Back in 1909 the Pirates and
Detroit were battling it out for
the worlds championship The
series was tied at three games all.
and the final game was to be
played in Detroit. Both teams were
keyed up to the highest pitch of
nervous excitement. The tension
was terrible, and even the vete
rams showed signs of cracking under
the strain. Baseball experts. watch
ing the proceedings. declared that
the breaks would decide. The teams
were too evenly match to settle, the
issue by baseball alone, they declared.
Following the sixth game. which
Detroit won, Fred Clark called a

Clark said, and proceeded to open
the liquid.
They all had one. And then an
other. Then they fell on the sand

other round Of beer.
Clark talked to them Of various
things, Hans Wagner took up the
conversation. Babe Adams started
telling stories. Not a word was
said about the series. about base.
ball At II O'Clock, Clark called a
halt.
We'll" he remarked, guess it's
bedtime. See all you fellows at the
park tomorrow. Good night!
That was all.
The next day the Pirates went
on the field and, behind the pitch
ing Of Babe Adams, won the game
and the series by an to . score,
the largest score Of the series.
Not an error was made.
That was one beer party that
worked successfully. OF course,
Clark doesn't give all credit to the
beer. That was mel ely incidental.
The beer was included beca use it
would serve to keep the mems minds
far away from the battle that doomed

with a grin.

Other People.

Other people count We like to
put on an independent air now and
then and announce that they don't,
and that we don't care what they
think and still less what they say.
And all the time we know that it
isn't so. Life moves about YOU and
me and the neighbors. We all count
tremendously.
People count a great deal where
the children are concerned. If peo-
pie don't like them, the children are
not going to have a very good time,
either working or playing. Neither
occupation is much good unless YOU
have an audience and a partner.
Either of them demands people.
So it would seem better on all
sides to teach children to respect all
people, like as many of them s pos
sible, and love chosen few. AS
usual the place to begin is at home.
Show the children that the family
is dear to YOU, SO dear indeed that
you would never say anything or do
anything to hurt them, but that you
would Inconvenience yourself no end

them by your actions that bringing

have to go out of business. To be
sure, there are still flower trimmed
hats-both for Winter and Summer,
Autumn and Spring. But there are
women aplenty who would rather
hesitate at buying a hat trimmed
with fiowers-and. if they did buy
it, would doubtless snatch off the
flowers after a day or SO to replace
them with ribbon or plummage-
that would most willingly wear
artificial flowers as trimming to an
evening or afternoon frock
Here's something else interesting:
The artificial flowers that are worn
on hats are very often convention
allied in some way. They are made
so as not to look quite natural
black roses, scarlet stems and leaves,
roses and cactus flowers frosted
with silver, and leather lilies
Whereas many of the flowers made
to be worn as adornment of frocks
are made with the utmost effort to
reproduce the original.
If you are planning any afternoon
or evening frocks for Autumn now,
don't forget the possibilities of flow
ers as trimming.
The higher they are placed on the
shoulder the better. At least this
has been the smart location for arti-
>.
A draped evening frock shows two
large roses Eau naturel' with rose
colored petals, heavy rubber stems
and thorns and fabric leaves. They
are placed so that the rose blossoms
cover the left, hip, and the thick
life!lke stem hangs down somewhat
below the hem of the frock.
A rather clever idea is to have
some sort Of artificial fower-or two
placed on the slender shoulder
strap of the low-cut dinner gown.
This trick was observed in Paris as
soon as the fad for placing flowers
on the shoulder became smart.
The afternoon frock of lace or silk
often shows rather small corsage
placed we'll toward the shoulder.
about where it would appear if worn
on, the revers of a coat. Two medium
sized roses are attached to an evening
frock, just where the boat-shaped
neck line comes nearest to the
shoulder.
Roses possibly lead in fashions
garden of artificial flowers. Some
times they are frosted With silver
and sometimes the petals are in
terspersed with ostrich feather. Chrys-
anthemums are rapidly becoming a
rival OF roses. They are usually to be
found among the more naturalistic of
artificial flowers.
The sketch shows large artificial
rysanthemums used in combina
tion with cream lace to trim an
otherwise perfectly plain white geor-
gette frock. Tulips. cactus flowers,
orchids, clematis and daises occupy
choice spots in fashions garden.

Our Children-By Angelo Patri

help the youngsters.
And when mother says. I've asked
the Sweets over for the evening"" it
won't help matters any to have you
say. "Of all the bores on earth they
are the worst. Always talking abort
their stomachs or their cars. I sup
pose they cant help it, The Sweets
never were famous for their table
talk. but wish they would send their
regrets just the same The chill
dren will have a strange background
of appreciation of the Sweets. Yet
they are good people.
OF all people for whom the chill
dren should have a deep respect, the
teachers come first. If there is .he
slightest sign of adverse criticism. if
the youn gsters sense that you do
not believe the teacher to be alto
gether right and to be revered. you
have destroyed the usefulness of
that teacher as far as your children
are concerned. The tilt Of an eye
brow. an untimely smile, an un-
guarded word will be sufficient to
cancel the teacher. Then what have
you done?
The same thing holds for the
church folk. If you want your chill
dren to keep in touch with the church
and the church people you must re.
member to speak of them with re-
spect and appreciation. Nothing less
than your whole hearted support will
do. Children are mind readers Tou
cannot deceive them as 20 your con-
victions.
1t comes down then to this: If we
would have people like our chill
dren, if we would have all doors
open to them, we must teach them
that people and the things they
stand for are likable. People count.

