INDOOR BASEBALL
GAME TO NIGHT
Town and College Mines Will Line
Up at the Auditorium in
First Game.

Tonight the people of Winchester
are to have an Opportunity to see
their first game of indoor baseball.
This game is having greater popu-
iaritv this year than ever before. In
the East it is superceding all the other
games. The latest development is
that Christy MthewsOn, the great New
York twirler has organized team
of all star players and IS touring the
Eastern States with it. That this in
creased popularity IS deserved will
be the opinion of our people after
having seen the first game. 1t has
all the dash and swing that the out
door game has and will prove just
as interesting and fascinating. A
few nights ago a game was played in
Cincinnati and drew a crowd of over
1900. -
Represent Town and College.
The two teams that will line up
against each other will represent the
town and the college. The teams
have put in some faithful practice for
this game and viii move fast from
start to finish. The PLAYERS are en-
thusiastic over the game and see in
it great possibilities of developing
team, play and speed.
Captained BY Grain.
The town team, captained by Grain,
shows a good knowledge of the game
and are picked to win the first game,
but the material to be picked from
the college promises to develop into
more finished team with more prac-

two sections, those representing the
college will be lined no around the

town sympathizers will occupy the

will be provided at either end.

Dogs as Suicides.

According to M. Camille Flam-
marion, the eminent astronomer and
psychologist, It is possible for dogs to
commit suicide. We ourselves have
heard OF such things aud take more or
less stock in them, but NJ. Flammarion
believes that dogs suffer from grief
and despair ard kill themselves like
human beings. His remarks were oc.
casioned by the alleged suicide OF a
Saint Bernard dog who threw himself
under a motor bus in the Place Saint
Sulpice recently, an hour after the
death of his mistress. He argues that
the dog may be assumed to have
known as well as human being that
motor bus would crush him to death,
and when he got in front of its wheels
he probably did so as the quickest
way to end his grief at his mistress
demise. M. Flammarlon cites other In
stances which have come under his
notice of dogs committing suicide, and
concludes that the stories are not so
incredible as they seem at first sight,
and adds that dogs may have even Dor.
rowed the instinct from man. But hav.
ing given dogs credit for memory and
intense affection, says the Boston Her.

as well as memory and affections.
Many dog has died OF grief even II
he did not commit suicide.

Government, Help in Fighting Fire.

Government Help in Fighting Fire.
The methods Of preventing forest
fires employed by the service are sim.
pie and depend for their efficacy main.
ly upon eternal vigilance. The areas
included in the boundaries OF the re.
serves are constantly patrolled by a
force OF rangers and guards. During
the past summer the men thus en-
ployed numbered about thirteen hun.
dred. The average area that each was
required to protect was more than a
hundred and twenty thousand acres,
says the Craftsman. The forester rea-
Lies that this is too much ground for
one man to cover properly, but con.
gress has not made the funds available
for the employment OF larger force.
Roads and trails are constructed In
order TO facilitate rapid travel from
one part of the reserve to another and
TO expedite the massing OF large num-
bers, as well as TO furnish vantage
points from which TO conduct the fight
against the flames. Telephone lines
connect rangers stations with head.
quarters in order that fires may be
quickly reported and prompt measures
adopted to extinguish them. During
the last fiscal year 160 miles OF road,
80 miles Of trail and $500 miles OF tel
ephone line were constructed In the
national forests. The officers OF the
service now receive the most ready as
sistance from persons living in the
vicinity OF the reserves, and especially
from stockmen and others who use the
forests under permits. The latter are
required by the terms of the agree
ment for grazing or numbering to ex-
tend all possible assistance in case of
fire: the former are beginning to ap-
preciate the fact that the forests are
the property OF the people and that
any damage inflicted upon them must
entail a loss to the people at large and
most directly TO the local residents.

Gardens Need
PAuSh Care aDd
Ate DfioD.

