All ten replies were favorable: /: but the ten states were not able 10 satisfy Germany's desire for in- formation as to the interpretation of what would be her obligations under Article 1s of the League covenant relating to sanctions. More notes followed.
 Then came the negotiations lead Ing up to the Locarno pacts. They had been initiated by a German memorandum addressed to the French foreign minister. proposing a mutual security pact.
 France, in her reply Of June 16, 1925, stated that the adoption of security pact could only be con- ceired If Germany herself entered the League of Nations. Germany In her reply of July 20. 1925. de- nled any such necessity, but ex- pressed willingness to consider the two questions together.
 The upshot Of the writing was that the Allied contention was finally incorporated in the Locarno agreements signed at London, when 1t was provided that the agreements were to "enter into force as soon as all notifications have boen deposited and Germany has become member of the League of Nations"

TODAY'S
SPORTORIAL
BY Kirk Miller

Next Friday the Western
baseball teams move into the
Eastern sector of the American
League for the first time during
the new season and it falls to
Washington's lot to be enter
tanning the club from beyond
the Aileghenys that is making
the greatest bid of that group
for eminence.
The Chicago White Sox have
kept up in the race 10 these
three weeks! Eddie Collins
club has shown every evidence
of being the other factor in the
American League besides the
Griffmen, that will be looked
to by anti Gothamites to stop
one of the greatest offensive
clubs that has graced the mod
ern game.
It may just be possible that
a good, constant cross fire be-
tween the Sox and the Griffs,
properly directed at the Yankee
forces, will dilute the New York
strength down to reasonable
proportions.
But so far the Washington
attack, at least in the align
ment which Harris adhered to
up until Saturday, hasn't made
a dent in Miller Higgins
armour.

A large portion OF the Baltimore

len, the young Stanford Paper Com

claimed the Baltimore all-events
champion with a set OF 1907 for
Is games, an average Of approx
mately 120.
At last reports, Perez Elicit and
Earl McPhiIOmy, Stanford bowl
ers, were i'm second place in the
doubles and Arthur Urban and
Max Rosenberg were third. The
Stanford team ranked second in
its event.
At first glance it would seem the
Washingtonians made a remarkable
showing on foreign battle-ground,
but their glory fades and fades as
one considers that they constituted
rs per cent Of the Baltimore entry.
Twelve teams and about IS individ-
uals entered from Washington.
These facts bespeak failure of
the Baltimore City Association,
which has striven for three years
to organize the Baltimore bOWIers
with the Washington City Duck
pin Association as its model. At
first the results were encouraging.
Then came the ever troublesome
hand of business. The various
establishments, fighting for trade,
refused to pull together and to
factiOnal strife Is laid the fail

Of the four Western man.
ayers who are likely to help
Washington subdue the Yankees,
Eddie Collins, with but one
really weak position on his
team, may be the savior of an
ignolninious downfall insofar as
this city's entry is concerned.
The Higgins bats are burn
ing up the league with, the
ferocity of a forest fire, and
the onsweep seems to be just
as hard to stop.
Possibly the White sox or
the Indians may be able to
work some sort of back-fire
that will check the Manhattan
CONFEDERATION - something that
no team in the East has yet
been able to accomplish.
Preseason dope declared the
White Hose and Browns would
be the Western teams to be
watched and at least one of
these clubs appears to be
worthy of the warning. Let's
hope nothing untoward over
takes Collins and his crew be-
fore they open May Is in New

stage four games here starting
Friday next. If. on the other

McNeely screamed single down
the third base line, opening the
game, raced to second when Harris
singled to left, reached third on
Rice's ro1Ier to Herrera and scored
while Goslin was dying at first.
Ruffing dug a hole for himself
In the second when he passed Peck
with one out. Ruel poked single
through second the moment Her
rera started to cover second and
Ogden whipped a single TO left,
scoring Peck. McNeely's Texas
Lacquer over Rigney's head brought
Ruel to third, filling the bases, so
a pass to Harris forced Ruel over
the plate. Rice forced Harris, CIV
ing Ogden his chance TO score.
The third brought the end Of
Ruffing. BIuege's single came
with one out and pass to Ruel
came with two out. This time
Ogden wnistled single to center
To McNoeiy filled the bases and
Joe Kiefer relieved the lettering
Ruffing. A foul to CASTOR was
the best Harris could do I'm the
pinch.
Goose Goslin delivered himself Of
a mighty home run with one out
in the fourth and there was no
more scoring for the champions.
Goslin lifted a high fly over Car
lyle's head, falling safely among
the scanty throng in the right field
bIeacher. That drive would easily
have surmounted the right field
wall in Washington about 20 yards
from the foul line.
After the champions had scored
In the first frame the Red Sox
came in and tied it. Flagstead
doubled to center, reached third
when Harris fumbled Carlyle's
hopper and scored on Tojt's clean
single to right.
Then Ogden settled down and
kept the home boys away from
the pan until the fifth when they
checked in with their final run of
the day. With one out Flagstead
singled to center, went UP on
tailed when Carlyle jolted a real
single to right.
FIagstead's fielding was bril-
liant. Twice he raced far across
the grass, ran up the bank that
makes FenWay Park famous
around the league and captured
flies meant for doubles or better.
Judge and BIuege were his VIC
Tins.
Sam Rice showed the real stuff
in the seventh when Roy Carlyle
tried to knock the ball into the
bleachers in right center. Rice
travelled like a deer across the line
of the ball and as it was about
to pass over his head reached with
his gloved hand and caught it
backwards while going at full speed.
The fairIminded Boston fans stood
and cheered him on his way to the
bench. They appreciate great
fielding here, having seen plenty
of it through the years.
Bucky Harris, who has not been
hitting much, enjoyed the Boston
hurlers. He singled sharply to left
in the first, walked in the second,
fouled out in the third, doubled to
left center in the sixth and pounded
a two.bagger off the fence in left
center in the eighth

