If scientists would set themselves
to solve the psychology of baseball
they would find the cure for all mental
and physical ills. If men would take
their enemies to ball game they
would turn hatred into undying affec-

solution would move upon the ball

Animals Which Destroy Crops.
New York American: African farm

tivity of sportsmen who come into
their territory and kill off the lions.
There was time. not long ago, when
it was believed to be a great thing
to have this king of beasts killed off,
and the natives rejoiced, even as they
do today in many sections of Africa,
but the intelligent farmer has learned
to his cost that the untamed lion of
the jungle is really great help to
him.
The lion is beast of prey. It is a
hearty eater, and gets it's entire liv.

forests, jungles and plains. These
beasts include antelopes in a great

VALUE WORLDS DIAMONDS.
They Weigh % Tons and Are Worth
Nearly $1,000, 900, 900.

Diamonds of the weight of 28 2-5
tons, which would fill space of 1917
cubic yards and have value of near
ly 81 900, 100000, have been taken
from the earth from the earliest time
to the present day, according to the
estimate just made by M. de Launay
the well-knOwn metallurgist.
These figures, however, only con
cern the stones before cutting, which
reduces their weight volume by half
but multiplies their value by five. A
box three feet high, six wide and
eight long would thus hold the total

market value of $4,70O, 100000, accord
ing to present prices.
OF this quantity, according to M.
de Launay, 10000,000 carats of the
value of $85,00O,O0O have been con-
tributed by India, the source of all
diamonds from ancient times up to
the eighteenth century, and 12,O0O,00O
carats of the value of 100000, 900 by
Brazil between 1923 and 1910. These
fields are now, however, practically
exhausted, and gems representing
142, 100000 carats of the value of $780,
100000 would come from South Africa,
which is now almost the sole source
of the worlds supply.

South Wales, the annual output of

REPRESENTATIVE TOM STOUT
INTRODUCES IMPORTANT
MEASURE.

Washington, May 29.-Tom Stout
congressman of Montana, has INTRO

nassed will result in the commission
er general of immigration securing In
formation regarding resources anc
products of every state in the union
for distribution to aliens entering TINS
country. Under the present laws, the
census department obtains this lnfor
nation and as real estate values gain
cred by the census bureau are based
upon assessed valuations, much con
fusion exists when prospective set
tiers from the old world negotiate fol
lands. The commissioner of imml
grafton, if the bill passes, will be EN-
powered to secure real values OF
lands and data regarding products
thus furnishing the alien with ac
curate information.

The bill provides for an appropria
ton of 100000 to enable the com

bill is to bring about wider distri

MY DEAR ELEANOR:

MY DEAR ELEANOR:
So you are not feeling we'll? |
notice you speak often of this in
writing me, and you go on to say
that you "have been to see the
DOCTOR" You may really some
times need a pill, but, dear girl,
stop this habit of running to the
doctor. Your mother used to
call in the physician often be-
cause you urged it, but IL your
father could pay for this that
was his affair. l am tempted to
emphasize the foolishness of run
ming to a doctor, since it is sell
dom recognized as blamable
thing. Yet it is a serious drain
on family income. 1t is bad
enough for a husband to have to
pay medicine bills when occasion
requires it.

wife to an evening gathering in

from heartless; he simply cannot
afford it. He argues to himself
that the last bill should be paid
before another is made.
There are many women who
regard it as an added bit of So
cial prestige-this running con-
tinually to see a doctor. AS a
rule, this is done out of town to
further increase personal import
ance. / can think of one family

to the doctor, and an outside doc
tor at that, on behalf of one or
another of the children.
With modern short cuts to
cooking and time, as well as step
saving equipment, the average
wife can dispense with other aid
than her own strength. There
fore, her work ought to keep her
well. Except for the heavy part,
this economy is almost necessary
for a young couple, no matter
how each may separately have
shown off before at fathers ex-
pense. A contented mind and
sufficient exercise can help keep a
wife well, if she does not begin
as an invalid-which you GER
tainly are not.
If you cannot make yourself
prominent without going to a
doctors, then remain in obscur-
ity. But l am sure, dear, that
you are far too sensible to need
this advice. As for house-keep-
ing, you know what is required of
you, anyway. Yours lovingly,
