SUGGESTIONS FOR CLOSETS
IN SMALL APARTMENTS
Shelves, Cupboards, Bookcases, Dressing Tables
May Be Simply Constructed by Housewives.

A clever woman, who. at the expense
OF two or three dollars. converted an
Objectionable doorway in her apartment
into a most convenient desk and book
case. has set an example that many
housewives could follow with profit.
Fortunately for the purpose of the one
woman. the casing was in the sitting room
the door proper opening into the next
room. The door was removed from its
hinges and sent to the storeroom. but it
might quite as well have been closed and
left in place. For the casing became the

inches from the top a shelf was fitted and

shelf, two small drawers were made and

Manager of Hospital Team Explains
Necessity for His Lineup.

The following letter. addressed to
the Sporting Editor OF the Daily Press.
was received yesterday:
81 have just lead in the Press that
the manager of the Thirteenth Com
pany. Coast Artillery Corps, station
ed at Fort Monroe. Virginia, seems TO
be of the opinion that the defeat OF
his fast aggregation of ball players
as he states, was entirely due to the
picked team that the Hospital Corps
pitted against them.
AT the present time the strength.
Of the Thirteenth Company c. A e.
numbers some where about 40 men to
the company, while the strength OF
the hospital corps only IS. To pick
: men from the detachment out OF IL.
all OF whom are considered to be bail
players. and DO not pretend TO call
themselves such, take it as mere
Joke in defeating such team as the
manager Of the Thirteenth Company
calls them. "a fast aggregation
"Tbe nick that the hospital corps
has from the different branches at TINS
post seems to make the manager, the
Hon. ]. Deavy, feel that they were
not entitled to the victory. Some day
when the detachment of this hospital
can place an entire team or hospi-
tai corps men in the field. they might
challenge the Hon Mr.. John Deavy
and take him at his word, at three out
of five games.
AT the present time there are only
five hospital corps men playing on
the team and it wouldn't look very
coed should the same team that de-
feated them last Sunday defeat them
three out of five.

Yours very truly.
