asks, Are you a member OF the club?'

small application blank. which the guest
ilis out, signifying not perhaps 80 much
that he wants to become member as
that he wants TO go upstairs. When the
blank is filled out. Hopkins says step this

takes some small keys from his pocket and
inserts one OF them In A tiny keyhole which
the visitor had not seen before, nor per-
haps had guessed was there.

this mysterious blind door but when he ID

What Ford Is Doing

care they turning out Fords as fast
as formerly" writes an irquirer.
With the letter comes another with the
answer which astounds one.
The Ford company made 5S,329 cars
in March. That is rats of 675, 94S
cars year. On March % there were
turned out 2. 1853 complete cars.
Does this seen immense? Then lis
ten to this gossip picked up in Detroit:
The Ford company has broken ground
for buildings which will give the COM
pany just three times the producing
power of the present plant and will
hire rs, 900 to 10000 men. That will
mean a capacity of 100000 cars
year.
1t is understood that half of this will
be used to make tractors for farmers
selling at around $3.50 but this is I'M
official. The company right now is
200. 600 cars behind on immediate ship
ments, it is said.
What it means to build cars as fast
as in March is shown by these "straws'
-Four hundred and twenty-six tons OF
metal we're poured in one day by 3,ooo
men; four and half tons of spark
plugs are used in a month, and there
are used 233, 3l6 wheels and tires and
291 ,645 lamps, 100000 square feet OF
rubber cloth and $3.50, 600 feet of cop
per tubing in the radiators.
Ford cars now in operation generate
more horsepower than all the horses
living in the United States.

Owing to the rain, the base ball
game scheduled to play last Sun
day was postponed but will be
played next week with the Yer
non Athletic club of Denver.
The home team has been prac-
ticing very faithfully aud promise
to do their best in their first game
of the season.
A large vein of lead and iron ore
shas been opened out in No. 3 raise
OF the Onondago Mines Co., which
is appa rently new ore chute from
any yet discovered in the mine.
tWork is being pushed ahead on the
station being constr ucted at the
Ioo-foot level, after which drifting
will be commenced on the new ore
vein.
Though at the present writing
the road to the Santiago mine in
Argentine will not permit hauling,
all of the leases at the mine are
continually breaking ore for ship
ment. Ernest Miller, who is man.
aging the operations of the Han
son Leasing company, brought
down ore last week which returned
$40 to the ton in assay values.
Numerous others leasing at the
same mine have large quantities of
ore ranging from $50 to $40 to the
ton, SO that as soon as shipping is
renewed the tonnage will be hea-
vier than for some time. Added
z. o this, the increase in the values
of the ore promises handsome re-
turns to the operators.
The systematic sampling of the
sdumps at the Colorado Central
mine still continues to show favor
able results. The Ocean Wave
dump. which in the opinion OF
many of the older miners of the
district, will show values far in
excess of those returned from the
Central, will be commenced in the
near future. The work of catch
ing up the numerous caves in the
Marshall tunnel is progressing
very satisfactorily, and the inter-
ested parties express themselves
as being perfectly satisfied with
returns to date.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-05-28

At one point in the Anzac region Turkish
sniper was giving the English some trouble,
and an Irishman who was a good shot was
told off to deal with him. For the next few
minutes the two, at no great distance, took
turns in trying to account for each other.
At last the Turk wounded the Irishman.
Then those who were watching the marks
manship contest saw the Turk creep cautiously
from his shelter, leaving his rifle behind him.
He crossed the space to his enemy and assisted
him in binding up his wound from the emer
gency kit with which each British soldier is
supplied. Then the two men shared a drink
of water and some smokes and the Turk crept
back to his trench.
1t is long, long way from the Turk "set in
authority" and entering into pacts with Ger
many to the simple minded individual sitting
cross-legged in a coffee house smoking
narghieh, reclining by his "sweet waters"
making kef or even fighting a war in the
trenches for a cause in which he himself is

Old And Cy Young was still pitching

"As a rule" continued the Duke, "if
a kid of twenty or twenty-one reported
to a club he was sent back to grow up
and get six or seven years experience
before he was considered ripe for fast
company. But if ball player reported
with luxuriant growth of whiskers the
odds were all in his favor, as he carried

turity."
But the call for speed has displaced
the oldtime heavyweight and his brush.
The drive of the modern game demands
youth-youth unencumbered by any
added weight around the upper lip or
the face. The ball player of thirty-two
to-day is trying to look and act as if
he were nineteen or twenty. He knows
what the manager thinks of advancing
years. Hence the disappearance of
whiskers and such that were at one time
a hirsute sesame into the portals of
play.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-05-28
By Granfand Rice

cruits who broke into baseball were
from twenty-six to thirty years old.
They had to be grown men, in the main,
before any club wanted them. There
were a few kids around twenty or
twenty-one, but they were exceptions in
the big leagues. We regarded players
as youngsters then who to-day, at the
same age, would be called veterans or
has-beens. 1t strikes me as funny to
hear beardless young men like Cobb,
Collins, Baker and others under thirty
referred to as having passed their
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-05-28

TIME day of the mustached and be-
whiskered athlete in baseball
has been over for number of
summer moons In the present epoch
many players are rated as has-beens
and turned adrift as being worn out
veterans before they are old enough to
develop first class crop of whiskers.
Duke Farrell, the veteran catcher, was
discussing this change from the old
fashioned dynasty Of swat
"In the old days" said the Duke,
thirty or thirty-fve years ago, the re-
