advantage Of the game is commented
upon by Miss Ethel Perrin. supervisor
of physical training in the Detroit pub
lie schools She says:
Why Game IL Valued.
"Newcomb is of value because Of its
tendency to train to good posture. The
ball always comes from a height over
seven feet; consequently the players
look up. This leads to a broad-chested
position. In order to make swift
throw the ball must be carried in the
hollow of the arm, which is drawn we'll
back to the body before the delivery IA
made. This position causes the chest

Authot OF Safe Rules

The first safe basket ball rules for
vonen, rules which were generally
,aopted BY a majority Of schools and
colleges, were framed by Miss Clara

and were circulated as "Newcomb Bas-

University from other colleges made

Cotton Mills Are Silent.

When this country was threatened
with a food crisis, because of the
SPECTATORS who were storing food
stuffs against a higher market, Mrs.
Julian Heath urged housewives to aid
their country by refraining from buy
ing moro than they needed from week
TO week. The cotton situation is just
the reverse. Thousands Of cotton
growers in the South arc in distress,
with their bales OF cotton on their
hands. and no way to market them.
Mills are silent, and thousands of
operatives on the brink of starvation,
because the cloths they make can no
longer be sent abroad. SO patriotic
women are urging their sisters to buy
to buy cotton goods and wear them,
to buy bolts OF cotton and put them
away on the closet shelf, IL they can
afford TO invest little money to aid
the Southern workers in their need.
From many women this call comes
from Miss Ida Tarbell, the writer;
from Mrs. May Riley Smith, the
veteran clubwoman, president of Soro-
sis; from Mrs. William Cumming
Story, president general of the Daugh-
.ers of the American Revolution; from

New York will see for itself that the
objections Of some Of the fashionable
dressmakers, who declare that "cottons
are too slazy to be draped effectively
that they "lack the lustre Of silk" that
they look cheap" and so on, have no
foundation in fact. If you want a
cotton ball gown it isn't necessary to
copy the girl who, having an invita-
ton to a dance and no gown and no
money to buy one, made it out Of some
six-cent unbleached cotton sheeting.
Her creation. touched up with some
ribbons and flowers. was very effective;
but there are many other choices for
the woman who has sworn to wear cot
ton. There are beautiful cotton velvets.
There are exquisite cotton ribbons.
There are the lovely cotton crepes, and
there are the organizes and challis
that our grandmothers wore, only pref
tier and more delicate than the ones
manufactured in old times. And they
will all be seen. in all their various
possibilities, in New York this winter.

Mrs. Percy V. Pennypacker, head OF
the General Federation of Women
Clubs: from the daughter of Speaker
Clark of the House of Representatives,
Miss Genevieve Clark, and from women
Of the official circle in Washington
who are in a position to know especi-
ally of the suffering which comes from
the crisis in the cotton belt.
Miss Guernsey says that much OF
the correspondence which comes to her
as president of the "fed' is now con-
cerned with cotton.
"My etters show that the interest
in the movement is growing constant
w." she said. "And the people In the
cotton belt arc much encouraged by 1t.

facturer in Washington, N. C., tell

people there, and how much they are

women are taking in American cloth.

Honest Undisguised Cotton.

I'VE can't buy bales Of cotton to help
those people, but we can, most OF US,
buy a bolt or two OF cloth, even If we
don't need it right away. Cloth keeps;
it doesn't spoil, and most of us have
an unused shelf in the closet. We can
do that. and we can vow to wear cot
ton cloth on every occasion where 1t
is possible. We have been wearing
more cotton than we imagine, cotton
woven into the wool of our imported
suits from England or France. Let US
free ourselves from that fetish or I'M
ported clothes and make up our minds
to investigate the possibilities OF hon
est cotton, undisguised silk or wool.
America has been too dependent on
Europe altogether. This war, horrible
as it is, will show US the value OF our
own products"
The Californian Club, OF which Mrs.
Thomas J. Vivian is president, is one oil
the most energetic organizations IN the
support of cotton. They plan to have
ball, where no woman wearing a
scrap of any cloth but cotton will be
allowed to enter. They haven't de-
cided whether they will enforce this
rule upon the men. 1t is harder for
a man to get up a nifty cotton rig at

Actors In China.

