THE WRONG BOTTLE.

According 10 the coroner of Cook
county, Illinois, las persons died in
Chicago last year from accidental poi
soning the mistake in a large MAORI
~ Of these cases being simply the
old error OF getting the wrong" bot
tie. In the dark, or perhaps in day
light, without looking. they reached
for bottle Of cough medicine and
got carbolic acid, or grabbed for a
package of supposed throat tablets
and got bichloride Of mercury, or did
some other equally foolish and fatal
thing.
So many fatalities Of this sort in
just one city indicates the grave SER
iousness OF this danger, and the need
of some kind Of a remedy. The Cook
county coroner thinks the first pre-
stationary step should be a state law
requiring all liquid poisons TO be put
up in distinctive bottles, and further
requiring poison tablets to be put up
in distinctive colors and odd shapes.
4 poison label, he insists, is not
enough 20 avoid serious mistakes, and
in view OF the record which he cites
one must readily agree with him. A
law Of the kind he suggests probably
would save many lives, and any law
that viii do that is worth having.

PREPARE COUNT
OF BIRDS IN US.
Dept. ofAgricuIture Compiling Cen
sus or Feathsred Population

Washington, July S.-Ohiclals of the
Biological Survey in the Department
Of Agriculture hope soon TO be able
TO announce the most accurate count
ever made of the birds in the United
hundreds of nature lovers around the
country VINO have enlisted as volunteer
enumerators have been coming in re-
ilecting an enthusiastic interes. in the
count.
When the census was decide upon
about $50 bird enthusiasts in all sec
tons OF the country who previously
had rendered valuable service were
asked to supply the desired irforma-
ton, and in addition To these, several
hundred others volunteered their aid.
Count Will Be Thorough.
The counting has been going on since
June l, and was To have wound up by
July l, but il probably will be some
time before the last of the returns are
in and announcement is made OF the
total bird population. The census will
not include the varieties known as
game birds, but in all other respeC Is Il
will be as thorough ami as well clas-
siiled as is practicable. Previous esti-
mates by the bird experts are that
there are $50 main species of birds i'm
the United States and Canada, the
varieties being more generously dis
turbed i'm the eastern states than in the
west and the least of all in the prairies.
But this is only guess. The enum-
orators in the present count have been
assigned typical tracts of woodland,
cultivated land ami pasture. and asked
TO count the birds - each. officials o.
each state will be asked to furnish the
Department Of Agriculture with infor-
nation showing the total number of
acres of each kind OF land within the
borders of the states and the number
of birds in each state then will be fair
ly accurately computed.
Observers Out at paybreak.
The plan adopted by many of the
observers is To zigzag back and forth
across the chosen area at daylight,
counting the male birds OF each spe-
cies, as at that time of day, at this
season. each is in full song and easily
seen. After the migration period is
over and the birds are settled in sum-
mer quarters it is safe TO consider that
each male represents breeding pair.
one of the main objects of the census,
by the way, is to determine how many
pairs of birds of each species breed
within definite areas.
count taken i'm part of Chevy
chase, suburb of Washington, show
ed thirty-four species of birds i'm a |
tract of twenty-three acres, the total
number of breeding pairs being 159. |

Is stated is about one pair to an acre. !

An interesting situation with refer

outside OF governor and lieutenant

Waite TO expect the nomination for
secretary of state at the hands OF the
convention. Should both the Detroit
gubernatorial candidates lose, Waite
would have a most excellent chance
OF landing the nomination because OF

That $4,000 votes will nominate the
Republican candidate for governor
this year is the claim made by many
political dopesters. That this claim
is not unreasonable may be seen by q
comparison Of the votes OF the last
two primary elections. We now have
six candidates in the field. William
$. Linton OF Saginaw is the latest
entrant having announced his cand-
dacy Saturday. In the campaign Of
1912 between Musselman and Martin
dale total Of l6S,905 votes Were cast.
Mr.. Musselman was the winner In
that contest with total of but S6,191
votes. In the primary of 1910 when
Osborn, Kelley and Musselman made
one of the most vigorous canvasseS
the state has ever known and before
there was any division in the Repub-
lican ranks. "A total OF 1928 votes
was cast. Mr.. Osborn won with S.
go votes.
August % is the date for the pri-
mary and the rural vote will be cs-
pecially light. Probably, therefore,
not more than 10000 votes will be
cast in the Republican primary, if in
deed it runs that high.
With six candidates in the field TO
split up 10000 votes IT is manifestly
guess that $4,000 will nominate is
not very far wrong. OF course some
Of the six candidates are not going u
pole nearly one-sixth of the vote. IF
they did $4,000 votes would he pretty
likely to nominate. Bot each of the
six candidates if they remain in the
field to the finish will poll certain
vote and $4,000 in state casting
more than half n million in the cleo
ton is a pretty small percentage to
get.

