In the bazaars and public places Of

medan enter enthusiastically into the
excitements of hop scotch. They call
it ''ekaria dukaria,' which is certain
ly a more imposing title. The court
is marked out into seven squares, each
OF which has name, as follows: Eka-
ria, dukaria, tikaria, kachkolan, sus-
tanawa, chotka and barka. A round
piece Of tile (khapolio) is thrown sue
cessiveiy into each of these squares
and kicked out by a player hopping on
one foot. In passing the fifth and
sixth squares (sustanawa and chotka),
the player has to jump straight In and
then straight out again from the chalk
line without treading on any Of the
intervening squares. When the tile
has been kicked out Of the last square

broken, the player scores point.

A SUCCESSFUL VENTURE.
Municipal Market Due to the Enter
prise Of Local Housewives.

Municipal Market Due TO the Enter
prise Of Local Housewives.
No less q city than Los Angeles has
been quietly but successfully develop
ing plan for municipal markets.
Three markets were opened the first
week of last May and three more last
July. In the FIRST two months about
5000 people appeared in the markets,
many of whom were women who sold
bread, cake, jelly, ETC., and who were
encouraged In, every way.
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
were chosen as market days, and a
charge of 10 cents day for the use
of stall was made TO each vender.
This trifiing expense. however. covers
the operating expense of the market
and includes the services Of the super,
intendent and an inspector. These
men go the rounds Of the market to
see that no inferior goods are offered
for sale and to prevent the operation
of disreputable hucksters who buy up
tainted food.
The city did not appropriate funds
for this market but lent certain sum.
which paid for the lease of the ground
and the various salaries At first the
stalls and booths We're not permanent
but the success of the scheme has been
so great that permanent stalls are
being made AND fitted up,
Los Angeles has benefited by this
market to the extent that fully $4,000
people on market days come with their
own baskets to carry things home. The
result has been NOT only reduced cost
10 the consumer but great increase
| Ia the production. because every owner
Of a small lot of suburban property
has begun cultivating produce to bring
to the market where he can exhibit
almost free aud with very little ex'
pense of transportation.
One of the interesting phases Of the
market is the issuing of monthly
bulletin suggesting what to plant. All
questions OF gardening are also an
swered by an expert. These bulletins
are widely distributed among school
children, as In many Los Angeles
schools gardening forms part of ths
work

CREATES THE GRADE
OF VICE ADMIRAL
Bill Passed By Senate PIeases
the Navy Officers.

Washington, Feb. IA bill by Mr..
Bryan (F1orida), passed by the SEN
ate, creates the grade Of vice admiral
In the navy for the first time in the
history of this government. Proba-
bility is that the measure will be
passed by the house and that the
United Staets navy will be relieved
of embarrassments from which 1t has
long suffered through the failure OF
the government to provide grade Of
this character. 1t has frequently hap
pened that United States navy OFF,
GERS have been embarrassed through
being outranked on international oc'
casions by officers of the fleets OF
European governments. Among those
regarded as likely to be raised to the
new grade are Rear Admirals Badger,
Fletcher, Fiske, Winslow, Usher,
Howard and Cowles.
Before the bill was passed 1t was
amended by the senate to provide
that no additional numbers should be
created in the active list Of the navy
Senator Lodge offered this amend
ment, which requires that the vice
admirals shall be selected from the
list of senior rear admirals, but that
number OF rear admirals shall not be
increased. An amendment by Sen
ator Bristow was adopted raising the
age for retirement to 65 years.

march round q seated figure of Time,
which thereupon reverses an hour

mouth as often as the clock strikes,
while the bear on the right bows its
head. The cock once more crows and
