WHY | LIKE THE MOVIES
By PEARL WHITE

From a very early age have had
q positive fondness for doing reck-
less things, and the more danger there
has been connected with them the
more pleasure l have taken in them.
! am not unique in this. have met
during my career a number of other
persons who confessed to having the
same strange tastes. Speaking for
myself a hum-drum existence would
bore me to distraction. l think l
would sooner die. For instance, when
! was child about five or six years old,
despite the fact that received repeat
ed warning from my father and moth
er, / used to delight in going out to
a rattlesnake den which was not far
from the house and teasing the rep
tiles until they made repeated jumps
at me. My father caught me at this
amusement one day, and decided that
radical action was required. / will
never forget the punishment that 1
got. but after that let rattlesnakes
alone.
Later on while still a mere slip of
a girl, / joined a circus. The most
dangerous end of the work seemed
to be that of the trapeze performers,
so begged until was given a chance
at 1t. / made good at this from the
start. My instructress, a lady who
had been doing trap" work for years,

cess was because / lacked the ele-
ment Of fear. She said that in this
profession many were called, but few
chosen, and those few persons were
all like me, utterly Indifferent to dam

HlTLESS BASEBALL.
Remarkable Record That Was Made
by Cy Young In 1904.

by Cy Young In 1904.
The proud record for pitching con-
secutive innings Of hitless baseball is
held by no less parsonage than the
Hon. Denton Tecumseh Young Of
blessed baseball memory. Mr.. Young,
better known as ICY" is the holder Of
several records in unusual feats in the
pitching line.
1t was back in April, 1904, that
Young proceeded to shatter all figures
in this line, and beforeAe got through
he had created new record in hurting
hitless ball and one which stands to-
day clean cut and without a spot or
blemish and without doubt the great
est piece of pitching the game ever
witnessed.
On April 30 against the Washington
team Young took Winters place In the
third inning, no one out, and pitched
out the game, retiring the next twenty
one batsmen In order. Young's next
game took place May against the
Athletics. Cy pitched the best game
of his long and honorable career that
day and retired twenty-seven Of those
famous swatsmen Of Connie Mack in
a row. In game against Detroit on
May IL Denton T. pitched his famous
fifteen inning to o game against the
Tigers. and In the first seven innings
Young set them down without a base
hit
This would give Cy twenty-three
innings Of hitless ball, or. in other
words, as far as the records show, six
ty-eight batsmen stepped to the plate
and were retired in succession. In that
same period the big Ohioan pitched
forty eight consecutive innings where.
I'm his opponents failed to get run
across the plate. After his great nc
hit-no run game against the Athletics
be pitched fifteen innings Of runless
ball. as mentioned, against the Tigers
with Ed Killian opposing him. 1t was
q battle royal, and the clever Killian
met defeat by score Of to 0.-New
York Sun.

Experiment Station.

Rotation Of Corn Advocated by Iowa
Experiment Station.
Diseases Of cornstalks and roots cost
Iowa millions annually. That is the rea-
son the Iowa experiment station recent
ly published a bulletin on cornstalks
and corn root disease. The station dis
covered a new disease which is char
acterized by falling Of corn where the
stalks were broken close to the joints
Such plants contained only small ears
or they were barren. When a farmers
attention was called to this condition
the statement was usually made that
the stalks were blown over by the
wind or that the trouble was caused by
the corn root louise or corn root worm.
The disease attacks roots, stalks and
the ears. It has not been determined
whether all Of these diseases are
caused by the same organism or not.
In many fields the corn was broken off
just below or above the joint. The
pith or soft material In the cornstalks
was destroyed and was brownish or in
some cases reddish In color. The fibers
were soft and easily broken of. The
station discovered three kinds Of
molds attacking the kernels, husks and
cobs.

Some People Never Satisfied.

We lived for awhile In a Korean
home, eating Korean rice, pickles and
seaweed, padding about in stocking
feet, sitting ON our heels In lieu Of
chairs, sleeping on stone floors with
our heads resting 81 on the customary
pine blocks which the Koreans much
prefer to pillows. But we had these
experiences only when we deliberately
sought them. The orient is the orient
