BERLIN MUST BEHAVE ITSELF
Strict Regulations as to Conduct Have
Been Made, and They Will Be
RigidIy Enforced.

The German police are deter
mined that Berlin shall behave itself,
that henceforth it shall be an orderly
and a desirable place of residence.
To this end it is forbidden-our old
friend ''verboten"-to walk more
than three abreast on the pavement,
to swing walking sticks or umbrellas,
to talk loudly, whistle, sing, or shout,
to drop cigar or cigarette ends, pa
per or fruit on the pavements, and
to wear long skirts that produce
dust. Nothing has been said so far
about squeaking boots, or loud-tick-
ing watches, but probably the Ger
man police have their eagle eye upon
these evils and they will be abated
in due course. Now, the fun of the
whole thing is the fact that these
rules will be enforced. No German
law ever drops into desuetude. These
rules will have as much force in fifty
years. time as they have today unless
they shall be categorically repealed,
and they will be applied without dis
elimination or favor.-San Francis
co Argonaut.

The Turkish and other Mohamme-
dan villagers from the .Thracian
plains are retracing backward the
steps of their ancestors of five GEN.
turtles ago, and leaving Europe to
return to Asia. And the weird part
of it is that in costume, conveyances
and manner of life there has been
practically no change in these five
hundred years. The wheels Of their
long, narrow carts have spokes in
them now, where they used to be
solid wheels, and perhaps the rush
mating that protects the family
from the weather may be little bet.
ter woven. But the oxen or buffaloes
that leisurely drag the household
along, and the barefooted wife or
the sandaled husband with the goad
who pulls these numbering animals
by string, and the primitive mode
of life on their plodding journey, all
belong to bygone age.

ALWAYS "OUT" AT FIRST
WHEN A RUNNER SLIDES
Arbitrary Rule Of Umpires Upheld
by Head Of the American
Association.

CHICAGO. July %. - An "unwritten
law" promulgated by umpires. under
which they declare out batter who
slides into first base. was upheld today
by President Chivington of the American
Association, on the ground that the slide
to the initial sack serves no purpose but
that of confusing the umpire. President
Chivington's statement was made in an

Friel of st. Paul regarding a play made
at st. Paul the other day. when Umpire
O'Brien called out "Dixie Walker for
sliding head first into the base
There is no time gained by sliding and
In the case OF first base. where the base
runner does not have to dodge the touch,
the only reason for the slide is to raise a
