POOLROOMS GET NEWS.
Telephone Wire to an afternoon
Newspaper Tapped.

There was uncovered at the Aqueduct race
track yesterday by one of the Pinkerton detec-
tives a simple method which has been employed
news TO poolrooms. The suspected person was a
runner for an afternoon newspaper.
1t reached Robert Pinkerton yesterday that the
poolrooms were receiving the results almost i'm
mediately after the races. and that they were
even obtaining advance information, such as
scratches This caused the detectives TO exercise
greater vigilance yesterday, and runners for af-
ternoon newspapers. who. by courtesy of the
track officials have been permitted to go out to
telephone results to their papers. were shadowed.
one of these telephoned from nearby road
house and a Pinkerton man discovered. after
the second race, that a wire leading TO tele-
phone on the second floor had been connected
with the one used by the runner on the ground
floor and that by this means a person upstairs
obtained all the information sent by the run
ner TO his paper.
The runner protested his ignorance of the
scheme, and said that the upstairs telephone
connection had probably been installed by the
proprietor of the roadhouse. Pinkerton 'oio tlie
stewards OF the discovery, and II is possible
further action will be taken in consequence.

colors and shapes Of scarfs For business
and for afternoon wear, too, unless it is
a special dress occasion, the four-in-hand
graduated cravats with diamond shaped
ends are worn to the exclusion of ascots.
or even bow ties. They are not as large
as the same style scarfs used a year ago
and tied that the knot is not more
than two inches long and in sucn fashion
that it tapers toward the end.
These ties In plain or ribbed silk are cor
rect in such staple colors as navy blue
that becomes so many men, dark green,
purple dark maroon, for every day wear,
these craVatS are in quite good taste If
selected in the lighter shades, such as Law
ender, old rose, heliotrope, the latter colors
being especially appropriate for early even
ing use, before time for q white dress tie,
and at functions where pearl gray would
not be good form.
Startling as the combination seems to be
even to women who are in the habit Of
time, 1t Is perfectly correct to wear dark
green scarf with a navy blue business suit
In selecting even these conservative
shades, however, 1t must be remembered
that so many colored shirts are worn that
the ties must be of colors that will not
clash, for in the costume all must be in
harmony If the general appearance is to
be pleasing.
For afternoon wear a pearl gray ascot
tied once so that it almost entirely fills
the space In the vest is smart now. This
gray silk in either light or dark tones is
attractive and fashionable In either plain
or self-fgured designs. When such era
watts with patterns are chosen, the device
should be small and indistinct. such as a
running floral vine, series of quaint
scrolls or geOmetric figures.
The white pique bow tie, plain or in a
honeycomb pattern, is always worn with
the frock coat for evening or for special
dress occasions. The cravat-a graduated
one-is about two inches in width, and is
tied in a loose large knot that lacks the
stiff appearance that Is hard to avoid in
small scarfs.
A style that is finding favor just now
is the use of gray silk bow ties to match
silk vests that are 80 much worn with
dinner coats. Plain black silk bow ties are
also correct with these coats.
No satin scarfS are permissible this year,
for all are of silk. A tie, according to the
quality of the material of which 1t Is made,
costs from 81 up. the average price rang
ing between 81 and So. so.

WHY SHOES DON'T SQUEAK NOW
Piece Of Tar Paper Between Soles
Prevents Noise.
From the Kansas City Star

