Vecder pub- lished the odds on the pennant chances of every team in the United and Columbia leagues. The quotations were those of "Tommy Tinkey, the famous St. Louis bookmaker." Craven paused and then went on derisively. "Down near the bottom of the list came the St. Louis Rubes and the Detroit Bears. They were coupled at 100-to-l. The Blues, my bonnie young j)lunger, brought up the tail-end and were quote<l at the juicy but hopeless wids of 200-to-l. Biers broke in. "And don't think for a moment that any professional layer of odds is going to give you a price like that unless he is darned sure he won't have to pay off. So you can see what chance those hard-boiled babies think your Blues have." "Boy, what a clean-up a fellow could make by scattering a few thou- sand around at those lovely odds! That is, of course, if a miracle hap- pened and this team of has-beens could come through." This from Craven again. "Do you mean to say that I could â- get two hundred dollars back for every dollar I bet on the Blues?" Terry asked. "Sure you could. What did I just tell you?" Craven answered. "But you would have a tough time placing any bets unless you were one of the big boys like Murallo, Abestein or Johnny Fox. Those lads know how. They are big time gamblers and when they hop aboard a long shot they scatter their bets throughout the poolrooms of St. Louis, Chicago, and New York and nobody is the wiser, even the bookies. Why, when a gent like Murallo places a bet, it's in. There is a baby who knows how to take care of all angles." "I sure would like to have a few dollars down at those odds, just the same," Terry i-eplied. "I have a hunch that this year's Blues team isn't a 200-to-l shot by any stretch of the imagination." "Don't waste your money, kid," Biers advised. "I've been at this game for a long time. Keep away from Murallo and his kind. They're bad medicine. You remember what hap- pened to Dutch Klein?" "He was outlawed." Biers nodded. "Yes and Why? Be- cause he was seen talking to one of Murallo's men in the stand. You'd better keep away from Murallo if you want to keep your job on the paper and come through clean. A newspaper man can't afford to mix his work with a racket like that." "But I can't sec," Terry said in- credulously, "where those gamblers And anybody to take their money at odds like that. How on earth do they get it down without lowering the odds?" Craven gave an impatient snort. "They have a dozen dilfcreiit way.s. .Sometimes they place money on all the teams in the race si> as to avoid su.spicion. You know the old gag. Give away a hundred dollars to win five hundred. Then they have a gang of confederates going around the coun- try placing a hundred here and a hundred there. The old adage about taking a sucker to trim a sucker still holds good. The bookies all go in for it. They figure money bet on a team like the Blues is in the hag already. But don't forget one thing: Murallo or any of his crowd wouldn't get on a tall-ender unless it was taken care of. You can fix a horse race, my boy, but a pennant race is another story altogether. So I don't think Murallo or any of the other mobsters will be bothering their heads about this year's pennant race as far as the Blues arc concerned. "Some guys will always he attract- ed by a long shot," Biers took up the conversation. "As I was saying ju.-it now . . .". . "Can't somebody shut him up?" Craven wailed. "As I was saying," Biers went on, giving Craven a sour look, "it was a real game in the old days and real men playing it too. Listen, I can remember wiien Iron Joe McGinnity would pitch a double-header ami win both games by a shut-out. Yes, and what's more, he'd he all ready to go in the box the following day and nine times out of ten do the same thing again." "Flow far wa.s the pitching mound from the plate in those days, Doc?" Craven asked, with a wink at Terry on the side. He loved to ride the old man. To be continued.

