LABOR CONDITIONS

MARVELLOUS
CONTINUED from Page Sikh

in Germany are less favored than work
men in either England or America.
They have less leisure fewer amuse-
ments, and a smaller amount of money
to spend for entertainment or living
expenses, yet there enters into their
lives none of the degrade tiUn and mis-
cry seen in England. nor the wasteful-
ness and discomfort so common in
America.
On order TO show the extremely low
scale of living in Germany, a state
rnent was prepared by frugal. caIcu-
lating factory workman. Instead of
being an instance of exaggerated econ
omy. a selection was made that is con-
coded TO be a little above the income

fined to Sundays. As a rule they go in
for few games. Football. cricket and
baseball matches have little attraction
for them a case is cited where a final
game between rival clubs of two manu-
featuring towns was attended by only
So people. In England or America
such game would have brought out
an attendance of thousands Theaters
and music halls are less numerous in
proportion to the population than in
other countries. The theaters in in
dustrial towns are always owned and
operated by the municipalities. and
these places are visited by the work
ing classes to a limited extent only IN
Saturdays and Sundays. Contrary TO

ANOTHER CENT IS
RULED OFF THE
RiCECOURSE
Raced at Juarez Last Win
ter-TwO Former JuareZ
Racers Now Ruled
Off.

Another one Of the socalled gentle
men sports" who infested the Juarez
race track last winter has been caught
at his own game by his own clan, &C
cording TO the Mexican Daily Record
Of August H.
l. Blum, the diminutive horse owner
who sported a saffron hued diamond
shirt stud as big as a pewee egg and a
gold headed cane. likewise a horse
blanket overcoat and boiled hat, at the
Juerez races last winter, has been
ruled off the Mexican City race course
by the Jockey club Of Mexico
The charges brought against Blum
were that he sold a number Of brood
mares to one De IA Arena and another
Algara, Mexican horse owners, the
same brood mares not being the exact
ones specified in the stud book. The
ruling was made against Blum by the
stewards of the Jockey club and bars
him from entering any Of the races run
under the auspices of the Jockey club
of Mexico. which means that he can no
longer race in Mexico.
Withdrew From Juarez Course.
Blum suuealed on the crowd that was
conducting and participating in the rae
ing across the river last year. He
withdrew his string from the Juarez
course. and went back to Mexico City
discuested and broke. In an interview
which appeared in one Of the Mexico
CITY papers, Blum called spade
spade in referring to the way affairs
were being conducted at the Juarez
course. This got him in bad with the
powers that be al the Juarez track.
Conspicuous among the 'millionaires
and prominent racing men who partici-
pated in the opening Of the Juarez
course last winter, the fate of Messrs
Blum and Bedwen is a bright and
shining example Bedwen got ms at
I.atonia where he was ruled off the
course for all time to come because Of
some transactions, yet he was allowed
20 race at the JuareZ course all winter
and left here with the long end of the
money and praises galore for his
sportsrna nship. Brother Blum has like
wise got IN bad down Mexico City way
with some native sons of the manAna
land who are warm personal friends Of
Col. Matt Winn.

DRASTIC CHANGES
IN FOOTBALL
RULES
Game in Four PeriOds-Fly-
ing Tackle and Interior
ence Eliminated.