FOUR MAJOR LEAGUE IDEA
 NOT POPULAR

Some Of these days the nagnates will swat the goose which lays the golden egg such wallop that the old bird will go down for the full count There is such a thing as baseba1ling the dear public to death.
 If Organized Baseball makes good its threat to start another league next spring we will have four leagues in the field claiming major feague cIassi- hcation, provided the Federal league keeps going. Keeping track of four major leagues will cease to be sport for the average fan It will be work.
 On some sides the story is taken only as a, bluff to coax the Baltimore, Buffalo and Indianapolis fans back to their international and Association ball parks, while others take the story seriously and feel positive Organized Baseball will see it through.
 Already there is a squawk going up all over the country, and some mag mates in the International league and American association are ready to go on the war path. With Baltimore, Buffalo, Toronto and. Newark out of the Interna tfonal league the sailing will not be very smooth for Rochester, Providence, Montreal and Jersey City. The Providence club is owned by the Detroit Americans. sos there will be no official kick, but the Providence fans may take a. different view of it.

LOUISVILLE HUNG UP HARD LUCK RECORD 25
 YEARS AGO TODAY

A baseball worlds record was hung up a quarter Of a century ago today June 22 1889, which has never since been equalled or surpassed More over, no club in any league entertains any ambition to break this record. On the date aforesaid the Louisville club of the old American Association lost it's twenty-sixth consecutive game. No league club before or since has suffer ed So many reverses in a row. without a taste Of victory to break the mon .otony of losing, and it is safe to say that no team wants to. The follow ing year, 1890, the Pittsburgh Pirates were apparently intent on smashing the Louisville record, but they fell short by three games, losing twenty three in a row. Although NinicIx,s hir7 ed men failed in their endeavor to de- Drive Louisville of its dubious honor, they did succeed in setting up 9. Ma tional league record The American Iished in 1906, when the Boston Red Sox, under the management of James FJ. Collins, were vanquished in twenty straight games
 The old American Association, in which Louisville set up a hard luck record that has endured for a quarter of a century. was classed as a major league. although it included at one time or another many of the cities now represented in the present Ameri- can Association. which was launched in 1902. Although so ingIoriously de- feated in 1889. the Louisville club was strong enough the following year to capture the pennant Cincinnati was the first champion of the old assocIa.- ton in 1882 The following year the PhiIadeIphia. Athletics were victorious, and the New York Metropo1itans an nexed the flag in 1884 and played Prov idence, the National League winners, in the first series for the professional worlds championship, but were defeat ed by the Rhode Islanders in three straight games. St. Louis then took four straight pennants in the Aneri- can Association, and in the post-season contests with the National League victors tied Chicago in 1885, defeated Chicago in 1886, lost to Detroit in 1887, and to New York in 1888. Brooklyn led the American Asoeiation in 1889, but lost to New York in the contest for the worlds flag. Brooklyn went into the National League in 1890 and played Louisville, the American Association champions in the worlds series, each club winning three games. when the series was stopped by cold weather. Boston captured the last pennant Of the old A. A. in 1891, but no world S series was played that year

NICKALLS NOT

 COACH AT YALE

From a condition of chaos Yale rowing has been transformed into vitaIized system which ts regarded as on a permanent basis through Yales eyeIash finish over Harvard. There IS still much doubt who VIII be in charge of Yale's coaching the coming season, but there is none over the stroke that
 the crews will try to row. It will be the same that Jack Appleton passed back Friday at New London.
 The Yale crew captain and the new rowing committee will not get to work right away but it can be stated that Guy Nickal1s, the English coach who gave Yale a stroke that finally won from Harvard after seven years of. waiting, has been Approached on the. question of returning to Yale another year, and has stated that he has al- ready taken up other plans.
 Whether he can be induced to aloan-' don them and to accept an 1nvitatlor' to come to Yale is uncertain Or course no formal offer has been yet made him. although secores of alumni have expressed cordial hope that he will be found here another season., and he has frankly pointed out to them that he promised to come hcE-o for one season only, and has already
 become involved in a, project in Eng l land.
 One of the features of the situation is demand that the services of Jack Appleton, stroke of the crew in the
 sensational race, be utilized as one of

 0N POLO GROUNDS

Frank Farrell. owner of the New York Yankees. Is holding frequent com ferences with Harry Hempstead, presi- dent of the Giants, in regard to ex- tending the stay of the Yankees at the Polo Grounds. A park was plan ned for the Yankees at Kingsbridge, but little work has been done on it of late on account of the lack of staibiI- ity in the baseball situation
 Last year the National league voted against having two clubs of the same city share a park. One year of grace was given to the Yankees to find a. new home. This resolution, however, was taken before war conditions be- came acute. and there is little doubt that sentiment in the matter has changed.
 An announcement is expected within a few days, that the Yankees have com games at the Polo Grounds for a long term of years.