Keeping Your
Metal Clean

In the kitchen there. are ordi-
narily many types of metals to
clean, especially in connection with
cooking. Aluminium, perhaps, stands
out foremost. On this metal use
first of all hot soapsuds. Then, to
remove stains or food particles
which have cooked on and actually
need an, abrasive, use fine steel
wool and soap.
Enameled Ware
Like aluminium, enameled ware
utensils of all kinds should be given
a soap wash first, and for very
stubborn stains may be treated with
a fine securing powder. Woven
metal securing cloths or mops are
very effective. But particular care
should be taken of them. After
using they should be rinsed thor
oughly and hung up to dry quickly.
II food has actually burned on the
bottom Of enamel-ware it can be re.
moved by soaking in a solution OF
washing soda.
Glassware
Baking-glass ware for oven use
perhaps should not be discussed
under the heading of metals, but
we cannot refrain from mention.
ing the fact that it, too, often re.
duires more than d mere washing
with soap and water.
Iron
The important thing in the care
of iron is to prevent corrosion or
rust. To do this it should be
treated with an oil or unsalted tat.

In Regard to Your
Ironing

The ironing board may be either
Of the folding type, collapsible
enough to occupy small space, or
Of the cabinet type, built into the
wall OF a new home, or mounted
upon the wall of a house already
built. This type Of board has the
advantage OF being out Of the way.
easily accessible, and protected from
dust. To be sure, the old-fashioned
board stretched between chairs is
still in use, but a metal wall
bracket for securing the board at
one end will more than repay you
for your trouble and expense in
installing it. Being open at one
end, it eliminates the Inconvenience
OF lifting the board when ironing
skirts and other garments which
must be placed over 1t. The
height of the board should be ap-
proximately 80 inches from the
floor Fifty-isx inches seems to be
a standard length. A board which
tapers down to at least six inches
at the narrow end is a good
choice.
For the padding Of the board
heavy silence cloth will be found
very durable. A very thin under
cover makes ironing difficult. Old
blankets can be used If they are
heavy enough. Padding can be
held in place with thumb tacks.
We have found the knitted pad.

A Tasty One-Piece
Meal

Tenderloins with sweet potatoes
and apples makes a delicious and
hearty meal. Cut the tenderloins
lengthwise, but do not quite sepa-
rate them. Open and flatten rhem,
and spread with a good poultry
dressing seasoned highly with sage
and containing more than a sus-
picion of onion. Put the tender
loins together sandwich fashion and
fasten them with string or tooth
picks; we like to sew them together
with coarse thread. Rub them
with melted butter and dredge
them lightly with flour. Place in
baking pan and surround with
halved sweet potatoes previously
parboiled and peeled, and bright
red apples quartered, but not
pared. Drop bits OF butter on the
potatoes and apples and sprinkle
them with brown sugar, using one
fourth cupful OF butter and three
tablespoonfuls of sugar. Bake at
400 degrees F. until the tenderloins
are well done and the potatoes a
golden brown. Remove the sitting
and toothpicks and serve on a hot
platter, the meat in the center
with the apples and potatoes placed
about alternately. II gravy is de-
sired, it may be made In the usual
fashion from the liquid in the pan.

ably will be considered and passed
by the Senate tonight.
Supporters of the measure are
easily in a majority Of the Senate,
although there is some difference
OF opinion as to its administrative
features. There has been no COM
promise attempted between the KEEL
Ter and Capper bills, but it is not
expected that the advocates of
either measure will attempt OBJ
structive tactics at the session OF
the Senate tonight, regardless OF
which one commands the strongest

whose wife died in a Baltimore

Washington. and Wadsworth and
Copeland, of New York, will lead
the fight for the passage of moth
ers' aid legislation.

be removed for washing. This is
also true of the heavy duck or
canvas covers which may be pur-
chased for the outside covering Of
the board. II one wishes to make
the covers. heavy unbleached mus.
lin is the best thing to use, be-
cause the width Of the material is
long enough to cover the length
of the board To hold the covers
taut over the board, attach them
with tapes at the four corners and
in the center, or use pins, but 1t Is
not wise to tack them to the board,
since they are difficult to remove
when a celan cover is needed.
Adequate irons rests are a great
saving to the cover Select one
which holds the iron about an inch
from the board and provides for
circulation of air beneath it. A
sheet OF heavy asbestos paper
tackled over the end Of the board
under the iron stand provides adj
ditional protection against scorcn'
ing.
When using an electric iron, q
holder which clamps to the end OF
the ironing board and holds the
iron several inches away from the
board may be obtained. A holder
of this sort is most efficient from
the point of view of both safety
and convenience. Right here. may
we suggest that IL the old-fash-
Toned sad-iron is being used, a
plentiful supply of cloth or ashes
tos iron holders will add greatly to
the comfort Of the hands since a
cool one may be used when needed.
Another useful accessory in con-
nection with the electric iron 10 the
electric iron cord holder which Is
now on the market. It consists Of
q pice OF wire with loop at the
top for holding the cord. This is
attached to the end Of the IRON
ing board, and, since 1t is flexible,
the iron may be used at the ex-
treme end of the board without
having the cord touch the garment
being ironed.
