QUINCY HERALD
FAvORS O'HERN
Believes "Old Poke" Logical
Man for President of
Three-I League.
NO FINANCIAL INTEREST
Would Give All Clubs Square Deal
Memories Regarding
Jack Tinhe.

There seems to be a concerted
movement to place Al O'Hern at the
head of the ThreeI to succeed Al
Tearney. The majority of cities
around the circuit believe "Oid Poke"
TO be the logical man for league execu-
tive. The principle objection 10 eth
er Jimmie Boyle or j. 7. Hayes is
that they are interested in Three-I
clubs. and The fear is expressed that
there would be dissatisfaction at their
regime, on grounds of favoritism. In
speaking OF the last two gentlemen,
as candidates for the Office, J. Phil Ap-
pei of the Quincy Herald says:
FINANCIALLY INTERESTED.
while both are good baseball men,
Hayes especially. neither should be
seriously considered as both are in
terested in the clubs Of their city and,
no matter how fair and impartial q
club owner may be as president, there
is bound to be trouble. Hayes would
be accused of fayoring the northern
clubs and Boyle of handing things to
the southern bunch. while if the presi-
dents own club should be mixed up
in some protest the other clubs would
claim that they got the short end.
Three-I league writer's claimed that as
long as Mike Sexton was president,
Rock Island won pennants because
Jack Tighe could do Just as he pleased
and because he had all the umpires
scared stiff, while all complaints
against Tighe went into the waste bas-
ket, Boyle's action IN the matter OF
the protested game against Quincy
proves that he IS not of the timber q
which efficient executives are made
Boyle fought as II fortune depended
on having that game thrown out and
1 that on grounds not considered In
/ baseball. II Boyle were president and
Danville were in the league, the home
club would have TO get all the close
decisions and win every game and the
/ pennant every year.
O'HERN BEST MAN.
/ IF there is going to be a change
in the league head, # is doubtful
whether better man than A
O'Hern. sporting editor OF the Dayen
port Times, could be found. He is
i held in high regard by all Of them

Evening Gown with Mummy Sleeves. the One

little thought TO ease and comfort In ChooS
ing hats and gowns We have been hob
bled at our waists and hobbled at our
feet for so long that we-women as a
whole-have become thoroughly used to
our discomfort and perhaps to revel in It.
But Paris has gone a step further than
ever before in "hobbling" poor femininity.
Paris, If you please, has created the

pies OF this latest fashion freak.
Paris has taken very kindly to the Mummy"
sleeve, perhaps because 1t is new. And It has
already been seen on New York and Washing
ton, for Mrs Taft and her daughter, Miss Helen
Taft, have both had gowns made with what
call the hobbled sleeve but which Paris calls
the "Rameses" or Mummy"
From the first picture you will be able to get
a very clear idea of the Mummy at its best
A wide piece of the material, or even a scarf
matching the under gown, is folded about the
body with the arms held against the body from
the elbows up. This can be done for an even
ing OF an afternoon costume. The vital thing
to remember is that the wearer-I might almost
say the victim-will not be able to raise her
arms after the sleeves are adjusted.
1t is just possible to shake hands, but that is
all Yet have seen some graceful effects after
all and in spite OF the hobblng.
In the second picture the whole figure is
mummihed. The under robe is a delightful
rose creme. Over this the Rameses sleeves are
arranged. The fabric used is transparent sill
yer chiffon. These sleeves, you know, are ar.
ranged every time the gown is worn, Just as
the Rajah Turban has to be.
After the body is swathed and the sleeves
formed, the scarf ends are brought to the front
and then wound around the figure from the
waist almost to the ankles This lower hob
bling is done with a single plain width of the
chiffon. One end is brought up to the hip on
the left side and folded over or loosely knotted,
then hangs free.
Frankly. l think that If this tad becomes a
fashion we are going to develop band of liv

But Paris has some other things that are just

satisfactory to wear. In the third picture you

another smart little costume of kind that will

that are faced with a contrasting color The
sleeves are very smart, and are placed almost at

TELEPHONES OF THE WORLD
Them Are Found In America
Europe Is Backward.

OF 100000 telephones in the world,
100000 are in America, 100000 in
Europe and the other 100000 are scat
tered over the remainder of the plan
cts surface. Commenting on these
recent estimates and their probable
correctness, the National Telephone
Journal of London says:
The reason why Europe cuts SO
poor figure in comparison with Amer
lea is that four or five of the most
civilized and populous countries are
extraordinarily backward in telephon-
ic development. France, Austria, Hun
gary, Belgium, Holland and ltaly-in
the first four of which the telephone
is entirely in the hands of the govern
ment-may be instanced. In the whole
of France there are less than 100000
stations, and in Austria and Hungary
combined there are actually fewer
telephones than in the city Of Chi
cago
Ancient cities of universal renown,
counting 100000 or 100000 inhabi-
tants, and moreover of greater COM
mercial Importance. such as Lyons,
Marseilles, Naples, Antwerp and
Prague, are far behind American
towns with $4,000 to 100000 inhabi-
tants, such as Peoria, st. Joseph, Day
ton and Norfolk, Va, which few Eu-
ropeans have ever, heard of; while
Vienna, with population of nearly q
100000, has not SO many stations as
San Francisco, with 100000 souls. If
the countries of central and western
Europe were as we'll developed tele-
phonicaliy as even Great Britain and
Germany, to say nothing of Scandina-
via, the comparison with America
would be vastly more flattering"

The chatting dish is the never fall
ing resort cor the hot dish for an eve
ming supper. and everything else may
be prepared beforehand, unless one
likes to make the salad and dressing
at the table The materials may be
all ready and the process OF blending
them and the making of French dress
ing is usually form of entertainment
enjoyed by both men and women. In
fact, many men are especially clever
at and enjoy making salads.
The sandwiches may be prepared by
cutting a slice from each end of the
loaf and then cut off the side crusts
and bottom and top; now slice the
bread lengthwise in five or six slices
of uniform thickness, spread with
creamed butter and put together in
the form of the original loaf Wrap in
dampened cloth and place under a
weight until the time for serving, then
the loaf may be cut in slices, and in
halves crosswise Arrange on dolly
covered plate to serve
A most delicious salad dressing is
creamed butter well blended with two
canned red peppers pounded to a
paste. Another nice sandwich to
serve with cold roast lamb. Finely
chopped mint mixed with creamed
butter makes another appetizing sand
wich.
Eggs a la creoie.-This is a tish
very popular with the men; Chop two
or three tablespoonfuls of dried beef
freed from the skin and fat, add cup
full of tomatoes, fourth of a cupful
of milk, grated cheese, a dash OF Gin
namon and cayenne and few drops
of onion juice. Melt two tablespoon
fuls of butter, add the mixture, and
when well heated add four eggs slight
~ beaten. Cook until of a creamy con
slstency. stirring constantly, and

meat. Cut six medium sized potatoes
in slices, sprinkle with salt and pep
per; add a cup Of chopped celery and
a tablespoonful of finely minced pars
ley. Mix together two tablespoonful
of vinegar and four of oil and slice
OF lemon; bring to the boiling point
