1t makes much difference one way or
the other. pennant wise, but Marty
O'Toole and Catcher Billy Kelly, that
pair of high priced ball players who
lately pitched their tent in the Pir-
ate camp are both badly bungled up.
While OToole may pitch against
Boston today, according to a wild
guess, he said this morning the sore
ness in his right shoulder is still
huntin.' Kelly has banged finger

fort toward second place. The bean

If present plans do not miscarry,
four Ohio State League PLAYERS will
be seen wearing the uniform of the
San Antonio club in the Texas Lea
que next season.
The president of that club, Mr..
Block, has already secured the SER
vices of Eddie Meehan, of the Marion
team. This was done sunday at Chill
licothe when Mr.. Block learned that
the Marion club was back in its pay
with the players. Block paid Meehan
all Of his back pay and secured his
signature to contract. 1t Is now
said that players McGraynor and
Kelley of Chillicothe and Coligan, of
Marion will be secured by Block who
is being advised by Billy Doyle. -

Perhaps Meehan considers himself a
free agent although nothing has been

his case.
Columbus, o., Sept. 20-As surmised,

Schoenborn knew nothing of IL and
Secretary Quinn now In Minneapolis,
asserts he hast made any sort of any
overture.
There Is good deal of talk going
on as to the future of the Central,
and the main point of 1t all just now
seems to be that Newark won't be in
the circuit next year. That excellent
support by Newark people must have
been put temporary.
The Chillicothe Amusement company
will sign no manager for next sea-
son until report has been made to
the stockholders and the future of
the league is decided upon. President
-Siberell is also determined that he
cannot give up another year to base
ball and it will take some effort to
re-enlist him. Opinion is divided as
to who should be the manager. There
are several candidates including
" rigley, Reilly and Charley Riehl
and all have their friends. s.-Chilllcothe

MAKE THESE TESTS
BEFORE BUYING G

To Test Silk-First-Take a small sam
pie and boil it in a per cent solution
of caustic potash for fifteen minutes.
The silk will be destroyed and the re-
mains will be cotton.
Second-Take another sample. fringe il
as directed below and immerse it in
strong hydrochloric or sulphuric acid.
Silk dissClves in two to five minutes, but
ii ii contains wool, the wool will re-
main unaffected.
Test for Linens-Immerse fringed
sample in oil Of vitriol for one and one
half to two minutes. Then take it out
and wash il well. If the sample is gen
uine linen it will not be affected by this
treatment. but If it is largely cotton the
sample will be almost entirely destroyed.
The Test for Woolens-Apply the oil of
vitrioI test as above. This will destroy
the cotton. but the wool will hardly be
affected. Another test is to mOisten a
fringed sample with 30 per cent nitric
acid Wool turns yellow. but cotton does
not.
To Fringe a Sample-Remove both
warp and weft threads about an inch
and test the threads.

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE?

Rest. What place for a little girl
of five years old to rest at 10 o'clock
in the evening!
The film first shown was that of the
Night Riders. When the masked men
bound a victim to tree and lashed
him into insensibility took the little
girls hand in mine and felt its con-
vulsive quivering. The vivid pictures
of the horror set my own pulse leap
ing, and tore at my own strong nerves
until they were on ragged edge

bed many hours back after a long day
of basking in the sunshine and delv-

MALINE EFFECTIVE
WITHEVENING GOWN

There is nothing more effective and be-
coming than a soft drapery Of mallne
worn with an evening gown.
Three or four yards OF this flmy
material may easily be utilized, it being
usually draped on the bodice, down the
back length OF the gown, and with a
long end wrapped around the arm.
The color used is nearly always white,
although a flesh tint is becoming. and IN
many cases black will be most effective.
A fresh length of tulle will probably be
necessary at every wearing.
It is surprising to see how many smart
women are wearing tailored hats with
evening gowns. when dining at public
restaurants. Plume-trimmed headgear
probably becomes sometimes tiresome.
and aigrettes have been a welcome sub
Stitute.
1t seems, however, rather incongruous
to wear a toque of straw OF satin
trimmed with aigrettes or paradise with
low neck gown.

