PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE.
Checks for $500, 900 Written but
Never Cashed, to Avoid Taxes.

CINCINNATI. March 9.-Checks for

Connie Mack Talks on

Strike Lac viii Not BE
Rebealed---N orUal Bab-
tie, NeqO Professional
Skating Champion.

Connie Mack, who has been appoint
ed as IN of the American leagues rule
committee, does not expect to see
many changes made. The American
league has always been opposed to the
foul strike rule, but it has never been
successful in winning the Nationals
over to this way of thinking.
There are some hardships about the
foul strike rule, but | hardly think
there is any chance to have the rule re-
pealed." Connie said. The best we
can look for is some modification. Take.
for instance, the foul tip that goes
back straight over the catcher's head.
Now, l don't think it is fair to call q
strike on a man for a tip of this sort
unless it is evident that the batsman
is trying to foul them. There is no
man living so clever as to be able TO
tip the ball over the catcher's head.
If we could have this sort of foul
strike cut out it would help some. The
foul strike rule, however. has its adj
vantages and will be retained.
Every year there is a cry, Change
the rulesv No matter how good the
rules could be made the same cry
would arise from some quarter. Well,

to see a little more hitting, but no one
seems able to suggest the proper rene
dy. Did you ever take into considera-
ton the improvements i'll the pitchers
in the last ten years?
"A batsman who is hitting .275 nova
days is as good as the man who ten
years ago hit $50. In those days each
club had Il OF two good pitchers, and
the batsman would lay for the poor
ones, clout them all over the lot and
give their batting averages Il good
boost, but when two good pitchers met
in those days they had low scores too.
Well, at the present time each club
carries four or five first class pitchers,
and the batsmen seldom get a chance
at anything easy to boost up their bat
ting averages.
why, l don't think we had more
than six or eight what you might call
easy games all last season. With such
close contests that each team has a
chance to the very end of the game it
looks to me as though the rules We're
good enough. The people want a con-
test, and we could hardly improve in
that line by changing the rules"
Norval Baptie is the new professional
skating champion of America. He de-
feated Johnny Nelson of Minneapolis,
who held the title for many years.
Baptie challenges the world on either
indoor or outdoor courses, preferring
the latter, as do most skaters.
A scheme to erect one of the largest
skating Kinks in the United States is
said to be under way now, and before
the cold weather sets in next fall the
place will be in readiness to conduct
skating races regularly. The PROPOSE
ton is said to be in the hands of east
erners with large capital, who are in
Chicago looking for a suitable loca-
ton.
The announcement was given out at
a recent meeting of the Western Skat-
ing association. Members of the Or
ganization think if such a place should
be constructed it would be Il good pay
ing investment and would also create
more interest in skating.

No two people in the world have pre-

fullest sympathy with her.

The lights disappeared, and the vessel

In his quarters the general paced up
and down uneasily. He had reckoned
much Oh the success of this enterprise.
1t meant much to the cause. In spite
of its apparent impossibility he had
hopes that the young fishermen might
succeed-had almost brought himself to
believe that they would.
But as the hours went by he ceased
to glance toward Live Oak hill. The
enterprise had failed, and the brave
boys were at the bottom of the river.
Suddenly, as he passed the window,
he uttered an exclamation of surprise.
Surely there was a light ON Live Oak

more wounds. Eventually he crawled
out, with little injury save the scars.

CONVERTED HANNA.
Editor COwIes Taught Him a Lessor
In Pocket Picking,

Lesson
In Pocket Picking.
Edwin Cowles, long editor of the
Cleveland Leader, numbered among
his accomplishments that of pocket
picking. OF course he picked pockets
as an amateur only, but it is doubtful
whether there ever was professional
who could play the light fingered game
more skillfully than the able editor did
occasionally for fun.
1t was during the administration of a
mayor who had been elected as q
protege OF NJ. A. Hanna, who was then
starting in Cleveland upon the political
career which gave him national prom
inence, that the Leader began a cru
SADIE against vice. Articles were pub
lished daily in which it was asserted
that the city was full of thieves, gam
blers and other crooks, and the mayor
was taken severely to task for not hav-
ing them driven away. Hanna, being
the power behind the municipal throne,
came in for censure in an indirect way,
and, meeting Cowles in the street one
day, he eXpostulated with him concern
ing the Leaders style of warfare.
Look here, Cowles," he said, whats
the use of all this racket? You're max
ing a mountain out of a molehill. There
are no more crooks In town than there
have been right along, and it would be
foolish to expect any mayor to drive all
the lawbreakers out, no matter how
hard he tried or how good his inten-
tons might be-
Cowlcs insisted that his paper was
right. and he expressed the belief that
there We're then more pickpockets in
Cleveland than had ever before infest-
ed that city.
"Pickpockets" snorted Hanna. 81
don't believe there's pickpocket in the
town. And, anyway, 1 have no SYM
patty for anybody whose pockets are
picked. No one but Jay could ever be
robbed in that way"
you don't know" said Cowles, chow
skillful some of these light fingered fell
lows become. 1t would be possible for
one of them to go through your pockets
while talking to you as am now"
1tdlna lauSncu derlSlNely anu Sdlu
any pickpocket that ever got a hand
in his clothes without being caught at
it was welcome to anything he could
extract
AS they were parting Cowles turned
to ask what time it was, and Hanna
felt for his watch.
1t was gone.
That's strange" he said. 81 guess
must have forgotten when I dressed
this morning to put it in my pocket"
Speaking Of forgetting things"
Cowles answered, Il forgot my wallet
when 1 left home. Could you lend me
$1O?"
Hanna felt for his money, but found
none. He put his hands into one empty
pocket after another and was begin
ming to look sheepish when Cowles
handed him back his watch, his money,
his keys and a bundle of letters.
Every well, Cowles," said the future
senator; I'll see what can be done
about driving the pickpockets away

