'Swell, now, call that downright
foolish" said dear old grandmother
pointing to a group Of white-clad hg-
ures on F street.
People do take awful risks, now,
don't they?" she appealed to a woman
with her. Look at that. Those men
wearing their Palm Beach suits al
ready"
Sure enough, a small group of men
dressed all in white, stood basking in
the warm sun.
The thermometer registered several
degrees higher than It has for many
days, but there was brisk breeze
blowing and the old lady seemed
within her rights in criticising the
wearers of white.
She, herself, was still clad in tie
common sense garments usually worn
by those of other years. The heavy.
flannel underskirt peeping from be-
meath a thick black skirt spoke OF
preparedness" for a setback in the
weather.
.As-the old lady drew near the white
clad group she stopped talking to look
more closely. She saw they were
white wings"
She was quiet for several minutes.

GOODBYE TO SOLDIERS
Auburn Gave Her Boys Big Send Off
at Emerson Hall.

farewell reception for the soldier
boys of Auburn was held at Emerson
hall with very large audience pres
ent. The people in this community
are interested in the boys who are
going to the front. While there was
an undertone of sadness in the meet
ing, yet it seemed everybody felt the
boys were doing the right and pat
riotic thing in offering their lives at
their country's call.
The meeting was a community af-
fair, directed by members of the Red
Cross chapter. A lively program was
prepared and presented in the true
American spirit. This consisted of
patriotic songs and addresses.
Miss Hattie Woods of Anderson
county, the new rural high school su-
perintendent, gave a very appropriate
address to the boys and to the com
munity, speaking of her+sown brother
as chaplain at the front and closing
her remarks with Kipling's advice to
his son, which struck a deep chord
in the hearts of all present.
This was followed by a short ad-
dress by Rev. Showalter.
| After this the ladies who had pre-
pared for the occasion, served ice
cream and cake. These were served
free to the first table, consisting of
| the young soldiers, the old soldiers
the ministers and other invited guests
All others paid to help with the
| necessary expense of the meeting

GIANTS EASE UP NOW
McGraw Is Printing His Men for the
Big World Series.

New York, Sept. 11.-Figuring that
the Giants are 'in," John McGraw has
begun to ease up a slight bit. The
pennant, so far as McGraw and the
rest of the Giants are concerned, is in
the strong box.
Charley Herzog, delicate second
baseman of the coming National
league champions has been sent home
to rest until the Giants begin putting
the finishing touches on their worlds
series plans. Jimmy Smith is doing
the second basing while he is gone.
IN the event Smith isn't capable of
holding down the job as he should be
and Zimm erman can be switched to
second and Hans Lobert stationed on
third, a combination that isn't far be-
hind some of the best.
The effect of this sudden change in
| lineup was noticeable in the Giants
play when they managed to tumble
| around the Polo grounds like a couple
| of novices and lose couple games to
| Brooklyn. Some decidedly bad plays
were committed but 1t probably was
| due more to the change in batting
| order and lineup than to a streak OF
| bad baseball.
| The White Sox are getting some
rest, merely sitting back and watching
the Red Sox. They still have some
| more days to think it over before they
| strike Detroit in their next series.
