FOR CLEAN SPORT

A word to the baseball enthu- siasts of Fl Centro: The game is a sport, to be promoted in a friendly spirit and encouraged in a reasonable way by the people of the valley towns, and visiting players should be treated courte- ously. ''Rooting" for the home team is all right so long as it is good-humored and kept within bounds of decent civility. Offen- sive personal comments are likely to excite ill-feeling and are mex cusable. When roofing" de- generates into coarse abuse, it is time to stop it or stop the game.
 The Holtville players are good sportsmen, play the game in the right spirit and are entitled to more than merely civil treatment when they come to El Centro to help entertain the people with clean, amateur sport. El Centro owes it to herself as well as to visitors within her gates to be hospitable and not to allow ex- citement or desire to win a game to make her forget her manners. Let us not forget that the boys are playing for fun and recrea- ton, and that it is not a smart thing to shout at a man from the crowd what one would not say to him were he off the field and out of uniform.
 The Los Angeles superinten- dent of schools appears to have the happiness to be an educated jackass. Incited to pernicious activity of what he doubtless mis- takes for his mind by the exam pie of the New York board of politicians, who drove Christ out of the schools to make themselves solid with the Ghetto, the Los Angeles superintendent forbade teachers to mention the Christ legend in Christmas exercises and obliged them to speak only of the German myth, Santa Claus. Nobody but a fanatical antagon- ist to Christianity can find any thing to hurt his feelings or of. fend his prejudices in the story of the birth of Christ, even though he may object to religious teach ing in the public schools, and MT. Moore's attempt to start an in- deX expurgatorious with the Christmas legend only demon strated that common sense and judgment are not taught by books.
 The Counties Committee of the California Promotion Committee, at it's convention in Fresno, ad- opted resolutions demanding that laws to regulate transportation be enforced and that the railroads and their agents to keep out of politics and attend to their lawful business. If the corporations obey the law and cease doing pol itics, say the resolutions, the committee will do all in it's power to assist them and secure for them fair treatment. Corpora

The words Things to Mend" might be painted or worked. In the latter case the ribbon would have to be em- broidered before pasting it on the frame. Instead of covering with rib bon. the frame of the slate might be enameled some pretty color, or paint. ed with liquid gold.

IN VELVET AND CLOTH.
Both Smart When Used For Afternoon
 Wear.

Afternoon wraps differ chiefly from those designed for evening wear in coloring. but there are other points of unlikeness which are perhaps not noticeable. but just as real. Cloth and velvet are the principal materials made use of, but there are some silks and satins that are also in demand. To fit comfortably over a handsome reception gown wrap must be loose everywhere. and it should be sufficient. ly long to be real protection for the dress. With light cloth or velvet reception gown the cloak may be made like a loose separate wrap, so that it may be worn when desired with the gown. but without it the dress win be quite complete. The wrap then can be worn with any other form when occasion demands.
 Many different models are fashion. able this year for afternoon, and in each wrap the lines and cut are quite unlike. yet all are loose and long enough to protect the gown without altogether hiding it.
 An excellent style of afternoon wrar and . good design for cloak that may be worn with a cloth dress or over a light silk gown Is a model in peacock blue broadcloth made with the deep empire yoke in back, while in front the cloth hangs loose from the shoulders. although fitted hat across the shoulder. The collar is bordered with black velvet crossing over in front. and under medallions of passementrie. The full short sleeves are finished of with wide velvet cuffs, below which fall soft rufiies of lace.

Black Satin onee More Smart.

Black satin of the softest. lightest quality. of course. is among the smart things once more, and whether com bined with cloth or velvet or merely trimmed with heavy embroidery or black net or with heavy applique. into which threads of dull gold or silver enter. it is. if well made. a most modish and practical material All of the beautiful satin-nnished silks are much admired and used and there are some new veaves of this class which are among the ioveliest materials of the season Satin sultan is one of these. a marvelousiy lustrious and soft silk of considerable body and with a distinct cord weave, though the surface seems absolutely smooth Still more beautiful is the satin velour, which has a velvet finish but is as light and supple as the softest crepe. This satin velour has been received with acclaim by the great dressmak- CTS. and. though it is priced at 6 and se a year. 1t sells % rapidly that it is hard to find in the shops.