Music as a profession is not now re- garded as wholly reputable. but it is common to hear men singing snatches of theater songs as they go along the streets or country lanes, and amateur instrumentalists are many both among the poor and the better educated classes. We listened once, almost en. tranced, to a boatman on the inner waters of the Chekiang province de claiming with clear. strong voice and tune and rhythm for more than an hour at night a poem of short cantos in praise of Buddha. It is a common thing at Picking. the chief home of actors. to see man standing with his face against the city wall and yelling like one demented. He is an actor practicing his part and strength ening his voice.-Moule's "The Chinese People"

@hv on Namea

One would suppose that even ir large families parents wouldn't run out of names to give their children. But certain lack of Imagination Tor materiaEis evident in sections of the foreign populated west side. A United Charities worker on one of her recent investigations came across a family where three of the young ones were named Joe. Her first thought was that either the father or mother had been married more than once, but to her amazement such did not prove to be the case. The mother simply liked the name Joe and took the path of least resistance.
 But" asked the visitor, turning to one of the little fellows, "how do you know when to come when your mamma wants youP'
 ' "Oh, that's easy,' was the reply. When she wants me she calls Joe. and come, and when she wants my brother, why, he comes."
 This explanation is still rather un- satisfactory. but the practice of calling several children in one family by the same name, I understand, Is not un- common in Chicago.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Smoke and Soot,

Soot, the principal trouble maker in smoke, is the product of incomplete combustion, and is formed partly by the mechanical removal of ash by the chimney draft and partly by the decomposition of the volatile portion of the fuel which is formed by the proc ess of destructive distillation. The character of soot varies with the dis tance from the grate at which 1t has been deposited. as well as the tenn perature of the furnace. amount of air. and method of firing. The acids con tained in soot attack mortar, masonry. woodwork. metal work and building material generally. In many European cities 1t has been found that soot causes the rapid disintegration of stat uary and public monuments. The dam age done to inside decorations appears to be no less important than the effects upon the exterior of buildings. Smoke is visible proof of imperfect combus- ton of fuel, and consequently evidence of waste and inetficiency.-New York American.

Bows and SIeep,

One thing a growing boy wants to be long on is sleep. and yet he Is most apt to be careless about It. It Is during sleep that a boy grows most and catches up. During his waking hours he tears down and burns up more tis
 sue than he builds. Good. sound and sufficient sleep is essential to growth, strength and endurance. A boy scout should have at least nine or ten hours of sleep out of every twenty-four. If you lose out on this amount on one day make it up the next Whenever unusually tired or when you feel out of trim stay in bed a few hours more if 1t is possible A boy should wake up each morning feeling like a fighting cock. When he doesn't he ought to get to bed earlier that night. Sleep is n wonderful restorative and tonic. Ii helps to store up energy and conserve strength.-"Boy Scouts of America"

A Freak In Stone.

The rocky maze of Prachov, near Japan, in northern Bohemia, is a yer itable natural curiosity. It has been we'll described as a gigantic freak in stone" To enter the labyrinth with out a guide is a perilous proceeding. for an unwary adventurer would prob ably speedily be lost in the tortuous windings of the maze. where the paths are so narrow and crooked and the cliffs on the side so high that the ex plorer soon loses all idea of locality In days of fiery persecution the Mora, yian and Bohemian brethren's secret prayer meetings used to be held here just as the early Christians assembled to-. worship in the catacombs. The cliffs are honeycombed with cells. and at the far end of the maze Is rock castle where in the old days a robber baron lived and took toll of all way farers. The shape of some of the rocks is very curious. There are. for in stance. the bishop and miter.' the Madonna and the child" and many others.-London Sketch.
