AS far as most of us are concerned
there is little difference between such
terms as diamante, rhinestone and
strass when it is applied to trimming.
Likewise we speak of a frock worked
in brilliants-which means rhinestones
or strass. probably the latter.
OF course rhinestone used to mea n
a colorless paste stone. But now we
speak of red and blue and green rhine
stones. The terms are all very much
confused. The fact remains that all
this sparkling orna mentation is quite
effective.
The millinerS. as well as the dress
makers. are using lots Of these scin-
tillatinG little stones, in all colors, too.
The sketch shows white chiffon
evening frock which sparkles brilliant
ly because of the holly leaf panels
embroidered with strass, that are
used for trimming.

Washington Triple-Play
Was Most Extraordinary

That triple play made by the Ma
tionals in the third inning of the Sec
ond game of a Washington double Dill
in Philadelphia probably was the most
extraordinary three-ply killing ever
consummated in modern big league
baseball.
Five Nationals handled the ball to
erase the three Mackmen no catch OF
a liner was involved; there was no
real rundown during the play, and an
out was registered at every base ex-
cept home plate.
1t was a baseball freak.
Here's what happened in the Inning:
Galloway and Quinn drew passes
from Palmero. Bishop sent ground
,er to Bucky Harris, who was playing
nearer first than second base. The
middle-sacker, after grabbing the ball,
tried to tag out Quinn on the line, but
missed Bucky then heaved to Judge,
retiring Bishop.
Judge whipped the ball to Peclkin-
paugh covering second and Quinn was
touched out as he ran into the sack.
In the meanwhile, Galloway had
passed third base. Peck shot the ball
to Bluege and Galloway was trapped.
When Bluege threw to Ruel, Chick inn
mediately tried to regain third, but
found Bluege waiting with Ruers re-
turn when he got there.

Simple Method for Prevent
ing Milk Fever.

fprenared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Though most dairymen are familiar
with the successful air treatment Tor
initiating udders of dairy cows to pre-
vent fatal consequence from milk
fever a simple method for preventing
the disease is not so well known. ms
malady chiefly affects well-nourished'
fleshy, heavy-milking cows and gen.
orally follows closely the act OF
calving.
A preventive treatment suggested
by the bureau of animal industry,
United States Department of Agricui-
ture, consists in allowing susceptible
cow to retain in the udder for "A
hours after calving all the milk ex-
cept the small quantity required by
the calf. The milk should be taken II
possible from each quarter. Disten-
ton of the udder by the retained milk
naturally follows, as in the air treat
ment, and acts as a preventive against
milk fever. In the Island of Jersey
and at the Biltmore farms, North Car
DINA, where this practice Is common,
the number of milk-fever cases has
greatly decreased.
Sanitary conditions also should be
looked after, such as supply OF pure
air and clean stabling, with plenty
of clear, cool water and laxative
feeds, such as grasses and roots. The

BABE RUTH is IN
TWELFTH SEASON
Home-Run King Joined the
Yanks in 1920.

Babe Ruth is In his twelfth season
as a major league player. This Is also
his seventh season as member of the
Yankees. In addition to being the
greatest home-run hitter in baseball
history, he also holds the distinction
of being the only player to lead either
major league in both pitching and bat
ting. He won the batting champion
ship Of the American league In 1924
with an average Of 1873, and he led
the pitchers of that league in 1919
with eighteen victories and six defeats
for mark of $50.
In 1914 Ruth started his profess
sional career with the Baltimore club
of the International league. He also
played with the Providence club OF
the same league that year. During
that campaign he pitched and played
the outfield. He took part In 46 games
with those two teams during that sea-
son and he batted .231. In July of that
season he was sold to the Red Sox
for a price reported to be $1,000. he
took part in only four games with the
Red Sox during the remainder of that
campaign.
During 1915, his first full campaign
with the Boston club, Ruth played In
AZ games and batted .315. He was
used both In the box and in the out
field that year. During the next three
seasons the Red Sox continued to use
Ruth both as a pitcher and an out
fielder. In 1915 he played in 67 games
and he batted .272. In the following
season he participated in 81 games
and he batted 1926. In 1918 he batted
300 while playing in 95 contests.
During the season Of 1919, his last
as member of the Boston club, Ruth
established new record of 20 homers
In one campaign. He pitched and
played first base and also in the out
field during that season. He took part
in 40 games and he batted 1922 that
year. His present home run record
is 80.

Horse Is Paid Tribute
in New Motion Picture

The horse is paid tribute by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture in a new educational motion pic
ture, "The Horse and Man." The film
acknowledges the service which the
horse has rendered the human race
throughout the ages, recalls some of
the important roles he has played In
the drama of American history, and
directs attention to his economic i'm
portance In modern industrial life,
In spite of the fact that gasoline
has driven the horse-drawn turnout
from our bouleyards, and the belief
which exists among most city dwell
ers that the horse Is doomed to fol-
low the dodo, there are still more than
100000 horses providing power for
American farms. The popularity of
polo. the bride path, the race track,
and the chase is widespread and is
increasing.
Indian ponies, cow horses, cavalry
mounts, race horses, high steppers,
truck horses and buclxing bronchos,
share honors in 1.-THE Horse and

More Than One Way
TO Get Rid of Bore

One of the amusing and original
characters in Paris is M. Sacha Gui-
try, who made his fame as actor and
playwright and who has increased 1t
by the oddities of his temperament.
He is a witty, versatile and quick
minded man and is naturally inclined
to be impatient with bores. Recently
there was one who plagued him with
unnecessary calls. One day he burst
in on Guitry, who greeted him warm

Then Guitry poured jugful of wa

up in alarm.
"There now" exclaimed Guitry pet

The 'trick," however, is reported to
have worked admirably. The same

Keep Calf Off Pasture

Keep the young calf off pasture
until it is three months of age. Fresh
grass is too laxative in nature and
when added to a milk diet, scours
often result. Feed limited amounts Of
alfalfa hay or prairie hay but literally
of grain to the young calf. Whole oats
or cracked corn and bran or equal
parts of the three grains make good
calf feeds. Limit milk feeding to one
gallon or less at a feed.

Destructive Disease

Abortion is one of the most destruc-
tive diseases, economically, Of the cat
tie industry at the present time. The
one solution which seems most hope
full at this time is one of sanitation
and prevention. 1t consists in blood
testing each animal in herd and re-
moving those animals which show a
positive reaction. Care also must be
taken in introducing new animals into
the herd until they are proven to be
free of the disease.
