In the game on the Cape Charles

Hampton Peninsula league team by

Accompanied by a fair sized crowd
of "rooters" the team left Hampton

The game started with fine pros

The pitching of Cock however was
good and had the Hampton team given
him the proper support the fans con-

On the other hand Hampton was
unable to do much with Dabney. who
engineered the balls for Cape Charles.

pitching. Dabney also lined out a

He declares that unless within

also wisely directed care in the pro-

he says, may be given through the

An Excellent Cleaning Fluid.

"The following recipe contains
nothing injurious, never takes out
the stiffness from fabrics Gas from
veilings and chiffon), and is at the
same time disinfectant and sure
preventive of moths" says
Woman's Home Companion for Feb
ruary. "Sulphuric ether, one dram;
alcohol, two drains; chloroform,
one dram; oil of cloves, one dram.
Three times this amount to one
quart best gasoline. The oil of
cloves may be omitted if desired, as
in cleaning anything white it has
tendency to turn it yellow. To
clean dress skirt, just double or
treble the amount of these ingredi-
ents. Mems trousers can be soaked
over night in this, and when press
ed are as good as new. 1t is fine for
ostrich plumes, as it never takes
the curl out. Be sure to shake out
in the air until thoroughly dry.
Old laces clean beautifully with this
fluid. Let the article to be cleaned
lie in the liquid for while, accord
ing to how soiled it is. Articles can
remain in all night without injury
to the fabric in any way. By allow
ing to settle, and pouring off very
carefully, one can use the fluid
over and over again."

- We take from our forests annu-
ally seven times as much wood per
capita as the Germans take from
their forests, and ten times as much
as the French. We lose by fire
every year buildings of the value of
$3.50, 900, 900, which is approxi-
mately one-half the total cost of the
buildings annually erected. -Four
out of five of these fires are pre-
rentable, as is shown by the fact
that in Europe, where they have
more exacting building codes and
standards of construction, the fire
losses are enormously below those
m this country. There appears to
be a very close relation between
the greater combustibility of our
houses and our excessive use OF
timber for building.

Increase of Pensions.

During the last session of Con-
gress. Hon. John G.. McHenry,
Representative in Congress for this
district called attention to the vital
defect in the service pension
law. 1t fixes too great an age for
the maximum and Mr.. McHenry
offered bill reducing the maxi.
mum from seventy-five to seventy
years. There are not many veter-
ans reach the age of seventy-6ve,
he reasoned and those who ought
to get the benefit of the maximum
rate earlier. His bill fixed it at
seventy, the second rate at sixty
five and the minimum at sixty.
Politics was more important than
pensions a year ago, however, and
Mr.. McIenry got scant encourage.
ment in his work for the veterans.
AT the present session he finds
different sentiment, however, TAX
ing advantage of the hope of success
he has introduced bill providing
for a pension of SIS month for all
soldiers and sailors of the civil war
who have attained the age of sixty
$50 a month for those who are
sixty.fve and $25 for those who
are seventy years old or upward.
He hopes to get this just measure
enacted.
Mr.. McHenry is consistent and
tireless friend of the soldiers of our
several wars. He doesn't believe
in squandering money on battle
ships which are costly toys which
become antiquated almost as soon
as they are completed. But he be-
lieves in generously taking care of
those who have served the country
at the hazard of their lives and de.
sires to see them assured of COM
forts if not luxuries as they totter
to the grave. We sincerely hope
that Mr.. McHenry will succeed in
getting his bill through. Demo

State Revenues.

Auditor General Young has esti-
mated the revenues for the next
two years at $4I, 900, 900. State
Treasurer Sheath gives an estimate
somewhat higher, and Chairman
Woodward, of the House Appro-
priations Committee, is inclined to
agree with him that the Auditor
Generals estimate is low. An ef-
fort will be made to arrive at an ac-
curate idea of what money is in
sight, including the amounts unex
pended in appropriations authoriz-
ed by the last Legislature. Then
the entire appropriations machin-
cry of the Senate and House Ap-
preparations Committees will be ad-
justed to keeping the total within
that figure, so that Governor Stu
art will be relieved of the disagree
able duty of pairing down the bills
to meet the conditions of the reve-
nues.
Because of the shortness of the
session the House Appropriate ons
Committee will begin giving hear
ings to applicants for State aid this
week. The committee has already
II9 bills and many more will be re-
ceived next week.

Legislature Must Work.
To Finish bf April 5--leaders Issue Orders
to Keep Things Moving.

The Legislature has finally put
on its working clothes and settled
down to business. The lea lers re-
alize that unless they stick to work
it will be impossible to clear the
calendars by April IA. Four weeks
of the session are already gone and
not a single bill has reached the
Governor. There are few on the
calendars that may be passed and
sent to the Governor during the
present week.
All the leaders are declaring that
the present session must be work
ing one and that more work will be
accomplished this winter than at
any previous session in a cores
ponding time. Both the Senate
and the House committees are do
ing good work. The House Ap-
propriations Committee is especial
ly energetic and has already re-
ported several bills and has them

them pla >e on the calendar,

moreland, one of the leaders of that
body and an effective worker and
debator 1t is conceded that the
bill will be reported from the Law
and Order Committee, but it is
doubtful if it will ever reach final
passage.
No final action will be taken by
the Senate or the House on the new
school code until after the joint
hearings by the two Committees on
Education. There is much opposi-
ton to the measure in its present
shape, but the Commission by
which it was prepared believes it is
the very best bill that could be
drafted and will insist on its pas
sage in its original form.
There will be a series of hearings
by the Senate and House Public
Health and Sanitation Committees
before final action is taken on the
seven pure food bills prepared by
the dairy and food division of the
State Department of Agriculture.

Making Divorce Suits Public.

Pennsylvania was one of the frs,
States to act with reference to uni.
form divorce legislation by estab-
fishing commission; it ought not
to be one of the last to legislate.
The uniform act on divorce
which is th- product of long con-
ference and consideration. socn
goes again to the Legislature. 1.
ought this year to be enacted. 1t
proposes nothing on which the
public is not agreed.
Divorce is to-day frequent for
two reasons, among others: 1t can be
secured by going from one jurisdic-
tion to another, and the suit can be
tried before master, practically
in secret. The Courts of this State
have been wiser than most on jur-
isdiction. They have made en-
trance into the State for the pur-
pose of securing divorce difficult.
But secret proceedings are easily
possible with the consent of the
fii eASS' "A NdSC Cdu DC referred TO
a master to take evidence. It can
be conducted with the least possi-
BILE publicity. The divorce decree
can be granted with none of the,
deterrent influences that come with
public knowledge.
Publicity is the salt of modern
society. 1t keeps men and women
straight. 1t prevents fraud, wrong
and other wickecness. The GER
tainty that publicity will follow de-
tiers as many men and women med
itating dubious acts as courts, Ju-
ries and Judges.
Of nothing is this more true than
divorce. If it IS to the interest of
society that divorces be diminished
as all befieve-nothing will do
more for this than the passage of
the uniform divorce bill proposed
by the commission and conference
ON the subject, which proposes to
require all such cases to be tried in
open ourt.-ReeOrd
