FEDERAL BOARD ID
 SETTLE R. R. STRIKE

Little Rock. Aug. 5.-Differences hetwenn the striking emplOyes of the Jonesboro. T.ake C'tv & Eastern Rail- way company and the railroad off cials arc to be submitted to repre- sentatives of the federal board of media ticn and conciliation. The agreement was reached yesterday, and J. w. w. Hanger. assistant chair man of the board. will be August 12 to hear the two sides. according to representatives of the laboring men. The federal board consists of Judge W. L. Chambers cha 'rman; MT. Han ger and M. A. Knapp
 Trairmen of the road have been on strike for several weeks. and despite efforts of the state labor department to conciliate their differences have failed to agree. Part of the regular !rain service between Jonesboro and Blytheville is being maintained by the men employed to replace the strik- ers.'
 One of the fferences that prevent ed the railroad officials and labor representatives from agreeing was the re-employment of all the strik- CTS. To reinstate all of them the railroad would have to discharge the men it now has employed, and this it refused to do.
 For two weeks officers of national and international labor organizations have been here attempting to settle the strike. Conferences have been held with R. L. Wilson of Memphis, president of the road, and c. T. Cole man of Little Rock, vice president.
 The labor organization officials who have been here are B. Corrigan, as- sistant grand chief engineer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers: E. B. Robertson, vice president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Enginemen and Bremen, and J. A. Farquaharson, vice president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.

 One fan is of the opinion that "Th 2 Matter With Baseball" is that the dear. old public has been baseballed 10 death. He thinks that because fl7ssball has become an every day oc- currf nce. and thaf it doesn't furnish the lure that it did before baseball becare 2 nart of nearly every sport lovers daily diet.
 Baseball" says the fan, "Should be mere on the circus order. Jrste3d of rlaying games every day only about three games should h. staged each week. That would give the fans a chance to catch up with themselves The club owners should advertise the games extensively-on bj]lhcards They should pass out hand bills and in this way. whenever a game is played it would bo sort of fete day for the town in which it is staged"
 Undoubtedly, large flock of mag mates vii view this opinion with horror. The idea of playing only three game week when the law permits from six to fourteen. And adverting via thse billboard and handbill route! Ye Gods and pickled devil fish! Doesn't the fan know that such procedure would cost the owners tToney?

FRANK BAKER N0 LONGER MIGHTY

 Alexander Pearson is the mana ger under discussion. He WAS handling the Uniontown, Pa, and the team was doing everything but winning ball games. Pearson shifted his batting order ...ulf dozen times in the hope that the cGhange would lift the team out of a batting slump But to no avail.
 Whereupcn, Pearson put the names of all his players on slip of paper and deposited them in a hat Then tion, the frs, name withdrawn to be the Iced off batsman, and second name to bat second and so on. The club, with its juggled linsup, won the game that day and followed it with 17 more victories, all in a row.
 Isn't Frank Baker eXerting himself or have they sclre real pitchers in that Delaware county league where the Home Run King" is rusticating at present? That big question and a vital one.
 Baker during his long career with the Athl tics faced some of the best pitching in the world-faced 1t anu beat 1t to 2 frazzle. He showed no weakness. He was able to hit prac- ticl2 lily every kind of ball that was served up to him. Year after yea, ne slugged far above the 300 mark.
 And now, this same Baker, playing in this bushiest of bush leagues is hitting for an average around .235.

The Story of the M@gio

The story of the Magi, as it is given
by the evangelist Matthew, is aston
ishingly brief and unadorned. He tells
us without preface that when Jesus
was born in Bethlehem certain foreign
ers arrived at Jerusalem.
He does not tell us how many they
were nor of what race nor of what sta
ton of life, although it is fair to infer
from the consideration with which they
were received at the court of Herod
and from the fact that they carried
treasure boxes with them that they
were persons of distinction. -
The most important statement In re-
gard to them is that they were Ma.
gians-that is to say, disciples of Zorro
aster and members of the sacred or
priestly order of Persia, which was
then widely scattered among the ORR
entail nations and included men of ey
allied rank. They came from the east,
a word which to the dwellers in Pales
tine could hardly have any other mean
ing than the ancient region of Chaldea
lying beyond the Jordan and the desert.
Their explanation of their journey to
Herod was that they had seen an ap-
pearance in the heavens (whether one
star or many or a comet they did not
say which led them to believe that
the King of the Jews had been born,
and they had come to do reverence to
him. Herod was greatly troubled at
hearing this and sent for the chief
priests and scribes to inquire where
the prophets had foretold that the
Messiah should be born.
They answered at once that Bethle-
hem was the chosen place. Then Her
cd, having asked the Magi how long it
was since they first saw the appear,
ance in the sky, sent them away to
Bethlehem, promising that when they
had found the young Christ he also
would come to do reverence to him.
Having set out on their journey, they
saw once more the celestial sign, and
it's motion was such that it guided
them to the place where Jesus was
Coming into the hOuse-for Joseph had

they saw the young child with Mary
his mother, and Frustrated themselves
before him in worship. Opening their
treasure chests, they presented to him
gifts of gold and frankincense and
myrrh. Then, being warned in dream
not to go back to Herod, they took an
other road into their own country.
The conjunction of the planets Jupi-
ter and Saturn is one Of the rarest of
sidereal events. 1t occurs only once

The Singing of Carols.

The custom of singing carols is still
maintained in Italy-indeed, on the
continent caroling at Christmas is al
most universal-and particularly in
Rome, where, during the season of AID
vent, Pifferari may be seen and heard
performing their novenas.
These pilgrims, who, by the way. are
shepherds from the Calabrian noun
tains, annually flock to Rome at this
season. Their picturesque costume is
thus described ..On their heads they
wear conical felt hats, adorned with a
frayed peacock's feather or faded
band of red cords and tassels. Their
bodies are clad in red waistcoats. blue
jackets and small clothes of skin or
yellowish homespun cloth. Skin san
dals are bound to their feet with cords
that interlace each other up the leg as
far as the knee. and over all is worn a
long brown or blue cloak, with short
cape buckled closely round the neck.
Sometimes, but rarely, this cloak is of
a deep red with scalloped cape"
