NEW YORK, Feb 15.-In the midst
of the great European war the idea of
International sport and competition
will not down. The advocates of these
games are constantly advancing plans
for such meetings, to take place dur
lug hostilities or Immediately follow
ing the declaration of peace. 1t is re
peatedly pointed out that such friendly
engagements in the realms of sport
win either help in bringing about
peace or act as a balm for the bitter
ness engendered by the conflict.
An example of these frequent eff
forts is shown in plans for an inter
national sport meeting after the war to
be held in Holland the land of interna-
ticnal meetings This interesting idea
is put forward in one of the leading
Dutch newspapers by sport enthus-
last The writer argues that when
peace comes economic necessity viii
soon draw the present belligerents to-
gether again and prepare the way for
international sport, which will in its
turn react favorably on the relations
of those now engaged in SO bitter 4
struggle with gun and bayonet
Such international sport meetings
however, he points out, call for diplo-
matte and careful preparation. One
cannot, for instance, expect to see I
football match Germany versus Brit
ain in Berlin in the first postwar seas
on. Hence Hollands opportunity tt
perform a delicate task, with the sup
port of America and other Leutrals, b.
making that country a center of con
tact The aim of such an internationa
meeting would naturally have to b
dolicately masked, but once represen
tatives of the present belligerents ha
met on a Dutch playing field the pro
cess would deevlop of itself very quick
ly. leading to full restoration of tn
valuable international sport.

The Better
The Day The
Worse Deed

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 15.-The better
the day the worse the deed, provided
it is bad deed to begin with, is the
new maxim laid down by the Atlanta
police court. S. o. Adams, who was
arrested for cursing on the streets
Sunday, to the standardization of num-
erops good church ladies, drew fine
81 800. The fine for cursing on the
other days of the week usually runs
anywhere from So to $25.
Adams blames his troubles on the
demon rum. He claimed that he had
drunk some whiskey which was doped.

No Trophy Guns.

Reports from those close to auto
racing authorities are to the effect that
the Vanderbilt Cup and Grand Prize
trophy races will not be allotted for
speedway competition during 1916. It
is said that the members of the Motor
Cups Holding Corporation are strong
ly opposed to shifting these automo~
bile race classics from reads to track
courses. Unless there is a change in
the deeds of gift it appears as though
these two best known of American
auto racing trophies will go uncom-
peted for during the present year.

SOLONS ADVISE BRIEF
LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
Congressional Leaders Think Time Too
Short for Extensive Work.

Congressional leaders gathered here yes
ferdays for conferences preliminary to the
opening Of the final session Of the Sixty
fourth Congress, prepared to advise Pres
Ident Wilson against attempting an ex-
tPnsiye legislative program during the
next three months. Despite the fact that
the House in the next Congress may be
so narrowly divided as to prevent Demo-
cratic control, the administration lead
ers, headed by Speaker Champ Clark, are
orposel to any effort to attempt elabo-
.a.e general legislation during the ses-
sion beginning December 4. They assert
that the brief session. which will close
with the expiration of the Congress on
March 4. 1917. will not allow time for
extensive legislative struggles.
Conferences among the leaders who have
reached Washington, including Speaker
Clark. Representative Fitzgerald, chair
man OF the House Appropriations Com
mittee; Representative Garner Of Texas,
Of the Ways and Means Committee, and
Senator Stone. of Missouri, have reachdd
a conclusion that the routine work OF
the session should be hurried through.
and general legislation left for the next
Congress despite the dispute over control
OF the next House.
The short session Is upon us" said
Speaker Clark today, land 1t will allow
us barely time to pass the appropriation
bills before We have to dissolve the Con-
gress. We will have no time for elabo-
rate legislative efforts. OF course It is
probable that We will have to take up
the threatening railroad situation just as
soon as Congress conyenes, and make
some disposition Of the eight-hour day
problem.

shaped silver dishes with open work border fitted with silver handles. A ollie embroidered with hot rolls readily tells the purpose.
 For serving cake, there is an en- graved glass tray with silver rim which raises it a few inches from the table. The edging is on the under heath side so that when it is inverted it may be used as a serving tray. A silver cake knife accompanies the dish.
 Of irresistible appeal for those to whom price is no object are silver ser vice plates measuring from 101s to 11h inches. One service has an Adams de- sign. while another is reproduction of antique Dutch silver.
 An engraved and silver lemon tray with fork of silver is requisite of the tea table. Great care should be ex- ercised in the selection of silver, so 1t will harmonize with the other table fit tings as to bring all in happy unity. Of glass and silver plate there is an egg service, consisting of salt and pep per shakers, spoon and glass, which after once used is termed a necessity.
 Sheffield plate in hammered silver design may be had in all the wanted pieces for table service.

The music was splendid and the rubes certainly en- joyed themselves.
