commissioners were forced to design
other flags for their troops with the

ed has not been preserved. In 1852 a
mint was established in Boston.
Money coined In this mint had the
pine tree stamped on one side of It.
The pine tree detign was also used
on New England flags. certainly by
1704 and possibly as early as 1875.
At the outbreak Of the Revolution
the American colonies had no flag
common 70 all of them. In many cases
the merchant marine flag OF England
was used with the pine tree substi-
tuted for the Union Jack. Massa-
chusetts adopted the green pine tree

ern states had the rattlesnake flag
with the motto Don't Tread on Me-
on a white or yellow field This flag
had been used by South Carolina as
early as 1764. BENJAMIN Franklin de-
Tended the rattlesnake device on the

If Hickey discovers that a players
average in his pinch column is lower
than his ordinary average he knows
that athlete cannot stand the gaff. II
it is higher, he knows the player has
the nerve and works better under eX-

His figures do not stop with fielding
and hitting. He has another set on
base stealing. He credits each man
with every base stolen, but the player
who steals when a base is badly need
ed gets an extra mark. That is only

FEAT.
SUPPORTERS REMAIN ACTIVE
Claim Fight Has Only Started and
Look to Next Congress in De-
cember.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Democratic
leaders in congress today considered
the woman suffrage issue dead SO far
as the present session is concerned
as the result of the failure of the Mon
dell resolution for a constitutional
amendment to enfranclise WOEne to
get the necessary tWo-thirds vote in
this weeks historic contest in the
house Of representatives. Failure OF
the resolution to get even a majority
vote, it was believed, would discour-
age further efforts at this session to
have the question again brought up
for consideration.
Will Continue Fight.
Undismayed, hover, because Of
the defeat for the second time OF the
suffrage cause in congress within a
year, suffrage leaders declared today
that the fight was by no means over
and It would be continued until vic
tory was theirs. It. vas thought like
" that suffrage leaders in congress
and cut would begin Immediately to
re-align their forces for another fight
in the siXty-fourth congress-, which
will meet next December.
On the other hand, anti-suffragists
we're out today with statements on the
result, asserting that their expecta-
lions had been fulfilled. Mrs. Arthur
NJ. Dodge, president of the National
Association Opposed to Woman Suf-
frage, declared that the result meant

that the question never before had

Was Holly Debated.
The vote on the resolution came at
ter many hours of earnest and often
bitter debate in which the question Of
states rights figured. Not since the
debate and vote on the resolution for
a prohibition constitutional amend

been witnessed. The galleries had
been thronged with champions n

speakers made it difficult for Speaker

On the roll call 37S votes were re-

BRANCH hickey HAS
novel Heart TEST
Manager of St. Louis Browns
Credits Player According to
His Nerve.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Branch Hickey,
manager of the St. Louis Americans,
has just made known II of the many
innovations he has applied to the
management of a big league club. 1t
is the heart test, meaning a test by
which he knows whether or not II

Test Under Fire.
Having installed batting cages, slid
ing pits and what fill the Browns
training camp, Hickey discovered that
one thing was missing. A player might
have all the natural ability in the
world, but be witho out the nerve. He
might be able to whale the ball on
the ose with one on base, but strike
out dismally when a base-hit or even
a sacrifice fly was needed.
Hickey evolved a method of keep.
ing score whereby he had it down in
black and white just what athletes
stood up best under fire. This sys-
tenn of scoring he calls the Cardiac
test.
Showing In "Pinch."
BY his clerical efforts Hickey learn
ed last summer just what hitter fan

dropped a fly ball. when a put-out was

what base stealer stole a base when

Why Do Women Require
 Hair Ornaments?

WHERE are women who are unhappy
 without an ornament in their hair. They feel unfinished for the evenings pleasure.
 The Paris women feel the same way. The simplicity of the English coiffure has never appealed to them; only a few of the elect who copy everything Eng fish leave the head uncovered
 Neither Is the huge and usually over weighted tiara of precious gems to their liking. Their passion for jewels does not run along this line, so they attach to the coiffure a bird of para disc. a long ostrich feather, an orien- tai tillet a GreCian bandeau, a Persian pearl on a silken thread, an Indian circlet of upright black feathers. They study this effect of the head as much as they study a gown or hat, putting it in a place of importance and rarely going without it. There are Americans who have this point of view. Women stick in a bow of ribbon, a paste jewel, a butterfly, anything in order to acCentuate the coffure. The effect is not always good. Often woman sacrifices the charm of a whole costume by this faulty addition. 
 up by their friends seldom have weight. Haven't you noticed that cer- tain cccentricities, certain tempera- mental preferences, will always come out in woman no matter how much opposition she gets?
 It is an interesting study, this, and might appeal to the biologist. In some obscure way it is a reversal to type. Long ago in the dim distant making of her. she was destined to pin on bow, or sleek back her hair, or choose the gay instead of the severe in clothes, or abjure powder, or yield to paint.
 When women wore puNfs and curls and braids they also added ornamental caps. When the CoiiIure became as simple as an Indians, even the fancy pin was excluded. The main effort
 was to make the halrpins invisible.

.Launder Your Own Silk
 Underwear

MOST women wear silk hosiery and
 vests, and they often wonder wha t they can do to save the wear on these articles.
 . There are a few things which can be done, among which is their care.
 Every one knows that precipitation will cause anything to wear out quickly. but these frail silk garments wear out much easier than cotton or woolen cloth. Thus if each one would rinse out stockings and vest as soon as they are removed it would be found that they would wear about three times 7 as. long as they do without.
 It takes only a few minutes to wash these things through the hands which avoids the rubbing which they are likely to get if they are washed with the general wash. If they are stretch ed they can then be used again in the morning.
 Another thing which is important about these silk vests and stockings, especially if they are white, is the fact that if washed with other clothes they will turn yellow. Tn some cases people use one teaspoonful of bornx in the wa ter and find that the clothes will re- main white.
 Of course when these things are be- ing washed soft warm water and white soap should be used, which is never rubbed on the silk but make studs and then rub between the hands. It is sur prising how few pairs of stockings and undervests are required when they are cared for in this way
 This is also true of white silk gloves or silk shirt waists in white. This is the reason many young women have what is usually termed . d wash out" Tc housewives it is str; ngc to do washing in this way but it is necessary to con sider expenses. l. !" ? very economical method.
