TROUSERS NOW MUST
FIT LIKE WALL PAPER
Day of the Peg-Leg Pants Has Waned
and Near Tights, 1t Is Predicted,
Will Become Fashionable.

Pressers are looking forward with iov
and all other men with dread to the re-
turn Of the spindIe-legsed trousers after
the long period of peg legs. II one wants
to be in fashida he must have his trou-
sers as tight as possible
The pressers get their JOY out Of the
thought that frequent pressing will be
required to keep the tight trousers in prs-
sentable appearance. Peg-Iegged trou-
sers, when well creased. would ordinarily
hold something Of the edge for nearly a
week unless caught in the rain. The new
tights however. will keep their shane
Tor about thirty minutes unless the wear
er moves cautiously. cuts the knee mo-
ton down to minimum. and sits down
as rarely as possible
The new trousers will look best when
a man is standing. and on that account
women who ride in crowded cars should
be cheerful, for it may mean a return to
the gallant old times when men let wom-
en- have the seats.
Walking in the new trousers should be
done chiefly by a hip motion. with the
least possible bending of the knees. To
look well in the trousers and suffer little
in them a man should have much length
and a minimum thickness TO his legs
One effect of neglecting to have the
trousers pressed will be to have them
climb up. As the razor edge leaves.
horizontal creases will form in the knees,
and this will give the bottom a shrunken-
up effect. Men have seen the women
struggle in their hobbies and il is now
time for the men TO hobble.

GAMBLING A SERIOUS
MENACE TO BASEBALL
If Practice Should Become Popular 1t
Would Doom National Sport
as il Did Racing.

Betting was the thing which dealt the
heavy blow to horse racing, and betting
is the greatest menace TO baseball. While
horse racing never had the popularity
that baseball enjoys it drew crowds, and
horse racing was not restricted to a small
area of territory, says the Utica OBJ
server
II betting should ever infest the base
ball grounds as it did the turf. baseball
would. be doomed. Because betting is
not carried on at the grounds is in favor
of the national game. Nevertheless,
there is evidence to indicate that the TAX
ing of various sorts of chances on the
games is on the increase. II it should
become deep seated and should put men
out of business as horse racing did, then
the lovers of baseball might have reason
for apprehension.
Under the present conditions the bet
ting seems to be of petty sort, in which
the losses, taking the individual alone,
are small. But there lies the danger.
1t is the easiest step in the world 70
pass from a small chance TO take a big
one. Harmless" gambling easily slides
into a game where IL may make all the
difference in the world whether or not
one wins OF loses. II the present-day
pools in baseball ever reach the indi-
vidual for more than his quarter, or dol
lar. then baseball will be in danger.
Horse racing took many men from their
work and caused many to put their last
dollar against a slim chance of winning:
il made thieves of many men and pro-
duced herds of defaulters. Bad as that
was no doubt the greatest loss was the
taking away of mems interest from their
proper work. a subtle sort of loss, but
enormous after all How many things
were left undone, how many Jobs were
lost, how many promotions not gained,
because of the grip Of the race. one can
rever estimate, but that they were real
and of large extent is not to be ques-
toned, II men lost large sums and If de-
faulters were produced, the army Of those
who were made inefficient by lack of con-
centration upon their work was large.
II is admitted that baseball is IN no
immediate danger, and at the worst. II
would be long time before conditions
would be such as to endanger the game.
great disasters start from
a thing as Insignificant as a match, so
it is we'll to consider the present-day
gambling in baseball.

where Pins Go To.

From AnSWefs.
For many years the world has been baf-
fed by the problem Of where the pins go
that are turned out in millions Of millions
by the pin factories. But the problem
seems to have been solved at last a
Paris scientist, DIR. Xavier, has been ex-
perimenting on pins, hairpins, and needles
by the simple process OF watching a few.
He states that they practically disappear
into thin air by changing into ferrous
oxide, a brown rust that is soon blown
away in dus An ordinary hatpin took only
l54 days to blow away. A steel nib lasted
lust fifteen months. A common pin took
eighteen months to vanish. A polished
needle defied the ravages of the atmos-
phere longest, taking two and one half
years to disappear. So the reason why
the world Is not foot deep in the pins II
buys is. It seems, exactly the same which
makes an iron surface scale off when
exposed for a long time to the atrnos-
phere without the protection of paint.

FARMER CAN PROFIT
BY SELLING FEATHERS
Large Sums Are Wasted on the Farm
by Letting Opportunity
Sin By,

Save the pennies and the dollars will
take care of themselves. This applies to
feathers. Today on the farm all feathers
are wasted; in the aggregate this amount
would be large. In communities where
one farmer would not have enough for a
shipment, a number could club together
to make the necessary amount, or the
country merchant could buy them, as he
would be-taking no risk. 1t is the wastes
and negleCts that cause failure in the
poultry or any other business and the
large concerns. Take the packers, for
instance; they make their profits from
the by-prOducts.
Looking over the feather question on
all sides, We advise: See that you get
some pin" money at least from your
feathers.
These prices are not inflated and with
out commissions. In the case of fine white
feathers, especially turkey. more might
be secured, often up to Sl.25 per pound.
The white Holland turkey, taking into
consideration the feathers, would pay bet
ter, than the bronze.
The following markOt prices on feathers
are aDDrOximatR.

The Dancing Mania.

From the Medical Times.
The dancing epidemic which the coun-
try is witnessing recalls in some respects
the dancing mania OF the middle ages.
which has been frequently discussed in
the literature of neurological medicine.
The raStime and turkey trct manias ap-
pear TO be contagious in much the same
wayfhat the medieval manias were. They
are alike also in respect to widespread
prevalence, the populations OF whole con-
tinents being affected. These neurotic
phenomena have been ascribed to wide
spread neurasthenia, due to unrest and
other pathological social conditions These
and the native determination to be
amused" that Characterizes the masses.
together with the peculiar influence OF a
type of music which seems to set IN

Interesting figures concerning the per-
