King Nicholas and Balkan
Hickey Are Two Of Latest
Coolers for the Hot Months,
Without Mentioning the
Scutari Punch.

1t seems that in spite of the ''antis.'
the curriculum of the College Of Cool
ing Drinks has broadened out this sum
rner In difference to the Balkan wa
and the nearing completion of the Pan
anna Canal, many new names have ap
peared, and in many cases the new
names have been attached to really new
drinks.
Three men entered a cafe on the frs
warm day, hopping their perspirlnt
hrows with handkerchiefs which refused
to absorb any more moisture. The fore
most leaned Imply on the bar and rar
his forehnger around the inside of hi!
wiited collar. He glanced languidly VI
and down at the long row of gin rickeys
and the refreshed countenances of tht
men who were drinking them, turned &c
his friends and asked, What will you
have?'
I'll take a Panama swizzle," said one
blinking frantically as bead of per

Let me have a Balkan rickey." de-
manded the other, and he added long
drawn 'Whew!
"A Panama swizsle. a Balkan rickey
and mix me up a King Nicholas" order
ed the first fashion-setter. turning to the
man behind the bar.
The gin rickey devotees looked up
from their glasses in surprise at the
strange and almost barbaric order. But
the barman didn't even bat an eye. He
merely mixed the drinks and set them
before the three thirst-ridden men. The
rest waited in suspense. while they drank
the strange connections, and then order
ed some themselves just to try them.
and pronounced them good. They were
in exactly the same position as a woman
wearing a plain hobble skirt who sees 4
slash for the first time. And now the
new drinks are rapidly becoming the
rage.
Balkan Influence Felt.
Just as the colors of the Balkan allies
have been applied TO this years modes
in gowns. so their names and liquors
have invaded the realm of summer bev-
erages. Besides the Balkan rickey and
the King Nicholas, there are the Scutari
punch, the Bulgarian appetizer, the Bel
grade cooler, and the Now bazaar. The
Balkan influence is felt throughout. One
does hope, however. that when a heat
oppressed man falters into a cafe the
bartender will not lean over and ask,
What can / Servia?' And we are more
than fortunate in having thus far es-i
capped the rye highbalkan.

An Extra Mother,


From the Le On de Pars
A pleasant adventure, one that is usu-
ally reserved to much younger daughters
has happened to Mile. Mistinguette. Of
the opera She has been reclaimed as a
long lost daughter by a woman OF Ber-
gerolles, whose daughter disappeared six
teen years ago. and whom she afirms
she recognizes in the distinguished artist.
Nile. Mistinguette has a good heart. She
would like nothing better than to recog-
nize the maternity of this honorable
dame, but unfortunately she already has
an authentic mother. and at this time Of
life cannot accept the luxury of q sup

