games, races and marches followed in

ANCLESEA

On Tuesday last the following big
fishing boats came in with fair catches
for fret part of the week: Jacob Ock-
ers, $50 barrels; Harvey, 100; Clara, 100;
Leonora, $50; Edith Louise, 125. All
of these catches were weak fish, which
are selling wholesale this week at $50
per barrel of 200 pounds. Sea bass are
bringing $35 wholesale. The fishing
smacks brought In go barrels of sea
bass on Tuesday. The hauls Of the
pound fisheries on Tuesday amounted
to as much as 400 or 500 barrels, chief
ly butter fish. Large butter fish are
quoted now at $50 wholesale per bar
rel; and mixed butter fish at SIS. On
Wednesday the pound fishermen went
out to lift their pockets, but were un-
able to do so because of the huge waves
raised up by a miniature northeastern.
About 200 barrels were probably lost,
as the fishermen were sure the fish
pockets would be ripped open by the
waves, thus giving an opportunity for
the submarine prisoners to escape.
Last Tuesday at IL a.. m the fire
company was called out to %extinguish
a fire that had been started in some
way in a grass plot at the corner of 5th
and Pennsylvania avenues. A SINH
lar call was made to put another grass
fire out on FIRST avenue. Chief of
Police Thompson in hurrying to this
second blaze. sat on the rear end of
Harry Nidorf's delivery truck. After
the police officer was comfortably seat
ed, Nidorf cut loose, and his Ford fair
ly blew out First venue. On arriving
at the burning grass patch, Nidorf
turned around in his seat to compli-
ment Thompson on the good speed they
made in rushing to the blaze, when
the driver was struck with fear and
establishment to find the policeman
missing. He had been jolted out on
the way, but ~miraculously escaped ser
ious injury, it was found later. There
seems to have been a remarkable cpl
demic of grass fires lately. On Tues
day, July 23d, a grass fire at nth we
nue. and the railroad, resulted in the
loss Of a burned fishing net valued at
$500. The very prompt arrival of the
fire laddies saved wreck and ruin to
many other nets spread out On the va
can't space in that vicinity. A spark
from a passing locomotive was respon-
sible for this fire.
A new public comfort station has
just been completed on the board walk
at 18th street. This was a great public
necessity and should have been con-
structed long ago.

OF MILITARY TYPE
Jersey, Gabardine, Serge, Cotton,
Crash or Linen Materials.
Made With One Short and One Top
Coat-SmaII, Close Reefed Hat
Should Be Worn.

For travelling, especially on a long
trip by motor, a suit like that in the
sketch would be an admirable selec-
ton. It may be developed in any one
of a number of fabrics, such as jersey
cloth, gabardine, heavy serge and 9th
er prOcurable wool materials, and cot
ton khaki cloth, crash or linen. Khaki
cOlOred gabardine was chosen for the
suit as designed. 1t is decidedly mill
tary in cut and finish. 1t is made with
two coats, one the suit coat proper
shown on the figure, the other a top
coat that is virtually full length, and
In cut and finish an exact replica of
the short suit coat.
The skirt, ankle length, buttons at
the side front, and the sleeves, as will
be noted, are finished with a row of
buttons from wrist to elbow. A small
close-reefed hat should be worn with a
suit of this type, and of course the ac-
companying blouse should be plain and
mannish. Washable satin and crepe
de chine are excellent selections for a
tailored blouse, as these materials
Iaunder well and easily, and of course
do not rumple as quickly as linen or
most of the cotton fabrics.
Suits have been tremendously popu-
lar this spring, the strictly tailored,
plain models perhaps leading in sales.
Elton jackets have had a variable ca
reer. They started off with a rush,
slowed up a little, and then gained
new momentum. 1t is interesting now
to note that one of the style leaders
of America, who is especially well
Known as a pace setter in tailored
suits, announces that he will offer

Red Cross Sale by the Bellevue
Children

Last Saturday, from 10 a. m. to $50
p. M, four children of the Bellevue
apartments on .26th street, near the
arch, conducted a sale of their W de-
sign for the benefit of the Red Cross
association. The tables on which the
various articles to be sold were placed,
stood in front of the Bellevue and close
to the pavement, so that passers-by
might be conveniently attracted by the
alluring display. Robert Latimer had
baked a large layer cake for the youth
full workers, donating same for the good
of the cause. On top of the white ice
ing or frosting appeared a red cross,
skillfully placed thereon by the use Of
some harmless coloring matter. The
Lafayette hotel donated a big fancy
fruit cake; the keystone a number of
bottles of pickles and olives; the Savoy
a batch Of canned goods, and Clayton
a quantity Of candy. Photographer
Pott gave a half dozen tickets, each
one good for six cabinet size photo
graphs. There were many other pres
e%ntations. and the snug sum of 500 was
realized from the sales and turned over
to the Red Cross committee. This sale
was originated and conducted by Eve
Ign Gugenheimer, aged 10; Mary Will
liams, IL; Maurice Pfeffer, s; and
Harold Koshland, IL. The fattering
success of this little enterprise betokens
the promise Of bigger things when they
grow up and take hold Of business
affairs.

