The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-02-19

The proposal of the new Eastern League to make a guarantee of $100 for each home game and $20O for Saturdays is taken to mean that two of the weaker clubs will be frozen out. It is not probable that poor baseball cities like Lawrence and Lowell can pay any such sums. This guarantee means that a club would need an average weekday attendance of 800. The Eastern mogu1s want an eight-c1ub circuit and they will have it before another1 year. .'

CHESAPEAKE BAY BASE is URGED
CAPTAIN JONAH McKHAN
MAKES RECOMMENDA-
TIONS BEFORE HOUSE
COMMITTEE

Washington, December THE At
lantic feet needs an adequate fleet
base on CHESAPEAKE Bay, Captain
Jonah Mexican, aide for material to
the chief of operation. told the House
Naval Committee today. He urged the
purchase of the old jamestown expo
sition site, facing the broad anchor
age ground in Hampton Roads, for
the purpose.
Captain Mexican appeared to ex-
plain estimates of $5,19S.OOO for the
air service and since there would be
an aviation field at the proposed base
he went into the plan in some detail
although the Navy Department has
not yet recommended to Congress any
action on the project. The owners
ask $1,4OO,OOO for the exposition land,
which includes about $40 acres, Capt
Mexican said. Chairman Padgett re-
marked that such figure would mean
wide margin of profit, but the Of
flcers thought the facilities offered for
sale were worth the price.
Captain McKean' haid the navy had
purchased 1923 aircraft since the air
service was established in 1911. There
are now nineteen aeroplanes and
three kite balloons in actual service
he said, while a non-rigid dirigible
and seventy-seven aeroplanes have
been ordered. AS yet, he added, Amer

partment has issued specifications,
however, from which good results are
expected.
Captain Plunket, director Of of gun

slble guns for the feet and thought
the battle cruisers should carry 16-
inch instead of 14-inch weapons as
planned. He believed 1S-inch and even
20-inch guns should be under design
now against future need.

of animals, fruits, butterflies and even
landscapes. Black and white combina :
tions in nets and laces are frightened
with jet blue, gold or silver spangles,
or gold or silver embroidery. Fine black
net laces are put on over large-pat-
termed white chantilly lace. giving a
frosted effect. Flat panels at the side
or front. with band used as hem,
are frequently of Venise lace.
A f1ounce of white lace showing be-

Easily Made Collars.

QUAINT collar and cuff sets are made
|Q from embroidered handkerchiefs
One side. with a corner forming each
end, is cut off two and a half inches
deep for the collar. and each of the
other points make cuff four inches
deep. Then take val lace about an
inch wide and ease it instead of full
ing it around the hens. Too much
fullness makes the lace turn back on
the cuff and roll up in anything but a
pretty fashion.
White embroidered handkerchiefs
make dainty sets. the kind that may be
worn with any color or with white
equally well. but those with bits of
color introduced into the work have a
style about them that is very attrac-
tive. There are those with tiny flowers
done in an effective blue. All the rest
of the embroidery is done in white.
The same idea is carried out in red or
violet. The sets are not only easy to
make. but are easy to do up, and il
you iron the lace while it is still wet
1t will come forth with just little
body to it, like new.
