BIG BOOK CONGERN Uncle Sam Fast Becoming Really Successful Publisher. Public's Interest in Government Publications is Growing Monthly, as Shown in Continuously Increased Sales of Documents. Washington—Uncle Sam is becoming a really successful publisher. As is generally known, congress has appropriated increasingly large amounts of money for printing documents on thousands of subjects for many years, but only in recent times has the government attained much success in selling the publications which it prints and not the number printed make for the success of either a private or public concern, and it is on this business principle that Uncle Sam now may be rated as a successful publisher. There has been a tremendous increase in the government's business in selling publications during the last ten years which can only be appreciated after a careful study of the reports of the superintendent of documents of the government printing office, the official through whom all government publications are sold. Josiah H. Brinker, the present superintendent of documents, has recently completed statements which show that the public's interest in government publications is growing and that this appreciation is being shown in continuously increased sales of publications by his office. During the last year the sales of government documents were nearly nine hundred per cent more than the sales of 1904. Ten years ago the amount of cash received from sales of government documents was less than twelve thousand five hundred dollars. For each year there has been a steady increase in the government's book business and during the fiscal year one hundred and six thousand dollars was received from cash sales. Superintendent Brinker's books show that, for the period beginning July 1, 1913, and ending March 1, this year, $89,000 worth of documents were sold, against $73,000 worth for the same period a year previous. If the sales continue for the remainder of the fiscal year as heavy as they have been for the first eight months, the government will have sold more than one hundred and thirty-three thousand five hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred and ninety-seven thousand five hundred and twenty-five per cent increase over last year's sales, and more than eleven times the amount of cash sales recorded for the same period ten years ago. During the eight months beginning July 1, 1918, and ending March 1, 1914, 89,800 letters were received in closing cash for one or more documents, an increase of 43 per cent over the returns for the same period the previous year, when only 62,600 letters were received. There was also a 24 per cent increase in ordinary office correspondence. With the increase of sales of government documents there has been an increase of all kinds of business in the superintendent of documents' office. Besides sending out all of the publications sold by the government for cash, the office of the superintendent of documents, the office of the superintendent of documents, the mailing of publications distributed by the various departments. During the five months from October to February, inclusive, nearly sixteen million such publications were put into the malis, against less than eleven million for the same period in 1913. Most publications issued by the departments are distributed free, and those which are sold, usually in the form of purchased through the superintendent of documents, and not at the department for which the documents are printed. Notwithstanding the large increase in the sales of government publications and the greatly increased amount of work made necessary by the free distribution of publications for the departments, there has been a relatively small increase in the force of men at the superintendent's charge of the demand of work. If Uncle Sam's publishing business continues to grow, however, increased appropriations will be necessary, for it is believed that the limit of output has now been reached with the present force and equipment. 1916, by the new regulations published by the department of agriculture, which went into effect April 1, 1914. The area thus closed to moose hunters for two years lies south and east of the Lynn canal; on the Kena peninsula sheep are protected east of longitude 150 degrees. Hitherto Alaskan game has been protected only closed season and the spiny feet of fees for shooting and killing leases. The excellence of the big game shooting has, however, been attracting wealthy sportmen of all countries in greater and greater numbers each year. The Alaskan bear is the largest known variety and the Alaskan moose-head is regarded as the trophy of the kind in the world, the horns sometimes measuring six feet across. In addition, there are splendid specimens of caribou to be had and the mountain sheep, when in **Warning styles for fire** On board ships will begin the construction of four superdraughts of about twenty-nine thousand tons, which will each carry 16 13.4-inch guns in four quadruple turrets. These ships will be able to fire eight guns ahead, eight aterm and 16 on each broadside. The French believe that these ships be superdraughts to be capable of Elk-12 type, which can concentrate half the number of 15-inch guns in the several directions of fire, or four ```markdown ``` good condition, are distinguished from all the varieties found elsewhere by the peculiarly pure white of their fleece. The districts affected by the new regulations are among the most readily accessible to sportsmen. Although the United States exported 1,143,357,441 pounds of meat and meat products of Meat during the fiscal into the U. S. year ending June 30, 1913, and is still exporting large amounts, mostly pork and pork products, oleo oil and tallow, large imports of beef have been received since October, 1913, nearly three-fifths of it from Argentina. In October 2,699,794 pounds of fresh and frozen beef were received from Argentina and passed inspection by the bureau of animal industry, department of agriculture; in November 3,988,988 pounds, in December 9,440,488 pounds, and in January 8,935,797 pounds; and the total for the four months is 24,434,977 pounds. During the same time from other countries were received 17,729,621 pounds of fresh and frozen beef, and the total from all countries thus becomes 42-164,598 pounds. During the four months the imports from Argentina included also 537,943 pounds of fresh and frozen mutton, 177,801 pounds of canned beef, 1,268-887 pounds of oleo steer, and 470 pounds of edible tallow. The total meat and meat products imported from Argentina during the four months and not condemned weighing 26,420,078 pounds. Only 1,278 pounds of Argentina beef were condemned as unfit for consumption. Two-fifths of the imports of fresh and frozen beef during the four months came from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico and Uruguay. The present beef production of this country for one year, it is estimated, is somewhat less than seven billion pounds, and the imports of fresh and frozen beef from all countries at the recent rate would amount to two per cent of the national production; the imports from Argentina for a year at the present rate would be about 1.3 per cent of the national production. The newspaper reporter who wrote a story, alleging that Secretary of Wm. J. Bryan State Bryan's voice was falling and His Voice. found Mr. Bryan in very good voice when he called the next day to inquire as to its condition. In fact, the reporter got a "bawling out" that was convincing as to the condition of Mr. Bryan's vocal cords. A few days later a story was circulated in Washington to the effect that Mr. Bryan asked who he curiosity enough to inquire how the loss occurred a circumstantial story was told to this effect: That Mr. Bryan appeared at the state department and told of the loss and when friends inquired how it happened he was reported to have replied: "I talked in my sleep last night." When this story got back to the state department it is said that Mr. Bryan eyed with suspicion the report he alleged loss of voice, but the latter appeared innocent and discreetly kept his mouth shut so no excuse has been offered for an official inquiry into the matter. Secretary McAdoo had it in his power to send one job hunter to the pen but he didn't.

