CARE OF CLOTHES.

The patriotic slogan today Is Waste not" and it should be applied to clothes as well as food. To care for clothes properly after they are purchased is to prevent waste jus: as those same clothes.
 If hats are of fabric silk, crepe de chlne, georgette or velvet, or have fold of any of these materials around the bru1, always set them in a hat lag or hat bow with the crown 1 downward. The hats thus resting or their crowns will saEe a delicate edge on a brim from becoming worn or plussed. And always keep hats In a bag or box, for there are always dust and light to make them grow shabby.
 Shoes not worn constantly will be kept nicely if they are slippered. toes first, into a big paper bag. If the shoes are cleaned, brushed or pol ished before they are put away when they are needed they can be slipped out of the bag "all ready to wear" If shoe trees are not used stuff shoes with tissue paper. This will help to | keep ugly wrinkles out of them, a thing that will make them look old.
 When taking off gloves always turn | them right side out and pull each finger out carefully, smoothing the gloves into their proper shape. Put away in the glove box, they are ready for use.
 Putting away silk paraso1s for next ! r not roll silk parasols tight. It is bet ter to let them stand with the folds of silk hanging loosely with the little strap unclasped. No matter how good the quality, tightly rolled silk Is apt to crack if creased or folded
 Lacking the regular skirt hangers a good substitute is to tack small loops of tape onto the belts at each side seam by which to hang uI skirts.
 Hangers being a minus quantity blouses can be well cared for if they are hung up by small loops of tape sewed at the under arm seam at the
 armsize or at the belt, if preferred Thin blouses of georgette or sill
 should never be laid away in drawer-be they ever so careful,
 put there they will wrinkle ant muss. If the waists have not frill l that will get crurshed asevera l blouses can be slipped one owe another on the same hanger, as lingerie waist over plain crepe d,

ANNIVERSARY OF
 TWO FRISCO FIGHTERS

This is the birthday of two once cisco-George Green and Al Kauf-
 man. Green, who was the first box CT to assume the ring name of Young Cor bett, was born forty-seven years ago today, while Kaufman is thirty two today. Green came of good family, and he entered the ring against the loud objections of his rel atives, who were scandaIized at the idea. As an amateur he had been pupil of "Gentleman Jim" Corbett, and when he turned professional he assumed the name of his teacher. He began fighting in 1889, and was not defeated until 1893, when Paddy Smith knocked him out in the twenty eighth round of a bout in Roby, Ind.
 Green then returned to San Fran cisco to take more lessons in the manly art, and when he renewed his campaign he fought his way up to the welterweight championship, de- feating Danny Needham, Shadow Maber, Owen ZiegIer, Tom Tracy and Mysterious Billy Smith. He was knocked out by Joe Walcott in 1897, and afterwards was defeated by Tom my Ryan and Billy Smith. Kauff- man was one of the most promising of the heavyweight contenders for a 1 time, but he was rushed too fast and
 in consequence was worn out at an | age when he should have been just attaining the height of his powers.

BAN JOHNSONS BIRTHDAY

This day, the sixth of January, stands out on the calendar as the na- tai day of Byron Bancroft Johnson, Czar of the American League. He was born fifty-six years ago in the town of Norwalk, Ohio.
 The greatest of all the Johnson clan Is big man, physically as well as mentally. There is a tradition that he once followed the calling of a soda squirt, but it was as a baseball reporter for a Cincinnati paper, at a salary of twenty-five dollars week, that opportunity knocked at his door and found him waiting with a club.
 The old Western league gave Johnson his first experience as a base ball executive. Charities Comiskey was largely responsible for the eleva- ton of the reporter to that job. The presidency of circuit comprising a number of large cities of the West was quite jump for Johnson, but his ambition did not stop there. In 1900 he and his associates changed the name of the circuit to American League, with clubs in Chicago, Cleve- land, Detroit, Buffalo, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Minneapolis and Mil waukee. The following year Phila- delphia, Boston, Washington and Bal timore were invaded. In 1902 club was placed in St. Louis, and in 1903 New York was added.
 Throughout this period the new cir cult, under the guidance of Johnson, waged unceasing war on the National League. And, thanks in no small part to Johnson's ability, the fight was won. In 1910 Byron Bancroft Johnson was rewarded by reelection to the presidency of the American League for a term of twenty years al salary of $25,000 per annumI : Which is not such bad salary ever n these days of high prices.

