ond, for third. 8 for fourth. for
fifth, for sixth. y for seventh, Y for
eighth. v for ninth and Y for tenth,
Cooper scored 81 points during the
year, as against 3s points for GIL An
derson and Eddie O'Donnell, his near
est competitors.

the roads through his winning two
races. finishing second in another and
being eliminated In two others, while
two fourths and one elimination on the
speedways.

thirteen starts the latter only won one
race, the Glendale road contest. while
| Anderson won the Elgin National and
the Aston cup race, the latter world s

entitled to the choice in the selection of
runner-up. The seasons winning driv-
ers are ranked in the following order:
| Cooper, Anderson, O'Donnell, Resta
Rickenbacher. Oldneld. De Palma,

 Then the small bags made of linen or any other material are tackled on behind each hole, and this may be seen in the small sketch on the right which also illustrates the support that must be fastened on the back.
 This game is played with rubber balls, the competitors standing at an agreed-on distance from the board and in turn throwing. When ball enters a hole and stays there. the player scores the number that is above the hole, and if the game is fixed at, say twenty points, the first player who reaches that number wins. To add to the fun of the game small prizes for successful competitors can be easily arranged.

STREETS GIVEN TO CHILDREN
Certain Thoroushfares in New York City Closed to Traffic to Per
 init Youngsters to Play.

New York city is trying the experi- ment of closing certain highways to traffic daily and letting the youngsters romp in them. Huge signs are placed across these thoroughfares reading: Street closed for play"
 Miss Ruth Robinson, chief play or ganizer, says: 'It brings an ache to the heart to see how reluctant some of the babies are to cut loose and play in the open street. Play seems inex. tricably associated in their little minds with guilt. No one, after watch ing for an hour or two the healthy spirit that grows among the children in these allotted play streets can doubt their benefit to the little people of New York.

Covert cloths, shepherd's-checked and striped suitings seem to be divid- ing honors in tailored suits for spring. It is hard to say which is most fa- vored. All of them are developed in many smartly cut and perfectly tail ored plain suits that are far and away the most elegant of all street dresses.
 Some of the new models are what may be called severely plain, allowing themselves only machine stitching and buttons by way of garniture and finishing touches. Buttons this sea- son are made of the fabric of the gar ment. in many elegant suits, but in unusual shapes. In an equal number of designs they are selected from the various composition, bone or pearl de- signs. But severe lines and finishing do not characterize all the new spring tailor-mades.
 The coat-suit shown in the picture belongs to the plain well-tailored class that should be found in every woman's wardroberIt It is just right for the busi- ness woman, the traveller, or for street wear where one finds need for only one new tailored costume.

In four months deposits in Kansas City banks have increased more thar 8,000,000 and are now larger thar ever before. There has never been as large an increase in any similar pc riod of any previous year. The rec ord gives evidence of the prosperity and the wealth of the territory oi which Kansas City is the financial anc commercial center. The profits aris ing from last years big wheat croI and the business stimulated thereby in large measure accounts for the big increase.

HAS PEOPLES TRUST
Country Satisfied With the Work
 of Congress.
Tariff, Honestly and SkiIlfuIIy Drawn Has Set New Mark in History Currency Bill Also a Great
 Achievement.

The first great achievement of the Sixty-third congress, called in special session in the summer of 1913, was the revision of the Payne-Aldrich tar if law. We have heard from the pro- tected interests much criticism of the wisdom of the Underwood act and many gloomy prophecies of it's ulti. mate effect upon American industries. But, 'our enemies themselves being judges" this law is free from the most serious defect of the tariffs that pre-. There has not been breath of sus. picion cast upon the good intent that inspired it. There has been no rubber scandal. no woolen scandal, no glove scandal, no sugar scandal, in conse quence of it's making And in this re spect it has set a new mark in the tariff history of fifty years.
 The. second great achievement of the congress was the currency bill This measure, put into operation un der the most adverse circumstances has the unique distinction of com manding the support both of Wall street and the West. It is but the recognition of plain fact to note that the causes of this gratifying result were primarily moral. When congress met neither house contained single member who was eminent for his knowledge of finance. But the congress with the party of the South and the West in control, had honestly revised the tariff downward, and dealt with sugar, with lumber and with wool in a truly national spirit. Men trusted it. As a result, the best knowledge and experience of bankers, fnanciers economists and merchants were freely poured out. Radicals and reaction aries alike forgot their prejudices and came together to work out common needs in patriotic way. And the world has applauded the result.

 The coat in this suit follows the lines of the figure rather more close ly than is the rule in spring styles. It has a panel back and plain coat sleeves finished with a band and two buttons at the wrist. At each side of the front an applied strap, pointed at the end and decorated with button and simulated buttonhole, suggests a belt.
 The suit is worn with a soft silk waist having square turnover collar at the back This has "V"-shaped opening at the front showing dainty collar and vestee of lace or net worn under it. Cloth-top shoes and pretty hemp hat with trimming of ribbon and cherries complete spring costume that merits no criticism.

A coiffure which is beautiful from any point of view is not met with ev- cry day. Here is one which is exquis- fte from whatever side you look upon it. It convinces one that there is nothing quite so pretty as curls, and should prove that the classic lines, which it follows closely, have never been improved upon.
 The hair for this coiffure is waved and parted at the left side. The short hair about the forehead and temples is curled into very short ringlets. The back hair is brought to the top of the crown and coiled in a loose soft coil The waved front hair is brought back to the coil and pinned to it, leavt 4g the ends free. These ends are sepu. rated into strands and curled in short tight curls. They are pinned close eo the head about the coil. Finally

As long as you work for man, give him your best. If the conditions sur rounding your position are unpleasant, keep on the watch for another job. If you have definite idea of the char acter of the work you like best, it would be a good idea to advertise for it. But remember, we should first serve an apprenticeship before we may expect to take the reins in our own hands. No man can serve him. self well, or his employer, so long as he is dissatisfied.
 Don't work for a man to whom you cannot give your best; nor should you work for a man you can't respect. If your wages are not enough to allow you to live decently. search around for some other line of endeavor. Al, ways be ready for promotion-this means you should learn your business root and branch.

the two men are alike in temperament,
but merely that their general scheme of
football strategy is the same.
Williams, like Haughton, Is believer
in the theory that football success de-
pends first of all upon sound defense;
that II must precede the building up cf
a successful attack. This means that
Pennsylvania's football candidates will be
thoroughly grounded in the rudiments and
that then they will be taught in detail a
defense for the forward pass, end runs and
for every other sort of an attack. When
williams was an active coach he built up
a secondary defense that was made the
basis for defensive football everywhere.
Football has changed very much since
then. but the principles of defense are
much the same.
Doctor Williams will coach the back