I will give you $100 just as soon as appointed and the rest just as soon as I can have a public sale." "Such an offer as this shows your unfitness for public office or public trust of any kind. You do not seem to realize that the era of graft and corruption in American politics is past. I am grateful that that man in the United States who seems to think that there is neither moral turpitude nor impropriety in making an offer of this sort. There is no place for you in the treasury department. The best advice I can render you is to advise you to revise your moral standards." Almost every conceivable use to which land may be put is represented on the national forests. Some of the uses shown range, alphabetically, from apiary through brickyard, cannery, cemetery, church, cranberry farm, orchard, ridge range and turpentine still, to wharf and whaling station. There are 15,000 permits in force for such special uses, which are distributed geographically from Alaska to the Mexican line, and east to Florida. This figure does not include any of the 27,000 permits in force for grazing cattle and sheep on the forests; nor the 6,000 transactions for the sale of timber, and the more than thirty-eight thousand permits issued last year for the free use of timber by set miners and others in developing their homesteads and claims; nor the nearly three hundred-permits for water power development. ahead and astern and eight on each broadside.

SAYS INCOME TAX LAW WILL INCULCATE THRIFT FAMOUS BLIND HYMN WRITER 94 YEARS OLD KAISER WILHELM QUITE HELPLESS IN POLITICS SAID TO BE THE WICKEDEST WOMAN IN WORLD --- "Away back yonder before the war old Bob Toombs used to return to Georgia after a session of congress and boast that he hadn't voted to spend a dollar of public money in his district. In more recent times the member of congress who does not get something from the government for his district has been held in small esteem." CARL LINDS Cordell Hull—Judge Hull he is down in Tennessee—representative from the Fourth district of that state and author of the income tax law, was talking. His grave, earnest, active, though reserved, young Southerner is one of the country's most profound students of taxation. He is serving his fourth term in congress, and during the greater part of his service he has been a member of the committee on ways and measures. It is the committee that frames the revenue bills of the government. Membership on it is a diploma of proficiency in legislative work. That membership also carries with it responsibilities far beyond those of the ordinary member. As an instance, Judge Hull's authority of the income tax law has resulted in a flood of correspondence and scores of visitors daily asking interpretations of the text. Judge Hull is helpful as he may be, but since the treasury department is administering the tax, he is not well prepared for interpretations that may not accord with those made by the department. Disputed points he refers to the de Fanny Crosby, the blind hymn writer, was ninety-four years old on Tues- years old on Tuesday, March 24, and she doesn't care who knows it!

Indeed, she's decidedly happy because so many people do know it. Not only was there a local cemeterial in the First Methodist church in Brige-port, where she lives; not only did King's Daughters all over the world wear violets in her honor, but everywhere those who been helped and comforted by her hymns rejoiced with her. It was altogether an occasion for reforcing, for this sprightly little old woman hasn't an ache or a pain worth mentioning just now, nor a worry of any kind.

Turing Defeat into Triumph. A feminine voice was heard from the steps of a crowded car: "Oh, get in, dear, some one will give you a seat." The next moment two women entered. The men in the car were on their mettle. They read papers sternly. Those who had no papers closed their eyes and pretended to slumber. The too-certain women glared down the car in vain. For half a mile the car went on. Then a man alighted. "There's a seat for one." said the IOWA STATE BYSTANDER partment, but with the officers of the department he consults frequently. Judge Hull is one of those who be lieve in letting the people know wha they are taxed. He is against the policy of administering an anaesthetic before extracting money from them for public purposes. So long as they give up the money unknowingly they are prone to regard the public treasury merely as a reservoir of wealth to be drawn upon; failing to take into account that it is their money which fille the reservoir in the first place. "And this," Judge Hull went on, in explaining his view, "is what makes for prodigal appropriations, waste in public expenditures, and the demand from each congress district, Give, give, give!" "The tariff and the general system of indirect taxation by which the people, the source of all public revenue, are made not to realize that they are paying, are responsible for the lack of public interest in the nation's income and for the centering of that interest on the nation's outgo. "It is not a matter of wonder that the people of each congressional district are prone to gauge the efficiency of their representative in congress by a amount of appropriation he gain for them in exchange by the amount he receives from the whole body of the people. The all too common notion is that it is merely Uncle Sam's money that is being spent, not our own money. But Uncle Sam's money is our money—yours and mine and the money of every individual citizen. "To my mind, it is certain that the income tax law will bring this fact closer home to the individual and give him a new and better perspective on his country's fiscal affairs. Before he asks new and greater appropriations he will hesitate and count the cost. A healthier public sentiment about the uses of public money is certain to result." to think about it and so gets along very well, thank you." As to worrying, she says "I don't know how." Although for forty-four years she was Mrs. Alexander Van Alatyne, her husband dying 12 years ago, to the world in general she has always been Fanny Crosby, to her wide circle of friends simply "Fanny," and to hundreds of children and young people in the world with kind-aged season—the genial little woman is "Aunt Fanny." Perhaps it is her fondness for children and youth that has helped to keep her young. At ninety-four she says she feels no older than she did forty or fifty years ago. A sense of humor, too, is conduct to youthfulness of spirit, and "Fanny" is superabundantly blessed with that trait. "I was just the worst one when I was young," she says with a chuckle, "always up to all sorts of mischief and jokes." In her conversation a funny or witty remark or story continually enlivens the discourse, whatever its subject, she like much and enjoys as long as it savors not of vulgarity. Descended from, Puyan, an cestry, reared in the strictest Calvantial atmosphere, Miss Crosby entertains rigid ideas as to a high moral standard. started out as divine-right prophet has lost all right of every sort. He is under the control in a large measure of a small, reactionary, militarist clique, without whose indulgence he cannot call his soul his own. After resisting successfully the democratic revolution from the Left—the revolution of Radicals and Socialists—he shows himself helpless against the aristocratic-military revolution from the Right. When he differs from the aristocratic-militaries he finds himself discredited. One thing only remains to explain. That is his power to be grown against. When things go wrong the same Germans who dictate what he shall do make him responsible. From the post of real guide and plot of the empire he has been ignominiously dismissed. This trend in German politics has long been plain. The Zabern crisis has made it plainer. The affair Zabern proved nothing but a series of defeats for Wilhelm the Second of Germany. Having occupied the throne with Menelik, descendant of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, she takes her place beside Semiramis, the greatest queen of the ancient East; with Theodora, who ruled with the wise Justinian at Byzantium; with Catherine of Russia, and her nearest modern counterpart, Tsi-An, the dowager empress of China. Like her, Theodora, Catherine and Tsi-An were of the humble origin, and the fairy belief that even a baggar*maid may become a queen is not entirely a transformation to be realized in antiquity. She has gone to the temple and to bacharai to the bodies of dead men, and it is likely that the grim story will have another chapter written by death, the servant of this powerful, iron-nerved woman whose will will reverse, no calamity can shatter. Even in her present capability, her master brain is believed to be the directing influence in the present serious unrest among the subordinate chiefs of the empire. "Don't take it, dear," said one of the women, "some man will want it." In the moment of defeat she triumphed. A Change of View. "Now, I know, you have been gambling again and breaking my heart.

