MAKE INJURED TACKLE
PENN'S GRID CAPTAIN

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5.-Joseph
p. Wilson, of Corning, N. Y, will
be captain Of the Pennsylvania
varsity eleven next year, his cleo
ton coming as the Quakers were
travelling across New Mexico on
their way home from California.
Wilson played right tackle last
season and was unfortunate enough
to break a small bone in his right
ankle n few days before leaving
for the Coast. This injury kept him
on the sidelines in the California
contest.

When Danny Kramer, Of
Philadelphia, stepped into the
ring at Madison Square Garden
last Friday night to loses his
last grasp on the featherweight
title, he wore a set of wine-col-
ored trunks.
This gave Kid KapIan a tip
that he'd been looking for ever
since he took UP fighting seri-
ously. He says to himself, says
he" I'll just tear those old-rose
trousers loose from that boy"
which he almost did.
just what effect the color of

his opponent is something that
the ringside gamblers are still
trying to figure out on the
fronts of their stiff bosomed
shirts.
But it is not half so strange
as the phenomena produced by
the difference in costume be-
tween the men who actually
fight and the million or so ring
supernumeraries who introduce
the fighters before the match
and carry them out -afterward.
One set throws on the mil

to tout could be pinched for

And down in the orchestra pit

Keeping Up to Scratch.

Keeping up to scratch Is one of the
most difficult things in the world.
1t Is so much easier to let down. to
take things easily, to rest on your
former glory.
Perhaps when you were In school
you made big marks and proved an
excellent scholar during your fresh
man year. And then. instead of stick.
ing to the job and keeping up your
record, you let things slide. secure in
the belief that your past performances
would serve to give you the reputa
ton of a clever pupil
And now. perhaps, when you're out
of school and you're more interested
in one particular man than you ever
were In schoolwork, you are uncon-
sciously repeating just that process of
letting down which took place after
your freshman year.
You've been going with him for
some time now, and you're both on a
footing Of easy. delightful friendship.
so that you are never uncomfortable
in each others presence.
You see each other four times, a
week. and everything seems to be run
ming most smoothly and pleasantly.
However, you are the one who usu.
ally SpoilS the arrangement. And you
do 1t quite unconsciousiy, too.
You get into the habit of thinking
to yourself: Now, / needn't change
my dress tonight. Nobody but Ron
ME is coming, and he knows me so
we'll he won't mind what l wear. I'll
just keep on this old blue serge suit.
It's so much more comfortable"
Or perhaps you decide that although
your hair is not particularly tidy. still
the effort of giving 1t a good brushing
and rearranging II seems rather un-
necessary in view OF the fact that
Ronnie will love you any way, no mat
ter how your hair appears.
AT first he won't notice these little
habits of neglect. He'll only be
vaguely conscious that you're not
quite the radiant vision he used to see
when he first began calling on you.
He'll rather miss the endless variety
of dresses you used to wear for his
benefit, but he won't say anything
until one evening he has occasion to
contrast you with somebody else.
1t will be a sorry day for you when
one evening as you're sitting together
some friends drop in Unexpectedly and
he notices with a start how dainty
and fresh and pretty the other girls
appear in contrast to your rather dull
businesslike appearance in the old
blue serge.
When you're setting about the con-
quest of the Great Male, no effort Is
too great. You prink and primp and
take all the pains in the world with
your appearance.
And when you're bent on holding
that same man, you've got to keep up
to scratch. You can't let down and
count on his undying affection.
You mustn't get the idea that be-
cause you looked pretty last year. he
still thinks you're the worlds prettiest
in your old suit.
Keep up the old record, IL you want
to keep him.

