The tenacity of the red man has
been the subject of song and story
for a good many drifting years.
From Uncas on to Geronimo the
Indian has always been featured
as a tireless cuss, and the dope
thereof was undoubtedly true.
In this respect Charles Albert
Bender. the Chippewa Chief, is a
notable illustration for later copy.
The eminent Chief is not SO old
as years go along the calendaric
highway.
He was born thirty-four years ago
last May. But he was popping that
fast one through for Connie Mack
back in 1908, a matter Of fourteen sea-
sons back, And now, after having
been counted out of the lists. relegated
TO the records of the Main Corral. he
is back again with the old repertoire
intact. romping along at his fastest
speed.
Bender a Wonder.
The Chief is undoubtedly one OF the
games wonders. He was supposed to
have passed the crest and started down
hill back in 1914. when the Braves
drove him in rout from the world
series field.
The year after he went over to the
Feds. where he met with contir-ed
disaster The old stun looked to be
gone forever. Last season he was re-
called to the major circuit. but was
too far below his old form to be OF
any great help.
This last winter We ran across the
Chief down at Pinehurst. where he
was starring in a trap shooting tour
nament-and waiting TO hear that he
had been sent to the minors.
The Phillies let him go. but finally
recalled him, mainly to help tutor
young pitchers.
Few expected to see his name again
among the winners. His best day had
been too far back.
But the call of the wild was too
strong and the lure OF the warpath
was too keen to be resisted. BY hard
work he got back into pitching con-
dition, and then. with the blanket
lifted, he reported for duty. The an
swer is twenty-soven runless innings
three shut-outs in a row-and his
start this last week was a one-hit
game.

Llohsninu Causes Forest Fires.

Records kept for many years show
that out of every 100 fires in the ma
tional forests of Arizona and New
Mexico, 40 originate from lightning. In
northern and central Arizona the pro-
portion of lightning fires runs up to
20 per cent. while in the Manzona for
est. near Albuquerque, only 3 per cent
of the fires are started by lightning.
There is no satisfactory explanation of
this condition. In general. these for
ests bearing big timber and lots of
grass seem TO suffer most, but a no
table exception occurs in southern Ari-
IONA where the proportion runs frora
80 per cent TO 90 per cent in spite Of
the timber averaging smaller and the

Don't Trifle With Truth.

When you repeat something which
someone has told you, be careful to
give it the same meaning as the one
who impaired the information.
Often the change of one word puts
an entirely different meaning to q
story, which leaves a wrong impress
sion.
If you had cataract on one eye,
and you contemplated simple opera
ton in time which would effect cure,
how would you like to hear that you
had "gone blind?"
Perhaps your father has moved his
business to a distant city where there
is an asylum for the insane. Under
these circumstances how would you
like to hear in a public place that
your father had "gone crazy?" Yet
this very thing happened. An incor-
rect information gave the impression
that the man had gone to the asylum
and a stupid friend misconstrued the
statement.
Some people, too, like to add just a
little sensational touch to whatever
they repeat. They think 1T gives pep"

New Idea for Brassiere.

One is apt to think of brassiGres
in terms of plain linen bones and
maybe some strong, coarse lace. Here
is brassiere conception which de-
stroys that idea entirely. 1t is made
of light blue ribbon of a heavy satin
quality. The ribbon is about six
inches wide and single strip is fitted
around the figure, darts being taken
where necessary to insure a snug fit.
In front the ribbon is slightly shirred
into shaped piece of itself so that
the brasSiere comes quite long in front
and is held down By tape and hook
to- the corset. All darts and seams
are finished with hemstitching, so
that there are no raw edges or bulky
seams. Acorss the front is sewed in
garland effect a length Of the wee
chiffon and ribbon-leafed roses which
you buy by the yard. The shoulder
straps are narrow on the shoulders,
but make a V at back and front of the
brassiere. This lace and ribbon on
the shoulders insures an even better
fit than the ribbon straps alone, and
what is more, it covers better when
the brassiere is TO be worn without a
camisole under thin blouse.

Silk Underwear Needs Care.

Every day the number of persons
who wear silk underwear is increas-
ing. There are many women who
would rather do with q smaller sized
wardrobe of outer garments in order
TO afford silk underwear. 1t is true
that one cannot help having feeling
OF being well dressed when one is con-
sciouS of the fact that the foundation
for the top clothing is composed Of
clean and fine underw ear. But the
woman who makes such o sacrifice
should be most careful in the launder-
ing of her silk possessions. Careless
oess in this maeter viii cause the va
rious garments 70 wear out in quick
time.
PerSI dration causes garments of
every material TO wear out quickly,
but those made of silk are much easier
affected than those of other materials.
Therefore, u a person would rinse out
stockings and .undervests as soon as
they are removed. one would find that
they would wear many times longer. II
takes only a few minutes to wash
these things out. and the frequent
washings mean that very little rubbing

Keeps Litter From Floor.

