ROMP ON
BARRIERS

The Typos struck an awful winning
stride that threatens to carry them
clear past the top of the column yes
terday when they slugged the Barber
pills again and again out past the out
skirts OF the gardens and ran in nine
teen scores while the hair-cutters were
ringing up a measly five. Everybody
on the printer team had the expert
ence OF crossing the home plate in
yesterdays game and Lindsay, Cos
grove and Hall registered three each.
Everyone but the new pitcher, Gran
lee, got a hit Cosgrove led in find
ing the ball for safeties. with four
chalked up to him in the six times up.
Mcknight and Smell did the twirl-
ing for the BARRIERS and Granlee and
Lindsay for the Typos. Hits were
less evenly divided than runs, the Bar
bers taking II off the opposing twirl-
ers. while the Typos were getting 16.
Fifteen errors were made throughout
the game. the winners have the ad-
vantage of one less than their oppoH-
ents.
This places the Typos second in
the percentage column

In the south state counties just as

Lowe said. cotton can promise less
and make more than any other crop.
Possibly we will yet have good cot

the girls eyes. 1t was the first
really interested look he had ever
taken into them. and what he saw
there made him realize that he had
missed much of tho good in the world.
When he left the girl and her
father he asked If he might come in
often to see them, which was more
or less Of a surprise to the girl, for
she had known him for five years,
and he had never made 1t point to
drop into her home.
She was even wondering. on the
following night, when, If ever, Frank
Judson would come, when she heard
his voice in the hall. He was telling
her father that he had been worrying
for fear she had taken cold.
Indeed, l haven't" Helen assured
him as she gave him her hand.

JuDson AND HIS HOBBY
BY HOPE AINSLEE.

paper Syndicate)
The boys who had been teasing
Judson could see that they had gone
too far; that he was sensitive that
the matter was vital to him. They
had not realized until now that the
man was SO much in earnest. They
never had known a man who would
make a hobby of fire fighting. Now
that they stopped to ponder over 1t
they realized that it was Frank Jud-
son who had first proposed the or
ganization of this auxiliary fire depart
ment, and that it had been he who
had kept up interest in its existence
all the way along.
Tactfully the subject was diverted
from Judson and his penchant for
ringing the fire bell every time the
general village alarm was given. And
though Judson had little to say, he
seemed to have overlooked the teas
ing.
Within q fortnight, however, the
residents of the quiet suburban Sec

Out of the various houses dashed
men to answer the alarm, all mutter-
ing epithets about the man who saw
fit to call out the company on the
slightest provocation.
A pair of automobile lights cast
their bright reflection around the
curving road leading to the ftrehouse
and a machine, driven by a girl
wrapped in great fur coat. pulled up
beside the apparatus which had been
hauled from the firehouse.
Father is not well enough to an

began Helen Thompson. do you
want to tie the cart on behind?"
"Get in, Mr.. Judson," said Helen
when the boys had fastened the ap-
paratus to the back of the car.
Frank Judson got in beside the
girl and others occupied the ton
neau, while the remaining members
of the company started out on foot.
When the little contingent from
the auxiliary fire department
reached the scene Of the fire, the
blaze had been extinguished by the
regular fire fighters.
But we get the credit for being
game and on the job, said Martin,
who had squeezed himself into the
car"
"Yes-thanks to Judson here, we
keep good reputation for answering
calls" said another.
Its thanks to Miss Helen-this
time," replied Judson, forgetting, for
the moment to take notice Of the fact
that he was being chaffed.
"Shall we return?" asked the girl,
clapping her hands together to keep
the circulation in them.
And the little party returned
through the dark, cold, dreary streets
with the changing bell of the ap-
paratus behind them. Judson tried to
keep the cold wind from Helen and
asked her again and again If she were
not cold, but the girl kept up her
grit till her own home was in sight.
There was little more conversation
between the two. but when Judson
helped Helen from the car and picked
up the heavy fur robes to carry into
the house for her he hoped Helens
father would ask him to sit and visit
a while, even at that hour OF the
night.
Doctor Thompson met his daughter
with smile. Helen, you're better

BEATING THE LINE HOG.

The eavesdropper and the line hog
on party telephone lines are attacked
in the latest of the numerous inven-
tions to stop the national habit of
listening in" The device Is small
and simple. inclosed in a little box
attachable to any ordinary telephone
instrument. and 1t is now going
through the practical test of daily
trial on a number of rural telephone
lines. A dial on the box gives the
numbers on the party line as well as
q number for central. BY turning
pointer to any one Of the numbers
conversation becomes impossible ex
cept between the two numbers SO con-
nected, and no other instrument on
the line can detect the conversation.
At the end of the talk the line auto
matically restores itself to normal.
This takes care Of the listening-in
trouble. In order to prevent the un-
reasonable use Of the line by any Of
the patrons, another little device at
the central office. at the end Of three
or five minutes-whichever the man.
ager sets it for-will throw all the tel
ephones on the whole line into the
circuit, SO the conversation will no
longer be secret Thus any other per-
son on the line will get chance to
kick for the use Of the line. II no
other person insists on using the line
the original takers can have three
minutes more for secret conversation.
Each of the boxes have an emergency
call, which can be reached only by
smashing small pane Of glass. If a
secret conversation Is going on and
some other patron has an important
and immediate call to make he can
send in this emergency call and oh.

The unwritten law Is always liable
to make terrible mistakes. often it
does make them. That Is why the
experience of men have found that
written laws conserve vastly better
the safety and interests Of society.
1t is true the written law makes mis-
takes at times, but 1t gives itself time
to think and to investigate. 1t is the
first characteristic of he unwritten
