Some Good Advice

Here is some advice given to
merchants who think they are
cutting down expenses when they
stop advertising.
The speaker is a very eminent
authority. He says:
Your advertising il it is
advertising worthy of the name
is your best salesman, and
you don't hesitate to lay 1t off
indefinitely because business was
bad yesterday.
Your advertising is a bigger
factor in your business than your
location and you'll move IL
down a back street or wipe your
advertising location off the city
map because you're not feeling
right to-day.
Your advertising is the big
sign over your door and youth
take 1t down and store 1t in the
cellar; your advertising is your
mical tax for insurance against
loss, and yet you'll lightly
SAVE - God save the mark
that expense for, a few days if
your dinner or business condi-
tions don't exactly suit you.
advertising is great force
in business and many great and
many foolish claims are made
for 1t, but it is not greater. nor
more powerful than any other
factor of your business. 1t can't
do the impossible. If you eX-
pect to get any good from it you
must keep it 'on the job make
IL work while you sleep"

SKATING TIME
BY Wing DinGer


Why go by foot or trolley
A mile or two to skate.
The pleasures of the pastime
VIII come to you-just wait.
IT'S years since have skated
And yet, dear goodness knows,
This year I've had the pleasure
That with the pastime goes.
For instance, iust this morning
/ found a lot of ice
on my front steps and sidewalk
Which, you know, isn't nice.
The car was coming swiftly,
/ hurried-then jar,
My feet slipped on the top step,
1 slid out to the car.
So why waste time and money
To go to distant pond
Or lake or creek or river
Dear reader. If you're fond
OF skating. choose the sidewalks
With all their icy Jumps,
You'll find them more convenient
And just as good for bumps.

THE PEERLESS TY COBB.
Writer in American Magazine De.
scribes Great Play.

In the February American Maya
zine appears a page entitled 1--WE
Glimpses of Ty Cobb" one of the
stories told is the following. which re-
lates how the great Detroit baseball,
player-perhaps the greatest PLAYER in
the world-made n lucky scratch hil
and then scored on three stolen bases
The greatest baseball play ever
saw occurred in game between the
Philadelphia Athletics and the De-
troit Tigers in Shibe Park, Philadel-
phia, June. 1912.
"'Ty' Cobb, his first time up, hit a
nasty grounder toward first base. The
ball had a deceptive bound and STUFF
fy' Mclnnes had some trouble reaching
for it and keeping hold of the bal!
when ne got il. But he managed To
scramble over and touch first Just as
'Ty raced over the bag. Connie
Mack's loyal 'rooterS' declared the
Georgia Peach out by mile, but the
umpire had ideas of his own and Tyrus
rested safely on the initial sack.
~'The unexpected usually happens
when this star swatsman rs running
bases. and on thi secession he did not
disappoint his admirers. After the
pitcher had thrown the ball. Ty, hav-
ing a fairly good lead, decided To am
BILE along down to second. figuring, no
doubt. that Lapp .(the Athletic catch
err would be taken off his guard and
throw wild. To try for second after Il
catcher of Iapp's ability has the ball
requires nerve of a high order. He
IS usually there with the perfect peg:
but the sight of COBB jogging along
was too much for him and he heaved
the ball into center icld. Cobb saw
Barry crouched i'm front of the base
waiting as IL to receive tho ball So
gathering speed, he made one of his
famous bent leg slides and landed be-
hind the bag. Then seeing that the
ball had gone to center field, he start
ed for third base at top speed. Some
one, | think it was Collins, made Il
beautiful throw To Home Run Baker,
who stabbed Cobb with the ball as
that we'll known gentleman was in
the act of sliding head first for the
third haven of rest.

While admiring his nervy exhibition,
the fans really wanted the dangerous
fellow disposed of. and he had reach"
ed third by the closest kind of mar
gin.
"'Ty' slapped the dust from his togs
and. as usual. ran several feet up the
path toward home each time the pitch
or started to wind NJ. The batter
had now gathered two striker. and
with the next wind-up Cobb raced fo~
the plate ut full speed, sliding with
great force against Lapp. who was
waiting for him with the ball. But the
throw had been n little too high ard
the catcher was taken eff his feet be-
fore he could touch the daring pasc
runner.
"Cobh therefore stole three bases

MATTY MOST RESPECTED.
Giant Pitcher Has Figured in SOM
Odd Deals, However.

