New York is experimenting with
separate trolley cars for women dur

becoming conscience smitten. It's

10000 persons attending the open
ing game of base ball at the Ameri

base ball business. The national
game surely is the greatest ever.
1t is believed in the South that
paper can be successfully manufac-
tured from cotton stalks A Georgia
city has given the land on which to
erect a mill for this purpose, and
more than hundred other towns
III the cotton belt are considering
the establishment of similar mills.
This will mark the beginning of
new industry in the South, and if it
proves successful, will greatly relieve
the present grave concern over the
worlds future supply of paper ma
terial. The manufacture of paper
from cornstaIks never has proven a
huge success, and the cotton stalk
may be no improvement; but it is
earnestly hoped that satisfactory
substitute for wood pulp may be
found soon.

There Is no truth in the sug-

that the management OF the Big

Saturday when they called the
game against the California team at
the end of the seventh innings
Thus said Charlie Falk to bunch

las a matter of fact, I wanted
the game called at the end OF the
nth inning. as It was getting late
and there was big game to be
played. ,
Anyone who was down on the
benches knows what said about
ending the game at the ffth inning.
and anyone could see that the Rams
were not taking the game very serl-
ously." .iai
Mr.. Falk's statement that the
game was supposed to end at the
NTH, owing to the late start, Is n
fact. rs he was heard to say 80
when that inning started.
