Neither White Sox Nor
Red Sox Will Strike

BOSTON, May 1S.--While news of the
strike of the Detroit team and their
signed agreement to sustain Ty Cobb
caused a big stir among the members
of both Chicago and Boston teams,
neither the White Sox nor the Red SoX
players will follow the Tigers lead.
Capt Harry Lord of the Chicago club
declared today that both teams will be
on deck for their scheduled clash this
afternoon.
Captain Wagner of the Rcd SoX said:
There has been no talk of any strike
in the Boston team and you can make
up your mind that there will be none
for the present New York is good
way from Boston and none of the play
ers on the club know what really hap
pened there.
I'VE sympathize with Ty Cobb and
feel that he must have had plenty of
cause for going after that spectator In
New York"
Captain Lord of the White Sox said
There will be no strike among the
Chicago players. I am reasonably GER
tain OF that. The men have all read
about Ty Cobb's action and the signed
| statement of the Detroit club. but we
! have troubles of our own and do not
| intend to make trouble for the clUl
owners on anybody's say So"

Clark Defends Cobb for
Resenting Fans Remark

PITTSBURGH, May 1S.-Fred Clark,
manager of the Pirates, defends Ty
Cobb for his action in resenting insult
by a New York fan and declares that
the Detroit star should never have been
suspended without an investigation into
the merits of the case.
Clark said today: "A ball player has
home, loved ones, and feelings that are
sacred, just as we'll as any other man.
Cobb did only what any self-respecting
man would do. Would Ban Johnson
allow such insults to go unnoticed?
Nobody on the outside realizes the
terrible things that Hans Wagner has
endured in his time. They always pick
on the stars. Wagner would resent an
insult from Jim Jeffries. but on the ball
field he has displayed great patience and
always seemed TO consider the source.
THE whole thing is a bad mess, l
admit 1t Is three-cornered affair
with the American League and its dis
cipline on one side. the public on the
other, and the ball player and the
feeling he holds sacred on the other.
] don't know anything about this strike
by the Dertoit. but / do know that Ban
Johnson or no one else has the right
to punish or suspend Cobb without first
investigating the matter

Rain Becomes Serious
Drawback to Many Of
The Minor Leagues

Many minor leagues, suffering from
too much rain, are on the ragged
edges of complete and utter an
nihilation. Not in years has
baseball been compelled to con-
tend against such inclement con-
ditions, as it has this spring. The
big league clubs are all losing
money, but their treasures are
better able to stand the losses
than are those of the smaller fell
lows. Memorial Day will see the

Wonan's Beauty.

Dubuque Telegraph Herald: SO
eminent an expert as Dr.. Dudley A.
Sargent, Haryard's instructor in ply
{ ical culture, announces that there is
nothing like housework to make
Noman's form beautiful. The doctor
supports his statement with the con-
clusions of long and painstaking in
vestlgation.
Old fashioned folk will agree with
the doctor. They see as the cause
for the elderly state of health en-
Joyed by elderly mothers the work
they did at home. These mothers
knew nothing of the servant prob
lem-they were their own servants.
They were tired after days sweep
ing, but they slept we'll and ate
heartily. They were tired after a
days ironing, but again they slept
well and ate heartily; they come
meals and wash the dishes, but they
got their satisfaction out OF the relish
for their cooking manifested by
those who ate it. The children OF
these mothers did not grow up dys-
peptic-their foods were coarse, and
coarse foods do not produce dyspep-
sia.
The sickly daughter of the healthy
mother Is the girl who substitutes
the novel or chewing gum for the
broom and the dish rag. Her sick
ness frequently is due to lazineSs.
What she needs is to put her back
into broom and her hands into soap
suds. Instead of motoring she needs
work in the garden that will produce
vegetables and make fewer the calls
on fathers purse. These are the
thoughts in DR.. Sargent's mind and
they are so homely as to suggest that
after all there is common sense In
the heads OF some university profes-
sors
Tie girl who would be healthy had
better do physical work to keep Wig
orous the organs of her body and
Keep the blood circulating. Good
circulation means a ruddy complex
ion and such complexion is beauti-
tul. She can not only be rid of cos
metics, but she can be rid OF the SER

Trees on Country Roads,

The time has passed when q tree
was considered a nuisance, and the
tree planter is coming INTO the land
Thus We read with interest OF the
work that is being planned in the eas-
tern states of the reforesting of
Pixies Peak. and of the work that is
being done at Butte, Mont. and of
lie great things that the foresters
are doing and planning wherever
they nave been put at work.
Iowa has no forestry department
or service and she has no forests.
Perhaps it would be a great thing TO
have q dozen or more public forests
scattered about in the state, where
the animals would be left undisturb-
ed and where the people might go
for rest and recreation, as they now
go to the national parks, and where
the neighboring counties conld Incl
dentally get some ideas as to tree
planting and forest culture. We may
get these things some day.
In the mean time the suggestion
is made that the roadsides of Iowa
! e planted with fine trees, with Il ees
that are worth while; with trees that
will eventually represent a large
amount of money, and that can be
made 10 yield handsome income TO
the communities. There has been an
exception to trees along highways
in some parts of Iowa, and that was
because they shade the road.and Keep
It from dying out But the new the
DRY is to build the road so, and to
keep it so, that it will shed water.
and therefore will always be in good
condition. With properly built roads
the trees on both sides would be a de-
cided advantage The proposition
that the width of roads i'll Iowa be
reduced having found no favor: there
may be better luck for the other
proposition, that the unused portion
OF Iowa ROADS be used to some prac-
yical purpose And what more prac-
tical purpose could be suggested tha
that of planting trees that will af-
ford shade for the people using the
roads and will eventually mean a not
inconsiderable source of revenue for
the respective communities.
The suggestion ought 70 command
itself to all friends of progress. And
ii will require no great expenditure
Of time or money 10 secure ana plant
the trees.

tistic Temperament of

The design of the five cent piece
which has been jngling in the poe
kets OF American citizens for many
years does not coincide with the

art, end it will be changed in its en-
tirety. Secretary MacVeash has de-
cided to replace the Goddess of Lib

a buffalo. The reverse side OF the
new coin will contain the head of an
Indian.
