~" SPORTS
OVER There
Big Figures Show Popularity with
boys--7,0 100000 Take Part
In Games.

Boston-Sport followers in the
A. E. F. are given a slant on the
much argued question as to what Is
1.-The most popular sport" in the army,
in the figures on participation and at
tendance throughout the entire A. II.
F, for one month, just received at
Northeastern Department "Y"' head
quarters from ElWood S. Brown, chief
physical director Of the Y. M. c. A.
These figures reveal football lead
ing boxing, but only by slight mar
gin. Counting spectators and partici-
pants, footballs aggregate was 1885,
1852: and for boxing, 1,310,944. Con-
sidering spectators only, boxing takes
a slight lead, with 1,127 ,202 as against
1,023,082 for football.
However other questions besides
that of popularity" are known to
have had something t. do with these
results. For example in army cen
tiers in the devastated parts Of France,
difficulties Of finding suitable fields
and amphitheatrcs have contributed
sports.
According to Mr.. Browns report,
the total participation by the A. e. F.
in all sorts Of sports during February
was 6,5G4,747. Taking the estimate
of / $50 900 as the average number OF
American soldiers in France in Feb
ruary, it is seen that the big sport
program, outlined in orders from u.
H. Q. last December touched every
mo,pber of the A. E. F. four times
over. If spectators, numbering a.
1882 are also included, the whole
A. E. +. has been touched seven times
over by the sports program.
Participation in mass games, de-
signed especially for the armies, has
had an enormous lot to do with tho
piling up of these big totals OF athletic
play and attendance. The total mass
game participation in the First, Sec
ond and Third Armies during Feb
ruary was 3,403, 9G3. This represents
participation in a variety of informal
games, such as shuttle relays, circle
races and many other competitions of
that sort The Third Army led in the
total of participants and spectators in
athletics for the month.
The figures given in Mr.. Browns
report are compiled from reports sent
him by Y M. G. A. physical directors
in the field. Army orders outlining
the general sports program placed a
Y. M. G. A. athletic leader with every
military unit in France, Luxembourg
and Germany.

CITY OF NEWPORT

Newport was visited by one of the
hardest electrical showers Sunday af-
ternoon of the season. The shower
passed over the city about one o'clock
and was preceded by heavy winds,
followed by heavy down pour of rain.
At times hail stones of good size
accompanied the rain.
The man holes were unable to carry
the torrents of water that filled every
gutter and overlooking on to the
walks following down each street
onto the new cement Main street,
which presented flood appearance.
The electrical display in the city
was not as severe as at many other
times, but was more vivid as it fol-
lowed down the lake. Reports COM
ing from those who were camping on
the shores of the lake said the cleo
trical display was startling. No
damage has been reported from the
lightning. Damage was done to gar
dens by the wind and hail.
Friday evening 80 members of
Frontier Encampment, No. 10, motor
ed to Coaticook, Que, and conferred
the Royal Purple degree upon class
of six candidates. The team taking
one of the candidates with them. The
degree was conferred in a very COM
mendable manner by degree Master
Ray Young.
After the work was completed,
lunch was served and a very pleasant
evening was spent. There was a
large attendance and the Newport
boys received royal welcome.
Traffic officer, Ora SWEET went to
Hoboken, N. j., Sunday night, where
he was called as witness at the
trial of one of the deserters of the
army, which Mr.. SWEET arrested in
Newport delivering him over to the

HOW A SUCKER"
WAS SAVED

A city man got a very glowing CT
cular from a Chicago development
company Offering him 10 acres of
land in Florida for the surprisingly
small sum of $4,000 peanut unit"
the circular called it. He could grow,
the circular said, thousand bushels
of peanuts on his 10 acres and could
sell the peanuts-allowing for low
prices-at So bushel. The city man
was impressed; but he sent the circu-
lar to the United States Department
of Agriculture with a query as to
whether or not the investment was a
good one Following are some SEN
fences from the letter he got in reply:
"The literature is of the kind design
ed to deceive city people in the North
and West who do not know anything
about farming" "The average return
from 10 acres of peanuts would not
exceed $500 to $500" "You could
buy a 100-acre farm in almost any of
the counties of western Florida, in
Guiding the one mentioned in the cir
cular, for the price these people ask
for 10 acres" "The whole unit sys-
tenn, whether it is pecans, peaches,
figs, cane, peanuts, hogs, or what not,
is simply means of selling land at
three to five times what it is worth
to ignorant or unweary small invest
ors." ITO pay $4,000 for this 10 acres
of land would stamp you as a suck
err of the rankest class" "All this
is without rejecting in any way on
Florida, for it is a good State and
lands are comparatively cheap there"

beads from Bohemia, and will here
after be able to meet the heavy de-
mands for bead novelties. Bright
facet cut beads appear in profusion
on the smartest and newest of eve
ming gowns. Jet bugles, too, are
used, but these are somewhat diff
cult to obtain.
Paris still loves the tunic dress of
|'1et or crystal. Certain devotees Of
fashion will have none Of the hip
extending draperies, but keep to the
natural silhouette, claiming it to be
more graceful and attractive. Els
pecially is this true in evening
dresses; some of the most interesting
of which are in combination of glis-
tening jet and milk white crystal.
A dress Of this type sketched to-
day is made of three tiers of looped
strings of beads encircling the body;
the centre one white and the other
two jet. A scarf train Of poppy red
tulle completes this toilet, which is
typical one of the moment.

eminent part in the world
of fashion. They are being
worn in every conceivable way.
Feathered headdresses are as clab-
crate as those of any Indian warrior.
Some, mounted on little transparent
caps, tower to great height, while
others, in the form of bands, are
worn low on the forehead with
pendent plumes falling over the
ears or shooting upward from the
middle of the brow
Dangling ostrich tips fall over the
ears in ringlet style 20 complete
new headdress. At recent evening
function young girl attracted much
attention by wearing in this manner
two poppy red tips attached to
tulle bandeau of the same vivid
shade.
A close second for popular favor
is the jet headdress which continues
to be seen at all the evening func-
lions in Paris. The most extrava-
giant of these have a halo of aigrette
surrounding a skull cap of cut jet
or sequins.
Fans Of Romance-and 500
Useful as Sunshades
BIRDS of every species are now
called upon to contribute to fans
which, adding as they do to the
picturesqueness of dress, fit in with
the present movement in clothes.
Spanish beauties have never consid-
cred themselves fully dressed with
out fans. To them fans have not
only meant romantic bits of femin-
ism but have served as sunshades
when stroliing in their gardens.
Fans always have been popular
and always viii be. Although not a
necessary part Of dress, they live in
definitely because of their beauty
and charm. In the reign Of Queen
Elizabeth men as we'll as women
carried them. In these vain times
small mirrors were inserted in the
backs. Later, in the eighteenth CEN
tury, the fan became such an i'm
portant article Of dress that the ut
most skill of artists and jewellers
was used in decorating them.
Fans increase in size and become
more vivid in coloring every day
Nine OF the largest ostrich plumes
are none too big to form the fash
lonable Kan, and the more brilliant
he color the better. Many curious
designs in feather fans are being
brought out for the autumn. The
plumage is grouped in various man.
ners to meet fashions demand for
mcessant change. Feathers, too,
vie with fur to form fringe and
trimming for wraps and dresses as
we'll as hats.
