Today the baseball spirit in Birmingham Is better than in several seasons.
 The team is playing good ball. and the fellows having been encouraged as a re- suit of their own efforts, are determined to go higher
 The fans are behind the team for the first time in many months.
 Many who were prejudiced. or who sknoekede for personal reasons and mo- tlves. have quieted down.
 And everything is peaceful and running smoothly.
 There is to be but one more change in the lineup of the Birmingham Barons
 Robinson is coming home, and this will cause the letting out of one twirler
 Manager Molesworth has not made the announcement of the name to be dec orated, but he has said that Robinson is certain of a berth.
 The club numbers 15 at the present time, and when the Alabamian returns. someone must go. That someone" it is known, will walk from the ranks of the twirlers
 But no other changes are calculated.
 Four of the present staff of five will be carried throughout the season unless H. ness occurs, or some lucky stroke where by most valuable twirler is landed is made.
 This means that Kane and Raub will do the catching. that the infield will be composed of Gygli, Bowen, Ellam and Raftis, and that Henline, Molesworth and McGilvray will continue to run down flies in the gardens. And Larsen will continue his service as commander-in-chief of the utility brigade.
 And inasmuch as but one more change is to be made it will be fortunate when that move occurs. Then every man will feel the ground steady beneath him, and there will be none of that speculation and uncertainty which causes nerves to jingle and often fail.
 In spite of much adverse criticism. Manager Molesworth doesn't believe his pitchers are weak.

 There is no getting away from the fact that the Barons are playing the game for all it's worth.
 Rohe and Reagan had a nose finish from being doubled up by Fleharty, Ellam and Gygli in the opening round, when Rohe tried to sacrifice Steve.

 We wondered after the game was over neither or not all the "O's" on our score card opposite the Birds were really eggs.
 Lindsay drove a wicked liner to Raftis in the second round. Bill mere ly stuck out the digit and copped the sphere.
 We are informed that Manager Frank has announced that unless the Birds show some hitting this afternoon there will be some sliding" Where; first, second or third?
 McGilvrays bat slipped almost to third base when he attempted to blind the throw of Matth ews to Demont to catch Ellam pilfering second base in round No. ?.
 Gygli gave an exhibition of an aero bat in jumping over Bowen's grounder that went by third base in the last round Gygli jumped clear of it three times.
 It would be brilliant idea for the management to have a lefthand hitter lay a few hundred down every morning in order that the bunts would be fielded perfectly.

Bic. Dishes for Hot Weather.

With one-third OF the human race
depending upon rice as their staple
food supply and doing excellently well
on that healthful grain, 1t behooves
the American housewife who wishes
to keep her family in good condition
during the hot weather to follow the
example OF the people living in hot
countries. Rice, unlike most other
grains, can be served hot or cold, as a
vegetable or a dessert When it is to
appear as vegetable or curry. it
should be cooked in plenty Of rapidly
boiling water so that each grain
stands out distinct from the rest It
should be stirred with fork. not a
spoon, while cooking. When done turn
into colander to drain, saving all the
water for use in soup stock. then
shake well. Return to the back of the
stove or the oven to steam. but do not
cover. When used for puddings or
desserts where II is not necessary to
preserve the form OF the grain, It can
be slowly cooked in the double boiler
or baked in the oven.

The Huslnss. Of Earminn.

We are just awakening to the fact
that the value of farm land is rap
idly increasing in America. Ever since
the discovery OF the continent there
have been vast tracts Of unoccupied
land subject to free settlement until
now. We have at last filed up the
continent and all the land worth till
ing is under ownership. We are doing
much by irrigation TO reclaim the arid
lands, but these are rapidly filed up
as soon as they are made tiIlable
Relieved Of the pressure OF vacant
lands. there can be no doubt that the
value of farms will continue to rise
and the value Of farm products will
rise with them. The present depres-
sion in the commercial and industrial
world has caused no drop in the price
of farm products, no particular de-
crease in the cost Of living; indeed, 1t
has increased, IL measured by wages.

THE MEMORY or a BUSY MAN.
How Husband Forgot Dinner Engage
ment and Gave False Excuse.

Dinner had been ready and waiting
20 minutes. The wife of the tardy
guest was very much embarrassed.

rude as to be late at dinner engage
ment and keep all the guests wait
ingl After while the belated one
arrived, redfaced and perspiring.

said. But was detained at the Of
flee with an out-of-town customer. Just
couldn't get away"
The excuse sounded all right and
was accepted by the hostess, but it
was a myth.
The truth was: Preoccupied he had
gone home from the office at the
usual time and found the house locked,
much to his surprise. pWhere in the
mischief were his wife and children?
he wondered. Why didn't they tell
him they were going away?
He went all around the house and
tried the doors, but they were locked
Then he found a piece Of iron in the
backyard and broke open a window
and crowded in.
He crowded out through the win
dow for the evening paper and crowd
ed back. He read the paper, and still
the wife and children didn't return.
At 6:03 o'clock he remembered the
dinner engagement While he dressed
and rode 20 blocks the guests waited.

Women Of Ideal Form.

There is no longer perfect type of
woman, such as the Greeks admired.
There is the ideal short woman and
the ideal tall woman, but they are
very different. Artists say that the
short woman should measure as fol
lows: Height, feet inches;
neck 121z inches; bust, 36 inches;
waist. 21 inches; hips. 81 inches;
round the largest part of the forearm,
below the elbow, II inches, which
should gradually taper to six inches
around the wrist Here are the pro
portions OF the correct tall woman:
Height, feet Sh inches; bust, S6

inches; top OF arm. IA inches; wrist,
6 inches: thigh, 22 inches; calf, IA

VIRGINIA ALWAYS GREAT STATE


By the census Of 1880 Virginia con
tanned a population approximating
750 600. or more than one-ffth Of all
the people then in the United States
about one-third of this number being
negroes, Of whom 10000 were free.
Comparing the returns with the pres
ent population of the commonwealth
e, 100000, the hasty conclusion is
drawn that the increase has been ex-
ceptionally slow; but this view loses
sight of the fact that in 1870 the tig-
ures embraced all the persons living
in the territory now covered by west
Virginia and Kentucky; and 1t should
be taken into account that the Old
Dominion contributed largely to the
settlement Of Illinois and Missouri,
and Alabama, Tennessee and Florida
as we'll. Even among the pioneers OF
Iowa. California and Minnesota many
names can be found whose bearers
were first Americanized in the settle
ments on the banks of the James and
Potomac rivers. Had Virginia retained
her original geographical proportions
she would rank easily as first in the
family of states. Generously prolific
of offshoots from the parent STEM
there still remains a goodly crop OF
sons and daughters under the ancient
roof tree, amid the diminished acres
of her original domain. In 1860 large
" more than one-half of the senators
and representatives in congress were
of Virginia birth, or were the sons or
grandsons Of men to her manor born.
