Washing Woolens

Squeeze woolens through a
warm suds Of soft water. Hot
water makes them shrink. If the
garments are badly soiled, it may
be necessary to put them through
two or three sudsy waters. The
rinse water should be the same
temperature as the wash water.
Rinse until the water looks clear.
Squeeze the water out gently. If
you use a wringer, set it loosely.
Dry the articles in moderately
warm place, in the breezy out
doors if possible, but not in the di-
rect sunlight, as that tends to
make them yellow.

Christmas Decorations

+
The very incest decorations you
can use in the house for the holt
day season are live things-holly,
mistletoe, plants, flowers, the fra
grant fir, balsam and pine, ground
pine, smilax, ivy and pachysandra
cuttings kept fresh in wet moss.
These give fragrance, color and a
mysterious charm to the glad sea-
son.
A feature in the artistry of dec
Grafton is to choose one point of
interest," corner, a nook, the
fireplace as a center to decorate
and not try to decorate the whole
house, though festoons may trail
out from this, and wreaths may
be hung in several windows.

Tilted

Hats are rarely worn straight
today, but are tipped up at a
fetching angle. They are worn on
the back of the head and expose
a wide expanse of bald forehead,
or perhaps ringlets may show
from the forehead all the way
around the circumference of the
hat. A flower or bow or feather
may peep out from underneath the
brim of the seasons hat. Brims, if
any, are often double and triple
AND draped attractively. Crowns
are becoming SO shallow that they
have been called "half-croYns.'

READY or HOME MADE

When trying to decide whether
it is better to buy clothing which
is ready-made or to make it at
home, consider the time you have
at your disposal and the value of
that time; your ability to sew and
to design and to know what is
good in dress; and the quality and
price of the ready-made article.

She Lost 10 Pounds
of Fat in 27 Days

During October a woman in Mon
tana wrote-"My first bottle of
Kruschen Salts lasted almost 4
weeks and during that time 1 lost 10
pounds of fat-Kruschen is all you
claim for it feel better than 1
have for years."
Here's the recipe that banishes fat
and brings into blossom all the nat
ural attractiveness that every woman
possesses.
Every morning take one half tea
spoonful of Kruschen Salts in glass
of hot water before breakfast.
Be sure and do this every morning
for "It's the little daily dose that
takes off the fat."-Don't miss a
morning. The Kruschen habit means
that every particle of poisonous waste
matter and harmful acids and gases
are expelled from the system.
At the same time the stomach. liver,
kidneys and bowels are toned up and
the pure, fresh blood containing Ma

to every organ, gland, nerve and fibre
of the body and this is followed by
that Kruschen feeling" of energetic
health and activity that is reflected
in bright eyes, clear skin, cheerful
vivacity and charming figure.
If you want to lose fat with speed

standing that you must be satisfied
with results or money back.

Seeing Big League
BASEBALL
By BILLY EVANS
Sportswriter, Big League Umpire
and General Manager of the
Cleveland Indians

Umpires are human and make mis-
takes. In my long career I know of
only one umpire who always insisted
that he never made mistake in his
life. He was the late Silk OLoughlin,
one of the most colorful arbitrator
that ever graced the game. O'Loughlin
was one of the few umpires who had
drawing powers at the gate. The
fans liked to see him in action. His
famous Strike Tuh," will live for
ever "Tuh" has become an accepted
substitute for two In everyday life
aside from baseball. O'Loughlin had
remarkable voice and he was proud
OF it. All umpires have their sensi-
tive points; Silk was mighty fussy
about his vocal chords. Well l do
recall the remark made by a certain
star to Silk one afternoon when he
was suffering a trifie from hoarse-
ness. The star. who was a pitcher,
was disagreeing with O'Loughlin most
of the afternoon on his judgment Of
balls and strikes. Silk was peeved.
After he called one that particularly
displeased the pitcher, that worthy
person said to OLoughlin:
IF was you, Silk, l would see
one of the best throat specialists in
the city just as soon as the game is
over"
"Why are you so interested in my
throat trouble"
'Simply, because, If you ever lose
your voice you are through as an
umpire. it's your only asset" Silk
was furious and in the next inning,
anxious to chase the fresh person, he
seized an incident that really didn't
merit election from the game but
nevertheless sent the player to the
showers. Anyway. like all stories, it
went the rounds of the league. Any
time a player for any reason wanted
to depart from the game, he made un-
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1930-05-02

kind remarks about Silks voice being
his only asset as an umpire.
With OLoughlin there never was
a close decision, the player was SIM
ply out or safe. l often wondered
whether Silk really believed he never
missed one in his life.
Sometimes l doubted it but never
was l able to get Silk to admit that
he might have been wrong. Often
would try to josh him along by tell
ing him l thought he missed a GER
tain play, that | would never men,
ton it to anyone if he admitted it,
but I always failed in my efforts to
pin O'Loughlin down to the fact that
possibly he might have been wrong.
O'Loughlin was Irish. 1t is hardly
necessary to state that fact; his
name is sufficient. Never will l for
get the delight Silk took in one of his
favorite CALCULATIONS to protesting
players. AS the Clancys, McCarthys,
O'Neills and Burkes would cluster
around Silk and tell him how blind
he was, he would listen for a time
and then with a wave of his arm
that meant trouble would shout:
"Get out of here. Never missed
one in my life. Too late to start
now. The pope for religion. OLough-
lin for baseball, both infallible."
That remark always drew the ire
of the players, but they went on their
way because they knew that was the
final uitimatum before chasing them
to the showers. That was his favorite
line for handling ball players of Irish
extraction.
If after some decision Silk per-
ceived that among the players protest
ing his ruling were men bearing the
name of Schmidt, Mueller, Schneider
and others of German extraction, he
would listen for time in evident
disgust and then, having heard
enough, he would invariably say:
'If you fellows are not back in
your position when l reach the plate,
all of you are through for the day.
There isn't any use of being Dutch
If you're not dumb
In handling out his line of repartee,
Silk didn't overlook a thing. If
fault, he never failed to remind him
of 1t. When some athlete with a
poor batting average would strenu-
ously protest to a strike, he would
usually squelch the young man thus
ly:
$50 I kicked the one, Ell? Well you
sure have your nerve kicking on any
thing l do. l happened to be look
ing at the batting averages this morn
ing and you amt hitting your weight.
Get in there and hit: the pitcher is
supposed to be fooling you, not me-"
Baseball suffered a severe loss in
the death of O'Loughlin. When this
country got into the World war and
baseball was temporarily suspended,
O'Loughlin, close to fifty years of age,
felt that he wanted to be of some
service to this country. He obtained
a berth in the intelligence depart
ment and was assigned to Boston.
When the "fiu" hit that section of
the country he was one Of its first
victims. dying within few days.
usually was paired up with O'Lough-
lin. He and I umpired the final
game Of the year in Washington when
the two big leagues decided to curtail
their schedule.
