Later on, batter made a corking

and slid under the ball as the third
baseman caught the throw. 1t wasn't
long afterward, that somebody lifted
the ball over the fence for a homer.
AS usual the batter took his time lop-

noticed this and inquired:
"Why doesn't he run like that other
boy. Oh! dear, they'll catch him if
he trots around like that"

home run.
"Is he going to run home now?"
I felt like saying, "No, but we are;

STYLE CHATS

Paris (UP)-Having gate-crashed the country farms for inspiration, Catherine Parel, star model of her own collection, introduces Sheaves of straw, wild flowers, poultry feath- CTS and coiled snakes on her spring garments.
 Natural Sheaves of straw trim a wheat-colored evening gown, the open work in the back of which IS edged with inch-wide straw braid A coil of straw fashions the neck line of the striking purple ankle length chiffon cape worn with it.. This cape is slit to the collar in the back.
 White feathers go around and around the full skirt and balloon sleeved jacket of white satin gown, while another frock is trimmed with a halter of multi-colored feathers as it's sole fastening on top.
 Purple, gold and green flowers with petals and leaves made of silk stud the skirt of a white organiza frock. Evening skirts are all very full and longer in back than in front. Parel has started something new - large earrings of of the same design as the trimming on the dress.
 Very distinctive is the blue net umbrella with half-opened square design matching the trim on the garden party dress, also of blue net and cut very long and full at the skirt.
 Most of Parels daytime ensembles are redingotes with the coats square shouldered, fitted at the waist, slightly fared at the full-lengths skirts and worn over dresses full of novel details. Two silver fox tails surprisingly end the scarf of a coarse white linen coat witch goes with black silk jersey dress. White lact buttons of all sizes and shapes cover the very wide belt, which ap- pears only in the back. The cowled neckline is chin-high.

 Carnival breaks loose Monday, the first of March. That's Mardi Gras the last Tuesday before Ash WedneS- day, the first day of Lent. Duck with olives is Nino Martini'S suggestion for a truly Riviera Mardi Gras fe .st Nino is quite the boy with his voice and his screen hero job. The girls adore him. Let's see what he can dc with a duck.
 Duck With Olives Riviera
 A generous servings)
 One young duck, strong beef stock the liver, gizzard and heart of duck 2 onions, 3 dozen olives, salt and pepper.
 Have duck jointed. Chop ou- ions, liver, gizzard and heart ana 12 stoned olives. Mix with sutfi- cient hot stock to cover duck. Stir well, season with salt and pepper When sauce has cooked down 6 little, add the pieces of duck. Sim mer very gently for 1 1-2 hours When ready to serve, place duck on hot platter and pour hot sauce over it. Garnishs with olives. This carnival duck can also be cooked in a caSSsr- ole and served right from it.
 There should be lots of confetti at Mardi Gras, lots of lovely gi;.s, music in the air and desserts aplenty. Again, Nino Martini sings out a sweet suggestion.
 Oeufs 8 la Neige (SnOw Eggs)
 (ServeS 6)
 Six eggs, 1-2 cups milk, 3 Jumps sugar, or 3-4 cup of sugar crystals, and 3-4 cup powdered sugar, vanilla extract to taste demon juice if you prefer.)
 Put milk, sugar and vanilla or le- mon juice in shallow saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Beat egg whNe until very stiff. Then add powdered su gar, beating steadily. When pow dered sugar and egg whites are a stiff, light mass, take a little out of the mixture on a spoon. SmoYta it into the shape of an egg. Repeat making eggs this way until al. egg and sugar mixture has been used. Drop these eggs, one at a time, into the boiling milk mixture. After 1-2 minutes, turn each egg carefully with a fork, so that the upper side gets cooked. Leave them in the milk bath for exactly 2 minutes, not one second longer or else they will col lapse. Removeseggs from milk with perforated spoon and drain in a large sieve or on clean cloth. Then strain the milk through a sieve. Beat the egg yolks and add tho warm milk to them gradually. Reduce heat, and cook until the mixture be- gins to thicken, stirring constantly. Chill the egg yolk mixture. Serve in glasses and place the little snow eggs on top, to float about 1a Mar di GraS gaiety.

IF MAY SAY so THE NAME

ID ShA
 Editorial in a down state news paper says:
 "If the state board of health doesn't know any more about colds than it does about grammar, its advice isn't worth much. In it's latest bulletin it says All colds are not contagious If ALL colds are NOT contagious then of course NO colds ARE contiguous. But the state board adds, Many colds are of the communicable type, which means they may be spread from person to person .' Now, isn't that something. The thing to know then is what colds are communicable and what are not ."
 Forgive me if I point out that everybody who is anybody knows that indeed it is the principle on which practically all present public health bulletins or official utter anceS on the subject are based. It is quite simple: If you have it, it is not communicable; if your neigh bor has it, of course the scoundrel ought to be qparantined.
 In the Oregon State Board of Health bulletin (Nov. g, 193D note with approval the good teach ing that proper hand washing should be practiced by way of preventing colds" Fine, if there is a proper provision for hand washing. l don't know what the conditions may be in Oregon schools. From an article on Neglected Health Factors in Public Schools" in the N. Y. State Jour. of Medicine, Jan. l, 1888, Dr. Wm. Rosenson, formerly of the com mittee on health of school children of N. Y. City schools: Sanitary conditions in many of the schools are distinct menace to the child's health. There is no adequate equipment for washing the hands. No soap or towels are provided Some schools have no wash basins. It seems incredible that such an elementary principle of health and decency as washing the hands should be entirely neglected in the largest educational system in the country. While children are taught the im- portance of cleanliness and personal hygiene in the classroom, no efforts have been made to provide them with the first essentials to carry out these teachings"
