Absence of Eighteen Months.

Salt Lake.--The Salt Lake members
of the 145th field artillery came back
10 their homes Friday afternoon, Jan

for Uncle Sam. Five hundred strong
they marched down the business sec

with cheers, shouts of welcome and a
bedlam of noise from whistles and auto

The state health authorities had put
ban on the parade, but at the hist
moment 1t was decided best to permit
the boys TO parade through the streets
OF their home town.

Bio Demand for Skirts.

The great retail demand for summer
skirts has cleaned out retail stocks and
showered the manufacturers with du-
plicate orders. F,annels and gabardines
are among the leaders, although linens
and crepes are getting their usual
heavy demand. White is most desired,
but the pastel shades are attracting
more than the usual amount of atten-
tion given to colored skirts for the sum-
mer. The scarcity of silks and the
high prices quoted by jobbers of such
material, will turn to other fabrics, it
is said, some of the business that would
otherwise 60 to silk numbers.

The daughter called to take the cou-
pie for a walk. She found the doors
and windows barred and the odor of
gas emerging from the place.
Breaking in the front door with an
ak, she was forced to wait several
minutes before entering the place.
Then she rushed from room to room
until finding her parents together in
the sleeping quarters.
The couple came from Denver, Colo,
where they had spent all of their mar
ried life. Both suffered from rheu-
matism and climatic conditions were
better on the coast, they were told.
That the two decided to die, like
they had lived, together, was evident
from conditions about the house.
Everything had been put in its place
and every speck of dust removed.

Pile Fabrics Popular

The prophecy that, when the price
of pile fabric clashes with that of a
fair quality fur, the latter is preferred,
does not seem to be borne out in the
operations of the cloak manufacturers
for fall. Pile fabrics in the most ex-
pensive makes are proving SO popular
with the buyers that it is estimated
the supply is going TO fall far short Of
the demand. The pile fabric makers
believe that the most important rea-
son for this successful competition Of
their product with fur is that the
imitation has reached stage where
it is difficult TO tell the difference be-
tween it and the real thing. Another
reason ascribed is the better wearing
quality of the artificial fur.

Wilbert Robinson is likely to make an
outfielder of him. Allen has all the
earmarks of an athlete. He stands
about six feet, has big hands and can
think quickly. Also, he is willing to
learn and has no foolish notions about
being a ready-made star. He keeps
an ear cooked all the time for tips
from the older players. When he hears
a caustic comment on a play from a
veteran or Uncle Wilbert he jots it
down as a point for future reference.

Looking over the newest things In
bathing suits one might easily con-
clude that fair bathers object to get
ting wet and only go into the water to
got cool, or to be "in the swim" with
their sister bathers. What they really
object to unless they possess Venus
de Medici figures) is the way in which
bathing toys cling and stick and the
somewhat bedraggled appearance they
are likely to make when they come
out of the water. Nothing escapes the
notice Of the keen manufacturers of
bathing toys and they have met this
situation with suits on the order of
that one shown in the picture.
Rubberized silk in rose color is used
to make the shapely and modest over
dress in this suit and it is trimmed
with black and white checkerboard
bands that give it lot of snap. The
long-waisted body is gathered into a
wide flat band with the fullness
brought to the sides and the skirt is
managed in the same way, so that even
bathing suits take note of the wider
hips that are indicated in styles for
fall.
The Knockers for this suit are made
of black satin and a vestee of the
same material in the overdress bears
them company. Black silk stockings
and black sateen slippers take care of

REFUSES TO LEAVE PRISON
First Sing Sing Prisoner in Ninety
Four Years to Reject Warden's
Plea for Pardon.

New York.-Charles Ortner, pris-
oner in Sing Sing, New York, refused
to apply for pardon when urged to
do so by prison authorities. He is the
first of 10000 persons, committed there
in the "a years existence Of the prison
who has refused to be freed.
Ortner, who is thirty years old, was
sentenced on May 80, 1917, from Brook
Ign for from two to four years for as
sault. By good behavior he was en-
titled to six months off the minimum
sentence. This made him eligible for
parole November 80, 1918. He refused
to let the authorities reduce the sem
tence.

How to Wash coIored Embroidery
The best way to bleach white goods
having colored embroidery (such >as
dOllies and other articles which can
not be boiled for fear the color viii
fade) is to wash them and then dry
them In the shade. Put them in an
old pillow-case which has been dipped
in very strong bluing water and thor
Oughly dried. Then hang the case,
with the embroidered articles inside,
in the light for several days. They
will be perfectly white and the col
Ored embroidery will not be one bit
faded.
Look After the Smoothing Iron.
After the temper of smoothing
iron is spoiled it will never retain the
heat so well again. Therefore never
let irons stand on the stove when
there is hot fire unless they are
in constant use, and do not allow them
to become over-heated
When Heating Irons.
Turn an old pan or kettle over irons
which are being heated and they will
get hot much quicker. This also keeps
the room cooler.H

UMPIRES MAKE GAME
SOUR AND LISTLESS
FroWn on EnIivening "Stunts'
by Contestants.
Arbiters Allow Absolutely No Talking
Among Opposing Players and
Take Much Aggressive Spirit
Out of Men.