Housework is either a very great menace or equally an aid to health, beauty and happiness. If the housekeeper approaches her work with strained nerves, a scowl upon her face, and her temper at white heat, or if she approaches it grudging, it is, or realigning, with look of the mind, eyes and a determination to do it because she must, plainly shown in the straight, hard line of her mouth, then house work isn't going to bring her much benefit beyond cleanliness. If, on the other hand, she takes the same interest in dusting the furniture, welding the broom and polishing the brasses as she does in learning the steps of the latest tango or playing a same of tennis, which is every bit as strenuous the man often finds to find that housework is drudgery. Housework, rightly approached and rightly pursued, bring splendid results. It is the best series of physical culture exercise there is, because, first, it has a definite purpose; secondly, it helps keep the blood circulating, the muscles pliable and the body and mind working in unison, and, thirdly, it helps to educate. Housework involves brain work. By inducing the mental faculties to direct the movements of the body the mind becomes more alert. In performing each and all the duties of the work, it will not allow her body to slouch any more than she would at the dancing lesson. She will take frequent long draughts of fresh air, beside breath regularly and deeply all the time, and she will on no occasion allow herself to become overfatigued, for she snatches periods of rest between duties. THIS ONE AN OLD FAVORITE Lemon Butter Served at Luncheon Will Please the Guests—Sour Oranges Also Fine. Old-fashioned lemon butter is a prime favorite for luncheon. Here is a good recipe: Wash, dry, then grate the yellow rind from one fine lemon into a small agate saucepan. To it add half a pint of fine granulated sugar, one fresh egg, a pinch of salt and a dessertspoonful of butter, five tablespoonfuls of cold oil, and the strained juice of one lemon. Over a slow fire dissolve these ingredients, then simmer the mixture until as thick as molasses. Stir constantly. Remove the pan from the fire when the right consistency is attained. Four into a glass dish or large tumbler. It is ready to serve soon as cold, with plain uniced cake, bread or crackers. Four oranges may be used in exactly the same way with satisfactory results, but sweet ones will not answer at all. Jelly Omelet. Break fresh eggs into a bowl and beat lightly with a fork. Add salt and hot water and as soon as blended, pour into a smooth pan in which half of the butter has heated, but not browened. Shake the pan as eggs begin to thicken and as soon as partly cooked lay a plate over pan and invert it. Place pan back on stove, add the remaining butter and slide in the eggs. Place a cover over and cook a few seconds, or until a toookpick from the pan is hot, place, spread jelly over quickly, fold over and sift well with powdered sugar. All this must be done quickly and served at once. This is a fine breakfast* dish served, with delicately toasted milk biscuits or hot rolls. Whey Bread. Put a pint of clabbered milk on the stove. When the curds separate strain and boll two quarts of the whey briskly for ten minutes. Strain again, and to the whey add two tablespoonfuls of butter, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one of salt, one yeast cake dissolved in warm water, and flour enough to make a stiff batter. Let stand in a warm place until light, add flour enriched with palky flour enough. Put into well-greased pans and when doubled in bake in a moderately hot oven until a golden brown. This will keep fresh and sweet longer than bread made with water or milk and water. Mexican. Dish. Wash one cupful of rice and fry brown in a skillet with one tablespoonful of lard (or any fat); cover with hot water or broth and add one pint of tomatoes, two small onions cut fine, one cupful of any kind of meat, either cooked or raw, cut in small pieces, and season rather highly with salt and pepper. Let boil for 20 minutes, then set back on the stove for the rice to dry and swell. A very appetizing cold weather dish. Coffee Cookies. One-half cupful butter, or butter and lard (mixed), two cupfuls brown sugar, (light brown), one-half cupful coffee, one-half teaspoonful salt, two teaspoonfuls (even) cream tartar, one of soda, pastry flour to roll thin. Of course the flavor depends on the strength and flavor of the coffee. Stuffed Eggs Cut four hard-boiled eggs in halves, remove yolks, mash and add two tablespoonfuls of -grated cheese; one teaspoonful vinegar, one quarter teaspoonful mustard, salt and pepper to taste; fill in the whites of eggs and press together. To Remove Old Varnish. Having discovered an excellent method for removing old varnish from my furniture I pass it on to others.

Coffee stains may be removed from the table linen by rubbing them with pure glycerin and rinsing afterward in lukewarm water. This is also good when cream is in the coffee. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The Negro Fellowship league of Chicago is in its fourth year of existence. It offers the only place in the black belt besides the poolrooms, saloons, and five-cent theaters for recreation for whoever wishes to obtain it. Every day for the last four years until nine o'clock in the evening the room has been kept. The league of blacks boasts all who it but goes out and invites young men and boys who frequent the street corners and other places.

