The baseball world IL all at sea TO find

David Fultz In about. The owners. the
PLAYERS. the writer's and the fans. are
unable, so far, TO provide n ciear-cut
explanation.
President Fultz Of the Players fraterni-
ty. induced 80 percent OF the major league
players TO put their names TO n docu-
ment last fall. whereby they agreed TO
withhold their signatures TO contracts
for next season until they received word
from him.
President Fultx demanded that severe !
changes be made In PLAYERS form OF

commission took up the matter for the
major leagues and made such changes

NOT TO DO WORK OF MEN.

The Boy Scout movement does not
put the idea of killing in the mind Of
Boy Scouts; it does not put instru-
ments of death into their hands.
Uncle Sam does not want boy SOL
diers. Military work is mans work.
There is no reason why the nation
should ask it's boys to become soldiers.
They are needed for boys work.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Maj. Gen.
Leonard A. Wood, the secretary of war,
the secretary Of the navy, the chief Of
staff of the United States army-these
men, seriously concerned with the
proper preparations of our boys for
their full duty as citizens, are officers
Of the Boy Scouts of America.
The boys work in the Boy Scouts
Of America does not include strictly
military drill. The Scout movement
has found a better way to train and
use boys in our country's service in
times like these. The eminent mill
tary men named above, the president
Of the United States, governors, edu-
Gators, pastors, business and profess
sional men know, and have said, that
the Scout movement provides more
beneficial training for boys Of Scout
age than any military" course.

SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
THE RELIGIOUS ELEMENT

The Boy Scouts of America main
tain that no boy can grow into the
best kind of citizenship without recog-
niEing his obligation to God, according
to the constitution and bylaws recent
ly adopted by the fncorpOrators. In the
first part of the boy scouts oath or
pledge the constitution states, the boy
promises, "On my honor will do my
best to do my duty to God and my
country, and to obey the scout law"
The recognition of God as the ruling
and leading power in the universe, and
the grateful acknowledgment of his
favors and blessings, is necessary to
the best type of citizenship, and is
wholesome thing in the education of
the growing boy. No matter what the
boy may be-CathOHc or Protestant or
Jew-this fundamental need Of good
citizenship should be kept before him.
The Boy Scouts of America therefore
recognizes the religious element in the
training of boy, but it is absolutely
nOn-sectarian in its attitude toward
that religious training. Its policy is
that the organization or institution
with which the boy scout is connected
shall give definite attention to his re-
ligiOuS life.

The bill, as finally accepted by the

survey of food resources, and for the
stimulation of agriculture, and re-
stricts drastica1ly the storing of food
stuffs, fuel and other necessities and
speculation in futures. The restrictive
provisions were added by the Senate.

GREY VETERANS HONOR
MEMORY OF THEIR FALLEN

Washington Confederate veterans,
here for their annual reunion, went to
Arlington and paid tribute to the
South's dead. President Wilson and
Mrs. Wilson attended the services,
but the president did not speak. He
received an ovation from the old sol
diers, however, and many shook hands
with him.
The exercises held in the shadows
of the monument erected to the Con-
federate dead by the women of the
Confederacy, were opened with the
sound of the assembly call by the
Marine Band and the singing OF the
"Star Spangled Banner" by special
choir, the old soldiers and the audience
helping to swell the refrain.
Flowers we're strewn on the graves
and special services we're held at the
tomb of the unknown dead and the
grave of Gen. Joe Wheeler.
Gen. Bennett H. Young, past COM
mander-in-chief of the veterans, and
Clark of Florida were the orators.

A steady breeze is blowing from q
certain quarter in the world of fash

guise Of designers, point one way.
Looking in that direction we discover
there is no denying that it is trouser-
ward. From several sources new de-
partures in apparel for the Out-of-
doors woman, have appeared, and she
who plays the role is about to dress
the part whether for work or play.
Among these new things the Rocky
Mountain Suit" takes it's place as the
handsOmest. 1t is made for outings
and all sorts of sports where skirts
might hamper the freedom of the up
tO-date woman. 1t is cut along most
graceful and feminine lines, but it has
little spice in it's makeup a sort of
sOldierly dash and spirit. 1t breathes
an atmosphere of rOllicking fun in the
mountains or woods, afOOt or horse
back, or at the wheel of the motor
car.
The Rocky Mountain suit will ap-
peal to the woman who loves to hunt
and fish and camp out. 1t is thorough
ly practical and is made in khaki or
other equally durable material. The
trousers and leggings are in one and
the coat is shaped much like a riding
coat. It has four very practical pock-
cts, a loose, narrow belt and a collar

sleeves are finished with turned-back

DimitY Erocks for Summer.

In a summer of dress economies the
wearing qualities of dimity hold an ap-
peal, and the best designers have ex-
perimented with this material as we'll
as with gingham. 1t is, Of course,
more sheer and cool than the gingham
and lends itself to a daintier type Of
frock, yet it, too, is best when very
simply treated. The dotted designs
are particularly good, and there are
most likable little line checks and
plaids, all of these being preferred
to the sprigged designs, which, though
quaint and often lovely, do not fit so
we'll into the seasons scheme.
