Forbid All Playing

OAoAu All IldyLHS
In the Street.
The last of the "big three" re-
quires some further study, and
plenty of action on the part Of
Washington citizens. Children must,
for their own safety, be forbidden
to play in the streets. They can
not be expected to spend summer
days cooped up in hot. tiny apart
ments. or houses overfowing with
families. Busy mothers cannot drop
everything and take them to the
park-although I seriously suspect
that far more of them could man.
age 1t If they only made the ef-
fort. The crying need is for more
and better playgrounds-in a wide
variety of sections Of the city and
its environs.
Many individuals and organiza-
tions have been working like beavers
to achieve this development, but
matters are still only in the grow
ing stage. When there are plenty
OF Fairgrounds, one may look for
real lessening in the juvenile traf-
flee toll; until then it is squarely
up to the parents. With their CO.
operation and active interest, the
Fairgrounds project would forge
ahead, the children would be pro-
tected by parental care, meantime,
and there would be fewer homes
with an empty crib, idle baseball
bat or motherless doll.
Incidence and a "let George do
it" attitude never won war-never
won anything. If our children are
to be saved from the rushing wheels,
we've got to swing into action. Teach
them fear, if need be-and with it
the true bravery that comes through
avoiding unnecessary danger by the
use Of caution and innate intelh-
gence-and obedience Explain that
it is just as important for children
to obey their parents as 1t is for
soldiers to obey their commanding
offlcers-for their own safety and

stocking, all or any of which are
danger points that should not be
overlooked in your selection.
Two Types of
Hosiery.
There are two distinct types Of
hosiery, full fashioned and circular
knit. The former is usually knit to
fit, shaped at knee, calf, ankle and
heel by dropped stitches, and has
a genuine seam at the back. The
latter, circular knit hose, are knit
in tubular piece with tuck stitches
sometimes added to represent fash
ion marks. They have either a
mock seam or no seam at all, and
many are boarded into a shape
which is lost in washing.
In selecting hose, number of
things should be taken into con-
sideration. First, the size and At.
AS a rule, stockings should be about
y inch longer than the foot, but
if the foot is very thin, shorter
stocking may be better. Buying
hose too long will cause them to
wrinkle at toe and heel; too short
types will cramp the toes and slip
down under the heel. Leg length
is short, medium and long, with the
medium length about 81 inches. Do
not select hose too long in the leg,
for this will cause the garter to
come below the welt. On the other
hand, if you buy them too short
the stretch will be severe over the
knee. Look for reinforcement at
the heel. high splice, toe, sole and
top, and don't expect good wear
from hose that sacrifice this quality
for appearance.
Cotton or Silk
FavOrites.
Cotton hose, long noted for their
durability and snag-resistant quail
ties, now come in interesting mesh
and novelty weaves as well as plain
knits in heavy, medium or light
weights. The weight of silk hose
depends upon the thread, gauge and
courses. The thread, or size of yarn.
signifies the number of fiber strands
twisted together to make one yarn.
Gauge refers to the fineness of the
knitting, and courses are the cross
wise loops to be seen on the wrong
side of the hose. If the courses
are close together, the hose will be
fine and strong, with sufficient up
and down stretch.
There are many more interesting
bits of information in this new book
let which will tell you everything
you need to know about hosiery
buying. 1t includes specific items
on the weights of hose, color fast
ness and the reasons why hose wear
out quickly, to mention but few.
This is all something that every
woman should take into considera-
ton. and we'd like to wager that
a bit more careful buying would re-
suit in bit less confused budgeting.

Ceylon is not the only part of the
world where there are flying

is the home of some of the largest
animals of the kind.
They are not really foxes, or near
relatives of foxes. Instead, they
are bats of large size. The head,
nose and ears are shaped some
thing like those of fox, which ex-
plains the name.
The body of a flying fox is about
q foot long and alongside the body
are large wings. When the wings
are outspread they often measure
four or five feet from tip to tip!
Thousands of flying foxes are to
be seen in some parts of Ceylon.
They do most of their flying at
night and rest in. the daytime
Late each morning, however, it is
a common thing for them to take

flying about. Perhaps they make
the morning flight to dry their
wings and fur.

National League all-stars July II at
New York
Joe Mccarthy, manager of the
New York Yankees, will take over in
place of the 76-year-old pilot of the
Philadelphia Athletics. Mack. a
member of baseball's hall of fame,
was honored this year-the sports
centennial-by being named pilot
of the all-league team even though
the post usually has gone to the pilot
of the circuit champion.
Mack asked President William
Harridge today that he be relieved
of the job because of the strain it
might entail. He has been confined
to his Boston hotel since Thursday.
Mccarthy filled in for Mickey Coch-
rane in 1886 and also managed the
American Leaguers in 1887 and 1898.
Harridge also announced that Lou
Gehrig. former Yank star now out of
active competition because of illness,
will be on the squad-as captain.
Gehrig played and starred in all
six previous inter-league games. as
did Detroit's Charley Gehringer, who
will not play because of a leg injury.
In addition, Jimmy Foxx, the
leagues leading hitter, is ill and
may not be in top shape for the con-
test and George Case, Washington
outf1elder, is nursing an injured
