Dwindling Labor Supply.

With the daily demands of labor for
higher wages and with the scarcity Of
labor very evident, the outlook in the
general labor market is being viewed
everywhere with apprehension. The
situation. there is reason to believe,
viii become more acute within very
few weeks unless there Is something
done to release large number of I'M
skilled laborers to harvest the nation s
crops, says the Electrical World.
The former vast army Of unemployed
has found work in industrial ccnters at
almost undreamcd-of wages. It is not
thought that the farmers of the West
will allow their crops to go nhar-
vested because of high wages Rather
is it expected that labor viii he given
unusual inducements to desert the mill
for the farm.
It is certain that there is not a suf-
icicnt supply of labor adequately to
serve both agricultural harvesting de
mands and those of the country 5 fac
tories. The difficulty undoubtedly is
/ largely due to the cutting off of i'm
migration in large numbers.

college this week is the return of the
surviving players ON the first inter
collegiate baseball nine which repre-
scented the institution in 1866. The
event Is made possible by the fact
that the class which graduated in the
year named viii hold its 50th reunion.
1t is expected that six of the old
time Purple diamond stars who got
away with the college title just half
century ago will be on hand to cele-
brate the event, and the pioneers of
the national game are sure to be at
forded a royal welcome. Plans are
under way for Il rousing reception in
which undergraduates and alumni will
take part.
The Williams nine of 1866 was
awarded the intercollegiate champion
ship as a result of a victory won over
Harvard, which opponent was faced
for the title at the close of the sea

BAN CRAWFORD, DETRoITs VETERAN OUT.
ElELDER.

Sam is not old in years. He is only
thirty-siN. just i'm the prime of his
life. But lac is old as an athlete. He
has served nearly as long a term in
baseball as amy active PLAYER in the
game. l think only Lajoic. Wagner
and Plank have played LONGER than he
has. l intvud TO use him from now on
as a pinch hitter.
ut seems to be the opinion that
benchcd Crawford on account Of his
hitting. | want to say that is wrong
1t is true sam has not been hitting rs
well as i'm former years. He has hit
somewhere around go But for that
matter ! might just as we'll bench
Cobb. lie has not struck his stride
yet either If Sam had the speed he
would never have TO quit playing tho
outficld for me. Ills hitting suits me,
but l expect To get advantage of it now
through pinch hitting"
The passing Of Crawford as a reglI-
lar breaks up one of the greatest out
field combinations i'm baseball But for
all Of his greatness and value to his
club he was never a star Of the first
ence of Ty cobb on the same club.
On any other club Crawford would
have been the high light of his team
and would probably have shared the
limclight Of baseball with Cobb instead
OF having 10 bask i'm the shadow of the
great Georgian.
"If sam had taken my advice" con
tinued Jennings. "hc would still he q
regular. Two years ago l noticed that
sam was slowing up, and l wanted
him to take up first base. We needed Il
man at that time. and | later got
Burns. Sam had played first for us a
times during our championship years
You would not notice that Sam was
slow around first base For that mat
ter he is just as fast now as most frs
basemeu. He can cover the GROUND
and make the short jumps. but when +
comes to getting over distance in tn,
outneld the legs are no longer able t,

Il am mighty sorry to have to ad-
init that Crawford IS through as a

as regular out!ieldcr. He has been
a grand player, and l hate to see him
go to the bench, but he has slowed up.

BOTTLING AN EGG.
Easy Trick That Makes Plain Some
Principles Of Physics.

4
If vou place an egg on the neck of
a carafe almost any one would say
that it is impossible TO put the egg
into the carafe whole. VT it can be
done, and at the same time al i'm
portant principle in air pressure can
be proved.
First have the egg boiled hard ami
then reel it. Make a torch Of folded
Taper, light and push it into the
carafc. After it has burned almost
out place the egg on the neck of the
carafc, small end downward, so that
it acts as . stopper. But be sure you
10 not push it at all.
The heat of the burning paper has
bv this time driven much Of the air
out of the carafe and heated what re
burned ont the carafe Will begin to
cool, the air in it becomes cooler and
therefore takes up much less space
The pressure Of the atmospheric ait
outside of the bottle is eXerted upon
the egg, which lenethens out gradual
" aad at last drops into the caraft
with loud "plump.'
In this way several important
| points in physics are made plain. First
| It is seen how heat rarifes the air ant
when the air in the carafe cools ere
/ atcs a partial vacuum. Then is provel
the fact of atmospheric pressure b.
| the way in which the egg acts. A
! last we see the egg forced in tn
H carafc. so that the air from withou

