Cheer Fires and Signal Fires.

BY ADELLA BELLE BEARD,
Author, Artist; Secretary Girl Pioneers of
America.
You want a large fire and a blazing
one for cheer or warmth, and because
it is large and the flames leap high es-
pecial care must be taken that it does
not spread. The best way to make
sure of this is to choose a clear, open
space for the fire, avoiding overhang-
ing tree boughs and underbrush, then
form a circle about four feet in diam
eter of good sized stones and build
your fire in the center. Or you can
pull up tufts of grass or weeds, leav-
ing heavy clods of earth clinging to
the roots, and make the ring by plac-
ing these close together, root ends
toward the fire.
In the center of your circle place
two short logs parallel to each other
and about one foot apart. Across
these logs lay two smaller logs, one
at each end, log cabin fashion, and put
your finder of birch bark, cones and
small, dry twigs in the hollow square
of the cabin.
Make a CRATE over the finder by
placing slender sticks of soft wood
across the two upper logs. leaving
narrow spaces between. Make an
other crate of larger sticks over the
first one, placing the sticks at right
angles to those beneath and go on

Buying the Best

The best things are the cheap
est, and shoddy things are punk
that mans a chronic weepist
who blows himself for junk.
Some bargain he goes hunting,
in hens or rubber tires, in cellu-
loid or bunting, in hats or cast
off Tyres. He doesn't ask the
merit of calico he buys; he
doesn't bite or tear it or hold
it to his eyes; if it's as cheap
as bitten, he thinks the deal
will pay; and every game he sits
in he plays this sort of way.
His clothes are always seedy,
his shoes are down at heels, he's
looking poor and needy, though
he earns many wheels. He
blows in all his wages for things
that do not wear, for birds in
cheap tin cages, and wigs that
have no hair. The chairs all &c
to pieces he purchased at the
store, depositing his nieces and
aunts upon the floor. His car
is always busting when he
would take ride, and accidents
disgusting deface his snowy
hide. His boat is always leak
ing when he would row a bit
and coroners are seeking his
bones, on which to sit. His dog
is always NANCY, his cat wa:
built to squall, his cow is lear
and rangy and kicks hin
through the wall. He always
hunts the cheapest when he
would shopping wend; CHEAP
prices are the steepest, as we
know, in the end. My large ane
shining dollars in good thing.
i invest; in buying cows or col
lars I always want the best.

MANY WOMEN PURSUE LAW.
III Were Students of That Course
at Washington Colleges.

There were one hundred and sew
enty-seven women studying law this
last year in the law schools of Wash
ington. The Washington College OF
Law. which was opened primarily
for women" in 1896. when other law
schools did not admit them. had the
largest number, ninety-eight: the law
school of George Washington University
enrolled fifty-eight; the National Uni
Nersfty Law School. eighteen, and How
ard University, three.
Many of these are local women, but
the war workers have perceptib1y
9welled the ranks of women law stu
dents. That the law appeals to all
ages appears from the fact that the
ages of these women range from nine
teen to seventy-seven.

It is a popular belief that. because
of the celebration of Queen Alexan-

however. Her favorite is the Malmai-

BLAMES TOO MANY
PROFITS FOR H. C.L,
Cooperative League Man.
ager Says There Is Not
Much Profiteering Here.
MAY HIT SMALL DEALERS

Cooperative buying and distribut-
ing Of foodstuffs in Washington, it
was admitted by leaders of the move
ment today, may result in eliminating
many small and uneconomically con-
Quoted groceries.
High prices grow out of too many
profits rather than profiteering." de-
clared John G. McGrath. manager of
the Citizens Buying and Distributing
League. today.
The corner grocery which operates
with a small capital and is unable to
buy in sufficient quantities to reap
the advantage of discounts adds one
of the unnecessary profits in the food
business, and should be eliminated,
Mr.. McGrath declared.
Too Many Profits.
II do not believe there is much
profiteering in Washington" he con-
tinued. But there undoubtedly are
too many profits involved in the
transactions by which food finally
reaches the consumer. Some of these
middlemen's services must be dis
pensed with. The whole scheme of
our cooperative enterprise is to cut
out these unnecessary profits
Officials of the league confidently
expected today a membership in the
near future Of 10000. This will mean
a 100000 fund with which to begin
operations, the membership fee being

attractions that are certain to draw

but little to imagine when Harry

Jack Coyne, of Morgan, step in the
ring. 1t will be a '1sto" that will try
the ability and skill of both scrap
pers, as both are in the best of con-
dition.
Young Leo, of home city talent, is

home. This go also will see eight

Young Becker, from this city, will

HERE SUNDAY
Perth Amboy Will Have a Hard
Nut to Crack at Copper
Works Diamond

What does the almanac say for
Sunday; is it rain or clear weather?
You look 1t up, pard; I'm too lazy
and besides there is no such litera-
ture in this shack. If 1t waters the
game between the Railway A. A. and
III Perth Amboy Club will be can
celled, but why take a pessimistic
view. 1t certainly will not rain when
such an interesting program is on
schedule.
When the Railway crew stack up
against Mullen's Chicks on the
Copper Works diamond they will
present the same identical lineup as
on July 4 when they bruised our
local boys terribly by a score of ITO.
Their horsehide performers are:
Witheridge, If; Gettings, lib; Clos. eff;
II. Schultz, p; Russo, 3b; r. Schultz,
IS; Ruddy, 2b; Grassick, Ct; Mackle.
IF; Parsons, IF.
But, gentlemen, don't allow that
lineup to worry you In the least as
Joe has taken good care to bolt up
all the loose holes in his makeup.
"Pud" Stinson has nailed down the
short position to such a perfection
that the twisting round thing can
never get an extended journey to the
outfie1d through his station. Stretch"
Burke and Larsen are also assigned
places for Sunday and are certain
to add to the batting strength.
Mike 500, the famed no hit Won
der, will be used to intimidate tho
visitors. This barbecue, with Mike
on the mound is certain to be q "gol
durn it." Soc will hand up q bar
rage of balls, his mystery ball, his
goldfish ball, his corn willy ball and
all other devices that Mike has stored
up in the back of his wooley head.
Joe says that the rough treatment
handed them on the Fourth must be
avenged and the storm in the breast
of the hurt Amboys be Gained. With
this in view Mullen presents the fol-
lowing lineup which in itself tells a
story: ]. Fullerton, 2b; Rodda, If;

hue has frightened the bolts in his in
field so that it is rated as one of the
best. Bill Coughlin has been secured

Bill is known SO nothing more need
be said. Jim Boland, formerly with
the Troy state League, will be seen
walking his post at the keystone sta

hap, was the leading batsman of the
league. First is to be taken care of
by Donoghue, while the difficult cor
