coming up, it looked like cinch bel
for q run. but the Griffs were reckon
a sensational catch by Chapman.
= Ray Chapman Stars.
With the ,infield pulled far in to
make aiplay at.the plate on Judge,
Rice popped q foul twenty feet back
OF third. Chapman turned turtle and
after; . great sprint pulled the ball
down. a stellar effort.
AS for Menoslxy, Uhle did his part
by putting over two called strikes,
on which Nike kicked Justify, and
then he swung Viciously at a third
strike. But then Menosky had his
strike-out clothes on, for Hi Jasper
famed him the first time. walked
him the second and famed him the
third.
II was this exhibition Of pitching on
Uhle's part that won him the words Of
praise from Manager Speaker, coupled
with his ninth inning performance in
which he got the Griffmen in order,
thanks to another sterling catch on
the part Of this fellow Chapman, who
dashed far out into Graney's terri
tory for Picinich's fly. robbing him of
what appeared to be a cinch hit
The story Of the pinch hitting is just
as readable as that about the twirI-
ing. When the Indians went to bat
in the ninth the score was knotted at
three runs all and then pinch play
ers," whom Manager Speaker had in
serted in the lineup in the last half
Of the seventh and the first Of the
eighth, proceeded to manufacture the
winning counter. Chef Thomas, sub
bling for Steve O'Neill behind the bat,
worked Eric Erickson for a pass.
George Uhle, who had replaced Hi
Jasper on the firing line, sacrificed
Judge and Janvrin, barely retiring the
speedy Uhle on his neat bunt.
Harris Delivers Kick.
Then came Joe Harris who had
batted for Jasper in the seventh and
worked Erickson for a gift. Joe was
hitting in ninth place. Erickson tried
to get the edge on him by shooting a
fast one across. Joe. was set and
ready. He took a toe hold on the ball
and drove a wicked liner over Shanks'
head. Howard leaped. as high as the
AuG BOOu WOuAu DuL
didn't come within three feet of the
ball
Menosky tried to set himself to
grab the ball on the nrst pound, but
It shot between his hands and legs
with such great momentum kthat it
rolled to the bleachers for a double
and the game was over.
Manager Speaker played consider
able of bunch in keeping Harris in
the game after he had pinch-walked
for Jasper in the seventh. Doc John
ston, who had started the game at
drSt, had not Jared very well against
striking out with the bases
FULL in the hrst,' tanning again after
falling to sacrifice in two attempts
with Wamby on first in the fourth,
Wamby being doubled up stealing,
and popping to Shanks in the seventh.
So Manager iris had a little con-
fab with Johnston, and Doc wendell
his way to the bench while Harris,
who had no idea Spoke intended TO
continue him in the game, was called
from the dugout. 1t was just
bunch. but one that paid big dividends
for the Indians, as they gained a full
game on the Chicago White Sox and
Detroit Tigers. and are now but four
and a half games behind first place
and half a game behind second

day Of ingenuity.
Therefore. let us urge . wide and
practical distribution Of public road
building.
Why can't the Government employ
eminent men to invent enormously
large and practical road machinery.
which will be capable Of grading and
paving our roads by the wholesale
instead OF letting contracts out to in
dividUals and companies to enrich
themselves q the expense Of the pub
lie at the rate of from $500 to $4,000
profit per mile of macadam road.
Just think Of men grading the roads
in many Cor mOst) places mostly by
hand; with pick and shovel and horse
drag or scraper, in this great day OF
Inventions. 1t is absurd TO think
about,
A few machines like the above men
toned would cost some money; but
say, IL we wouldn't soon have some
good roads! Let's all lend a hand in
pushing this.

will recall Hichens' description Of
Irena. the Kabyle dancing girl, who
looked anemic, almost tubercular,
yet thrilled the spectators TO the
verge OF frenzy by her dagger
dance. He thus describes her:
Her features were narrow and
pointed. Her bones were tiny, and
her body was so slender, her waist
so small, that. with her fiat breast
and meager shoulders, she looked
almost like a stick crowned with a
human face and hung with brill

writes a book. which, often as not,

The Washington times., 1919-02-27

The tribes Of Africa, on the con-
trary, esteem fat. And they are not
alone in their admiration of a gen.
erous outline. The Rubens type,
says another authority, "is perhaps
the one most admired by man. No
doubt the desire for a disparity of
structure and form in the two sexes
is deep and fundamental"
Havelock Ellis. who has written
a library on the general subject OF
sex attraction, asserts that carriage
has decided influence on selection,
and that an awkward gait dOS5acts
from woman's attractivcness.
Stoutness is. however. not necessar-
lily. a handicap to graceful move
ments. Spanish women tend to