No one knows better than the per-
son whose duty it is to clear it up,
what litter the little folks make dur
ing play time. 1t is therefore quite
well worth while to provide them with
something in which they themselves
may place their waste paper, etc., at
the conclusion of their games. We
give a sketch of a decorative and use
full little article for this purpose that
can be hung upon the playroom wall
at some convenient spot low enough
down to be well within reach of little
hands.
1t can be easily made from any
strong wooden box of the shape iHdi-
Gated in the illustration. The lid is
cut in half and the portion that re-
mains nailed down. The further end
of the box is removed and the sides
cut down. The diagram on the right
at the top of the sketch explains how
this is done, and the dotted lines show
the portion of the box that will not be
required.
The box is covered with easement
cloth, the material being turned over

models show this tiglu upper portion
combined with full pitts or folds
which form sort of tunic.
Indeed at the immediate moment II
may be said that the two most popu-
lar styles, where tailored suits are con-
cerned, are the fitted coats which have
long, full basques, and the blouse coats
which do away with the waistline al
together. The latter style will GER
tainly be popular all through the
spring for girls outdoor costumes.
Is it not charming, the little toque
created by Lucille Hamar which 1 have
sketched this week? This is genuine
Monte Carlo model; exactly the right
thing for wearing ct five o'clock ct the
Hotel de Paris or at the Casino itself
i'll the evening.
The toque was made of black faille
and the cieyerly arranged drapery was
made of periwinkle-blue tulle. Di-
rectly in front, placed high on
the draped crown, there was an ex-
quisite rose made of pastel pink chif-
fon; the little veil, which barely COW
cred the eyes, was made of the
same chiffon, with a picot border of
HACK silk.

Go Far Back for Designs.

The artists in Paris have gone to
the old tones in the libraries to get
designs for primitive embroideries that
suit the kind of clothes wear. They
have drawn from Nineyeh and Tyre
and, one would think, from Sodom
and Gomorrah, in looking at the re-
suits. These designs are generally
classed as Babylonian or Byzantine,
and to the American they are some
what suggestive of the markings found
in the old caves in our southwest land.
Colored worsteds, bullion threads
and silk floss are used to carry out
the designs. There is nothing floriat-
ed about them. The lines are sharp
and strongly silhouetted against the
background. Machine stitching is
sometimes used for this kind of en-
broidery, instead of handwork.
If one has no Byzantine or Babylo.
MAN history to draw from, it would
be interesting to copy the designs from
any bit of our own Indian pottery or
blanket work and see how easily this
scheme of decoration fits in with what
we get from Paris.

THRILLING WITH AFFECTIONS.

When man admireS q woman and
begins to pay her marked attention.

ton to marry. does he stop to con-
slider that he is doing her gross in
justice2 Not he. If women had hearts
that were hard and cold, all might be
we'll The trouble is woman's heart
Is tender and easily touched and i'm
pressed by the man who makes it
pleasant for her. With women, it is
but short step from friendship to
love.
So many young girls write me in
this strain: "a young man has been
calling to see me for many months.
During this time, l learned to care
for him. although he had spoken no
word of love. Suddenly he stopped
coming to see me and is going With
another. My heart is breaking. What
can L do about it?"
That's ii. What can these girls do
about IT? 1t seems impossible for
some girls TO be thrown in contact
with attractive. manageable young
men without becoming the victim of
misplaced confidence, How strange ii
is that men do not think of this. Ac-
tually they court when they have no
thought of marrying. The seriousness
of the affair does not seem TO occur
&c these young men.
In such case, Il young man once
said to me: why do girls give their
hearts unaSked? l have been call
ing on certain girl simply because
she made 1t pleasant for me evenings.

that he is not experiencing the grand
heart throbs at meeting or parting
from her and is Indifferent as 10
whether or not she entertains other
callers, he is not in love. Then the
more quickly he ceases his attentions
to her the better for both it will be.
In breaking away, he is simply giving
someone else who may care for her
a chance. 1t is the man who continues
10 call. even after he has won wom-
ans heart and knows her affection is
hopeless, who should be blamed.
Wake up. young men, think this
matter over, you who are backward in
declaring your intentions. The girl
you visit so constantly has right TO
know why you are coming. The man
who wishes to be friend only SHOULD
limit his calls to one fortnight. It is
cruel to trifle with q woman's affec
tons.
