Inconsistency" Is Greatest
Trait of Famous Joey Ray

1t is quite likely that Joie Ray
will never break the world record
for the mile, set couple OF years
ago at 4.12 3-5 by Norman Tabor.
1t is fair TO assume that he will
never be able to excel his own rec
ords at the mile and a half or two
miles. Ray possibly has trotted
over the distances as fast as he
ever will trot.
But m his few years on Ameri-
can tracks Ray probably has run
the mile oftener under 4.20 indoor
and outdoor than any other miller.
He il perhaps the most consistent
distance runner the world has ever
seen.
Not long ago, at Boston, Ray
won the two-mdle in comparative
ly slow time. Probably he could
have run faster, but he was not
pressed.

READY FOR
MICkY KING

Frank Farmer will be in much
better condition when he meets
Micky King. Australian sensation,
next Thursday night than he was
two weeks ago when he knocked
out Steve Reynolds.
Chef Mcintyre, athletic instruc-
tor for the Smelter A. c., says that
Farmer has developed wonderful
ly in the past week or so. Farm
er gave a little private exhibition
Sunday fCs some of his friends,
and the audience was surprised at
the evidence of Improvement in
his physique and form.
Farmers past training for
fights has been conducted in the
woods, without comp etent instruc-
tors to handle the work. The
logger-boxer has been training at
the Smelter gymnasium for three
weeks, and he has been getting
some of the best coaching that
man could find in the west. For
Mcintyre has spent his entire life
in athletic instruction and he Is
giving Farmer the very best OF
his knowledge and experience.
Mick King may be the coast
champion and may claim the Aus
tralian middleweight title, but his
record isn't frightening Farmer
bit.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

The easiest way to wash a bean pot
is to invert it in a pan which Is partly
filled with water in which a spoonful
of washing powder has been dissolved.
Place it on stove and as the water
boils, it will be sucked into the pot
and then come out. When the other
dishes are washed the bean pot will
need only a final rinsing to make it
clear and shiny.
If ra1sins are washed in hot water
before grinding for cookies or cake
they will not stick or settle.
An ordinary window shade with
spring roller is convenient to hang be-
fore shelves in kitchen or pantry that
have no door. One jerk will draw the
curtain up quickly and it keeps in
place better than those made of cloth.
A rubber door mat before a sink
Is restfuI to the feet and saves stains
on floor.
The pudding preparations OF flavor
ed corn starch are excellent to use in
cake or cookies. A tablespoon being
good proportion for ordinary sized
cake. 1t makes the cake lighter and
saves the cost of flavoring extracts.
Iput rolled oats through the grind
er and fill several glass preserve jars,
then it is ready when I use my sub
stitutes. I then grind the pieces of
cracker that are always left in the
bage or boxes and find the crumbs
convenient when wanted.
Cold water and lard will remove
wheel grease from cloth, if the article
is afterwards washed in cold water.
When turning the hem of a very
thin gown, if the hem is first gathered
and pulled softly in place it will not
ream nor pull.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-08-17
FOOTWEAR

American women pay no atten-
ton to Paris notions in footwear. 1t
Is the one item of costume that Paris
is unable to dictate about. Whatever
sort of boots and slippers they are
wearing in Paris, Fifth Avenue and
Broadway wear the boots and slip
pers that please them best. Ameri
can women are more conservative in
taste about footwear than French
women are-so, at least, it seems to
Americans who believe, and perhaps
with good reason, that there are no
pr ettier, smarter, more comfortable
foot coverings than those manufac-
tured right here in our own United
States.
For instance, in Paris just now the
ultra chic afternoon slipper is a
hybrid affair combing a barefoot san
dial and a Louis Quinze dancing slip
per in it's makeup. So little leather
is there above the sole that the stock
ing-foot seems to rest on the high
heeled sole, held in place by various
sandal straps, crossing instep and
heel. Not to be compared for neat
ness and prettiness with the trim kid
pump of American women is the gay
sandal affair now the fancy of Paris.
Instead of the smart patent leather
Oxford, favored by we'll dressed Amer
lean women this summer, the Paris
iennes are wearing with promenade
frocks a strap slipper, the toe cut
away until it is scarcely more than a
tip over the stocking foot, and the in
step strap tied with a ribbon bow at
the front-quite destroying, in Ameri-
can opinion, the graceful line of the
| instep. Paris and America are
agreed, however, upon the question of
fall boots. Tops are to be rather low
to conserve leather. buttoned styles
are to be in favor, and the convenient
and we'll beloved button spat of cloth
takes its place again in fashion s
train. Taupe spats and gaiter boots
are most favored in Paris just now
Next comes shades of gray and two
tone boots and Oxfords in taupe or
gray are correct.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-08-17

Is good, and although her figure Is
very slight her face is rounded and
her color excellent. Madame, there
fore, skilfully contrived to round out
the slender figure by adopting the
loose coat design, which draped over
the tight vest, gave a very becoming
breadth to her figure.
This suit Is of tan duvetyne, COM
bined with dark brown trimming to
create a striking contrast. Mink fur,
of generous width, makes the large
collar and cuffs.
A top coat" effect Is created by the
loosely falling bodice under which is
seen the pointed vest. The bodice is
Of tan duvetyne, embroidered in dark
brown. But the waistcoat is of dark
brown satin, as are also the two sash
ends, which are draped from under
and are edged with the brown en-
broidery.
The skirt is a two-piece affair. The
full length skirt is fairly tight, con.
forming to the standard or the new
fashion in skirts. The tunic, however
is quite full, falling IN many graceful
folds from the waistline under the
vest. This is absolutely essential, as e
narrow tunic coming next to the tigh
| little vest would give an appearance
| of tightness and skimpiness around
| the waistline.
There are several very interesting
! features about this particular costume
| that make 1t worth special considera
ton. Miss Ellis seemed to fit into i
so we'll that she brought out it's bes
points.
In the first place, this is a particu
larly graceful model for the tall, THU
figure. The loose coat effect over thu
| tight vest makes it trim in appearance
yet adds fulness to the figure at ex
actly the needed places. Then, thu
several bias" lines break up the ex
treme height of the tall figure. Their
| is the diagonal line across the front o
| the waist, the pointed ends Of thu
vest, and the broken skirt line which
| the tunic effects.
The touch of dark mink fur a
throat and cuffs softens the who'll
costume, for tan is a rather hare
| color, made beautiful only by the in
PRODUCTION of a darker, warmer tone
A large fiat hat is necessary to thi
frock to add to the breadth of fgur
which it develops. The hat is of tai
Georgette to match the color of tn
costume, its sole trimming being
dull gold flower.
