Lavender Smokers.

Long before tobacco vas known or
smoked, sweet lavender was q favorite
smoking mixture. Pipes have been
dug up In Roman settlements, adorned
with base-reliefs picturing the lavender
plant. From which 1t is surmised
that the Romans smoked lavender,
which, according to writer's of the time,
is said to produce a feeling "~active, ar

SPORT OUTLOOK BR1GHTENs

One of the distinct ante-war develop
ments will probably be more gen.
eral participation and general interest
in various forms of sports.
The vast majority of those who
hocked to the colors are coming back
better physically and with a broader
appreciation of the benefits of out
door life. If the age when interest in
sports is at its height, the returning
soldier has keener appreciation of
the spirit of competition.
The conflict with the Federal league,
which developed imitation in salaries
of players and the resultant atrno-
sphere of commercialism did much to
detract from professional baseball
which had just passed through a
period of unprecedented prosperity.
When war came the game was in a

George Sister, Sam Rice, Eddie Grant
and Christy Mathewson-just to men
ton few of host-took their places
beside those who were ready to give
their lives in defense of the nation
there was a marked change in public
sentiment. It was proven that, broad
ly speaking, ball players were not
slackers and the game, as a whole,
was the gamer thereby.

there has been a housekeeping in
baseball, many of the most objection
able features being removed. Promi-
nent personages whose presence was
a detriment have been eliminated,
salaries of players are to be stabilized
and sane and sensible system is to
supplant the rampant attitude that
actually threatened the whole baseball
structure before America decided to
hurl her whole weight against the
Hun in the world drama.
With the advent of spring there will
come the birth of new spirit in
American sports. Baseball has profit
ted through the reconstruction; in
tercollegiate athletics have under
gone, during the life of the Student
Army Training Corps, beneficial re-
adjustment, meaning football, field and
track athletics, rowing and basket
ball will be more popular and more
widely participated in while already
golf and kindred independent sports
have been rejuvenated and are not
only being enjoyed by their regular
devotees but are recruiting number
less newcomers.
So one-and not one of the small
est-benehcial results of the war con-
flict has been a marked improvement
in the attractiveness of athletics to
Americans. This far-reaching in
fluence includes the thousands of SOL
diers, sailors and marines whose ex-
perience in the service has aroused
in them a more decided interest in
healthy physical competition just as
it has broader appreciation of duties
in matters of national welfare.

HOW TO WEAR RED cHEvRoN

Men about to be discharged from
the service should familiarize them
selves with the regulation concern
ing the proper wearing of the red
chevron as a great deal of confusion
seems to prevail as to how the Nv"
should be placed.
The chevron, which is given every
man when discharged from the
army, is a mark showing that he has
been in the service and served in the
place given him. The order con-
corning the use of the red chevron
states that it must be worn on the
Trench and camp. ([Admiral, Md.) 1917-1919, 1919-03-06

left arm. half way between the elbow
and shoulder, with the point upward.
Many have been placing the red
chevron just above the cuff where the
service chevron of gold or silver is
supposed to be placed. This is wrong.
Several cases have been noticed when
the men have placed the two che
vrons together. This is also wrong.
Only one red chevron should ap-
pear. The two which are furnished
discharged soldiers should be worn
one on the blouse and the other on
the coat.