American Mills Are Urged
to Manufacture Peanut vi;
Good Market for By-Products

1t is possible with the use OF I'M
proved machinery for cleaning, she'll
ing and pressing peanuts, TO make a
high grade of oil in American mills
which is well suited for use in COOK
ing. according to the United States de-
Dartment of agriculture. Before the
WAR, cut off practically all imports OF
French and Dutch peanut oils, the
United States was importing nearly
100000 gallons year at an average
price for all grades, including soap
stock, of more than half that OF
edible olive oil. Specialists of the de-
partment state that American oil mills
should prepare to make this oil at
home both to utilize the large peanut
crop and to increase their profits.
Peanut oil mills, the specialists say,
should be located where the farmers
can profitably grow the Spanish type
of peanuts, which are high in oil con-
tent and have less shell than the larger
Virginia varieties. The mills should
be equipped with peanut cleaners, ana
all the nuts, after going over screens
to remove the stocks, stones and other
trash, should be thoroughly secured.
For the by-products obtained in the
manufacture of peanut oil there is a
growing market especially for the
press cake, which stockmen now real
lie is very high-grade cattle feed.
There is also demand for flour made
from hull-less peanut cake for human
food, and there is no reason why 1t
should not become a popular article
in human sustenance, the specialists
say.
With the manufacture of high-grade
peanut oil for cooking and shortening,
the manufacture of hull-less peanut
cake for human food and peanut-hull
cake for stock feed, the millers can
utilize all of the peanut crop to best
advantage.

himself still the military genius Of old,
starvation forced his retreat.
And so it will be in all ages and
for all times A well-nourished body
means victory, whether in civilian or
military pursuits, while a hungry per-
son can neither fight nor work.
This country has been asked to save
wheat, meat, fats and sugar. Why?
Wheat is the grain most easily trans
ported. tt takes up less space and
does not spoil Europe knows nothing
of handling cornmeal and, even if she
did, it would do her no good, because
corn easily spoils. Wheat does not.
The sugar shortage in Europe has been
caused by lack of transportation, hence
it is up to America to get this neces-
sary food to them in our own ships and
from our own supplies.
Fats are vital in making ammunition,
such as nitroglycerin, and in keeping
the soldiers in warmth producing food.
The chief reason why so much stress
is laid upon the saving of pork is be-
cause it is the easiest kept and con-
tains nourishrnent and fat. Pork prod
ucts, such as bacon and hams and
shoulders, may be kept for an indefi-
mite period, whereas other meats will
spoil unless they are kept upon ice.
Refrigerator ships cannot be had, ex-
cept in limited numbers, hence it is de-
sirable to transport only those supplies
which take up the least cargo space
and with the minimum risk of spelling.
No man or woman in this country
would refuse starving person a slice
of bread, but this is, indirectly, what
we are doing. The allies are holding
back the German hordes while the
American armies are preparing. Yet
these people are in want; their chill
dren are suffering from lack of proper
foods and if we refuse to give up
some of our pleasures of taste that
their sufferings may be relieved, we
are placed in the same position as one
who has plenty yet will not give to
the hungry.

PRAYER OF THE ARMY MEN

At the going, when we stumble up the
gangway to the ship,
While we wish, and curse the wish, that
we could stay;
On the channel, as we watch the yearn-
ing cliffs of England dip,
Help us, Lord. to hide our sickened hearts
away!
On the marches-oh the marches with
the blisters on our feet,
When our kits weigh not much less than
half a ton,
And our one idea of heaven is place to
sleep and eat
Give us strength, Lord, till our thirty
miles are done!
Through the weary, starlit vigils when we
guard the sleeping tents,
When they huddle gray behind us In the
gloom,
Bid us challenge every phantom that our
fear of death invents;
Keep your ears alert to hear the creep
ing doom!
In the trenches, with the bullet-ridden
earthworks squirting dust,
And the peering rifle muzzles splitting
flame:
In the sweating bayonet charges, with the
thrust and wrench and thrust,
Hear us when we, dying. call upon Thy
name!
In the winning, in the losing, in the
triumph, the despair,
Re we yictors or the holders OF defeat,
Keeps us mindful of the honor Of a ma
ton that we bear;
Let our souls, Lord be above the fate we
~ meet! k

MAGNATES BROUGHT
ON HEAVY EXPENSES
High Cost of Major League Ball
No Fault of Players.
Club Owners Formed Habit of Spend
ing Money Like Sailors on Shore
Leave for Stars of Game
Also Built Fine Parks.

The high cost of baseball, as 1t APP
plies to the major leagues, is being
felt more heavily than ever before by
the men who control the game.
There has been a great deal of dis
satisfaction expressed by some Of the
club owners over the expense of rum
ming big league ball club for the
past three or four years, but since
Uncle Samuel tossed his chapeau into
the big ring 1t has grown stronger.
Yet, in reality, the magnates have
little leeway to yelp for with the ex-
ception of adverse influence caused by
the Federal league they are alone to
blame for the fact that operating ma
jor league clubs costs like sixty.
The players are not responsible for
the fact that the club owners formed
habit of spending money like sailors
on shore leave for the stars Of the
game. They are not to- blame because
certain clubs or club owners were will
ing. to pay big, fat salaries to their
headliners. And it is no fault of the
player that he has come to expect
these things in the big show.
Baseball has grown to be the great
est of sports. 1t is the most popular
pastime and recreation of the Amerl-
can public, and the mags have made
it what it is. They have made it q
strictly commercialized sport that is
very much in demand, and as in any
other business, the club owner who
makes the biggest hit with his public
is the one who gets the gravy.
There hasn't been a major league
ball park built within recent years
that was not built to accommodate a
worlds series crowd. That is the aim
Of every club--to get into worlds
series. But fine parks, high salaries
and spirited bidding for the services
of the stars of the diamond are the
work of the club owners alone, so why
should they yelp?
Baseball is red-blooded sport and
a cold-blooded business. 1t has been
built up to a standard level and it
must be kept there. SO what's the use
of the magnate ouching over the high
cost of 1t? He doesn't lead the worst
life in the world by whole lot.
