SOUTH MICHIGAN
MAY START YEAR
WITH SIX CLUBS
Adrian WithdTaWS and Unless
Another Town is Secured,
Seventh City Will Be Drop
ped-MuSkegOn in Line.

There is a strong possibility that
the Southern Michigan league will
start the season with six clubs. With
the withdrawal of Adrian from the
circuit a few days ago the circuit has
but seven clubs on the roster which
means that another team must be
added within the next few days or
either Lansing or Jackson eliminated.
1t IS probable that a meeting of the
executive board and Pres't James
Frank Will be held some time next
week to definitely arrange matters.
Musk egon is offering substantial con-
tributiOns for a franchise in the
league and it is possible that the city
may be given the vacant berth. Mus
kegon is a good ball town and some
fast talent is always on hand there
while the fans strongly favor the
class c organization
Board Will Meet.
Vice Pres't Ed Smith Of South Bend,
Pres't Lowell of the Battle Creek CLUB
and Eddie Wheeler, half owner of the
Flint team. who form the executive
board of the league with Pres't Frank
Will solve the problem which is facing
the organization. There has been no
official call for the meeting as yet but
indications are that the magnates will
get together for a final confab before
the opening of the season on April %.
The dropping of the Lansing or
Jackson club or the addition of
MuskegOn will make no material diff
ference in the standing of the circuit
which is as well situated as any minor
league in the country at this time.
Either the six or eight team circuit
promises TO be an attraction and the
magnates are not worrying over the
results this year although 1915 is ex-
pected to be slightly slower than
usual
Lake I'm Good shape.
Ed Smith received a letter yester-
day from Harry Lake. the peppery
Hoosier backstop, and Harry says
that he Will be on hand for the open
ing Of the training season, April IS.
He says he has been working out
doors all winter and keeping in good
form and expects record season.
Smith has opened his offices in the
Jefferson building and is starting pre-
liminary plans for the year He has
signed 25 men for the season and
there will be a plentiful supply Of re-
cruits TO gambol over the green at

up the holes in the diamond and
GrOundkeeper Bill Silver will prepare
for the coming of the players.
Ed Smith has offered to bet the
sporting editor of The News-Times "a
new suit of clothes that he Will sell
Curt Williams, the young Hoosier
hurler, to a big league club before
Aug. l. The sport editor needs the
clothes bad enough but is waiting un-
til he can frame it up with Curt be-
fore calling Eds bet. Unless Williams
falls down considerably every indica-
ton is that he will go to the higher
ranks this season. Curt last season
showed himself TO be the best south
paw in the league and with the train
ing he received under Ed Smith he
is almost certain to climb into the
exalted circles.

Of course shells fall in this village
where / am writing, where we rest. but
we can go another half mile or so to
the rear and be entirely out of the dan
ger zone. People are living there
again as before the war. They hear
the distant roar of cannon, but the
noise becomes a habit. Anyone who
wants a fine reproduction Of the front
when firing is going on-not battle
but the ordinary firing-has only to go
to some big construction work in New
York, where he will hear exactly what
we hear every day.
The blasting initiates the cannon,
the hammer striking the steel girder
gives the rifle shot, "a steel girder
when dropped reproduces a cannon
fire effect, especially through the vi
brations caused But the most re-
markable imitation is the hydraulic
hammer, that contrivance with which
a workman bores holes in steel. This
instrument exactly initiates machine

% DOC. 900 Home-Makers.

According to a bulletin by Mrs. Iris
Prouty OLeary on Cooking as a
Training for Home-Making Vocational
Schools" issued by the United States
bureau of education, home-making out
ranks all other trades in the number OF
persons employed, according to the
bulletin. Of the 100000 females
over ten years of age in the United
States, 24,000,000 are engaged in home
making. Mrs. O'Leary says: while
girls may enter other trades, the great
majority of women become at one time
or other home-makers. Wage-earn1ng
for them is but a temporary affair
which they will leave for a permanent
position in their own homes"
The bulletin lays emphasis on the
fact that cooking is a scientific process
and should be taught as such, especial
ly in the new vocational schools being
established

