In the National. the Giants are

though Michigan was unable to push
over enough scores to more than
tie kalamazoo Normal, to 1, yes
terday. and although the fnneld
looked anything but varsity class.
one con- fnrtinx and reassuring thing
came out OF the game. and that was
the splendid pitching Of Miller. Put
into the game ~ almost . f0rlorn
hope, the lanky hurier proved that
he will pitch Michigan to some VIC
tories before the season 10 over.
Miller has been added to Robins on
he string OF reliable Wolverine
hurlers.
Michigan had several opportuni.
ties to win which they failed to
take advantage of. and Kalamaxoo's
score was q gift, coming as q re-
suit Of foolish play by Niemann
who allowed . single to 90 for q
double by bad fielding. and an error
by Caswell or the easiest sort of
play. The chances which the Nor
mails hal later TO score were also
the result OF errors. for only six

At las after is years. one Of

have surmised. Ted Meredith. the

OF the one-miIe relay on \ circular
track ir the remarkable time of

made In 1900.
Although the Mercersburg Mer.
curry ran the distance in worlds rec

handicap of over 20 yards. Ted
found the distance too great for
even his superhuman powers to

chance AZ the coveted mark.
Athletic annals show four names
that will always be associated with
"four-fortv' fame-Lon Myers, Max.
ey Long. Mel Sheppard. and Ted
Meredith. In 70 and the early sos
the name OF Myers resounded
throughout the civilized world as a
man who combined both the quail
ties OF a sprinter and the stamina
OF distance runner. Myers was
at his best from 900 yards to 1000
yards, and his record OF minutes
10 3-5 seconds for the latter dis.
tance stood for over % years, which
indicates what wonderful runner
he must have been.
Next came Long. Long showed
both speed and ease OF action--in
all. about the acme OF perfection at
this distance.
Sheppard will ever be remem.
bered because of his wonderful work
from the quarter-mile up to the
mile. Ills wonderful deeds in the
Olympic games will never die.
Z Meredith Is The present star. and
according to the best OF critics, he
is destined to at least equal the ef
forts OF the great Long.
Meredith did run a quarter in ~

mate that Phelan now appears as
champion OF a Senate measure to
take from all the people government
oil fields in California that are es-
sential to naval preparedness and
hand them over to private interests.
You may as well expect to gather figs

ests and associations like Phelan's.
This 40-000-acre California oil field

prises national reserves of oil relied
upon as fuel supply for the navy.
Its fate depends upon whether pri-
vate interests have sufficient pull
or the people of the nation will con-
Germ themselves in the matter.
Phelan's Senate amendment to
House Bill 400 is an attempt to skin
all the people for the profit of Cali

another grip on national resources by

YOUNG GIRLS
ARE ATTACKED

Mandan citizens are up in arms
over an outrage that was perpetrated
in that city Monday afternoon. Two
thirteen-year-old girls, Delicia Clark
and Enid Schafer, daughters of Arthur
Clark and Mrs. M. Z. Schafer of Man
dan, were attacked by two men on
their way home from school and as
a result both girls are badly bruised
and scratched from their struggles in
attempting to free themselves.
According to the story told by the
girls they left school and started
across the hills to pick flowers. Two
men came up behind them and Crap
pied with them, no doubt with a foul
purpose in view.
The two girls struggled valiantly to
free themselves from the grasp of the
Williams but to no avail. James Kun
KEEL, driving a motor truck, happened
along at this juncture and the two
men took to their heels.
The citizens of Mandan organized
and secured the hills in pursuit of
the Williams but their efforts to locate
them have been unsuccessful to date.
The two girls are still suffering from
the effects of their struggles but are
not in serious condition. q

THE WOOL FAMINE.

Clothes are going up-because
wool is going up. The sheep ranges
Of the world have never produced
enough to clothe the 5OO,000,000 of us
who wear wooden garments. And
now the millions Of soldiers in the
trenches, who must have warm cloth.
ing, are leaving little for the rest Of
us. It Is estimated that the armies
are now wearing out as much wool as
is grown in Australia, New Zealand,
South America and South Africa to-
gether, as fast as the sheep can grow
1T. And where that leaves us may
be seen from the fact that we don't
produce normally more than three.
tifths of our ownconsumption.
We have been importing great
quantities Of raw wool, but not for
keeps. We have already sent abroad
nearly 1OO,0OO,0OO pounds Of it in
blankets, not to mention all the mil
lions of yards OF cloth, sweaters, suits
Of underwear, shirts, socks, ETC., that
have gone to Europe.
It means prosperity for our wool.
growers. 1t means thinner and poor
er and more expensive clothing for
most OF us. 1t means vast increase
in the use of shoddy-wool used for
the. second time, or even the third or
fourth time, woven with a little new
wool. And it means that if you sue
coed in getting next winters suit
without any shoddy in it, you will
have to pay several dollars more than
usual