During the last year more than 100 men and boys have been given a bed free until they could find work. Those who have no work are found employment. While they are waiting for employment they play checkers or read. Five hundred negro men and women have been furnished employment by the Fellowship Employment bureau since July.

No outside work is done in the Hampton institute laundry—only that of students and teachers and that for the dairy, kitchens, dining rooms, dormitories, and the boarding department. The largest tree in the United States is said to be the Mother of the Forest, a giant redwood in the Calaveras big tree grove located in a wooded jungle maintained 14,069 board feet of lumber. There are, however, many claimants for the honor of being the "largest tree" and the "oldest tree," and these claimants, according to foresters, cannot always be verified. A communication to the Baltimore American denies that the rural schools of the black population are a failure. The correspondent says: "I think it is impossible to be otherwise under the circumstances, for they don't seem to be included in the state school law. Anyhow, the colored people don't get enough money to run their schools. It is impossible to run the schools on the pittance they get, according to the taxes they collect. If the state, it would appear that if they had the benefit of the taxes they could get better schools. They have no way, to get any benefit from the taxes only through the schools. "It used to be published how much they did pay and, judging by that, they must pay double and triple the amount now. As high as the cost of living is you can't get proper school teachers, as a whole, to teach for the salary offered. No person can live on such a pittance. If the colored schools are not included under the law it is not reasonable that the several school boards be interested in them. The coloration of nothing themself is looking after them, and that is why they are in this condition." Mrs. Louise Waterman Carpenter, a direct descendant of Roger Williams and the oldest living member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, celebrated her one hundred and seventh birthday recently in Worcester, Mass. She received many gifts and messages.

It is significant that today the real leaders of the negro churches are seeking to emphasize the fact that religion has to deal with the whole life of the man. His intellectual as well as his emotional, his volitional and his social life are to be related according to the ethical principles of Jesus. We have often done, for the hand of a artist who will paint for them, terms of their own life the personal life of Jesus in such a way that he will attract their whole being. One man said, "The great moral needs of common life have convinced me that exhortation has done its work; interpretation must follow." The relation of the church to the betterment of these conditions is a subject by itself. There is a hostility to most inferences for evil as far as the leaders are concerned, but when the leaders of the church leaders who are positively in favor better things, he looks in vain for many of the real professional leaders and business heads of the race. When asked for an explanation, two widely different answers were given by trained leaders; perhaps the real answer lies between. One said that the professional men and business men are temperamentally hostile to the church. They are of no value because of their too liberal views and their personal pride. The other said that these men might now be in the ranks of the church if it were not for the fact that the church leaders wanted to decide everything and that these men had no chance to utilize their knowledge of馅饼 and trained leadership which has secured their places in the world. It seems self-evident that there is a great place for such men in the church and that the probability as the church opens up larger fields of opportunity for social and community services, these men who have been especially trained and who have shown special qualifications in such leadership, will be the co-workers with the pastor to make the church an ever-increasing force in the community life. The Memorial hospital at Tuskegee, where we next find ourselves, is an up-to-date building with modern equipment, where outside patients as well as students are received, writes a recent visitor to the institution. We have just time after making a tour of the hospital to visit a few class rooms before dinner. A chemistry class has been analyzing clays from the Tuskegee farm. A geometry class is doing original work founded on some of the complexities of the carriage making shop. A class in arithmetic is working problems in discount. There is a cashier and teller, and real money, so-called money, is used to the process a reality to the students. In the classes in English each student is taught one theme each mouth on a subject assigned by his industrial teacher. This is not only to show his technical knowledge of the subject, but also his ability to express it clearly and concisely. Tuskegee has solved the problem of the industrial school, and teaches the dignity of labor by associating the academic and industrial departments. Among all the schools of the United States, Tuskegee stands fifth in the number of persons who are studying the English Bible. Since the Indians of the grass lands of Argentine were subdued in 1878 the systematic reclamation of the land has been stupendous. Some of the large ranches carry as many as 50,000 head of cattle and provide hunting grounds for many Englishmen. The gaucho is one of the most picturesque as well as useful figures on these ranches and forms the counterpart of his brother, the cowboy of North America. Life on a ranch is far from unpleasant, and on some of the big ranches under British control evening dress for dinner is the custom. According to Dr. Jacques Bertillon, the French statistician, suicide is commonest among liquor sellers, chimney sweeps, musicians, butcher and fruiters. It is frequent among "camelots," shop assistants, cutters, hair dressers, servants, lawyers, costers, doctors and druggists. It is rare among the clergy, government officials and men leading an active, open-air life. There are 160 dramas and 21 meidramas based on the life of Joan of Arc. Last year 1,237 seamen and 839 passengers on British vessels lost their lives at sea. This total, the largest since 1894, includes 673 seamen and 825 passengers who perished in the Titanic. A man is seldom as good as a girl thinks he is before she shears him, or as bad as she shears he is afterward. The wages of the chaufeurs of the United States total more than those of school teachers. Missouri has 677,190 dwellings, in habited by 749,812 families, containing 3,293,335 persons. The area of corn harvested in the United States in 1913 was 105,820,000 acres. Great Britain owns 160,000 miles of ocean cables and Germany 10,000 miles. There are 860,000 automobiles in the United States, exclusive of commercial trucks. BASEBALL Jack Dunn's Baltimore Orioles are going along at a merry clip. Manager McGraw says Thorpe has developed into a real ball player. Reports are that Zeider's bunion has showed up in Tinker's festive camp. Manager McGraw of the Giants announces that he will retain Outfielder Hammon. The Minneapolis club has signed Catcher Julius De Rose of South Bend, Bend, Ind. Pitcher