SERIES
TO START
By George A. Simpson

Next week, the playground de-
partment will start upon pre-
tentious baseball schedule when
more than 20 elementary schools
will be involved in the Junior and
senior series. The tournament will
come under the personal direction
Of Dick Tennyson, director of boys
playground activities.
There will be eight senior leagues
and a like number Of junior leagues.
1t will mark the first time that
Junior baseball championship has
been held, but playground athletics
have advanced to such a stage
that an expansion was necessary.
The winners Of each group will
clash in the finals for the city-wide
Iaurels.
Not only will the Fairgrounds
sponsor these elementary school
leagues, but intra-school games viii
be conducted. This Is another step
in the forward movement under the
leadership of Dick Tennyson. These
games will involve teams formed
within the school. In connection
LHGICWACAb Coh 0O AAACAS%StCNA
that Park View School will have IL
teams, Cooke 10, Mott II, Logan s,
John Burroughs 10, CORDOBA Z, and
E. ". Brown II.
Various playground directors
are now visiting the schools
Iecturing to the students and
forming teams. They also die
cuss the championship leagues
and describe the rules govern
ing the yearly competition.
Tennyson estimates that nearly
$500 boys will take part in the
senior and junior championships
and that approximately 5000 will
participate in the intra-school games
Those who are supporting Tenny-
son in this great missionary work
are the sectional playground direc-
tors for boys activities. These are
John Murphy, Bllomingdale; James
White, Iowa Avenue; Herman Riley,
Garfield; Benjamin Kali Rosedale;
Bruce Kessler, Georgetown; Joe
Mitchell, Plaza; Bernie McCarty,
Virginia Avenue, and Franklin
Carr, Columbia Heights.
Divisions that viii hold senior

1t is possible that Shirley may

He is young enough to develop into

tinues his good work at the bat.
But with him on the team, there
is no need of Judge. Therefore, 1t
is possible, nay, probable, that
Judge will yet be traded for needed
material most likely in the out

and Rube Erhardt at Clearwater

he popped a foul fly to Bissonnette,

getting two singles for an average
of 1913.
Shirley thus far has not been
permitted to leave the bench. He
does all his work in the morning
practice. But he seems much more
likely to remain with the team
than Joe Judge.

The pillow is done in cross stitch,
and it is the artist herself who suggests
the following colors for it: The pot is
described as red, the band upon 1t yell
low, the stem brown, the tree green,
the candles either of varied tones or
else all red, and the flames consistently
yellow It may be embroidered on
black, orange, brown or blue and, of
course the foundation fabric should be
at hand to place beside the colors when
a selection of medium for the stitch
cry is made.
There is something choice about such
a pillow, for thoughtful care and de-
lightful intimate thoughts are wont to
go into its making. Whether the re-
cipient has Strolled those woods where
its contents have been gathered or
knows them only through description,
he or she welcomes it. for it is sug-
gestive of calm and unfrequented ways
where one would like to be and car
ries a delightful message. Possibly the
maker of the pillow is to treasure 1t
for her own. in which case memories
are apt to intertwine with the stitches
taken. AS a token of friendship to
man or woman, 1t has potentialities,
for there is suggestion of ''roughing

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday. September 5.

Astrologers read tomorrow as rather
an unfortunate day in planetary govern
ment, although benefic. aspects are
strong as evening falls.
The stars seem to forecast intrigue
and deception, a disposition In business
as we'll as politics to indulge in false
representations.
Plots and counter plots are supposed
to develop while this confguration
prevails and newspaper sensations are
indicated.
Both men and women are warned
against an inclination to emphasize
their own valuation of themselves
There may be unusual manifestations
of egotism and conceit.
The direction of the stars bodies Ill
for domestic harmony and Is likely to
encourage hasty decisions. Many di-
vorce suits may be filed while this rule
prevails.
Under this sway, the inclination to
paw bills should be strong, but 1t may
lead to differences of opinion In regard
to the family budget.
The seers foretell many crises In the
lives of young married folk who nave
tried to be extremely modern. Domes-
ticity may be revalued as worth while
by even the most progressive women.
Newspapers and magazines should
profit by this position of the stars.
which foreshadows increased demands
for reading matter
Banks and bankers are again subject
to a most promising rule OF the stars,
and it is we'll to heed conservative
financial advice. =.
Astrologers, months ago, predicted
trouble in Mexico and they now declare
that the country Is under a sway max
ing for revolutions. owing to the posi-
tions of Mars and Uranus.
1t will be remembered that the seers
prophesied new inventions that would
completely change the film industry.
They now prognosticate much haro
work for players.
The direction of the stars is more for
tunate for actors of the stage than 1t Is
for actors of the screen.
Persons whose birth date 1t Is may
have numerous unexpected messages In
the coming year, which should be most
prosperous. These subjects Of Virgo are
usually prosperous and they show their
opulence in their dress.
Children born on that day probably
will be quick and energetic. They
should have the power to reach the
heights, for these Virgo people are
usually exceedingly talented and they
rebound quickly from defeat or disap-
pointnent.

cordinp to recent researches made oy
Mapee and Glennie of the Rowett Re
search Institute, Aberdeen. This gives
lis no great concern so far as the loss OF
iodin Is concerned, for milk Is pretty
poor source of iodin anyway. But IL
does raise another question about the
wisdom of pasteurization, for II the
heating of the milk to 140 degrees F. Tor
20 minutes is sufficient to kill any dis
ease germs in the milk (and that's the
only reason why pasteurization is re-
uuired for all milk marketed in the city,
except the purest grade, certified milk J,
and il the heating breaks down the
iodin compounds in the milk to vola-
tilize and drive of the iodin, 1t Is not
unreasonable to assume that IL may
otherwise modify and disorganize the
nutritive elements so that they may not
yield all the nutritive values that we as
sumo we get from pure milk. For that
