The "Blowoun."

Among the Koasti Indians the
"blowgun" is still used for shooting
birds. This weapon consists of tube,
usually cane, about six feet long,
rubbed smooth on the inside with an
implement made for the purpose, and
carefully Strengthened with the aid of
fire. Slender pointed darts about eight
inches long are used as ammunition,
each one wrapped neatly along third
of its length with thistledown or cot
ton to make 1t fit the inside Of the
tube. The hunter places dart in the
tube, which he raises to his head and
aims at his game; then quick puff
of breath drives the little dart flying
with sufficient force to impale and kill
small bird or squirrel.

ing for the good Of the team. He Is
now cog in smoothrunning ma
chine. He is no longer an individual
star, although he Is playing just as
brilliantly as at any time in his long
career.
Christy Mathewson regards him as
one OF the most valuable assets the
Cincinnati club has. Not only has
Chase been pounding the bali at close
to 300 clip, but he has been fielding
with all of his old-time brilliance and
running the bases as he was wont to
run them when he was having one of
his good" days with the Yanks.

KEEPING NAILS IN SHAPE
They Should Be Manicured Every Day
" They Are to Sc Kept In Good
Condition.

The nails should be manicured every
day If they are to be kept in good con-
dition, but only few minutes need be
devoted to them once they are in per-
feet order.
Loosen the skin around the base of
the nails with an orange stick. Press
1t back as far as you can. Never use
a metal instrument for this purpose.
Hang nails should always be clipped
off as closely as possible, but it issad-
visable to use the scissors very spar
ingly on the cuticle around the nail.
After polishing dip the nails In warm
water to remove any traces of the pol
ishing powder, and final touch is
given by rubbing the nails against the
palm of the hand.
Always file the edges, as this is pref
cradle to cutting them, and finish by
giving a polish with chamois leather
pad. Manicure powder or paste need
be used only once or twice a week.
To remedy brittle nails, get an ounce
of myrrh from the druggist and mix
1t with one ounce of turpentine.
Spread this paste over the nails at
night, and in the morning remove it
with littlss vaseline.
Before beginning the manicure place
some warm water, in which you have
dissolved little good soap, in a small
bowl, and soak the nails in this for five
minutes. This is to soften the cuticle,
and make it easier to manipulate.

FINGERS KEEP PLAYERS OUT
Are Physically Fit for Service
In the Army.

The idea that all ball players must
be physically fit for service in the
army appears to be erroneous. Heine
Groh, third baseman OF the Reds, re-
ceived orders several days ago to re-
port for examination, and Heine re-
ported. He got away well In the phys
zeal test until one of the examiners
noted that his fingers were not as
straight as they should be.
At various times during his base
ball career Groh had smashed his
fingers in finding batted or thrown
balls, and they did not "come back"
AS result. Groh was rejected by the
examining board.
If the same rule is to be followed
1t means that several ball players who
are otherwise physically fit will be
rejected by the examining boards.

CHASE IS BIG FACTOR
Has Been Playing IN american
League Twelve Years
One Time Yankee star Has Supplied
More impetus to Rods Than Any
Other Piayer-Temperams
Causes Much Trouble.

Time has been lenient with Hal
Chase, once the idol of New York fam
dom. For IL years he has been cam
paigning along the major league trail,
but not yet does he have to don his
cap to the newer stars. The Sisters
Pipps and Holkes Of later day still
have far to go before they can out
shine the battle-scarred Redlander.
Chase has been an inspiration to the
Reds. Next to Matty, the one-time Yam
kee star has supplied more impetus to
the Cincinnati drive than any other
player on the club. He has become
the pivot about which the Redland ma
chine revolves.
Hal Chase ranks with Jack Coombs
as one Of the greatest "come-backs" in
the history Of baseball. On more than
one occasion his major league requiem
has been read, but today he is back on
the upper course, performing with all
the old agility ana easy grace that
made him one Of the most popular play
ers in the country in the years Of his
service with the Yankees.
Chase is one of those high-strung,
temperamental ball players. In the
past his temperament has caused him
a deal of trouble. At times 1t upset his
playing so that 1t looked as If he were
on the soapy chutes headed toward the
minors. But Chase seems to have over
come his erratic ways to great ex-
tent.
He seems to be more content with
his surroundings on the Cincinnati
team than he ever was while men,
Der of the Yankees, the White Sox and
later in the now defunct Federal
league.
He is playing steady baseball. Day
in and day out he IS continually striv-

silk as a Necessity.

The experts are urging women 10
use silk instead of cotton and wool.
There is bound to be a shortage in
both the latter fabrics. In some
places it is difficult to get wooden jer-
sey skirts and suits. Silk stockings
will replace cotton ones, for every frac-
ton of pound of cotton is needed by
the warning countries. Wool is needed
for uniforms; therefore, women will
have to wear silk. What was once ex-
travagance will now be economy and
patriotism. 1t may be, however, that
the government win forestall this by
using up the silk for its airplanes.

WARD IS NOT APPRECIATED
Would Like to Secure Services Of
Pirate Shortstop.

They have never appreciated Chuck
Ward in Pittsburgh, but any time the
Pirates want to get rid ofshim George
Stallings will chip in. The manager
of the Braves is quoted as saying that
Ward has the malings of one of the
greatest intielders in the game, and
when he says infielder he means that
Ward can play any position on the d.
almond and do it well. Ward is not a
heavy hitter, but he gets them when
they count, as shown by the fact that
he is tied with Max Carey in the mat
ter of driving In Pittsburgh runs.

Some Observations.

The trouble with some folks II
that they don't consider they are
having good time unless they
are making Il nuisance Of them
selves.
Nobody works quite so wei
as the man who has had good
nights sleep.
A man may think he Is hiding
his designations from his en-
ployers but his work tells.
It's easy enough to find
friends In fair weather; the man
with an umbrella to lend when
1t Is raining is the bird.
AS a general rule If the boss
isn't on the job himself the
clerks aren't either.

bigger than they are If all men
had accomplished half the things
they intended TO do.

stew the roll until tender before roast

If desired, the roll may be cooked in

more Of water should be added.
