is not measured by the richness of ma
terial used
1t seems that the term sports
clothes" is destined to cover attire for
all outdoor life-or at least that sports
clothes will hardly be considered out
of place anywhere out of doors. They
appear to have made for themselves
a permanent place.
One of the new fabrics used for
sports suits is shown above. 1t has a
silky crepelike surface, substantial
weight and durability. 1t is one of
several new fabrics, each with a name
of its own, that have made a place for
themselves which promises to be en-
during.
In the suit pictured, the skirt is
made of cross-barred pattern In the
material in which bright colors are de-
fined against plain ground. The
sweater coat has a wide shawl collar
of the eross-bar. Very large pearl
buttons fasten the overlapping ends
of the belt. Just now suits of this
kind are worn with plain blouses of
crepe de chine or of linen or fine cot
ton. The vogue of sports clothes
have given colors wonderful impetus

Cheap Substitute for Linoleum.

An inexpensive and sanitary sub.
stitute for linoleum can easily be
made by pasting together three sheets
of brown paper used for wrapping up
goods. After thoroughly cleaning the
floor a sheet of the paper should be
pasted down and allowed to dry. Then
second sheet is laid down and al
lowed to dry before laying a third
sheet. If pattern floor covering is
desired, ordinary wallpaper serves the
purpose admirably. 1t is pasted to
the top sheet of brown paper already
laid. The whole, being thoroughly dry.
coat of sizing is applied and left to
set, after which a coat of good var.
nish completes the process. This floor
covering has all the advantages of real
linoleum and may be washed and pol.
ished in the usual way.

FOR HEALTH IN HOUSEHOLD
observances Thai Seem Simple in
Themselves, but Really Are of
the Highest Importance.

Is there a thermometer In your iiv-
ing and sleeping rooms?
Are the living rooms kept at n
temperature not exceeding 20 de
gress?
Have you any method of ventilat-
ing the top of the rooms where foul
air Is apt to collect?
Are your windows arranged so
that they can be lowered from the
top?
Are your sleeping rooms kept cooler
than your living rooms?
Do you open your chamber window
and turn back your bed covers as soon
as you are dressed?
Do you open your closet door at the
same time?
Are all living rooms and sleeping
rooms aired each day?
Does the member of the family who
Is the last to retire thoroughly air the
living room where the family has been
sitting during the evening, in order
that the foul air may not have chance
to circulate through the house during
the night?
Time and money spent in attaining
these ends will be we'll invested, and
the householder will be rightly repaid
by increasing yigor, comfort and hap
piness of every member of the family.

Bare Christmas Gift.

A mother was out doing Christmas
shopping, and with her was her four
year old boy. Leaving their automo
bile, they passed along the busy street
and gazed into the well=flled shoI
windows. At the display of fancy ar.
ticles in the dry=goods stores the child
beamed interestedly. At the array OF
toys in other windows his eyes fairly
danced.
Presently they came to a window in
which eggs and like commodities were
on view. As the child's parents were
enthusiastic and consistent over the
prevalent egg-boycott hen fruit had
been scarce in the household. The lit
tie lad jumped for joy at the sight
of the hen products.
ooh, mother" he exclaimed excited.

BY DENMAN THOMPSON,


If Howard Shanks is able to earn a
regular berth at first base for the Ma
tfonals this year it will only be after
a tussle with Joe Judge for the honor.
Judge is determined to retain his job
as custodian of the initial sack and
is confident he will be able to do SO,
this confidence being based upon a
marked improvement in his health.
Although Manager Griffith has not
admitted it, it is known that Judge
has agreed upon terms with the WASH
ington club for next season, and that
his signed contract will req oh Griffith's
offices within few days, if it has
not already come to hand Judge was
dissatisfied with the terms written into
the original document mailed to him
ana informed Griffith to this effect,
Whereupon correspondence was opened
between them, with the result that a
shsht alteration in the terms, includ-
ing the offer of a substantial bonus in
case Joe hits at a certain figure this
year, drew him into line.
Judge Is member of the Players
Fraternity, but it can be said upon
good authority that his sympathies
never have been with the organization
IN regard to the strike move, and that
1t was only because of a slight differ
ence over salary that he did not mail
his signed contract back immediately
upon first receipt of it.
Judge is wintering at the home of
his mother-in-law at Winooski Vt. a
suburb of burlington, and has written
to friends in this city that he never
felt better than he does now. He has
been taking daily workouts in gym
since the cold weather set in. and says
he now weighs 1872 pounds, his best
playing weight. Judge was greatly
handicapped last year in his playing
by the fact that he was not well man
most of the season, spraining his ankle
at one time and again meeting with an
accident which caused hernia to de-
velop. He is as sound as ever now,
however, and writes that he will give
Shanks the fight of his life" for that
first-base job, and that he expects to
make so per cent better showing this
year than he did in 1916.
IF war develops between the United
States and Germany or if the inter-
national situation continues serious,

thing is to bury the Ratchet and get
