Fa.shions for The Week SPORTS IN WAR TIME. Bomb-ThrowinK Becomes an Event at Athletic Meets. A new event is being added to the list of athletic contests participated in at college track meets. It is grenade throwing. Dummy ^enades have been 1 placed on the market which are exact duplicates in weight and appearance of the deadly hand missiles employed by our men in the trenches. In recog- ] nition of the fact that correct throw- 1 ing may be something more vital than ' a mere accomplishment for our young men, college coaches are giving it a place along with shot putting and hammer throwing, indicating that even our sport.s are being affected by the world war.

HORSES IN W.\R. Certain Work in Modern Warfare Can Be Done Only by Horses: There seems to be a rapidly in- creasing opinion that the day of the horse in w^ar has passed. The nearly four years of warfare in Europe has shown this to be an entirely errone- ous idea. On the Western front, where the road system is probably the best in the world, mechanical traction has not been able to displace the horse. In general, it might be said that the line between mechanical and horse traction on a battlefield is the extreme limit of the enemies' artillery fire when any heavy action is going on. The horse is used on the battlefield and the mechanical traction in the rear of it. Of course, during calm periods, me- chanical traction is used along the rear part of the battlefield. There are various reasons for this division. Probably the main one is that batter- ies frequently must be placed and sup- plied In positions some distances from a road. If the army is operating on con- quered ground, this ground generally is 80 cut up with old trenches and shell holes that horse traction, and only horse traction, is practicable. Frequently the mud is so deep that mechanical traction is helpless. In many cases no wheeled carriages of any kind can move. In such cases pack animals have to be used. So well are these conditions recog- nized that, in spite of the tremendous weights of heavy artillery material and the slowness and difficulty of moving them by horse traction, it is considereil that only half the heavy batteries should have mechanical trac- tion. .An army must still have animals for all its cavalry, the usefulness of which Is far from disappearing; It must have horses for all its light field artillery, half its heavy field ar- tillery, and all its regimental and di- visional supply trains. Incidentally, every regiment of in- fantry must have several hundred horses and mules. The more the question Is e.xamijied, the more two facts stand out. The first is that certain work in modern warfare can only be done by horses. The second is that the number of horses needed for armies which are counted by the millions must be counted by the hun- dreds of thousands. A Field in Flanders. [E.xtract from a letter from the front: "I saw a few wind-flowers the other day, and a vast meadow full of kingcups, and that was enough to make me happy for weeks."] There is a field in Flanders Where yellow king-cups stand; Like fair princesses clad in gold Their joyous court they proudly hold In the gay meadow-land. There is a wood in Flanders, A little shimmering wood. Where wind-flowers sway among the grass .And smile upon you as you pass, .A.S country maidens should. There is a bank in Flanders Where celandines a-blow Lift up their shining heads and peer To see their lovely image clear In a bright pool below. .\nd you who go in English fields, Oh think not that our days •Are wholly dark or wholly ill. Tor there are flowers in Flanders still And still a God to priase, â€" R. F. Tractors Still Available.

Dear Lord, is my brave son. I know not how he fares to-night, But keep him ever in Thy sight. For I have but the one. Thou gavest two to bless my life. But one fell early in the strife â€" My first-begotten son. He with his comrades marched away. And then a message came one day â€" Dear Lord, I have but one. Then, while so sorrowed and bereft, Though only he to me was left, I could not say him nay. Who urged that <luty bade him go â€" | His country called, he said, and so IIow could I bid him stay ? But oh, dear Lord, 'tis hard to bear. With not another child to share The hearth when day is done!

The Red Cross is $1,000 richer a.s a result of the first reported violation of Food Administration rules and regu- lations in the Hawaiian Islands. .\h Leong, a Chinese merchant in Hono- lulu, has been allowed to suspend busi- ness for one week, and donate to the Red Cross $1,000 in lieu of further ac- tion on a charge of violating the "fifty-fifty" rule in selling flour. On the first offense several weeks ago the Chinese pleaded ignorance of the law and was allowed to continue busi- ness. About three weeks later he made another sale of flour without the : required amounts of substitutes. J. I F. Childs, Federal Food .ALdministrator I for Hawaii, reports that action in this | case has had a very salutary effect J upon other Oriental merchants, and 1 that practically all of them are now lined up solid with the Food Adminis- ' tration.

Demands of Labor and E.Yport Conili- tions Force Action. Many watch manufacturers have closed the doors of their shops, says a Berne despatch. Organized labor demanded higher wag«s, giving the higher cost of living as a reason. The \ manufacturers are unable to pay high- 'â-  er wages, for export facilities are de- ' minlshlng rapidly and it is almost im- possible to obtain certain raw mater- ials. The men employed as watch- ; makers probably will ftnd remunera- 1 tive work in munition shops, but It is feared that the Swiss watch industry will be ruined by war conditions and never recover from the blow.
