THE MODERN MENACE
by MARY INGE HosNrNs

unWelcome visitor with It's mothers
eyes and fathers mouth is made to feel
still more ths awful crime Of being
born. The man faces a situation-a
small salary. too small to keep a prl-
vate home of his very own, a uissatis-
fed wife, threatening to go back To
mother, crying babe, his own nerves
tense. and taut--then the thought Of
divorce takes hold of both the man
and the woman.
If this unfortunate girl had received
the proper home training she would
have forgotten self, and would have
been willing to have made an insig-
nifieaut home, ever so humble, and en-
phasized the part of mother and wife
in the great social problem.
There are 10000 fruitful causes 10
produce divorce when the woman fails
to grasp the situation, or is unwilling
10 make the sacrifices necessary to
hold the home as Q sacred institution,
The life of a wife and mother must be
one OF continual self denial and sacrl-
flee in petty things, and oft-times in the
greatest things of life, when a woman
becomes q wife and mother she has en-
tered upon a state God prepared for
woman at the beginning of creationi
she has begun to live--to live the life
worth while, she must rise to the
greatness of her commission and do
her part her growth and work must
begin on earth and end in Heaven,
for home, mother and heaven are
synonymous terms.

Classification of Colors

A piece of work affording a remarkable
example of the devotion of some men of
science to a task which is its own sole
reward has lately been completed by the
well known ornithologist, Robert Ridg
way, says the Boston Transcript. For 20
years and more he has labored at con-
structing a scheme and classification of
colors which should enable natural OBJ
jects to be scientifically identified by
means of color. The difficulties in the
case of birds alone will be familiar to
any one who has compared colored pic
lures of birds with what they can re-
member of the appearance of the birds
themselves. Mr.. Ridgway proceeded ON
the principle of the Maxwell color discs.
If disc made up of sectors of different
color be rapidly spun the colors will ap-
pear to blend in a single color, and this
single color, will. of course, differ accord
in gto the size and color and number of
the sectors. Thus neutral gray is defined
by Mr.. Ridgway resulting from a mix
ture on the color disc of the three prim-
ary colors, in the proportion of red 80 per
cent, green AZ and violet 26 per cent-and
this in relative darkness Is equivalent to
black 70 per cent, white POS percent
Other shades of gray follow and are diff
ferentiated by similar processes. The key
to the whole arrangement of colors is
the Td1TDOW DAIu Oh lIle SOldI SpeClIuHl,
which is augmented by adding to its
violet and the hues obtained by mixing
violet and red in various proportions by
means of the color discs.
The first problem which this pioneer in
colors had to solve was that of determ-
lining the number of segments into which
this fundamental series of color should
be broken. He decided on S6 segments,
and so far as possible the difference is
visual color difference between each of
these segments and that which is on
either side of it is the same. The colors
thus obtained are modified first by adding
(on the color wheeD neutral gray to
them. This produces continuous series of
broken or dull colors Five different
admixtures of gray were used, and so
there were five different series of dull
colors. Some being discarded, 1S0 colors
were thus obtained From these $50 of
the new ones are obtained. by similar
precise and scientific admixture Of black.
Finally no fewer than 1115 exact color
standards are obtained and are illustrat-
ed, and have been given names. But the
whole range of scientifically recognizable
colors is not even thus exhausted, for it
has been extended so as to cover over
1000 variations.

