2. II was the Giants first victory after
five straight defeats and the first VIC
tory Of the year they have registered
over the phillics So there was much
rejoicing in the McC;raw camp tonight.
George Chalmers. the comeback artist
who beat the Giants in the first week
of the season, had his Marlin camp
mates guessing until the final frame.
HUT in the ninth they solved the puzzle.
when they finally did get to him they
inserted a cluster of timely hits which
aided by costly throw by Whitfield.
enabled the Giants to win a game that
looked like a sure quaker victory.
Though Arthur Fromme did the lions
share OF the work. Bill Ritter got the
credit for the victory, for the youngstcr
pitched the last two frames.
With two gone in the ninth and run
in, the Phllie fans were ready to make
a rush for the gates. Hans Lobcrt. who

THE GERMANS AND EFFICIENCY.

Since the opening of the present
war. German organization and eff
ficiency have been given the credit for
many victories. The German army
and the German people seem to form
a great and perfect machine.
The hundreds of thousands of Ger
man soldiers, who are now on the
lands between the Vistula and the Bug
rivers, where the country has been de-
vastated by the retreating Slavs, are
being fed as well as if they were at
home. In their flight, the Russians
attempted to destroy all bridges and
railroads and food supplies, every
thing that would aid the enemy.
But the Germans had made arrange
ments to overcome these difficulties.
The bridges have been rebuilt swiftly
by the German engineers. The rail
road tracks have been repaired. Food
and other supplies are now being fur
nished to the German soldiers as
well. if not as easily, as if they were
in the heart of Germany.
If headwork will win this war
headwork both before and after vic
tory-the Germans certainly seem to
have a good chance to come out near
the top.

WILL WAR BOOM WHISPERS! +!

From the Schenectady, n. Y, Union.
There are rumors that whiskers are
coming back. The war in Europe
seems destined to have the same ef-
feet on mankind over there that the
Civil War had on men of the United
States. War is conducive to whiskers
The Inconvenience of shaving. even in
this age of safety razors, puts a pre-
MUM on full boards. Then, too. a
beard gives a man a warlike appear
ance. If you doubt it, look at the pic
lures of some of the Russian troops,
and doubt no more.
If this style becomes obligatory we
may well engage in fasting and pray
er to escape fate so terrible. A look
through any old family album in ex-
istence is enough to give one hypO-
chondria. Those wooden old ances-
tors of ours with their long boards,
short boards, and. worst of all. those
long, luxuriant side whiskers. a la
Lord Dundreary. are worse than the
17-year-old locust.
Don't you remember the fat men
who insisted on wearing "burnsides?
Don't you recall with tears the spec
tacle some little shrimp of bow leg
ged, pigeon toed man about five feet
two inches tall used to make when he
sported long, flowing side whiskers,
who then completed the crime by put
ting on silk hat? And, worst of all,
was the chap who trained his long,
sweeping mustache to grow on and on
till he could pull it back to his ears.
There is no question but that a
beard on a man whose chin flowed
into his Adams apple without any ap-
parent dividing line was a help. 1t
is true that there are some men so
homely that whiskers which cover up
enough of the facial horror so that 1t
is safe for him to enter a jewelry store
without stopping all the clocks in the
establishment may be looked upon as
blessing. But these are the excep-
tions that prove the rule. We live in
a comparatively hairless age. For this
let us be thankful. If mans head
is bald, it's an act of Providence. If
he grows whiskers, Providence ought
to get busy.

have thought of: AS a result of the
parcel post competition, all express
traffic now moves much more rapidly.
Il realize that the commercial ship
per has had grievances Many boards
of trade have passed resolutions de-
claring the present postal service
lacks features of express service which
for them are absolutely indispensable.
such as receipts for parcels, indem-
nifty to an unlimited amount for loss
and damage and so on. Recently or
ders were issued granting the mailer
of parcel the privilege of obtaining
a receipt on payment of one cent and
increasing the size limit from ~ inch
es to "a inches, length and girth COM
bined. This will include the standard
commercial crate. The pickup, c. o.
ID. postage and further extension of
the size and weight limits will come
in time"
when do you expect to see the
Government ownership and postaliza-
ton of the telegraph and telephone
that you and other pOstmasters gen.
eral have been recommending?" was
final question.
THAT is hard to say. The control
and operation of all vehicles for the
transmission of intelligence should be
in the hands of the government. The
function is specifically reserved to the
government by the constitution. Tel
egraph and telephone utilities prop
erly belong to the postal service.
Whether this question appeals so
forcibly to the public imagination that
Congress will respond at once, is
another question. Personally, be-
lieve the time is not far away

The Missouri Writer'S Guild was
