Fails to Stop Hitting.
WHITE HITS BALL WELL

After winning five games in a row. the
Catholic University baseball team re-
ceived a shock on the Brookland field
yesterday afternoon, going down before
Lehigh. to s.
By jamming six runs into the sixth
frame Catholic University assumed a
commanding lear. as the visitors up to
this time had been able to grab of but
a couple of markers.
Don johnson started to wabble in the
eighth and before the smoke cleared
away he had been touched for two triples
and a single. Four runs splashed over,
knotting the count.
Lehigh continued its mad batting
streak in the ninth with Trayers on the
mound. Doubles by Ready and Lees sent
over what proved to be the winning run.
Until the eighth inning johnson pitched
great ball in the face of erratic support
and the big blow of came in a most
unexpected manner.
Score i'm Sixth.
The Brooklanders confined their run
efforts to the sixth. After Tracy had
gone, White singled, Donnelly walked.
Lynch hit to right for a single, scoring
White; Cooley drew a pass. Derby was
also walked. forcing Donnelly. Smith beat
out an infield scratch. and on the blow
Cooley attempted to score, making the
plate in safety as Anderson heaved the
ball over Catcher Lees head. Derby also
scampered home on the error. Ringrose
singled, johnson lined to Anderson,
Tracy grounded to Fishburn, and Ring
rose was turned back at the plate for
the final out.
Catholic University had a chance to
score in the ninth, when White reached
third and CooleX walked. but two were
gone and Derby ignominiously struck out.

GIRLS SEEKING WORK.
\ Few Things 1t Is Well to Remem-
Der and to Underline in
Your Mind

The girl who is looking for posi-
ton is stronger in numbers than
ever about this time of the year,
and she often has to meet lot of
Encouragement before she gets a
place that suits her, be it office,
shop or private work.
There are few things it is we'll
to remember and to underline in
your mind when you go seeking
work--things that do not always
strike you as necessary, but which
have their effect in deciding the
momentous for or against in t-le
competition most seekers for new
jobs must expect,
Appearance is immensely impor-
tant. And it is an appearance OF
tractivenss that is asked for
Appearance is immensely impor-
tant. And is is an appearance OF
efficiency quite as much as of at
tractiyeness that is asked for.
See that your clothes are modish,
but not extreme.
Be sure your hat is becoming,
not loaded down with plumes,
too large or too marked
Be neat, see that your hair y
not blown about, that your linen
is spotless and your shoes polished.
1t is first impressions you must
depend on. Manners make strong
impression Be at ease, frank,
quiet. Don't sit bumped up i'll your
chair, don't be forward and pushing
anxious or depressed. Tell your pros
pectiye employer just what your
qualifications are and what you hope
to accomplish if given chance, but
be brief and to the point. Don't talk
about your home, your plans, your
needs, about anything that is not
strictly in line with the business
in hand.
Don't decry your abilities, but
don't act as though you knew it
all. Be cheerful and look pleasant.

The army worm is properly nam

If you will pardon the suggestion,
more corn. oats, wheat, feterita, SUI
dan grass etc, would be to organ
ize diHersification clubs all over the
county getting each member to
promise to cut his cotton acreage
in half. and then offer prizes for
the best specimen of each commodi-
ty raised in the county. 1t might
not be amiss to hold free street
fair, next fall, letting the members
of these clubs and others exhibit
their products grown on the farm,
including hogs. chickens, colts, etc,
and offer prizes for the best of
these. All this would encourage
additional interest in these things,
and help in the effort to reduce the
cotton acreage another year. We
would be pleased to hear from our
readers upon the subject Speak up.
Our columns are open to you. This

This does not mean religious argu-

the christian religion, but in the

the proper place to air your re-

lenge you. But let us have your
ideas along the line of proper
farming ideas, the marketing Dues