drink to be made at home. You can get
every good Now bazaars in cafes and
restaurants, however, for they do not
require so much time as the Scutari
punches. They are simpler and are more
likely to be successful than the others
Perhaps they are not quite so rich. but
they are assuredIy just as cooling, and
that, after all. is the main thing.
Put into a large tumbler a liqueur
glass of curacao and half tablespoon
full of powdered sugar: fill it half way
up with shaved ice and shake IT well;
then add one wine glass of champagne
and fill Il up with syphon, adding a slice
of pineapple.
So much for the new Balkan cooling
beverages to be drunk during the day
or evening. But suppose you have been
downtown all day, where the glaring
streets throw back the light like rivers
of molten tin, and every time you step
out you gasp in the swimming waves OF
the clinging heat. you don't feel a bit
like an ordinary cocktail when evening
comes. You want an appetizer, but you
want it as cooling as possible.
That want has been supplied by the
new Balkan appetizer. Its effect on the
appetite cannot be denied, and it is just
rs refreshing as the King NIcnoIas or
any punch you ever tasted. The beauty
of il is that it can easily be made a:
home, if you dine en- famille, or you can
set it at your favorite restaurant. We
will give the recipe carefully, so that
If you care to make it yourself you may.
Use a large tumbler. Half fill It with
shaved ice: add thirty drops OF gum
syrup. eight drops of Angostura bitters,
half wine glass of English gin. half a
wine glass each of French and Italian
vermouth.- and one liqueur glass of alb
sinthe. Shake II well and strain. Put
a small piece of lemon peel on top and
serve. You see,' it is something on the
order of the King Nicholas, but It is a
better appetizer.
The Culebra Punch.
There is a summer drink which the ap-
preaching opening OF the Panama Canal
has given US that should not be forgot
ten. 1t savors of the tropics and the
Spanish Main. 1t is just as good in tor
rid Washington as in Colon or Ancon.
and is called a Culebra punch. Any one
not too rabidly IN favor of a water-Ievel
canal should find it a friend in need dur
ing the simmering month OF July.
Put into large glass one tablespoonful
of raspberry strip, one tablespoonful of
powdered sugar; add a wine glass of
water, one wine glass and a half OF
brandy and half wine glass of guava
jelly. Chat is what gives You the
glimpse of the West Indies and watts
the scent of hibiscus TO your nostrils).
Then put in the juice of half a lemon,
two slices of orange, and a slice Of pine
apple. Ice and shake well; dress with
any berries you like and serve with a
straw.

COMMISSIONERS COURT
ROAD MEETING

Arrangements are being made for
the entertainment of the County Road
Supervisors who have been informed
by Couny Clerk W. S. Higgs that the
Commissioners Court requested that
they meet with that body on February
10 and bring with them all the friends
and neighbors they can induce to
come.
The object of the court is not to
dictate what is to be done, but to get
the views of the citizenship of Brazos
County as to what they think ought
to be done.
1t is hoped that each and every citi-
zen will give his personal views of the
road question, and from general dis
cussion County Judge Maloney hopes
that concerted action can be obtained
and uniform methods of road building
and maintaining can be put in use
J throughout the county.
Judge Maloney approves of expires
sions from the citizens of the county
through The Eagle, and desires that
everybody take an active interest II

or community where the quality OF
work does not come up to the stand
ards specified. All plans, specifica-
lions, and materials should be passed
on and approved by the Federal de-
partment. Beyond this, l think that
the work of laying out and building
the roads can best be done by the
State department. This will have the
added good effect of encouraging the
organization of an efficient highway
department in every State.
"In addition to details already set
forth, would suggest that no State
should be entitled to Federal aid un-
til It has organized a competent State
highway department. Initiative for the
Improvement of any road should then
come from the people of the State
through its State highway department.
The State department would make APP
proximate surveys and estimates OF
cost and determine the portion to be
borne by the Federal Government.
They would then apply for an appro-
priation for said improvements. Should
the Federal department be able to
comply with the request of the State,
the State highway department would
then make detailed survey, prepare
complete plans and specifications for
the work and submit these to the Fed
eral Government. If these are found
satisfactory to the Federal depart
ment, the work would be advertised
and let in the usual way, and the Fed
eral Government could pay its pro
portion of the expense to the State
Government upon receiving satisfac
tory evidence that the State had pait
its part"

BOWMAN LEADING
 MECHANICS AT BAT IN FIRST WEEK

Buster Bowman, the Texas steer, is leading the procession of Bridgeport batters this morning. The Mechanics second baseman is toddling along with the fat average of 1882. Harvey Rus sell, who is having a great year with the ash, is second with 1850, and Joe Phillips, the Binghamton battler, is third with 333 Capt McGamwell didn't make a hit in the first two games but he gathered three in the Last two. The poor start keeps his figure down to .187.
 Bob Stow, Eddie Burns and Jake Boultes are. all hitting that ball i.25O or over. Lefty Lied has been pelting 'em right at the fe1ders and has coli Iected only one safety. Six of the eight regulars are clouting over .250, which is very encouraging. The aver ages including yesterdays game:

