: What determines a spot in

! What determines a spot in
which an outfielder shall play?
Answered by
GEORGE BURNS
outfieIder, Cincinnati Reds: Now
starting his sixteenth year Of prefes-
,ionaI baseball. A wizard in fielding
bad arounders in the outfieId.
Common sense decides largely the
exact spot in. which an outfelder
chooses to play. II he has iris
Speakers ability to 90 back on ball
he may play rather shallow in the
field, even though heavy hitter Is
up. For the most part, however,
outnelders should take into consider
alton the batters, the score. the time
and the game in choosing the spot in
which they will play.

pouring a "llbation to the gods A
cup of wine was thrown on the floor,
or tossed high and fell back on the
table, as a preliminary to the business
of eating. 1t was an offering, sacri-
fee, to the gods begging them to be
propltious to the feast-a pagan grace
before meat. The wine accidentally

by magic of contact, more personally

That was all the mother evergreen
told the little tree; but, though 1t was
not happy all summer, IL spent part
of the time trying to guess what II
would wear when winter came that
would make the peach trees envious

"Wait and see, my child" replied
the mother tree. 'The winter days

But one morning the little ever
green awoke to find herself wrapped
in beautiful ermine coat. her gre
gown peeking through in places and
making a beautiful picture. but she
did not know how beautiful until she
heard bare tree sigh and then whis-
per to another naked tree, Look al
that beautiful ermine coat the ever
green tree is wearing"
YES" the other sighed, 1--WE wear
dainty gowns in the summer, but the
evergreens wear their ermine and dia-
monds in the winter like kings and
queens. How nice 1t must be to be an
evergreen tree. Our naked limbs will
not hold coat as theirs do"
At last little evergreen tree was
happy. Somebody enyled her, and the
next summer when all the peach trees
were wearing their pretty pink frocks
she kept her thoughts on her rich coat
of ermine that she wore in the winter
and all the other trees wished they
could wear.
Perhaps, like the little evergreen
tree, some of us do not appreciate the
things we have because we are too
busy wishing for something that be-
longs to others when our own posses
sions may be worth far more.

Mr.. James H. Allen, of 26 Forbes
ST., Rochester, N. Y, suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this
terrible disease left him helpless and
unable to work.
He finally decided. after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the accu-
mulated impurities, commonly called
uric acid deposits, We're dissolved in
the joints and muscles and expelled
from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and f.
nally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery, which
he called Allenrhu, to others who took
it, with what might be called marvel
Gus success. After years Of urging he
decided to let sufferers everywhere
know about his discovery through the
newspapers.
The blessed relief this marvellous
prescription quickly gives has made

PAULINE

DAULINE is a musically pleasing
i feminine name which is really of
itself a diminutive and an endear
ment. II means little and has a quaint
origin, in that it Is said to be derived
from Paullus or Paulus, the name
given TO one of the Aemilian gems of
Rome, who was small in stature. In
Europe, this straightway became Paul,
a name made immortal by the splendid
saint of that name.
Paula was honored as the feminine
Of his name and also as the name of
the friend and correspondent of Saint
Jerome, the mother of Eustochium.
Paola is consequently found in Italy
and named the heroine of one of the
most exquisite romances of history,
that of Paola and Francesca.
Paollna is the diminutiye of Paola,
and paulina and Paolina are fayorite
forms everywhere. Spain has always
retained Paula and. curiously enough,
the Teutonic version Is identical with
the soft vowel formation of the Span
ish. Pauline became more popular
than any other form in France for the
sake of that favorite grandchlld whose
Christian name is almost the only one
mentioned In Madame de Sovigne's let
ters. In fact. 1t is the only form com
monty recognized in France, though
the sister of Napoleon was called
Paulette by her own family. Italy has
evolved another form from Paola.
