PAT MORAN NOW IN THE LIME,
 EIGHT.

DAT MORAN. new manager of the
 Phillies, is making a sensational showing with his team. To date the team over which Charley Dooin pre- sided for several years is now leading the league. The clubs pitching has been of the best, and it's hitting and general playing are along a standard which if they continue very long will make the Phillies real contenders in the race, though it was the one team which was picked not to have chance after losing such stars as Lobert and Magee, but it seems to help some teams to lose it's stars. The Cardinals, for instance, have shown splendid form so far and yet had to part with some of their best players.
 It is, of course, notNt be expected that the Philltes will be able to finish very high in the race. but Moran is demonstrating that he knows some thing about handling a ball team.

PLAYERS LIKE THEIR NICK
 NAMES BEST.
C EtPLEAsE can us by our nick

EtPLEAsE call us by our nick
 names"
 That's the request Of many a ball player to the sporting scribes. for many ball players are better known by their nicknames than they are by their given names.
 For instance. there's McInnis, the Philadelphia Americans first sacker. Everybody knows him as Stufy, and few fans are aware without looking it up that Stuffy's first name is John.
 Shag is the snickname of A. T. Thompson of the Athletics.
 "And never call me anything else but Shag,' says Thompson. Just be- cause some chaps who wanted sto give me a. job as a coach were around look ing for A. T. Thompson and found no- body knew that monaker I nearly lost the place.
 Everybody knows me better as shag than by any initials or other first name"

TRIPLE PLAYS NUMEROUS THIS
 SEASON.

A T the start of last year it was trt-
 pie plays that became so common they ceased to be noted. Now it is likely to be triple steals. The Chicago White Sox pulled one recently, and the Indianapolis Indians a few days later came back with another. The Indian players to make 1t were Bronkie, Kelly and Metz. in a game against the Cleveland Spiders. Indianapolis stole eight bases in the game, so that even triple steal did not attract great at tention from the fam

FOR DANCING FLOOR
WHITE TAFFETA FROCkS WILL
SUIT THE YOUNG GIRL.
Should Be Acceptable Both TO the
Wearer and Her Mother, Gener-
ally Rather Difficult Thing
to Accomplish.

Fourteen and fifteen are sort OF be-
tween-season ages for the growing
girl. She Is neither a little girl nor
big one, and her clothes must neces-
sarily express similar "half-and-
half" aspect for consistency's sake. II
they are too childish she herself won't
like them, and if they are "grown-up"
mother won't like them, SO nothing
remains but the usual happy medium,
which, 1t must be admitted, Is not al
ways judiciously chosen.
In the matter OF dancing or party
frock we feel confident in presenting
in the accompanying cut, the very
delectable little white taffeta frock,
which seem in q II respects possessed
of the several features that will CON-
mend themselves both to the youth
full wearer and the motherly board of
censors-thus killing the usual num-
Der of birds In the usual way.

THE SUNNY SIDE.
Do Not Envy Your Neighbor; He Has
Troubles of His Own.

Don't allow yourself to fall into the
way Of thinking that you have all the
troubles there are In the world. Don't
for a moment think that life is unfair,
that the scales are unevenly balanced
by an unjust fate; that you have all
the sorrows and cares while some one
else has all the joys. You will be in
bad way when you begin to follow
such a train of thought.
Life is, after all, very square, very
even. If we have sorrows we also
have joys. If we have shadows we
also have sunshine. But neither you
nor any one Of us can have a monopoly
of either the shadows or the sunbeams;
we each have an equal share of both.
And If any one Of us seems to have
more than his share Of shadows, If he
seems to have been given the lions
share Of care and trouble, it is only be-
cause he does not make the most OF
the sunshine while 1t Is with him. He
Is too busy worrying about the sorrow
he has had and the care he may have
in the future to enjoy the happiness Of
the present.
Don't envy your neighbor who rolls
about In q high priced automobile,
while you have to walk. He has his
share Of troubles, even though poverty
may not be among them. Don't wish
you were In his place just because he
seems to have every luxury. II you
were in his place you might give any
thing to be back home again I'm your
own home
Our happiness is such as we make 1t.
1t is lying ready within hands reach.
We have only to stretch out our arms
and take It. The difficulty is that most
Of us are too busy looking for trouble
to see the happiness at our door. Most
Of us are no sooner through with the
problems of today than we begin an
ticipating the difficulties Of tomorrow.
Is 1t any wonder that we find so much
trouble In life when we are looking for
II so increasingly?
Let us reverse our usual mental
processes and begin looking for happi-
ness. If we keep thinking Of the pleas
ures of life we will surely find them.
Search and We will find" This being
so, why not search for the beautiful.
the happy and the bright instead of the
dark and gloomy? Let us forget about
trouble for awhile and look only for
Joy. You will be surprised TO see how
much Of 1t you will find
Don't let the shadows which fall on
every path spoil your enjoyment Of the
sunshine. Far better to fill your mind
so full OF the subeams that when the
shadows fall you Will not notice them
for the brightness in your heart.

