markable mail that he receives. Fol-

most amusing requests that he ever
received:
''The American people are at all times
anxious to secure anything, no matter
how worthless. provided it will cost
them nothing. Every days mail brings

DRIVING THE BALL.
Records Show That Golfers Can Guido
Baseball Slusgers.

Baseball sIussers.
~On several occasions debaters i'm
bued with the spirit of argument and
research have taken up the question
as to how much further golf ball
can be driven beyond n baseball wal
lop.
There are at hand no official records
ured to the ultimate inch and establish
ed as the last word In the case
But there is this to go on-Fred Mer-
kle and Hans Wagner startled the
populace on two occasions by driving
baseball over the left field fence In
Pittsburgh. This fence is 400 feet from
the home plate, and each drive landed
at least forty feet beyond the fence,
making total carry Of 40 feet.
Walter Johnson once smashed
drive over the score board in Cleve-
land, situated 400 feet from the plate.
This smash also carried about 440 feet.
So in the way of fight. not including
roll, no ball player probably ever
drove beyond 450 feet No man has
yet hit the center field fence at the
Polo grounds, which is 4S0 feet from
the plate.
A long driver in golf can frequently
carry between 225 and $50 yards. And
on one occasion Jesse Guilford. the far
driving wonder from Intervale, chris
tened the New Hampshire Siege Gum
smote a golf ball that few 312 yards
from the tee. This totals 936 feet. or
about twice as far as any athlete has
ever been able to hammer a baseball
on its way. There have been golf
smashes well above 1000 feet. but
these included the roll. which Is too
much a matter of baked out turf and
wind to be used in any official way

MRSHIPS IN WAR.
In Some Ways They Are More Effective
Than Aeroplanes.

Than Aeropianee.
While the airship Is clumsier and
slower moving than the aeroplane, 1t
has its own special uses In war. In
"Air Craft In the Great War;" by
Claude Grahame- White and Harry
Hooper. is this:
There are three points In favor OF
the airship, and none should be over
looked. She can remain In the air
many hours II required; even. In an
emergency. for several days. And In
this respect she has the advantage OF
the aeroplane. She can hover, too,
above a given spot, her machines
stopped and her car motionless. This
Is OF value In detailed observations,
and here again she has the advantage
Of the aeroplane, which can not hover.
"A third merit Of the airship. and
again a useful one. Is that she can fly
safely at night This provides her
with many uses in time of war; Aero
planes can fly at night. too, but only
at grave risk. II motor falls. and
the air man has to descend. darkness
prevents him from choosing a landing
ground, and he may crash into wall
or hedge. or the side OF house. or find
himself In the tree tops of wood.
"Hovering at the rear Of her own
lines, and fitted with q powerful wire
less plant, the airship can remain aloft
from dawn until dusk, her observers
watching constantly the enemy's battle
front, and signaling. while the news
has value, any change they may notice
In the position of the troops. For de
structlve raids. particularly at night
the airship has grim potentiality.
''The point TO be borne in mind, tn,
fact that governs the use OF an airshiI
In war; is that In a clear sky during
daylight, and away from the protection
Of her own guns or planes, she is large
slow flying and highly vulnerable. He
hull cannot be armored. fragile though
1t is; the weight would be prohibitive
So she may be crippled and sent t
earth by the accurate placing of a sin
gle bomb or she'll"

The idea was warmly welcomed. but
how could 1t be secured without

poor and what they had was not in

little money In circulation and busi-

suggested that all present engage in
