mixture of tar, resin and petroleum as

the habit of washing dirty clothes In

only the snobs, and the girls with new
hats, sit in the boxes. Box seats are
comfortable, it is true, and they cost
only an additional ten cents, but we
have come to consider them undemo-

Freddy Van Dyne, who spends her
winters in Egypt and her summers at
the ball park, comes out to the game
every afternoon in her automobile, but
she never occupies box seat; so why
should we? She perches up in the

Iron Cross Order is
 102 Years Old Today


 The German Order of the Iron cross, which was revived by the Eai-s ser shortly after the begin ming Of the present war. was founded 102 years ago today. March To, 1813. It is one iof the German military decorations which may be won by the humblest private and by the highest fl cid mar sha1 or prince of the blood royal and in that respect it corresponds to the Victoria. Cross Of Great Britain Al most worthless in intrinsic value 1t is the most coveted of all German ern-s b1eIns in time of war
 The Iron Cresas Order was znst1-s tuted by King Frederick " iI1iaIa III of Prussia as a reward for the yalors of his so16iersseng engaged in the Na-l poIapnic wars, when Prussia and Eng-i land were friends and France their common foe.. The original enabienasl consisted Of a small maltese cross, made Of iron to remind it's owner of the hard times that had brought it into hafng and inlaid with a mar row silver band. In the center were three oak leaves, the letters w. the initials of the King. and g. cross above and the date Is F3-1815 below In 1841 an act was passed providing annual pensions to the Wearers of the emblem.
 No Iron Crosses were aistEibuted during the Austrian and Danish wars.
 
 elared war against Prussia. the order was revived by Kins William E. The Crosses awarded during the Franco Prussian war did not bear the three oak leaves. Except for the change in date and the letter M " instead of esF the Crosses of 1870 were similar to those of 1913. The 1870 decoration was bestowed upon 48,574 4s soldiers of a1lSelasses, and its dfstrib Us ton was not confined to Prussians. In ! l.T <f- the three oak leaves originally i'm < pressed on the Crosses but absent from those of 1870, and the embIems# now being so lfberauy distributed are of the original design
 The Iron Cross Order has three der grees. Ta e Grand Cross which is much larger than tlsz others, Is given only to commanding officers, whq5 have won a decisive battle followeds by the forced withdrawal of the foess or for successfully defending a fort against the enemy. The smaller Iron Crosses are of the first and second class. All are suspended from a black rIbbon, the Grand Gross being worn. at the neck and the others on the ! breast.
 The iron insignia symbolic of Ya1or= 1 has already been conferred upon thou-. sands of German officers and soldiers. engaged in the present war. It is awarded not only to soldiers who l have performed Individual acts of dis- tin guished vaIor, but is granted to all the members of regiments that have performed services especially pleasing to the Emperor. ! Of all the decorations a German warrior may achieve, the Iron Cross is most highly esteemed. There is no. emblem within the gift of the Kaiser or of any other German ruler which ! carries with 1t greater glory and hon. or than this iron insignia with it's sil= yer border. Veterans who possess this. decoration have always been honored ] in Germany, and the possession Of an
