It will also hear the report of the committee ap- pointed to consider the question of adopting scantlng restrictions. There will be no change in scant- ling restrictions this year, though the work will doubtless be unGer- taken in the spring and completed before the end of summer. It can be announced that the differences that arose over the racing dates has been adjusted satisfa ctorily. both among the Sound clubs and in the New York Yacht Club, the latter changing the date for it's annual regatta, fixed for June 27 originally The races will be held on June 20, which will conflict neither with the Yale-Harvard boat race, nor the cruising race from Greenwich to New London project ed by the Indian Harbor Yacht Club.
 Tomorrow the Yacht Racing As sociation of Long Island Sound will elect it's officers for the year, and fix it's schedule of racing fixtures and adopt the changes in the rae ing code. The same men are en- gagged in the association as in the New York Yacht Club on the rac- ing code, so uniformity will be maintained.

Convenience in the Pantry.


In the modern American house there IL
usually small room between the kitchen
and the dining room and communicating
with both, which is commonly called, for
the lack Of a better term, "the buffers
pantry" This is proper title for such a
room in the larger houses where the butler
is a reality, for here he reigns supreme;
but in the majority OF American houses the
term is rather a misnomer. The room is
sometimes modestly called the "china
closet" but this also conveys rather
wrong impression, for while it is truly
china closet, it is also something much
more than this. Perhaps the term which
would best suggest the true character Of
the room is that which Is occasionally used
the Serving ROOM" AS the room is pri-
marily a serving room, there must be plenty
of shelf space for the dishes coming from
the kitchen on their way to the dining room
and for the soiled dishes coming back from
the dining room. This demand is met by
placing shelf about two feet wide around
the room at a convenient height-usually
about two feet eight inches to two feet ten
inches from the floor-known as the coun-
tershelf A cupboard for trays should be
provided with a series of thin shelves mar
rowly spaced-either sliding or stationary
on which the trays rest, or with upright
bars, between which the trays, standing on
edge. may be slid. A plate warmer may be
provided under the countershelf over reg
lister from the hot-air furnace, or 1t may be
heated by steam, gas, hot water or cleo
tricity.

GERMAN CHAMBER Plays
A New Feature Of German Dramatic
Art That Has Found Favor.

From the New York Sun.
The German theater which is productive
Of so much that is novel in the art, has
just put to its credit the "Kammerspiele, -
or, to translate 1t literally, chamber
pays" The significance Of the description
is plain when one considers what the first
word means when applied to music. The
purpose Of these new performances is to
submit dramas to the public in the same
intimate manner.
|. Max Henhardt, stage manager Of the
Deutsches Theater in Berlin, selected a hall
which had been used for balls and concerts.
It has but one small gallery. At one end is
the stage. The proscenium arch, or what
corresponds to that in an ordinary theater,
is so arranged that the curtain rises no
higher than the point at which the ceiling
of the room, when the scene is an Interior.
Is seen. This gives an aspect of symmetry
rarely seen in stage pictures, and in a high
degree preservative of the illusion which
Herr Reinhardt seeks to produce-that of
the third wall The spectator is supposed
to look into a room from which the third
wall has been removed.
OF course the manner Or acting on such a
stage must be suited to its intimate sur
roundings. AS 1t is the intention Of Rein
hardt to produce only modern plays in this
little house, the acting is all realistic. The
opening production was Ibsen's Ghosts"
which made a profound impression. Agnes
Sorma, the great Nora of her day, appeared
for the first time in a mother role, and won
praise as Mrs. Alving. The greatest tribute
to these performances was the agreement
that Herr Reinhardt had accomplished his
purpose. He had made the spectators feel
that they had watched this family tragedy
through the wall of a house in which it
was enacted.
The lighting of the stage is done from
the top and through the windows, and Is
said to be a wonderful approximation to
the appearance of nature The audience is
separated from the stage by only a narrow
space. That gave the necessary effect Of
distance without destroying the intimacy
of enect from the stage. In every detail the
audience has the effect of the life Of this
family, even to the noise made by the char
acters as they step from the carpet in the
center of the room to the board floor
about it.
The performances are given by subscrip-
ton, and Herr Reinhardt was able to ac-
commodate only a. small part of the number
that wanted to see the plays.

TO SAVE 500 LIVES A YEAR.
Railroads Elevate 900 Miles Of Track
In Chicago.

