Real Home Life.

There is no greater token Of respect
and affection than an invitation to en-
ter the real heart and home life of
family. And yet how seldom do we
offer ourselves the relaxation and our
friends and neighbors the pleasure Of
such an invitation? Is guest COM
ing? Straightway we get to work to
clean house from garrett TO cellar; we
cook and bake and stew and fuss and
sigh and work as though some terrible
calamity were about TO befall US, in
stead Of that which should be the most
delightful anticipation. the visit Of a
friend. If the house is clean and fair
enough for our nearest and dearest, why
not for q friend? II dinner is enough
for our nearest and dearest, why not
for our friend? II dinner is ample for
the family, why not for an added guest?
And will not the day and the visit be
more delightful for both hostess and
guest, if the fare is plain and the faces
at the table bright and fresh, not
wearied and flushed as with an added
burden instead Of an added pleasure I?
Can we not learn to offer ourselves sim
cerely and simply, just as We are, in
our everyday clothes and manners, to
those who come to US. Let social inter-
course be frank and frequent and
friendly. Let US be honest and genuine
and fine and courteous in our daily
lives, so when the friend comes he will
find US untroubled and serene, as We
always are, ready to receive the good
thought, the story, the laugh, and to
give him ourselves in return, our best
in conversation, and appreciation, and
that will make the humblest dinner a
feast for kings.

T.P.A. CHALLENGE
 ID BE ACCEPTED Kiwanis Nine to Tackle "Drummers" in Near
 Future

The athletic committee of the I<iwanis club is now arranging the details of a ball game to be played with the crack T. P. A. team sometime in the near flu ture for the benefit of a war cause, yet to be designated. This much was gfv- en out following an informal meeting of the Indians yesterday, in which several of the Braves expressed themselves as being anxious to ''get att that gang of salesmen who have just taken the measure of the U. c. ITS.
 'The T. P. A. ball team is all right, z said Gene Ireland, but when it comes to tackling our undefeated champions. the Indians, they are going to find that it won't be as soft a proposition as their last encounter with their Pullman car rivals. I know, because I have played with both the Kiwanians and the T. P. As"
 Other inhabitants of the local wigwam expressed the same views as Gene and were eager to get an opportunity to again display their prowess on the bat tlefeld at Redwood. It is very prob able that the game will be arranged for some Saturday afternoon this month, as it is known that Manager T. F. As are and Captain Baugh of the T. P. A. s are desirious of playing it at once.

ONLY THREE PAIRS
 PLAY. IN TOURNEY Other Matches to BeDecided cided Today-Nesbitt
 Shows Form

Only three matches, postponed from Monday, were played in the golf tour nament at Roebuck yesterday, all en- tries laying off in preparation for the big day today. In the first flight Val Nesbitt defeated Prince DeBarde- leben by the score of 4 up and to go. The defeat of young DeBardeieben by such a large margin was some what surprising, in view of his recent big victory over V. Q. ProweH, and speaks we'll for the prowess of Nes- bitt.
 In the second flight Gene Brown and Bill Donovan played one of the prettiest matches of the tourney, go- ing to the seventeenth hole before the former gained the decision. George Bondurant was in great form and won from Anglin White AS.
 The second rounds in all flights will be staged this afternoon and all but the semi-finalists will be eliminated. There is much speculation as to the probable winner of the tourney and various forecasts can be heard from different "authoriteS'

The home run work of the amazing Babe Ruth has accounted for s :. least five Red Sox victories-but Ruth can't hit out homers every day. He needs nttle batting help from his mates.
 The Indians weren't reckoned in the pcnnant calculations at the outset of the season because the experts figured that losses through draft and enlistment had about wrecked the team. But Lee FohI took the cogs that were left and worked them into one of the most powerful clubs in either league right now. Those lhNans are just in stride now after be- ing in the rut earlier in the season, and the way they are moving along makes stronger day by day the hope of Cieve- land fans for a :pennant-after more than quarter of century of disappont- ment.
 Not far behind are the consistent Sen- ators and the ever dangerous White Sox.
 It's thrilling spectacle, this Ameri- can league race, and here's the hope that the battle for the pennant will continue to. be a hair-raiser right through the stretch to the finish line.

Yesterday Bill made shoestring catch that electrified hls audience. We've seen him do it so much we got used to it.
