SWITCH TO REGULATE HEAT
Recent Invention Makes It Possible to

Experience has shown that such de
Vices as electric water heaters, heat

more economically when it is possi

peratures. Therefore, a manufactur
er has placed on the market a three
circuit switch, which may. bo attached
to the flexible cord supplying current
to any devico at any point desired.
It consists of a small cylindrical brass
shell from which project two puBh
buttons. The light colored button,
when pushed, gives the low tempera

TRAINING TRIP STAR
"Texas" Russell Quickly Picks
Up Difficult Curve.
Pitcher Has Nothing but Faat Ball
When He Joined White 8ox Hit
Showing Against Frisco 8ealt
Lands Him With Comlake.
Oftlmes the career of a budding
baseball player hangs by a thread.
One little turn of the wheel may
send him back to oblivion or into
tho calcium of fame. Albert (Lefty)
Russell, of tho White Box, is a caso
in point Today he looks like one of
tho real finds among Bouthpaws in re
cent years. Yet ho camo mighty near
being shipped back to tho busheB,
Russell, who is called Tex. or Rob.,
because ho came from Donham In tho
Lone Star state, has had exactly one
yenr of professional baseball experi
ence. Ho wound up the season at Port
Worth In 1912, but was only there ono
month. Tho reBt of thoyear he play
ed on the Itonham Bquad of the Texas-Oklahoma
league. Prior to that ho
was a semi-pro, content to make his
?10 or $15 per week.
Whllo In Texas several scouts
heard of this big fellow who seemed
to havo lots of control but little be
sidee that and a fast ball. Cpmiskey
happened to get hold of him, and
"Tex." reported for his tryout at Paso
Robles lato In February, and ho con
tracted la grippe on tho Journey. Ho
was under the doctor's enro for near
ly a week at the training camp.
This wasn't an especially good
start for a green hand. Callahan and
Gleason looked him over carefully
and discovered his curVe was ot tho
round-house character the kind that
big lcaguo batters literally eat up.
So Gleason set about to teach him tho
difficult hook curve. Much to his sur
prise "Rob." picked It up in a single
day. He wrb abln to get a terrific
break to tho ball with the over-arm
motion, but couldn't control it as
was natural.
Russell was shipped along with the
Yaunlgan crowd and had exactly two
trials in the month of traveling. The
first wa.s against a team at Redlands,
Cal., and he won that game, striking
out 16 men. Out he looked awfully
green then, didn't field his position
especially well and didn't use the
hook at all. Ho depended entirely on
his speed.
In the meantime negotiations were
under way to havo him sent back to
the minors whqn, by chance, Acting
Manager Gleason of the Yannigans
sent him against the San Francisco
team. "Reb." shut out the Seals and
held them down to five hits. He had
the hook working wonderfully well
and Bhowed a big improvement in
fielding the Job.
Gleason Immediately wired on to
Callahan to withdraw waivers on the
youngster: "He seems to havo the
makings of a great pitcher," Gleason
said.
A couple of weeks ago RusBell was
given his first trial in the major
Jeagues, working the last three in
nings against Cleveland. The first
man to faco him was Lajoio. This
Albert ("Texas") Russell.
was enough to scare any kid to death,
but RubsuII was equal to the occasion.
Iu tiliurt he whiffed five men in thrco
rounds, Including Joe Jackson.
Tho following week he was sent in
against Detroit to start the game, Ho
loBt by hard luck aB even the Tlgoro
will admit but held tho hard hitting
squad to five hits. He was cool, de
liberate and worked like a veteran.
Then St. Louis faced him and were
hold to two hits, losing without a
chanco In tho world against the big
fellow.
Then ho went against Ray Koatlng.
tho star spit bailor tho New York
Highlanders picked up this spring
and In front of the largest crowd evor
gathered around a baseball diamond
(estimated at 43,uuu on iTanK unance
day at Chicago), easily won hla game.
Critics unlto in claiming Russell
looks like a wonderful beginner. Ho
hns tho build and endurance of Ed
Walsh. Ho Is so confident ono has to
marvel at him. Ho has absolutely no
bad habits. In fact tho only criticism
that can bo found with him iu hla
greenness. But that'll soon wear off.
Against Summer Ball,
After three years of intermittent
dlacuealon, during which no definite
stand on the matter was taken, the
athletic board of Amherst college vot
ed that summor baseball bo prohibited.
Tho student body showed strong sen
timent In favor of allowing men to
play ball for money during the sum
mer vacation, but tho majority of tho
faculty were against such action. In
tho official vote of tho board which
decided tho matter tho studont repre
sentatives were for summer baseball,