Soluble Glass.

Soluble glass, or water glass, as it
is sometimes called, is an artificial sill
cate of sodium or potassium Or a dou-
BILE silicate of both of these alkalis, and
thus in It's essential ingredients the
same as ordinary glass. But ordinary
glass is to Il slight extent soluble in
water, owing to the alkali which it
contains, and b. varying the proper
ton of the alkaline constituents the
compound becomes readily soluble to
any desired degree. Attention was
first directed to it by Fuchs, Il German
chemist, about 1924. 1t has been used
to some extent, and quite successfully,
in preventing the decay of stone walls
and edifices under the action of the
weather. The surface is covered with
a coating of n suitable solution, and,
the water soon evaporating, n thin,
transparent glaze is left over the stone,
efrectually protecting it from the dis
intcgrating action Of the atmosphere.
Several public buildings in various
parts of the world have been success
fully treated in this way.

SNAKE L.....ii-G.
Fantastic Forms OF Worship on
SouthNcNt CCaaf of India.

Fantastic Forms q? Worship on
Southwest Coast of India.
Serpent worship and the Precipitation
Of snake divinitics, which once spread
all over Asia, still maintain tena-
cious hold on the little native states of
Cochin and Travancorc, on The south
west coast of India. Here HndooS
high and low revere the cobra as they
did thousand years ago, and it is con-
sldered heinous crime to injure the
reptile or neglect its interests
In the district of Travancore alone
there are between 1900 and 10000
shrineS dedicated exclusively to the
worship of snakes which possess ex-
tensive and valuable properties for
their maintenance and for the cost of
the ceremonies which the keepers have
to perforrei from time to time.
In these shrine5 the Hindoos set down
fantastic idols of sarpents on stone
base, and the shrine is protected by a
mud wall. Householders to assure their
welfare should make offerings of
dough, milk and cooked rice to the ser
pertine habitues of the shrine and
place lights and chant hymns in order
to be assured OF their favor.
Every morning tie king and queen Of
the serpents are blthed, and fruit and
milk are offered to them, to be followed
at noon by cooked rice and fried grain.
On certain days the idols in grove and
household temple are carried in pro-
ceSsion to the house, where propitia-
tary offerings are made. The presiding
functionary must be the eldest female
member of the family, who has to prac-
tice celibacy from the day she attains
the position.
At famous snake festivals at Travan-
core pious folk gather from all parts
to join in the worship bringing offer
ings of gold, silver, grain, pepper,
spices, oil, sandalwood, silk and other
things. The cost of the festivals is de-
frayed by the revenues of the paddy
fields and gardens attached to the
shrines. 1t is believed that unless the
ceremonies arc conducted with rever-
ence the largest cobras of the grove
will come out and show themselves to
the members of the house. The ma
tivcs also believe that snake bites in
the ncighborhood of these shrines new
er prove fatal. Be that as it may,
deaths from snake bites are very rare.
though many groves contain as many
as thirty cobras and the shrines in Ira
vancore number between fifteen and
twenty thousand.
The snakes of India are rarely ag-
grcssive, but generally keep to them
selves, and, being 50 kindly treated and
attended. it is not aston
ishing that they become d2cilc and
harmless. All over Travancore the peo-
pie when they see a snake approaching
say. THE god is coming" and make
way for the divinity. Children play
fearlessly about the groves while their
friends are gliding about or
basking in the sun and have never been
known to be harmed. When the groves
become overrun with serpents the sur
plus population is removed and sent to
other shrines, certain pious Brahmans
being especially applied to for this pur-
pose.-New York Herald.

Wonderful Indian Runners.

An Indian has been known to carry a
letter from GuaZapares to Chihuahua
and back again in five days, the dis
lance being nearly 500 miles. In some
parts where the Tarahumars serve the
MeXicans they are used to run in the
wild horses, driving them into the cor
raj. 1t may take them two or three
days to do it, sleeping ut night and liv-
ing on little pinole. They bring in
the horses thoroughly exhausted, while
they themselves are still fresh. They
will outrun any horse if you give them
time enough. They will pursue deer
in the snow or with dogs, in the rain,
for days and days, until at last the ami
NAL is corncrcd and shot with arrows
or falls an easy prey from sheer ex-
haustion, its hoofs dropping off.
