VALDOSTA MANAGER
SCOUTING FOR PLAYERS

Valdsta, Ga, Feb. THE Valdosta
baseball club will hold meeting in a
few days and reorganize for the 1914
season. Joe Herold has already been
signed as manager and is now in Gin
cinnati selecting players. He writes
that he has his entire team made up,
with the exception of catcher, and he
expects to sign a good man for that
place very soon. Herold will have four
or five of the players who were with
Valdosta last year, including Winges,
one of the star twirlers Of the league.
President Langdale of the Valdosta
Association was complaining today be-
cause Valdosta has not been paid back
the money which the club put up last
year as guarantee Of going through
the season. A check fer 5000 was sent
the club about Christmas time, leaving
$500 still due. President Langsdale
has written President Grower about
the matter.

DICK UTTER WILL
MANAGE COLUMBUS

Dick Utter, utility catcher and out-

Cotton States league team for 1914.

Bernie Bernstein, who accompanied
Dick to Americas, will more than like
ly play short for the Columbus team.

u. s. VESSELS
MAY CONVOY
LINER FROM
BAR HARBOR
Would Be Scouts to
Warn of Approach
Of Hostiles

Washington, Oct. 9.-The contem-
plated trip of the interned German
liner Kronprinzessin Cecilie from Bar
Harbor, Me-, to winter quarters in
Boston harbor may be made under
convoy of United States naval vessels.
The warships would go as scouts,
however, merely to warn the captain
of the liner should British or other
cruisers put in an appearance while
the Cecilie was outside the three
mile limit, permitting her to hasten
toward shore and avoid capture.
This suggestion was made at the
state department today, but it may
prove an unnecessary precaution. It
is believed that no objection would
be offered to the trip by the British
foreign office If the matter were laid
before it, and that course probably
will be taken to avoid all possibility
of raising question of the belligcrent
powers to interfere with a vessel in
the peculiar status of tn eGerman
liner.

THE first group was operating in
the region of Vladislavoff and Wirbal-

Suwalki, Russian Poland). Our troops
dislodged them from Vladislavoff and
surrounding them on the north. On
October 8, however, this group still
maintained its position east by south
of Wiballen. All it's attempts to take
the offensive at that point failed, the
enemy sustaining heavy losses.
The second group of the enemy, a
very strong one, commenced an ener-
getic attack in the vicinity of Ratch-

8 we assumed a vigorous offensive
against their front. The enemy, COW

The victory over the 2 to 1,

well won, no lucky breaks or

opening through which the Phil

penetrate.
The Braves were first to
score, putting two runs across

walked and scored on Gowdy's
double, who in turn came home
ON Maranville's drive to left
center. The Athletics came
back with a run in their half of

HAD FAITH IN HIS IDEAS.
Jules Verne Felt the Things He Wrote
Would Come to Pass.

Would Come to Pass.
Anything new about that wonderful
man, Jules Verne, is invariably inter
esting. And in the Paris Temps Felix
Duquesnel, who knew the author well,
tells quite a lot about him that is mot
generally known"
Il believe | invent possible things"

he believed in the realization of his i'm
aginings his friends did not at first be-
lieve that he would be successful as an
author.
One day, according to NJ Duquesnel
when Verne was in the company of a

with great seriousness:

cording to GIrardin, is necessary to a

SLEEPING IN CHURCH.
Men Do 1t Because They Are More At
tentive Than Women.

A German professor who has been
making a study of the problem de
clares that men fall asleep in church
because they pay more attention to the
sermon than do the women. Further.
he declares the average woman does
not begin to grasp the purport of the
sermon; that she is far slower of un
derstanding than man.
The man will watch the minister
every minute he will concentrate all
his mind upon the preacher and what
he is saying he will watch his every
gesture and every motion of his lips
and listen to every word until finally
he drops off to sleep simply because he
has watched SO steadily, gazed so in
tently, that he hynotized himself.
If the woman does not grasp the
meaning Of the sermon so readily, If
her mentality is not quite SO keen and
quick, one would think she would fall
asleep. But the fact remains that she
has plenty to interest her. A man can
not look about the church and be inter
ested in John Jones cravat or William
tmith'S vest or Sam Whites cuff but
IONS. He doesn't care anything about
them, but a woman will sit quietly in
church, she will hear what the minis
ter is saying without giving much
thought to it, but she will be interested
in everything every other woman Is
wearing, and there is enough to keep
her just moderately entertained and
wide awalle.-Chicago Tribune.

MOISTURE AND HEAT.
Why Person May Feel Cold In a
Room That is Well Heated.

1t often happens IN winter that a per
son living IN steam heated apartment
feels cold even when the thermometer
shows the necessary degree of warmth
fn the room. OF course there is q rea.
son for this and also q very simple
remedy. The reason is that the air in
Itbe room is too dry-it does not contain
lenough moisture-and the remedy Is,
of course, to keep some water In the
lroom all the time, so that it can evap.
crate into the air.
Our bodies, you see, are at all times
lexuding moisture in the form of per.
SEPARATION. Now, this perspiration, even
in winter, amounts to a great deal
| more than one would think being
measured in the pints. To evaporate
water heat has to be used up, and, as
the body is warmer than the air, the
heat to eyaporate this perspiration Is
| taken from the body. OF course then
the body feels cold.
I Here Is still another Illustration of
this fact: 1t has been shown by actual
experiment that q man can stay in an
oven heated to the boiling temperature
of water and not get uncomfortably
hot-that is, painfully hot. The heat
makes him perspire, and the heat taken
lup by evaporation from the body keeps
the body from getting hot. But sup
pose that the oven already contained in
its atmosphere all the water yapor that
1T could hold Then, as none could
ievaporate from the body, the drops on
the body would soon get near the boil
ing point. So in the room referred TO
laboye, If it contains good bit of
moisture the evaporation from the body
will not be so fast, and consequently
the body will not feel cold.-New York

Promises In Politics.

During a municipal campaign in Chi
cago a politician dropped in one morn
ing to see a certain grocer. During the
conversation that took place the poll
tician asked, And | may count upon
your support, may | not?"
''Why, no, am sorry to say" replied
the grocer. "The fact is, l have prom
ised my support to the other candi-
date"
The politician laughed "Ah," said
he, ''in politics promising and perform
ing are two different things"
"In that case" said the grocer cor
daily, II shall be glad to give you my
promise, sir Lippincott's.

LABOR LAW UPHELD.
Court Decides Night Work For Women
Is Illegal In New York.

Court Decides Night Work For Women
Is Illegal In New York.
A decision directly at variance with
the New York court of appeals ruling
made seven years ago holding a SINH
lar labor law to be Illegal was render
ed recently in special sessions by JUS
tees Forker Herman and Fleming
The case involved the statute recently
passed in New York making 1t illegal
for women to work between the hours
Of 10 p. m. and a. IN. 1t was admit
tedly a test case, and it is the deter
mination Of both sides to carry on ap-
peals until the case reaches the su-
preme court of the United States.
The Charles Schweinler Press Of
New York city, the defendant, was ac-
cused of keeping Mrs. May Cashel, a
woman bookbinder at work until a.
m. each day. 1t came out in the testi-
mony that Mrs. Cashel was the moth
er Of three children, whom she had to
care for when not employed as a book
binder. The decision was that the de-
IeHudHC COMPANY was SuHly VI 4leSdi-
ly employing Mrs. Cashel and that it
must release her each night at 10
O'clock.
The case will 60 forward on these
grounds; That the present law Is sup
ported by a more enlightened public
sentiment than the old law was and
that the courts now are willing to take
account Of this sentiment.