Ritter, the Giant recruit, has been released by McGraw to the Toronto club. Manager Huggins has signed a pitcher named Pillman. He's now looking for Liniment. Terry Turner's throwing arm, which has been ailing for some time, is rounding to shape nicely. Wood, the recruit player with the Naps, is poling the ball all over the lot with Joe Jackson's bats. Bob Unglaub, former major league player, has signed to manage the Fargo team in the Northern league. Bad Bill Dahlen is to be chief of scouts for the Brooklyn club as a reward for not jumping to the Feds. Manager Bill Armour of the Kansas City Blues is jubilant over the prospect of having a hard-hitting club. President R. B. Ward of the Brooklyn Federals has a profit-sharing scheme of remuneration for his players. Manager Stallings says that the Evers-Maranville combination will be the fastest in the National league this season. Big Ed Konetchy, who will hold down first base for the Pirates this season, says he expects to have a good year. Some of the players who we can safely say are in good condition are Cobb, Speaker, Mathewson and Walter Johnson. Nap Rucker, the Brooklyn star, attributes his fine early-season condition to handball, which he played regularly all winter. Charley Ebbets, owner of the Brooklyn Nationals, refuses to discuss the Feds. "Time will tell the story," declares Ebbets. There is a growing suspicion that Nick Alfrook and Dutch Schafer will not be the only clowns with Washington this year. Hank O'Day has all the requisites of a successful manager. He takes as a personal insult, every question which is asked him. Charlie Ebbets says he sees a pennant in the distance. The distance referred to must be the Polo grounds across the big bridge. Pitcher Hopper of the Cards once figured in a trade for a dog, thus showing to what extreme a manager will go for desirable talent. Newark is to have continuous baseball, now that the Long Branch team of the New York-New Jersey league has been transferred there. Leo Martin, the young semi-pro. infielder from New York, has been given his release by Manager Griffith of Washington and sent home. Phils don't need Mike Doolan and Hans Lobert. On the same line of thought, the Bell Telephone company doesn't need any subscribers. Jimmy Lavender thinks that he was a bad pitcher last season because Johnny Evers was manager. He must think highly of Hank O'Day. The injury to Chapman has apparently showed Olson back into the short field job for the Naps. The veteran is performing in classy fashion. Why don't some of those $1,300-a-year players get out air-injection restraining the players from interfering with their efforts to earn a living? Joe Tinker has by far the strongest pitching staff in the Federal league. Seaton, McGuire, Hendrix, Brennan and Swann are five able twirlers. With Wagner out of the game, Bill Carrigan is turning his attention to filling the shortstop position. He has two promising youngsters, Judge and Janvyr, and although both are more kids they have showed considerable stuff. Mark Hall, the young pitcher of the Tigers, is trying out the slow ball and believes that it will make him a winning hurler in the American league. Manager Ganzel of Rochester claims that infielder McDonald, who went over to the Pittsburgh club of the Federal league, is a contract-jumper. The New York World says: "If we were going to place a bet on the outcome of the National联赛 race wred one of the experts picks them to win." MIKE MOWREY NOW A PIRATE Mike Mowrey, the Pittsburgh's new third baseman secured from St. Louis last fall, is not a brilliant fielder, but he more than makes up for that deficiency by his heavy stick work and cleverness on the bases. He is one of the biggest third sackers in the business and a battering-ram can't budge him from the far corner when a play requires that there be no giving way. It is not known why Mowrey is called "Mike," unless it be that the name fits his complexion. His name is Harry; he was probable christian in Baltimore and he makes his home in Baltimore and he has a professional ball about six years. He played with Johnstown, Pa., then went to Savannah, in the South Atlantic, where he attracted the attention of Cincinnati. The Reds let him out to Baltimore for a while, but soon recalled him and he spent two years with the tribe of Herrmann. He was traded to St. Louis in 1909 and played there until the close of last season. SPORTING WORLD The veteran Al Thomas is one of the latest recruits at the Libertyville training camp. A three-year-old pacer called Contention buzzed a half in 1:02 at Los Angeles two weeks ago. Green trotters and pacers are in the majority at the Columbus track where many will train this year. Beany Walker, the Coast critic, credits Freddie Welsh with being the cleverest boxer in the world. The fact that the short ship circuit starts on June 15 is making the boys take hold a little earlier this year. The youth who said, "An amateur is one who can't do nothin' good enough to get pay for it," was a pessimist. Back at the monickers again, Cincinnati has an expert on the bowling alleys whose name is Mr. Spare. The Chattanooga Golf and Country club will construct a $5,000 clubhouse to replace the one recently destroyed by fire. Talk about your race winners of recent years, Flora Temple won 96 races in her career and Goldsmith Maid 95. Lou Dillon has a fine bay fifty foot by The Harvester. The young miss has a speed inheritance under two minutes. Coach Sparrow Robertson of the Irish-American club, New York, will build the cinder track for the Panama-Pacific. George Chip's hands, injuries to which have necessitated his canceling several bouts, are now ready for action again. A New York fight critic says that three bouts a week is too many for any boxer. Hassan he ever heard of Bat Levinsky. If Ad Wolgast has made $285,000 in four years an Eastern critic calls a woefully limited vocabulary in saying he "earned" it. The Duke of Manchester says "Jay Gould can't be defeated." Then adds, "We will show him next spring when he comes to England." J. W. Fuller, a Texas turman, was the biggest winner at the winter meet, at Jaureus, recently closed. His horses captured $10,230 in stakes. Anthony F. Wilding will visit the United States this year as a member of the Australian team in quest of the Davis international cup. University of Chicago has decided to abandon the one mile relay for this season and attempt to cop the half and two mile events at Philadelphia. Everyone who has seen Bob Fits on the stage does not hesitate to admit that when in his prime Bob was surely one of the greatest fighters the world has ever seen. No wonder George Slosson power beats Willie Hoplee. George uses the same billard cue which he has been using for the last over-nine years. Melbourne Inman's representative in arranging the matches with Hoplee to be played in both styles of billards forecasts as his honest opinion that Inman will win. "He is certain to lead at English billards and has a good chance to beat Hoplee at his own game." Tommy Ryan, who used to be in it himself, says that the boxing game has changed for the better. Tommy Ryan always lost but few hours of his sleep trying to reconcile ante-battle odds with the post-fray results. MOVIES ALL RIGHT English Judge Declares, Them "Healthful Recreation." Upholds Corporation in Permitting Them—Laurence Brooks McCloskey a Star of the