SWALLOW HAD LONG JOURNEY
Positive Proof That Bird Travelled the
Distance From England to South
Africa.

The capture of a swallow bearing
an aluminium ring in Natal South
Africa, the other day, has resulted in
an astonishing insight into the migra-
tory habits of birds. From a number
and address stamped on the ring 1t
was discovered that the swallow was
one of II, 4S3 British birds marked in
a similar way last summer by enthu-
siasts, desiring to learn more as to the
routes taken by bird migrants, and
whether birds return again to their
previous nesting sites. This systema-
tic marking of birds began in 1909,
since when nearly $4,000 have been
hinged" About three per cent are
afterwards noted, but the swallow re-
ported from Natal appears to have
made the longest flight so far. A
black-headed gull ringed as a nesting
in Yorkshire in July, 1911, was found
in February, 1912, in Flores, Azores
A starting ringed in Berkshire in jan
uary, 1912, reached Helsingfor, Fin
land, in April. A teal ringed in Stat
fordshire in the autumn of 1910, was
found at Dalarne, Sweden, July, 1911.

Universal Hero,

For America, at least, there is the
one universal hero. No one questions
his greatness. None names him but
to praise.
Who Is this universal hero?
Is 1t Napoleon? Many condemn
him. as Ingersoll did. as the "imperi-
al personification of force and muir
der" No 1t is not Napoleon.
Washington, then? Wendell Phil
lips said: But the great Virginian
held slaves" So even Washington
had his detractors.
Lincoln? Perhaps later on; but not
yet.
Well, who is this universal hero Of
America?
John Hampden, of course. He OBJ
jected to paying taxes.--Kansas City

American journalist, told this story at
a recent dinner party:
"One day when l was the city edi-

hankered after the bird, but the editor
finally claimed It, took 1t home, and
had it cooked for dinner. The next
day a letter was handed in to him,

Of much dispute among US. To settle

BAsEBALL-spoRTs OF ALL SORTS BOXING
SoX Can't Hit on Home Grounds
PheIan a Daily Hero.


architectural defect in the South Side
baseball park must be responsible for
the failure of the White SOx to hit
the ball. The puzzling feature is that
visiting teams as a rule do not suffer
from the same cause.
True, on the first portion of their
Eastern trip the Sox were not max
ing many runs, but they were hitting
the ball ViciOusly, except in the
pinches. Then when they reached
Washington and Philadelphia their
attack was so fOrceful that those two
teams were overwhelmed.
And see what happens as soon as
they reach home. In two games
against the Yankees they have made
IL hits. Of course, two games are not
enough on which to pass judgment,
but what is true Of these two games
has been the rule all season.
Complaint was made about the
signboards in center field some time
ago, and President Comiskey had the
signs painted out and a coat of dull
green put on in their place. No i'm
prOVement was noticeable in the bat
ting of the home folks.
Some of the Eastern teams have
done good batting on the South Side,
slightly better than the SoX on the
whole, but even their marks have
not been up to the standard set in
other cities.
No method of correction is handed
out with this story. 1t is a mere state
ment of facts, and it might be well
for club officials to look into the mat
ter.
Maisel, Chances young third base
man, is one Of the few expensive
beauties who has shown evidence
right off the reel that he is worth

OPPOSES WORKMEN'S BILL
Chamber of Commerce Sends
Criticism to Governor.

The Chamber of Commerce has sent 10
Governor Glynn letter explaining IN de-
tail why the workmen's compensation
BILL as it now stands, should be changed
or rejected entirely. A special committee
of the chamber told the Governor the
bill would establish a state monopoly III
compensation insurance. IT also was
pointed out that rates of compensation
were so high as to make competition al
most impossible between manufacturers
In New York State and in other states
where lower rates are in effect.
The principal objection TO the Dill IL
that the remedies provided are not IN
elusive that is. instances are certain 10
arise wherein the employer will be douply
liable. for he may be called upon to pay
compensatIon as provided under the act
and at the same time may be open to
suit for damages.
Another objection is the elimination CT
vcrkmen in non-hazardous trades from
nrotection under the bill. This would not
only exclude from its benefits more than
half of the employed citizens OF the state
hut would leave subject TO doubt and liti-
cation all industries not absolutely in

Or. William Guilfoy, registrar Of the De-

'Non-reporting OF births does not by
