EXCURSION WAS
 ONE BIG TIME
(Coutlnucd from Page n

(Continued from Page n plays when at several different times he went out in tho crowd and pulled down some fowls,
 Grundler outguessed the Seward battery when he stole home in the seventh, beating the throw mile.
 The Douglas team was up against the bad breaks in baseball luck The way the drawing for place came they had to win two games to get first money. where their opponents i'm the last game would only have to win one. Tho first game the local boys played. although not hard fought one. was tiring, as they did a lot of running. From playing this game they had to jump right into another one against perfectly fresh players.
 The Fort Seward outdeld was dandy Every time a ball went out that way it was glommcd. although sometimes the fielder would turn couple of somersaults before getting 1t.
 The hits in the second game were even. five and five, but Douglas got all the extra base bits and stole the most bases.
 The two games played demonstrat- cd that Simmons is some pitcher 1T he has support behind him.
 Watts. who umpired the second game for tho soldiers, called a balk on the Douglas pitcher that gave thc soldiers a run. This was the winning run for them. The balk was called because Simmons while standing in the box facing second threw 10 that base. It would have been a balk had tho pitcher been facing the batter As it was, there was no balk.
 There was a lot of excitement in Whitchorso besides tho ball game, but the Mounted Police who were on the job all the time kept things running quite smoothly. There were not more than twenty-five black eyes among all the excursion lsts. which is a pretty good average when you consider what a crowd was present.
 One of the most heartbrcaking in- cidcnts of the whole trip was when a Juneau man chartered an auto to catch the train that had already started, jumped from the auto to the train. forgetting all his baggage with unpullcd corks in the automo- bile.
 Several local men came back to| Skagway on the early train, but they did not know there were there until those who came on the later train woke them up and told them about it.
 One of the fayoritc sports during the day was men in automobiles showing how many of the little trees that had been placed at the side of the whltchorse streets sould be knocked down before policeman arrived.
 It is said that the whitehorsc mosquitoes are of the mammoth va- ricty and that when one Of them hit a fellow it felt like bullet and always left a mark.
 The excursion just past will per haps be the last of its kind. It is. true, maybe. that there will be one each year. but September 1 Yukon is scheduled to go dry. and what would an excursion to Whitehorse be without a dash of Scotch? lt would be like a doughnut without the hole.

card realize that you are 80 glad that
there Is another little Somebody in the
world and that you think he or she is
the dearest. sweetest little baby in the
world.
Something that you make yourself
always goes to the fond mothers heart
more than anything that you buy. To
think that you took all those stitches
and sweet of you! Moreover. it saves
coins in your own purse that perhaps
you had planned to spend in some other
way than for baby things.
Now there are all sorts of things to
make.
Babies do need a lot Of sweaters of
various sorts, but they don't need to
wear them all the first month of their
existence. SO have a heart, and make
yours ix-month old size No one else
will. you may be sure, and most babies
fairly swim in pretty things while they
are wee and then go without as soon as
they have doubled their weight, as the
good baby books tell us they should in

cotton or silk. which YOU can be sure is

any buttons that may be suggested for
eyes and then you can assure the
mother that 1t is harmless. BY the time
the baby dear Is four or five months old
he will need some such pet to cuddle
and punch and incidentally to suck when
other diversions fail
Now. no mother will admit that her
baby needs any bibs, and perhaps she
won't like them ut first. but-well. there
are times when they are very nice
things to have: There is a splendid
pattern for q bib that goes about the
neck and then comes down to the waist
and extends into a wide belt piece. It
may be embroidered and trimmed with
lace or made quite simply. Sometime
there is a running Of pink or blue rib
bon through embroidered ,eyelets around

it only makes 50 much more work for

To Have New Head

C. H. Allen, for several years head
of the detention home of the city of
San Francisco, and well knoTl on
the coast as an institutional worker,
the Queens hospital by the. board of
truste } of that institution, and has
cabled acceptance. He is expected to
arrive in Honolulu to take up his
new duties at some time in the lat
ter part of September.
Allen was chosen from a large num-
Der of applicants for the position be-
cause of his long experience in con
nection with Institutional work and
the excellent record which he has
made for himself in that field of en-
deavor. He comes to Honolulu with
the highest recommendations from
prominent physicians and well-known
men of San Francisco.
Aliens acceptance of the superin,
tendency comes as a great relief to
the trustees of the hospital, who have
! for some time been seeking a head
| for the institution who would be
qualified by experience and ability to
take hold of things and put the hos
pital in its proper place among like
institutions.

some time acting superintendent OF
the hospital, has been badly over.

puppy Love"
Puppy love-siXteen-year-old rom
ance, is the theme of this picture
which Monte Katterjohn conceived to
exploit the particular talents of Lila
Lee. Measuring Mr.. Katterjohn's
work by the side of the other features
in which the new Paramount star has
been the central figure, it swells to
most meritorious proportions. Here
in the role of Gloria O'Connell, lsish
and therefore romantic, the stars
freshness and spirit OF youth are per
mittaG to play in their natural sphere.
For this reason it is the opinion of
the writer that Puppy Love- will find
an extensive appeal before the young
and the old-before all. Too micl
can not be said OF the honest inter
probation of the boy rendered by

Lincoln Stedman as the inevitable fat
boy and Charles Murray, borrowed
from the Mack Sennett studio, as the
Irish father, contribute no small
measur of fine comedy.
"The Poor Boob"
This picture is thoroughly enjo.y
able from start to finish. 1t is true
that the story is s0mewhat absurd,
but in its absu'dity really lies It's
entertaining power, chiefly because,
in transferring it to the screen, the
director has not tried to present it
as something serious; so it resulted
in a picture that ou?hu to satisfy the
tired brain Of any pleasure seeker. In
other words, it is a regular Bryant
Washburn contribution, the kind that
makes a spectator relax himself and
take it all in good humor.
The indirectly conveyed moral of
the story is bluff wins out" The
hero of the story, through lack of eX-
perience and nerve, loses his canning
factory, SO he is reduced to the point
of having to work as a plain clerk
| for a living. Towards the end of the
story, however, he is induced to bluff
it out. He returns to his native town,
and although penniless, succeeds in
posing as a millionaire. Thus he
wins back his canning factory and a
girl.
