MENELnYss AND MURRAYs.

McEnelly's Singing Orchestra and Murrays Orchestra, will alternate in furnishing the music Thursday even ing at the mid-week social at the Colonial ball room in Fairfield ave- nue, giving an evening of continuous dancing. The McEnelIys were espec- tally engaged for this event, and Murray's is the usual orchestra. Both are very popular and many of their friends expressed the wish to hear both on the same evening to judge of the comparative merits, The contest has the merit of novelty and is sure to attract a big crowd of young peo- pie, but for the music and the danc- ing. No extra charge of admission but an extra good time.

COLOR SCHEME OF CUT FLOWERS
 FOR HOMES

Cut flowers form a very vital part of the house decoration They are so often arranged without the slightest regard to color combinations or to gracefu1ness of outline. I have in mind a doctors wife who arranged a bowl 69 sweet peas on the waiting ta- ble, in the very stiffest manner pos sib9e. The sweet peas were of the. lcyeliest shade of lavender in the prime of their bloom; and tine bowl was of alabaster, a creamy yellow in tone an you imagine a prettier col or scheme? Yet she spoiled it by the arrangement
 Gladiolas-a reddish orange in col or-is one of the most decorative flowers imaginable. It is tall and disnified, and requires a high vase to live in. Stand a drab pottery vase of 1t on the floor with a black lac- quered fire screen for background and note the setting.

Pays Tribute to Work
IN lnaugurating the association
work at the Plattsburg camp, Major
General John f. O'Ryan, of the
New York National Guard, in paying
tribute to the military service rem
dered by the Army Y. NJ. c. A., said:
Military morale is difficult to de-
fine. because so many factors enter
into its makeup. 1t means more
than zeal and enthusiasm. In a SUBJ
stantial manner it is dependent upon
confidence, and confidence in turn
can exist only where efficiency and
dependability obtain. Dependability
is very largely dependent upon moral
character, and so we find that in
war the standard of moral charac-
ter of an army plays an important
part in the attainment or success. In
this field the Army Y. NJ c. \. has
contributed very materially in rails
ing the standards and assisting the
military authorities in their work in

preciated. The Army Y. NJ. C. A. is

Freddy Welsh Does Not

New York. May 25. Freddy
Welsh took hand in the controversy
over the referee for the Welsh-Leon-
ard bout at the Manhattan A. c. to-
day when he instructed his manager
to come to a quick settlement with
Billy Gibson and the club officials
as to who shall be the third man In
the ring on Monday night.
Freddy waxed exceeding wroth at
the idea that he needs protective
referee to help him retain his it'll.
What do they think 1 am-the

worlds champion. and that means
ought to be better than any man in
my class. If there's to be any ad-
vantage I should be able to let the
other fellow have it and still beat
him. Otherwise I'm not deserving of
the title.

A little vigilance now will keep
down the price of food in the en-

Notwithstanding the appeal of
President Wilson to refrain from
taking advantage of the times to
boost prices, it was found recen tly
in a large city of a certain State
where a plan of garden planting had
been inaugurated that there had
been a sharp rise in seeds. Prospec-
tive buyers who demurred at what
they considered to be eXtortiot were
informed that the news prices were
unavoidable on account of the diff
ficulty in obtaining seeds.

Protect the Small Fish.

The State is now Matching fish at
great expense in order to restock the
waters and increase the food supply,
as well as to improve the ffsherman's
opportunities.
In the face of this some thoughtless
fishermen continue the destruction of
small fish, by culling their catch
where, and in such a manner as to
prevent the return of the small fish
to the waters, alive.
Not only is this wanton destruction
causing damage to the fisherman
own interests but it is contrary to
the urgent demand for conserving,
and increasing all food supplies, now
being urged by the President Of the
U. s. and it is useless for the State
to attempt to hatch fish to replenish
such Wilful waste.
The Commission therefore calls up
on all fishermen to help conserve the
fish supply, to cooperate in securing
an observance Of this among their
neighbors and to report all wilfuI
violators.
The law prescribes a penalty Of S25
to 500 for taking or killing Of under
sized fish or emptying nets on shore
or in shallow water, and vigorous
campaign to apprehend and prosecute
violators will be made.