From the Kansas lily Stdr
do you remember" asked the shoe sales
man, 1.-The days when new shoes creaked?
And how you used to have the shoemaker
put wooden pegs in the middle Of the sole
about every week to sop the noise? Some
times you soaked the soles of your shoes in
water and then had to rub them with lard
or some other kind of grease. to get them
flexible. You don't have to do that now.
The new welt has taken the squeak away.
In the old days the soles of shoes con-
sisted of two even pieces of leather and
the friction of these two pieces caused the
squeak when a person walked.
Shoes are made differently now. You
see that little piece of ridged leather that
runs from the heel around the outside of
the sole? That's what we call the welt.
1t is a piece of leather about an inch wide,
sewed to a flap cut and turned under the
inside The space between the outer side
and the insole is filled with ordinary tar
paper which holds the soles in shape and
also prevents squeaking by taking away
the friction. This system of a welt was
invented thirty years ago, but at first it
wasn't a success because the soles We're
sewed with straight needle. Couldn't ex-
plain 1t to you in 100 years, but to prevent
the squeaking the soles Of the shoe have
to be sewed with crooked needle.
you see. when a sole is sewed with
straight needle 1t leaves no f1exibility to
the sole. But the welt added SO much to
the appearance and strength of the shoe
that improvements were made on the first
system, and soon afterward the slant or
wide sewing by a crooked needle was pat
ented. A shoe that Is made with that I'M
provement costs twenty-five cents more to
the manufacturer than the old style. The
patent on 1t still holds good, and seventeen
and one-half cents, a royalty, has to be
paid on every pair Of shoes that is made
that way But it's worth 1t. A squeaking
shoe nowadays is as bad as out-of-date
dress or a straw hat In winter"

the tired eyes a bath every morning. Try
this stmulant:
One and three-quarters pints of distilled
water thirty centigrammes of sulphate Of
zinc, one gramme and fifty-five cent?
grammes of orris root powder.
Have your druggist compound this. pour
a small quantity into your eye-cup each
morning and open and shut the eye In the
solution until you feel that every portion of
the eyeball has been gently bathed and re-
freshed. For inflamed eyes, boric acid in
the proportion of ten grains to an ounce of
distilled water will also prove comforting.
Start the day with good circulation. A
few simple dumbbell exercises will accom-
plish this. Choose lightweight dumbbels,
say one pound each, to begin with. Stand
erect, heels together, toes out at an angle
of forty-five degrees, abdomen In, chest high
and chin In, Place the right hand holding the
uumbbell on The top of the right shoulder
and the left hand holding the other dumb
bell under the left shoulder. Thrust the
right arm up four times, counting slowly:
then rest four counts with the right hand
and thrust the left hand down four times.
Then, through eight counts, thrust the right
hand up and the left down simultaneously.
Reverse the position, with the left hand
above the LEFT shoulder and the right be-
low the right shoulder. and repeat the exer-
else. To induce circulation in the legs, lay
aside the dumbbells and take the first posi-
ton described above, with the hands on the
hips, elbows pointed out at the sides. Now.
throw the weight on the left foot, and. with
the right describe a circle at the side, the
toe pointing down. Reverse, throwing
weight on right foot and describing with
left foot.
If constant sitting at work table or desk
is giving you "dumpy" figure, try this ex-
ercse:
Lie face downward on the floor. with the
feet and knees together, the hands side by
side in front, the chin and palms down.
Take long breath while counting seven
inhaling through the nose and holding the
breath while lifting the full weight of the
body once on the palms of the hands and
the toes. Now let the body drop lightly to
the floor and exhale through the mouth
while counting six. Rest in this position a
moment before taking the second lift, and
this time try to lift the body twice while
counting seven. This will occasion some
stiffness at first, but will soon trim the
figure.
Allowing five minutes for your bath and
five for exercise, you have taken little time
indeed, to start the day right and ward
off many of the small ills which feminine
flesh is heir to.

STYLES in Ties

So many women buy mems ties nowadays
that they should follow closely the cor
rect styles in haberdashery and not make
the mistake of selecting scarf that is
distinctively for afternoon wear, for bust
ness cravat. For they should realize that
nothing in a mans wearing apparel SO pro-
claims not only good taste. but also breed
ing, as the ties worn, and 1t is essential
that they should be in keeping with the
clothes whether the latter are for business,
golf, afternoon or evening use. 1t must be
understood, too, that the scarf is. as a
rule, the only touch of brightness about a
mans dress, and hence must be carefully
chosen with regard to the colors that are
becoming to the wearer, and incidentally
In shades that are either always good
form. or are smart for the prevailing sea-
son.
Just now silk ties in loud colors or with
figures Of contrasting shades are not being
worn, for 1t Ia q conservative year, both in
