The Vermont Wheel clubs spring
frolic' took place in the club rooms
last evening despite the wintry wealth

number of members and guests. It took
the form of minstrel show, the fea-
lures of which We're songs by Onslow

usual program of jokes on club mem

Feminine Topics.

1t is evident that VIC are to have
again a season of sweaters. Many Of
the new ones are crocheted; some of
which are especially new and novel
are crocheted in filet stitch. 1t goes
without saying that filet sweater
would be worn more fer looks than for
warmth. At some of the winter resorts,
fashionably dressed women wore
girdles of shirred ribbon, many Of them
in contrasting colors, to keep the
sweater in place about the waist. The
ribbon should be four or five inches in
width with an elastic placed under tho
shirring.
1t is predicted that this will be a
cotton summer and by the bewildering
displays of lovely designs and coler-
ings one can well believe it. This will
not mean inexpensive simplicity as
some ginghams are as much per yard as
silk, and when the question of laundry
is considered silk may be the cheaper
fabric.
The round necks seem to call for the
plated and fiuted rulings sold by the
yard, as an ordinary collar does not
conform to the round shape. 1t may be
used for cuffs also and can be procured
in many colors aside from white. IT

NOW TALKING BASEBALL.
Greenfield Fans Would Like to Revive
League Idea.

GREENFIELD, March 2S.-Baseball
fans in town are beginning once more to
discuss the question of a baseball team
for Greenfield, and they feel that with
the war over there is an opportunity of
forming a league similar to the Twin
State organization of some years ago The
organization which managed the Twin
State team is still in existence, although
it has been rather quiescent since that
time. The last attempt at town baseball
was under the management of the late
Hank Ramsey, whose league suecumbed
after a short time to rainy weather anc
lack of interest. 1t is hoped that the
Greenfield Baseball association, which
managed the successful Twin-State team
will be revived, and that its officers vii
look about little and see if Keene, Brat
tleboro, Bellows Falls and Northampton
cannot be induced to put teams into tn,
, field this season.

SPORTING
GREENFIELD HOPES
TO SEND UP TEAM
Down River School Interested in Track
Meet to Be Held Here
MAY %

GREENFIELD, March 28.-Brattleboro
high school has extended an invitation to
the local school to take part in its annual
track meet, which is to be held at the
Valley FAIR grounds in that place Satur-
day, March 20. As yet Greenfield has not
accepted, but Coach O'Leary has sent out
a call for candidates for track team.
This VIII be the 18th annual meet held at
'rattleboro. In previous years many
chools have been represented and there
rs been spirited rivalry for the cham
pionship cup, especially among Vermont
tate schools Rutland, Keene, and Brat
eboro usually come through with strong
'ack teams. Last year Rutland carried
T the cup and the year previous it went
o Brattleboro. In the long, long ago,
omewhere back in 1909, in the days of
frank Manning and other prominent ath-
,etes. Greenfield used to take little in
5erest and sent some pretty good teams
20 Brattleboro In 1909 the local school
vas represented by strong team and
was beaten by only few points by Bel
lows Falls. Since that time interest in
track sports has been on the wane, but
had revival in the fall of 1917, when a
rack meet was held at the annual fair.
At the last fair this feature was missed
considerably and it is expected that the
next fair will include another meet on
It's own program.
Not very strong showing of candidates
has responded to Coach ,OLeary's cal
as yet. Baseball is just getting under
way, however, and there will probably
be more track men out later There arr
still some athletes in school who tool
part in the 1917 meeting and there is &
prospect that some good men can b.
whipped into shape. MeAuliffe is a fas
man in the dash and took second placs

Macdonald can work well in the higl
and broad jumps; and Dimond's built

WANT VOLUNTEERS
FOR ARMY ABROAD
War Department Calls for $4,000 for
Three Years Service-Ex-
poets Quota.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-An imme-
date call for $4,000 volunteers for service
in Europe has been prepared by the war
department and probably will be pub
hshed today. The men will relieve men
in the eSpeditionary forces who desire to
return home
Enlistment in this special force will
be for three years. The men will be con-
centrated at Camp Meade, Md.
War department officials expressed con-
fidence that no trouble would be expert
enced in raising the $1,000 men or an even
greater number if it should be found that
additional increments were necessary.
J The bulk of the men are expected TO
come from recently discharged troops who
after a short vacation as civilians de-
sire to return to army life
Another incentive expected to have a
decided effect on the recruiting campaign
is looked for among the men who, after
having been drafted and trained. were
prevented from going overseas by the
PRONUNCIATION of the armistice. Oppor'
tunity to see service in Germany, it Is
thought, will lead many of these to en-
list
A number of officers, probably 10 OF
II. Will be sent overseas with each mere
ment of 1000 men leaving Camp Meade
These will be used at the concentration
camps to give the preliminary training
| necessary to whip the men into casua
organizations and to make the reqlrret
| examinations. On arrival in Europe the.
will take the places of officers whoSar
eligible for discharge

