Chivington Not Alarmed
Over A. A. Difficulty

CHICAGO, March 15.-Thomas ChiN-
inSton. president of tho American Base
ball Association, is alarmed over the
possibility of disruption of the associa-
ton, in spite of a statement by George
Tebeau, owner Of the Kansas city clup'
that he would sooner form another CIR
cult than accept short playing sched-
ule framed by Timme, OF MILWAUKEE,
and Cantiltun, Of Minneapolis
There is every probability that Tc-
beau and the others will reach an ami

ton in plenty of time for the season

ters did. No doubt the great ma
jority OF the people go 10 moving
picture shows for the same reason
that people used to flock to see the
cheap melodramas: Their desire TO
see the enactment of something
thrilling. something wonderful-to
see hgirbreadth escapes. and lovely
women rescued from villains and at
tempts to kill people, and that kind
Of thing"
This may not be the most clcvat-
ing thing in the world. but il must
be remembered that while the old
fashioned Bowery melodrama was
blood and thunder from beginning
to end, the moving picture show
always gives something else. Along
with the melodrama the people get
many improving and instructive
things-pictures showing the raw
ages of war and the dullness ana
squalor of modern military service;
scenes at foreign capitals. and on
the sea; pictures of beautiful and
graceful animals. and the like.
The swift variety OF the scenes
shown on tho films may tend 10
make the future generation swallow
scatter-brained. impatient or contin-
ued application, as some social phil-
osopher fears; but the moving pic
ture certainly conveys great deal
of harmless amusement and lasting
instruction. and, as Mr.. Woods
seems to have proved, it takes the
men and boys away from the places
and courses that must do lhcm
great deal of harm.

MANY TROOPS HURT
BY WRIST WATCHES
Timepieces May Be Prohibited Fol-
lowing Great Number of
Injuries.

NEW YORK. March 15.-Thc Medical
Record says that the wearing of the
wrist watch in warfare has proved dam
gerous. and that so many injuries have
been reported that its use I'm the army
will doubtless soon be prohibited. II this
precaustion has not already been
taken"
German officers have made a practice
OF wearing the wrist watch, and some
of the rank and file of the German as
well as other armies have followed the
custom. The watch is worn on the left
wrist.
The effect OF the high velocity of the
projectiles when they chance to strike
the watch fairly" the Medical Record
says, is to shatter 1t into unrecogniz-
able fragments, many of which are
driven directly itno the carpal bones
and the contiguous bases of the meta
Carpals and the head OF the radius. The
wrist bones are laid bare and the thumb
may be nearly shot away"
SThe Medical Record quotes a descrip-

PHOTOPLAYS AND
PHOTOPLAYERS
Motion Picture Has
Become ActiOe
Agency For
Reform.
BY GARDNER MACK.

There are few people engaged in
the pastime OF criticising motion pic
lures who stop to think what the pic
lures mean TO a vast number of men
and women who can afford no other
form of amusement. They rail
against bad films-as does ever ybody
who is interested in photopiays--
but they judge all films by the bad
kind.
The motion picture has become the
poor mans club" 1t is the fairly
well-to-do mans club and the rich
mans club as well, so far as that
goes. But II is the poor mans club
idea that Is to be discussed here.
Not so long ago an eminent philoso-
pher and moralist dubbed the saloon
by this name. He said there was no
other place for the poor man to 30.
That was before the motion picture
was invented.
Instead of going to the saloon the
poor man goes to the motion picture
theater nowadays. Sociologists have
declared Tor many years that II the
average habitue of the saloon WAS
given u chance to patronize some
other form of amusement he would
not do II. He was welded to the sa-
loon. But the motion picture has
fairly we'll proved that he isn't.
IL did not start out TO be re-
form agency in any sense. But II has
become one. 1t - not an anti-salouu
advocate theoretically. But It is ono
practically. Robert \. Woods, OF
South End House, Boston. one OF the
most eminent social workers In the
country. has reached the conclusion
that there Is less drinking among the
people in the neighborhood he has
under his charge because of the intro
duction OF the motion pictures. The
man who was accustomed to spend
ing the evening at the saloon now
goes to the motion picture show
Further than that he usually takes
his wife and children with him.
The New York Mail in discussing
MIR. Woods conclusions, states edi-
torially:
Mr. Woods is very careful
man. who never speaks without thor
ough examination OF his subject.
One cannot very we'll doubt his con-
clusions. one good influence of the
moving picture shows is beyond all
doubt-they afford an immensely
greater amount of popular instruc-
ton than the old-time popular thea

Questions and Answers.

Q.-The following questions are asked
by one who signs himself "A Young
Fancier." p" What do you think of the
idea of dipping eggs in a vessel of warm
water, 105 to 10 degrees, on the eigh-
teenth day of the hatch Do you con-
slider it positively necessary that an ap-
erature be on the floor of machine to
carry off the carbolic acid or gas How
would a small cup of charcoal be to alb
sorb the foul air (gases) in machine?'
A. Replying to the first ques ton,
relative to dipping the eggs into warm
water on the eighteenth day: This is
very common among certain classes of
poultry raisers, but the idea is scoffed
at by most breeders. The idea is to
soften the shell and membrane of the
egg. in order that the chick may be
better able to get out. If this method
is practiced at all, the water should not
be over 100 to l03 degrees. 1t is not
necessary, however, if the youngsters
are strong and vigorous. Weaklings
only, need the assistance of man to lib
crate them from the shell, and ninety
per cent of these die after Matching.
Personally, / do not believe that the
breeder gains much in the end by help
ing chicks out of the shell and for that
reason do not advocate the dipping of
the eggs into warm water.
In reference to the two other ques-
items, relating to the gases formulated
in the machine and how best to get rid
of them, | have but little to say. These
are weighty questions for one to at
tempt to answer without knowing what
kind of a machine you are operating and
how you are doing it. Specific instruc-
tions are furnished with all irst-class
machines, showing how to operate them
and what to do under all conditions.
This has been determined upon only
after the closest experiment. These
directions should be followed to the let
ter for good results. Don't attempt to
try any new methods of your own with
another man invention. His ideas and
instructions are gained by a superior
knowledge of the machine.
