WESTINGHOUSE COLD
BY JONATHAN WINFIELD

Washinton, Jan 24.-Miss Mari
"Ahnighto" Peary, daughter of AID
miral Peary the North Pole discover
er, declares she has felt colder RICH
here in Washington than ever sh'
did in the land of perpetual snow ant
ice. The reason, Miss Peary explains
is because the temptation to veal
pumps and silk stockings in The
winter never beguiles one in the fal
north, as it does here.
While they are willing to concede
that insufficient clothing no doubt
makes some differences, natives Of
Washington find it hard to believe
that the mildest winter day in the
Arctic regions does not cause more
discomfort than the coolest day here
Still no one questions Miss Peary's
word, for she is able to qualify as an
expert on weather conditions in the
northern as we'll as in the temperate
zone. 1t may be recalled that she
was born in the arctic country and
that among the Eskimos she is known
as "Snow Baby"
Miss Peary has not spent a vaca-
ton in the polar regions since she
was ten years old, but two trips
one at that age and one earlier have
served to furnish her with large
stock of highly interesting stories OF
experiences and adventures in the
frozen wastes.
On her first trip, made in company
with her mother. and party, Miss
Peary says they remain far into
the winter because they did not find
any trace of her father, as they had
expected to do.
"The natives gave us no encourage
ment," she declared recently. 1n
fact they were always ready and eager
to convince US that father was lost
and dead. In all those days of anx-
ious waiting l never remember see

al Interest to Moguls of
Big League Circuits.
THE PARALLEL PLANS
Career of the American Leapue Jden
teal TO That of the Proposed
Federal,
BY MONTY

New York, Jan. 24.-Leaving out
of consideration all thoughts of the
Federal Leagues death, the fact that
sure enough baseball war would add
extra interest to a situation that has
been peaceful for the last ten years,
it is learned now that the Federal's
plans, as they stood when the year
1914 was ushered in, and practically
duplicated those of the American
League, when it entered the scene
The idea was to expand in quality
and quantity annually until calibre
was reached. With proper financial
backin and the correct working out
of details, it is almost certain that
this scheme can succeed now just as
before, despite the greater scope of
the established order existing at pres
ent. With moderate measure of
success attending the efforts of the
outlaws, in such a movement there
would be many twists and turns
worth watching.
It is almost remarkable, how the
original plans Of the Federal League
enthusiasts parallel the career of the
American League. When Ban John
son. Charley Somers. Charlie Comis-
key, John Kilfoyl and others launched
the American League in 1900, the club
roster was: Chicago, Cleveland, De-
troit, Buffalo, Indianapolis, Kansas
City, Milwaukee and Minneapolis.
Only four of these clubs were in line
the following year-Chicago, Cleve-
land, Detroit and Milwaukee. Four
new cities were taken in-Boston,
Philadelphia, Washington and Balti-
more. The next season, 1902, st.
Louis was invaded and Milwaukee
dropped. Baltimore fell by the way
side then and the new organization
broke into New York in 1908.
Now look at the Federals. They
started last year in the same general
territory where the American League
had it's birth, the Middle West, but
with six club circuit. The cities
were: Chicago, st. Louis, Indianapo-
lis, Kansas cit, Cleveland and Pitts
burgh. After new capital had been
influenced, ii was decided to have
eight clubs this year, dropping Cleve-
land and adding on Baltimore, Buff
falo and Toronto. Then the scheme
for next year was to cut off the two
poorest players of the circuit and
move the clubs to Washington and
New York. With this idea followed
out, the probable 1915 makeup would
be: Chicago, New York, St. Louis.
Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Buffalo,
Washington and indianapolis.
II Ban Johnson had the correct
idea when he started his league
which surely seems to be the case
the Federal Leaguers apparently
found the right track too. But as
Ban johnson and Bill Shakespeare
have said, perhaps they jumped the
track.

also. The first thing l knew mother
was calling, Marie! Hurry! Get up!
Something's the matter with the
ship. We were hustled ashore-just
in time, the captain said-and with
us some Of our stories.
ut was lucky we got out when we
did for the ship had keeled over and
was slanted until she was standing
almost completely on one side. The
stores on the submerged part of the
ship were ruined, and with them
many of our clothes.
LAS far as the food supply on this
trip was concerned we were we'll pro-
vided for, even after the accident, be-
cause we carried an extra amount to
prepare for our meeting with dad.
We were in real danger, though, for
the captain said that if the ship had
tilted much further we would have
lost everything.
when an exploring party goes in
to winter quarters, with ship and
equipment, snow is banked around it
until regular icy citadel is FORM
ed to withstand the cold. Then
come the long hours with nothing to
do. AS a child l, of course, did not
mind, for I mad my doll and kitten.
1.-The strange seasons bring the
long days and nights. 1t seems like
another planet. The moonlight plays
peculiar tricks with shadows upon
the snow. Distances are lessened o.
heightened, so that one is some
times deceived into making danger
Gus false steps when out upon the
ice.
1--WE did eventually meet father on
that trip. 1t was late during our
stay, and, oh, SO Unexpectedly. Late
one night he came. We were all in
bed, just doing off and mother not
yet asleep. All of a sudden We heard
a footstep on the deck above, and
mother said at once, Marie that's
your father.
Il shall never forget how he looked
that night. Our sitting room aboard
ship was about the size of an average
city house parlor, but had seemed
to fill every inch of its space-all
dressed in white bearskins, he was
immense. Father is tall anyway, AID
the fur made him look absolutely
huge. OF course we were over
joyed to see him; it was wonderful
to learn that he was we'll and alive.
Strange to say. that doy was his
He did not know it until
we told him, for he had forgotten. AS
it is a custom in our family always
to bake a birthday cake for each
member, whether he is at home or
not, We had his ready to welcome
him. We little thought he y would
eat it with u.s."
Miss Peary has a wonderful fund
of information relating to these arc
tic trips. She could talk for hours
and never repeat herself. She is a
charming young woman, and she
tells her stories fully and frankly,
her big eyes-the color of blue moon
light on eternal snows-gleaming
with pleasure as the memories of
her childhood come crowding back.

West Indian hall boys" are useful
in many ways. If YOU have adopted
the pleasant New York custom of
sending out for '"pint" once in a

course, this necessitates tip. Some
New Workers split the difference by
giving the hall boy glass of the
lager.
Besides being convenient in this
way, the hall boy is also of the great
est use to installment collectors and
other pests. The hall boy always
knows where you moved to. 1t is
impossible to conceal that or any
thing else from him. He Knows more
about you than you do yourself, and
if he was ever called before a Grand
Jury you would probably be indict-
ed and jailed so quickly that even
the hall boy himself wouldn't have a
chance to learn about it. By chatting
nicely and pleasantly with the hall
boy, and by tipping him once In a
while, it is possible to acquire suf-
ficient information about your neigh
bors to entertain your wife and her
visitors for several weeks. II you

is that the hall boy not only learns
all of your ordinary affairs, but that
he also reads your correspondence.
In New York apartments no one has

quite improper to have a servant. 1t

that the poor thing does everything

would be considered complete if it
didn't have electric lights at the en-
trance. All of the apartment houses
on the block have electric lights out

residents in that particular building
would not be regarded as of the elite.
Inu technical terms, used by Harlem
ties, ordinary flat houses are known
as "walk-ups." This term is always
used very contemporary by those
persons who live in apartment
houses. Flat jewellers never refer to
their residences as "walk-ups." They
call them "non-elevator apartments"
There was time, some centuries
ago, when Harlem was spelled
HARLEM, and when it was popu-
lated solely by the Dutch. Now it is
populated by every race under the
