THE GAME OF RING TOSS.
BY A. NEELY HALL.

You will all declare this game to
be Jolly fun. once you have played 1t.
and as 1t requires only simple ap-
paratus that is easily and quickly
made.
There is a target consisting OF nine
pins. arranged upon the ground in
rows of three pins each. and there
are three rings. Each player In turn
tries to toss the rings over the target
pins. The pins bear numbers, as you
will see by Fig. 1, and these numbers
are used in determining the scores.
The pin In the exact center counts 25
points. the four corner pins count is
points apiece, and the remaining pins
10 points apiece.
Nails 3 or inches long should be
used for the pins. Four-inch nails are
the better length II you can get them.
The ground would not hold these pins
firmly enough, IL they were driven d.
rectly into 1t. so you must drive a
stake into the ground in the proper
position for each pin, and then drive
The Elbert County tribune., 1914-05-08

the nails into their tops Gig. ~. First
locate on the ground the places for
the pins, by drawing three parallel
lines 6 inches apart. and then cross
ing these at right angles with three
other parallel lines 6 inches apart
The intersections of the lines will be
the positions for the pins. Cut the
stakes 6 or 8 inches long, and drive
them down in the proper places SO
their tops will be even with or triiie
below the surface.
Cut nine squares of cardboard from
cardboard box for the score num-
bers. and letter the numbers upon
them with a soft pencil or a small
brush and washing bluing. Make the
figures large and heavy SO they will
be easy to distinguish from distance

buckles or ornaments are placed at
the sides. The effect is elegant. A

r HE shoes of today distinguish their
American makers. for they are
brilliant achievements in the realm
of footwear. When one considers that
the fashionable shoe is wide of the
mark in shape when 1t comes to fol-
lowing the natural lines of the foot,
and yet is comfortable. it is possible
to realize something of the ingenuity
which is demonstrated in its making.
The most popular shoe for ordinary
wear. the neatest and most shapely.
is the Colonial Pump like that shown
in the picture. 1t is developed in
many different styles and combina-
tions OF feathers or of leather and
fabrics. These embody the patent
leather vamp and the quarter of 9TH
er leather or of plain OF brocaded fab
rics, Contrasting color is used in the
quarters sometimes: light gray or
white. and light tan are among the
more pleasing effects.
The pumps are fastened apparent
ly) under buckles of cut steel or sill
yer filigree or enamel. Pumps for
evening wear are often made with
vamp OF satin and quarter of patent
calfskin, with finish of rhinestone
buckles or ornaments. The pump
shown here is ideal in style and may
be considered a criterion by which to
measure others.
There is almost as great variety
in ties as in pumps. They are shaped

deeply the death Of Pope Plus,

active furthering Of preparations for

college OF cardinals for the election
of new head OF the church. There
was much speculation as to the prob

executor, 1t is expected will be Car

He was in the service for many years,
and his record is a good one, but after
quitting the service he did not apply
for reinstatement within the specified
time required by the rules Up until
the present time all efforts in his case
have been confined to an effort to have
the president issue an executive order
reinstating him. This President Taft
refused to do and Wilson has also de-
clined. However, Congressman Moss
has evolved new scheme which he
thinks will prove successful in re-
storing Mr.. Gambrill to the service.
He has unfolded this to. Senator Chill