Films at the Tender Age of Six. In hearing a case in the chancery division of the British law courts a few days ago Mr. Justice Eve expressed some curious sentiments in regard to moving pictures. The case was a motion for an injunction to restrain the corporation of Shoreditch from permitting the Hoxton Public Baths in Pitfield street from being used as a cinematic theater. Mr. Baumann in support of the motion, said that, the baths were in the same street as the picture theater of the Hoxton Cinema, Limited. The corporation had found that there was no use for the bath in the winter months, and accordingly let it for what he submitted, was a purpose wholly outside the provisions of the baths and washhouses act. The point in the cage, said counsel, was whether the purpose was to afford "healthful recreation," which was legitimate. He submitted that a cinema entertainment did not come within this description. After hearing counsel, the judge said as to the use of the word "healthful," that an entertainment by means either of the drama or something which was in the nature of the drama was wholesome and salutary recreation, and declined to stop the entertainment. Pooping a Dairy Farm. The great Elmendorf estate, near Lexington, Ky., is to be featured in motion pictures. For weeks past an expert has been on the grounds completing arrangements for the work, and pronounces the scenery wonderfully appropriate for the setting of a magnificent picture. The material for the film includes 9,000 acres of land, worth $2,250,000; the largest dairy in the world, containing a thousand cows, every one a thoroughbred; $2,000,000 invested in breeding animals; one of the most magnificent mansions in the country, surrounded by beautiful gardens, and extensive houseboats filled with ripe fruit and juicy fruits; a modern bakery, laundry, ice plant and many other wonders which can only be seen through the eye of a movie camera. Child Already a Star. Laurence Brooks McCloskey, a young student of six, who has learned the delights of motion picture work when school is not holding forth, could be truthfully called a finished student of six, when in "The Social Secretary." Having no self-consciousness to overcome, he soon was playing star parts. He is Laurence Brooks McCloakey. an excellent villain, and any hero unable to avoid trembling under his stern glances is "more to be pitted than scorned." Brooks also appeared in "The Doctor's Romance" and later was the leading man" in a series of "kiddie" pictures which included six melodramas—New York Herald. Ballora Are Moyle Farra Before leaving the New York navy yard at Brooklyn to join the fleet assembling in Guantanamo bay for maneuvers, the battleship Michigan, which aided in the escape of Gen. Felix Diaz from Vera Cruz during the recent troubles in Mexico, was equipped with a Pacer Cameraman, a picture projection machine and thousands of feet of the latest film. Among these pictures were those taken of the West Point Annapolis football game at the New York Polo grounds. As evidence of the popularity of motion pictures with the government there is hardly a day goes by at the plant of the Nicholas Power company. The Nicholas Power company the army or navy do not go through the various departments receiving instructions on operating these projecting machines. Photonplay Star Gains Health. There is no happier girl in the United States today than Pauline Bush, for she feels that she is now strong and healthy. That glorious California climate has done wonders for her, and she declares she is now ready to tackle any kind of a photoplay part. Dickens Films Dickens stories make exceptionally good films. Two of them, "Oliver Twist" and "David Copperfield," have been showing at cinemas for some months, and now a five-reel version of "The Old Curiosity Shop" is ready. They are all made by a British company. Hernes's Playa on the Films. Through the medium of the "movies" the late James A. Hernes's plays are to be revived. Mrs. Herne and Wray Physiose have just begun the adaptation of the film. This will be followed by "Shore Acres." This will be followed by "Shore Acres." IOWA STATE BYSTANDEH Turned Out of Theater for Laughing Too Heartily at His Own Mannerisms. Harry Pollard and Margarita Fisher were nearly turned out of a Chicago theater recently for laughing at one of Mr. Pollard's own pictures. He was a fan of the actors have, and Margarita called attention to the fact and wagered that Mr. Pollard would repeat a certain action in the picture several times. This started the two giggling and Mr. Pollard soon started to shake with laughter. Presently an usher came eupon up down upon them and said severely, "Say, if you don't like this picture, please remove them and if you want to say it you can go and get your money back." Mr. Pollard tried to smother his laughter, but failed, and the two were forced to beat a hasty retreat. Photoplay Authors' League Organized. Recently, at Los Angeles, the "Photoplay Authors' League" came into existence. Those present at the first meeting were Hettie Gray Baker, Wallace C. Cliffen, James Dayton, Marc Edmund Jones, W. M. Ritchey, Russell E. Smith, Lois Weber, author, director and leading woman; C. E. Ewing, Richard Willis and Frank Woods. April 13, the league was incorporated and these persons are the charter members. The league is protective and founded to secure necessary legislation and protection for the author and to be concerned with prices, nor will it take any aggressive stand with the manufacturers. Membership will be national, the feed $10 a year and limited to those having a proved list of ten produced scripts. Movies In State Prisons. State prisons are installing motion picture machines. Among recent installations of Power's cameragraph projecting machines was one in the Auburn prison of Auburn, N. Y. Another Powers projecting machine has been installed in the Clinton prison at Danaheim, and the prisoners look with eager interest for Sunday, so they can see what is going on in the outside world. The pictures shown are of the regular film releases, but the cameras those showing current events. At the same time it may be noted that projecting machines have been installed in the St. James Methodist church of New York city and the Church of St. Rose of Lima of Flatbush, Brooklyn. Star Sasa Many Lands. Miss Edith Stops, who played Gloria Quainte in the motion picture "The Christian," is one of the few photoplay actresses whose work compels them to move from town to town. Some of the scenes for "The Christian" were taken in England. Many of them were photographed on the rocky coast of New England. At present she is in California, where she is playing the principal role in "Captain Alvastor," and in drama "When Florida she will go at once to Florida to play in "A Florida Enchantment." When that is finished she is scheduled to go to the mountains of North Carolina to make some moonshiners' pictures. Next August will find her in Labrador. Movies Supply Much Labor. MOVIE SUPPORT Electricians and electrical engineers, of course, builders, painters, carpenters and their allies, upholsterers, carpet makers, photographers, lens makers, tin workers, customers, printers, process-block engravers, lithographers and musicians have all benefited by moving pictures. Owing to the demand for colored posters to exhibit outside cinemas there is work for practically every lithographic artist in the world. The dark side of this is the number of amusement caterers—touring actors, show people and so on—whose income has diminished due to the cinema's popularity. "New York doesn't seem to do it," said an inspector to the producer. "Shucks," said the producer, "you can't tell anything by that crowd. We used nearly a thousand people altogether putting on this thing, actual court work, in there themselves as themselves as others see them."