A great variety of table favors and

this particular display will add a dis
tinctive charm to any social function.
Embroidered initials are specially de-
sirable for sewing on mems shirt sleeves,
as they impart individuality to the wear
er. as well as affording certain amount
of insurance against loss in laundering.
They are shown, surrounded by circles,

cents each or 30 cents dozen.
Many beautiful vases are shown in an
F street shop TO meet the demand of the
Easter flowers. They range in price
from . cents to $3.50.
Dainty breakfast caps of lace and sheer
swiss and dotted swiss, trimmed with
bands of ribbon with rosette. bow and

One of the best and cleverest may
onnaise mixers l have ever seen has the

them up by turning the handle, the oil
flows into the mixture, drop by drop.

hollow filtering cylinder completely closed
at one end and the other end fitted into
a metal head piece. The tiltering me-
dunn is a kind of infusorial earth which
is mined in Germany, whose properties
and microscopic construction are said to
render it peculiarly suitable for the pur-
pose of filtration. When the water be-
gins to run slowly the cylinder can be
easily removed and cleaned under a
running faucet. and every month it
should be sterilized by boiling it for an
hour, thus making it completely germ

LIGHTEN THE FROCK
WITHDAINTY YFRILLS

The girl who likes to tighten a dark
costume with dainty frilLS should make
herself one of the sets OF rounding Dutch
collars and cuffs in plated lawn.
The frils are made of fine white lawn
or dotted muslin and are cut three and a
half inches wide for the collar and two
inches for the cuffs.
Mark the edge with tiny ScallOp with
spool of 200 cotton and huttonhOIe in
white or colored mercerized cotton in a
shallow line.
When finished sew into eighth OF an
inch side plaits and sew into narrow band
the right length TO fit around wrist and
neck. The frill falls softly from the band
or in the sleeves may he inverted and
turned back. being caught at one side
with lace pin.
Instead of arranging in plaits- which
are hard to iron, the frlls may be run
in thread tucks to give the fullneSs. This
model is good for high turnover effects
and for the Dutch collar. For the latter
the strip should be made narrower at the
ends than in the midoIe.

Send Your Solution Along

With but one more day left in which
to find the flowers of the woods and

Those who have sent in their solutions
have been calling me all morning to the
phone to tell me they wished they
hadn't
And those who haven't sent them in
, declare they wish they had
So there you are.
The ones who submitted their answer

regretted not holding on bit, and work
ing a little longer.
Those who. on the other hand, art
holding on to the last moment feel sure
that they are fussing and fuming use
lessly.
There are at least fifteen flowers that
might answer one number of the puzzle,
one contestant told me this morning. say
ing that she had changed this number
as many times, and, after all, the first
conclusion at which she arrived in the
matter was as likely TO be correct as
the last.
The trouble all seems to be in start
, ing the thing out wrong" wrote man
; with his solution. You never get any
where when you start wrong. and no
one on earth could ever get number one
right"
Another number that has created much
comment is number nineteen-"Some-
thing We all hope to have
Now who can say what that is?''
Queried one puzzler. For we all are not
hankering after the same thing he de-
clared
This number has given evidence of the
tremendous difference between the mas
culine and feminine viewpoint as has
done no other number of the puzzle.
Almos- invariably the masculine con-
testant has said that the Something we
all hope to have" is Money Wort
The women declare il to be Hearts
Ease"
The diversity OF opinion upon this sub
ject would furnish an Interesting record.
We're there space for the publication of
every answer that has come to me.
All the comment has been pleasant and
good natured. Contestants continue to
express pleasure in finding the flowers,
in spite of the difficulties which the puz-
zle presents. and the great number of
answers coming in with every mail seems
TO prove the sincerity of these assur-
ances.
No answer received after u o'clock to-
moron will be in the running as far
as the prizes go. 50 just make up your
mind that the way in which you have
solved the puzzle is about as nearly right
as any one else has gotten it. and send