Cleaning A Building The Woolworth Building, which has been getting a bath in a rather desultory fashion since early last summer, will be all cleaned up now in a coui)lc of weeks, just in time for its 19th birthday, observe-'' the New Yorker. It was opened on May 1, 1913.- Had not had a bath since that time and noonday ever really intended to should have one. The present nbolutions, which are being carried on with plain .soap and water, just got started and couldn't he xtoppcd. .Mong in June, some men were sent up to repair copper roofing around the TiSrd storey and in doing it, they washed a clean streak around the building. That looked quite futiny, like a small bandage on a large finger, and the people spoke about it. So they washed down from the 53rd to the 47th storey. When they drew off and looked at that it was funnier than ever. They then worked on down to the 43rd storey, still think- ing they could wash it or leave it alone. After one long look at the result, they decided to wash the whole darn building. They started out with just a few men working and kept it up at that rate most of the winter. Lately they've had eight men working. The dirt scrubs off easily enough, the surface being glazed white terra cottii. The dirt was one sixteenth of an inch thick in some places. The north and west sides, which get the force of the prevailing winds, were less dirty than the other .sides. Tnc men who did the work weren't pro fessional cleaners, just working members of the building staff. Thej were nervous about working on frail scaffolds .so high up, so every morn- ing, after tho scaffolding was rlg- ed, Arthur James, the janitor, went out and walked around it. Ho tops the scales iit the 250-pound mark. :ind they figured if it held him. It would hold anybody. It was his own Idea. ,- Halifa.x. â€" Great Britain would be rid of slum districts within five years declared Sir Raymond Unwin, a member of the British Government's advisory committee on housing ana planning, who with Lady Unwln ar- rived here on the steamship New- found^and from Liverpool. A program was at present being executed that would provide an addi- tional 3,000,000 homes, said Sir Ray- mond, who will make a tour of the continent, lecturing at Massachussets Institute of Technology at Cam- bridge, Columbia University and Toronto. Writes the Kingston Whig-Stand- ard. What has become of the large family Bible that used -.o be a land- mark in any front parlor? Accord- ing to Rev. F. W. Miller of Australia, this little Fr-.iich-Canadian town, 30 radio. He sayb the parlor haj bccrme a living-room and the Bible has been relegated to some bacK room out of sight. The passing of the old family Bible will be regretted by all of us who can rememLer when it was the most impoi-tant and most impres jive object J' the parlor. In those days the par- lor was the .-eceivinfe room and show place of the home. The furniture was of the stiff horsehair variety that was decidedly uncomfortable to sit on 'but was regarded as an ab- solute necessity in the furnishing of such rooms. The shade w.ts I t scrupulously drav.n full-length .ij as to exclude all possible sunlight which might fada the inevitable carpet. The door waa closed tightly with the result that the room emitted a dank, chill air in winter and hot, stifling air in sum- mer. The status of a guest with the household could easily be determined by the room to which he waa usher* ed. The minister, for instance, was automatically seated on the horse-| hair sofa but a visiting poor relation sampled the hard, wooden benches in the kitchen. The passing of the family Bible with its records of births, deaths ai)d marriages and as a hiding place for all kinds of odd documents is to be re jretted. Bu the transforraatioi. of; the old parlor into the popular liv- ingroom of today will be mourned by few.

British Train Sets New Speed Record LONDON, â€" The stream-lined Sil- ver Jubilee Express of the London and North Eastern Railway, running from Newcastle-on-Tyne to London, recently established a new speed record for British trains by reaching a maximum speed of 113 miles an hour. The train, excluding the engine, passengers and baggage, weighed 270 tons. The figure is believed to be a world record for a stcnm-hauled passenger train. It was attained on a falling grad- ient of one in 264. The Home Corner By ELEANOR DALE Women of Windsor State Ultimatum To City Fathers Windsor, Ont. â€" Unless action is taken immediately by city council to provide destitute childret. with cloth- ing that they may go to schoul, wo- men of Win('sor will call their chil- dren out of school on strike, Mrs. Georgina Kctcheson informed council recently.

A telegram was read from Hon. David Croll, Minister of Welfare, stating counc 1 had the authority and re.iponsibility for dealing with the si'.Li.tion. Council decided the Public Services Committee should investigate the matter fully and see it way. and means may net be found of providing the necessary funds.

Three Toronto Ladies Speak Their Minds Three Toronto ladies who won prizes this year at the C.N.E. Mrs. Fordham, 44 Lambton Ave., Mrs. Geo. Judge, 16 Close Ave., and .Mrs. H. T. Crocker, 1 Margdon Road, are very enthusiastic about the use of bottled fruit pectin for maKmg jams and jellies They believe it is greatly responsible for their sure success every time. Mrs. Fordham says her daughters are learning the art of jam-making now, and she is having them use the short-boil method which deliglits them with its simplicity and fine results. Mrs. George Judge says she usoa it for years and was surprised to meet a lady from the United States lately who knew her from a picture she had seen of Mrs. Judge in the United States in a booklet telling of this short-boil method of making jams and jellies. Mrs. Crocker tried the bottled fruit pectin for the frist time this year and won a prize for her blacK currant jam so she thinks the short- boil method "wonderful". These ladies are now looking forward to the grape season which is just com- ing in and will be making ripe grape jam with the aid of bottled fruit pectin that will be another a.v set to their fruit cupboard. This is the recipe.
