TOO FAT TO FIGHT"

The combination o f the words
Rex Beach and Too Fat to Fight

measure of humor awaits him in the

pathos is just sufficient TO give the
shading that sets off the bright

Apparently the White Sox and the
Giants have forgotten all about last

tunes. The 1917 champs in both
leagues are breezing along at a great
clip and their veteran stars are giving
evidence of general regeneration.

mean that the Sox ire as serious PEN
nant possibilities as they were two
years ago. Swede Risberg's great inn
provement at short is another reason
for the Sox's fine start.
The Giants are playing with the
dash of youngsters. The critics that
called McGraw's crowd too old and
too temperamental are silent just now.
Chase apparently has begun to hit.
Pitchers not figured to aid the Giants
are going at top speed. Perritt and
Schupp are about ready to have trial.
Dopesters around these parts are
tremendously impressed by the early
season showing of the former cham
pion clubs.

RECONSTRUCTION IS
OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Time to Spruce Up Car Neglected
During Great War.
Col. Arthur Woods, Assistant to Sec
rotary of War, Recommends En-
ployment of Returning Sol.
diers to Make Repairs.

How about your motor car? or
course, you let her lose class some
what during the war. 1t was unpa-
triotic to use labor or paint on your
car at a time wen American indus
try was WORKING at top speed to pro-
duce the material necessary for the
winning of the war.
But the war is over. Labor is no
longer scarce. In fact, there are TO-
600 soldiers being dismissed every day
from the service and these men will
have rather a difficult time of it until
the industries of the country can re-
instate them into civilian jobs. Now
is the time to spruce up that motor
car, to put that necessary coat of paint
on and to overhaul it generally. You
will be doing patriotic service to the
country in getting soldier or two to
do this work for you. Col. Arthur
Woods, assistant to the secretary of
war, recommends the employment of
eX-service men for such reconstruction
work.
There is no more need for emergency
economy. Minor repairs add to the
life of things. Paint adds life to the
body of the car. Spruce up your en-
CINE. Renew those worn parts. Your
car will go quicker, will run smoother,
and wear on it will be lighter.
Materials are expensive now
paints, machine parts, cost more than
they used to few years ago. But
they will save more than their value
in their service to the car.
Don't wait for materials to come
down. They won't. Rather is the
contrary to be expected. And If you
wait little too long, you will have to
put on an extra coat of paint, and
more parts will wear out. Spruce
up" your car now.

Now that farmers are buying motor
trucks in large numbers, it Is desirable
that these trucks show not only an
economical performance but also that
they pay as big returns on the invest
ment as is possible to make them. AS
one power farmer expressed 1t not
long ago, the motor truck takes the
last drudgery out of farming. This Is
whole lot to say, but many owners
are finding it true. Not only that
they are also finding that the truck
makes money by saving money in re-
duclng production and marketing costs.
Advantages of Truck.
One of the big advantages Of the
truck is that 1t brings the market
many hours, and even days, nearer the
farm; and another factor in this cC1-
nection which operates to bring farm
and market still closer is the trailer
behind the truck. Where conditions
are favorable to its use, the trailer
should be considered an essential part
of truck equipment

Peach Ice cream.-Cut up and put

to make one and One-half cupfuls OF
pulp. Add the juice of one lemon
and one and one-fourth cupfuls of
sugar. Add one pint of thin cream
and freeze as usual. Pack in a brick

cream with chopped pistachio nuts.
Peach cobbIer.-Peel and slice
enough peaches to fill deep pie plate,

In the ground three feet deep for six
months. When opened the fruit will
be covered with a delicious strip,
much better favored than by any 9TH

Sweet Picked Peaches.-There is
nothing that quite takes the place of
the good old-fashioned picked
peaches. Here is a good one: Boil
two pounds of brown sugar with one
pint of vinegar, an ounce Of cinnamon
(stick) twenty minutes. Dip half a
peck Of peaches quickly into boiling
water and rub with a coarse towel
to remove the skin, or they may be
dipped in water and the fuzz rubbed
off. Stick each peach with four
cloves, drop half the peaches In at
time and cook until soft. Drop into
a large mouthed Jar and pour over the
spiced vinegar.

Of all seasons of the year autumn Is
the most alluring to the woman or girl
who rides horseback; cool, bright days,
without the fickleness of spring or the
heat of summer, q world arrayed in
gorgeous colors and air that stimulates
and caresses, make it a joyous time
for horse and rider.
Some of the riding habits for fall
seem to interpret the season in their
colors and texture. The bronzes and
browns of oak leaves are translated
into warm, rough fabrics that give a
sense Of comfort for frosty mornings.
A youthful model in riding habit for
fall is shown in the picture above. 1t
is made of a heavy, rough-surfaced
cloth, tweed apparently, in brown
check. The coat sets snugly with
f1aring skirt that is quite full in the
back and is shorter than usual. 1t has
flap pockets and fastens with three
buttons at the front below narrow
revers. The riding breeches that but.

ton below the knee do not reveal any
change in style. A tan skirt with soft
collar, and a brilliant-hued, fourth
hand tie contribute their share to a
costume that is beyond reproach. The
soft felt hat has high crown and
brim that rolls upward. Brown leather
boots and heavy kid gloves in the same
color are items that put the finishing
touches to this well-turned-out habit.
There are several weaves in sturdy
woolens that are represented in each
seasons showings of habits. For older
women plain cloths make the best
choice, and covert cloths or whipcord
always prove reliable. Brown and
dark blue are favored colors. Black
and white in small checks always has
a following in spring and summer and
makes snappy outfit with black boots
and hat. But when one has single
habit that must serve the year round
plain dark color is altogether better
than anything else.

There is considerable difference Of
opinion among people as to the pro-
priety Of wearing mourning apparel. 1t
is difference that cannot be settled
one way or the other so long as mourn
ing does not signify to some people
what 1t does to others. The wearing
of mourning Is not matter Of fash
ion, but an expression of sentiment,
and therefore each person Is privileged
to decide for himself whether 1t Is
2tting and appropriate or not.
Mourning hats must always be con-
servative in size and in style, avoiding
all extremes. They require the most
exact and painstaking workmanship
and are made of distinctive materials.
For first mourning crepe, In black or
white, is used, and since 1t is not used
for any other kind Of apparel 1t has
become the insignia of mourning. It
appears in combination with other silk
fabrics in garments and in millinery
and Is shown here In three of the four
hats pictured. One Of these has q
medium wide dropping brim and soft,
draped crown of black crepe, with
brim facing of white crepe. There lisa
small embroidered flower motif set on
the front of the crown as a trimming.
A combination of crepe and dull fin
ished silk appears in toque with flex-
ible top-crown Of crepe and the sides
of the shape covered with bias folds of
the silk. A fiat, symmetrical bow of
ribbon makes trimming in keeping
with the precise, even folds and per
fectly fitted brim facing.