5000 Vote For Landru,
Held For Disappearance
of Thirteen Women

Paris, Dec. 12.-Nearly 5000 voters
in and near Paris cast their ballots in
the recent election for Henri Landru,
for member of the Chamber of Dep
uties Landru has long been held by
the police and accused of being re-
sr onsible for the disappearance of
13 women to whom he is alleged to
have promised marriage.
His witticisms have made him
very popular with the Partisan pub
liz and this accounts for the fact that
5000 persons erased the names of
candidates registered at the Ministry
of the Interior and wrote Landru's
name on the ballot.
Landru was called before Judge
Bonin on election day for examina-
ton as to the whereabouts of the
Widow Collomb, who was registered
on the ballot list as his fiancee num-

Landru paid little attention to the
judges questions, glancing pensive-

MORE GROUND TO
BE DECIDED CITY
Final Details For Big Transfer
at Italian Park Are
Made

e. c. Cowden, representing the
City Planning Commission, return
ed from Pittsburgh last night, where
he was In conference with the trus-
tees of the McKee-Graham estate
over the transfer to the city and
school district of the important
property lying Immediately north of
Division street, and between Sixth
street and the Susquehanna river.
While the general features of all
matters affecting the development
of this property for city and school
purposes have been agreed upon,
there was some difference of opin-
ion concerning proper procedure. AS
result of Mr.. Cowden's conference
and previous negotiations with the
various parties in interest all diff
ferences have now been Strengthened
out and the trustees of the Graham
estate have agreed to change the
form of their conveyance to the
school district. This agreement has
been signed by the executors and
will be presented to the School Board
for signature at it's next session.
The Graham estate will deed 1912
acres of ground to the city for the
Italian Park area. There Will also
be decided to the city for highway
or park purposes the land lying be-
tween the River Road and the low
water mark of the Susquehanna
river, about thousand feet in
length. This, is an entirely new grant
which had not been previously
agreed upon. There will also be
decided to the Harrisburg Academy
3.S acres of land. the Academy trus-
tees in this deed agreeing not to ask
any damages from the city for the
opening of Green street through
their property.
All these deeds are being sent to
Florida for signature and the title
to the school tract will pass on the
18th of December. This tract will
include 1853 acres. but the school
district will only pay for 41.S1 acres,
the balance (4.S2 acres) being al
lowance for streets, for which the
Graham. estate heirs have agreed to
make no charge.
This conference practically con-
cludes all question of dispute and
before the end of the year it is ex-
pected everything will be arranged
for the proper development of the
territory covered by these various
transactions, which represent one of
the most important improvement
steps of the city.

FIRST DEFEAT
FOR TECH TEAM
Resista, Weighing but Ninety
Eight Pounds, Holds
Maroon Team
Tech. 7O1 opponents, 0.

ISCIlt tUl opponents, ".
This is the record of the famous
scholastic football team that won
the national championship this
year. There was a post-season con-
test yesterday, and Tech lost out.
One little ninety eight-pound girl
was the victor. To-day those Maroon
champions are wondering what
would have happened had they
went up against line of opponents
with this one little girls ability.
Resista, is the name of the little
girl who is on the bill at the Ma
jestic theater. At her own weight
any person can lift her above their
heads, but when she adds weight to
her body in her own mysterious
way, there is another story to tell.
Yesterday the entire Tech eleven
attended the afternoon performance
at the Majestic. They had learned
of Resista and there was q deeply
planned plot to establish another
record on the part of the Maroon
champions. The plot failed, Re-
sista proved she could stop the en-
tire team.
Beats Tech Team
At her ordinary weight each
player took n turn in lifting the
little woman high over their heads
Then she added to her strength and
not one Tech athlete could bulge
Resista. Tony Wilsbach held the
wonderful girl until her weight
reached over 800 pounds and then
he Topped. Carl Beck, Fat" Ell
linger, Flaps" Frank, Snap
Emanuel, Comfort, Lingle and 9TH
ers each took a turn, but Resista
would not bulge. This was not all.
They used football tactics and tried
many other ways. Tech boys were
complete failure.
Reslsta stood on small platform
and was pulled to a height of ten
feet above the stage. This was
easy. Then she took on weight. The
entire team of Tech athletes held
the rope, but that little girl be-
came heavier every second and the
heavy squad of athletes were
