Washington failed to gain on the Maps
during the trip just finished, but they are
only few games. behind. They may be
able to accomplish second place by consis-
tent work at home but this is something
they have failed to do all season. The fact
that they are no higher in the race may
be laid to the Indifferent work they have
shown on the home lot. This may have
been due to long hospital list in one home
series, or the hot climate in the Capital
may have been responsible. Financially
the team has made some money, although
not anywhere near the amount made last
year by their splendid squirt.
The White Sox continue in fourth place
and will just about finish in that position,
unless Boston takes a sudden improve
ment. In spite of their position the Sox
are just as popular with Windy City fans
as they ever were. They know that no
expense has been spared in getting players,
and that both President Comiskey and
Manager Callahan were doing their level
best. Also President Comiskey has given
them one of the finest ball parks in the
country and it will be one of the best for
many years to come. The old Roman
has announced that he and his MANAGER are
on the best of terms and is unable to un-
derstand how any talk of change in man
ayers could arise. He says the chief fault
OF the team is its weak hitting and that
next year it will be improved greatly. We
may therefore expect to see Callahan again
plotting the Sox next season.

MANY RURAL SCHOOLS UNFIT,
Conditions Particularly Bad Say the
State Authorities.

Lansing, Feb. IA gigantic cam
raign to secure better sanitation and
hygicniC conditions in the public
schools of Michigan is being carried
on by the Michigan state board of
health and the. department OF public
instruction. The former organization
has published n j2-paee pamphlet, the
edition numbering $4,000, and these
are being sent To every city and rural
every school official in the state, to
all the newspapers and libraries. This
is the most prctcntiUus effort ever
made by the state of Michigan to ed
uCate the people to the absolute neces-
s,ty of attention To- the physical con-
d'tions under which children study for
from four 10 six hours day, five days
in the week and from thirty to forty
weeks i'm the year
This year the department of public
instruction has emphasized practical
school sanitation i'm the school officers
meetings which have been held In
each county i'm the state and has sent
out a good deal of printed matter on
the subject. The fact that ii is now
possible to make rural schools as
sanitary, as comfortable and as at
ttactive as city schools is squirting on
the state officials to demand proper
conditions in the country school
rooms.

FAVORS GlASNER BILL.
Marriage Should Be Made More Diff
cult Says Saginaw Official.

Saginaw. Mich, Feb. IA copy of
House bill No. II. recently introduced
by Representative Glasncr at Lansing
to amend the law regulating mar
riage. has been received by Edward c.
Doisler, member of the Saginaw board
of health. Mr.. Dcislcr some time ago
fathcred a resolution adopted 10y tl"
board approving tho ideas embraced
IN this measure and before il WAS in
troduccd i'm the legislature.
The bill is stringent in its require
mcnts for medical examination be
fore the marriage ceremony may be
performed and has reference to insane,
feeble minded or idiotic persons or
those suffering from certain diseases.
The penalty for contracting such
marriage or aiding i'm it is a fine of
Lot more than $1,000 or Imprisonment
at Jackson not less than one year ar
more than five.
Mr. Dcisler is much interested in
the subject and will probably. nc
says, again bring it to the attention
OF the board of health for further en-
dorsemcnt in order TO assist as much
as possible in helping to enact thy
provision into a law
Michigan is the first state To have
such a law proposed said Mr.. Deis-
Ter. While the measure is stringent
il is not strong enough. | am in
hearty sympathy with it ana believe
the legislature will act favorably, at
least il ought To do so. 1t is an i'm
pOrtant problem.
