under fire. He has courage to pitch
when things are breaking against
him.
Buck Weaver is generally rated the
fielding star of the South Side COM
bination. And he is also a fairly i'm
portant member of the crew when
it comes to batting. But Buck is liable
to find difficulty busting back into
the game.
When he was forced out by sick
Isl Berger had to take up the duties
around shortstop, and there were
fears expressed as to Joe's abaility to
take care of the position. But that is
Berger's regular life. He never was
a second baseman until Rath was
dropped by the Sox last season.
The team has not suffered through
Berger's work. He can field and
throw anything he gets his hands on.
And he has batted better than was
expected. His two hits yesterday fig
ured in the scoring. His single last
Friday won the 13-inning fight with
the Browns.
Bucks only chance is for the Sox
to run into a bad losing streak. Cal
lahan, like all managers, has a super
stitious streak, and will not care to
break up a winning combination by
dragging Berger out.
Jack Fournier is proving the claims
made for him in the past. He never
was a great batter. But his boosters
pointed to the fact that he has bat
ted strongly in every league he played
in, and declared he would do the
same here is given regular duty.
Jack was put at first base and had
his chance. And he has made good
with a vengeance. Even if Chase
came back, he would not be able to
displace Fourier at present. Hal

The immense production at Niagara

artificial stone which, when bathed in

that this substance was first manufac-
tured in America by accident. through
the nietallurgical operations of T. L. Will
son, near a small stream in North Caro-
lima. While using limestone and salt IN

Stag which day by day ran nearer to the
brink of the little stream a grayish-
white substance new in his experience.
but thought little of it until one day the
molten Stag overhung the water and be-
gan to flow into it. Then suddenly
bright, white fame burst out of the
molten mass and enveloped it for some
time He drew from the dry sag some
of the strange mineral and touched
match to it, but without result. Then
he poured some water upon 1t, and at the
next trial the liberated acetylene gas
broke into flames Thus in 1852 accident
discovered a practicable way Of produc-

in England in 1896 by Edmund Day while
experimenting with potassium tratrate
and charcoal. It remained, however. for

THE FIELD STONE OVEN.
Provides Good Substitute for Camp.
fire in Wilderness.

trOm fne Snurchman.
Many bows who cannot enjoy a campfire
in the wilderness. If they only knew
about it. can have good substitute On
the home place may be an old pile of
stones gathered from some pasture. or
piece Of field stone wall now in disuse.
With these stones it is easy to build a
capital oven, on which one can cook out
Of doors.
First. lay some fiat stones, states or
something of that kind. on the ground.
Now take the heavier field stones and set
them in the shane of a horseshoe, with
the omen end pointed south. if that is the
direction from which the least wind is
rkely to come BE sure that the open
end Is narrowed to the share Of real
horseshoe-that is Is less in diameter
than the sides. This narrowing not only
protects the fire. but increases the draft
and makes a steadier burning blaze for
cooking.
Use smaller stones as the SIDES Of the
oven are built up Construct the horse
shoe to the height OF foot and half or
two feet. not higher. And don't plan to
build the first oven too large 1t con-
sunes too much fuel and does not cook so
we'll The sides of the horseshoe at the
widest Mace should not be more than pa
feet apart Now "rhin}" in with smaller
stones and daub the outside thickly with
wet sand The oven Is ready for its COW
ering II from any SCRAP iron heap some
iron slaves or bars can be found. so
much the better. Fit these across the
top and upon them place a piece Of sheet
iron The slaves make it possible for the
sheet-iron top to bear almost any weight
of cooking utensils. Over the open horse
shoe end construct gridiron of pieces
of iron.
The oven is now ready for use For a
few cents it Is possible to buy what is
called a baker. This. set on a sheet-iron
tor, will bake anything boy Is able to
maize And the top of the oven is good
for frying, boiling and stewing: the front
for broi,ing This oven costs nothing but
work. ingenuity and care. 1t is safe and
will not set fire to grass or bushes-al-
ways a yer real DANGER in dry weather
It can be depended upon on the windiest
lay and will work IN permanent camp
The stones can be found in the wilder.

Legend of the Lincoln Imp.

From the Churchman.
Have you ever heard the story Of the
..Lincoln Imp?" Listen. and l will tell
YOU about that wicked little sprite.
In the eastern part Of England there Is
a quaint old town named Lincoln, or Lin
clum, as it was called in olden days.
This town. which is hundreds Of years
old. is built on hillside. and what do
you think is on top of this hill?
beautiful cathedral! One day. a long
time ago, the devil let loose some Of the
little demons to play. One of them
thought it would be great fun to get 2to
the cathdral, and make mischief. So he
slipped away from the others and enter
ing the church he ran down the aisles
and after tearing up the prayer books,
he broke the two great candsastfcks
which were on the altar. and did ever
SO many other wicked and naughty
things. Suddenly he heard the sound OF
music! 1t was the organ playing. and
the choir singing for vespers. The music
enchanted the little devil. and he re-
manned quiet for SO long a time that he
finally was turned to stone. and there he
has stayed ever since. You may see him
to this day, perched high on one Of the
columns of the choir. This is the legend
of the Lincoln Imp"

WHAT GIRLS MAY DO.
The Visiting Helper in Growing
Demand.
BY JESSIE ROBERTS.


The chairman of the home economics
bureau of the International Child We'll
fare League has been interesting herself
and many others in the question Of meet
ing the two needs Of the young girls and
women for employment that is decently
paid and independent, and of tine woman
in the home for assistance in her often
arduous work.
Her idea Is to develop a class Of visit
ing helpers-young women who have fol-
lowed their school training by a course
in home economies or domestic science.
These girls will be available for a certain
number of hours. the pay ranging from
Is cents to 81 an hour. or higher where
expert service was given. Their stand
ing would be precisely the same as that
Of the office assistant, and their value
and capacity to earn be ruled by the
train ng and experience they had under
gone.
In suburbs this type of helper would
be simply invaluable. Each girl could
cover a certain territory, taking in
enough rL d houses to give aer e,she hours ours
a week, some every day. some for one
hour others for three or four. She
should be trained to battle and care for
young children. to serve meal to
sist in opening and clos ng houses.
There would be central registration
bureaus. as there are for the trained
nurse now. A cooperative boarding
house for such Of the young women
who did not live at home would be an
excellent thing for each community. AS
soon as the idea gets started and be-
comes an active working prorosition. IS
possibilities will grow amazingly. The
trained nurse is comparatively new in
stitntion. yet how could we get along
without her today? The trained heloer
will be the next indispensable addit on
~. law, Pc rr,f% ~
ng benefit to both employed and em-
ployer.
