times to which China has not laid
claim as being so old in that country
that 1t was outworn and discarded CEN
turtles ago, is the new woman with a
magazine of her very own, published
in the interest of her development.
This publication, called the New
Woman, boldly states as Its object the
reform of the old society TO give more
honorable place TO women and the
new woman is described as "a joyous
being, of honest occupation, complete
personality, free, independent and
mutually helpful" says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch.

Kissing custom Centuries AGO.

Three hundred years ago it was a

house to welcome the men guests in
her husbands presence with a kiss. It
might be on lips, forehead or cheek.

dom of kissing in olden times is intro
duced by Sir Walter Scott in 1.-THE
Fair Maid of PERTH where one of the
characters says: Thou knowest, the
maiden who ventures to kiss Sleep

/ MAY REMODEL UNION JACK
lreIand's New Position in British Enc
pire Likely to Bring Change
in Famous Flag.

Among the lesser and more sentia
lneLtal sacrifices the British feel they
are making for Irish peace, there is
the prospect of the changed Union
Jack.
The diagonal red cross in the Union
Jack stands for Ireland. The original
national flag was the banner of st.
George, plain red cross ON a white
background. In 1906 the Scottish flag,
a white diagonal cross and a blue
background, was blended with the
English cross and placed over the
white upright cross, with blue
background of the diagonal white cross
being added.
On the death Of Charles the cross
of ST. George again became the ma
tional flag, but in 1T06, after the
union with Scotland, the cross stand
ard with the blue background was
restored. In 1901 the red cross of st.
PaTrick was super-imposed on st. An
drew's cross, making the present
Union Jack.

 The dual affair with New Haven will supplant the Red and Blacks participation in Pennsylvania relay carnival which cancelled at the last moment owing to the inability to ob- tain money to defray the expenses.
 The Andersonites are in fine shape, having been training for the Penn affair for two weeks and should score win over the Elm City tracksters. The Hilltoppers defeated college town athletes on two separate and dinstincr occasions last year and of course the visitors will be here for revenge. But we think that if they have any ideas of beating the locals this year they will be sadly mistaken as Coach An derson has under his wing the best track team in the history of the Lyon Terrace school

New Schedule By Admission
 Of Fitchburg

Fitchburg will officially become a member of the Eastern League on Tuesday. Because of the transfer of ing may be necessary Preparations are being advanced in Pat Moran's home town for a gala opening and reception to Jack Macks aggregation of players. Fitchburg's ball park is in fair condition. It will seat 2,50O persons, but additional stands will be built in case the Bay State burg proved a good town
 The one poor feature of the city, however, is the fact that it is harder to get in and out of than Worcester. This fact, it is said, may lead to a change in the Eastern League sched- Ule as Worcester and Springfield are scheduled to play some of the holiday dates together in the morning and af- ternoon and it will prove a tough proposition getting out of Fitchburg and into Springfield in time for the second game.

 In dull times a baseball player looks into sheaf of records and finds that there are thirty professional baseball leagues in any of which he might get a. job. In the thirty leagues are 216 teams which in creases his chances of employment 216 times against that of a Shake spearean actor. His salary depends very much upon his ability and his league rating.

 An injury to Eddie Collins kept the star second sacker of the White SoX on the bench. Manager Gleason had no extra infielder so he injected Evers into the line up.
 Notwithstanding that he had not played since 1917, the famous Trojan showed that he can still play the Keystone sack. He failed to hit safely, but drew two passes and fore ed in one run. In the field he ac- cepted six chances cleanly, several of his plays drawing applause.
