EXPECT BOOM IN ATHLETICS
1t Is Believed That Indoor Sport VIII
Be Lively This Season-Panic
Stage Passed.


Indoor athletics will enjoy a much
more prosperous season during the
coming months than last winter. The
breaking Of relations with Germany
was the signal for the closing of q
majority of the armories in the middle
of the seasons doings, and this spoiled
many athletic meetings. Now that the
panic stage has passed and the mill
tary authorities are encouraging the
continuation of all athletic sports,
there is every reason to believe that
conditions something like normal will
hold sway when the board of floor
game gets under way.
There have been not a few criti-
cisms hurled in the direction of the
track men because they have not done
as much for war charities as have the
men who follow tennis, golf and other
games. 1t cannot be said that the attn
letes have followed the exhortation Of
the Red Cross people to "give until it
hurts" but, on the other hand, the
cinderpath set have done something.
Many of the smaller clubs and leagues
have turned over the proceeds Of
games for charitable purposes, and the
big athletic clubs have spent hundreds
Of dollars promoting athletic events for
soldiers.

tributes belong to it and they con-
tribute as much as richness of mate
rial, or more, toward making any dress
elegant. This particular model, made
up in the seasons darker colors, would
remain as chic and aristocratic looking
as it is in black.
1t is cut on long, almost straight
lines, with a little hint of severity in
them and it is intensely modern look
ing-a fashion of today for the woman
Of today. A straight-line long-waisted
bodice supports long tUnic with three
close-set rows of shirring at the top
where it is joined to the bottom of the
bodice. The tunic is faced up about
the bottom and embellished with IS
parallel rows of machine stitching put
in with a perfection Of workmanship
that is beautiful. The bodice fastens
down the front with satin-covered
"acorn" buttons and the same kind Of
buttons, pendent on heavy silk twist,
finish the long, close-fitting sleeves
The neck has Chinese collar Of white
washable satin and there are narrow,
plain turned-back cuffs Of this satin.
The neck in this model might be diff
ferently treated without detracting
from it's good style. 1t might be fin
ished with a high collar having rows
of stitching and narrow turnover OF

When the talk is of richness and lux
ury in winter apparel, the terms are
usually velvet and fur. They have
joined forces in the outer garments of
women and do their luxurious part for
her, whether to provide warmth or to
suggest prosperity. Presses, suits and
coats are trimmed with furs, and hats
borrow of an opulent world, furs for
their decoration.
One of the handsomest little Access
series of dress which the season has
presented appears in cape of velvet
bOrdered with fur and q hat made to
always keep it company. The cape
fulfills the mission of those beautiful
scarfS which women carry to protect
themselves from drafts and to "dress
up" the costume. 1t does not promise
much warmth, but it has other virtues
to commend it. This set is useful for
wear at the afternoon concert or club
meeting, or wherever one may have
any need for it.
The cape pictured is made of black
silk velvet, scalloped about the edges,
and is lined and piped with blue silk.
A fringe of skunk fur set in between
the velvet and silk lining extends all
round the cape. 1t is gathered with
several rows of shirrings at the neck,
to form narrow standing collar, and

Then came double to right, single

all off Danforth. Many players get
four hits in a game, but it is rare
occurrence for a player to hit safely
on each of his five trips to the plate.

COMBINATION
SALE IN FOOD
Is UNDER Ban
Thirteen Restrictions On
Retail. Trade Are An
nounced Today

Combination sales in food are
banned, the distribution of sugar is
limited. the weight of loaves of bread
is specified, and the recommendation
that all retail business be placed on
a cash-and-carry basis as soon as
possible are contained in list OF
thirteen restrictions and suggestions
placed on the retail trade, dated and
announced today over the signature
of DIR. T.. f. Ladd, food administrators
for North Dakota, as follows:
All combination sales Of food com
modities or products are prohibited,
except that combination sale of sugar
and corn meal, in the ratio of one
pound of sugar to two pounds of corn
meal, will be permitted as a wheat
conservation measure. up
Owing to the limited supply of
dealers shall not sell to private fami-
one time. The amount of sugar fur
nished to clearinghouse, restaurants
and hotels should likewise be restrict
ed in proportion. Discourage the use
of sugar for candies, confectlon, cake
frosting, etc. ...
The sale of graduated sugar in
Fargo or Grand Forks in excess Of 3
cents per pound at retail will be con-
sidered as sufficient reason for report
ing the same to the United States food
administration for consideration. TVS
does not, however, authorize a price
of cents per pound where the prof.
its are greater than that prescribed
by the regulations.

out a license, and should make appli-
cation to the United States Food Ad-
ministration, Licensing Division,
Washington, d. G.
Dealers not required to take out
license are, nevertheless, under the
same regulations but reached through
other channels, and falling to comply
with the requirements, will find their
supply restricted.
Every baker, hotel, club or restausr-
ant, baking as much as ten barrels
or more of flour per month, must take
out a license and should apply to the
United States Food Administration,
Licensing Division, Washington, -: G.
Failure to license renders one liEble
to heavy penalties.
The regulations require that bread
shall be baked in ! pound, l IL
pounds, 2, 3 and pound loaves, and
in no other sizes. Labelling for weight
will not be required.
Rolls may vary from 1 to 8 ounces,

dough before baking.
In the making of bread the ingre-
dents are limited as follows: Sugar,
pounds per barrel (196 pounds), of
cane or beet: or 1-2 pounds of GU
cose (corn sugar.; milk, 6 pounds
from which the fat has been removed;

lieu thereof, 2 pounds of vegetable
