In Four Years

This is the first time since 1915 that Evans, Oumet
and Travers have all been tossed together in an
teur championship Each of the trio has won the
Open and together they have accounted for six amateur
triumphs. Which recalls an incident of the Detroit
meeting four years ago. One eagle eyed expert who
knows golf was confident of the Big Three would
WIN. he finally got down an important wager in which
ne took the trio against the rest of the field Match
play began on Tuesday, By Wednesday night none
OF the three stars remained in the conflict SAWYER
dropped Evans Standish colared Ouimet and Marston

sport And golf carries its share of genial upsets

Ancient Idols

There is always yearning the part of the popu-
lace to see ancient idols return to the crest
This applies especially to Jerome D. Travers and
Maurice Mclaughlin. Both won in their respective
sports IN 1912 and 1913-and neither has landed an
amateur championship since.
Mclaughlin, the slashing, smashing victor who car
red the field off its collective feet Travers, the
GRIM logged match player who refused to recognize
defeat whatever the odds against him.
Both, to-day in their respective championships are
facing greater odds than they have known but
neither of the two is likely across an unfrendlv
gallery in any match

MiIdeW.

Mildew usually appears on the
fbers of cotton and linen; it takes the
form of small round dark spots; in
reality it is a vegetable growth, or
form of fungus, which develops on the
hbers of the material. Its appearance
Is due to dampness, and reflects dis
credit on the work of the housekeeper,
as the clothes must either have been
put away damp or kept in a damp cup
board.
Owing to the nature of mildew it Is
difficult to remove. One of the SIM
plest remedies is to moisten the stained
fabric, rub it thickly with soft soap
and sprinkle it with common salt.
Place the material on the grass in the
sunshine and keep it moist. Renew the
treatment each day until the stain dis
appears.
A quicker method, and a surer one,
Is to keep the stained part in white
material in a solution of bleaching
liquor. To prepare the bleaching
liquor, put half a pound of chlorinated
lime into a basin and pour half a gal
Ion Of boiling water over it; add two
tablespoonfuls of washing soda, and
stir to break up all the Jumps, and to
enable the water to extract all the
chlorine. Strain carefully to remove
all the powder and to make the liquid
clear. Bottle and keep ready for use.
This liquor is used chiefly for the re-
, 1919-08-07

them. Boudoir slippers of ribbon and
lace match up with these dainty be-
longings.
The combination at the right is
made of figured georgette. The body
is shirred on two cords and edged with
a full frill of plain %georgette. Another
frill froths about the waistline where
the knickers are set on and ribbon
forms the suspenders over the shoul-
ders. Finally a butterfly of plain
georgette is the last beguiling touch
that is sure to tempt feminine eyes
into looking too long at n garment that
is bound to prove irresistible. While
georgette has proved much less fragile
than 1t looks, underwear made OF ii
Is a luxury that the average
will hardly indulge In. But crepe de
chine has wearing qualities that make
1t really economical.

Tonic for the Bath.

A bath much favored by the Kneip-
pists, along with the barefoot habit,
is formed from a solution of pine
needles and pine cones. Cover with
cold water about a pound of fresh
pine needles and pine cones, broken in
small pieces. Roll for half an hour
strain and add the solution to the
bath. If you do not wan to use the
entire amount at once 1t can be bot
tied and kept for future occasions.
This has a tonic effect both on the
nerves and the skin. 1t a be used
on alternate days with a bath of sea
salt.

Lingerie seems to have reached the
crest of the wave In sheerness and
daintiness; one wonders what will hap
pen next. Its loneliness is not born
to waste its flesh-pink blush unseen,
but quite the contrary. Camisoles and
ehemise, combinations and slips are
all visible through sheer blouses that
depend upon them for added charm.
The blouse often serves merely ito
veil the roses bloom - the camisole or
other u~nderbodice providing the most
interesting contribution to the cos
tune. Figured georgette, crepe de
chine, lawns, laces and nets all play
their exquisite parts in making up
these indies. The finest batiste also
holds the allegiance of gentlewomen
who never waver in their loyalty to
this soft fabric and the hand embroid-
cry that 1t makes worth while.
An envelop chemise and a combina-
ton. both of American design and
manufacture, are shown In the picture
above. Flesh pink crepe de chine
makes the practical chemise shown at
the left, trimmed with insertion and
edging of the familiar val lace that
ONE love. A small yoke of Irish
lace is set In ut the front. Pink satin
Straps with bows suspend the chemise
from the shoulders and the same rib
bcn makes a digniied bow with hang
ing loops and ends to embellish the
front. This garment is delightfully."-
cool for warm weather when the light
est union suit proves burdensome. A
short undervest and corset r worn
under II.
Just because they are so pretty and
for no other reason, the pink silk gar
tiers, with wide lace frills, naunt their
charm In company with this sensible
chemise. There is a fad for such
charming little frivolities and women

Nearly Two Score Are Killed In
War Between Whites and
Blacks in Chicago.
STATE TROOPS CALLED OUT
Street Car Men Strike at Same Time
Urgency Of Action to Cut Living
Cost Impressed on Govern
ment-Status of Peace
Treaty Contest.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARp.

Race riots and strikes made chicago
the news center of the country for the
week, and the news from 1t was sem
sational and plentiful. Starting in a
trifing quarrel over the color line"
ut a bathing beach, a real race war
sprang up with startling suddenness
and quickly spread throughout the
South side of the city, where most Of
the negroes live, and thence to the
downtown business district, with spo-
radio outbreaks in other regions. Be
fore the authorities got the situation
under control nearly two score per-
sons had been killed and several hun
bred wounded. For several days the
mayor insisted the police could re-
store order, but realization of his mis-
take was forced on him and he called
on the governor for assistance from
the state militia. Several regiments
at once occupied the BLACK belt"
law was avoided and thus the city
saved its face"
There is no doubt that the casualty
lists of the race war were kept down
by the fact that the strike of the
street car men was coincident with
the riots. Not a surface or elevated
car was running and it was compare
lively easy for the authorities to keep
out Of the riot district the trouble and
curiosity seekers. The strike, which
had been impending for some time,
was preclpitated suddenly by the rad
ical element In the car mems unions, a
compromise offer of the companies, APP
proved by the state and city authori-
ties and the heads of the unions, be-
ing rejected. Though seriously ham
pered in getting to its work n In
transacting business, the public took
the situation good naturally and made
its way to the business district and
home again with rather remarkable
facility. All manner of motor We
hicles were pressed into service and
the steam roads exerted every effort
to carry their many thousands of extra
