tons, while Craig, fast plucky youth,
may draw the other halfback assign
ment. He is rather light, but makes
up in speed and in gameness what he
lacks in heft.
Harrison and Jackson look like GER
tainties at the end positions. Har-
rison played in practically all of
Nays games last year and showed
up well. Jackson is a fast, heady
player, a daring tackler and real
star in handling the forward pass.
Clarke, tall, rangy chap, and Ward,
one Of the most powerful men in the
academy, are slated for the tackle
jobs, succeeding DeRoode and Nc
Coach, who were graduated.
There are three seasoned candidates
for the two guard positions-E. H.
Jones, H. S. Jones and Mills. H. S.
Jones and Mills were the regular Navy
tackles last year, but e. H. Jones in
his role as substitute showed up in
fine style throughout the 1914 season
and is doing fine work in the practice
scrimmages this year. He may beat
one or the other of his big rivals.
The only real task that confronts the
Navy coaches is the developing of a
center to take the place of Perry, who
was graduated. Smith, who substitute.
ed last year, is good man-but is he
good enough? That's what the coaches
want to know.
If Smith doesn't show up to varsity
standard, the coaches may play one
of the three guard candidates in cen
ter, which seems like good move, as
the trio of veteran guards all seem
good enough to hold down regular
jobs.
Lieut. H. H. Ingram, star of the
Nays elevens in 1906 and 1907, is
chief coach, and "Tacks' Hardwick,
the brilliant star of the Harvard team
last year, is his first assistant. Hard
wick has been tutoring the ends and
backfield men and if he's only half as
good teacher as he was player,
Navy will bear lot of watching.

WOMAN THE HOME BUILDER
Undoubtedly the Chief Trade In
Which Females of the Country
Are Engaged.

Yes, of course, it is homemaking.
Everybody knows that, but the figures
for it, compiled by the United States
Board of Education statisticians, are
worth noting. OF the 31,000,000 fe-
males over ten years of age in the
United States 24,OOO,000 are engaged
in homemaking. Girls may be enter
ing more and more into other trades,
but in the last analysis they general
ly fall back or advance to the rank of
homemakers.
Hence, says the Federal Education
al board, the Importance of giving spe-
cial attention to scientific cooking in
the vocational schools. The girlisa
hope of being able to hire cook 1s
apt to be disappointed as frequently
as the hope of keeping one when she
is hired. 1t is one of the oldest
things of life that cooking, the prep
aration of the food that sustains life.
the art that can waste or economics
in the chief item of family expendi-
lures, is so largely left to be picked
I'D as best it may be without serious
consideration or training. Ii the
woeful waste resulting from amateur
cookery could be computed in dollars
and cents it would rival the war bills
Of Europe. If the indigestion, dyspep-
STA and kindred physical disturbances
caused by incapable cooks could be
tabulated they would dwarf the list
of killed, missing and wounded

1t was more than likely that the
Marquise d'Esclignac was looking
back twenty-five years to a time,
when as a rich American, she had put
aside her love for penniless soldier
with an insignificant title. She re-
membered how she had followed his
campaign. She folded her lorgnon
and looked at her niece. Julia Red
mond saw cloud pass over her aunt's
tranquil face. She put her arms
around her and kissed her tenderly.
"You really think then, ma tante,
that he will come to Paris?"
Without a doubt, my dear"
"You think he cares, ma tante?"
Her aunt kissed her and laughed.
