If this had occurred in Just one
game all the credit would be handed
to Shore. Weak batting in one game
does not constitute a slump. But
in the five games of this Boston set
the White SOX only hit in an ambi-
tious manner once and that game
they won.
Unfortunately LieboId is still un-
able to put much strain on his injured
ankle and Rowland will not put him
to work. If the little fellow was in
shape he would replace John Collins.
The latter could stand a rest, when

been much of an asset since coming

Paddy Roth is decorating the bench
and seems in a fair way to continue
that unimpOrtant role Roth is no
perfect fielder, but there is no ques-
ton of his batting ability. He was
hitting better when benched than any
of the SOx gardeners have been doing
in the past week.
Carrigan gave the Sox a terrible
upset by taking four games of five,

TWO RICE DISHES.

To boil rice-Place the rice in
pan of fast-boiling water, and be care
full to choose one large enough for it;
l ounce to IL ounces Of rice should
be cooked in a quart pan, which should
be three-parts full of water, and have
half a teaspoonful Of salt and few
drops of lemon juice in it, the latter

Stir occasionally. Boil the rice from
10 to Is minutes, but test it at the
former time by tressing it between
the finger and thumb. When the
grains feel soft remove the saucepan
from the fire at once and drain off the
water; return the rice to the pan and
set it on the corner of the stove to
dry, shaking it occasionally. Some
grains of rice will always stick to the
pan, and to remove these put s1all
pat of butter in the pan, and 1fas this
melts the grains will fall afMay. The
rice will take quite 10 minutes to dry
and should never be SERVED until the
moisture has been go1rid of and the
grains separated. 1.-THE rice is boiled
too slowly or f2r/too long time, the
result WI be/a sticky mass.

Childhood SWeetheQrts
BY FLORENCE E. IODER

and, in spite of them all, she married
the "just plain" American chap who
was her neighbor at her wonderful
home at Harbor Point, Michigan.
Miss Barker, Mrs. Spaulding, rather,
may never have to cook or sew Or do
anything of the kind, but she knows
how they ought to be done. And any
one will tell you that it is almost as
good as doing them yourself. She is
going to live in a simple little honey
moon fiat" in Chicago, and it isn't
located on the famous Lake Shore
drive, either. AS far as one can Judge
by reports, she is going to have as
happy and as care free a life as our
little June brides whose names will,
never appear on the social register.
And this is more Or less of an accom-.
plishment when one is burdened with
a fortune, because the right man isn't
to be bought like new toy for a mil
lionaire's baby. And real love match,
as l have said before, does this old
world more good than we will ever
realize.

One of the most delightful styles

Even mere man, who has long gazed
upon this sensible mode of summer
garb with eyes of envy, has at length
emerged in a similar style, the fore
runner, mayhap, of an evolution in
masculine attire.
At the first rude assault, however,
of the cruel, piercing north winds
upon Monsieurs Adams apple, he re-
instates with avidity his long-neglected

Despite much wagging of heads and

Maudie meets with the approval of the
medical profession, who regard this eX-
posure to sunlight and air as an effec-
tive means of becoming immune to
diseases of the throat and chest.
Sunlight and exposure to fresh air, -
says Dr. A. H. Allen, navy surgeon
stationed at League Island, sis the
best preventive of disease we know.
1t is no special dispensation of provi-
dence that permits woman to escape
from colds, Pneumonia and other
throat affections by exposing her
throat in the winter time.

which have been taught greater resist

Cases of tonsilities and other throat
troubles are unknown on board ship
among the sailor boys, whose regula
ton costumes are so constructed as to
permit their threats to come in con
tact with the air the year round
There is of course, some little trouble
experienced when the boys first don
their uniforms at the naval stations,
but they soon become immune to any

A short time ago the papers elab-
Grated on the details of most inter-
esting wedding. 1t was the wedding of
Miss Catherine Barker and Howard H.
Spaulding, Jr., of Chicago. These
names may convey nothing to your
mind, unless you happened to notice
the most significant fact that the
bride was the sole heiress to fortune
of at least S23,O00,000 which is still
growing and promise to be nearer the
$40 100000 mark in a few short years.
The young husband has, comparatively
speaking, nothing.
The details on which the papers
elaborated were simple in the extreme.
The bride had no ostentation, no vul-
gar display Of wealth to mark her we'd
ding-chiefy because she never went
in for society Her romance and
Courtship were equally commonplace
from a spectacular point of view. 1t
was one of those pretty love matches
which are all too few and far between
these days-they were boy and girl
sweethearts they rowed and swan
and tennised and romped together.
Miss Barker's enormous wealth was
mo barrier, in spite of what cynics
may say to the contrary. For there
are certain natures that are large and
noble enough to overlook even the
mighty dollar, unnatural as it may
seem. And in the four years of his
course at Yale the young man looked
forward to marrying the one girl in
the world for him, another thing which
cynics would claim to be impossible.
1t just takes something to jog our
| trust in human nature once in a while
and a true straightforward love match
is about as good as anything I've ever
seen. If it happens to come near
enough home, it will convert the most
cynical of us all. For it is still true
as in Shakespeare's jolly time that
all the world loves lover.
Another significant point about this
simple wedding is that Miss Barker is
said to have turned down chances ga
! lore to enter the formidable ranks OF
| foreign aristocracy. She had the op
portunity to become duchess, a
baroness and innumerable other peer
esses of the sort-there were 100 pro,
posals in all, according to reports

numbers there were 100000 persons
enrolled in educational institutions in
the United States in 1914 according to
the annual report of the Commission
er Of Education, just issued. Of this
number, 100000 were in elemen-
tary schools, 1,374,O00 in secondary
schools, both public and private, and
216,000 in colleges and universities.
Close to another 100000 were in nor
NAL schools preparing to be teachers.
$1,000 were in professional schools.
and the remainder were scattered
through other types of institutions.
The teachers for this educational
army numbered 100000, of whom 566.-
900 were in the public schools. The
cost of education for the year was
s750,000,000. Not the least interesting
OF the data shown, as indicating the
progress of education, is the rapid
growth of the public high school. The
enrolment for 1914 is greater by Owe,