—New York World. Nanoleon. By special permission of the carar a film company was recently permitted to use the Kremlin when producing "The Life of Napoleon." They also borrowed battalions of Russian soldiers for the battle scenes, and when the retreat from Moscow was staged 500 Russians became French grenadiers, feeding from the enemy and "dying" for a French "emperor." Some admiration must be placed on the pluck and hardiness of those who were forced to lie in the snow for thirty or forty minutes preending to be dead. Dangerous Above the entrance to a Saucheib street (Glagow) picture theater is an ornamental glass sign announcing the best film on the program. To the sign has been added another which reads, "Tea Rooms No Open" on campus. In conjunction to pass-by,"Tea Rooms Now Open. In the Midst of the Jungle;" whilst another day it read, "Tea Rooms Now Open. The Struggle." Has Novelty In Contemplation. Arthur "Sheriff" Mackley, the famous western actor and director of the well-known "Broncho Billy" pictures, is soon to attempt a novelty in motion picture production in the form of a two-reel subject in which for two-thirds of the reel there is but one character visible on the scene, this character being played by Mr. Foote. The jealous sneer is the fool's acknowledgment of the wise man's merit. MAKE RICH COMPOUND SAVORY RAGOUTS ARE TRIUMPH OF FRENCH COOKING. More Garnish for Other Preparations Than As Diapers by Themselves —Two Recipes That Can Be Recommended. It was particularly by the rich compounds, designated raguits, that the ancient Parisian art of cookery gained the admiration and esteem of the world. These were served as a complement or garnish for other preparations, rather than dishes by themselves. Roombroom Ragout—Put half a pint of stock and half a pound of butter in a saucepan with a sprig of parsley, Place over the fire and melt the butter, Lay in two dozen plump, fresh mushrooms, sliced. They must be tender. Remove from the fire and let stand an hour; then return to the stove and let the mushrooms brown. Dredge in a tablespoonful of flour. 'Mix well and pour in a cupful of boiling water; add a glass of Madeira wine, the juice of a lemon and salt and pepper to taste. Mix with flot of beef. Or the dish may be served as a separate dish for luncheon. Ragout of Cold Beef.-Cut into thin slices cold, rare beef, and season with pepper, salt and a little nutmeg. Crack the bones of the roast into small pieces and put into a stewpan with all the skin and trimmings of the meat. Cover with cold water and cook them for an hour or two before you are ready. Cut the roast the raagout; then through a sleeve, thaw it to the stewpan, add half a large onion cut fine, a heaping teaspoon of 'minced parsley, half a cupful of tomato catupa, a cupful of canned tomato and a blade of mace. Simmer for ten minutes, then put in the meat; let it get boiling hot, and simmer ten minutes more. Mix a tablespoonful of flour with a tablespoonful of butter the size of an egg; stir it in, let it boil up, add a tablespoonful of kitchen bouquet, cut into pieces, and mix with a tablespoonful of currant jelly are added by those who like them. Another Way—Silice rare, cold roast beef thin. Melt in a pan butter the size of an egg and lay in the meat; brown nicely, then add a blade of mace, cayenne pepper, salt, a wineglassful of browned flour and stir all together over the fire. Add half a pint of broth made from bones and trimming of the roast, simmer five minutes. Add a glass of port wine, a tablespoonful of caramel and let it boll up once and serve. Apple Roll With Lemon Sauce. Twelve cups of flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt, four level teaspoonfuls baking powder, two tablespoonfuls of butter, two-thirds cupful of milk, one chopped apple, three tablespoonfuls sugar, one-half tablespoonful cinnamon. Sift flour, salt and baking powder together and thoroughly, mix in butter with tips of fingers. Add the milk, stirring it in with a knife. Roll dough to one-fourth inch thickness and spread with chopped apple, sugar and cinnamon. Roll like jelly roll, cut in one-fourth-inch and place on a plate down. Bake 15 minutes in hot oven and serve hot with lemon sauce. Boll one-third cupful of sugar and one-half cupful water five minutes. Add two teaspoonfuls butter and one teaspoonful lemon juice, dash of nutmeg. For Paring Potatoes Except for French or raw 'fried potatoes, the skins can be removed just as well after they are slightly cooked as before, and it is so much easier! Rinse them off, drop them into boiling water and let them cook five minutes. This is just sufficient to loosen the skins. By holding them with a fork you can slip your knife under the skins and speedily remove them. You will probably need to put 'back on the fire to prepare for boiling, mashing or any of the ways in which you intend to cook them. Brolled Tenderloin. Have the steak cut one and one-half inch thick and broil in a wire broiler. Hold the steak over the coils a few seconds and then turn the other side next to the heat for the same length of time. Repeat the turning until both sides are seared, then make the intervals a little longer. When the steak is cooked through lay it on a warm platter and spread with a rounded tablespoonful of butter creamed with a teaspoonful of finely-chopped parsley and a teaspoonful of lemon juice. Braided Bread. Roll out dough that has been mixed for rolls and has risen and been kneaded well. Take the palm of the hand and make into long strips uniform all their length. Pinch three strands or strips together at one end and braid loosely, then pinch the other ends tightly. Lay on a buttered pan and leave room between the braids to rise. Let rise, bake and then glaze with the white of one egg beaten with tablespoonful of cold water. English Tea Cake. Take one cupful of sugar, one half cupful butter, melted), one teaspoonful each of nutmeg, clove and cinnamon, one cupful sour milk, two cupful flour, one teaspoonful soda (well rounded), one cupful raisins. Mix the raisins together, add the butter and the milk. Put soda in the sour milk and add to the mixture; stir in the flour, and last the raisins, well fouled. Apple Cup Custard. Pare and core four good-sized sizes, steam them until tender, press through a colander; add, while hot, one tablespoonful sugar and one cup milk. Turn into cups and bake in a pan of hot water for 28 minutes. Beat whites of eggs and two tablespoonsful of sugar until stiff, heap over tops of cups, dust quickly with powdered sugar and brown a moment in the oven. FARMING FOR FUR Breeding of Foxes and Skunks for Their Pelts. Young Industry to Be of Great Practical Importance and Promises to Give Results of Interest to Philosophical Naturalists. The young industry of fur farming is not only likely to be of great practical importance, but, like all other practically conducted zoological pursuits, is promising to give results of interest to the