THE OTHER ANGLE
Non-Essentia1s
BY KIRK MILLER.

Because our railroads were suner1ng
| with pneumonia of the transportation
and were so intoxicated with carloads
of high heels, monocles and feather
| boas, the government chucked them
all into a class of non-essentials ana
forbade their manufacture until after
| Pershing has skated up the Rhine. TOO
much bituminous was being evaporated
| in manufacturing them and still more
was heing inhaled in hauling 'em.
Ever since the government introduced
the new ground rules for the indus
tries the knitters of wrist watches and
antique vases have been knitting their
brows in an effort to finger-print them
selves into the essential class-but
they have only twisted their propellers
and busted their Maxim silencers.
French heels are not absolutely nee
essary to the trampling down of the
Germans, although many Poilu is
ambitious to pilot the heel that kicks
the kaiser for a field goal.
Asbestos shingles are not being worn
on the bottoms of the governments
new merchant marine. SO the gent who
mikes the dough for them might just
as We'll start mixing reinforced con-
crete for the hulls.
Automobile goggles and soup strain
ers won't stop German machine gun
confetti any more than billiard balls
viii absorb split milk, so the markers
or these important war paraphernalia
had better start to spinning masks or
churninS some liberty motors.
Vacuum cleaners look very coy
caressing the velour seats of Pullman
car, but they don't have any administer
floor tides in no mans land, nor can
you expect one to inhale all the German
bullets that cavort over the Chemin des
Danes.
The kaisers head is supplying all the
vacuum power needed on the wrong
side of the Atlantic.
Then again, we could easily dispense
with toupees, curling irons and eye
brow pencils without throwing such an
awful crimp into this war business, al
though we believe William Hohenzol-
lern uses some sort of embalming fluid
to make his mustoche curl upward
when all his habits curl the other way.
Among the implements of peace which
we believe the war could do without are
piano forks, parquet flooring, peanut
casters. Persian rugs, picture frames,
pickle forks and pinochle decks. The
latter may get into the essential class
on the strength of their being essential
to fighting. for every pinochle habitue
has got to be fighter before he can
work a delayed meld.
Making ice cream cones is hardly 60
ing to cajole the Germans into recogniz-
ing Miss Democracy or any of her big
colaters, colanders and thermos bottles
are to be depended on to assert the
freedom of the seas, the old Atlantic
will continue to be a fine summer resort
for U-boats and mine layers.
BY essentials the government means
products that have a direct bearing on
the winning of the war, but how some
of these industrial majordomos figure
the holes in doughnuts, brown derbies,
palm beach suits and tortoise shell
spectacles as necessary that the coun-
try might live, is more than we have
the brain power to unravel.
p. S.-W. S. S. are essentials!

McGILL AFTER LAJOIE.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, February z7.-
James c. McGill, owner of the Indian
apolis base ball club Of tho American
Association, has arrived here from
Florida, to take charge of the hunt for
a manager for the Indians to replace
Jack Hendricks. now with the st. Louis
Nationals Owner McGill said the only
offer for the place he had made was to
Larry Lajoie and that he still had
hopes of obtaining the F'renchman. who
in addition to managing the Indians
would also play first base.
Hattiesburg, Miss, is being considered,
Mr.. McGill said. as a place of train
ing for the Indianapolis club. but If tho
team did not go that far south it prob
ably would spend ten days or two
weeks at French Lick. In any event
Mr.. McGill said the team would spend
week training with the Indiana Uni
versity nine at Bloomington McGill
said the opening date of the American
Association is in doubt.

Prominent Billiardist Suggests These
Pocket Billiard Players Meet
in Benefit Match.

A prominent local pocket billiard
and billiard player this morning offers
a suggestion for what would undoubt-
edly prove the most popular match
Of the year for the benefit of the am
bulance fund. Here is the suggestion
in the words of the player:
"Why do you not offer the sugges-
tion in your columns that Frank
Sherman and George Wheatley meet
in a pocket billiard match for the
District championship; that admission
be charged. and that all receipts be
devoted to the ambulance fund. No
body doubts that Wheatley and Sher-
man are the two best players in
Washington, and match between
them would draw big galleries. If
they were to stage a eoo-ball match, to
be rolled in four nights-two nights at
the Grand Central and two nights at
the Royal-there is no doubt in my
mind that exceptional crowds would
turn out and considerable money be
thus derived for the ambulance fund.
How about it, George Wheatley?
How about it, Frank Sherman?
