designed by ordnance experts in the

BILE balloons and aerOplanes. General
Grozier, chief Of ordnance, in his annual
report, submitted today, outlines some
Of the difficulties which the gun must
overcome.
'Dirigible balloons and aeroplanes
move rapidly, change directions quick
ly, alter their elevations at will, and are
removed from any objects that assist
aiming" points out the ordnance chief.
For short ranges, General Crozier says
it is probable that the fire Of small

the men aboard airships viii prove
most effective.
Sixty United States rifles, caliber 80,
model of 1903, are now being fitted with

Five Records Go.

A wholesale slaughter Of records was
enacted at Celtic park on October 10, in
which five worlds records fell bv the
wayside and a new American record was
established. Sheridan was the hero of
the day, SURPRISING his best previous
worlds record with the discus (Oiympian
style) and displaCing Jim Mitchell as
American king with the 42-pound stone.
Martin scaled the steel saucer 142 feet
1914 inches, exceeding his former record Of
40 feet 81 inches made at Pastime Oval
on October f, 1903. After forsaking the
42-pOund stone as a regular event for
quite a number Of years, the Irish club
revived this event just to let her brawny
athletes have a try at the record, and
sure enough sheridan jostled Mitchell
mark of Is feet So inches by tossing The
huge rock q feet 9 inches.

oisive score OF 43 TO 81 In view Of
the fact that articles have been pub

II is no more than right that the play
be stated as Il occurred.
1t Is true that the Ogden boys played
more open field game and on some
occasions did some brilliant passing,
but when It came to basket throwing
they were not in it with the academy
boys. The visitors, as they admit,
could not solve the style of play
adopted by the Fielding boys" The
visitors also say that practically ev-

That this assertion is unjust and I'M
founded will be seen by the Official

is still four points in the lead having

FOR TIL SUMNER
Forecast Of NateFfaIs
and Styles That Mill
Be Popular in tbe
Warn0 NoDtbs.

1t is not known definitely before
March or April what to expect of
spring and summer modes In the
matter of materials the problem of
choice should not be more confusing
than usual The first of the year al
ways brings out an advance choosing
Of summer materials and clever wom-
en- have learned to pick up some of
these materials and trimmings instead
of trusting to the mid-season display.
The lingerie frocks are chiefly of
the type popular last summer, with
clinging blouse and skirt set together
with waistband of lace or embroidery,
and this waiStband is located accord
ing to the caprice of the designer. The
stumbling block for the designer of
the sheer summer frock at present ia
the skirt.
The clinging directoire skirt or
plain, close-fitting circular skirt is all
very well for supple satins, crepes,
broadcloths, ETC., but for batiste, lawn
and other summer materials it is hard
" possible, even when a cleverly
fitted slip is worn under it, and for
the genuine tub frock the thing is out
of the question.
1t will be interesting to see what
the developments will be along this
line later in the season, but in this
advance stage of the game makers are
merely experimenting and some of the
experiments show skillfuIly gored,
close-fitting tops with plating intro
duced below. For example, one of
these frocks made for a southern
wardrobe was of batiste and had lines
of inset valenciennes insertion bor-
dered by tiny frills of lace running
down from the waistband half way
down the skirt in front and sides, this
part of the skirt beng quite closely
fitted.
Each line of trimming is finished at
the bottom with motif of lace and
from this motif starts a group Of
plaits, three in number, giving suffi-
cient fullness to the filmy material at
the bottom of the skirt. The bodice
of this little model is good, too, and
simple enough to be easily copied by
a home SeamStreSS. Small batiSte COW
cred buttons are set along lines of in
sertion in the sleeves and bodice front,
forming the only decoration
The long sleeve IS seen in all the
sheer frocks and many women will
sigh regretfully next summer for the
short sleeves of yesteryear. A pretty
long sleeve is almost as much OF a
problem as the skirt, and the sleeve
tucked regularly or in groups has
been done to death this winter, so
that, though it will doubtless be the
model most common in the summer
frocks, the fastidious will strive hard
to get away from it.

HEALTH In DANCE
Gan BE Nade to Take
tbe Place Of Regular
GymDastfS Ex@r-
@iseS.

The dancing that girls should do
that they may acquire health and
grace is not done on the waxed floor
of a ballroom, but on the rough con-
crete or canvas floor of a gymnasium.
or even the carpet of bedroom.
Before the recent Juror for artistic
dancing that has gained such an inn
petus in the last year or two with
watching Genee, Isadora Duncan and
Gertrude Hoffman, our women had
learned the benefit of what is called
athletic dancing.
To waltz or two step well develops a
swaying grace and is essential to So
cial success, but it's benefit on the
health may be questioned. The hour at
which social dancing is done, not tG
mention the heated room, tight clothes
and rich food late at night, does not
make it a great health builder.
Athletic dancing, on the other hand,
builds up the muscles of the legs.
ankles and back, increases the endur-
ance of the heart and gives the whole
body more poise and grace. There is
much swaying Of the body and use
Of the arms, so that every muscle is
brought into play.

In getting rid of ffeshy hips this
gymnastfc dancing is one of the latest
fads, and the woman who suffers with
weak ankles or if she is inclined to
stumble and walk uncertainty will find
1T beneficial.
AS the muscles of the legs get more
exercise than those of the upper part
of the body, 1t is well to alternate
the dancing with dumb-bell or wand
movements to equalize' control of all
muscles in the body.
