A game was played in 1881 in the
surf at Nantasket, Mass, beach. The
contestants were clad in bathing cos
tunes and the water was just deep
enough to impede the progress of at
tempts at lively base running. The
pitching and batting were quite cred
table, but when a run was attempted
the result was decidedly ludicrous.

l.. M A wants to know about thin and thick soled shoes and light and heavy weight clothing.
 Answer: Don't wear thin soled shoes, One may take cold from chilling of the feet as the result of wearing thin soled shoes in walking over cold pavement, even when the pavement is perfectly dry.
 In spite of the fact that modern fash ions favor light clothing, there are still some people who wear too heavy clothes. If your work is indoors where it is warm, dress lightly, and put on extra clothes when you go out in the cold. Of course warm weather de- mands light clothing.

Saw German
Torpedo Fired
at the Hesperian

Norfolk. Va, Sept. 23.-Cspt. Smellie
of the British steamer Crosby today
filed with the British consul at New
port News a statement to the effect
that he witnessed he sinking of the
Allen liner Hesperian by torpedo
fired from a German submarine.
He says the submarine gave chase
to the Crosby and that only by put
ting on full steam and steering a zig
gag course in the darkness was he
able to escape.
Capt. Smellie's statement. it was
asserted, will be sent to British ad-
miralty to refute the claim by Ber-
lin that the Hesperian was sunk by a
floating mine.
Late in the afternoon of Sept. A. Capt
Smelie says he sighted a liner a few
miles off his starboard bow. He later
learned the vessel was the Hesperian
Just about dark, he says, the liner APP
peared to give a lurch and began to sink
by the head. He started to her assist
ance. but had hardly gotten the bow OF
his vessel around when he discovered a
submarine making directly for him. He
kept the stern of his vessel toward the
submarine and steered zig-zag course
and escaped.

FAIRFIELD GIRL
STRUCK BY CAR
OF ". &F.L|NE

Fairfield. Me-. Sept. 2.-(speciaD.-
Madeline Nelson. the three-year- old
daughter of Peter Nelson of Fairfield,
was struck by a Fairfield bound car at
o.55 Thursday afternoon and badly in
jured about the head, but the doctors
who were hurriedly called pronounced
her in no danger although she will prob
ably be confined TO her bed fo- a few
days.
The car was in charge of Motorman
Trainer and Conductor Dulac and had
nearly reached the Fairfield terninu.
when the motorman noticed some chill
dren playing in the gutter alongside the
track. He rang his gong and slowed
down the car and thought he was past
them when suddenly the Nelson girl ran
directly in front of the car. He brought
it to a quick stop, but not before it had
hit her. She went under the front of the
car, but it was stopped before the wheels
reached her. She was quickly removed
from her position and doctors sent for.
She was unconscious but reganed con-
seriousness within a short time and re-
moved to her home. where il was report
ed at night that she did not appear TO
he suffering any. No blame attaches TO
the motorman Of the car, who by slow
ing down and his quickness with the
brakes doubtless saved the child's life.

ASSESSORS GRANT
TAX HEARING ON
NJ. c. r. r. PROPERTY

Chief Engineer Dunn Of the Maine
Central was in the city Thursday and
was given hearing in the afternoon
before the assessors regarding a reduc-
ton in the valuation Of the Maine Cen
trail property in this city. The particular
item that the road objects to is the valu-
alton Of that part of its property which
extends north from the land of the col
lege to the iron bridge over the kenne-
bee, taking in the yards. the coal sheds
and shops, but not including the new
roundhouse. In 1914 this was assessed
at valuation of s2s1 900. while this year
the amount was placed at 100000 The
contention of the road seems to be that
the valuation in 1914 was sufficient and
that there has not been an increase IN
the value Of the property amounting to
$4,000 in year. The hearing was held
in the Office of the city treasua =. and the
