No matter what happens in Con-
stantinople, the star and crescent is
likely to remain the emblem of the
metropolis on the Bosporus to re-
mote futurity. II is not a Turkish
emblem. Constantine Annotated the
Turk at that spot by more than ele-
ven centuries. The emblem is older
than Constantine. Long before the
Roman Emperor set up his eastern
capital there and renamed the town
for himself the Byzantians were be-
sieged by a neighboring enemy who.
one night. tried to storm the place
under cover of darkness. As the
advanced a cloud rolled away, re-
vealing the conjunction of the planet
Venus with the new moon, which is
one of the most beautiful phenomena
of the nocturnal sky. The light ex-
posed the skulking invaders. the
walls were manned and the enemy
driven back. From that moment the
star and crescent became the emb-
lem of Byzantium. 1t couldn't have
a better one.-St. Louis Republic.

Smallpox, Prevalence in Country.

since even the slightest attacks Of
the disease-as light as to be hardly
noticeable-may form when the in
lection reaches some person not
well protected physically against IL.
In England there has been some
increasing laxity in local and central
administrative regulations. Not long
ago the postmaster general issued an
order excusing postal employees with
conscientious objections" from peri
odical vaccinations. though not ex-
cusing any one from original vaccin-
alton. This is being sharply criti-
cised, since. IL one has once been
vaccinated, revaccination within a
reasonable number of years can
hardly be ever injurious, or even I'M
comforfortable, while it is certain to
extend the duration of the original
protection, primarily to the vaccin-
ated individual, and secondarily to
the community.
Whatever else is done in the way
of protection against smallpox, the
continuance of periodic revaccination
should never be in doubt.-Chicago

How the Cubs Learned the Signals
Used by the Cincinnati Baseball.

The baseball expert. Hugh S. Full
erton contributes an article TO the
May American Magazine in which he
gives many instances illustrating the
fine points of the game. One OF
these is as follows:
During the progress OF a game
the manager. both on the field and
the bench, directs all the plays.
moves his men around. instructs
each batter what he is to attempt.
signals to coachers on what ball or
strike a base runner is to attempt
a steal or hit and run and fire.
quently he issues three or four
orders from the bench to one batter.
trying to 'outguess the other fellow
Each man on team has his pri-
vate signals with the batters who
precede or follow him. and the bat
ter, receiving orders from the man
ager, signals the base runner exactly
what to do. Last summer. while
the Chicago team was badly crippled
and changing batting order almost
every day, Sheckard reached first
one afternoon and Chance was fol-
lowing him. AS Chance came to
bat he was winging two bats. and
he tossed one back Of him with his
left hand On the first ball pitched
Sheckard attempted a stead and was
thrown out. What did you 20
down for?' demanded Chance later.
III thought l got the signal said
Checkard attempted steal and was
Well you tossed that bat away with
your left hand. and you usually
throw it with you right. so I thought
you'd made a new signal while was
out Of the game.
"Sheckard's blunder shows how
closely every movement OF a batter is
watched, not only by his fellow play
.ers but by his opponents. In ono
game last year Evers and Killing an
allied and discovered every hit and
run signal used by the Cincinnati
club merely by their powers OF OBJ
servation. Camel. then manager Of
the club, signaled entirely by words
and by close attention and listening
for every unnatural phrase or ex-
preston the Cubs secured the entire
code used by their opponents. and
knew as well as the Cincinnati play
ers what Camel was ordering"

With almost 10000 cases of
smallpox reported in the United
States in the first four months of
the year by the Federal marine hos
pital service, it certainly cannot be
said that smallpox as an epidemic
disease has been overcome. The
great change is that the disease is
no longer anything like what it once
was in violence. Most of the cases
are mild, and some are so slight that
the diagnosis is difficult. The ex-
ceptional cases of victims who have
never been vaccinated and who get
the disease in its worst form do not
serve to alarm a community. And
even fifty or hundred cases of the
mild form in one of the smaller
cities, no uncommon thing today, do
not produce the panic that would
certainly result IL the cases were 50
severe as formerly.
Illinois is unfortunately the worst,
state in the Union for this disease.
While Chicago, owing to the steady
watchfulness of the health authori-
ties. is almost exempt, having had
only eleven cases in four months, the
state as a whole has had 1875 cases
or more than one-eighth of the total
for the country. Under such condi-
tions one may well regret that the
legislature did not see At to pass the
bill for giving better protection by
vaccination. This is especially true

Rain made the race track slow
yesterday afternoon. especially for
the last heats of the races. Consider
ing the condition of the track, good
time was made by the horses. Be
fore the races began a slight rain fell
and many spectators were kept away
from the park. However, the weather
cleared and the first heats were run
under clear sky, but before the
close a heavy rain fell. which made
the track sloppy. No accidents marred
the day, and the horses were in good
shape after the races.
The summary of the races as they
finished Tuesday is as follows:
First race, $3.50 pace, three in five.
