Old Man Weather
FrOWns on Juniors

A heavy rain kept the Junior Twilight
League from playing their regular sched-
uled game yesterday afternoon. The
Nationals were booked to meet the troop
boys and although the playing field was
in good condition for a game, suffic-
lent number of the youngsters failed to
show up. The Junior League diamond
has very little clay in it's composition and
does not hold water for any length OF
time. For this reason it takes a very
hard rain to keep the boys from par
ticipating in their favorite pastime.
The Red Wings will meet the ObelisIls
this afternoon. The batteries will prob
ably be as follows: Obelisks-Stubbins
and Schools; Red Winss-M. Smith and
B. Bell.

Way In Which
Girls Can Cut
Clothes Bill

WASHINGTON, July 1e.-Uncle
Sans Department Of Agriculture does
/ work Of many interesting sorts, its
! ramif1cations extend in diverse direc-
tons, not solely included under the
subject of agriculture, and one Of the
most helpful of these Is aiding in the
subjugation of the still high cost of
clothing. A recent publication of the
department declares that the business
girl, with a reasonable amount Of zeal
and talent, can use part Of her spare
time to such effect that she can cut in
half her clothes bill.
In the first place, says the circular,
1t must be granted that the important
way to reduce costs is to eliminate as
far as possible the items Of labor and
distribution. In other words, the bust
ness girl should make her own cloth
ing, otherwise, unless she's wizard at
nosing out bargains. she stands little
chance of reducing her clothing bud
get.
The business girl may claim, says
Uncle Sam, that she has not the time
or energy left after a strenuous days
work; but a skilled sewer who enjoys
sewing as an interesting and profitable
change OF occupation can always
find time and energy. In this connec-
ton, the department cites the case Of
a girl in a government department,
who, with the aid Of the circulars and
extension work Of the Agriculture De-
partment, was very successful keeping
her wardrobe supplied at compare
lively low cost, one half In fact what
the same clothing would have cost
ready made.
For SIC she bought materials to
make a pussywiIlow taffeta and geor-
gette crepe dress for social occasions.
which, she said, she could not dupli-
cate in quality at a store for less than
$S5. Her business dress or serge and
crepe de chine would have been
priced at $40 or more If made OF the
good fabrics she bought for 1850.
Her evening dress. also, Of taffeta
and silver lace, cost only s21, although
1t was modelled after one seen at q
shop at a much higher price.
This wardrobe, augmented by two
dresses for which materials were
bought, brought the total UP to $t0804,
is not elaborate, though sufficient for
the needs of the gwearer, 1t was said,
and, having variety Of clothing she
was able to attend many social func-
tions she otherwise would not have.

PITTSBURG PLAYER
DOES GREAT STUNT

When Max Carey. fieet-footed Pitts
burg outfieIder. poled out six hits in six
times at bat in the July 7th, game with
the Giants he was the third National
League player to perform this feat in
modern baseball. Max reached first base
nine times in this game, an eighteen inn
ing affair, drawing three free passes in
addition to his sextette of bingles. George
Cutshaw made six hits in as many times
at bat in 1915 while he was a member of
the Brooklyn team and Dave Bancroft of
the Giants performed the same stunt in
1920.

I noon, the first beginning at 1880 and

afterward.
Leaders In Both
Witherill, Johnson, WaIthers, O..
Sheppard, and White will enter the

Juniors will meet at 1880.
The Juniors have been quite active
in the sailing game recently and have
requested the club to designate some
certain day that they may obtain the
boats each week for their races. In all
probability the request will be granted
for the experts are pleased by the re-
newed interest they are taking in the
club activities.

Mr.. Brannigan
Very Mysterious

A mysterious stranger answering to
the name of Mr.. Branigan. we'll
dressed, suave, and plausible in man
ner, but elusive in the matter Of ad-
dress, has recently been causing some
slight embarrassment to various
firms of Jackson, Michigan, by call
ing on Detroit concerns and placing
fictitious orders for material which the
company does not want, and cannot
use.
What his object is, and why he
should thus inconvenience himself in
behalf of company on whose pay
roll he does not appear, is matter
of mystery. He has however been
very active in Detroit, as witness a
few Of his recent operations:
Orders Awnings.
He ordered from the Detroit AVN
ing Company, a full set Of awnings for
Earl Motors new building building
conceived in Branigan's own fevered
brain. and built of thin air.
thin air.
From the United Fuel and Supply
Company he requested immediate
shipment of 100000 yards Of gravel
a. commodity very little in demand at
the Earl plants.
At the Union Drawn Steel Com
pany, he increased the company's or
der for a special kind Of steel from
/, 900 to 5000 pounds.
Introducing himself to officials OF
the Detroit Screw Works, he de-
manded to have all Earl blueprints
shown to him. These he checked over
carefully, authorizing certain changes.
Ship Many Cars.
Furthermore, he made arrangements
with one of the lake transportation
companies to ship 45O cars to Chi
cago and Milwaukee. Had he sue
ceeded in shipping these cars, the
Chicago and Milwaukee distributors
would have been highly pleased, as
even with the factory working night
and day, it was impossible to meet
fully the demand.
To the Advertising Department,
too has come word of Branigan's &C
tivities. Two Detroit firms recently
sent representatives to Jackson as his
reouest. one with the information
that Mr.. Earl wanted to see him on
something very important. When
asked. of course, Mr.. Earl knew
nothing about the matter.
Another concern in Detroit called by
long distance to inquire about a large
order for electrotypes that was. ac-
cording to Branigan, to be placed at
once.
10000 Menu Cards.
A well-known printing house also
was the victim of the practical joker
to the extent of receiving from
Branigan, an order for 10000 menu
cards for banquet. An order num-
her was quoted, but upon investiga-
ton, the order in question was
found to call for quantity of high
grade bronze bushings to go into the
Earl car.
Latest reports come from two well
known Detroit Ventilating Concerns;
also two more printing houses, from
all of whom he requested bids on
large quantities Of work in their re-
spective lines.
Detroit manufacturers have been
warned not to heed the fanciful re-
quests of the mysterious stranger.
