LEND A HAND-oR BOTH

Have you ever noticed what curious
effect it gives to lend your arms to
somebody else? This is not a question
of giving aims, simply of lending them
for a few moments. This is the way to
do it:
Let your friend clasp her hands be-
hind her back and then slip your arms
in through hers, so that from the front
your arms look as if they belonged to
her. If she wears shawl the effect
will be better, and unless you are very
much shorter than she you must crouch
down, so that the people won't see your
head above hers. 1t is really very
curious to see how different people look
with someone elses hands, which are
surprisingly unsuitable. Then with your
hands you can go through all sorts of
poses-clap them, shake them, pretend
to cry (that is, hold a handkerchief to
your friends eyes,, rearrange the shawl
or assume a thoughtful pose. If you
want to give a really funny perform
ance let the front person wear a long
robe to cover up the one in back, and
then let her recite some dramatic poem,
while the other makes Appropriate and
exaggerated gestures. Usually the per-
son who lends the arms will find it
more comfortable to lean on stool
instead of STOPPING.

THE CATS EXPLANATION

Why cats don't wash their faces
Before they eat, children do,
In all good Christian places?
Well, years ago. famous cat.

Had CHANGED to catch fine young mouse,
Who said, as he ceased squealng:
"Al genteel folks their faces wash
Before they think of eating"
And. wishing to be thought well bred,
Puss needed his entreatng
But when she raised her paw to wash.
Chance for escape affordlng,
The sly young mouse then said goodbye,
without respect to wording.
A feline council met that day,
And passed. in solemn meeting,
A law forbidding any cat
To wash till after eating.

ROYAL CHILDREN MUST
STUDY MANY SUBJECTS

WI HEN Princess Mary was she
w entered the royal schoolroom
" and began her education in
charge of a governess All the royal
children are brought up to speak in
French and German as we'll as English,
and by the time she was years old the
princess had become very passable
linguist Not long since at an enter
tainment at buckingham palace the
Princess Mary was complimented by
the French ambassador on the fluent
manner in which she was able to con-
verse with him in his own language.
An Early Bird
Lessons in the royal schoolroom at
Marlborough House begin at $3.50 a. IN.
in the summer and a. m. in the win
ter; there is an hours instruction be-
fore breakfast, two hours subsequently
until noon, and two hours in the after
noon. The princess has her own gov
erness and masters, but all her instruc-
tion is carried out under the superyis-
ion of Mr.. Hensell, who is in charge of
the royal schoolroom. Mr.. Hansell, be-
fore he came to Marlborough House,
had previously been a tutor at Mr..
Smiths famous school at New Barnet
and had also acted as tutor to Prince
Arthur of Connaught and Lord Dali
meny.
Visits and Exams
Special attention is given to instruct
ing the royal children in English hiSto-
ry, and part of her education in which
Princess Mary takes a special interest
consists in regular visits to the British
museum, taken in company with her
brother, to inspect original documents
of great historical Importance which
she finds mentioned in the course of her
studies. Every week a report of the
children's progress in their studies is
given to the prince and princess of
Wales, and once a month test eXamina-
tions are held in the royal schoolroom,
the results of which are shown not only
to the prince and princess of Wales, but
to the king and queen, for their majes-
ties take the keenest interest in the ed
slcation and upbringing of their grand
children.
A SportsWoman
The prince and princess of Wales, by
the way, are great believers in the
benefits to be derived from plenty of
outdoor exercise and recreation, and
the princess has been freely allowed to
develop her love of all outdoor sports.
She is very keen little sportswoman;
indeed, there are few forms of outdoor
sports and pastimes in which she has
not acquired some proficiency. She was
presented a little while ago with a
chestnut pony by the prince of Wales,
and not long since realized one of her
great ambitions when she attended for
the first time a meet of the West Nor
folk hounds at Necton.

