II may be said in passing that the outlook for
racing is brighter just than at any time
since the passage of the AgnewHart law. The
decision of Justice Bschoff last week that oral
betting is not a violation of the new statute
cleared the atmosphere to some extent, as it
viii mean the withdrawal of police censorship as
soon as the authorities satisfied that the
various racing associations are as anxious as
they are to see that the law against book
making, under the construction Of the courts, is
not violated. Those in control of the sport have
too much at stake to shut their eyes to existing
conditions. 1t is their purpose to maintain rae
ing the same high scale as heretofore, and
they realize that this be done only by de-
voting every effort to see that the law is OBJ
served to the letter. Those who must wager can
do so without violating the statute, but the
associations will insist that it be done in a legal
way not at all. The size of the crowd at
Sheesphead Bay on Saturday furnished another
striking illustration of the remarkable popularity
of racing.

that il may be renewed another year If the

In spite of the small purses, which will run
from 800 te 5000, the conditions for the races
at Brighton Beach have been framed In a way
10 insure good fields so that there will be no
lack of entertainment. even IL there is lack

The Century Plant,

The century plant, SO named because
Of the popular idea that it blooms but
once in hundred years, in one sense
makes good it's name, for it blooms
only once, then dies. In the genial
climate Of southern California it reach
es maturity and blooms in fifteen or
twenty years, while in colder climates
the period may range from forty to
fifty years. There are many species OF
the agave family native to northern
Mexico, where it is called the nlaguey.
The plant furnishes ''pulque," the ma
tional drink of Mexico. At the time Of
blooming the plant throws up single
stock of rapid growth to the height Of
twelve to twenty feet, from which the
tassel-like flowers sprout forth. This
great flower stalk draws all the sap
and vigor from the body of the plant,
which soon withers and dies.

A PARTISAN RUSE.
The Dressmaker's Lure That Ensnared
the Americans.

The Dressmaker's Lure That Ensnared
the Americans.
Grace Margaret Gould tells in the
September Woman's Home Companion
some of the ways the Partisan dress
making establishments sell their goods
to American women. Here is one ruse
that she saw worked in one of the big.
gest establishments in Paris:
There was sudden and evident
commotion among the employees.
'"The princess! The princess! She
has arrived" they cried.
American eyes began to bulge.
Out from a magnificent equipage
stepped regally gowned grand lady,
attended by footmen and maid and re-
ceived by the whole bowling estab-
lishment, to the neglect of all other
customers She was in gracious
mood this day and easy to be pleased,
praising their past efforts and select
ing several Of their new creations with
out regard to cost. After she had
made her departure amid like cere-
monies there was no need Of the sales
woman bOthering her head over suG-
gestions. Every American woman
present wanted gown copied from
the one the princess had bought. and
she got it after much pleading and at
price far beyond the limit she had
set.
And the point Of this fable is this
The princess was no princess, but an
, employee of the house.
Every French gown has two prices
an American price and French price
1t Is needless to say which is the
! greater price.
! Along about April the cry goes up
| ''The Americans are comingH' and ther
| the prices go up too.
| Along about November, when the
Americans have left, you might almost
say they are giving away gowns, only
the Frenchman never does give away
| anything. Then it is that the French
woman in general and the French
actress in particular selects her ward

20 to the mound builders said Pro
fessor Frederick Starr Of the Univer-
sity of Chicago in a recent lecture
on prehistoric archaeology. Professor
Starr declares that through the south
ern part of Ohio and Indiana he has
found economically perfect mounds
or Enclosures closely resembling the
modern baseball diamond. These are
generally believed to have been built
for purposes Of protection. Professor
Starr, however, says.
"They are nothing more or less than
old baseball fields of the mound build
ers. The game as played by these old
people resembled our modern game
closely. The most essential difference
is that our game calls for only nine
players, while in prehistoric times as
many as a hundred men were neces-
sary."

Members Limited to Fourteen Drinks
of Liquor Daily.
Signing the pledge" is no new thing,
as is proved by researches in Italy.
Interesting particulars of what would
appear to be the earliest examples of
written pledges to abstain from gam
bling and excessive drinking are given
in the Turin Studi MEDIEVAL by Signor
Girolamo Biscaro, who has discovered
three such documents in the archives
of Milan. The first Of these records is
an oath sworn on the gospels by Gia-
como PasQuali and Armanino Duca
to the effect that for two years they
will abstain from gambling in Payia
or within three miles thereof and will
likewise refrain from inducing others
to gamble on their behalf. The penal
ty for any breach Of this oath is fixed
at 5 soldi, payable to Papio Bovatorio.
In the second document Perano de
Bono promises Uberto de Proto to
abstain from gambling for certain
period, exception being made on be-
half of the game Of bismentiro, at
which, however, he was not to lose
more than 2 denari on any one day.
Further, he undertakes not to visit
any inn for drinking purposes before
the hour OF vespers on Monday. A
breach Of either clause of the pledge
involves the payment of 5 soldi TO De
Proto BY the third document Sileto
Ferrario expressed his willingness to
pay II denari to his brother Lamperio
should he be persuaded to play for
money in any place Of public resort or
to spend more than 2 denari on intoxi-
cants in any one day.
The motive for these contracts is not
stated, but it is presumed that they
were entered into by employees whose
masters wished to keep their procliyi-
ties in check There is nothing in the
documents to suggest the existence Of
any organization for the promotion Of
temperance The honor Of being first
in the field in this respect therefore
still rests with Germany, where two
temperance societies were founded in
| the sixteenth century.
I Of these the Order Of St. Christie
pher was formed by Sigismund de
| Diettrichstein on Jan. 49, 1917. and the
IOrder of Temperance by the landgrave
of Hesse on Dec. %. 1900. The mem
bers of the one order were pledged to
abstain from toast drinking, and the
members Of the other undertook not

HOW He SLEPT.
His Experience With a Noisy and Per.

Wertz recently was presented with
an old fashioned clock. That evening
he hung it on his bedroom wall, wound
it up and after admiring it awhile
went to sleep. he was drifting into
very pleasant dreams when he was
startled.
"Coo-coo, coo-coop'
Wertz sat up with start, but in an
instant recovered his wits and listened
to eight more coo-coos with foolish
grin Then he lay back and went to
sleep again.
He had got into fine doze by the
time the thing went off again. This
time he didn't grin.
Wertz is a light sleeper, and, though
he tried to get used to the thing, he
gave up after the cuckoo had announc-
ed 2 O'Clock and got up and stopped
the clock.
Next evening Wertz Junior, who had
not seen the clock, went to look at it.
