Chicago. Aug. 2e,-There will be
NJ change in the schedule for the
worlds series unless Harry Frazee,
president of the Boston club, who
protested against its alleged unfair
ness, obtains the consent of the war
department to arrange special trains,
President Johnson of the American
league said tonight. President John

al commission which arranged the
schedule, said it was drafted with the
distinct object of conforming with
the governments transportation
problems. However. l wired Mr..
F'razee that the commission might
consider rearranging it if he got the
permission Of the war department to
run trains as he suggested. 1t was
our idea to conserve transportation
in every way possible. We decided
to abolish the special trains for the
clubs this year and also opposed
special trains for the usual crowd of
rooters. We are even discouraging
Chicagoans from making the trip to
Boston.
The suggestion Of the national
commission that players donate 10
percent of their share of the series
receipts to war charities met with
prompt action with members Of the

tional league. who unanimously vot-
ed to comply with the suggestion.

SMASH 100 ENGLISH TOWNS
 FOR TAKING OUR SHIPS

The destruction of 400 English towns by German airplanes is de- manded by the Berlin Tages Zeitung as "reprisal" for the action of the allies in confiscating 400 German mer- chant ships. In long article on the subject the paper says:
 "If we are in a position to destroy the whole of London it would be more humane to do so than to allow one more German to bleed to death on the battlefield. To hesitate or to surren- der ourselves to feelings of pity would be unpardonable.
 More than 400 merchant ships have been stolen from us by Great Britain. Our answea should be that for every German ship at least one English town should be reduced to ruins by our airmen. Far better were it for us that Great Britain, France and the United States should call us bar barians than they should bestow on us their pity when we are beaten. Softness and sentimentality are stupid in war time"

COOKING DRIED FRUITS

Properly cooked dried fruits are delicious and, quite apart from the difference in expense, are much more wholesome for a steady diet than rich preserves or even canned fruits.
 Apricots, peaches, plums and pears are all prepared by the evaporated process. Use only enameled ware in cooking that cannot be Affected by the acid of the fruit. Put the fruit in an enameled ware saucepan and cover well with cold water. Put on the back of the stove and let it heat slowly and simmer for a couple of hours.
 When the fruit is thoroughly soft, mash with a spoon and let it cook until the water is cooked away enough to make a smooth, rich jam. Add one tablespoonful of sugar to a quart of the jam.
 The peeled fruits, although they cost a trifle more than the others, are as cheap in the end as they re- quire less sugar in the cooking.

CAN'T SEE RED MUCH LONGER

Persons who have been noted for seeing red" soon will have to be sec ing some other color as an expression of anger, according to members of the International Display society.
 If the war continues a number of years, one artist said, red will be a thing of the past. By this he did not mean that Germany was going to in- wade the rainbow, even, but red dye is so scarce that it is all but out of existence now. Much red dye has been used for patriotic buntings and displays, for hannels and for other goods used by the government.
 Our dye supply from Germany is, of course, cut off. And the artists say it isn't being manufactured to any extent in this country, although it may be done later
 War is going to have a marked eff feet on window displays, the display men say. That will be because war goods will be emphasized and because patriotism will be in evidence every where. And some kind of a display that will be visible and attractive on lghtless nights undoubtedly will be devised. The fact that there are watches by which time can be told at night is cited as reason to believe that.
