In 1910 he came to bat with Cupid in the box and made the home run of his life, and now the two have home of their own in Clifton Heights, a sub- urb of Philadelphia, with pianola in the parlor and honest-to-goodness chickens in the back yard. He never grows tired Of talking about his pian- ola and his chickens, and to him the sweetest music ill the world is a duet between pianola and a bullet, with his wife putting the silyerware on in the dining room.
 He can sit back in his bay window with his feet on the window sill and by the cacl1le tell which one of his hens has laid an egg and which one. is up.
 He never smokes and never got a
 larruping in his life for sneaking out l behind the millet stack with the rest l of the gang and smoking a grapevine 1 until it turned him so far inside out | that he had to hold his epiglottis in | with his thumb. He thinks that the lildu WuO u0So lAS VIC NtSu IS oUluS5
 to that region where war is one con l tinuous program from II 8. nl. till Il p. .n1., children in arms not admitted;
 but he himself is wild about chocolate
 ice cream. believing that the other
 place in the skies is a magnifcently
 fitted up drug store where the seats
 at the soda fountain are upholstered, | and where a chorus of angels play
 golden harps while pages in short
 trousers flap up on their golden wings
 bearing straws with corl- tips, urging
 you in silvery tones to have another
 The ambition of his life is to write
 a book-a real book with his name on
 the cover-and he says the one su-
 preme blissful moment of his exist
 ence would be to lay his book on the
 center table, turn,on the pianola, and
 then have one of his Plymouth Rocks
 walk up on the porch and crow while
 his own private ticker inside rattled
 off the baseball score.

By HOMER CROY.

In a big leather backed Bible rest ing squarely in the middle of the par Tor table close up beside Paradise Lost and "The Life and Deeds of Davy Crockett" at Tarrytown, N. r., where he was born, you can find the rooly treally name of Eddie Collins Edward Trowbridge Collins. All that, just as if it was being called out by the president of the board of educa- tion-wl1o is also. proprietor of the Elite Feed Store and the Bon Ton Coal Yard--on' graduation day at the high school; Seats reserved for fa- thers and mothers--1oWers should be sent to the Sunday school room. . The man at the halfway house of the Philadelphia Athletics began be ing: called a phenon eo5 early in life that every night before he,went to bed be spent half an hour greasing| his down with cold, cream, and every time be found a hair on his upper lip he would turn three complete somer- saults in the hotel bedroom and jump up and bump his head against the ceiling until the feeble old lady on the fcor above had to telephone for an other bottle of smelling salts.
 He is still one of the youngest of the big league stars; his manager never lets him go out on the street alone at night after nine o'clock, and when the team is out on tour the rest of the boys have to wash his hands and tic on his night cap.
 He entered Columbia as a student, but graduated as baseball player, giving up his time between baseball, football, basket ball, handball, water polo, tennis and track to an earnest study of Blackstone. Laying aside his quarter cover buckram for a full cover horsehide he took up baseball for good at salary so comfortable that in stepping on penny weighing ma chine as a friend was getting off he didn't care if the thing went back bang! and locked-he had that much money.

PREVENTION WORK
Inspection of Little Rock Completed and Recommendations Made
 Covering Detects.

The Arkansas Fife revention htsso- ciation has completed it's survey of the fire hazard ill Little Rock. and made it's final report. In two weeks, 1,500 buildings, large and small were inspected and of this number S0t were found below the standard, indi- cative of conditions that should not exist to render them reasonably safe from fires. At legst one-tWentieth of the buildings examined contained faulty rubber hose connections for gas appliances. which is severely con ,demned by the association. Over d hundred instances were discovered where there is all abnormal hazard 9ale to unsafe Handling of gasoline and oils. Tie defec.s in detail are as follows:
 Crowded condition, s; defective con- stluction, 92; defective flues, 51; de- fectiye wiring, D; defective heating apparatus, IT; unsafe handling of ashes, 20. unsafe handling of eXplo- sives, 1; unsafe handling of gasoline and oils, S4; unsafe handling of oily waste, 14: rubber hose connection 10 gas appliances, 12S; rubbish, 267;; wooden cuspidors, s; total, S04.
 The report says. 'It will be noticed that a very large part of these critl- cisms is from causes very easily pre- ventible-such ns aecumulation 1f rubbish, oily waste, unsafe handling of ashes, oils, gasoline and eNplo- sives, and rubber hose connections i'll gas appliances.
