7Ew YORK. Nov. z1.-If your
nj Uncle SamueTs wei known
i navy doesn't annex the highest
honors among cantonment camp
elevens this fall it won't be Cupid
Blacks fault
There is nothing informal about
Blacks eleven, either. for II is just
about as weak and puny as the kick
Of a % centimeter gun and is only
composed Of four or five ex-footbau
captains from some Of the biggest
schools IN the east, and eight or ten
eE-tars from 1916 elevens which
plowed and ripped their way to the
piunaCies Of football fame last fail.
Black Forms Team.
First Of all there is Cupid Black
himself. He is responsible for the
formation OF the team representing
Uncle Sans naval training station al
Newport, and he is its captain
Callahan. Of Yale, is with
Blacks aggregation, and he also
has TIE giant SchIaehter, OF
Syracuse; Jarrett. OF COrnells
Cherish, of Dartmouth and
eight or nine other stars from
various schools, ranging from
Brown and Colgate to Michi-
gan University.
With such an array Of talent for
the formation Of q football team
Black naturally expects to make a
big cleanup in CantOnment camp
circles. and he also has a suspicion
that his team viii be able 10 give
the informal teams Of certain big
schools in the east a few lessons in
football if they meet
If the experts find the selection or
an ali-Auericau eleven a hard task
this fail they might pick Black
team and let if 80 at that for those
who have sized up CupIds aggrega-
ton agree that IL is the closest ap-
prOach 10 an all-American eleven
chat has ever been gotten together.
gTeCrav Quiet Now,
John Joy NcGraw isn't making
any boasts since his Giants lost the
worlds series TO the White SoL. but
he mOdestlv admitted q snort time
ago that he still has the greatest
pitching staff IN the National league
and that he expects his club 20
scamper home ahead Of the Held IN
the pennant race again next sum
mer.
4.Javrus' took occasion also to
predict that Benjamin kauff will
top all hftfers In the National
league next year.
8IcGraw IS certainly well fixed
with pitchers in his own league he
has three OF the best sOuthpaWs IN
the old loop and one of the best
hasn't a one man pitching staff, like
many other clubs, and if he can keep
the fighting spirit Of the Giants up
10 the proper pitch there is no reason
20 believe that he won't give all
corners q hot fight for another PEN
nant
Can Keep Morale.
But that's the question. Can Ne
Sraw keep the morale OF his bali
club up 10 a winning standard aIter
ne treatment they received in the
recent worlds series2
There are a good many New York
fans and critics who rathr expect
that the defeat they took at the
hands Of Comiskey's Sox will work

BALL PLAYERS
MAKE BIG HIT

There Is a class 10 ball players that
tells when they are thrown into the
common herd. Their ability TO adapt
themselves TO conditions. their quick
grasp OF orders, training In team
play and all that count. Every day
almost brings news OF some players
called TO the army being elevated
above his fellows in the ranks. Among
the latest for promotion is Walter
Sm1llwOod. the international leaEue
pitcher taken on by the Yankees only
TO be called to service. He has been
made q sergeant.

at West Point one member Of the
Indiana eleven sprang a new wrinkle
that was both surprising and dis

With the calling Of the numerals,
accompanied by the hopping dance
behind his center. Allison and MS

active as a Broadway chorus, and
manv times before the Army players
knew what had happened they would
have play started
Sometimes Allison used only
one chip" Sometimes he used
two and three. and he often

Woman Suffrage Is
 Indorsed by McAdoo
 in Formal Statement

Washington. October 29.-Secretary Me Adoo tonight issued statement assert ing his belief that women are qualified for the ballot and expressing the hope that they would get it in New York Mir. McAdoo said:
 ''The time has come when suffrage should be given to the women of Amer ica It should be given promptly; 1t should be given ungrudgingly; it should be given gladly. The women of the United States have in every way, espe- cially since this war has broken out, shown themselves qualified for the light of suffrage.
 When America emerges from this war, as she will. with enhanced pres tige and responsibilities to the whole world, women and men alike, must, upon a perfect equality so far as their civil status is concerned. work out the mo- mentous problems of the future as equal partners
 If New York sets such an example to the country of just and progressive action, it will not be long before women realize the benefits of full citizenship in every state of the union."

THE HOUSEHOLD EDITED By ANNE RITTENHOUsE
Swinging Away From Mahogany

SWlnS1ng Away from MdHoSdHy
 There are some persons to whom ma hogany spells good furniture. and if that mahogany be 1o0 years old it would be positive sacrilege to these persons to question it's absolute perfection This point of view is tc be found throughout the land, north and south, east and west among large number of persons. Many of these mahogany lovers have not even the crudest Knowledge of the actual quality of the wood. The color
 is all that they know about it and so
 mahogany answers the purpose Many of them do not realize that among the old est mahogany pieces finish as dark and as brown as that of oak was not infre- quent or that there is a very beautiful mahogany that is as light as maple. But now we are swinging away from mahogany and whatever we think of the new lacquer furniture we may hail it with open arms for having been able to wedge it's favor into popular taste. But, of course the greatest trouble with us is that we all wish to have the same sort of thing at the same time and our furniture reflects the passing vogue rather than our personal taste or hab- its.
 Painted wood, too, has come in for a share of the favor that has just been wrested from mahogany and there IS every reason to believe that painted fur niturc will increase enormously in vogue as time goes on. The great advantage in this kind of furniture is that it can be produced in any color that suits ones fancy and thus variety of which we Americans always have so little in our linteriors-may be achieved by its use. Much of the fine painted furniture is hand decorated to use the term of the furniture dealers, and so great has the demand been for this kind of furniture amop2 what one calls discriminating pur- chasers within the last few months that manufacturers are decidedly handicap ped through the scarcity of men skilled in this sort of work. There is a large field for the manor woman either. for that matter-who could paint over old furniture, for it is often perfectly pos sible by cutting away a little ginger bread here and there and slightly alter ing the lines of a piece of furniture and then painting it, to produce excellent results from pieces that would not fetch the price of kindllng wood at an old furniture dealers. This kind of painting is not of the sort that anyone with brush and can of paint could accom- plish. It requires considerable skill and some little equipment.

 May Be Overcome
A simple, safe and reliable way that calls for no ugly trumpets, phones

 From any drug store get one ounce soc worth. Take this home and put it into simple syrup made of M pint of hot water and four ounces Of or dtnary granulated sugar. Take Q tablespoonful four times day. This treatment should by tonic ac- tion reduce the inflammation in the middle ear that catarrhal condition would be likely to cause and with the head noises. headaches, cloudy think. ing and that dull feeling in the ears should gradually disappear. Anyone who suffers from catarrh. catarrhal deafness or head noises should give Parmint a. trial. It is pleasant to take and Is quite inexpensive.

 With the big red apples the moH familiar charm is that of throwing tN peel over the head; the peel must in one piece, the idea being that tfN parting will so fall as to form the fr& letter of the name of ones futuR husband or wife.

 Girls galore have eaten into big, luscious apples while gazing steadily into a mirror, hoping to see the face of their future husband appear over their shoulder: while equally as many lads have taken advantage of the Halloween superstition, for be it known fhat men are quite as superstitious as women.
 Halloween is night primarily for young folk, and the children look forT ward to it with the greatest degree of pleasure. /