send for Amy Ferris. So the new dec
orator became known.
Not long after this a parish house
was under construction in Hartford,
Conn, and when the authorities came
to buy the furnishings it occurred to
one who had seen some of Amy Fer
ris' work that she was just the person
whose advice they needed.
So Miss Ferris was sent for, and she
went to work to plan out a scheme.
AS usual, she drew up very specific
statement of what she purposed doing
before she started in her work. There
wasn't detail in the whole plan that
suggested that the building was in
tended for church home. 1t was
Just as comfortable and informal as
though it were private house.
Surprised the Church Folk.
AS she showed her plans, some of
the authorities looked aghast. They
had associated parish house with
something dark and funereal They
never thought of having missionary
meeting and choir rehearsals and Sun
day school and prayer meetings in
such comfortable-looking place. But
why not?" Miss Ferris asked, and she
had her way. Another thing that sur
prised some Of the good parishioners
about the new parish house was the
basement, where the men of the church
had their meetings. This was actually
called a rathskeller and Miss Ferris
had furnished it in modern Viennese
style for all the world like one of the
Austrian cafes she had seen. why
not?" said Miss Ferris again when the
people looked surprised. 1T is a good
honest style of decoration. Men like
it and men are to use the room" And
so the plan went through.
Since that time Miss Ferris has be-
come leading interior decorator, with
a suite of six rooms, including q shop
where she has on sale all manner of
furniture and lamps, draperies and
other wares used in interior decor
ating. She decorates not only parish
houses, but churches, Office buildings,
club rooms, stores, town houses, and
country cottages and villas. One of
her most recent achievements was in
decorating the home for the women
workers of the New York city mis-
sion.

TAKES 20 MEN TO SAVE DOG
Dynamite, Too, Used to Rescue Ami
NAL From Cave Into Which He
Had Fallen.

Newton, n. Ut took 20 men and a
blast of dynamite to free Bob, fox
hound, from a cave near here. The
dog, owned by Robert Washer, got
into the cave through small crevice
while fox hunting with his master
Then he couldn't get out.
Washer worked at the mouth of the
cave all afternoon, but couldn't open
the way for the animal to get out. The
next day he tried dynamite, as large
a charge as he dared to use without
endangering the dogs life, but the
blast only loosed some of the stones at
the mouth of the crevice. The follow
ing day, however a score of workers
brought crowbars to bear on the rocks
and pried them far enough apart to
free Bob from his three days impris-
onment.

USED OIL AS LIFE SAVER
British Governments Recognition Of
American Tanker's
Captain.

Another striking instance of the
value of oil as a life saver at sea was
recalled when the British government,
through the Liverpool marine depart
ment of the board Of trade, present
ed Captain j. B. Johnson, master of
the steamship Lackawanna, and for
merly chief officer Of the Narragan-
sett Cloth steamers belonging to the
Anglo-American Oil company, Limit
ed, with a binocular glass in recog-
milton of his services while On the
Narragansett in assisting to rescue the
passengers and crew of the steam
ship Volturno, which was abandoned
in the North Atlantic in consequence
of fire, says the Pail Mall Gazette.
The steamship Narragansett first
received the S. o. S. from the Car
mania. Immediately on arrival at
the scene the former vessel pumped a
large quantity of oil on to the tremen-
dous seas, thereby smoothing the
troubled waters and greatly facilitat-
ing the task &C rescue.
Various other presentations have
been made in this connection. Cap
tain HARDWOOD of the Narragansett re-
ceived a piece of plate from the
board of trade, and gifts were made
to other members of the crew by the
same body.

Quake-Proof Homes.

Can man protect himself against
earthquakes? Japan says yes, for of
recent years she has been applying the
results of seismology to the construc-
ton of bridges, embankments, tall
chimneys and suburban villas. Built
on anti-earthquake principles, these
new buildings have up to now defied
Japan's persistent one-a-minute efforts
to shake them down. Had the houses
of Avezzano been erected on the JAP
anese rules instead of on bodybuilding
principles it is likely that there would
have been as little loss of life as there
was in San Francisco, where the steel
built houses cracked in all directions,
but did not bury their inmates under
shapeless ruins.-London Chronicle.

plant in this section will operate
through the summer season. Some of
the plants may be compelled to cease
operations for six or eight weeks for
repairs, but will resume operation as
soon as they are completed.
The great activity Of the window
glass trade is due to the war, the de-
mand for glass for export shipments
being the greatest in history. Much of
the glass is being shipped to London,
where it is being used for temporary
barracks in training camps. Before the
outbreak of the war Great Britain de
pended almost entirely on Germany

(Copyright, 1915, by the Mcclure NeWspa-
paper Syndicate)
When Amy Ferris wen to Europe 70
study interior decoration she wanted
to see the real thing. She was tired
of studying books and looking at pho
tographs and diagrams of the insides
of houses. She wanted to see with her
own eyes the rich and costly interiors
of the famous mansions and historic
castles of the old country. She want
ed to know how the dukes and earls
and lords who owned these places &C
tually lived in them. So she decided
to visit them.
But how can your" her friends
asked when she told them her inten-
ton. you don't know a single titled
person in Europe-and you have no
millionaire friends in America to in
troduce you to them"
Il am going to ask permission" she
said, and that is just what she die.
When she arrived in London she
looked in the various blue books and
red books that tell all about the no
bility and their estates and found out
what castles and mansions she wanted
to inspect. Her list included every
important earl and duke and lord OF
the realm. Then she sat down and
wrote a polite letter to each of these
distinguished men and told him that
she was an American girl studying in
terror decorating and would deem it a
courtesy if he would let her see his