B, \, s. TO MEET
 TWISTED DEC. il

The Bridgeport High School girls defeated the Alumnae girls in a re- turn game in the B. H. s. gym last Saturday, by the score of Is to g. In the first game the alumnae obtained the decision, but the girls came back Saturday and after a half hour of fast play the score stood 13 to favor of the High school team.
 Because of the rep that the local boys team has run up Manager Hawes is finding 1t rather hard to get games and because of that thing they had to pick two teams to play and the Cubs defeated the Colts.
 The local boys will play the Gil- bert High school boys from Winsted next Saturday afternoon in the gym. The Gilbert High school lads also have a fast team this year and they promise to make the fur fly when they meet the local warriors.

Napoleon Lajoie is not likely to be re-engaged as manager of the India napolis American Association team. His work with the HoOsiers last year didn't come up to the expectations of President J. c. McGill, who is plan- ming to engage a new manager. La joie turned down a chance to play with the Brooklyns in order to accept ATcGiu's offer after Charley Ebbets had bought the Frenchman's release from the Toronto club. The National Commission then declared Lajoie a free agent, and he signed up with Indianapolis for a salary of $7,000. Ii is possible that Lajoie will return to the Toronto club, which recently re- leased Daniel Howley.

MURPHY BIGGEST WINNER.

Although picturesque Pop Geers continues to be one of the most sue cessful drivers in the trotting game, he lost the IaureIs for the biggest winnings of the season for the year just closed to the veteran Tommy Murphy, who also stands out as one of fl the foremost figures on the trot- ting circuits. Geers, with sis longer experience, has been the biggest win ner in numerous years.
 During 15 weeks of the Grand Cir cuit meeting last season horses driven by Murphy won more than $100,00O, and Murphy won half that much for himself. Murphy started in ITS races and won 70 of them. He finished second in 46, third in 23, and fourth in 13 He finished first or second 116 times.
 One reason why Geers was out stripped in winnings was that he started in fewer races. He entered in only 75 events, but in these he man. aged to make such a good showing that he ran up respectable total of winnings amounting 10 $39.619.

Breyer, wrNinG after an interview with Francois Des- champs, manager Of Carpenter, in which the French idols manager ex- hibited many offers for bouts in this country, France, and England, said:
 He showed me half a dozen
 of these offers, and, without be-
 traying any secret, I may say
 some appeared to me as quite
 decent. As to names of sug-
 gested opponents, they included

 be borne in mind, holds in

 Breyer indicated, however that i was improbable that Carpentiel woud bel discharged from Frencl military service for some time tc come.

one. Last fall just prior to the election he was
delegated and employed by the mining interests
to "heel' for the defeat of the amendment to the
State constitution relating to the taxation of min
ing properties, which had succeeded in avoiding
their just taxation for couple of years and were
willing to spend few thousand dollars to perpet-
uate this immunity Of course it was an easy
matter to enlist the aid and support of the little
'dnky" newspapers, who had sense of their
own and were always ready to fall for the sob
stuff about Unamerican methods, unjust discrim-
ination and little war din, which hadn't the
slightest bearing connection, thrown in. But
right there he ran up against snag He had
lot of canned dope on the question which he would
be glad to send free Of charge for publication in
our papers. Pay advertisements, he said, were pro-
hibited by the corrupt practice law but he would
appreciate publishing them free of charge
We advised Mr.. Tanner that while we had not
gone into the question of the amendments as ex-
haustively as we intended doing later, that our
impression was that the mininb amendment was
proper and necessary in order that the mining in
terests should bear their fair share,of taxation,
but that we would look over the material he men,
toned and if we agreed with the opinions promul-
gated we might use some of it. We did not see
our way clear to fight the adoption OF the amend
ment, and therefore did not make hit" with Mr.
Tanner. 1t is probable that his experience with
this paper was duplicated with others in the dis
trict. However, we have no apologies or regrets
to express in this matter.
We appreciate the attitude of our friends, and
the progressive men of the state, who realize that
the newspaper is an important factor in the growth
and progress of any country. Fortunately they
are substantially in the majority in the House,
and we feel sangune they will Also be in the SEN
ate, before whom these measures will shortly
come. These bills will not be cure-all for all the
ills of newspaperdom, but they will help little,
and will at the same time afford protection to the
people at large against unreasonable charges for
legal publications, and against dishonest public
officials, whose actions will have to be made pub
lie. We ask the careful consideration of our state
Senators to these measures, if they wish to see
the newspapers in Utah on par with those of
adjacent states.
