Boys, here's the chance of your life.
Play polo this summer on roller skates
and be up to the minute in sports.
No doubt all Of you were excited over
the recent international polo match
at MeadOwbr brook, n. Y, and threw
your caps high in the air when our
team licked the British players, but we
didn't lick them hard, for the score,
you remember, was AZ to 41z in the
Americans favor. 1t was a peachy
game from our standpoint.
Well, a sport loving New York boy
has organized two teams, who oppose
each other in what he calls ''roller
skate polo"
For the field he uses an old tennis
court. At each end are the goal posts,
twenty-four feet apart. Hard rubber
balls of medium size and mallets are
used, the latter in sizes to suit the in
dividual players. Each man is mount
ed on ball bearing roller skates.
When the timers give the signal for
the commencement of the game the
teams line up to the opposite sides of
mark drawn across the field, the ref
cree throws the ball and the match is
on. The object of each team is to drive
the ball between or over the goal posts
defended by the opposing team.
A goal counts one. When a ball
crosses d side line it is out of bounds.
Should a ball cross an end line it is
also out of bounds, and the side de
Tending the goal is entitled to a knock
in, the ball being placed on the line
at the point where it crossed, but in nc
case nearer to the goal posts than ten
feet
Now. boys, go in and win.

Daredevil PhotoaraphY.

A naval photographer gets many
duckings and. after time, takes them
as a matter of course. Being thrown
into the sea isn't considered by him
at all a serious event. 1t is during
battleship practice that he encounters
grave dangers. for much Of the work
done at this time is from the tops of
the fighting masts, which are at an
elevation Of 12O feet above the sea.
During different practices have taken
my position in these masts in order to
get detailed pictures. Once in these
basket-like tops the question is how to
stick" The gunfire photographs it
self. 1 suppose you wonder what
mean, but it is just this: Every time
the big twelve inch guns fire the aw-
full conclusion they cause invariably
gives the snap to the shutter of the
camera. and the exposure is made

rho panneroua Golf BAH.

Do not cut open a golf ball. The In
significant golf BAH has caused many
serious accidents. Cutting open golf
balls that contain what is incorrectly
called a water core" is dangerous.
In most cases this core consists of a
rubber bag filed with various heavy
fluids, such as hydrochloric acid. solu-
ton of zinc chloride, caustic soda and
other dangerous chemicals. Ribbon or
Irvine is wound round the core by ma
chinery, and in the process the con-
tents of the bag are subjected to such
heavy pressure that when a ball
bursts or is cut open the fluid is likely
to fly into the faces of persons near by
and so disfgure and even blind them.

Mllady's
Mirror



Many girl whose beauty is married
by a slight facial defect gives herself
up to despair or to the firm conviction
that nothing will help or relieve her
affiiction. She generally proceeds to
render herself less attractive by worry
ing or fretting and marring her ex-
preston.
If the cheek bones are too high, do
not strain the hair back from the face
and accentuate this defect. Wear a
broad couture with the hair f1uffed out
near the ears. The hat should always
give the effect of a background and
frame combined, and the softly waved
hair will detract attention from the
high cheek bones. Cheek bones that
are set high in the face give an I'M
pleasant impression. They make wo-
man look less gentle and less feminine
and youthful.
There is no reason why the eyes
should not be the feature to attract at
tention, and even if they are not large
or deep the eyebrows and eyelashes
can be made to enhance their charm
One cannot change the color or the
conformation. but the surrounding It's
sue, which makes much more difference
to the looks than is generally believed.
can be modified Ivy the individual,
greatly to the benefit of the eyes them
selves and to their appearance. Many
occupations carry with them the handi-
cap of eye strain. In all work requir-
ing the use of the eyes, whether with
extra eXertiOn or not, care should al
ways be taken to protect the eyes
themselves from glare and so to ar
range that the bright light shall fall di-
rectly upon the work without shadows.
To prevent and relieve an inflamma
tory condition of the eyelids it is
necessary to use some mild astringent.
The most generally useful eye wash.
which should be always on the wash
stand, is made of ten grains of boric
acid to an ounce of camphOr water
not spirits of camphor. Salt and water
give a good eye wash for the cup and
can be used several times a day. An
excellent ointment to be used upon the
eyelashes is the following:
Red vaseline ....................... ounces
Tincture OF cantharides. Y ounce
Oil OF lavender. 10 drops
OH of rosemary. 10 drops
Mix thoroughly and apply to the
lashes with a tiny toothbrush. Be
careful not to get this into the eyes, as
the oils will inflame them.

Where the Feet Perspire ProfuseIy.

This is a very great cause of cOrnS
and general pains in the feet. and the
cure is so simple that it is neglected.
Frequent bathing in cold water, with
gentle massage. will do more toward
helping this trouble than almost any
thing, yet few but fill their perspiring
feet win some sort of powder, which
clogs the pores and in the end makes
matters worse. A good formula is to
mix one ounce powdered alum with
two of salt and one of bOrax. Put half
tablespoonful of this in a foot tub of
tepid water at night and battle the
feet we'll Keep a little jar Of mutton
tallow that has been melted and a
teaspoOnful of witch hazel added to an
ounce. When the feet have been thor
oughly soaked in the bath wipe and
rub in this pOmade: then bind them
with antiseptic gauze, because the
grease will spoil the bedclothing. Do
this night and morning and there viii
be great relief. the gauze preventing
the hose getting greasy during the
day.
Another way is to battle with salicyl-
ic soap every night. Dry well and wipe
with a lotion made Of an ounce OF
glycerin with three Of perchlOride Of
iron and add ten drops essence berga-
mot. Be sure that every part is
touched, between the toes especially.
Then powder with a mixture Of TWEEN
ty-f1ve grams Of violet talcum, ~
grams powdered starch, 213 burnt alum
and gram Of powdered salicylic acid.
Change the hose every day, wearing
the thin cotton that can be rubbed out
after being worn once. Have two or
three pairs of shoes and change every
day. 1t is the old. partly dried perspi-
ration remaining in hose and shoes that
hurts the feet. causes them to swell and

In arithmetic. I've got as far as Coz