An Outdoor Birthday Party.
How children do love parties, birth
day parties especially, and every
child Is entitled to ono day out of-the
year for his or her very own, and of
cqurso this is tho natal day. I won
der If mothers realize they are mak
ing history and how very short the
time will be when these wee totB will
bo saying: "When I was little we did
so and so." I am reminded of an eld
erly woman who always counts back
to her sixth birthday and the sake
which she chose for tho occasion was
"roll Jelly." Tho young mother was
not an expert cook but she had prom
ised tho child Bhe would chosa the
kind of caka she wanted, and, let me
add, sho made it, and it was glorious
in tho child's eyes and has gone down
Into tho annals of a happy life with
many a birthday cako and n party.
Remember, children are tho most
saVlsfactory of all guests, tho very
fact of dressing and going to a party
and bringing home tho spoils is bliss.
Provldo little baskets of dainty tissue
paper bags In which to put the favors
and candles, and even the cake, for
some kiddles love to take samples
home.
Now for tho party. We will need
a lawn, some trees and a big porch
and then with theBe accessories there
must bo a big bowl of lemonade on
hand' under a Japanese umbrella, the
stake or handle being driven Into the
ground. Children are always thirsty
and this will prevent them from run
ning into the nouse for a drink every
five minutes. Hide animal crackers
over the grounds and tell the guests
there is a whole menagerie hidden un
der the bushes, in the grass and even
in tho benches of tho trees; give each
one a paper bag in which to put tho
game and five a little prize to the
one who finds the most A small flag
may be hidden and that will make an
other hunt, the gay little "stars and
stripes" being pinned on the lucky
finder.
Tho ."eats" will be the climax of the
party and the cake should bo lighted
with due ceremony and the children
allowed to blow out the candles. Cun
ning favors are made by sticking ani
mal crackers together with icing, and
thus made they will stand upright at
each plate. Delicious small cookies
may be ornamented with daisies made
from blanched almonds, the stem and
leaves of angelica! fasten them on
with frosting.
Snapping motto caps always give
pleasure and sometimes the Christ
mas tree sparkles are obtainable at
this season and they are lovely set to
going outdoors and are not harmful.
Ice cream may be served in orango
halves, thus making baskets with
smilax for handles. Orange ice is very
good served this wpy and is not so
rich as Ice cream. The party sta
tionery that comos for parties is a
Joy to use for the invitations and the
"Sunbonnet" baby cards are attrac
tive also. The "five and ten" cent
store will furnish any number ot trifles
for a fish pond if one cares for this,
or for a grab bag, or better still, for
a "fairy tree." Tie the parcels onto
the low branches and let each child
clip off ono with a pair of scissors.
Anything that makes for jnystery 1b
an adjunct to a child's party.

could uso them as an adjunct to a

all to be done by young pcoplo, as it
is within their possibilities,
Put a nail In the end of a candle and
set It all in a glass rilled, with -water.
The nail will steady tho candle, which
will burn until nothing remains, al
ways rising above the surface of tho
wntcr by reason of the decrease in
weight
Take a small picture cut from a pa
per or book, and wrap it tightly
around a candle. Light a match or
another candle and hold tho flame
near until tho paper becomes trans
parent Unwrap tho paper, and overy
ono will be astonished to find tho pic
ture printed on tho candle..
Put a candle unllghted in a basin
of water. Lot several try to take It
out with their mouths, not touching
tho candle with their hands. Every
one will fall. Then you put your faco
in tho water, and, when your mouth is
near tho end of tho candle, draw In a
deep breath, and tho suction of tho
water will draw tho candle into your
mouth.
Allow some drops from a lighted
candle to fall into a basin of cold wa
ter. This greaso will form flowerB.
String these on a wire with green
leaves mado from paper, and an in
teresting plant will be tho result
Heat a pleco of wire and stick it
crosswiso through tho middle of a
candle. Make a wick at both ends.
Balance the candle on two tumblers.
Light the wicks, and the dropping
of tho candlo grease will make the
candlo ncccaw, faster ntid faster as
tho flame grows hotter. ThIs is q
pretty experiment.
Pastimes For Outdoor Parties.
Did you every try "Blowing tho
Cono?" Tho youngsters will lovo it
Make a largo cono of stiff paper and
slip it on a string stretched between
two trees about three feet, from the
ground.
Give each child a try to see lfby
blowing into the large cud of tho
cone they can send it across the
string. Tho art is to see who can
send it over with the fewest "blows."
Another very good amusement is to
tie a knot In a clothes line and stretch
It conveniently high between two
trees or posts, blindfold each child in
turn and give him three clothes pins.
Then see who can come the nearest
the knot. Each pin Is marked with
the player's number; for instance,
three will be marked "I." throe "2,"
etc, This gives each one three trials.
If the party is a large one It will bo
best to let each child have Just one
pin and instead of numbering the
clothespins could have colored ribbons
tied to them, each child to remember
his or her color. t

Gray Pumps Popular.
For several seasons pumps have
been very modish for street wear,
but fashion decreed they should be of
tan, white or black only. This' sea
son, however, one finds gray quite
as popular as the other colors. The
colonial pump of gray or tan suede
with self-covered buckles is extreme
ly smart for street wear, as are the
black or tan Russian calf ones and
the white nu-buck, patent leather or
bronze kldi ones. Tho Spanish heel
Is the favorite.
The Tassel Earring.
Earrings are again coming into fash
Ion. The latest are composed of seed
pearls. Ten or eleven strands of
these hang from a diamond top, form
ing a tassel about half an inch in
length. This llttlo tassel is again sus
pended by a single thread ot pearls
from a single stone diamond top
screwed into the ear.
These oarrings were first seen in
Paris worn by a manikin of one of
the famous dressmakers, and they have
been adopted by several of the smart
society women and actresses.
When Darning Stockings.
Use a white china egg as a mending
ball for black stockings and a black
ono for while Btockings. This will
prevent eye strain.