TESRAEU OF GIANTS.
 GETTING POOR START

Baseball is full of upsets, as the rec ords show. Prior Ito the opening of the season fans confidently expected that Big Jeff Tesreau of the Giants would start right off the reel and pile up a string of consecutive victories Instead McGraw,s mammoth spitball- CT dropped. the opener to the Boston Braves, being driven from the slab while dropping it, and then, on his first appearance in a relief role, al! lows the opposition to come from be. hind and win out.
 Tesreau undoubtedly will win a great number of games for the Me Grawites this year, and possibly may surpass his 1912 record There is one record lie made in 1912, however, that he canunot possibly equal, even though the season is still in it's infancy. That record relates to home runs. Last year only one National League player made homer off Big Jeff, who work ed in 243 innings, equivalent to twen- ty-seven complete games Ons Tesreau's first two appearances on the slab this season. he labored for just seven stanzas, and in that time was located for two four-baggers. John Titus was the lone National Leaguer who clouted for the, circuit off Tesreau last season, the present Bostonian, then Phillie, making his four-bagger tn the game played on May 2.
 The players who po1ed homers off Tesreau this year were Bill Rariden, who used to be R1be s Marquard's 6 backstop when the tall port-sider was with Canton. and J. Carlisle Smith, who started the season in sad fashion, since Tom Seaton whiffed him thrice. Despite the fact that Tesreau has had two home runs made off him in less than one full game. he undoubtedly will remain on the Giants, payroll all season long. and will receive the con- sideration Of the jury of experts serv- ing on the award for the National Leagues best player.

WINNING STREAK
 OF NEW LONDON STOPPED BY LOCALS
(By wagna.)

There was a great struggle yester% day by the Mechanics to see if they could fill the error column faster than the hit department. The batting sec4 ton finally won out but the errorR were pretty close at the finish and the 1000 fans at Newheld park were doing flip Hops for fear the home boya would toss away the contest. Simon Legree McCann held the whip on his slaves and they finally threw New London by to 6. It was the first game the chesty Planters have lost this season.
 Here's one for the book, too. There were two balks made in this game and if you attend all the games for the rest of the season You probably will never see that happen again. Blum made one in the seventh and Reiger pulled the other for New London in the same inning with Chief Snyder on first. About every other kind of @ misplay was exhibited, including a. wild pitch by Reiger, which allowed Promo Silzer to scamper across the pan in the eighth. The cratic field ing and heavy batting made the con- test Interesting, for the hero of one inning was the villain of the next.
 Capt. Ed McGanWeII Wrenched his knee in Springfield Saturday and had to sit on the bench yesterday. This
  ger to the outdeld. Burns did we'll considering it was a strange position. Blum got away to a bad start when he made wild throw in the first and gave the Planters two runs but he steadied after that and held the ene-t my until the sixth. When tlTe, bonn bardment was continued in the seventh, Manager McCann put soap on the sl<ids and Blum went out. Rube Sager worked the last two innings and held the visitors to one hit and no runs. Blum was very poor in field ing his position.
 It looked bad for the locals after New London got those three tallies in the first Kunkel, the boy who held Hartford hftIess fin the opening game, was Ringing and he kept the Me chanics scoreIess until the fourth when Stow and Russell worked a dou- ble steal, Stow scoring. Joe Phillips timely single tied the score in the fifth and a package of five hits and four runs drove Kunkel to cover in eil0 sixth. Refger finished the game and yielded one run. The Planters went afters Blum in the sixth and seventh getting the score up to to 6 but tho works closed after Sager went on the marble.
 Bob Stow. nelded brilliantly, stole two bases and made two hits BoulEes, Bowman and Russell also delivered two safe blows eacn. The fielding masterpiece was contributedl By Stow in the fifth. With NeaIon on first sOs- trich shot 8 liner toward left center Stow went up after it and made the catch with one hand. He whiried the ball to first and doubled the astonish- ed Nealon. The crowd gave Stow 8 warm reception for that one. Ina score:
