to drill in the armory over the grocery

JOY FOR THE MEN AT TEA
Some Good Samaritan Has Invented
Oval Saucer That Safely Holds

Any man who knows that, sooner or

dainty trifie of pastry. The thing was

We, the reluctant and unwilling, are
all strangely alike at these functions
and we have all been embarrassed by
the old-fashioned saucer. Circular in
shape, and hardly larger than the cup

Odd Indian Foot Race.

A foot race among the Tarahumare
Indians Is a most picturesque scene,
especially after nightfall, when the
course is Lit up by flaming torches car
ried by the eager friends of the run
ners, who steadily pursue their way,
the only silent people in the excited
crowd. How In this weird fitful light
the men contrive to keep the ball in
view Is mystery. One would think
that so small an object would be lost
in the tiickering torchlight; but In
dians have wonderful eyes as well as
wonderful muscles, and somehow the
ball survives all perils and is there at
the finish.
In these races the runners receive no
prizes, but only honor and glory and
the admiration of the women, which
no doubt fully repays them. 1t is,
however, customary for those who win
wagers on the race to give some part
OF their winnings to the men who have
won; but this is optional.

WHERE "PEP" WAS NEEDED
Secretary Daniels, Discussing Eff

Secretary of the Navy Daniels is a
firm believer in speeding up. Eff

enough for him. And he was discuss
ing efficiency and high speed. He
wants to cut out red tape.
Discussion is we'll and good" said
Secretary Daniels, "but the main ques-
tion is whether it is idle talk or not.
Is it practical or is it foolish? Is it
like Torkins and his girl?
"Torkins, by the way, was out with
his girl during the days before the au-
tomobile, when young man who
wanted to be popular would call on
his girl with horse and buggy to take
her for a drive. You know, the faster
the horse the better the impression.
"Torkins, on his first call, took the
girl for a long drive, and when they
found themselves In the midst of a
country road, he ventured for kiss.

good would kiss do?

MARKEN ISLAND OLD STYLE
Ancient Manners Are Still Observed
and Historic Costumes Are Worn
by the Inhabitants.

Marken island is bit of the old Hol-
land, an inlet lying in the Zuyder Zee
not far from Edam, of cheese fame.
Holland is rapidly becoming modern
lied nowadays; the blue bloomer of
the canal boatmen has gone the way
of the wooden shoe, well toward OBJ
liviOn, although the latter, it is said,
Is becoming increasingly popular with
the price of leather soaring, writes
Niksah. The Dutch are rapidly aban-
doning the old ways that endeared
them to the artists Of bygone genera.
tions, so that any spot where the tradi.
tional customs are still preserved is
worthy Of note as living museum of
history.
Such spot is Marken island, where
old manners are still followed and the
old costumes still worn. Separated by
only narrow channel from the pro-
gressive mainland, it is none the less
fifty years behind the times. It seems
to be characteristic of small islands
that they progress much more slowly
than mainland whence their people
came. Thus in the Arran islands off
the coast of Ireland the old Irish
tongue is still spoken; in the Hebrides
men still live as they lived in the days
Of Scott, and on Marken island the
men still go down to the fishing boats
in boomers and wooden shoes.
The dark blue bloomer Is the mark
of the married man, while the single
men wear white-a somewhat illogical
arrangement in view of the facilities
for laundry work that married men
ought to have. The women wear the
old-time costumes and carry their
knitting about with them on the streets.
Every one of the houses is exceeding
ly small and almost unbelieEably clean.
There are not more than 300 people all
told in this little colony os fishermen.
Marken Is quaint and ol6-fashioned,
but it lacks the touch of self-uncon-
sciousness to make it perfect. In all
the little shops you can purchase pic
ture postal cards depicting scenes that
are quaint" and typical" And when
region begins to realize that 1t is
picturesque 1t has taken the first step
on the road to the commonplace.

was in German West Africa he lost

won, and to his amazement found that

the Rev. DIR. John Henry Jowett, has
received from the Westminster Con-
gregational Church, OF London. DR..
Jowett told the congregation Sunday
he had received calh accom-
panied by representations OF such
grave character that he must give II
serious consideration.
1t was said by members of the con-
gregation that the representations
referred to by DR.. Jowett were per-
sonal appeals from Premier Lloyd
George and the King. DIR. Jowett
came to the Fifth avenue church
from Carrs Lane Chapel, Birming-
ham, after refusing two calls during
the preceding eighteen months, and
II was rumored at the time that the
influence of Lloyd-George had been
exerted to keep him in his native
land.
King George also personally as
sured the Birmingham clergyman of
his personal interest and good
wishes, an unprecedented occurrence
in the case of a noncomformist
clergyman.
