James E. Sullivan, boss of the
American Amateur Athletic Union,
made ridiculous effort yesterday at
the meeting of the international
Olympic committee in Paris to have
baseball installed as one of the sports
for the 1916 games in Berlin.
Counting baseball as major sport
in an international competition would
be an unfair advantage for this coun-
try. No other nation plays the game
as we do, and none has attained any
thing like our proficiency in the sport.
Six countries must play game in
order for it to be entered in the Olym-
pic games. Sullivan explained that
England played baseball 1t would be
Just as reasonable for the Englishmen
to demand cricket on the grounds
that we play that game. A few peo-
pie do, but it is not a game of the
country.
At any rate, the best ball team in
the world would not be decided. Pro-
fessionals would be barred, and
Mack's able crew would laugh when
they saw nine of amateurs billed as
champions of the universe.
Yesterday was an open date for big
league court battles. No injunctions
were secured. establishing a record.

HE KEPT NICKEL TOO MUCH
 Kansas City Star.

The story is told of a crooked street car conductor who was being watched by spotter for the company. The conductor divided the receipts on the 5O-5O basis-a nickel for the company and a nickel for himself.
 At last he came to the last, an odd nickel, and couldn't decide whether it was to go to him or the company. He undertook to decide it by the flip of the coin, assigning "heads" to the con- pany and "tails" to himself. The nickel came down "heads" up, the com pany winning.
 That's horse on me-" the conduc- tor said. "I'll make it two out of three"
 Up he Tipped the coin again, and down it came "heads" the company winning again.
 "Well, I'll take, it anyhow" the con- ductor said.
 The spotter reported the incident, and the conductor received this note from the managemnt:
 We might have been able to stand for the 50-50 arrangement, but when the company won that last nickel twice and you refused to abide by the result, it was too much. You are discharged" :"

AMERICA, SAVIOR
Milwaukee Journal

"The Americans have saved us from starvation," was the cry on every tongue. Every American seen in Liege was hailed as a benefactor. When ever an automobile carrying an Ameri- can flag passes the people take off their hats.-Dispatch from Belgium.
 That is what American aid for the starving of Europe means. That is what America's part in the war has been so far. Does a single American want to change it? The Roman aegis was respected to the farthest border of the known world; from the shores of Galilee to the western isle of Briton no man injured a Roman citizen with impunity. It it not even more worth while that nation should win the love of humanity by saving life than its fear by destroying it? Over here some man gives of his store because he hears of suffering that cannot be told; over there a fellow man lifts grateful eyes to the flag that has meant life.
 Does anyone feel like pausing in this work? Can any man withhold his hand while men are dying over there? Surely it is not too much to make some little sacrifice at time like this, How often in the past few months have We said in reverent gra- titude, Thank God for America!" How much more it means that men in other nations are saying with us: Thank God for America-the Nation that saves"

that work was in progress at the time

With Wide Array to Choose From Gift
Selection Is Easy.

Selection ls Easy.
In novelties there are the pendants
In jade, quartz, maachite and lapiz
Though to be had In the real stones nj
great cost, these manufactured Semi.
precious stones call for an experts skill
to be distinguished from the real.
Other pretty novelties are the rhine
stone drops worn on exceedingly thin
gold chains: likewise the delicate 6ow-
ers. such ms pansies. violets. etc. deli
cately enameied on silver Some Of
these are made so they can be worn
either as brooches or pendants.
Garnets and jets are among the old
fashioned stones once again popular.
Garnets make pretty color pins when
set in the long thin bars. In brooches
they are set as four leaf clovers and
roses.
The Jet pins are also worn with the
large pieces cut oval and oblong or set
In flowers and many geometrical de-
signs. such as stars, crosses, etc.
Stockings were never SO exquisite
before. From the display seen In the
shops 1t would seem as though spiders
instead Of heavy looms had woven
some Of the delicate and beautiful ho-
siery. The most fashionable colOrs are
the london smoke, copenhagen and 9TH

The mere mentioning Of delicate
stockings suggests dainty slipper buck
les. And though some OF these buck
les are beautiful and wonderfully
artistic. decidedly pretty rhinestone
buckles and sterling silver shoe buck
les are displayed as low as 81.
