METHOD USED BY BOY SCOUTS
Employs Far More Efficient Plan of Artificial Respiration Than the
 Old-Fashioned Practice.

The competent Boy Scout can give the average bystander practical demonstration in the resuscitation ot the apparently drow1fed these days. And he doesn't subject the victim to the risk of dislocated arms or frac. tured ribs in the effort either, for the Boy Scout is taught a simpler, more easily applied and far more efficient method of artificial respiration than the old. fashioned practice of working the subjects arms and pressing on the ribs.
 Of course, a pulmotor would be a fine thing to use if one were at hand, but meanwhile every one should know and bo ready in an emergency to ap- ply the method of artificial respira- tion used by Boy Scouts, writes Will liam Brady, M. D., in Chicago News.
 It is performed as follows:
 Place the subject prone on the ground or on any flat surfaee-that is to say, 'on his stomach"-with the palms of his hands on the ground be- side his head and his face turned to the right or left Now kneel beside or astride his hips and press directly downward upon the lower ribs above the small of the back, by simply rock ing the weight of your body forward on your rigid arms. This movement forces air (and water if there be any) out of the subjects chest. The next movement is still easier-simply re lease your pressure and lean back and wait a few seconds; the natural elas- ticity of the chest will then cause suf- fcient rebound or expansion to draw in fresh air.
 Repeat this maneuver at the rate of eighteen or less times per minute by the watch, and you may be sure that no other known means, unless it be the pulmotor machine, will offer the drowned person such good chances o1 recovery. Never give up your efforts within half an hour, no matter how hopeless the case may seem.

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken in eeleo- tion of the Most Substantial
 Roofing Material.

If you were without preparation or plan, rudely placed in wilderness, your first thought would be of food supply and your next of shelter, for these are the two most vital necessi- ties of mankind. It is therefore natural that the best thought, and study are put upon these two essen tials.
 More forward steps have been taken in the building industry in the past fifteen years, as regards comfort, service and architectural beauty than in the fifty years previous.
 Only in recent years has the hand ling of cement in building work been understood properly, and progress is still constantly being made with it. Modern hotels and office buildings are being equipped with sheet metal mouldings and steel veenered doors. Nearly every important change in building construction is away from the fire hazard of wood.
 One of the most significant develop ments of recent years is the crushed slate surfaced asphalt shingle which is, on new construction and old, rapid ly supplanting the wooden article. There are many reasons for this. The slate surfaced shingles add beauty to any building-in fact, there is really no comparison from an architectural standpoint. Crushed slate of pleasing tints of red or green, is employed as a surfacing. The shingles are uniform ly eight inches wide and are exposed four inches to the weather. No paint ing is necessary as the red or green crushed slate is natural and therefore cannot fade.
 The purchaser, however, should guard himself against buying slate surfaced shingle that is not guaran- teed by a reliable and responsible manufacturer. There are so many kinds of roofing and shingles on the market today each claiming to be the best that 1t becomes necessary for the buyer to get some satisfactory assur- ance that the roofing or shingles are represented honestly.

Detroit, Mich.-Twenty-two times in the last fifteen years Mrs. Helen Ward has packed her clothes, the family pictures and china and quit her job as the wife of John F. Ward, a middle aged druggist and violin maker.

Snowball, Puff and Kit were dozing In the sun-that is, Kit and Snowfall were. Every once in a while Puff would open one eye and look at Kit and Snowfall to see if they were asleep.
 By and by he crept very carefully out of the barn and went down the road. Snowfall opened his eyes just In time to see him go through the gate way.
 Where is Puff going?" he asked runs down the road very often and he does not ask either of us to go with him."
 Kit licked his paws before he an- swered, and then he looked at Snow ball. With your knowledge of the world" he said, "I should think you would know where he goes, and why. He is in love. Have you not noticed how he sits around and dreams? He never runs about with us any more" !"
 "Yes," said Snowball. q have no- ticed that, but I thought it was be- cause he was so tired; he is out so late at night hunting rats."
 Rats" said Kit; "he isn't hunting rats; he is out walking with Gray Tabbie's daughter, Nina. They sit on the fence and talk and look at the he sleeps so much days"
 "You do not tell mel" said Snow ball. '1 never thought of love af- fair. We'll, Nina is very sleek-look- ing kitten," he said; "very sleek, in deed"
 It was some time after Snowfall learned of Puff's love affair that he was walking down the road one after noon and heard dog barking. The dog was dancing around tree and seemed to be barking at something in the tree. On the fence sat Nina Kit ten with her back bumped up and looking very fierce, but the dog did not look at her.
 Snowfall hurried to the tree, for he and there sat Puff on limb looking very much frightened. Snowfall flew at the dog and drove him away, for all the dogs in the neighborhood stood in fear of him. Then he jumped to the fence beside Nina Kitten.
 Miss Nina," he said, very sweetly, "come with me; I'll see you safely home"
 Nina Kitten hung her head and looked very shy. Then she smiled and said: "Oh, thank you so much, MT. Snowfall! was so frightened
 Snowball helped her to the ground and then he said: "It is such lovely day, don't you think we might hunt for catnip? can assure you that no dog will molest you while am here."

FRANK SNYDER MAKING GOOD
Regarded by Critics as Best Young Catcher Developed in National
 League in Many a Day.

If autos were offered for players who show greatest progress in their profession in their first year out in the big shows, then Frank Snyder of the St. Louis Cardinals surely would take a car home with him this fall. Opinion generally is agreed that not only is he the best young catcher developed in the National league in many day, but he also ranks high in the most valuable player to. his team" column. He has caught the bulk of the games played by the Car dinals. and Huggins would have been in sad way without him.
 Snyder was picked up in Texas as lad of eighteen by Jack Burke in the spring of 1912 for the Flint team of the Southern Michigan league, which Burke was to manage Dick Kinsella, scouting for the Cardinals

at that time, dropped into Flint one day in July in 1912 and his eagle eye spotted Snyder and he was one of very few players Kinsella thought good enough to buy that year.
 He joined the Cardinals in the fall and Bresnahan tried him out Bresna- han lost his job soon after, and Hug gins. his successor, shipped Snyder off to Springfield in the Central league as one of his first moves as manager. Snyder went so big at Springfield that Higgins recalled him.

 Comiskey has first claim on Ness because he holds blanket option on the Oakland team in return for play CTS released to that club.
 This does not include Johnston, who joined the Oaks later and is under op tion to the Cubs, but it does include Ness.
 However, the master of the White Sox will have the Oakland team looked over carefully before deciding which player to pick, and will not pick Ness simply on his record of hitting safely 49 straight games, although several other club owners are reported to be angling for that player.

President Comiskey has unbelted the information that he can have First Baseman Jack Ness of the Oakland (Cal.) team, who has been making rec ords on the coast, if he wants him. He isn't sure that he does, in spite of the string of 49 games in which Ness made at least one hit.
 The fact that Jimmy Johnston is running second to Ness among the Coast league batsmen and setting the league afire in other ways makes the work of Ness less impressive to- Comis- key than it would otherwise appear, because Johnston has had several trials in fast company with both the White Sox and Cubs in the past half dozen years, and has failed to cope