HIS ONE MEAL A DAY

The problem whether eating or starv-
ing is best before work was solved to
his own satisfaction by the eccentric
DR.. Fordyce, a we'll known professor
of chemistry in the eighteenth century.
He studied the habits of carnivorous
animals, and came to the conclusion
that man requires but one meal day,
and so for more than twenty years his
solitary daily repast was taken at 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, when he would
present himself at Dolly's chophouse
in Paternoster row and take his seat at
the table reserved for him. On his ar
rival the cook would place pound
and half of rump steak upon the grid
iron, and while it was cooking the doe
tor would amuse himself with some
such trif1e as half a boiled capon or
a thick salmon outlet and a glass or
two of brandy. Then came the steak,
with a generous accompaniment of
bread and potatoes, the whole washed
down with quart of strong ale This
was followed by a quart of old port
and when the dinner was finished the
doctor walked to his rooms in Essex
street, Strand where he met his classes
and gave his lectures in chemistry until
late in the evening.-London Daily
Chronicle.

FIVE CARS START LIST
FOR RACE TO PHOENIX
Prospect That Auto Run Will Be
Greatest West of Rockies

The second preliminary meeting in
the interests of the Phoenix race was
held at the Hollenbeck hotel Wednes
day afternoon and more than twenty
makes of cars were represented. The
only entries, however, that have come
forward with checks for $3.50 as a
guarantee of good faith to enter the
race We're the Maxwell, Amplex, Ram
bier, Marathon and Kissel Kar.
The members of the Licensed Auto
mobile Dealers association present
stated that it would be necessary to
hold a meeting of their association to
allow members to compete in this race,
which was distinctly outlined to them
b Mr.. Billiard as an open race. AS
the business interests of Phoenix are
putting up all the money it was con-
ceded that they had the privilege of
naming the terms. Entries will be re-
ceived by John S. Mitchell at the Hol-
lenbeck at any time until October II
and it is confidently believed that there
will be in excess Of twenty-five start
ers when the race is called November

{. NJ. F. NEARLY SCORES
RECORD ON COAST RUN
Lord Company Men Make Fast
Time from San Francisco
Until Accident

A little EMF Thirty came near get
ting away with the San FranclSco-LoS
Angeles TAcord yesterday. Had the car
not met with a mishap just prior to
reaching Santa Barbara it would GER
tain1y have carried off the perpetual
Nelson cup for the run, as the occu-
pants were ahead of the schedule when
shat city was reached.
The Lord Motor Car company of Los
Angeles quietly tried to slip one over
and though the car did not win, its per-
Torrance was remarkable. 1t had been
thought that only a large car could
make the gruelling trip in record time.
Starting from San Francisco at a..
m. Wednesday, the EMF was driven
to Soledad by Charley Gene. Then
Harry Lord who had gone to that
point by train took the wheel and drove
the car to Santa Barbara. Though ne
was held up more than half hour by
repairs to a bridge and four tire pune
lures, he arrived at the Channel city
at 4 D. M, less than twenty minutes
behind a record breaking schedule. In
addition to other bad luck, front
spring was broken when the car was
three miles out from Santa Barbara.
From there the car was driven to Los
Angeles by E. A. Lord and was forced
to limp into the city, as the spring
could not be repaired en- route.
The most gratifying part of the trip
was the fact that the car averaged
thirteen miles per gallon of gasoline.
Mr.. Lord says that the roads, regard
less of reports by some tourists, are in
a wretched condition, and that the
drive to Phoenix is easy in comparison.
The EMF, however, came through in
one day, reaching Los Angeles at 10
o'clock p. m.

ON ACCOUNT OF DARKNESS

Two baseball teams which were
made up of negro players exhibited a
great contest of the national game be-
fore a large crowd on the open lots of
Twelfth and Porter streets Saturday
afternoon.
The score was to 2 in the eighth
inning. Two men were on bases, two
players out, when the pitcher of one of
the mines walloped the ball to mid
center. He sprinted around the bags
as If in pursuit of a dozen chickens.
The center fielder of the opposing
team shot the ball with terrific speed
toward the fourth station, and as the
runner was about to cross the plate
the catcher touched him with the
horsehide. The negro umpire shouted
at the top of his voice:
'De runner am safe!" and as the
word safe died away the many spec
tators began to crowd around the UNI
pire.
