TREND TO CHINESE EFFECTS
Handbag Now Follows Fashion Which
Made Its Appearance Early In
the Present Season.

The tendency of Chinese effects
which appeared early in the season,
in the special form of evening wraps
and opera coats, is now noticeable in
accessories of daytime wear. For e1-
ample, two interesting Chinese hand
bags have been observed recently.
One was in the shape Of an immense
bean, made Of painted silk-a pure
Chineses conceit. The other, an In.
genioUs conventionalized representa-
ton of things Chinese, was long
tubular bag with four or five fiarfAe
ruffies giving the well-known pagoda
effect. The bag was embroidered with
colored silk and small beads. -.
Bits of Chinese embroidery are seen
as trimming on hats, coats and even
muffs. Green jade bracelets are at
tached to many muffs, as means Of
securing them to the wrist, and
carved ivory figures in handles, hat
pins and other small accessories.

YELLED THE BRIDES TABLE
Idea That Gave Really Novel Effect
Was Feature Of Wedding
Recently Held.

Quite a novel idea was carried out
at recent bridal supper in yelling
the brides table, relates American
Cookery. The table occupied the cen
ter of the room and was surrounded
by small tables for the guests. four
at each. Directly over the bridal table
was an inverted white satin umbrella
of large size having dropping fringe
of artificial orange blossoms. From
the edge of the umbrella there dropped
Il white chiffon veil edged with white,
wide, satin border which concealed the
table, falling nearly to the hem of the
tablecloth.
AS the bridal party of - approached
and surrounded the table the defhpull-
ing of satin cord caused the veil to
rise clowly and form itself into big
puffy pompon affair above the UNI
brella; the effect was very unusual
and very pretty. The lifted veil showed
an unusually elaborate table. The
centerpiece was huge white satin
slipper filled with orange blossoms
standing in the center of an immense
wedding ring of yellow roses. The
wedding cake was in heart-shaped
white-satin boxes. White and yellow
chrysanthemums we're literally used
in the dining room decorations.

If it is desirable to use Young birds
they should be well grown and de.

are used it Is preferable to breed them
to older hens. Old males may be mat

WOULD GO AT ONCE .,, r
TO WAR BREAD BASIS

Washington, April "A suggestion
that American millers might render a
great public service in the campaign
to prevent war shortage of food Ly
converting into flour greater per-
centage of milled wheat, was made IN
an authorized statement by Carl vron-
man, assistant secretary of agriculture,
made public here tonight.
"No step could do as much to in
crease our food supply Immediately"
wrote Mr. Vrooman, "as to put the
nation on a war bread basis.'
He pointed out that while the pres
ent milling standard in this country
converts only about 70 per cent of the
wheat berry into flour, England has
adopted an 81 per cent standard, italy
s5 per cent, Switzerland so per cent
and France II per cent, and all the
belligerents are making bread from
wheat flour mixed with rye, barley,
corn and potato flour.
Tn his statement tonight. Mr.. vroo-
man said an s. per cent milling stand
ard would in effect increase the wheat
supply by 6O.00OOOO bushels and a 90
per cent standard would add 100000
bushels. Use of 25 per cent substitut.
for flour in baking, he added. would
bring the total saving to 125,ooO,o
bushels.
Any resulting shortage in bran.
shorts, and middlings for cattle feed
could be made up by cotton seed meal,
corn meal. tankage. alfalfa. clover,
cowpeas and soy beans. Mr.. vrooman
said. He pointed out that whole wheat

grinding wheat in a small hand grist

BOOKLET ON KANSAS
Rock Island Issues Beautiful Tribute
to State.

Kansas, the state bountiful, where
nature contributes health and wealth
that the energetic homeseeker may
find a haven of independence" is the
cover title of a 35-page folder issued
by the Rock Island railways passen-
ger traffic department. The folder,
profusely illustrated with attractive
cuts, is one of the most attractive adj
vertisements for this state being cir
culated NY railroad
1t begins with citing prirna facie
evidence of the states prosperity
the fact that it is without bonded
debt. A review of the states oppor-
tunities and a copy of Secretary Moh-
ler'S last crop report are included. The
impression gained in some eastern
sections that Kansas is a dry state
from an agricultural standpoint, is
discredited.
Besides a number of other attrac-
tive articles, the folder contains data
and information from the pens of n.
A. Crawford, the head of the indus
trial journalism department of the
agricultural college: Prof. A. M. Pat
erson of the college: G. E. Thompson
of the college faculty, and others.
Besides distribution in other states,
thousands of copies of the publication
are being mailed to farmers along the
Rock Island lines in Kansas. Their
attention is directed toward the i'm
portance of keeping in touch with
the agricultural college SO they may
obtain information that will make ii
possible for them to realize a maxi
mum profit from their efforts and
lands.

