WHAT A METER IS.
The meter having been accept
ed by a majority of the nations
aa a basis of linear measure
ment, it was determined upon
for use in the Olympic games,
and with a few exceptions track
and field distances bare been
marked according to it
The distances on the Stock
holm program, reduced to exact
terms of English measurement,
which are common here, are as
follows:
1 meter 39.37 Inches.

ARGENTINA P0L0ISTS COMING
International Matches to Be Played at
Narragansett Pier.
Promise of real international polo at
Narragansett Pier, It. I., this year is
contained in the invitation extended
by the Point Judith Polo club to the
Argentine team, which has had a vic
torious career in the tournaments in
England. ' It is anticipated that the
South American team will accept and
take part in the tourney, which in
cludes the open championships be
tween July 29 and Aug. 24.
The Argentine team is made up of
two Irishmen and two Englishmen,
who all have business interests in the
Argentine. Their South American
ponies are branded and rough looking,
but rare gallopers and very handy.
Aided by the handicap orders, the Ar
gentine team won the Whitney cup
tournament at nurlingham and creat
ed a sensation by its quickness and
hard hitting.
EXPECT TOO MUCH OF 0'TOOLE
Fans Think $22,500 Pitcher Should Win
Nearly Every Game.
While it is undoubtedly true that
Pitcher Marty O'Toole of Pittsburgh
has proved a disappointment in that it
was naturally expected that a $22,500
pitcher should never lose a game, the
former St. Paul star occasionally shows
marked ability, though he does not ap
pear to be a consistent performer.
So far as the investment in O'Toole
is concerned it proved a good one. The
Pittsburgh club more than got back
what it paid foe the pitcher last fall,
and he is still au attraction these days.
When Pittsburgh bought O'Toole it
was for the purpose of making one
final effort to win the pennant. Had
O'Toole come through as was expected
last fall the Tirates might have beaten
the Giants to the wire. It was a' gam
bling chance, and while no pennant
was won it was not a losing game at
that
0'DAY LETS UMPIRES ALONE.
Cincinnati Manager Sticks to Promise
Made When He Quit Indicating.
It must be said of Hank O'Day,
manager of the Cincinnati Keds, that
he has not yet broken his vow, made
early In the spring, that he would not
bait umpires. Hank still shows that
spirit of brotherly love. But his argu
ment is a good one. 41 e says arguing
with umpires gets a manager nothing.
He prefers to remain back in the shad
ows of the bench and depend on a
square deal from the umpires.
So far he has had no reason to com
plain, and it is certain that few of his
players have been under suspension
this season.
Umpire Has New Footgear.
Umpire Johnstone of the National
league has something new in the way
of footgear that is apt to attract a
lot of attention and be copied by all
the baseball umpires. He has a metal
covering that fits over his shoes, so
that foul tips that fly down at his
feet do not break his toes. All um
pires are protected well by the mask
and the chest pad, and the greater
majority wear shin guards beneath
their trousers.
San Francisco Wants Horse Racing.
Nearly 35,000 residents of San Fran
cisco have signed a petition to have
horse racing resumed In California.
A united effort is being made by horse
owners, breeders, farmers and others
to knock out the present anti-betting
law and have as a substitute the pari
mutuel form of betting which has
proved so popular in Kentucky and
also in the larger cities of Europe,
where horse racing thrives.
Australian Rugby Players Coming.
Australia will send a strong team of
Rugby football players to the Pacific
coast the coming fall. They are due
to arrive in October and will play a
series of games against the University
of California, Leland Stanford and sev
eral of the club teams.
Evers Holds a Record.
Twenty-five games in succession

fect fielding continuity or continuous
perfection credited to Johnny Evers of
the Chicago Cubs this season.

THE SLIP ON FROCK.
Nothing More Sensible
Ever Devised In Clothes.
'Ct'ii--.:

OF CREAM CANVAS AND CLCNT LACK.
The "slip on" frock has been the
sartorial winner of the season, and
nothing in the way of clothes has been
devised that has added so much com
fort to the feminine wardrobe.
The charming dress pictured is a
"slip on" of cream canvas, trimmed
with cluny lace mounted over rose
satin. Velvet buttons give the Frenchy
touch of black.
The Only One.
Mrs. Ellen Spencer Musey, dean of
the Washington College of Law. has
the distinction of being the only wo
man law school dean in the world.

edge of law and for her work for the

It is now quite smart to give a pair
of gold or enameled hatpins with Inter
twined initials of bride and groom and
the date of the wedding. Equally ap
propriate are those set with birthstoue
of the bride or the different brides
maids. Small charms for watch tjr chatelaine

in" bridal" emblems are pretty? These
might be a tiny- garter in deep yellow
gold, a wedding bell with initials of
bride and bridegroom and date en
graved ou It or an oval locket, plain or
jeweled, containing pictures of the
bride and bridegroom. On the right side
should be a large monogram of the
bridesmaid and on the opposite side
the intwined initials of the bride and
bridegroom, with the wedding date be
neath. Shoe buckles are attractive gifts and
particularly acceptable just now. Re
cently a bride delighted ber wedding
party by presents of oblong shoe buck
les studded with rliinestones'.
Gold or silver eardcases are popular
gifts at present. The ideal gift is one
that can be worn for the wedding cere
mony itself.
Reforming the Goat.
Day by day evidence is piling- up to
prove to him who will but see that iu
order to reform everything under the
sun it Is only 'necessary to give more
power to women. Quite the latest
thing to be threatened by their elevat
ing influence is the despised goat An
"Irish goat society" has been estab
lished by the Countess of Aberdeen,
according to a recent English exchange,
with the object of improving the phys
ical condition, manners and morals of
the 250,000 goats now existing in the
Emerald Isle. These animals, her ex
cellency stated at the opening meeting
of the society, are for the most part
uncared for animals, wandering about
roadways and frequently damaging
property.
The Fireplace In Summer.
The fireplace in summer is always
somewhat of a worry to the housewife
This, however, by a little trouble can
be converted into a really artistic spot.
A Japanese pot of quaint design filled
with branches of copper beech is very
beautiful, or the fireplace can be made
into a miniature rockery. Fresh green
ferns arranged in tiers, with shells -or
pebbles to hide the pots, is ail that is
needed, and it Is surprising the cool, re
freshing look these give to a room in
summer if kept free from dust and in a
healthy condition
For the Table.
An asbestos pad for the table may be
made in Ihis nay: Get enough asbestos
paper to cover the table with double
thickness. From a couple of old sheets
cut two pieces the size of the table.
Baste "the asbestos paper between
them and quilt it on the sewing ma
chine, using a long stitch. This is
necessary, as the paper tears and pulls
upart easily. Put this pad on the
table, under your silence cloth, and
there will be no marks made on the
polished surface by hot dishes.
Kitchenettes.
Pewter is, best cleaned by washing
it with hot water, rubbing it with
fine sand and when dry polishing it
witn learner.
Matting splinters easily when swept
with a bare broom. To preserve it
either clean it with a soft brush or
cover the broom with a gray canton
fiannel bag.
A Domestic Tragedy.
"Your wife isn't entertaining as
much as she was?"
"No. She hasn't any social secre
tary now."
"How Is that?"
"Why, she had a secretary, you
know, and I didn't like her. I smiled
at her sweetly. My wife saw me.
One of us had to go." Cleveland Plain
