Ilancn of Winston- S-ik-m will donate $10,000 for the . .. . Metho'l:rt rrpnanage mere, aim an du:;trinl building for boys will be erected by her. Th's is the second be nefaction in the last few weeks, the firr.t $10,000 being by Mr. Jas. A. Cray and children in memory of Mrs Cray. The Winston-Salem Methodists appreciate, the orphanage, and the Journal says other g;fts are contem in ! I'll plated. The Record mVjht say thi.i connection that it was large'y through the untiring efforts of the Winston-Salem morning paper that the heme was landed there. We have heard leading Methodi.-ts rrpeak of the Journal's work, a fact that some of the boys on the paper have probably forgotten. Methodists in Hickory, who contribute liberally to the sup port of the institution, feel good over tho manner in which the Winston Salem people are standing by it.

A hen like that is some thing to brag on all right. Mrs. A. B.

PRICE OF LINEN TO RISE Linoleums and Carpets Also to Ad- vance in Next Two Years Philadelphia Evening Ledger. "The prudent, foreseeing housewife," -;aid the active executive head of one of Philadelphia's largest department tores, "will buy at once whatever she may need in the way of linens, lino eums and carpet3 for the next two years. Trices in these staples," he :ontinued, "are soaring. "Each invoice we receive shows a marked advance in prices over the revious one. "This country is so dependent on foreign countries and especially the i ountrie3 engaged in the war. tor these particular products. Take the vool that goes into the manufacture of carpets. While the United States raises a large quantity of its own vool, it is also largely dependent on England and Australia for a supply, ana mis supply is getting less and less each day. "In the case of linens and damasks we are altogether dependent on other countries. The hax from which these goocis is made can not be grown in -his country. Ireland used to be and still is a flax-producing country, so is ocouana ana parts of England. 1 lax requires for perfection in growth a soft, moist, warm, but not hot, cli mate. Of course, Great Britain could not supply all the flax the world needs. Belgium and Russia are the t,vo principles countries from which the great Irish and Scotch linen fac tories draw their supplies of the raw material, and these two sources are now closed. The finest flax in the world came from Courtrai, Belgium. There 13 a certain process in the man ufacture of flax which requires the soaking of the flax nlant for a rpr. tain number of days in pits of soft water in oraer to facilitate the sep- aiutiun ox me nore which is the real nax irem the woody stem. x lere s another technical point about flax which few people know, even among those engaged in its growth and manufacture. It is that certain qualities of flax are only suit able for the threads which go the long way of the cloth, known as the warp,' while other grades are suit able only for the 'weft,' or the threads which go crosswise.

Dec. 15 Sports gov erning bodies in aost every branch of amateur athletics in this country ot a! have replied favorably to the sug have repiiea vora y s tion of amateur athletes of America, that a national conference be held to establish a clearer conception of ama teurism. As a result the conference set for December 27 promises to be a remarkable meeting in many respects and to have a decided influence on the future of amateur sport in the United States. According to the present plans there will be an advance meeting to be held in New York on December 19 at which t:me a tentative .program will be ar ranged for the conference. In a gen eral way it is proposed to select offi cers at the main gathering and to ap point committees to represent all de partments of sport, with instructions to report, later in the week, sugges tions for improving the amateur stan dards in the particular branches. These reports will be discussed and adopted in some form and then re ferred to the organization governing that particular sport for inclus'on if "o desired in its code of regulations. It is quite possible that tlrs confer ence will be made an annual event. University of Michigan track of ficials are keenly interested in the ef forts of two Chinese students to make the 'varsfty cinder squad. S. C. Hung is a sprinter of no mean ability while W. D. Wong has already vault ed better than ten feet. The latter Is freshman, who will not be eligible for another year and it is thought that he will be able to add close to t"-o feet to his vault before he enters the sophomore class. Both of these Chi nese athletes received their prelimi nary training at Tsing Hua College it Peking and they are said to be as far advanced athletically as the aver age high school student entering American universities. Close followers of nrofessional snort -re of the opinion that a carefully planned campaign is under way to -moke out Frank Gotch. the retiring " restling champion. Joe Stecker, cf Dodge, Nebraska, the sensational young grappler, is apparently the candidate the promoters have in nvnd as opponent for the originator of the famous toe hold. The pre liminary work has all the earmarks of the campaign which proceeded the matching of Jim Jefferies and Jack Johnson. It is possible, however, that if these two wrestlers meet on the mat that the bout will develop better wrestling that the Johnson-Jeffries bout did fighting. Stecker is about twenty-three years of age and has shown remarkable strength and gripping ability in his short mat career. Rival wrestlers, who are never keen to praise an op nonent, declare that he is a marvel. Gotch, while considerable older, is far "rom beinc a weakling. Since wrest lers do not deteriate in either strength or gripping skill as rapidly as pugil ists, it may be that Gotch will listen in due time to the promoters' pro posals, although to date he has been deaf to the importunities of a host of foreign Goliaths. A question of football supremacy between rival teams is likely to be de cided by a process -of mathematical deductions in the future. Rutgers has come to the fore with the statement that its team gained 2,021 yards frcm 403 scrimage plays during the past season, showing an average gain of about five yards per play. Nebraska claims to lead both east and west In average number of points per game. It may develop that the plan proposed some years ago to give a varying val ue to the touchdown, depending upoh the distance covered dur.ng tne march to the score, will yet find its way to a place in the football code. Anyway you look at it, the Nebras ka record is one to be proud of. Du ring the past five years the "Corn huskers" have played thirty-nine games of which but two have been lost, both defeats being at the hands of Minnesota. In these thirty-nine games Nebraska has totalled 1,036 points to its opponents' 148. a a E3 FORTY-FOUR VARIETIES lXSSsiafp ofufe j 5-!e w.knw the Italian staff of life only in one or two forms, it will ccme as a surprise that there are some forty-four varieties all care fully differentiated.