Water is the most essential element
Of plant food. and water and air are
two things that every plant requires,
yet there are no set rules that can be
given when these things should be
applied. Generally speaking, however,
plant should only be watered when
II is dry. and should then be watered
sufficiently to wet II thoroughly. Some
times It is necessary TO water plants
two or three times a day in sunny
weather, and again, in cloudy weather,
once a week may be often enough.
Plants should receive good air II is
well TO open window for few mo-
ments every bright, sunny day, even
in winter. Dust frequently clogs the
pores. For this reason 1t is best to
sprinkle the foliage plants by taking
them to the kitchen sink or to the
bathtub at least once or twice a week.
II this is not practicable. dusting with
a duster or washing coriaceous leaves
with sponge is advisable. Where the
plants can be properly sprayed they
are not likely to be troubled very much

Objectionable to have in living room.
The best preventive is to always keep
the plants in perfect health and
growing. The pots or window boxes
should be turned frequently so as to
have the plants develop symmetrically
After all, the secret of the greatest
success with the window garden is the
innate love for flowers by the one who
cares for them, worked out by coming
in daily contact with the plants them
selves and thus learning the individual
needs of each plant
The environments of no two window
gardens are exactly alike and thus
each one calls for different treatment.
However, If you study plants and full
fill their wants, they will nearly al
ways entirely fulfill your wishes in
cheering and beautifuying your school
room or home.

Gifts TO BrideSmaids
Made in New aDd
Pretty EasbioD.

At recent wedding the bride hit
on novel way of presenting the
souvenirs to her bridesmaids, that
added much TO the interest OF the occa.
sion.
After much looking she found in
Russian art store a number of fascinat-
ing old silver belt buckles, such as are
worn by the peasants in Russia.
The one drawback was that eight
buckles alike were not TO be pur-
chased. But the girl hit on the happy
plan of making the bridesmaids draw
for their own gifts.
Each buckle was done up daintily
In box used for the wedding cake,
with the monogram of the bride and
groom on top. These were put in the
center of wedding bell, Of white gar
den chrysanthemums, and white rib
bon with a small heart, cut from sill
yer paper, was attached to each pack
age.
The bell was a homemade affair,
made from fine wire, with the flowers
stuck in through the meshes. Each
stem was wrapped in damp sphagnum
moss to keep 1t fresh.
The boxes were concealed in the top
of the bell above the clapper. A wire
shelf was run across, with an opening
on one side, through which the boxes
were slipped. The shelf was hidden
by being wound with greens.
Each heart had a number on the
wrong side which was repeated on the
box to avoid mistakes.
At the close of the wedding supper
the bride rose and said: 81 will now
ask my bridesmaids to wish me good
luck by ringing my marriage bell"
Each girl was then directed to take
hold of the first ribbon she could reach
and pull the bell gently seven times
In order not to bring bell, boxes and
all down on the table the pulling was
very light.
At the close of the ringing, each girl
was told to gently draw her ribbon to-
ward her, one at a time. This took the
small boxes from the shelf without
possibility of breakage
The boxes when opened were found
to contain, in addition to an odd
buckle, small card, with the date Of
the wedding, the initials of the bride
and groom and merry jingle appro-
pirate to the occasion.

The earring is still pronounced, large
pearls ard semi-precious stones being
freely worn.
Jumpers are modified into the direc-
toire waistcoat of lace or linen worn
under coats.
Corsets are high in the bust, small
and round in the waist and very long
from the waist down.
Blue comes first in fall colors, and
the dark rich tone navy will be en-
ployed in many smart gowns.
Tosca nets when embroidered in
pastel colors are very rich for entire
waists. The embroidery need not be
very elaborate.
The variation of the usual pierrot
ruff is one composed of white and
gray maline from the collar of which
spring minute tails of brown fur.
Crystal beadwork is found upon
very dressy evening frocks, but the
style is not so well received as satin
flower decorations. Persian bandings
are used under slashed waist seams.