With the announcement that Fred
DAILY has resigned his position as ath-
lctic director at Williams college to
accept a similar place at Aadover acad-
envy, an odd coincidence has come
about Former rival football captains
at Andover and Exeter again find
themselves opposed to each other, but
this time, in the capacity of coaches.
Daly will be III charge of the Ando-
Yer eleven and Vaughn, another former
Yale player, will be football coach at
Exeter. Just 10 years ago this fall,
when the rival prep schools FLASHED in
their annual football game, DAILY cap
tanned Andover while Vaughn led the
Exeter gridiron warriors. Andover
won, 6 to 0.
Both DAILY and Vaughn entered Yale
the next year and the pair became
fast friends in addition to proving
themselves valuable to Old Eli rs
football men. Vaughn was chosen
captain of the freshman eleven of
which Daily was also a member. Both
made the varsity their second year,
DaIv in the backfeld, Vaughn at end.
DAILY captained the Yale eleven his
senior year Now both return to the
prep schools where they prepared for
college to take charge Of their re-
spectivc teams.

 Tomorrow morning at three" came the laconic word yesterday evening" preceded by the usual intensive pre- liminary bombardment, only little hotter"
 The ground gained by the British on July 1 and in subsequent operations gave the Associated Press observer a viewpoint from which &he whole line of attack could be seen. The faint moonlight enabled the gunners dimly to see their work the infantry and the contour of the ground.
 This is a real daylight saving show said one of the gunners.
 Seeming as the observer pushed audaciously close to the German line there was the greatest concentration of guns of all calibres probably ever made in a given area. From behind the German trenches gained on July 1, darted the dagger flashes through a blanket of night. One. two. three, four. for battery after battery was shoot ing at high speed from the bottom of the hillside to the top. The scene of artillery, however, was no less inde- scribable than the thrilling suggestion of the waiting infantry battalion lines which were seen going into position before the battle At the moment the assault started it seemed there was no interval in~ the thunders as the guns moved forward their curtain of shell bursts in front of the first wave of in fantry advancing across the zone be- tween their trenches and the German lines
 In the direction of Longueval a big fire was seen. IL was the village or a storehouse burning as the bright spot was growing to a steady point in the field of gun flashes. Then, soaring heavenward, went a rocket signal light which gave the positions gained in the attack. Commanders in the rear an- swered with other signals while what had been the German strongholds hali an hour or an hour before were burn ing red patches, spread with the sparks of roman candles This meth cd of communication is a difficult par of the business of directing an army under cover of darkness.
 At the first flash of dawn the frs British aeroplane came humminl from its aero room toward the Ger man lines and the sausage shaped ob servation balloons arose together into the air. Out of the blanket where tn, guns were flashing arose the whit flashes of the maze of old German trenches, the ribbons were roads ant finally, the dark masses became Nam etz and other now famous woods and the gaunt finger points the trunk of trees, which had shaded the hisn ways but now were denuded of limb by the shell fire.

 S160 IN BALLS

As a result of night raids by the police upon alleged disorderly houses $160 in balls, which were forfeited was netted the city by the police court yesterday. The night before Pearl Webster, John Webster, Sid Faulkner and Louise Faulkner were taken in custody and each deposited bail in the sum of $25 Anna Raven, Estelle Cooper, Fred Garguila and Mabel Kel- ley each left bail in the sum of $15. None of these put in an appearance in police court yesterday afternoon. In addition to the calling of these cases and the forfeiting of the bail money, J. NJ. Peralta forfeited $500 bail on a charge of riding a bicycle on
 the sidewalk and w Rudolph appeared and pleaded guilty to driving an au- tomobile over fire hose. He was as-
