Cecil County League.

The games in the county league on
Saturday afternoon resulted in favor of
Rising Sun, Elkton and North East.
This places Rising Sun in the lead with
two victories, the. other clubs having won
one game each, with the exception of Elk
Mills, which has lost both its games.
The schedule for Saturday, June II, Isl
Rising Sun at Chesapeake City; Elkton at
North East; Perryville at Elk Mills.
Rising Sun opened its new grounds,
east of town, on Saturday afternoon, with
"a victory over Chesapeake City. The
game was not called until nearly FIVE
o'clock as the visitors found the roads
heavy with mud and travel slow, not
reaching here until after four.
The newly laid out diamond was made
additional soft by the shower in the fore
noon, and as consequence was slow, a
ball stopping almost as soon as it struck
the infield.
The game itself was a well-played one,
and, after the first inning, when the home
team rolled up six runs by good stick
work, was closely contested. Efing
proved stumbling block to the Chesa-
peake City boys, who were unable to do
much with his pitching, while Watson
settled down after the bombardmenti in the
first, and kept the home batters guessing
for the remainder of the game. Ches-
apeake City was short-handed and COM
PEELED to borrow player from the home
team. England filled the gap and did
good work behind the bat The score

Simple Ginahams.

This year the girl of moderate means
has ample opportunity to look her best
at the least possible cost, for she may
indulge in frocks of cheapest bingham.
made very simply. These always are
the very best selection for summer
wear, and if they are made up with an
eye to utility as well as to line she will
find that at all times she is among the
best of well-dressed people.
The beauty of the fashion is that one
may wear the plainest sort of gowns
with a bias band of the same around
the line of the yoke and bias band to
form the belt. This makes all trimming
unnecessary. and, as the yoke itself IL
made of some tucked batiste, you will
see at a glance that the dress will be
very inexpensive. 1t is not essential
that the dress be made in one piece
neither the princess nor the empire
style. The shirtwaist suit with the belt
of the material will be very effective
for the business girl, and this is far
easier TO make than the more elaborate
one-piece frock. The wise girl will
choose several ginghams of more or less
dark color, and, if possible. each dress
will be made to open down the front,
so that when it is sent to the laundry
ft may be easily ironed.

SECOND NAVY OF THE WORLD.
0eslie's Weeklv.l


During the year 1908, and by very
narrow margin, the United States navy
maintained its right to be cfassed as
the second strongest navy in the world
second only to Great Brit6in's and
closely followed by Germany's, which
has made great strides to regain the
place it occupied in 1906. Frances ranks
fourth and Japan's fifth. Great Britain
has sixty-one first-class battleships, the
United States thirty-one, Germany
thirty-one, but with a smaller tonnage
than ours, France twenty-six and ia
pan fifteen.
The total cost of the new American
navy, built and building, has been
1914 ,904, 29S. But the cost does not cease
with the completion of the vessels. Each
year large sums are expended in keep
ing them in repair and manning them.
A huge item of expense is the cost Of
coal. The government spent S5,16S,S 24
for coal in 1908, purchasing SS6,3s9 tons,
at an average of s6.1S per ton. OF this,
61S,0S5 tons were used on navy vessels.
The battleships' cruise around the world
was very expensive
The personnel of the principal naval
powers shows that in numbers the
United States stands fourth, though if
the marine corps is included we stand
second. Great Britain has 99,319 enlist
ed men in her navy, Germany 7,296,
France 44,577, the United States 42,4OO
and Japan 1885.
