The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1909-04-13

The members of the first team are
all talking OF the fine work Of George
Speer, az exemplified in the final
game OF the trip, played yesterday at
Columbus. The Kansas left-handef
pitched six innings kept the Column
bus gang shut out with hardly scor-
ing chance, allowed but three hits to
the % men who faced him and gave
hut two bases on Tails. His perform
nnce goes far toward proving the
truth OF a remark which he made to
the writer in the south.
Il know I've been rotten this
spring." said he. "For some reason
haven't been able to get the ball over
the plate. I'm sure Mr.. Jennings Is
going to give me a good chance
though, and I'm not going TO try much
speed or curse until get chance TO
put them where | want to-"
The successor to Edgar Willett In
Wichita affections must be given
credit for following out his program,
regardless of the narrowing up II
must have given his feelings, knowing
as he did that he was making an un-
favorable impression on the manager
by his failure to show the stun for
which he had been touted.
The Columbus club has undoubted-
~ az much strength az any team the
Tigers have faced, aside from Wash
ington and st. Louis, and Speer's
work must be given due credit. Per.
haps the Tigers hav a southpaw az
ter all. II Speer can fool the batters

GREAT RECORD MAKERS.

The eoastEuard Of this country-the
life savers and property savers who
patrol our bleak coasts IN the worst
OF weather, and display a heroism
which 10 not excellsd by any other
class OF men, always show a balance
on the right side Of the ledger bal
ance excessively favorable to them.
The report of 1908 just issued shows
that OF 1894 vessels wrecked in Amer
lean waters ffty-six were total loss.
The entire property value at stake was
$13,5so,s25. The life saving service
snatched back from the waves s11,-
666,lsB.
On board the imperiled vessels were
5,713 human beings. At the usual val
uation Of an average OF $4,000, the life
savers, who rescued all but twenty
two Of these people, preserved to the
nation human energy worth S22, 100000
A total Of S34, 426,435 return from an
expense OF s1.s62,5249O. the entire
outlay of the department.
This is an important and a proflta-
BILE service and deserves to be placed
upon the plane Of every other heroic
service. Men who lose their lives IN
this service are as deserving Of pen
sions as those who sacrifice their lives
In defense Of the flag.

FoRBEARANcE CEASES TO BE A
VIRTUE.

The selectmen of the town Of Ber-
lin in this state do NOT propose to
have their good roads torn up by bad
automobile drivers, and having been
annoyed by many transgressions Of
the law they have issued the follow
ing notice to all who travel that way:
The taxpayer Of the town of Ber
lin in the last few years have expend-
ed large amounts of money to improve
our highways. We desire that the en-
tire public shall have the benefit Of
these improved highways. Some auto
mobilists. however, are using these
highways at a speed which trans
crosses the law and jeopardizes the
life and property of our citizens We
believe the majority of automobilists
appreciate good roads and are desir-
Gus of observing the laws relating to
speed. We do not wish to take active
measures against automOhilsts, but
unless they use more discretion and
cease to travel at the high rate of
speed on the roads Of the town Of
Berlin we shall enforce the state law
and do it rlgidly.
1--WE have no desire to antagonize
automobiles, but rather desire to
work with them, but unless they show
a disposition to cooperate ana cease
to abuse their privileges, we shall rig
idly enforce the law"
It is not likely that the town Of Ber-
lin is alone in her trials from this
source, or the only one in which the
resolution to put a stop to it is taking
form. The example Of the selectmen
OF Berlin is very likely to be followed
by others.

A MEMORIAL TREE.

The G. A. r. veterans planted an
oak on the green at New Haven a few
days ago, and making It commemora-
tive Of the one hundredth anniversary
Of the birthday Of Abraham Lincoln,
gave it the name of the centennial
oak" Good old Admiral Foote used
the spade. and did pretty bit of talk
ing, presenting the tree to the city,
and making some very pleasant obser-
vations on the lessons which are to
be drawn from trees, statesmen, and
the new ways OF politics. The fitness
of planting an oak instead of any other
tree is all for the right. and worth
making note upon. The historic elms
Of New Haven have had to be petted
and taken under the protecting wings
ever since the festive elm beetle be-
gan to make merry mischief. and with
the best Of care the old trees have suf-
fered sadly. The oak is a tree of slow
growth, but It can laugh at the elm
beetles and all other insects that take
delight in Riding trees of their foil
age And, what is more, the oak is
good for century, and perhaps long

WEDDING LISTS.

A sensible plan that some Easter
brides-elect are adopting this year is
that Of wedding list. This is made
out like the Christmas list of things
needed. which has proved such a boon
TO the would-be gift givers.
Necessaries of all kinds are written
in catalogue form SO that each we'll
wisher can suit his or her privy purse.
The bride also states the pattern Of
the silver. whether bureau or table,
which she is collecting, in order to
have 1t uniform, and just what pieces
are wanting to the set.
An aunt or some intimate friend
usually takes charge Of the list to
avoid embarrassment to the bride, ard
as each person decides on a gift this
is struck off the catalogue.
Duplicates and gifts which would
prove useless are thus avoided
Some brides who prefer the greater
simplicity OF a wedding without pres
ents and the freedom from future OBJ
legations they entail now have q little
request to the effect that FRIENDS are
asked kindly to refrain from sending
wedding gifts" engraved in one cor
ner of the Invitations

FOR THE BATH.

One athletic young woman INDUCES
frequently in what she calls her
home made Turkish bath" It is a
fact, as she says, that one cannot al
ways cleanse the skin thoroughly with
only soap and water and a compare
lively smooth cloth. A cold-cream bath
on the face will prove that. Therefore
she takes a small scrub brush, OF the
sort sometimes sold in drug stores
for nail brushes, and first wetting the
body with a sponge and hot water,
scrubs the whole surface of the skin
with the brush and a thick soap lath-
err. This goes down into the pores and
cleanses them, carries off more old skin
and particles of dust than the ordl-
nary wash cloth, and stimulates tne
circulation. The soap is next thor
oughly rinsed off with hot water, and
the bath followed by a cold shower
and a brisk rub. For the not too Wig
orous person. a slight rest adds TO
the beneficial effect, but. whether with
or without the concluding soap, the
treatment will be found both refresh
ing and invigorating.

knows the police, but does not care to

at a policeman and quench his thirst

blind, but because it was designed to
blind other people.

NOT Wholly AT THEIR MERCY.

Independence is something American

as an ice man.

the faucet for half a minute before