Whenever the matter of the most
generally respected bail player of the
game is brought, up the consensus of
opinion generally falls on Christy Ma
thewson. And there is no getting away
from the fact that Matty is one fine
character Two years ago if some
body had put up the proposition of the
powers that by taking an official stand
against player authors about the last
man To be expected to violate such an
order would have been Matty. Yet Big
Six is practically the only player who
continues to allow the use of his sig
nature over stuff he never wrote or
even read Also, while the talk Of
jumping To the Federals IS hot, the
last man to be considered az a pos
sibility of ever jumping would he Mat
ty. Yet back in 1913 Sir christopher
agreed to play with the st. Louis
Browns of the American league only
to be turned back To the Giants when
the peace pact was signed shortly af-
tcrward. The average baseball fan
also has forgotten how Matty's name
was linked with that pilot" to bride

SAFETY MARGIN OF LOAD.
Weight of Crowd Largely Increased
When 1t Is In Motion.


When 1t Is In Motion.
When the winning run for the home
team comes across the plate In the
ninth inning and every fan in the
grand stand jumps to his feet with de-
light the steelwork of the stand has to
brace up its back and carry for an in
slant nearly double its ordinary load.
An American engineer who was not
satisfied with the old rule Of thumb
figuring on the loads that stands, the
alters and bridges may carry has car
ried out some experiments showing
the surprising difference between the
apparent weight of crowd sitting
quietly and the same crowd jumping
up or running from one side OF Il
bridge to another to see Il passing boat
race. He found that II man who
weighed 100 pounds sitting on chair
on the scales for an instant apparent
ly weighed 90 pounds as he suddenly
stood up and when he jumped up aud
jounced the scales shot up even higher.
The safety margin or load ordinarily
allowed for stands and floors takes
care of this extra weight unless the
whole crowd starts jouncing in uni

crowd hurryinS and then suddenly
stopping like the crowd running across

equal the weight of the crowd which

A MAN much sought in Washington society be-
~ Of his wealth and wit conhded recently
to one of his friends, fittings have to such
pass here that the only subject Of conversation din
is alleys
And young woman, seeking another description of
the situation cnuncated this washington has gone
on a philanthropy jag"
The truth of the matter that last it is the height
of fashion in Washington to be charitable If you don't
do good works. you don't belong. The thing of which
you most proud is not the number of who want
to trot tango with you, but the number of homes,
settlements, and asylums for which you working.
1t is far correct to give coal to the poor than it
is pour tea for the rich Charity in the air pos
sesses the town. 1t than fashion 1t is fad,
a mania.
And the spectacle of Washington society, which has
been famous for its bridge, its dances, and its idle
gossip going mad about aims and good works due
the administration, particularly to the of
the Wilson family The Wilson's believe in work That
is the real secret of things they The Pres
dents wife and the Presidents daughters are thor
oughy convinced that the best things they do
to improve themselves and to help others. And they
have decided that the only satisfactory
plsh this is to indulge in real effort and earnest
endeavor The present plan of Mrs Wilson to
the attic of the White House studio where
she may paint pictures for the express purpose of sell
ing them for cold cash is pretty strong indication
that the Wilson family consists of people who like to
put plain clothes and aprons and do whole days
work.
And, because they have such beliefs and carry them
out Washington does the When all is said and
DONE the White House dominates and molds the social
life Of Washington Consequently, that which the
Wilson's do is done by Washington whole. Society
is neither mysterious unusual organization.
It exactly other groups Of people It is lot
of mitators who are led by few Wherefore when the
head and front of it in Washington the family in the
White House. decides to do what it has been doing all
its life society decides to do that thing irrespective
of whether it has done it in the past.
That, in few words is why the national capital is
philanthropy jag, and why the clever dinersout have
to be able to converse about aleys-since alleys
regarded as the homes of poverty and suffering But
it is difficult almost impossible, thing for people
to be leaders in practical helpful charity unless they
have been cup against it themselves or have been
customed to do actual work for themselves. This is
why the Wilson's were the very people to make charity
