POLISH sOeIABILITY

The Poles are very kind and very
socia BILE They are always willing
and ready to make the acquaintance
OF perfect strangers on po provocation
at ali, and to earnestly question them
about such intimate matters as their
favorite breakfast food. whether they
prefer WOODEN or gingham underwear,
or whether you are married and
have children, and what their child
ren's names are and how many teeth
they have. Most every Pole does not
allow himself to feel it below his dig
nifty to show proper interest in his
fellows
One cannot stray tnrousa Polish
parts on a railway train without max
ing a host of warm temporary friends.
The first thing a true Pole does up
on meeting stranger, whether in the
market place, in a ruined castle, IN
a picture gallery, or in day coach
is to open the affable preliminaries
of a conversation. When one becomes

it. Says DIR. Claxton:
This proclamation Will have far

Of medicine that among the uses g
which Pow erful ecfro-mag NETS could
be put Was that OF removing rapnei
fragnents and steel BULLETS from
wounded soldiers This observation
according to q report from held nos
pital surgeon, has been amply sus-
tanned since the opening OF the war.
Thus, electro mas nets are coming m
to demand in Europe for the ex-
traction OF Wholesale shrapnel and
steel which the armies of Europe are
busy pumping into one another
In. operations during the Balkan
war it was found that electro-naag-
nets could draw shrapnel fragments
to the surface from depth OF SIX
inches. while bullets were drawn
from depth OF IA inches The
employment OF the magnet Is said to
cause less pain and less disturbance
to tissue than the use of the probe.
There is one obvious improvement to
be made upon the electro magnet
probe, and that Is the deyising of an
electro-magnet instrument which will
draw bullets and shrapnel fragments
and she'll husks to themselves in the
first instance. doing away with all
snbsequent necessity for their use as
probes.

SIGNS
YOUNG PITCHER
For the Colts as One of the
Players Recommended by
Charley Hickman.

Curt Free, young pitcher mailing
from Xenia, o.. has been signed by
Manager shannon OF the Colts. Free
was one of the players Charley Hick-
man recommended to the 'clarksburg
club and according to the Cleveland
scout the big pitcher has a roseate
future. Another outfelder Will be
given a trial. He is Pete simpson, OF
New Castle, Pa, and last season he
was with the Independent team of that
city.
All other players under contract to
the locals VIII be in town by tomor-
row might. Shannon will put the boys
through a stiff practice both morning
and AFTERNOON and. by the time the
season opens he will have all his
athletes in good condition. 1t is ex-
pected Manager Shannon will schtd-
uIe several other exhibition games
with teams in this vicinity West
Union wrote for a game and Shannon
has taken the matter up with the
management there. The Colts will
probably play in that town some day
next week.
The Colts will lave for Grafton
Saturday morning where they will
tackle Tom Murphy's Grafton agSre-
CATION in the afternoon. On Sunday
local fans will have the opportunity
of seeing all recruits in action, for in
the game between the Regulars and
the Yannfgans Manager Shannon in
tends to use every man in the squad.
The ball park is being rapidly put
in shape and by next week it will be
in tip top condition Good baseball
cannot be PLAYED on a rough diamond
and Manager Shannon. proposes to
have Union Park kept in good shape
all season long.
Word comes from Philadelphia to
the effect that Joe Kearney, the big
college catcher who is signed with the
Colts. is going great in the college
games this spring. Recently he se-
cured four hits in as many trips to
the plate against the Lehigh Univer-
sity team. From this viewpoint 1t
looks as though the backstop depart
ment OF the locals will be a strong
one.
