GIRLS AND FOOTBALL

XII T IS pertinent, and not uncom-
plimentary, to speculate upon
Il the inducements that attract so
many women to football games says
the Boston Transcript. "A few of the
gentler sex understand all the fine
points of the game; a large number
appreciate the instant's play that in
vites quick and hearty applause, while
the remainder depend, either very
very frankly or quite surreptitiously,
upon their escorts or upon the black
boards figures for information as to
how the game is going" There is
nothing very surprising in the interest
women take in football. Although she
will not admit it, woman still retains
a little of the savage in her compost
ton; and the enthusiasm she exhibits
on the football grounds is akin to the
interest her foresisters took in the
rough and tumble tournaments of the
golden days of Camelot and the gladi-
atorial days of ancient Rome. In Span
ish countries women are as deeply in
terested in bull fighting as the men

To mummy's arms when daylight's gone
away
1t is not that I'm a coward-darkness can
not do me harm
I know there's nothing there to give me
fright
But like the comfy feeling of my num-
my's cuddling arm
In the really truly middle OF the night!

THANKSGIVING DAY

My Dear Nephews and Nieces;
MO one was very enthusiastic about
v baseball OF. basketball. 1 thought
~ that the subject would bring
forth many splendid letters But it
did not. Perhaps the boys and girls
who indulge in these sports do not care
for the Herald Junior. This remark is
not to be taken by all my young con-
tributors. A great many of my staunch
supporters wrote entertainingly and at
length about the games or some fea-
lures of one of them, but the topic did
not call forth the general interest that
some earlier subjects developed.
This week, however, the topic ought
to please every boy and girl who reads
the Herald Junior. want each one of
you to write and tell me a.out the hap
piest Thanksgiving day you ever spent.
Aunt Laurie wants to hear all about
that day, whether it was spent in Cali
fornia or in some other state. Perhaps
it was a day in the north, where the
snowfiakes filled the air, and sleds and
skates were called forth. Perhaps
there was a sleigh ride with tingling
bells and warm furry robes pulled close
to keep Jack Frost away. Some happy
days may have been spent where large
family gatherings took place. Maybe
some Juniors will remember a day
when the entire family of aunts and
uncles, cousins and grandchildren all
assembled around the broad hearth of
grandpa's old home Of course great
many of our Juniors are California
boys and girls, and they will never be-
lieve that there could be pleasanter
day or way than those of their native
state, so we may expect much rivalry
between the native sons and daughters
who will extol the happiness of sun
shiny Thanksgiving days under the
spreading pepper boughs, surrounded
with poisoning rose trees, and the
children of the north and east who
remember with zest the swapping cold
mornings and the clear glow of the
sun as it rose tardily over the frosty
landscape.
Let us see now whose description will
be the best and who will write me the
very jolliest description of the happy
day.
Each week many notes reach me ask
ing for personal replies. When the
Herald Junior was first started this
was possible and a request which
granted frequently, but the enormous
quantity of mail which now comes each
week to my desk makes this pleasure
one which must, forego except on very
rare occasions. 1 assure all my dear
boys and girls. however, that I appre-
ciate their little confidential letters
greatly, and hope they will continue to
write them.
II all the Juniors will be sure that
their letters are plainly addressed to
Aunt Laurie, Herald Junior, care The
Herald, Los Angeles, delivery to the
proper desk will be much facilitated.
With affection for each one of you,
AUNT LAURIE.

WHAT ABOUT A COOK STOVE?

Now that summer time and dog days" are just ahead, everybody who summers" at home is considering how to simplify things and get the most comfort out of an uncomfortable sit- uation. We interview the ice-man; or der thin clothes; plan to ease up here and relax there; but more than likely forget the one most important item in the whole hot-weather scheme-some means of doing the family cooking without the insufferable heat of coal fire in the kitchen. Everyone with epxe- rience knows how tiresome it is to stay in stuffy room to prepare meal, let alone doing of big baking. But ev- eryone doesn't know how easy it is to change hot kitchen to cool one, and do better cooking at the same time. Just add to your list of summer con- veniences a New Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove and you've done all that any one can do to lessen hot weather discomfort. Wouldn't it be fine of summer morning to step Tn the kitchen, put on the kettle, broil the steak, bake the mullins, filter the coffee and give the breakfast call on one fourth the time you'd take to do it all on coal stove? And wouldn't it be fine to be as cool when the breakfast was prepared as when you first en- tered the kitchen? People who have tried it say that the New Perfection Oil Stove actually does everything in the line of cooking and domestic ser vice without overheating the room or the worker. Undoubtedly the reason is to be found in the blue flame princi- pie on which the stove works. A cyl- indrical chimney concentrates the heat at the stove top and in this way pre- vents surface radiation as in a coal or wood stove. It is easy to see that this lessens very much the matter of person. al discomfort in summer housekeeping.
 So don't forget the New Perfection Oil Stove in your summer plans and you will have comfortable kitchen and the best cook-stove in the world.

M. r. Crowe of Botsford met with a serious accident, last week Monday, while driving to his work and one that will lay him up for several weeks. The harness broke and MT Grove bent over to fix it, the horse started and he was caught between the wheel and the shaft and could not right himself. The wheel bruised and hit MT Grove. He had two bad wounds, one on his hip and the other on his forehead, besides being badly bruised all over. Dr Wales was called and dressed the wound but it will be several weeks before he will be able to be out again. It is a miracle he was not killed outright. MT Grove has the sympathy of a very large circle of friends in his bad accident and the best wishes of his friends for a speedy re- covery.

Groups here and there congregated on the street in Newtown and Sandy Hook, Friday night, from 7.45 to 8.3O p. m., attracted by an unusual sight in the heavens. It appeared to be new omet or the aura borealis. The con- ct, if such it was, extended in an arc of about 100 degrees from the eastern horizon to beyond the meridian, and had a gleami,g white head, which dis appeared in a westerly direction from the earth. The tail, which seemed from the earth about a foot wide, was of a hue more whitish than red. Short- ly after 8.30 the whole slowly faded from view.
