Dandelions viii Be Popular

Dandelions will yet become popular
as an article of diet with the people.
They have always been so abundant
that they have not been appreciated.
NOW some eastern canning establish
ments are advertising for dandelions
TO can. They are about to be put on the
market, as staple article of food, to
be had at any time of the year. IL
they are so good for factories to can,
they are also good for the home gar
dener to can. Our schools are now
teaching the science of canning. which
will be help in making the dande-
lion green available. One of the great
advantages in favor Of this vegetable
Is that it is extremely hardy. 1t grows
as far moth rs the shores of the Arc
tic ocean. Some of the seed houses
carry dandelion seeds. Anyone, how
ever, can gather his own seed, and 1t
should prove interesting to experiment
along the line of raising dandelions
from native seed on very rich ground
and under garden conditions.

Might Have Been Worse.

A United States senator recently
spoke of the problem of interest and
usury In this country, at dinner of
the New York Credit Mems associa-
ton, and told the following story to
illustrate the practices which the
comptroller Of the currency had UNI
earthed: "a man down in my own
state went into a little bank In a
country town and gave his note for
$40 for three months. The bank de-
Quoted interest and gave him $3.50. A
friend noticed he was looking pretty
thoughtful and glum. What's the
matter, Jack?' he asked. I was just

How to Fitch Glass.

simple way to etch glass is to
warm 1t carefully; If heated too rapid
ly 1t will crack. Rub paraffin or bees
wax over the warm surface of the
glass, and then with a blunt instru-
ment print the desired wording. To
some fuorspar Calcium fuoride)
placed In metal dish, add enough con-
centrated sulphuric acid to moisten the
powder. Place the glass, with the
marked side down, over the metal dish
containing the above chemicals and
leave 1t over night. In the morning,
scrape the parafiin Off and the de-
sired words will be etched on the
glass.

HAD A FEAR OF LIGHTNING
Lifelong Dread Made Woman Uncon.
scious and She Died From
Fright.

During thunderstorm at Newton
N. j., woman who Through all her
life of fifty years had felt a nervous
dread Of lightning" became uncon-
scious from fright and died.
Cannot the multitudes of otherwise
rational people who are obsessed by
the same dread take counsel of the
fate Of this unfortunate and allay
their fears2 asks the New York World
Ihey suffer an access of terror I'm
every thunderstorm, and in effect I'M
dergo the agony of death many times.
Yet there are few other forms of
death so painless or so remote. In
1872 in the whole country only 243 per
sons were killed by lightning, of whom
but AZ were females. Women. who
mainly feel this fear, should be en-.
couraged by their greater immunity.
But, In fact, twice as many people
are burned to death in CONGREGATIONS
In year as are killed by thunderbolts,
and the number Of those who die from
organic heart disease compared with
those who die from lightning Is as 1854
to /.
No doubt the superstition that has
attached from the earliest times TO
deaths by lightning has had some
thing to do with the survival of the
fear. People who view their inescap-
able exit from this world with philos-
ophy should be ready to accept light
ming stroke as an end as easy as any
other. 1t Is too instantaneous to admit
OF physical sensation, while the fear
ridden are assured that If the flash is
seen the sufferer iS sass.

Evolution of Hat Trimmino.

a curious change has taken place
IN the trimming of hats. Formerly a
hat was deliberately trimmed with this
or that-ilOwers, feathers or some
thing elsa separate garniture at
tached to the hat. Now the trimming
is made, as it We're, la one with the
hat-a sort Of mural decoration. If
the trimming were removed there
would be no hat. The new hat Is eff
fective, less cumbersome AMI more
beautiful, but alas no less expensive.

PLAN INTERCITY
TENNIS CONFLICT
FOR THE JUNIORS
Annual New York-Philadel- l.
phia Series Proposed by
Well-Known Players
WHY NOT SENIOR MATCH?

Plans for a series OF intercty tennis
matches between teams OF junior players
from this city and New York, are being
discussed by a group Of men interested In
the development of future stars in poth
cities.
1t is proposed to play two matches each
year, one shortly after the schools close tor
the summer vacation and another betore
they open in the fall. one match here and
the other at New York. Each match would
consist of ten singles and five doubles.
Such n match would prove to be giant
stride in the development Of junior tennis
PLAYERS Both in New York and Philade-
phia there is a wealth of material which
needs only encouragement and assistance
from experienced men to produce real stars
In few years.
w. T. Tilden Cd, Is the sponsor of the
plan in Philadelphia and the veteran F. b.
Alexander Is the leading figure in the
junior movement in New York.
Seniors Strong
Another match. while not so important as
the junior conflict, as far as the future ls
concerned, but which would boost the game
tremendously In both cities, Is an inter
city senior match.
IL Philadelphia could obtain the services
of all the well-known players who call TINS
city home, what team It could PRESENT.
williams, Harte, Gamer, Johnson, Armstrong
Tilden, Alec Thayer, Biddle, Evans, Pearson,
wister, Hawke and others would make up
an all-star aggregation able to hold its
own with almost any other sectional COM
binatIon in the land save, perhaps, the
Pacific Coast, and even against the Cali
fornans this team would mako great
showing.
One of the finest exhibitions of sheer grit,
nervo and fight was that displayed by
young Carl Fischer in the semfnal of the
State junior championship at Cynwyd yes
terday He was beaten in three fast sets
by Herman F. Dornheim, his doubles
partner. but the loser Is entitled to Just as
much credit as the victor.
Fischer Fighter
Dornheim Is two years older than Fischer,
and two years, when boys are IA and 10,
Is infinitely more than two years after the
ago Of 20 is reached Dornheim Is almost
head taller in height
From the outset 1t looked like run away
match for Dornheim, for in the first set he
held Fischer to purely defensive tactics.
But the Cynwyd youngster never waVered,
and coming back full of fight he soon re-
versed the situation, and with dashing
net attack he carried off the second set.
The third set was touch and 60 all the
way, and twice Fischer, remarkably cool
and resourceful, pulled out Of critical holes.
Dornhem had the endurance TO outlast his
opponent and at 5-all he took two games in
succession and with them the set and
match.

Prexy Performs
John C. McAvoy. president Of the club,
was so busy starting of the players and
attending to the details that he had an
awful time finding a chance to start him
self When he finally did go OF, he sclaffed
his ball jumpingly to the foot of the tee.
He gave the gatheringla black frown when
they would have made merry.
But at the finish Of his round he batted
a short pitch out OF the bunker right up
10 the min and after he had bowed to the
first handicap, be bent his head in gratitude
at the storm OF applause that saluted the
sinking OF a noble putt.
We entered the tourney paired with the
tennis editor OF the "irst thing at night
since 1914" We defaulted from qualifying
at the first hole and went out In earnest
after our opponent.
We had him five down at the turn and
trimmed him on the 18th by sudden
spurt when he started to catch up. We
insist on being boss Of our own department.
We learn that at the meeting OF the
Cobb's Creek Golf Club held the other night
at the Adelphia. Arthur Edgecomb Rendle,
after more than an hour OF lobbying In an
effort to swing votes to his way OF think
ing, knuckled under to H Wellington

the name of the club. He feels for the
threatens to secede II 1t is not finally
adopted. Cobb's Creek Golf Club will be

blows over All is amicable again.
But Arthur Edgecomb Rendle Is still