ASKS COAL RELIEF
Governor Capper Appeals to
National Defense Council.
Increases in Price of Fuel of
Great Concern Here.

Governor Capper has appealed to
age. In letter to F. S. Peabody.
chairman of the coal production COM
mittee, the Kansas governor declares
that consumers are facing demands
TO. so and 100 per cent increases in
the price of fuel.
The grave situation in Topeka and
in Kansas caused the governor to
direct an emphatic letter to the head
of the defense council committee. Re-
cent statements published in the State
Journal showed price rates out of
proportion with the prices and condi-
tons of Kansas City and other dis
tributing points. While Governor Cap
Kansas consumers. he declares that
end packers in the. filling of contracts
for fuel supplies
No justification can be given the
enormous increases in fuel prices, the
governor urges. He states in his letter
that records show advances of hut IS
per cent in the wage scale to miners,
while in many instances prices of fuel
to consumers has advanced 106 per
cent. Investigation of conditions at
the mines is urged by the governor.
He stated in his letter that enormous
increases in prices ct the mines had
aroused protests from even the rail-
roads and large contractors, who are
3ble to contract for supplies at prices
far below those to the individual, con-
sumner.

JoHNsoN's OFF YEAR?
Kansan Having Hard Time Winning
for Washington Senators.

New York, July 16-The Senators,
sixth place club in the American
league, supply the tragedy of the sea-
son on their record to date.
Possessed of one pitcher generally
referred to as the king of them all,
and holding a generally fair array of
other ball players, the Senators have
scored more runs than any team in the
league.
Cleveland is below the Senators in
the matter of club fielding, but easily
top them in games won.
The answer probably lies in ineffec-
tiveness of Washington pitchers. Wal
ter Johnson is having the poorest year
he ever experienced. Victories simply
cannot go his way. And it is not a
case totally of poor support, for he
has been given some decidedly rough
pastings, having been driven from the
box a time or two.
Johnson nestles far down in the list
of pitchers, something he isn't accus-
toned to. Shaw, Harper and Gallia
! of the Washington staff all top him
in the average column and Shaw and
Gallia have appeared in only four less
games than Johnson.

sublime of baseball to the ridiculous.
The first four innings were rs alright
as torpedo tubes and then the Elks
broke thru with 81 run. No more
scores were made until the sixth when
Sipes began to weaken and the Elks
added three more to their tally row.
In this inning the knights also broke
thru with n score, then in the next
frame the Abbott men got two more
counters and their opponents woke up
sufficiently to score five and drive
Grindell from the mound, tying the
score.

s Simpson, the old Santa Fe star, re-
Feved Grindell and the ninth inning
was scoreless, but both sides got their
driving bats into action in the tenth,
the Elks making four runs while two
were the best the knights could do.

have issued a formal challenge to

ARE RARE TREATS
Unassisted Triple Plays Are
Not Made Very Often.
Phil CoOney Only Western
Lacquer Holding Honor.
BY JACK VEIoCK.

New York. July 16.-Ever see an
unassisted triple play?
If you have, you are one of the very
few fans in the vast army that follows
the national pastime who has been
fortunate enough to witness three
ply killing unassisted.
The unassisted triple play is just
about as scarce as the fuzz on bill
lard ball, and you1l admit that is
some" scarce. In the many years
that baseball records have been kept
there have been ten unassisted triple
plays recorded, and only two of the
ten were made in the major leagues
The records of unassisted triple
plays came in for a lamping recently
when Phil Cooney, second baSeman
of the Sioux City Western league club,
pulled off one of the triple killings
unassisted in game at Denver Coo
ney was playing second base for the
Omaha club, and there were men on
both first and second when he caught
a line drive. He tagged the runner
who was coming from first base when
the ball was hit, and then hoped
back on second in time to retire the
runner who had left that station for
third base
First Western League Play.
Records show it to be the first triple
play unassisted that has ever been
made in the Western league, and the
tenth in the history of baseball. Coo
ney's play was also the first to occur
in five years, the last being made by
Player Foreman, at Kankakee, ILL.,, in
1912.
Paul Hines, of the old Providence
(National league) club, was the first
player in the history of the organized
game to pull off an unassisted triple
play. His history making play was
made at Providence way back in May
of 1873, and there elapsed a period
of twenty-four years before the sec
ond unassisted triple play went on
record. Harry O'Hagan, of the Ro-
chester eastern league) club, made
the second play of this kind at Jersey
City in August, 1902. Aside from
Hines, Neal Ball is the only major
league player to pull off the play Ball
made his unassisted triple play at
Cleveland in July of 1909.
Here is a complete list of unassist-
ed triples with the names of the play
ers and the dates:
