TIGERS LOOK
LIKE PENNANT
WINNING TEAM
BY EDDIE" PETERS
Sporting Editor The Times
II the Tacoma Tigers can maintain the pace that
they set in their opening game with Seattle yester-
day. the 1916 pennant is cinched!
They played a brand of ball often seen in the big
Eastern circuits, but seldom witnessed on the dia
monds Of our Western burgs
They played sensationally cleverly, terrifically
fast They went after the old ball as though they
were untamed cannibals ready to devour the horse
hide pill at moments notice.
They made showing that did Tacoma proud.
They played better brand of ball than any Tacoma
team on opening day during the past five years
We few fans who had the gumption to travel to
Seattle yesterday hoping against hope that the
Giants wouldn't beat our pets too badly had the
glory and joy of hearing large crowd of Seattle
rooters lose patience with their own team and APP
plaud the sensational work of the Tigers during the
entire last half Of the contest.

the death by drowning of John Demo-
sy, aged As, and his sister Isabelle
Dempsy, aged 80, beides two houses
we're washed away, and the loss of
live stock, fences, gardens and small
grain was tremendous. From the
mouth of the canyon huge boulders
weie hing several ton were washed
down below, forming a gorge of from
five to twenty feet high in places.
Trees were torn out by the roots,
and everything before the food was
mercilessly swept away. TIE wife
of w. H. Fears, and an adopted son
narrowly escaped drowning, by flee
ing to higher ground, but their home
was total loss, amounting to about
$1,000 or more.
The storm began some time near
4 p. M, and hail about the size of
quail eggs fell to depth of nearly
foot. The hail was accompanied by
the most terrific rain, and is sup
posed to have been a cloudbuast, as
the water in the gulch was twenty
feet and more in depth. Tons of
loose rock were being carried for
ward by the big wave, and those
residents who ventured to look out
managed to save their lives by flee
ing to higher ground where they
later were cared for by kind neigh
bors.

Most children have seen and admired
the woodpecker Doubtless, too, they
have heard him pecking away on trunk
or limb of tree. What lot of knock
ing lie can do for such small creature.
There are five or six species of wood
peckers Familiarity known in the east
ern states. Above are shown pictures
OF two Of them. The bird at the top
is hairy woodpecker, the other the
downy woodpecker They differ chiefly
in size, their colors being practically
the same. The males. like those OF
many other woodpeckers are distin-
guished by scarlet patch on the head.
An examination of many stomachs of
these two species shows that from two
thirds to three-fourths of the food con-
sists of insects, chiefly noxious kinds.
Wood boring beetles, both adults and
larvae, are conspicuous, and with them
are associated many caterpillars, most
ly species that burrow into trees. Next
in Importance are the ants that live in
decaying wood. all Of which are sought
by woodpeckers and eaten in great
quantities. Many ants are particular
ly harmful to timber. for if they find
a small spot Of decay in the vacant
burrow Of wood borer they enlarge
the hole, and us their colony is always
on the increase they continue to eat
away the wood until the whole trunk
is honeycombed Moreover, they are
not accessible to birds generally and
could pursue their career Of destruc-
ton unmolested were it not that the
woodpeckers, with beaks and tongues
especially fitted for such work, dig out
and devour them. 1t is thus evident
that woodpeckers are great conserva-
tors of forests.

hysterical desire to ingratiate them
selves with parents or teachers some
children will steal money and other
valuables. but always with desire to
give it to others and reserve none for

Now, in dealing with any of these
forms Of theft the child must not be
accused of being a thief; neither must
his act be called theft 1t must be
clearly shown to him that the act is
not right; that he has no right to any

to the taking of valuables, and it must
be checked as soon as possible.

applies to all children. Early to rise"
is also a good principle for most chill
dren, but not for all. The child who
is drowsy and languid in the morning,
who begins his day lacking freshness
and spirit, should be allowed to sleep
longer in the morning until it has been
determined what the definite cause
may be, and irrespective of the bane-
