Many Kings Of Sport. During
I Past Year Became Ex-King.
and vice-Versa -

= New York, Dec: 18-Wrile the
closing year of 1922 will be remem-
'bered long as year of supsets and
go-backs, it was also year of come
backs.
Many kings of sport became ex-
kings and quite few former leaders
in their line came back to the top.
Comebacks are always more inter-
esting because they are so, few. It's
easy to drop out of the race but its
hard to get back in.
Willie Hoppe, who had reigned
from the time he could reach the
table until late in 1921 as the king
Of billiards, came back, and his re-
turn to, the throne was the most
popular ascension of the year. He
was defeated last year by Jake Schaf-
fer and in coming back as the cham
pion this year, he removed all doubts
as to his abittysby ffinishing first
in a field Of six Of the worlds best
players.
l.. Perhaps he isn't as great as he
once. was. Certainly he is not the
sure, confident artist of years ago,
but still he is the greatest player of
them all. '>'''s
Jack Scott, the big North Carolina
farmer, was the most remarkable
comeback of the baseball year. Scott
slid out Of the National League and
headed for the scrap-heap on the as
sumption tina, he, he'd 4 bad arm II

ton, got berth with the New York
Giants, won eight games for them
and was one of the stars in the world
series .. q S-'',''' y 2

the Chicago White Sox, was another
noted comeback. The=-Rebet:. dis

TAILORS ABANDONING
 OLD l'HOOK AND EYE'
Newer Modes Supersede Former Bane of Illus bands Lives; Pepper Is One Style.

London, Aug. 16-The last "hook and eye" manufacturer in London has gone out of business! Think of this, all harassed husbands whose recol- lections can go back 20 years!
 Where we bought hundreds of thousands of hooks and eyes ten years ago." said the manager of Hars rods Stores, i've don't buy five thou sand in a twelvemonth. The poor old hooks and eyes have been superseded.
 The first thing to take their place was the press-stud (comm only known as the spopper). This is remaining increasingly popular because it Is much heater and easier to adjust. Elastic is another substitute which is being increasingly used.
 But what really sounded the death of hooks and eyes was the slip-on dress, which is becoming increasingly popular and. of course, requires no fastenings at all. But don't worry about the departure of hooks ana eyes. They were both clumsy and ugly.
 Other articles have suffered sim liar eclipse. Years ago we used ro buy huge quantities of buttons fol sewing on costumes. No tailor-made garment would have been complete without them. Today they have gone completely, their place being taker either by buttons of the same cIotr as the coat or, If bone buttons art | used, only one is required"

Track Team Head Is Canoe Counsellor
 at Summer Camp

Miss Helen Clark. head of the High school track team and who has been acting as a canoe counsellor at the senior department of the Camp Quin- ipeck, at South Farplee, Vt. will re- turn from camp on August 31, to her nome at 80 Grown street.
 Miss Clark has had a thoroughly deHghtful vacation and also many very interesting experiences. She participated in the elaborate water regatta which was staged several weeks ago by the camps in the v1- cinity of Farrlee. During the summer she has also taken part in hiking trips to various points in the White Mountains and to Lost River. A few days ago Miss Clark was a member of large canoeing party up the Con- necticut river. Over a score or canoes each holding four or five girls made the trip. The big thrill came in shooting the rapids in the river. Althouhg it took two hours and 45 minutes to go up the river only 55 minutes was consumed in the return trip.
 At several of the intercamp confer ences, Miss Clark has met Miss Eliza beth Pullman, also of this city, who is vacationing at Camp Aloha in Ver- mont

 Not at All Elusive.

It was a year ago in cherry blossom time that I first saw her. Clad in the blue kimono and dark red skirt of the Japanese school girl. and with her hair in a braid down her back, she sat with a younger sister on the front row at a private recital given by foreign musicians. But it IS no task to catch a glimpse of this little princess; at any sunrise, when the Kuni family is in the capital, she may be seen going from the family palace along the moat and into the imperial palace to make her daily prayers at the imperial sancrum.
 It would seem that she is econom- ical, too. Just the other day offleials of the Imperial Household Depart ment carried to the Prince Regent an wedding. It totalled 5.0O0,000 yen; 1t was too much; the Princess agreed and the amount was cut In half.
 Although rumor has it that the his future bride, they have not seen each other since the Princess was three years old. Really the match was made in January, 1918. but 1t was not announced until Marcn, 1921. Formal announcement came in June of this year. and the bethrotha1 cere- mony will be held in September. The wedding, it is said. will be in April
 Out-of-Doors Girl.
 It is the out of doors that Princess Nagako feels most at home During leisure hours she is generally with her sisters on the tennis court at her home or back a little farther wading about in her rice field or tending the vegetables and flowers. She is fond of outings; when the plum blossoms are at their best the family goes to a villa at Atami, and when the cher ry blossoms are out they go to Kyoto Summers are spent at the seashore.
 Just recently the family spent the weekend at the beach in Chiba Pre- lecture, and the photographs show that although Princess Nagako vii some day sit on the lecquer throne ir the coronation room of the ancient palace at Kyoto this does not take away any of the joy of wading about in the water or in digging clans ir the sand.
 Under guidance of her instructors the Princess followed avery step al

Capital ships poison gas, the warfare in China and even Russian debts have been ana lyzed for her benefit until she is said to be thoroughly familiar with them. It was not long ago that after one of these lectures she wrote:

Ethics, Chinese classics, Japanese language and Literature, English, French, history, geography, interna- t1onal politics and sciences have been taught her since.

FAIRFIELD

The roads of Fairfield have been gree during the summer, but widen ing the Post road in front oT the town hall is one of the best plans de- cided upon by the town.
 The road is not extremely wide at this point and automobiles are often forced to go onto the side. The car tracks cause some trouble to the au- tomobilists for they are raised above the level of the road. The road is being widened four feet. It is ex- pected that the work will be finished at the end of this week.

AMPHIBIOUS FIELDER CEASES HOT ONE INTO
 LAKE; BATTER IS OUT.

Newman, H., Aug. 16-Twas a hot day and a hot game.
 Newman's and Champaign's ball teams played fast and furious.
 Suddenly one of the visitors con- nected and the ball shot like a rifle bullet out towards a lake back of Outflelder Dennis. The outfe1der ran after the ball and the batter ran around the bases.
 The ball struck the lake; Dennis jumped into the water and started to swim for the ball, which he caught and threw to the third baseman in time for the umpire to call: "Out!"
 The webbed glove helped Dennis to make fast time through the water like a duck.

MICHIGAN MAYOR LIFTS
 BATHING SUIT ssLIMTT'i

St. Joseph, Mich. Aug. 16 = The happer vote is solidly behind Mayor A. R. Morford. Why? Because he has removed the limit of feminine bathing attire. By reason of Mayor Morford's sanign attitude all of the neighboring beaches have broken into violent rash of one-piece bathing suits.
 St. Joe isn't modest,'' says Mayor Morford, but it champions sensible sex garb because it believes swim ming is one of the greatest outdoor sports. Some bathing beaches are so strictly and prudishly regulated that they are coming to slow death Such fate will not befan St. Joe if I can help it.

THE WOMAN OF PoIsE,

On1e a rarity, is now to be observed and admired upon every hand. Indeed, no other woman can flourish long in the midst of this modern, complicated life. In the home, in business, in so- cial life, the woman who is serene and confident wins, while the nervous, Mustered individual wastes her talents and gets nowhere. Of course, poise is dependent mainly upon sound health and steady nerves. If you feel that you are being kept back in this way,
 why not turn to that great woman's remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound, which was manufac- tured from a thorough understanding Adv.
