Divide the attic or storeroom into
sections, placing trunks and various
articles to the best advantage. For
instance, If you have certain pieces OF
furniture which are really good and
are worth preserving and which you
hope some day TO have done over
and mended. arrange the larger pieces
against the wall. the smaller ones
stacked up in front SO that they will
be easy OF access when they are
needed.
Those pieces which are upholstered
should be carefully brushed before
they are taken to the attic, and then
the upholstery should be literally
sprinkled with camphor balls, protect.
ed with several layers Of paper and
covered over with muslin.
The other wall space can be utilized
for trunks-those which are empty and
are held In readiness for journey be-
ing more conveniently situated. others
which are only used for packing away
clothing once or twice year being
placed in the rear. The upper wall
spaces should be used for shelves to
hold boxes.

CONGRESS CLEARS DESKS
FOR ARMY-NAVY FIGHT

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 2s.-
When congress today took recess
over the holidays. It had progressed
well along the line toward disposition
of at least two of its appropriation
measures. The District of Columbia
appropriations have already been
passed, and the legislative measure
is about ready to go to the senate.
House members today were primed
for the fight anticipated on the army
and navy appropriations. This should
be in full blast soon after the legis-
lators return for work on January 4.
All indications today pointed to the
bitterest contest of the short session,
although administration supporters

much argument from the Republican
side and from militaristic members

FOOD AND CLOTHING
WANTED, NOT TOYS
(By Alice Rohc.)

ROME, Dec. 23.--When the good

children Of free and neutral America
TO the children of warning Europe
arrived at Genoa, it brought some
thing unlocked for an unsuspected.
The Jason's cargo of playthings stir

There y open criticism here that SO
much Tronay should have been spent
in sending toys when food and warm
clothing are needed and supplies are
Lacking in the light to save the

Mssa Evelyn S. Falkner, minent
here through her philanthropies, and
who heads the local Servian relief So

sister workers in the cause of hu-
nianity,
The sending of that great ship
laden with toys is quite in keeping
with Marie Antoinette's suggestion
that the starving Parisians who ask
I'd for bread be given cake" said
Miss Falkner.
"The motives which prompted the
children of America to send some ex-
pressions of Christmas cheer to the
children of Europe's war-ridden coun-
tries were high and humane. But the
American boys and girls are not to
blame. 1t was the misguiding spirit
Of their elders which turned the gen

such useless channels. What mock
sentimentality could inspire people to

death, hunger, sorrow and sickness
are the guests who have replaced fa-
Tiers, husbands, sons and brothers!"

REVIEW
BY HAL SHERIDAN

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Little BEN
ny Kauff, diminutive in size bhf great
in power and ability, stood out among
the batters and base funners<sn the
Federal league last year even bright
er than the famous Tyrus has ap-
peared in American league surround
ings for the past several seasons.
Kauff was the king bee in the Gil
more circuit with vengeance. Not
only did he show the way with his
bludgeon, with which he dubbed out
210 hits, twenty-seven more than his
nearest competitor, but he finished
way out ahead in the stolen base col
umn. He pilfred seventy-five sacks
in the 154 games he took part in.
Kauff's hitting was of the real
kind, too-long distance stuff, He
slammed out forty-five binFles that
were good for two sacks each. Two
base wallops seemed TO be young Mr.
Kauff's favorite kind of fruit for in
getting triples and homers several
others passed him. Aleck Zwilling, of
Joe Tinker's Chifeds, who is some
times known as Dutch" had a pen
chant for home runs. The roly-poly
outfelder hung up sixteen home runs
during the season, which was the
leagues best record. Bill Kenwor-
thy, of Kansas City, crowded him for
the honors by humping out fifteen.
Kauff showed his class in another
division, also. In getting runs he
had it on the flock of athletes who
make up the Federal league roster.
Benny chalked up 11s tallies during
the season. Bill McKechnie, a team
mate of Kauff's and n former Yam
kee and Pirate, was second and was
the only other player in the league
who had more than one hundred runs
to his credit. McKechnie also finish
ed second in the base-swiping game,
getting fifty-two.
indianapolis probably viii let Kauff
name his own figures for his salary
during the coming season. Several
managers in organized ball have been
after him after seeing his work in
the Fed circuit. McGraw, of the
Giants, is declared to be particularly
sweet on the youngster.

THE HORSES ON PASTURE.

The men need the Sunday day Of
rest and the horses need it, declares
The Breeders Gazette, Chicago. What
comfort the tired horses take in the
green pastures on Sunday, nibbling
the sweet grass, resting in the shade
of some spreading tree, playing idly
with one another, or resting, half -doz-
ing, in the sun! There is great vir-
tue in the pasture. There is some
property about green grass and the
herbs that horses find in pastures that
tones them up and keeps them in
health. The pasture is good for the
body Of the horse and its rest is
good for his mentality. Sometimes
we forget that horses have brains,
and are capable Of emotions. II is
an assumed responsibility when
teamster take5 horses under his care,
imprisons them and causes them to
labor hard for his service. One day
in seven is rightly their due, and
they ought to spend that day in the
horses heaven on earth-the green
pasture, with the shade Of trees and
pure water.

FORT COLLINS, Colo, Dec. 23.-
The rapid decrease in income from
the endowment funds of the Colorado
Agricultural college engaged the at
tention of the state board of agricul-

When the federal government gave
the agricultural college 10000 acres
for an endowment the state accepted
the gift with all due formality but
1t did not provide, through the legis
lature for the method of taking care
OF these lands. They have therefore
been out of the hands of the state
land department where the state
board of agriculture has nothing to
do with their sale, leasing, handling
or development.
AT one time the college was draw
ing $4,000 per annum from rentals,
interest and other funds, but it is not
drawing more than half of that now.
The records of the college and the
books of the state board of agricul-
ture indicate that large sums have
been lost to the college through fail
ure to collect rents and complete