Ny Neighbor Says:

If you have a small quantity
of pie crust left over, roll thin.
cut into squares. sprinkle with
sugar and cinnamon and bake
until crisp. These are very good
plain or they may be served
with sauce or a dessert.
When making jam be careful
that only dry fruit is used. If
it is wet there will be Difficult
ty in keeping the jam, and it
will become moldy very quick
ly. Boil the fruit as soon as
possible after gathering.
If too much salt has been
added to soup, slice a raw po-
tato and boil it in the soup for
a few minutes. The potato
will absorb much of the salt.
A little vinegar cooked with
coarse meat helps to make it
tender. or the meat may be
dipped into vinegar before
cooking.
Have any of you when max
ing soap used an egg beater for
stirring it after it is put to-

use for that purpose. 1t takes
just about half the time re-

Glass dishes and lamp globes
when new should be put in a
large pan, with cold water to
cover them, then place the pan
on the stove and let the water
come to the boil very slowly,
BY doing this the glass will
last longer, and will stand the
heat better. China can be

Today's planetary aspects are good,

When Mrs. Boomer the Nighthawk
told Peter Rabbit that her cousin,
Mrs. Whip-poor-will. had no more use
for nest than had she, herself, Peter
was most impo1ite. He came right
out and said he didn't believe it. Yes.
sir; he said he didn't believe II. You
see. until he had found the two eggs
of Mrs. Boomer on a fiat rock in the
Old Pasture it had never entered his
head that any bird could get along
without a nest.
But though Peter said he didn't be-
lieve tt, he couldn't be satisfied until
he had found out for himself. You
see. there was doubt in Peters
mind. The more he thought about it
the more he wondered if he had been
little hasty in refusing to believe
what Mrs. Boomer had told him. Over
In the Green Forest he could hear
Whip-poor-will calling his own name
over and over and over again until it
seemed as II he never paused to take
breath.
"Pll go over there and find out for
myself" thought Peter, and away he
went.
He had no trouble in finding Whip
poor-will But by the time he found
him it was dark in the Green Forest.
Good evening" said Peter. Are
you HFlng around mere!
Whip-poor-will stopped calling his
own name long enough to reply. 1T
looks like it. doesn't it?'
Peter admitted that it did. Then I
suppose Mrs. Whip-poor-will is living
here, too" said Peter.
Certainly. Where else would she
be likely to be living?" retorted Whip
poor-will
Peter couldn't answer this, and so
he didn't try. Il don't see her around
anywhere" said he.
That is because you don't look in
the right place" replied Whippoor-
will.
What is she doing?" Peter asked.
'Attending to her own business.
which just now happens to be her
home duties" replied Whip poor-will
Then she must have nest and
eggs" cried Peter.
Must she?" Whip-poor-w asked.
Hasn't she?" demanded Peter.
That's for you to find out" retort-
ed Whip-poor-will. And this was all
that Peter could get from him.
OF course, Peter hunted around

not to be hunting. But it was dark

down to the river was thick with
trees. we worked steadily for weeks
cutting away the screen between US
and the water view until at last we
caught. glimmer of the river shin
ing through. We hated to chop down
any of. these trees, but the outlook
was SO beautiful when we began to
advance the work that we couldn't
object to sacrificing them.
After we had cleared the view on
our own ground we had to get the
consent of people living farther down
their trees, whose tops cut off our
vista In one case we paid for the wood
and had it cut for the owners; in the
other case we found neighbors who
were only too glad to help make our
view more beautiful"
This idea of carefully building
landscape vistas interested US very
much, and is we motored through the
countryside afterward we noticed
how overgrown many beautiful sites
were and thought how much .lovelier
they would be If the trees were ju-
diCiuusty cut out here and there.
Shrubbery, too. may be cut away so
that a vista may be formed. Even
when there is no water to frame,
there is often distant mountain tip,
or perhaps even decorative weather

HOW TT STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
ITO Sleep Like q Ton"

1t has. been asserted that this
phrase originated in the corruption
of the French word "taupe" into
top" "Taupe" Is dormouse and
they do say in French III dort CONNIE
un taupe"'-"he sleeps like. a DOR
mouse" the allusion being, of course.
to the fact that the fieldmouse hiber-
mates in it's long winter sleep.
There is no need, however, to go
so far for the explanation of the
phrase, which is to be found right in
the words, as we usually use them.
For it is well known that when. top
is at the acme of it's spin, the speed
of its -gyrations steadies 1T so that 1T
seems not to move at all. When in
this state, in top spinning parlance,
the top is said to be "asleep!' This
is true not only in English but in
French also, where the word for top
Is "sabot" and very commonly
used expression is "Dormis CONNIE
un sabot'-an exact translation of
our Ito sleep like a top"
