"That small, motor-driyen toy auto
molies" which Bullafo concern plans
to manufacture and ship into New
Mexico. cannot be operated unless
their owners conform to the state au-
tomobile regulations in the matter of
licenses, lights, etc, is the informa-
tion that Assistant Attorney General
Ira Grimshaw is sending to the Buf-
falo people today. The concern is the
Ericsson Manufacturing company and
in a letter to the secretary Of state
the manager explains that the manu-
facture of "toy automobiles driven
by one-half horse power motors, and
suitable for boys between the ages
of u and 16 years" was planned. He
expressed the opinion that heavy sales
could be made in the event the toys
were not subjected to the usual auto
mobile regulations and asked for IN
formation. As the state law covers
ali motor-driven vehicles, regardless
of horse power, Mr.. Grimshaw holds
that such toys" would be subject to
license fee of 50 a year, and that
those owning and operating them
would have to conform 10 the general
automobile regulations. He also is
informing the Buffalo concrn that in
New Mexico boys under IA years of
age are not permitted to operate
motor cars.

AMATEUR ATHLETIC UNION

New York, Nov. 16.-The annual
meeting of the Amateur Athletic I'm

are many important questions to be
decided. 1t is believed the meeting
viii decide TO allow the Cadets ani
M;ddies to compete without register

designed to permit amateurs to com
pete with professionals if certain regis
tration conditions are complied with;
to permit professional events to be
hello at the same meets where anna
teur events are on the program; to
permit college students to join athle-
tic organizations in the vicinity Of the
institutions where they attend. Not
the least of the questions to be dis
cussed is whether women will be al
lowed to register for swimming ev-

ceiyed me. AS soon as he saw me he
shut the Office door, pulled up his
chair, shook his finger at me and
said See here, young man, wnat is
this / hear about you and the Ameri-
can league? Don't you know that you
belong to my club, and that you will
either play in New York or you won't
play at ALL? was completely taken
|aback, and said: Why, Mr.. Freedman,
i am already signed up with Connie
Nick. That doesn't make any differ
enrce, said Freedman, the American
league won't last three months, and
then wheer will you be? Every play
er who goes with that league will be
black-listed He won't be able to play
anywhere else as long as he lives,
and furthermore, you are the property
OF this club, and if you refuse to live
up to your agreement / will bring suit
again you myself.
This was a remarkable revelation
to me. Prior to this l had had no
inkling Of my value to Mr.. Freedman
or the New York club. Possibly had
it not been for the fact that his entire
pitching staff had deserted to the
American league and he was left flat
without a twirler, Mr.. Freedman him
self would have had no such opinion
of my value. However, as it was, and
taking full advantage of my childish,
Ignorance, he so wrought on my ina
gination that ] didn't know where was
at. | naturally didn't want TO rorego
my future career as a ball player, if
such a career was a prospect, and
i didn't want to go with league that
wouldn't last three months But at
the same time, didn' want 20 go back
on my word to Connie Mack, so / ex-
planned to Mr.. Freedman that had
already received $50 in advance money
and asked him If he would return this
money to Mack. He said he would and
we left the matter in that way. |
Immediately wrote to Connie Mack,
explained the situation, told him l
was threatened with suit by Mr..
Freedman, and asked him it he would
stand behind me in this suit. To this
Communication / received no reply. !
repeat that Mack knew nothing of my
ability as a player, except through
hearsay, and no doubt thought If there
was going to be SO much trouble in
getting possession Of me, the game
wasn't worth the candle.
In any case. eventually returned
to the fold Of the National league,
and the beginning Of the season found
me pitching for Andrew Freedman.
incidentally, he persistently forgot to
return the $50 to Connie, SO when /
had received enough salary to enable
me to do so, I refunded the money my
self"