The skirt is gathered full and
trimmed with rufIles set on in fes-
toons, one about the hips, another be-
low the knees, and a deep on to COM

under a covered cording which makes
a pretty finish. A cluster Of mar

OLD STYLES IN PARAS0LS
Quaint Fashions Of Many Years Ago
Seem to Have Returned Again
to Favor.

The quaint styles Of parasols used
from 1920 to 1880 have again appeared.
Shirrings, pufflngs, pipings, cordings
and knife-plaitings are used in a vari-
ETY. of ways, to emphasize ribs, to out
line cores and to form borders. Many
odd shapes and rich color combina-
tions are seen. Plain, severe styles,
the most prominent being the sand
tones, are seen only with tailored
dresses. There Is tendency to COM
bine materials. In dressy, fancy mod
els, the sand tones are combined with
bright colors. For instance, In one
model of brilliant red there Is bor-
der and piping between the shirred
cores, In a rich sand color verging on
gold.
A smart parasol developed in con.
trasting colors has a row of shirring
between the cores, producing a leaf
like effect. A very pretty parasol has
a border Of sheer crepe in contrast
ing color, Topped in each section and
caught with fiat button effect. Bat
tleship gray is a favorite color, being
used alone in tailored designs, and in
combination with the new reds and
blues in elaborate designs.
Many striking shapes are seen.
Among these is one with wide cores
of richly colored material and narrow
portions in stripes or checks. A clus-
ter of shirring appears at the edge.
OF special interest is the return Of
fiat Japanese and Chinese effects, both
plain and richly embroidered. Japanese
prints are in both silk and cotton.
Many Japanese designs have dark bor-
ders, with here and there a delicate
bit of hand embroidery in gold. Some
times odd-looking velvet birds in or
ange and blue tones are appliqued
over the inside surface Of the parasol.

Popular Gray.

paler shades, only after careful

Inventory Estates of Timko Family

Property rights of three persons, a father and two sons, are involved in the inventory of the estate of former Alderman Frank Tinko, which was filed in the probate court today. The inventory shows real and personal property to the value of $7,492.09. To this the mother of MT. Tirnko is sole heir, as she is the only surviving member of the family
 Pine street and among the, other items of his estate the appraisers, Joseph Koletar and Michael Roth, estimate his liquor license to be worth S200o, although there is an attach ment against it in favor of Jac. Rup- pert The appraisers also list the furniture in the hall at the back of the saloon as being worth $217.12.
 Timko had interest in various pieces of land in the West End and vicinity which are estimated to be worth $4,- 666.6O. His personal property is estimated to be worth $2,825.43.
 Fate has dealt rather harshly with the Timko family during the past year. Alderman Timko died sud- denly and prior to his death, his fath- CT, John Timko, who was living apart from his mother. was found shot dead in his little grocery store in State street extension. His death remains one of the many unexplained fatalities that have been recorded here. His brother, Steve Tinko, was dismissed from the fire department for drunk ness while on duty and shortly af- terward died in a sanitariun where he had been taken for treatment.
 The mother, the last of the fam ily. will inherit what property the former alderman left.

 The project to improve the sanitary conditions is probably the most vital of the movements. Not long ago the death rate among po1ishers was 9S per cent. for tubercu1osis, whereas by the
 national campaign it has now been re- duced to 62.5 per cent. The improve ment of blower systems with the adoption of the static measurement plan is advocated by the union and it's installation has been responsible TOT the lowered death rate-
 The improvement of factory condI- tions, where once it was unusual to
 see a man near 60 years old, has led to the the rnploynent Of women. The
 officials of the union said today that 200. are employed in the Winchester plant in New Haven. There are not many more than that in the state. It is not the intention of the union to try to eliminate the women but to ldiscourage the employment of more.
 Vice President Flynn issued a state ment for the general board today He said:
 MT Britton has been a factory in spector, employed by the state of Ill., linois and he has studied the blowing system at length. We have all re- ceived instruction in the methods or inoproving the health conditions in polishing and buffing rooms, through hro We are advocating, as a result, the adoption of static tests of air, by means of U-shaped tubes, which is be- 1 lieved to be the only efficient to test a blowing system. .qThe emery and metal dust from | " I11rf- fers' wheels get in the workers lungs and causes tuberculosis, of which for srnerly 98 per cent. died.
 "The static measurement system is
 recommended by the United States government and is endorsed by the Scranton Correspondence school as the only efficient means of measuring air.
 In shops where the sanitary conditions have been improved the health of the
 employees has been greatly improved. l GeSome of the oldest officers in our l association were talking over old times
