per. the youthful hurler from Hacken-
sack, y. j., is scheduled to make his
first start in the large show tomorrow.
and Manager Griffith says that the lad
should make a successful debut. Ear-
pper is ailing just now from some
stomach trouble, but is expected to be
7ready by tomorrow. But for his slight
s1llness, he would have been sent to the
tgnound today.
! Danny Moeller injured his right foot

fto play right field today. The stocky
Cuban has not had much batting prac-
sics Of late, but Manager Griffith be-
dieves he can hold his own. 1t is prob
fable that Calvo will play in the two

TODAY

Laying especial emphasis upon the
point that the man he is defending had
maintained for over nine years of his
service in the army high reputation
for honor and loyalty and an excel
lent character, Lorrin Andrews, attor-
ney for W. F. Hagemann, the soldier
on trial for his life in the U, s. district
court, this morning further argued q
plea Of sef-defense in summing up
the case before the jury.
In mastery summary OF the case
for the government, Assistant u. s.
District Attorney Biting laid great
stress upon the fact that Hagemann
had not stated at the time Immediate
iy subsequent to the shooting that he
shot in self-defense. Biting pointed
out that, alter the shooting, Hage-
mann apparently showed no regret at
having killed his "bunkie." but that,
on the other hand, he spoke of the
dead man in a vindictiye way. III
Hagemann had really shot in self
defense Biting said, would he not
have been the first man to say so to
his captain when Gerkin lay dying
After the judges charge to the jury,

Perils of Hobble. Skirts

mo more hobble skirts in factories"
This decree was issued by Mrs. Sarah
II. Christopher, the fire lady as she
has come to be Known by the thousands
of girls who at her command are learn
ing to jump from their looms and sewing
machines and climb fearlessly up and
down dizzy fireesoapes, says the New
York Tribune.
you cannot tell what terrible tragedy
may be lurking behind these narrow
skirts" Mrs. Christopher told the girls.
You can't move freely in them. Even
now, when you aren't frightened and are
climbing more or less slowly, you feel
yourself caught at every step. Some day
when the smoke is pouring from the win
dows and the girls behind are pushing,
you will catch your knee in that narrow
skirt and down you will go. That will
mean untold horrors. 1t won't be your
own life only. 1t will mean the lives of
all the girls behind you, who will fall
over you, blocking the way.
Girls, this is serious. Stop and think
when you are tempted to wear an ex-
treme skirt what you would do IL there
came the call of Fret
"Of course, this applies only to the ex-
tremely narrow skirt-the freak skirt
You will learn for yourselves just how
wide skirt you can wear, for we will
have fire drills enough to test all your
clothes before the summer is over.
"As matter Of fact, the narrow skirt
Is safer than the very wide one. The full,
plated skirt is really far more dangerous,
because it catches on knobs and nails
and people behind you step on it or you
have to use both hands to hold 1t up, and
you haven't anything to hang onto the
fire escape with. The narrow skirt you
can at least pull up around your knees
and get 1t out of the way. No, forget all
that false modesty People aren't inter-
ested In your legs when lives are In dam
ger. Better leg on the fire escape than
corpse In the morgue.''
Another peril of the fashionable fac
tory worker is her pumps. Mrs. Christie
pher rails by the hour at the giddy pat
ent leather novelties that most of tho
pretty girls wear with their hobbies and
fluffy ruffles.
The other rule I'm asking the girls 10
remember is no Loose pumps, " said Mrs
Christopher. Wear shoes that are fas-
tened on you. | tell 'em. I don't care
