TEACH EVERY CHILD
NAME AND ADDRESS
City Dweller Should have Identification
in His Pocket.

Mrs. Kate Cassidy, says the New
York World has set a good example TO
the mothers of New York. The very
first thing she taught her baby daughter
was her own name and the name of the
street she lived in. The result was that
when the child, who is only two and
a half years old. got lost. sae was able
to tell the people who frund her that
she was Gertrude Anastasia Cassidy
of East Eightieth Street. Thus she
was promptly restored to her mother.
Not only is it important in a big city
for children TO be able to identify them
selves but everyone should carry some
sort of Identification card. Most tailors
have a habit OF sewing the customers s
name and address in the inside pocket
of his coat Women. however, seldom
carry anything to identify them.
Whenever a woman is knocked sense
less IN a street aeeident-and hardly a
week passes without some such occur
rence-there invariably Is difficulty ia
Identifying the victim. Frequently er-
rOrs in addresses bring needless shocks
to the wrong families. a good rule for
every city dweller is to carry a card OF
tab giving name and address.

NATIONAL WANTS PEACE
WITH MINOR LEAGUES
Willing to Meet Smaller Organiza-
tons Half Way.

PlTTSBURG. Pa. Sept 10.-Harry
Pulliam, president of the National
League. and Ned Hanlon, manager of
the Brooklyn team, passed through
Pittsburg last night on their way to Gin
cinnati, where an important meeting will
be held today between the officials
of the National and American Leagues
and officials OF the minor leagues. Pat
Powers, of the Eastern League, was TO
have accompanied the two gentlemen.
but took the New York Central and will
meet them in Cincinnati today
President Pulliam. when interviewed as
TO the object OF the meeting which is 10
be held. stated that 1t was merely 10
talk over the proposition OF peace that
had been made by the major to the
minor leagues and the counter PROPOSE
tion that the latter had made. What
this counter proposition is no one knows,
according to President Pulliam, except
Garry Hermann. 1t will be made known
at the meeting which is to be held Ii
Cincinnati today.
You can state" said President Pull
liam. that the National League is not
going into this meeting with a sledge
hammer to beat the minor leagues into
submission. We are willing and even
anxious TO meet them half way, and If
any proposition is presented that is at
all reasonable It will be accepted. We
desire peace with the minor organiza-
tions and We think that now is the time
10 secure IL"
When asked as TO the report that the
umpires had entered into a combination
to demand a minimum salary OF s., 400
per year, President Pulliam said:
u know nothing of such a report, but
l am willing TO say this: The umpire
earns all the money he gets" Umpire

chuckled as best he could while nursing

foul tips a dozen times in the last week.
Ned Hanlon went on record as saying
that there never was the least doubt
but that Pittsburg would land the flag
this season. and also that Wagner was
the greatest player who ever partici-
pated in the national game.

RACING BOAT MODELS
ARE 1000 YEARS OLD

The truth of the old saying that there
is nothing new under the sun has been
once more demonstrated by the discovery
of a model boat. at least 1000 years old.
which resembles in many respects the
racing craft of the present day. This
model boat was discovered in an Egyp-
tian tomb.
Although the boat is only a toy. it af-
fords proof of the fact that the racing
boats of 1000 years ago were certainly
modelled on the lines of our latest racing
yachts. The model is obviously that of
pleasure boat. for the hull has been
so cut down for the sake of speed that
it would be quite useless as a cargo or
passenger boat. The most modern row
ing boats made have not such a deep
keel as that from which the model was
copied.
There has been good deal of dis
cussion at one time or another as TO
whether England or America invented
the FIN keel" for racing boats There
IS TO question now that the honor be -
longs to neither country, since both have
unconsciously copied the idea from
Egypt. Until few years ago boat build
ers had never constructed a boat with a
line of prov equal to that seen on the
little model just unearthed. Racing
yachts of twenty years ago had no such
lines.
In some respects, at least, we have
improved on the boats OF 1000 years ago.
The stern of the model is not so good
as would be the stern of a model OF u
modern racing yacht. Considerable i'm
provements have also been made in
steering gear However, TO all intents
and purposes the boats used by river
enthusiasts on the Nile 1900 years ago
were very much like the modern racers
of today from the point of view OF ap-
pearance. In the matter of speed the
modern boat would be their superior

ANIMALS CAN ENDURE
PROTRACTEO HARDSHIP
Whales, Elephants, and Eagles Survive
Deprivation Longest.

II is questionable whether those who
delight to store tales of feats of endur-
ance in animals will accept the latest
claimant to notice, that of the dog who
has just been dug out alive from rab-
bit hole in the Scilly Isles. after having
been lost for a fortnight.
Instances of remarkable endurance
among animals, however, are numerous.
Several years ago a man In England fell
into deep crevasse. With him when
he was last seen was his favorite dog

his remains. There was but the skele-

RADIUM PRODUCED BY
ELECTRIC ANALYSIS

To produce two pounds of radium
takes no less than 5000 tons of uranium
residue, and the cost of handling each
ton is $4,000. To secure the chemically
pure radium is enormously expensive.
and II would be impossible TO do this
by chemical analysis; therefore, the Iar
more sensitive electrical method Is en-
ployed, and chemists say that they can
detect the presence of a radioactive
substance BY the means Of such a min
ute quantity that il would require $500
times this amount to show at all in the
spectroscope. II is stated that this
method Of electrical analysis is thou
sands OF times more sensitive than
spectrum analysis and millions of times
more sensitive than chemical analysis.
