Joe Lake, who did exceptionally well
yesterday, as he did in the last game in

LEAGUES TURN TO
INTERCITY GAMES
Details of Post-Season Contests to Be Dealt With By
Amateur Commission Monday Night-Cleveand
Project Viewed With Favor.

All details Of the post-season and in
tercity games are expected to be fully
dealt with by the amateur commission
at its meeting called for Monday night
at Spalding's store. President Young Is
more than anxious to have every men,
Der of the commission on hand to deal
with the problems. 81.
1t is expected that the Richmond Of
hcials will come to Washington short
ly to take UP their side of the inter-
city problem, and to make arrange
ments to have their winning team
come here. Other problems of the
post-season series to determine the
champion of the District will be taken
up by the members of the commission.
The date for the post-season games
will be settled In all likelihood with the
date for the intercity games which is
slated shortly after Labor Day. The
question of playing the amateur teams
In their different classes will probably
also be gone over by members of the
commission.
The amateurs are warming up to the
proposition Of playing the Cleveland
champions after the regular series of
scheduled games. President Robert H.
Young likes the idea. 1T would be a
great thing" said President Young,
'and would do a whole lot for the
amateurs here. OF course we would
not play picked team from Cleveland,
but would meet a team which had
played together all season just as our
pennant winner has. The matter rests
with Manager Griffith, however. and
we cannot do anything until we hear
from him."
Secretary Sands, of the Sunday School
League, has announced the following
standing of the teams in that circuit,
which is correct and official to date:

Wall Streets Cheap Money

Business men who borrow at the
banks in the Pacific States pay on
the average % per cent more for
money than do business men in the
Eastern States, according to the
reports fled at Washington by 5000
national banks. When we compare
the rates paid by farmers, merchants
and manufacturers in this section
of the United States with those paid
by spectators in Wall Street the
difference is even mora marked. In
terest rates on the New York Stock
Exchange are often as low as %
per cent when men engaged in pro-
ductive industries in the Pacific
States are paying from per cent
to 10 per cent for bank funds with
which to carry on business. 1t Ger.
tainly is a badly organized banking
system that causes such wide varia.
tions in interest rates in different
sections of the country. Thii
country ought to have a banking
system that would make it as easy
for the solvent borrower to ge
cheap money on sound security il
the Pacific States as it is in Wal
street. 1t is up to Congress to Civ,
US banking system as good as an.

Milford Boy Scouts 7 AXE Long Tramp
The Boy Scouts of Milford took
another long tramp last Saturday.
Assembling at a chosen spot early
in the morning they elected their
patrol leader for the day and pro-
ceeded to the Tub Mill. There they
pitched the camp for the day and
drew maps of the surrounding
country. At noon Col. Townsend
and Major Marshal of the Organized
Militia, visited them and gave them
instructions as to how to prepare
their meals. After tho noon hour
the boys again took up the march
and went home by way of the new
wharf into town. They now number
about thirty members and are
steadily increasing in both numbers
and efficiency. At the regular
meeting of the Boy Scouts of Mil.
ford held recently an election was
held which resulted in the following
selections 1st Patrol = Leader,
Richard Truitt; Corporal, Willis
Hammond. End Patrol-Leader,
Watson Pierce; Corporal, George
Sipple. 3rd Patrol-Leader, Harold
Grier; Corporal, James Deputy.
The boys are now almost completely
equipped for field service and are
hard at work mastering the rudi-
ments of scouting which includes
first aid, life saving. tracking, sig
mailing, cycling, nature study, sea-
menship, campcraft woodcraft, chiv-
airy, patriotism and other subj jects.
These subjects are taught in games
and team play which the boys hold
to be great pleasure and not work.

There are human beings, such as in

Men and Women in Worlc.

The total population of the world is
now estimated at 1,700,000,000. This
is based upon the most recent CENSUS,
which all civilized countries now take,
with a careful estimate of the number
of inhabitants of uncivilized lands.
The proportion Of the sexes is known
for ,o3S, 900, goo of these, the ratio be-
ing 1000 males to 900 females. The
ratio varies considerably in different
places In Europe there are 1000 men
to 1927 women: in Africa, LOCO men
to 1,045 women; in America, LOCO men
to 964 women. in Asia 1000 men to
961 women; ia Australia, 1000 men to
937 women.
The highest proportion of women is
found in Uganda. where there are l.

proportion is in Alaska and the Malay
states, where there are. in the former.

Moslem Women in Future Life.

Are women admitted to paradise -
is a question that is often answered
in the negative We find, however,
more than one passage in the Koran
that distinctly speaks Of a future life
in paradise for women. The most
often quoted Is the one promising the
faithful that he will meet in paradise
besides his own earthly wives seventy
two houris-not an attractive pros
pect for the poor women, who have
suffered enough in this life from the
humiliations of polygamy! But in
the fourth Sura we find the following
more definite statement: But whose
doeth good works, whether he be
male or female, and is a true believ.
er, they shall be admitted into para
disc, and shall not in the least be
unjustly dealt with Life in the
Moslem East, by Pierre Ponafdine.
