Babe" Adams, Pirate Pitcher,
Has Oufgrown the Infant Class

Although he is still known by the
infantile appelation of Babe"
Charles 3. Adams, the Pirate pitcher,
is not so young as he sounds. Ac-
cording 10 vital statistics on the sub
jcct. Babe" was 81 years old on Tues
day. having been born at Upton Ind,
May rs, 1888. A Hoosier by birth,
Adams became Jawhawker by
adoption, and played his first pro-
fessional ball in the Sunhower State.
1t was with Parsons. Kan. in the de-
funct Missouri Valley League. that
Adams debuttod into the national
pas;imc ten years ago.
News OF the pitching prowess ex-
hibited by Adams began 10 percOlate
beyond the confines of the State made
famous by William Allen White, and
reached Denver. In 1906 Babe" be-
came a Grizzly in good and regular
standing. and his showing in the
Western League was such as to 'com-
mand attention in major league
circles. Adams remained i'm the Colo
rado metropolis a couple of seasons.
In 1907 he was given a tryout by the
ST. Louis Cardinals but was sent back
10 Denver. Late in the 1907 season
he was given another chance in the
main show. this time by Pittsburgh
but was turned down. I'm 1908 Babe
played with Louisville. and he pitched

he made one error. and in 1912 his
record was errorless Adams had a

Pirates with the swatting percentage

his high batting mark of .2S9. Last
year his swatting slumped to .165.

The Hen

Some poets sing of grove and glen; sing of the great Ameri- can hen. Let Dobson write of sweet Babette. and l will write |of Henriette. If Rostand can write "Chanticleer," why shouldn't l write this here?
 Altho polygamous her life. the hen is quite a model wife. She doesn't need an Easter hat, nor shopping for this and that. She raises chickens by the brood and scratches to provide them food. Her patience is without a match when she dozen eggs must hatch. and when occasionally a duck is born, with such friend ly chuck, she seems to say. How. now. my daughter. for goodness sake avoid the water. " The duckling to the water takes; then what a noise the old hen makes! She'll stand upon the shore and scOld while Ducky Daddles leaves the fold and, swimming out into the pond. quite fiabbergasts the mamma fond.
 This question we will often meet: Why does a chicken cross the street?" To which wiseacres have replied: "To get upon the other side. She takes her life within her hands when on the other side she lands. and lodging the fast flying wheels of trolley cars. automo- piles and motorcycles, she will strive into the jaws of death to dive.
 She may be foolish. we'll ad- init, and on a china egg may sit our grammar's wrong. we should say "set"-and with an awful stew and fret, a new laid egg will advertise. (It sure pays to put you wise). At least she earns her bread and keep, tho others may the profit reap.

David Partain, of Altus and Miss Beulah Owens, of Mansfield were united in marriage last Sunday afternoon at the home of the brides parents at Mansfield, Rev. Mr. Thompson officiating. The young people arrived in Altus yesterday and will make that their home. MT. Partain is one of the most promising young lawyers of Western Arkansas, and is at present fill ing the office of deputy prescott ing attorney in which position he has marked ability. Miss Owens is one of Mansfeld's most accomplished and attractive young ladies, and is in every way great addition to the so- cial circles of Altus.
 We wish them a continuous succession of briefs and suc- cessful termination of all the litigations of life.

The Social Obstacle

The greatest social obstacle in your way is yourself. How de- lightful it would be to mingle freely with your fellows without being heard, or seen, or watch ed or criticized! But you have to speak or keep silent, which is worse. You have to move, perhaps to tread on other peo- ples' toes or skirts. You do little things that afterwards in the midnight hours you regret as if they were great. You are so conspiciOus in your own imagina tion that you feel sure you are equally conspicious in the imagi- nation of others. That is an en- tire mistake, but it none the less tormenting.
 Therefore you keep away from the world, and the more you keep away the less fitted you are to appear in it, and more serious does the great social obstacle become. People say you are proud and self-sufficient. You are not. You long for the touch of others hands, and the sound of others voices, and the inti- mate contact of others souls. You have no exaggerated esti- mate of this self of yours that proves so troublesome. On the contrary, you sometimes detest it, just because it hampers you like a bruised muscle or tight skirt.
 The error of your way is per fectly apparent. You see peo- pie who are socially charming and successful doing the very things you fear to do. They make blunders and laugh at them. They say awkward things and then turn them into merry ones by perfect indifference. You VOW that you will do the same, but you cannot.
 What a pity! For in this way the social world loses those who would delight it most. The shy, the conscious. and the reserved are oftentimes the most brilliant and the most fascinating to the few who are privileged to know them; but in large, mixed com panies their place is too likely Ito be taken by the shallow. the bold, and the tedious, who have no hesitation whatever about inflicting upon others the meagre self they have. Remember this. and in future try not to rob your fellow men of all your charm.

Thousands Die h West


 tives go west in search of health every year. Such is an esti- mate made by the National Asso- citation for the Study and Pre- vention of Tuberculosis in a statement issued today based on recent investigations of the United States Public Health Service. The Association con cludes that there are at present between 100, 900 and POO, 900 con sumptives in the states of Cali fornia, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Colorado.
 Investigations were made during the past year by Sur geons of the United States Pub lie Health Service, P. M. Car rington in California, k. A. Sweet in Texas and New Mexico. and A. D. Foster in North and South Carolina. The National Association draws the following conclusions from these studies:
 CD Thousands of consump- tives attracted by the climate migrate every year to the West and Southwest. While no defi- mite figures can be procured, the facts ascertained would in- dicate an annual migration of at least 10000 and possibly 15.OOO into the states of California, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas.
 (2) From 30 to 50 per cent of these consumptives are hope less cases and in within six months after their arrival, the the percentage of those dying within 30 days running as high as l5.
 (3) A large, but unknown percentage die in almshOuses or are the recipients of charity, and the great majority of these could have been made comfort able in their last days if they had stayed at home among rela- ives and friends.
 (4 From 40 to 90 per cent of all deaths from tuberculosis in the West aud Southwest are of natives of other states. nearly 50 per cent coming from Illinois. Missouri. Ohio. Kentucky. Tenn essee and New York.
 (5) People who can afford it and who are not in too far ad- vantanced stages of tuberculosis will find the climate of the West and Southwest an aid in the treatment of tuberculosis.
 No one should think of going West and Southwest for his health unless he has at least $l. 900 above his railroad fare, and can leave his family in com fortable circumstances: and no one should go who is in an ad- vanced stage of tuberculosis or who has not taken careful medi- cal advice.
 CD Tuberculosis can be cur ed in any part of the United States, and it is far better for a consumptive of moderate means. such as the average workingman, to go to 8 sanitor- ium near at home. than to go West and live in g more favorable climate without proper food or medical care.
 (8) Finally. there may be plenty of jobs in the West and Southwest for able bodied men, but the consumptive will find the greatest difficulty in getting work, and no one should go West therefore in the hope of getting a job.
 The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis will send free liter ature or give information about