From the Technical World
The railroads Of the country are spending
$lOO.0O0.O00 to make the streets Of Chicago
safe. On an average 500 people a year are
run over by passing trains or are Injured
In collisions with steam locomotives while
using Chicago's streets.
Ten years ago Chicago decided that the
elevation Of all steam railway tracks was
the only means Of protecting her citizens
from the deadly grade crossings. Now the
railroads are footing the bill.
Last year more than $1,000 men were en-.
ployed in the work of elevatng the tracks,
and 1t cost the railroads about 49, 600
Chicago is not the only city which is having
her steam railway tracks elevated but Chi
cago Is the only city which is making the
railroads pay for the Job
Chicago has already accomplished the ele-
Vation OF 800 miles of steam railway tracks
within her borders and has made the rail-
roads pay every cent Of the $5OO0O 600
which 1t has cost.
Sixteen hundred miles of railroad tracks
In one city is something rather difficult to
comprehend without comparisons. Sixteen
hundred miles OF right Of way is nearly
enough to build two elev; I'd railroads from
Chicago to Philadelphia
:. IL is more than enough to build a single
line from Chicago to Boston, or to Calves
ton. or to Santa Fe, N. NJ, or to Jackson
Lake CITY. This is entirely independent Of
any lines operated by electricity or by any
power other than steam.
Excepting the lowered and walIed-fn
tracks of the Illinois Central along the lake
front, where there are no street crossin0s
every mile Of this trackage will have been
elevated when the work now in progress u
completed.

Mystery Cleared Regarding q Babe
Found on Street.

Precinct Detective Green Of the tenth pre-
cinct this afternoon. 1t is believed. cleared
up the mystery surrounding the finding of
an infant near the corner Of 18th street and
Florida avenue northwest. early this morn
ing. At the house of detention, this after
noon. It is stated. the officer secured a con-
fession from Nanny Queen, colored. that
she left the child where it was found. 1t be-
ling born In q yard near the street last
night.
A telephone message was received at the
tenth precinct station house about o'clock
last night, from a drug store on the corner
Of 18th street and Florida avenue, stating
that an infant had been found near there,
and asking the police to take charge OF 1t.
The man did not give his name. and before
the police could arrive he disappeared, and
no trace Of him has been found. He was
unknown to the drug store clerk.
The wagon of the eighth precinct was
sent to the place indicated by the telephone
message, and a living infant was found
there. The child was carried to the Freed
mems Hospital, where 1t is now being cared
for. About the same time a woman was ar
rested on suspicion at Brightwood. She
was observed by an ofhcer, it Is said. trying
to get under the porch of a house there:
and showing signs of illness, she was sent
to the house of detention.
The detective had a talk with the woman
today and the latter gave a statement, ad-
hitting that the child was born while she
was near 18th street and Florida. avenue.
and that she left it there and walked out
toward BrightwoOd, where she was found.

Boxing in Paris.
T. p. o. of London.


Boxing has become quite the rage in
Paris the old savate. win its effective high
kicking, has been discarded for the noble
art" of Britain. But our lively neighbor the
Gaul has always had a sneaking affection
for a manly bout of f1sticuffs rAnglais.
When Owen Swift, the famous champion Of
the lightweights took refuge in Paris after
killing. his opponent, Brighton Bill, in Q
prize fight, he was patronized by all the
members of the French Jockey Club. After
fierce battle at Charenton with Jack
Adams. another pugilist of renown, Swift
was arrested and brought before the Paris
tribunal of correctional police on a charge
of having inflicted wounds occasoning an
incapacity to labor for less than twenty
days" Owens description, in his evidence.
Of the course of training which he had to
go through had an amusing effect upon the
young sporting swefls Of Paris. For months
afterward these young exquistes might be
seen going at their best pace along the
streets and boulevards, muffied up to their
eyes in sweaters and great coats, getting
into condition for boxing.

CARS OUT ON THE BEACH.
Preparing for the Automobile Races

ORMOND, Fla, January 21-With the
most ideal weather that has prevailed in
the opening Of any tournament, and with
a perfect racing surface on the beach, con-
ditions for the opening Of the fifth inter-
national automobile tournament today were
excellent. The first day, however, will be
devoted entirely to unofficial trials, the test
ing Of timing apparatus and completing
other details of the preliminaries. Unless
present plans are changed, no official trials
will be run until tomorrow.
All the cars now here were out on the
beach early today for the preliminary tests.
The cigar-shaped steamer which made the
mile last year in % 10 seconds Is here
again this year, with its power considerably
increased. Marriott, it's driver, said to-
day that with favorable conditions pre-
vailing he expects Ito bring the record
down to 25 seconds.

in which there may be a little surface

follows that when the mousse" is normal

Of Friendship Among Women.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Can women be friends? Sacrifices for
the sake Of love Of man and offspring are
recorded without number, but female
Davids and Damons are not readily dis
covered in either history or legend. Pro-
fessors of platonic affection continue to
evoke 1eers of incredulity, and the tradi-
tionaI disingenuousness of dearest friends
still plays well it's part in caricature. The
changeableness of woman's nature has be-
come automatic. Can it be that, through
out the ages, even to these enlightened
days, ii has retained consistency In this
respect alone? 1t suff1ces for us to raise
the question; to others of more certain
mind we relinquish the hazardous privilege
of adducing evidence and passing judg-
ment.
