New Operation Used

New operation tseu--
VIM. NJ. Crow, of Merlin, was OPP
Grated upon for cataract at the Good
Samaritan hospital this morning, DR..
Ed Bywater extracting the lens by
Smiths Indian method. This Is the
first time this operation has been
performed in the state Of Oregon.
While DR.. Bywater was in Chicago
he took special instruction In this
method Of lens extraction, which has
several advantages over the old
method. First Is that the operation
can be done at any time after the
patient first begins to lose his vision.
As soon as he is unable to attend to
his regular work he can be operated
upon and in couple OF weeks be
back at his work. Also with the In
dian method there Is no needing OPP
Grafton afterward to clear up vision.
which Is so many times necessary by
the old method. Another advantage
is that the patient doesn't have to go
through the long mental strain OF
having to go blind before the opera
ton can be performed, which is a
matter OF no small moment

BASEBALL LOSING STREAKS

There Is one baseball record that no club Is anxious to overturn, and which everybody concerned will be glad to let stand until the end of time. That is the record for consecu- tive defeats, hung up in 1889 by the Louisville club of the old major league American Association. On June 23, 1889, just twenty-seven years ago to- day, the fans of the Kentucky metro polls broke out in wild enthusiasm for the Co1onels on that day defeated the St. Louis club by a score of seven to three, and thus put an end to the worst losing streak the game has ever known. Up to the time of the victory over St. Louis the ColoneIs had lost twenty-six games insa a row, and the few wavering supporters of the club were on the verge of abandoning all hope that the team would ever win a game.
 club remains, and may always remain, the major league record. Only once has it been equalled in a minor league and it has never been surpassed in any professional circuit. In 1918 the Meridian, Miss, club of the Cotton six consecutive wal1ops, and had the worlds record in sight when the team fell down and won a game
 The record losing streak in the Ma tfonal league was pulled off in 1890, the year of the Brotherhood war, when the Pittsburgh club dropped twenty-three games in a row. The whole bunch of Smoky City players went over to the Players League and Guy Hecker, the new manager had to build practically a new team, get ting his material where he could The I,ov oII1b was always on the verge Of bank ruptcy, but the imperturbabIe and picturesque J. Palmer O'Nei1 nanag- ed to keep it af1oat and retain the franchise for the Smoky City. After the long losing streak the fans de- serted the sinking ship and gave their support to the Players league team, which included most, of the old Pitts
 burgh favorites. Games were trans ferred to other cities and even to neighboring towns in Pennsylvania a and Ohio and West Virginia. The club also set up another record that year by losing three games in day. During the season Pittsburgh had fif- ty players on it's roll at one time or another nineteen of them being pitch CTS. The club lost 113 games in the year.
 The American league losing streak
 record of twenty games was set up by Boston in 1906. Jimmy Collins, who
 managed the Red Sox from the first and who had kept the club in the first
 division and won two penants prior to the fatal year, was charged by the
 Boston fans with neglecting his duties, and the veterans of the outfit seemed l to go all to pieces As a result Bos- 1 ton not only suffered the disgrace of setting an American league record for lconsecutive defeats, but finished the season in the cellar, losing 105 games
 and winning only forty-nine.

George Burns, who has been in the throes of a. batting slump, appears to be coming out of it.
 Bancroft of the PhilIies is a good lead off man. He generally manages to get on base, and he draws a sur- prisingly large number of bases on balls. Milton Stock of the Phi1lies bats with 'tone foot in the water bucket, :" but he can hit the ball a long ways for a little fellow.
 George Foster was inconsiderate to say the least, to break in on that win ming of the Tanks with a no hit game.
 The present Yankee trip. covering five cities and fourteen games to date, has eclipsed all figures reached by the Tanks in recent years, if not in the entire history of the club.
 President Joseph J. Lannin of the Red Sox did not allow Fosters great performance to go unrewarded. Be- fore the worlds series hero had time to dress, after the game, a check had arrived at the clubhouse. The check carried an order for $1Oo and the com pliments of the Red Sox owner.

What is the essential difference be- tween French and United States gov ernment?
 The French president is not so pow erfu1 as the president of the United States. The French prime minister corresponds in authority to our presi- dent. But the prime minister is respon- sible to the two chambers and must resign if one of these votes against him, and the French president is elect ed by the two chambers instead of by the people.
