What a Woman Nav No

A woman who is looking for some
thing new in the way of an occupa-
ton might follow the lead of the Paris
woman who has organized a messen-
ger service, and the woman was an
American. She has an army of BOYS
who work in eight-hour shifts and de-
liver messages on bicycles. 1t would
not be necessary to establish a mes
good enough service of that sort al
ready established. The only thing is
to establish something that Is needed
and that we have not got.

in the evening her social diversions
Such women should give at least half
an hour each day to complete relaxa-
ton. Late in the afternoon is the best
time, anywhere from half past four to
seven. One of the best methods of
resting is to take a hot bath and then
get into bed quite as if it We're bed
time. If one is only able to spend ten
minutes in bed this treatment will be
found wonderfully helpful.

Making Shoes Waferproof.

An old-fashioned method of keeping
the shoes impervious to water in rainy
weather was to rub the welt stitches
with piece of beef tallow. But this
is Objectionable, as traces of the grease
can be seen in the white PARTICLES of
the fat left. Castor oil applied with a
small brush is very much better. Only
little should be used and the brush
should preferably have stiff bristles-
the kind that comes with a bottle of
glue will answer.

The HuShnnd-Br ker.

The ingenuity of the modern woman
has discovered a new method of earn
ing a competence. She breaks hus-
bands. There have been women who
made their living at breaking horses
but not until very lately did some
emancipated female genius go in for
misunderstanding. Ingenious woman
For moderate fee she is prepared to
make heightened stay, and gradually

felt the effects of the fall so severely
as he does at this moment!

FISHING NOTES.

They are catching crabs at Elizabeth-
mer years This is probably due to the
flow of polluted water from the Passaic
River that passes along the west shore.
This water does not seem to reach the
Bayonne shore, which accounts for the
great number of crabs and eels now being
caught there.
Jerry Holland, of Plalnffeld, and Thomas
Curry. of New Brunswick fished at the
mouth of the Raritan River yesterday.
and in few hours they had caught twen7
ty-four bluetish and twenty-one weakfisa.s
They made their catch on the top of the
outgoing tide, and were anchored off the
coal docks.
The members of the Brownie Fishing
Club were down to~Barnegat Monday onf
their annual'fishing trip. They fished from
a motor boat and caught 121 small weak-f
trip and will then go out to the inlet after
the big fish George Bates won the pool
by catching the most fish.
John Porter and James Mckay f1shed at
Princess Bay yesterday. They found a
school of bluefish where they dropped an
chor and before the tide turned caught
forty-seven of them. After a rest of an
hour, they caught sixteen large weaktish
and n f1ve-pound f1uke. Some of the weak
fish weighed three pounds.
Michael Dunn and Harry Corbitt are
tenting at the Highlands. Yesterday they
expected company for a fish dinner. SO
Mike rowed out from the shore to the
steamboat channel and caught four weak
fish while his drop lines were catching
thirty-siX porgies. He used clans for the
porgies and shrimp for the weakfish.

WHAT PLAYERS SAY TO UMPIRES

was chased by Jack Sheridan. All he said
after being called out on strikes was.

Bill Dahen perhaps has been driven to
the bench oftener than any player IN the
country. Dahlen is a nagger. He keeps
right after an Umpire from the time he gets
displeased with a decision until the game
ends, and then starts over again the next
day He never is abusive. but he can make
remarks, In the uuietest way, Of any player
in either of the big leagues. Every time he
gets near an umpire during n game, If he
happens to be after that umpire, he dishes
out shot.

innings Dahl abused Hank like a pick

Big Bill Lange once was thrown out Cf
a game by Charlie Snyder. and the crowd
was sore over 1t. Snyder had been going
bad for several innings, and both teams
were kicking mildly. Lange was going
olF to the field smiling, and stopped In the
diamond to hand Lange something. Sny-'

first thing the crowd knew he was waving
Lange off the field. All Lange had done
was to give him pair of spectacles.

yesterday covered a measured mile IN

of the Atlantic City AutomoBile car-
nival- In spite of the wonderful speed
and show of power the slow surface OF
the beach made It impossible to break
the record of "a seconds. made over the
same mile by Walter Christie.
The record made yesterday was in
the third race In the free-for-all cham

that would make any event notable.
Besides the Thomas Vanderbilt racer.
there were the B. L. NJ car built for the
Vanderbilt race. the Matheson. for the

Big six and the six-cylinder Stearns.
Two heats were run and in the first one
were the Thomas, the Stearns and the p.

one. and made at high speed. The big
Stearns led two-thirds of the way. then
Roberts opened up and passed Leland like
shot and finished a hundred feet ahead,
with the B. L. NJ. on the outside course
and very close behind Robertss time was

Stevens Duryea apd the Matheson, entered
by j. b: Ryall. Of Newark. The former
had a lead of 100 yards at the finish, with
n time of 80 1-5s. The Stevens-Duryea is a
stock runabout and carried its lamps and
equipment, so its time was considered
especially fine. The final heat brought the
Thomas, Stearns and Stevens Duryea to-
gether. and the Thomas made the fastest
time of the meet so far. The Stearns was
/ 2-5s. behind and the Stevens-Duryea
third. Christie's time, that stands as a
record, was not made In competition.
In only one other event was speed of

uninjured, but the machine will be unable

The National Commission last week in
its official bulletin stated that the New
York National League Club may have the
pick of the Newark team at the close OF
the season as a result of the Gilbert-Aul-
len deal Manager Burnham declares there
is a misunderstanding about that. When
the Gilbert deal was put through says the
Newark maEager thR player was sold for
Il nominal price. with a further agreement
that, should the Newark club decide TO
sell one of Its players during the season

may select. the price TO be materially
agreed upon. That is, New York could
have It's pick only # the Newark club

chased outright without any string or pro-
viso attached to him.