THE MAJOR LEAGUE ROOKIE is
BUSIEST WIGHT IN BASEBALL
FANS BELIEVE RECRUITS HAVE
EASY TINE, BUT POOR YOUNG
STERS WORK HARDER THAN
REGULARS
By REUBEN A. LEWIS

A PPARENTLY idle. the major
~ league recruit is a busy PERSON
a While the youngsters are being
drilled and prepared for future service,
the public wonders If they are being used
and usually declares that the rockies are
having a pleasant time warming the
bench. watching their snperiors perform.
But the major league youngster is about
the busiest wight in baseball.
Walter Mayer, the clever Baron back
stop. was a rookie with the Chicago White
Sox throughout 1912. and the receiver is
emphatic in the statement that an aspir-
ing major Lacquer is the busiest man in
baseball. ''While the fans believe that a
recruit is enjoying life. viewing the seen
cry and growing fat with idleness," AYERS
Walter, 'the truth is very much the other
way.
When one breaks into the big league
he is Immediately impressed with the fact
that he is an unlearned busher, and not
grizzled veteran. The old players shyly
shun the rockies, force them to sleep in
the less select berths and kid them inces-
sanity. But that is just a beginning.
In the morning the recruits report at
the park for practice. Usually the call is
made at 10 o'clock. and the session lasts
until IL. During this interval the pitchers
put their utmost in their work, while the
others indulge in fast fielding practice
and other little devices of the game.
Shagging' in the outfield is the mean
est job of all The pitchers, when not
working, are forced to the outfleld and
have to stop the batted balls hit in bat
ting practice when some other miserable
pitcher is working hard. Every morning
the rockies practice at least two hours,
and then have to return before the after
noon battle for another siege of 'shag-
ging.' In all the player is forced to play
moderately fast for three hours or more
a day, without getting to perform in a
real battle.
THE regulars usually report in the aft
ernoon about an hour before the game and
indulge in a light fielding and hitting prac-
tice. But while the regulars cavort for a
little over two hours a day, the poor lit
tie yannigan must work at least three
hours-just to gain that old experience
The life of a rookie is far from pleasant
but it's one of the games requirements.

COOPER WINS SANTA
MONICA ROAD RACE:
Driving Stutz Car, Cooper
Wins Race With OldfieId
in Second Place

Santa Monica, Cal, August 9.-Earl
Cooper. driving Stutz car, won the fifth
annual Santa Monica road race here to-
day by sending his car laundering around
the S.4 mile course SO times in 6 hours
minute so seconds, or an average of
1886 miles per hour. The record for AS
miles is 1925 miles per hour.
Barney Oldfeld, veteran of 100 races,
finished second with a Mercer in 6:O7 AS
Louis Nikrent, driving another Mercer,
was third in 6:2S:17.2.
Aside from the struggle between Cooper
and Oldfield for first place, the excellent
work of Frank Goode, driver of the APP
person No. II, kept the crowd excited. Ap-
parently Goode was certain of third place
until the forty-seventh lap when engine
trouble developed and put him out of the
running.
Teddy Tetzlaff, who won two previous
races over the same course, had motor
trouble from the start and his Fiat was
never a serious contender after the first
three laps.
Because the crowds bega nthronging
upon the course, as Nikrent finished, the
referee stopped all other contestants
awarding them places in the order in
which they stood at the time. Fourteen
cars entered the race, but five were elm
mated before the winners crossed the

Real Detective Story

Chicago, August 9.-(Special)-A real
detective story, stripped of the thrills of
dime fiction, was told in the Lumber
Trust hearing here today by Max A.
Dittbermer, employed by a Minneapolis
agency.
Dittbermer related that he was in
structed in 1908 to shadow certain con-
signments of lumber to various Chicago
mail order houses, his particular object
being to ascertain what retail lumber
dealers were selling to such places.
In the course of two months certain
retailers became suspicious that they
themselves We're being watched and
Dittbermer was given this angle to the
case inaddition to his first assignment.
He had little trouble in discovering that
detective named Kenyon was at work,
posing as a gypsy salesman. Dittbermer
saw that Kenyon addressed mail to post
office box $50, Chicago.
The owner of this box, he said, he
found to be we'll known detective

gagged in gathering evidence to show that
the retail dealers were in combination in

charged by the federal government

an operative for the second agency whose
work was inimical to that of his original
and real employer.

Every challenge brings from him wall
that his tum tum hurts him and he is go
