BOXES TO HOLD THE YARN
Attractive ReeeptaeIes for Skeln Of
Wool-Prevent Material slipping
OF Of the Lap.

To keep a large skein Of wool which
is too clumsy for wrist ball from
constantly and insistently rolling OF
the lap when in use. there are now
fashioned most attractive weighted
boxes to stand close to the arm Of the
chair or on a nearby table and hold
the ball firmly where 1t should remain.
These boxes are easily fashioned of
cretonne or silk made with a small
hole at the top for the yarn to slip
through. and given weight and solidity
by a little pillow of shot laid In the
box. A small sachet OF heliotrope and
orris powder or any favorite perfume
placed In this case will render the
yarn doubly attractive to work with.
The more attractive of the yarn
boxes have a round top with fat base.
but there are many square designs
that are also excellent. In making
such a case care must be taken to
have the inside as soft and smooth as
the outer covering. that there shall be
nothing to catch and pull the delicate
wool. China silk makes a good lining
or soft sateen can also be used.
Irvine boxes of all kinds are now
being pressed into new service as yarn
cases and they serve splendidly in
this new capacity. The perforated sill
yer Irvine boxes are especially good
for wool holders. and make an at
tractive addition to the work table.

Need of Beds for CONSERVATIVES.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
says that in seven states, Alabama,
Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma,
Wyoming and. Utah, with a combined
population of over 100000, not one
bed for consumptives has been pro-
vided. In nine states and territories,
Alaska. Delaware, Florida, Kansas,
Mississippi, South Carolina, South Da.
kota, Vermont and West Virginia, the
number of beds for consumptives in
each case is less than fifty, while the
combined population of these states is
over 100000. On the basis of 400
deaths to a million of population,
which is approximately the present
rate in the United States, there would
be nearly 5000 deaths annually from
tuberculosis in these IA states, with at
least 10000 cases of this disease all
the time, and less than 500 beds to
care for them

Catcher.
TWO GOOD ONES FROM LAST YEAR

LINCOLN, March 5.-(Speclal.)-Nebrsska
base ball stock AWAITED this afternoon when
c. Decatur, a promising pitcher, Joined the
squad for practice on the diamond. Decatur
tried out for the team two years ago when
he was ineligible. Last year he was not
in school. His return to the squad this
spring encourages the Cornhuskers to hope
that the twirling, staff will be bolstered up
considerably.
Decatur is said to be a winning pitcher.
He has a deal Of speed and several ex-
cellent curves. He was one OF the pitchers
whom the coaches had not figured would
get out for the varsity. For several years
the C%ornhusker team nave been weak In
the pitching department. but with Decatur,
Mathers, Olmstead and Storms showing up
in classy form this spring, 1t begins to
look as though the team was to be blessed
by a staff OF strong slab artists.
olmstead and Mathers are OF last seasons
twirlers and the coaches know just about
what they can do. Storms is one OF the
new men and his work is being closely
watched by the coaches. He is thought
to be THE goods" and will have a thorough
tryout.
One of the most encouraging pieces Of
work Of the week was done by Ratcliff, a
candidate for the catching Job. In the prac-
tice games on the new field Ratcliff was
permitted to catch for the varsity and did
such good work in backstopping and in
batting that the coaches are inclined to be-
lieve that he win be able to fill the position
Of catcher so well that Captain Greenslit,
the regular catcher, may take the third
sack,
The Nebraska captain does not wish to
catch II another player can be found to do
that work Ratcliff's showing this week
almost makes it certain hat he can fill the
bill. His batting was the big feature OF
his playing. He hit the ball so hard in
one of the games that he made two runs
in two times at bat. If he keeps his bat
ting eye his excellent hitting will almost
assure him a place will the team.
II Ratcliff can take the catching Job and
allow Greenslit TO go to third. only one OF
the lnfield places will be left vacant. Sec
ond base is without an occupant and the
mex few days must bring forth some man
for that sack. Several candidates are try
ing to clinch that place and the coaches
should be able to get a good player to take
the work.

ana a good many that were entirely new.
The evenings program began with sew
veral selections from the "JaytoYn Jubilee

during the whole evening. After these
came a grand parade OF an the actors In
the entertainment ending In a dumbbell
drill.
Then came tricks on the horizontal and
other bars, which simply took the breath
way from most Of the spectators and
marvellous examples of running and jump

After some tumbllng and clown stunts,
performed just to get the interest OF the
onlookers up, an imitation Farmer Burns
