Desolate Pasture as Site.
A rocky, uneven and generally DESC
late pasture was selected as the only
possible place upon which ball park
could be built. The physical director
thought that possibly, after years
work. something might be made of it.
That was before he knew the engf
neers well. It took just three days to
"skin" off the field, level it, roll it and
put it in condition for play, even to
the building of a fine wire netting
backstop and marking out of the foul
lines with flags.
Place for Boxing.
With the baseball field in operation
it was decided to promote boxing. The
drawback was that there was no place
to stage bouts except the floor of the
nut, and the men who wanted to read
or write wouldn't stand for that. Again
the sergeant was consulted. In three
days he had put UP near the hut as
good a ring as ever held a champion
ship bout.

To be possessed of a head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy.
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter of using little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get a
small bottle of KnOwlton's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little az
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, flufiiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fne and
downy at first-yeS-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and 1t
never fails to stop falling hair at once
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
q few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. sAdv

Much has been written regarding the
wonderful work of the American engi
neerS in France both at the bases of the
United States army and along the
many connecting lines which hook up
the front lines with the sources of
supply. There is, however, another
side to their activity which is just as
praiseworthy, especially as it is
gratuitous and done after ordinary
working hours. 1t is the preparing of
fields or enclosures for the soldier ath-
letes and without which it would be
impossible to hold many of the games
and contests.

NOT POLITE TO TIP PRINCE
John Madden, Horse. Breeder and
Trainer, Gives His Opinion Of
Prince of Wales.

When John E. Madden, the noted
breeder and trainer Of race horses,
was in England some years ago, he
was on a visit to Charlie Mitchell,
who was training for his fight with
John L. Sullivan that was held in
France, when the prince Of Wales,
later Edward VII of England, walked
into the training quarters. Mitchell,
who was well acquainted with the
prince, introduced Madden to him, and
moment later, as the prince saun-
tered away, Mitchell said to the famous
hOrSeman:

John?"
"He's all right" was Madden's re-
ply. ''He's the first man I've met in
England that didn't expect to tip"
The prince overheard the remark
and told the story on himself to all hi.

THREE-MINUTE SHOWER BEST
Says Do Not Stay Under Water
for Long Period.

''Do not stay under the shower too
long," That is the expression used
many times by Harold Kruger, worlds
champion in the 1O0-yard back stroke,
when in training. Kruger is a swim
mer, an oarsman and an all-around
athlete.
According to Kruger more than five
minutes under the shower saps your
strength.
According to the backstroke cham
pion, the athlete should turn on the
warm water first, and three minutes
with soap is enough. Cold water
stimulates all the vital activities by it's
effect upon the nervous system. Kru-
ger says that after the shower the ath-

coarse towel, until the skin fairly

club figured Hank would be a big card
for it after the war. Stallings fig

for the Braves. So there you are. Any
way the story Of the offer for Gowdy,

features:
Stallings laughed at the offer for
Gowdy, despite the comment, freely
offered, that he was crazy to pass up
such easy coin for a player in the
trenches. But the Georgian, by so
doing, saved the Braves thousands and
thousands of dollars. For when the
boys come marching home Hank will
be much-worshiped hero, and he will
bring in many, many thousands of dol

today for $4,000.

"Hello," called Hattie, in elephant

"Well, how about some tricks to-

And all the children gathered

the keeper, going into Hattie's zoo
home.
Hattie didn't answer but made a
tiny little noise, and taking her great
trunk, Knocked off the keepers hat.
All the children laughed, and the
keeper said: II guess you feel like
doing some tricks today, all right,
said the keeper, as he put his hat on
once more, and no sooner had he put
it back on his head than with another
swing of her trunk and a funny little