New York. n y Aug 1s.-Aftef
working nearly all summer. the foot
ball rules committee has made public
the rules that are to govern the game
during the season of 1910. Changes
adopted are revolutionary in character
and are calculated to minimize greatly
the danger of accidents existing under
the old rules. The time Of play is
divided into four, periods of Is minutes
each, instead Of two IS minute halves.
The usual intermission of Is minutes
is maintained between the second and
third period but an intermission OF
three minutes only is allowed between
the first and second and third and
fourth periods. During this short in
remission 10 player viii be allowed TO
leave the field nor will any one, save
the trainers, be permitted to come on
the field
At the beginning of the second and
fourth periods, the teams change goals,
but the down, the relative spot on the
down. TIE possession of the ball and
the distance 10 be gained remain as
they were at the conclusion OF the pre-
ceding period.
Flying Tackle Eliminated
eliminated by a new ruling that pro-
vides that a player must have at least
one foot on the ground when tackling.
This years rules provide that a play
CT is qualified TO receive a forward
pass only when he is at-least one yard
back OF his own line of scrimmage or
occupies the position on the end of the
line No man may make a forward
pass or kick the ball unless he IS five
yards back of the lire Of scrimmage..
The territory forward of the line OF
scrimmage and consequently in the
enemy's country is adjudged neutral for
a distance Of 90 yards pending the
completion OF a forward pass or kick. A
forward pass is not legal if the ball
crosses line 20 yards in advance Of the
spot where il was put in play before
touching the ground or a player.
In the case of kick, the players on
the defense within the 20 yard zone
must not interfere with the ends, or
other players until their opponents have
advanced 20 yards beyond the line OF
scrimmage-
Interference Work Gets Blow.
Interlocked interference. that is,
players lof the side having the ball TAX
ing hold OF each other. or using their
hands or arms to grasp their team
mates in any way. is forbidden. and. il
is also forbidden for any man on the
side having possession Of the ball TO
push or pull in the man running with
the ball
Another innovation is 20 be noted in
regard 10 the substitution OF PLAYERS
during a game A new rule provides
that a player who had been removed
for any cause except disqualification or
suspension may be returned to the
game once at the beginning OF any
subsequent period.
The longitudinal line formerly mark
ing the field area are done away with,
as the quarterback may now cross ths
line of scrimmage a any point

Schools IN Factories.

The Welfare institute is merely an
extension of the idea developed by the
factory dining room. This is a large
building. surrounded by attractive
grounds, which contains a large fes-
tival hall suited for all sorts of social
functions. committee meetings, or re-
heaTsalS of choral societies. One large
room is used as kindergarten and
handwOrk school Similar rooms are
devoted to giving manual training TO
boys and cooking lessons to girls
Under the same roof are modern
baths, the showers being free, and hot
baths costing only cents. There is
also a modern steam laundry which
does all the work for the family of
any working man for 10 cents a week
The Welfare institute originated with
the municipality, but the private firms
Of Germany are now beginning to sup
port il, and the liberal spirit it repre-
sents is destined to play an important
part in German industrial life.

FOR THE POULTRY RAISER.

Never allow the laying hens, or IN
fact any poultry, to stand around on
damp. cold floors. Straw, chaff. OF
leaves are cheap.
Some people say they have had
good success by feeding corn exclu
sively, but it is fact that hens can
not thrive on this feed alone many
months at time.
Red pepper and other stimulating
food may have temporary effect on
the laying efforts of a hen, but it Is
like giving whisky to a man. When
the effects wear OF they are in q
worse condition than before.
Always remember that skim-milk Is
hard to beat in the feeding ration.
Turkeys do better when not con
fined in close houses. An open shed
is very good place for turkeys to
roost, except in cold weather.

CARRYING GOSPEL TO MINERS
Pttsburg EvangeIists Have Novel Plan
for Religious Work In the Depths
of the Earth.

The carrying of the Gospel hundreds
of feet underground to miners toiling
in the darkness and gloom with their
picks and shovels is the latest scheme
of the Pittsburg evangelistic commit
tee.
This movement Is without precedent
IN the history of the religious world.
1t will be enthusiastically backed by
more than score of men prominent
in the business, financial and profess
sional walks of life of that city.
No mine in the Pittsburg district
Will be overlooked. 1t is expected to
have large enough band of workers
engaged to enable the committee to
take the Gospel down the various
shafts before long. 1t is expected to
nave the Gospel workers enter the
mines during the mining hours and
make their way through the various
passages, leaving pamphlets and cards
with the workers.
AL the noon hour an open air meet
ing will be held. Addresses will be
made to the miners in different
tongues by evangelists Of their OWE
