WANTS EAR MUFFS
"Hcinie" Zimmerman in Effort to Be a Nice Boy, Will Fill His Ears With Cotton.

Chicago, ILL, Feb. s-Heinie zim- hear the sarcastic epithets hurled at him this summer by opposing players if a scheme planned by Manager Joe Tinker materializes. Listening to bit ing remarks and replying to them has often upset Zimmerman and caused him to play erratically. Tinker hopes to prevent this hereafter and this is how he expects to do it:
 'I have been reading Hans Wag- ner's stories in The Daily News with a great deal of interest,"" said Tinker, and one of them suggested scheme to me that, I am sure, will help Zlm- merman l do not think he will have serious objections when 1 explain the value of it.
 You know, one of Heinie's worst faults is to listen to the opposing players on the bench and then to re- tort to their provoking remarks. These players are ordered by their managers to ride him to get his goat,
 and it does. And when it does he be- comes rattled, forgets about the ball game and makes some play that is costly. l think I have found a way to stop that.
 wagner III one or ms articles told of how certain players are annoyed by the taunts and gibes of coacherS. He dWelt on Frank Killen and nar- rated how silly chatter unsteadicd him, and then how Connie Mack. then manager of the Pirates, cured him by having him stuff wads of cot l ton in his ears. That was a bit of 1 pleasing information to me and I q m going have Iin m do if 1 to cure him of kidding with the coach CTS and opposing players.'

Atlanta, Ga, December IA
Atlanta is becoming rival of
New York in the number of auto
mobile accidents, the latest fla
grant case being that of Miss
jeanette Dearybury, a beautiful
l7-year-old girl, who was run over
and killed on Pcachtree street in
the heart Of a city by car which
was running at high rate of
speed on the wrong side of the
roadway. The driver did not stop
the car after striking the girl, but
iept on at full speed.
Hardly week passes in At
lanta without fatal accident Of
this or similar nature, and the
danger TO pedestrians has become
50 great that vigorous demands
have been made upon the police
authorities to enforce the laws
and ordinances against reckless
driving. Recently a newly paved
street, where automobiles found
an opportunity Tor speeding, has
been guarded by dozen special
officers in space of less than a
mile in order to stop the speed
demons who were making life
miserable for residents of the
thoroughfare.

WHAT PED CROSS SEALS
DO

Here are six ways in which
the money you spend for Red
Cross Christmas Seals may be
used: :.
(1) tuberculosis patients who
are in need of food, clothing, san
atorium care or other necessities
may be relieved.
(2) A visiting nurse may be
engaged to go out to the homes
of the poor and give instruction
and advice on the treatment and
prevention of tuberculosis. She
is a most valuable educational
and preventive agency.
(3) A special campaign for a
city or county hospital may be
carried on, and the community be
thereby induced to assume its
share of the tuberculosis burden.
Thus your money is multiplied
MANIFOLD.
"A d1spensary may be main
tanned where patients and their
families may call for free advice

Is Open air schools and fresh
air classes may be started, where
boys and girls who have tubercu-

may be built up in body and