PRAYING PEOPLE SINCE HOS
TlLlTlEs OPENED

yerneuil, Nov. 16.-"It matters not, =
cried the old abbe, crossing himself
before the gaping hole in the front
of the parish church at Verneuil.
God is eternal and by His grace we
shall survive"
The sixinch shell that went
through the hole had carried the door
with it and blown out part of the side
wall A smaller hole in the clock
tower marked where a three-inch pro
jectile had cut through, and the dial
lay shattered at Able Schmidt's feet.
Another shot had torn from it's hang
ings the old church bell, which in its
fall had crashed through the front
and obstructed the entry. Another
shot had made a great opening in the
roof and the shall exploding inside
had demolished the altar and the re-
liauary lay buried beneath heap OF
stone. mortar and splinters. But the
four walls remained erect and the
steeple seemed to hold its pointed
head up with the same dignlfied for
titude with which the venerable abbe
braved the iron hand Of the destroyer
Five days before the Germans had
made a short forced halt around Yer
neuil, and when they passed through
IT was to seek shelter for great num-
her of victims of the French artillery
which had halted in its retreat to
check the pursuers. The vicar of the
parish was among the 10000 priests
with the French army, whose lines al
ready extended far to the south. Most
Of the inhabitants Of the parish had
fled or sought refuge, and the ABIDE
Schmidt was nearly alone to aid the
German surgeons and nurses to take
care of these previously torn sol
diers, most of whom lay upon bun
dies Of straw in the church itself. For
three days, night and day, he cared
for the enemy's wounded with the
same devotion as if they were of his
own country. Then, in the frantic
hurry of the retreat before the allies,
ne endeavored, as far as possible, to
ease the pain caused by their trans
port into all sorts of improvsed am
balances.
The last of the wounded had scarce
" quit the town, when the booming
Of cannon was heard from two direc-
tions almost simultaneously, and from
the German lines the shells began to
fan into the little village When the
French came through, the church was
wrecked and no longer a possible shell
ter for the French wounded.
The following day was Sunday and
in the morning Able Schmidt, with
the aid Of few parishioners, succeed
ed in hanging the bell from beam

reliquary from under the debris. erect.
ed an altar in the street and said mass
before the largest congregation that
had gathered in his parish in many
years.
This is only one Of many incidents
showing that, after drifting for cen
tury toward unbelief, France is reviv-

gious devotion under the soulmoying

Here is man, who has arranged a

If man is licentious, though this
in her would be utter shame, his wife

sue:
Il don't believe Mack had been
much impressed by my baseball rec
ord. hut he was always anxious to get
college players, and he had heard OF
NV football ability. After some cor
respondence he offered me $1,000 or
81 500 a season q forget exactly which
and thereby took a great weight off

ing him that as was going to college,
/ could play only part Of the season,
but that if he would guarantee to give
me $7OO for the summer vacation,
during which was free, would come.
He assented to this, and as
thought fortune was certainly doing
the proper thing by me, might as
well make hay while the sun shone,
| told him thought ought to have
$50 in advance. / owed some money
for books and few other items, and
wanted to get square with the world.
This was a big demand knew, but !
didn't know but that he might give It
and / thought in any case I would
make a try. Later l reproached my
self for not asking for more, as he
advanced the money without com
ment.
1T was some three weeks after this
that 1 received a red-hot communities
ton from Andrew Freedman. 1t ap-
peared / hs.d committed some crime
and must Zee him at once to straight

And this hideous ancient custom has
survived all the progress Of civilization
all the growth Of law, equity and juris-
prudence, and even the influence Of all
religions!
A Christian gentleman of the pres
ent time, finding his wife in this sin,
may kill her and go free. The law
does not absolutely say that he may
but the jury will not convict Are they
not men? DO they not feel deep
sympathy with "the injured husband?"
Do they not know that mans honor
is dearer than his life-or hers?
Now that women are beginning to
turn their awakened minds upon the
life about them, there are many things
which strike them as deeply strange.
and this is one of them.
If a woman commits adultery, well
then, she has sinned; she has broken
the law, and also the commandment.
If she is to be punished, let her be
tried, like any other criminal. Is not
this right of a common thief? OF the
worst murderer? Do not the brave
sheriffs give their lives (somet1mes)
to save wretched negro (guilty, per
haps, of far worse crime than adul
tery) from being lynched?
What is the right of intramartial
.lynching which is so widely recogniz-
ed? Who conferred the right?
Why, he did-man, who exercises it,
Is she not his land may not a
man do what he will with his own?
AS far as honor lies in chastity, It
belongs to woman. All the interest a
man has in 1t, he vests in her, SO to
speak. 1t becomes his chastity be-
cause she is his he in his own per
son does not feel the need Of it.