Funeral-like baseball obviously Is
what the umpires in the National
league are trying to force on the fans,
judging from the way they curb the
players in their efforts to put a little
excitement in the games. They allow
absolutely no talking among the OPP
posing players to liven hostilities and
by enforcing this rule to the letter
take much of the aggressive spirit out
of the men. Some ball clubs and man
ayers can get away with almost any
thing on the field but the Cubs dare
not open their mouths, says writer
in Chicago News. AS soon as they do
off the field they go with the umpires
making all sorts Of threats to fine and
suspend them.
In the second game of q recent dou-
bleheader, which the Cubs won from
the Pirates to 0 and to /. the last
game going II innings. Umpire Klein
displayed his animus toward Presi-
dent Mitchell and the Chicago club.
He gave an inkling of it in st. Louis
by listening to the remarks made and
finally chasing Merkle, Paskert and
McCabe from the bench. In the Pirate
game he hoped on Mitchell and sent
him to the bench for protesting on a
ball that struck fair, but was called
foul by Klein. Then he ordered Coop
er to pitch while Mann was out of the
box and not in the argument. Mann
jumped on the plate and Cooper de-
liberately threw at him. A fight was
expected to ensue and had it taken
place Klein alone would have been re-
sponsible for it.
Officiousness among the umpires in
the league is hurting the game. Fans
do not like to see it. They are full OF
red blood and like to see lot of ac-
tivity on the field. OF course they do
not GO to the parks to, see the men
come to blows or use their spikes, but
they do like to see them in converse
tional battles and bump one another
round on the bases. When the UNI
pires check this they take the spice
out Of the competition and most play
ers perform with more perfection and
spirit when they are allowed to give
vent to their aggressive feelings. But
the teams, especially the Cubs, do not
get away with anything Of this kind,
because umpires like Klein and Byron
run them out of the park almost be-
fore they start.

nere6 cap of rose colored rubber cloth
puts a pretty finishing touch to the
outfit. AS no one aspires to deep
coat of tan this year, a black and
white striped parasol lends its aid ia
face creams to keep the face and necls
from too much sunburn.
Rubberized silks in brilliant colorA
have been used in much more elabor.
ate beach clothes than this very SEN
sible suit, and even for those who pre-.

clothes, nantes and capes of rubber

NOTES

Yellow umpiring makes the baseball
fans blue.
Earl Schatzman, Omaha's soldier
pitcher, shows signs OF being cratic.
+ y
1t takes Connie Mack and Clark
Griffith to dig up unknown baseball
persons.
In spite of what has been handed
them there are lot OF fans loyal to
the Phillies.
Nashville's new outfielder, Dunning
from the Sally league, seems to be
making good.
st. Joseph puts on big league airs
with respect to catchers, as Cozy
Dolan is carrying three.
Hendrix takes a healthy swing at
the ball. If they would let him connect
he could knock it mile.
Prohibition is cutting down the pro-
duction of bottles. The news should
cause umpires to smile in relief.
President Heydler minced no words
in telling Garry Hermann his kick on
the decision over the July 6 game is
out of places
Some day Veach is going to knock
a lot of Mr.. Navin's wall in left field
down when he goes crashing into it
after fly balls.
Tulsa has hopes. Barnham and
Shackelford are figured to strengthen
the pitching and the Oilers think that
was about all needed.

The Cincinnati Club is trying des-
perately hard to land an outfielder, as
it is not figured Sherwood Magee will
be able to play regularly for some
time.
Al Mamaux seems to be hopeless,
though his Brooklyn admirers are call
ing attention to the fact that Burleigh
Grimes once lost 16 straight and that
therefore AL should have chance.
*#
That baseball prophet who says the
world series will be played between
New York and Chicago evidently does
not know of the plans that have been
made in Cincinnati.
The Cleveland Indians released Otis
Lambeth to Columbus, probably in Or
der to give the soldier chance to
steady down from his months in
France. He has just returned.
Lee Foil sets his players to batting
Eddie Cicotte whenever Eddie pitches
against Cleveland. Foil has a stand
ing grudge against Cicotte's "shint
ball" and never tires of complaining
about it.
DOME Bush may not be slipping
maybe it's only the heat-but his con
slant rows with the umpires prove
either that the umpires are rotten OF
that DOME has something on his mind

formed that they witnessed very
rare thing. To be specific, Doyle had
not made an error of just that sort
for II long years-that is, he had not
muffed fly ball under which he had
time to settle himself for the catch
He blamed his recent detection on the
fact that he had not yet fully recov-
cred from injury to his head. His
head, he says, fairly swan as he
scrambled backward to get under the
looping pellet, and he was so dizzy
that he could barely get his hands on
the ball, to say nothing of holding it
firmly.

KEYS Save Life.

Goodland, Kan.-Joy Holmes, rail-
way station agent here, probably owes
his life to a bunch of keys he carried
in his vest pocket. AS he reached into
desk drawer for pair of gloves, he
accidentally discharged a revolver
lying there. The bullet went through
his lower vest pocket, but when it hit
the keys its force was stopped, so that
the only injury Mr.. Holmes received
was a flesh wound from one of the
KEYS.

to stay in the game when sold by the

JOHN WATSON IS HOPELESS
Pitcher Looked Good Last Year, but

Connie Mack gave John Watson up
as hopeless last week and released him
to Baltimore. Watson looked pretty
good last year, but in his three starts
this spring showed nothing that would
encourage Mack to keep him. In his
place Mack has signed young pitcher
named Eisenberger, who comes from
an independent team at Marysville, Pa.
He recently returned from France,
where he made reputation pitching
army baseball, though it is not ex-