Ice as a feature of interior decora-
ton is a novelty. 1t is one that should
not be overlooked by the home deco
rator who wishes to have room
look as we'll as fell cool. Nothing could
be better for the purpose than a chunk
of ice, clear as crystal, standing in
large bowl or other ornamental con-
tainer. Enormous crystal balls on
pedestalS are frequently introduced
into decorative schemes purely for
their ornamental value. Large blocks
of crystal ice may be almost as deco
rative and have the distinct advan-
tage of making rooms more liveable
in hot weather. The ice tempers the
atmosphere and makes 1t appreciably
cooler. 1t is important to place the
ice in the right position to make the
most of the chilling agent. 1t should
be in a draught, one that blows into
the room, not out of it. Sometimes the
window sill, if a wide one, makes an
excellent standard for the container.
Sometimes a table or pedestal before
the window proves even better, and
adds more to the decorative value.
Or again the block of ice may be
ever way the wind blows the benefit
of the cooled air is kept within the
four walls of the room.
Ice Tempers Atmosphere.
We are all familiar with the effect
of the gulf stream on countries near
1t. The winds that blow across this
heated body of water make climates
decidedly milder. In a reversed order,
and to very small degree, the cake
of ice changes the atmosphere of a
room, for 1t is the circulation of the
air over the ice that lowers the tenn
perature.
If the ice is in the living room, II
makes the room more hveable. If it is
in a sick chamber, then it acts as a
curative agent, for it relieves the tor
rid atmosphere which saps vitality.
The cooled air makes ii easier for an
invalid to recuperate. Therefore, ice
used in rooms as described is not
only decorative, but actually bene-
fetal.

liam. who is a healthy, stodgy lad,
who accepts the conditions that sur
round him no matter what they may
be. He Is a creature of regular hab-
its and good appetite, and the loss of a
meal would distress him and sharpen
his appetite and his speed.
But his little brother Benjamin Is
not like that at all. 1t seems next to
impossible for him to fall into line on
any occasion. meal time not excepted.
He sits up in bed and looks wonder
ingly around, as though seeing the IA
miliar room for the first time. Poked
by an anxious brother or sister. he
begins to get stocking on, and un.
less poked again the next one will
not go on for another quarter of an
hour.
He is late for breakfast, and al.
though his mother hates to do it-he
him to swallow-he Is not allowed any
breakfast. He starts off to school
without mentioning breakfast, and
lunchtime finds him flushed but with
out any enthusiasm for eating. He
Is so weary and inattentive to every.
thing about him that his mother sends
him to bed, where he soon falls asleep
to waken a couple OF hours later quite
bright and ready for a frolic with
Rover.
Now II Is plain that something must
be done about this. Benjie must eat
on time and William must be held TO
account for promptness and speed

ficiently large for the ice to stand in

the greater its power to chill the air;

not to be ignored. A jardiniere is ex.

cessfully as an ice bowl. A white en-
amel dishpan is one of the best con-
tainers. 1t has to be decorated to
make 1t ornamental. However, this
need not be difficult.
Paint the Pan.
For example, it can have the han
dies painted green and the rim done in
the same tone. A narrow band may
be painted around the top near the
rim, and this may be outlined with a
hair-striping of black. Motifs can be
painted in impressionistic style on the
outside of the pan. The basket in the
etching embroidery design makes a
charming decoration for this purpose
1t can be painted in oils or sealing
wax, the flowers in colors to harmo-
nize with any chosen scheme in a
ia i.
and the lattice work of the basket In
black. Use at washes for the flowers
and leaves. Outlining these with black
makes the work more a decorative
type. The ships design can be used
also. AS 1t Is a waterscape it is ap.
propriate for the use.
These designs will be sent free OF

Scarf Collar on New Autumn Coat

fcal coat collars might be anything

essential characteristic Of any coat

ness.
Just at present there is great prom.
Use in the new scarf collar, which has
appeared on some of the very newest
Autumn coats. The sketches show
three examples Of this. At the top
there is a cleverly made Autumn coat
of striped material. The shawl collar
extends to the hem of the coat and
buttons back at each side, forming
pockets. Below it is a black satin col
lar that forms a scarf on one side
ner is a coat collar that looks as II 1t
was a separate scarf laid about the
neck. II is in reality three scarfs-
one Of yellow, one of pink and one of
tan, laid together and attached to form
the collar of brown velveteen coat.
The colors of the scarfs match the
colors in the printed frock.
This scarf type of collar has even
been made use OF by the furriers. A
lovely fur wrap OF light caracui has a
wide scarf of the fur at one side. It
is thrown across the front and over
the left shoulder. hanging down the
back to the waistline.
One thing you may have noticed
concerning collars for both coats and
coat frock@their tendency to rise
high at the back of the neck, framing
the neck in a graceful outline. This
is true of these various scarf collars
as we'll as of the new Queen Anne COL
lars-of which you will doubtless hear
more anon.
