Tigers Assert Selves

If there is any surprise in
the American League, such as
the Pittsburgh Pirates are fur
hishing, it is the case of
Bucky Harris Tigers, unmen-
toned as pennant possibilities
back in the winter when the
teams were heading into their
training camps.
Out in California, where
both the Tigers and Pirates
underwent their spring dose
Of caliSthenicS. each was look
ed upon as q very weak entry.
With those teams now making
their respective circuits sit up
and take notice, California is
making a strong bid for recog-
milton as an ideal location for
training bases.
Max of the Pacific Coast
writer's declared last March
that the Tigers couldn't finish
in the first division of their
own league out yonder, and
Detroit seemed y verify the
assertion when en- route home
to open the season, they drop
ped four straight in Kansas
City.
Well, Bucky Harris is having
the laugh now. and when his
Tigers come here July IS to
open a series with the Griff-
men, many a local admirer of
Harris will be out there to see
this marvellous club he has
rounded out of what three
months ago was called by
many the worst team in the
league.

At this writing there is a bit
less difference between the

Of the older circuit as there is
between the fourth-place Griff-
men and the league-leading
Yankees in the junior outfit.

Washington has in the Ameri-

Two Games for Thanksgiving
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

coffee Is served the hostess reads the
proper answers, and the person, or the
partners, whose score of answers is
most nearly correct wins q prize. An
swers to many Of the questions are easy.
All are apt and most are amusing.
Thanksgiving Dishes.-This game also
is a quiz. The answers to questions
give the dishes or edibles found on the
Thanksgiving table. For example, COM
bine the names of foreigner and part
of lock and find a bird. The answer
is easy-Turk-k turkey. This game
can be played in the ways given for the
previous one. It is 10 cents, with self
addressed and stamped envelope.
Those wishing both games can secure
them by sending Is cents and one self
addressed and stamped envelope. Please
remember that requests must be sent
me Immediately for answers to be re-
ceived before Thanksgiving.
Zest is added If a prize is hidden in
the centerpiece of fruit or flowers or a
combination of both fruit and flowers.
Those at the table should be told OF
this. and they will be sure to try to
discover what 1t Is, while many will be
the amusing guesses. The prize may
be basket of fruit or of decorative
vegetables in full view of every one,
although somewhat disguised, as, for
example, by an array of gay Autumn
leaves about the base of the basket,
partly concealing it. Or the prize can
be a pumpkin pie in stout paper box,
neatly wrapped and completely con-
cealed, or candy may be in the box.
Such prizes are suitable for man, won-
an or child.

AUTUMN
BY d. c. PEATTIE.

"HERE are two kinds of cat-tail
around the District of Columbia,
and both are now in their
glory, lifting their sturdy and
vet graceful spears in all the
marshes, or already dispensing the hrst
of their winged seeds.
The common kind is the broad
leayed species; the velvety brown
spindles of the fruiting spikes are heavy
and thick, and crowned when IN hover
by a light tuft of male flowers. :,
The other sort, the narrowed-leaved
kind. is not common around here In
marshes, ponds and by stream banks,
but it affects to grow along the courses
of the lower Potomac, where the In
fluence of the tide is felt and there
is, perhaps, a slight saltiness or at
least alkalinity in the water. lts
spindles are much more slender. ana
the spike of male flowers is not joined
to the female spike in its setting OF
brown velvet. but is separated by a
reach of naked stem and bone aloft
like a banner.
The narrow-leaved kind does not look
so fine, seen across the marshes in the
mild moist, Autumn air that is In
gering over them these days. But as
CuI pldIlI. III ll4t llOlAoS, ~ Az ~ >AS-N>y
superior; its points Of slim elegant
figure and a certain great ar1stocracy
of bearing show up then to advantage,
while the big sort looks clumsy IN the
house.
Few people seem to be aware that
cat-tails are edible Not. to be sure,
in Autumn, but in early Summer, when
the spikes are still finger thin and
tender. They are boiled and eaten
somewhat as we eat artchokeS or corn
on the cob; you scrape the meat OF
with your teeth, withdrawing the axis
or spike.
An attempt was made on its COM
mercial scale to use the fine brown
hairs that crowd the spike for velvet,
but they could not be spun, as was
discovered when practice was applied to
theory. Cat-tail down is only OF
value to birds, many Of which weave
it into their nests for a soft internal
lining. Marsh wrens and red-winged
blackbirds and others are glad to get it
when they can find it, but often the
Winter winds leave none upon the
stalks when the nesting time comes
around again.
1t is small wonder that the cat-tallS
are found all over the earth. The
buoyancy of the downy seeds is in
credible when even slight wind Is
stirring, and immense distances could
undoubtedly be covered by seed In
few days, with a strong wind blowing.

bur-marigold family, and some
i i of them are known over most
of the world. They are known
as stick-tights, beggarS' lice, rayleSs
marigold and pitchforks.
The mother plant has many dull,
orange-colored flower heads without
rays and without any outstanding char
acteristic to call attention to her. OFTEN
she will grow nine feet high, with
smooth, erect, branched stems and
upper leaves which are not divided.
Near the ground there Will be com n
pounded leaves which are In threes or
fives, lance-shaped and sharp-toothed.
AS in all the bur-marigoldS, you Will
find each f1oret's calyx is converted Into
barbed fork for graphing onto the
hair of some passing animal or the
clothes of a pedestrian. 1t Is surely
taking an unfair advantage Of any host,
and sometimes an animal will carry
these devils needles about with them
for weeks.
The beggars' tick is one Of the most
annoying weeds growing In the fields
and moist places. Animals become
thickly covered with these seeds and are
unable to rid themselves Of them. Boys
pick them from their clothing and give
them a toss Just what the plant de-
sires, above all else, is a new place to
establish a residence. Some one will
step on the beggars and press them to
the earth. With the little forks they
cling to the soil and take root.
Now, when you go along a wooded
path or a country road, watch out for
these pests and pull the plant up by the
roots. They do rot go very deep. Hang
them where they will not touch any
thing. If possible, burn the plant.

the hostess read the questions between
courses, each question following the
sequence of the meal, as there are ques-
tons for all courses, from soup to
nuts" If replies are verbal, the person
who gives the right name most quickly
scores one, which the hostess sets down
to his or her credit. Another way to
play the game Is for the hostess to have
the questions or definitions written
