BASE BALL SECRETS
When Stealing Second.
BY Sol Metzger --....-

Use the hook slide when stealing
second. Don't slide straight into
the base. The reason Is that the
hook slide exposes less OF your body
to the infielder trying to make the
putout. To make the hook slide go
feet first we'll back Of the base and
then hook the base with your foot,
just as you go by, as the player on
the left in the illustration is doing.
That gives the inflelder merely
your one foot and leg to touch in

Clues to Character
BY J. O. ABERNETHY.
Drifts With the Tide.

There are many varieties of eye
brows. The brows of one person
would not harmonic with the fea-
lures of another, for observation will
show that the brow is quite as indi-
vidual as any other facial feature.
When you see man or woman
with eyebrows set high upon the head
and also well arched, do not expect
that person to make a success as an
investigator or as a critic. This type
drifts along with the tide of life. and
rarely, If ever, takes the time to look
up things. He accepts statements as
they are made to him.
AS high, arched brows are not in
dicative Of great concentration. it is a
safe prediction that the subject will
not be noted for originality, reasoning
power or a critical mind.
Although high eyebrows are found
on persons who have excellent mem
orizing power there is a lack of con-
centrative effort. They learn by note,
hopelessly lost. They manifest little
initiative and are not good planners.
Carrying out schemes laid by others
is the method they like best.
Those who think and act outside of
the conventional groove, those who
are given to discovery, creation of
original theories and methods In art,
science and philosophy. have brows
which seem close to the eye and the
hairs are disorderly, particularly at
the ends.

No Use Having Bad Tonsils.

A woman aged 81 has suffered with
attacks of quinsy since she was 16,
at least one attack each year. some
times two. At the age OF 80 she had
her tonsils removed. Still she has
Quinsy She says she has conulted
many doctors in the attempt TO pre-
vent attacks: her throat has been
lanced repeatedly, but with relief only
Il few times. The attacks are not so
severe since the tonsls were removed,
but they still last few days.
Quinsy is abscesS, q gathering" In

he waits for the abscess to break. :"
LAncing is no fun-that is. for the
subject; for that matter, 1t isn't a
task the doctor revels in, either. Yet
can think Of no other medical or
surgical service a doctor can render
which gives 50 much relief as this
as rule.
In many instances the removal of
the tonsils does put an end to the
annual bout with quinsy. The nest
or depot of the infection, the flaring
up of which brings on the attack of
quinsy, is probably within the tonsil
in most cases. Complete removal of
the infected tonsil, therefore, ends the
trouble.
A man aged 81 says his tonsils have
been infected for over five months
and asks whether operation is the
only cure. He has been told" by
several friends that it is dangerous
to have tonsils removed. because the
tonsils absorb poisons in certain dis
eases, such as diphtheria.
Normal tonsils probably serve
some such function in childhood. at
any rate. The lymphoid cells they
give off have some phagocytic ac-
tion-they tend to destroy disease
germs in the throat and mouth. Per.
haps the crypts or openings in the
tonsils receive disease germs and the
tonsil cells destroy the germs there,
the detritus being extruded from the
crypts into the throat and mouth.
But all this is conditional upon
normal state. When the tonsils are
infected or diseased they are dan
gerous to keep in the throat. and the
sooner they are removed the better
for the individuals health.
A correspondent of indeterminate
gender says the nose and throat spe-
cialists in a capital city have

bones, growths, etc, and does this

SUMMERTIME

Cannas.

Hot days, clear shafts of relentless
Summer sunlight and cannas blazing
in a formal bed in the middle of a
lawn-such was a Victorian idea of
beautiful piece of landscape gar
dening for the suburbs. Taste has
drifted away from that style now,
but the Gamma still finds a very legiti.
mate use in public parks where a
brilliant spot of color that can be
seen in a long vista is needed.
After overcoming an original dis
taste for cannas, have veered
around to enjoying their tropic
splendor very much. Once. as a kind
friend motored me at high speed
through a ravishing bit of tropical
jungle, I got a glimpse Of a Gamma in
its wild state-a garden OF great
gold petals In the lush green of a
forest at the tip Of Florida. l had
no opportunity to get out and take
a. closer look. But 1 could see that
in the place where God intended
cannas to grow they are lovely
things.
Since then 1 have felt more toll.
Grant toward northern Gamma beds.
And because cslnnas are the only rep
resentatives of tropical family
which we ordinarily see in our cline
/ have made the most of the oppor-
tunity to examine Gamma flowers.
Evolution has played strange tunes
on the floral structure of the Gamma,
for its stamens have become precise
ly like petals, and these, added to the
three true petals and the three sepals
that horticulture has bred to look
like petals, give the flowers their
strangely elaborate form, like the
many layers of fr1lled petticoats that
women used to wear
