American League Don't Seek Peace
With the Federals.

Federals by the American League.
This fact was established yesterday
when the American League officials
hashed over the third "big" league
for half hour or so during the open
ing session of their annual fall meet
ing. The American League owners
have declared themselves adverse to
the recognition of a third league.
Peace would be a welcome thing,
but the Johnson magnates can't see
the way to it. They allowed as how
the Feds had injured them about as
much as is possible and indicated that
they were willing to go through the
season of 1915 under the same condi-
lions as in 1914.
Those who sat in at the conference
were B. B. Johnson, president of the
American League; William Harridge,
secretary of the American League;
Charles A. Comiskey and Harry Grab
liner, Chicago; Joseph j. Lannin, Bos-
ton; Connie Mack and Tom Shibe; 4
Philadelphia; Frank j. Nayin, De-
troit; Ben S. Minor, Washington;
Robert L. Hedges, St. Louis; Frank
Farrell, New York, and Charles Som
ers, Cleveland.
The first session did not get under
way until after 4 o'clock and little
real business was thrashed out. The
owners resumed the conference this
morning.

Further Use for Radium.

According to recent experiments in
Europe radium is instrumental in pre-
venting diseases of plants. For sew.

eDce have been experimenting upon
the effect of radium on vegetation by
mixing radioactive substances with
the usual fertilizers. The numer-
Gus results obtained in this work
show that most plants. either grain
or flower are remarkably stimulated
and give better yield both in size
and quality, this being often seen in
the fine and healthy color OF the green
plants or leaves. The same plants are
in better condition to resist attacks
from various sources of disease, es-
pecially diseases known as cryptoganl-

ventive for such diseases as wheat

LET THE GIRLS ROMP.

Many mothers have a dread Of rompS
so they lecture the girls daily on the
proprieties and exhort them to be lit
tie ladies. They like to see them quiet
and gentle and prim as possible. The
lot of such children is pitiable, for they
are deprived Of the fun and frolic which
they are entitled to. Chldren-boys
and girls must have exercise to keep
them healthy. Deprive them of it, and
they will fade away like flowers with
out sunshine. Running racing, skip
ping, climbing-tbese are the things
that strengthen the muscles, expand
the chest, and build up the nerves. a
mild dose OF gymnastics taken in the
nursery will not inyigorate the system
like good romp in the open air,
Mothers, therefore, who counsel their
little girls to play very quietly make a
mistake. Better the laughing, rosy
checked, romping girl, than pale,

a lady. The latter rarely breaks
things, or tears her dress, or tires her
mothers patience as the former does;
but after all what does the tearing and
breaking amount 10.

SAYS SPEECH SHAPES FACE
That Different Languages Have Differ

That English deforms the mouth was
the excessively odd accusation made
by Lord Ashbourne in speech to the
Gaelic league at Fermoy, and he de.
scribed Englishmen as having thin,
prominent lips, long front teeth and
the look OF a measly rabbit says the
Boston Transcript, German, he said,
is strong and vigorous. English in a
state OF decay. What makes his dia
tribe specially amusing is the fact
that one of the German students who
some years ago made a walking tour
through England and competed for a
prize in describing what they saw, ad.
vanced exactly the opposite theory.
He found that the trick OF speaking
English like an Engiishman Is to ad.
vance the lower jaw triile, and he
ascribed to the German language the
fact, or what he took for the fact, that
more Germans than English have a
retrsating chin. Apparently Il great
field is open for science in Investigate
ing the relation between speech and
physiognomy. with due regard to the

If some languages exercise mainly the