statuesque bearing and nimbIeness
in motion.
Carrying Bucket On Head.
The carrying of a bucket Of water
or other burden on the head insures
an Incompatible beauty of gait. A
number of opera singers have re-
course to this particular form of
exercise in their physical culture
exercises. 1t insures poise, with a
rhythmic yet hardly perceptible I'M
dulatiOn. Many of the women OF
our Indian tribes have this spIen-
did characteristic in walking, due
TO the bearing OF head burdens.
Ideals change. the excessive sIen-
derness that has been so much ad-
mired in America of late years was
not very long ago regarded as dis
tinctively unattractive. The bellies
of the eighties wore a garment
called a basque" that fitted them
as pin cushion fits its cover. Fur
thermore. they distended the back
breadth Of their skirts with steel
arOcities known as reeds" and they
were not obliged, as are their pres
ent-day counterpart to give up
cream and potatoes in order to
sidestep adipose tissue
Before the reeds, we had the
crinolincs of the sixties, which
were. OF course. a revival Of a
much earlier fashion. The farthip-
gale of the Elizabethan days and
the hoop-skirts OF the Velasquez
sitters were doubtless designed to
heighten the suggestion OF en-
bonpoint when excessive corpulence
was the feminine ideal OF beauty.
Havelock Ellis also notes a mas
cuIine preference for blondes as
widespread. Even in Italy and
Spain, where an olive complexion is
a racial characteristic. fair women
are preferred.
The sole exception to this ap-
pears to be the Chinese, who abhor
blondes. regarding them as the re-
incarnation Of devils. When Miss
Carl painted the portrait Of the
late Dowager Empress OF China,
which you may see in the rotunda
of the National Museum. the i'm
perial lady gave the artist a mag
nificent sable cap with which to
cover her blond tresses. as even a
glimpse of blond hair was distaste-
full to her.
Men write books on physical
characteristics aud continue to give
themselves away in their chapters.
But woman does not commit her
self. she is there, however, with
whatever brand OF beauty is called
for. I'VE aim to please" might be
the motto of the fair sex. only on
this subject she has succeeded In
maintaining an absolute silence. He

To You Who Fought
For Us
WELCOME HOME

Ancient literature is filled with glowing accounts OF
wars of victories and of the welcome accorded returning
soldiers
Famous artists have devoted their talents to pictur
ing laundering chariots at whose wheels dragged the
victims of defeat.
Sculptors have fashioned heroic figures whose bay
wreathed brows amored forms preserved in bronze or
marble remembrance of great deeds.
In simpler ways but with no smaller gratitude, Wash
ington today pays tribute to her returning heroes
In presence and in spirit she gives welcome and tribute
alike to those who have back and to those who, still
under arms guard foreign fields or wait IN homeland camps
the orders to demobilze.
Wherever District soldiers today the thoughts of the
home folks are with them, and with than with
those who lie silent beneath the that dot the fields
their blood has made forever sacred
To those who fell special tribute is paid in the golden
star which is borne today in the hands of publicly
claimed heroes.
AS that memorial goes by every hat should be raised
and every head should bow in acknowledgment of the
prene sacrifice that was made for US ALL and all alike
No longer does people celebrate victory by the
ture and humiliation of the vanquished-
Civilization has taken step forward.
We are engaged in clarifying in arms by
seeking some plan which shall prevent another and
protect the world for years from conflict and from
bIOodshed.
At the head of today's procession there marches a.
man who representing all of u.s. has been the leader and
director of all sought to do in and all seek to
do for peace
None fought more valiantIy than he. None could
deavor with single thought provide for future
rid Of conflict excuse for war.
There DIRECTORS to his methods but there is none
who questions his purpose.
There are critics of his logic and his conclusions but
there is of his ideals and his desires.
No one ascribes to him selfish motive unworthy
ambition.
He marches today as much soldier and truly a.
fighter the khakcad veterans who accompany him.
At the end of the line of march walk the herones of the
war, the mothers of the boys.
No one but another mother know their thoughts.
It was flesh of their flesh that wounded It was
part of them that died.
They suffered what camp fe however severe, could
have inflicted, what hardship of action could have
equaled.
for their bravery for their sedena for their courage and
their devotion The could not have been without
them.
To you Mr. President and to you veterans of the war;
Washington gives hearty welcome home It bids you
accept the gratitude due worthy and successful effort
To those of you who manned injured promise
best efforts and fullest aid in equppng you
your place in the worlds work unhampered by your hon
