n IEW YORK, March s.-Kit
nj Klein, the worlds fastest

a reached the end of her COM
petitive road and that there positively
will be no "comebacks.'
The vivacious, ck-haired Buffalo,

restaurant last night and explained
that, having conquered everything in
sight, she was content to leave the
field to others who might like a taste
of glory.
Il am tired of the training grind"
she said. Il used to have to set Labor
day as the deadline for getting into

and cut loose with whistling fast
ball. Cambria was so impressed that
he rendered him a contract, but Joe
lacked experience and was used only
once in International League play and
then for only three innings. Never
theless, he famed three batters.
Clark Griffith received Krakauskas
by way of Cambria. The youngster
was too green for use last season, but
Griff became so interested in him that
he kept Krakauskas, along with Esta-
leila. and personally tutored the pair
during last September and October.
AS a result, Krakauskas is 100 per
cent better pitcher now than he was
only few months ago.
Friends From the Start.
K RAKAUSkAS' relationship with
Estalella truly is of the Damon
and PythiaS type. The young Lithu-
anian met the stocky Cuban when he
first reported to Albany in Baltimore
and an undying friendship was the
immediate outgrowth. They are in
seperable, and Krakauskas is the only
player on the Washington club who
really understands Senor Roberto.
In time this friendship may present
problem. Estalella is sure to stick
with the Nationals and Krakauskas
is almost certain to be "farmed out" +"
But Esty hasn't been in base ball long
enough to realize that Krakauskas
needs polishing. and it will be a sad
little Cuban when, and if, Joe is sent
away. One of the few words of Eng
llsh that is understood by Esty is
"room." and when he puts together
room and Krakauskas he means that
nobody can fill Joe's place as a room
mate and friend. F.E.S.

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE ". sPROWLS.
Temperature Spots.

OUR bodies are equipped with tenn
perature organs. Some record only
cold temperatures. others only warm
temperatures. The so-called cold spots
are more numerous than the warm
spots. And these two sorts of organs
are as different as your eyes are from
your ears in the matter of recording
and interpreting experiences.
That cooling substance called men,
thol will excite the cold spots and pro-
duce no effect upon the warm spots.
So when you have headache, with its
accompanying fever you put some
menthol on your forehead. The cold
spots go into action and you feel bet
ter because you imagine that you are
getting rid of your fever. Even if you
are deceived about the actual state Of
affairs, the menthol has its virtue.
The general condition of feeling bet
ter" does react favorably upon your
nervous system and thus promotes re-
covery.
The old-fashioned mustard plaster
is another illusion. Mustard excites
only the warm spots, and so you
imagine that you are driving the cold
from your lungs by the application of
heat.
A temperature of 113 degrees Fab
renheit will stimulate both the warm
and cold spots. That's why you shiver
and get goose flesh in hot bath.

What were you doing?"
I'VE were playing I like school. I
hope can ride on his back tomorrow,
too"
LIother looked at the innocent lit
tie face. all aglow with delight, and,
though very troubled, forebore to say
more. When she saw the head of the
school she asked him what the kinder
garten class had been doing that
morning. THE usual things. be-
lieve. I saw them only few min
utes this morning on their way to the
playground. Why?"
Did you speak to Charlie? Did
you see him them"
"Oh, yes, the class was running to
the yard and he was being left behind,
and noticed his face beginning to
pucker, so I hoisted him to my
shoulder and ran ahead of the others
with him. He thought it great fun.
Did he tell you?
Yes, but I wondered about it. 1t
was very kind of you to give him such
treat, Mr.. Grant. I appreciate it,
assure you"
Charlie stuck to his story. "He
carried me all morning, he did. 1t
was great fun. Maybe he will do it
again" In vain mother tried to get
him to remember anything else that
happened that morning. The one big
moment had wiped all the rest from
his mind. 1t was "all morning."
Sometimes. the stories are not as

noontime. painting, rumpled and ex-

Miss Lulu was bad to me. Her
smacked me and shook me and
knocked me down, and hit my head
on the table and almost died. Her
was very bad to me, her was"
"Why, Jimmie, Miss Lulu wouldn't
do things like that to little boy"
Eyes her would. Her did. Ask
Coonie."
Coonie was playmate, emotional,
imaginative and dramatic. "Oh," said
mother, "Coonie. Did he tell you this
story?"
Eyes, but her did it. Her shook me
and smacked me, and I fell down and
hit my head on the table. Her was
very bad to me. I guess I won't go
back to kindergarten any more"
Mother went to see Miss Lulu to
discover If she could shed any light
on the amazing story. After much
effort the story was unraveled. Charlie
and Coonie had gone together to get
their overcoats. Charles coat was
hanging too high, so he jumped for
it and, coming down, bumped his head
slightly against the wall. Coonie
jumped for it and fell, knocking Jim
mie down and the two rolled over,
having a great time in the wardrobe.
Miss Lulu went to see what was up,
picked Jimmie up, took down his coat,
shook him into 1t and, with parting
spank that barely busted his coat,
said, BE of with you." The en-
broideries had been wrought by
Coonie. Charlie liked them very
much.
Little children often miss actuality
when imagination, so much more de-
lightful, takes the center of the stage.
Discount all wild tales until the truth
is found. The stage soon passes,
leaving no harmful trace. Just take

NEAR MRS. POSTS white linen
~ or silk suitable in place Of black
crepe to wear to near relatlves s
funeral? The weather is very hot
here. Also, must I wear white, silk
stockings with white mourning clothes
Answer-White is supposed to be as
deep mourning as black. but I have
never seen it at funeral. This, how
ever. might be quite proper if, as you
say, the day is very hot. If you wear
white, you must be entirely in white:
white shoes, stockings. gloves. hat, in
fact no touch of black or color any
where.
Dear Mrs. Post-Which is correct on
ones personal belongings, the initial
of the first name or the initial of the
last name?
Answer-Properly all possessions
are marked with the initials Of your
full name. But when you are buy
ing ready-made handkerchiefs, for ex-
ample, that have only one initial,
usually you choose your surname. Or
perhaps If you are living at home with
many other members of your family,
your first name would better distin-
guish your belongings.
Dear Mrs. Post-Please give your
opinion of a girl just 20 years old,
who gives presents Of neckties, scarfs,
handkerchiefs, gloves and other SINH
Jar wearing apparel to young man
she has known for many years. There
is nothing serious between these two,
only a fondness that is akin to the
feeling between brothers and sisters.
And yet some one says that because
they are not engaged or not even
thinking about any such thing, she
must not give such presents to him.
If etiquette reasons so rigidly to rule,
then I shall be disappointed in eti-
qeutte
Answer-Nonsense. Etiquette does
not try to restrain an impulse of kind
ness that wants to give old friends
such presents as those you have de-
scribed.
Dear Mrs. Post-The weather will
be hot-more than likely sizzling-the
scene will be laid in the garden at the
time of day when it has shade, the
bride will wear stiff cotton organdy
and a net veil, her two bridesmaids
will be in dotted swiss and wear big
garden hats. With the picture one Of
utter simplicity. are you willing to say
that white linen suits on the groom
and best man and two ushers will not
look amiss?
Answer-Under the circumstances,
at the type of Wedding you describe,
there is no reason why they shouldn't
wear white suits if you like them.