philosophical naturalists. It so happens, for instance, says the London Standard, that the two favorite animals with the fur farmer — the fox and the skunk, present striking variations in their fur, and that they are able to produce the most valuable type has already furnished results of scientific value. The silver fox, for instance, is only a color variety of the red fox, and no doubt it is to the natural desire to increase the number of this valued "break" that the initiation of fox farming is due. Experiment has proved that silver foxes, like other varieties of color in more familiar animals, are amenable to selective breeding; as a rule, a pair of silvers has been found to come reversion to the ancestral red coat must be always looked for, at any rate during the first few generations of breeding. But it is not necessary to start with a pair of silvers to produce silver offspring; one breeder raised from a silver male and a red vixen a litter of five pups, two only of which were red, one silver and two "cross," a term which will be explained directly. The silver animal was bred to another—unrelated—silver and produced two "cross" pups and one of its own color. This last silver became the parent of seven pups, all of them silvers. The "cross" fox, which is evidently the intermediate form between the typical red and the valued silver and black types, is a particulated animal on the body and the face limbs and part of the brush. It is thus the opposite of a black tan dog, since in such an animal as the most casual observer knows, the black is found on the trunk and the tan on the face and limbs. It seems curious that two animals so nearly related as the fox and the dog should vary in such different directions; but the fact is not unprecedented, a very similar case being found in two well known birds which are similarly related. These are the pheasant and the gouin fowl, birds of the same family, and liable to produce duce pled varieties; in a pheasant the mothers are mostly confined to the upper parts, while in a pled gouin fowl it is the under parts that are white. Cases like this should make us cautious in attributing special significance to the appearance of white on the upper parts of certain wild animals, abnormal though it may seem. Thus, the skunk, for the most part a black animal, shows white on the upper parts, as a rule, and on the lower parts, as another to other animals beware of the "essence peddler". But this white is variable in extent, and one of the objects of the skunk farmer is to get rid of it as much as possible, skunk skins being graded, other things being equal, on their blackness. It is found that by using black males and females with only a small amount of white, a ninety-five percent of the produce will be black, or first quality, though of course, a certain amount of reversion must be reckoned with. The fact that owls have to be guarded against as serious enemies by the skunk raiser shows that the white streak on the skunk's head and back is probably purely incidental, and has no "warning" significance. It may proclaim to the puma and lynx the wolf and fox, that the skunk is an animal better left alone, but this does not do the malodorous little beast much good if his snowy badge only gives him away to his far more formidable feathered foe, which, hunting on silent wing above, has him at such a deadly disadvantage, besides being less sensitive to stinks than are the mammalian carnivores. Similar as we are with the depredators of cats, weasels and birds, we are apt to forgive that the birds of prey get "own back" with interest, and all theories of coloration and its uses must take into account this fact: the skunk would probably be better off if he were protected rather than advertised by his coat, and his show pied livery is quite possibly rather a disadvantage than otherwise.

Whatever Difference There is Between Convicts and Free Citizens is Almost Entirely of Degrees and Not of Kind, He Claims. According to Fremont Older, a San Francisco newspaper man well known on the Pacific coast, who has studied crime and criminals, criminality is the result of an attitude of mind that may be due to a number of causes, but there is no such thing as a criminal type of man. Mr. Older has established a bureau through which employment is obtained for ex-convicts. The work on his own ranch in California is managed one-time stage robber, and almost all of his ranch employees have been in prison or offenses from petty larceny to burglary and highway robbery. "Many persons seem to think that the men in our prisons are a distinct class different in several essentials from any other class," says Mr. Older. "They seem to think that convicts will be treated differently from other prisoners, whatever difference there is between prison and free citizens is almost entirely one of degrees and not of kind. Few men go through life without at one time or another being out of sympathy with the law in thought or act, but we do not call them all criminals. "The criminals are who those who are in a single offense, which may not include a conscious and continuous attitude towards those who, after one or more offenses, elect to hold themselves without the pals of social regulation and live in defiance of the law and custom. When a man is poor and dissatisfied and his point of view is twisted by an unsympathetic environment or the irresponsible influence of the streets it is easy to believe that the transition from what we might call criminality to habitual criminality "Then he has the criminal attitude of mind and his occupation is law-breaking just as selling boots or books or making stools is the occupation of another man. But he does not choose his occupation because of some inherent mental defect. Many a man whose name is a symbol of honesty would have become a criminal if he had been under the same influences and experiences that affect the average man who steals for a living. "Take the little boys of the very poor. Turned out when more babies to their time from morning till night on the street, but come petty violators of the law and its largely a matter of chance whether any one of them will have a vision of a life of law-abiding honesty and settle down safely before a few encounters with the police and association with crime determine his future as a criminal." "In their business of being criminals, most men look at things differently from us; but in things not concerned with their law-breaking they are like other men in their feelings and thoughts. Realising, then, that criminals are pretty much as other people, I have spent many years trying to correct the point of view of as many of them as possible. The results of my efforts have been most Right now there are 150 exconvicts working on ranches and in other places in California who have got their chance through my employment bureau. My own ranch is worked almost entirely by exconvicts. Only two men out of all we have helped have ever been sent back to prison, which, I think, is a remarkable showing." Hiram's Appetite When the conversation turned to the size of some people's appetites Congressman Charles R. Crisp was reminded of Uncle Hiram's experience in a city hash house. Uncle Hiram, he said, was rambling around the city on a slightsee-ting tour some time ago when hunger went over to picking a restaurant close by he rambled in and ordered layout of lamb.
