Umpire as DRAWING Card

Did you ever hear of a league hiring
an umpire as drawing card? Well,
that's what happened to Gerald Ryan,
who used to guess them in the Ameri-
can association. Gerald used to play
ball in the Texas league long ago and
made quite rep. This season he
has gone back to the Texas league as
chief umpire at the highest salary the
league ever paid-because at recent
meeting of the league magnates it was
decided that Gerald is we'll known
among Texas league fans and is well
liked, hence would be, an added attrac-

When a man is debilitated from the
effects of the previous nights debauch
he is frequently counseled to take "a
hair of the dog that bit him." the
meaning being that he should take a
little of the same kind of liquor that
had upset him. The saying is a rem

the burnt hair of dog was an anti

totally unlike in respect of the urgent matter OF

same Joey at the head Of great railroad, carrying
all the details of an enormous business under that

And on that old-time primary grade bench with
Joey sat lad named Clarence Gushing, with head
pronounced perfect for its capacity and divine Tor ts

More Reason For
UnCle'S Doing 1t

Because the Curtiss Aeroplane company of Ham
mondsport and Buffalo, has been taxed to capacity
turning out aeroplanes for the Russian government
since the commencement of the war, the San Diego
aero squadron must perforce wait patiently for
eight needed tractors ordered by the war depart
ment some time ago.
This incident in itself, doesn't amount to much.
The first aero squadron doesn't necessarily have to
have its aeroplanes at any fixed time and the only
harm done is that the public suffers little humilia-
ton of spirit, in the knowledge that the United
States must submit to delay no other nation would
tolerate moment.
But it puts the same old proposition up to Uncle
Sam-the Importance Of producing its army and
navy supplies in it's own workshops.
There is absolutely reason why a complete
aeroplane factory, dozen if necessary, should not
be equipped and operated by the government.
The time may come at any moment when the
United States will need airshps in hurry. TIE inn
portant part they have played in the present war has
given them permanent place In governmental
equipment, and proper wisdom and foresight would
seem to prompt immediate and adequate preparation
for their manufacture in government owned plants.

The illegitmate Norwegian child now has the
