Again and again his country has changed
hands The seaboard plains and the lofty high
lands upon the eastern Spanish frontier known
to the medieval world as Catalonia, have shared
the usual fate Of border territories. Peoples from

The name Catalonia is usually taken to imply
merely the Spanish province and to mention the
Galatians is to call up disturbing visions of in

DANIELS BANS SCHEME TO
 USE DISCARDED EMPHASIZES AS TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITALS

Washington, Nov. 6.-Shopworn, frayed out at the edges and other wise useless battIeships that Uncle sam has discarded should not be used for sani- toriunas for tuberculosis patients in the opinion of Secretary Daniels of the navy department. He is not impressed with the plan put forward by a num- ber of physicians and endorsed by a school of hygiene that the warriors be used for that purpose. In this Secre- tary Daniels has the support of Sur geon General Stokes who says that the old warships could not be put to a worse use.
 Tar better that they be used for target practice said Dr. Stokes.
 Mr. Daniels points out that sleeping quarters are always below decks, are cramped and artificia1ly ventilated and lighted. Besides this, the vessels usual ly are damp below decks from the moisture of the hull.

WALTER JOHNSON, WASHINGTON PITCHING
 MARVEL, 25 TO-DAY

Humboldt, Kansas, will join today with Washington, D. C., in celebrating the quarter centenary birthday of that illustrious American, Walter Perry Johnson. Practically all of the dope sharps of baseball, outside of New York, are agreed that the youngster born in the aforesaid village of Hum boldt twenty-five years ago today has developed into the pitching marvel of the century, and even New Workers are beginning to admit that the Wash ington smoke ball artist comes mighty near to being the peer of Christy the Great. Johnson has put the repub- lies capitol on the baseball map, and his merit has been recognized by the management. Next year the lengthy Kansan will get $12.50O for his enr- vices, which is an advance of S5,OOO per annum, and constitutes the big gest wad of kale ever grabbed off by a diamond star without managerial duties.
 Johnson is not a Swede, as some biographers have stated, but is of
 mingled Scotch and German ancestry. His father and mother were PennsyI- vanians. In his youth he went to California, where he began pIaying 2 ball with amateur and school mines In 1905 Tacoma, in the Northwestern, signed him, but he was not given a chance to show his ability, but was turned over to Weiser, in the Idah O State League. Although only sixteen, Johnson won nine of athe ten games he twirled for Weiser during his first year in professional baseball. The next year. after having failed in an attempt to get a tryout with Los Angeles, he returned to Weiser, and won thirteen of fifteen games pitched. He twirled eighty-five successive in ningS without being scored against, and averaged fourteen strikeouts per game He was only eighteen when he was sold to Washington, where he has developed into the great AIl-Ame merican pitcher. Johnson stands six feet one inch in altitude, weighs around 1855 pounds, and has a reach of just two inches less than seven feet. His re- markable length of arm has given him a speed equal1ed by no other pitcher. Scientific tests show that Johnson's s fast ball travels at the rate of 122 feet per second.

If you do that and keep on doing it you need never worry about promotion. It will come of it's own accord.
