CHICAGO HOLDS RECORD FOR AUTO DEATHS
FIGURES SHOW WINDY CITY WORST OFF


New York, Sept. IS. More peo-
pie have been killed and injured by
automobiles on streets of American
cities during this year than in all the
Zeppelin raids on England. Chicago
is the leader with more than 200
deaths between Jan. 1 and Sept. 1.
New York runs second.
These figures, compiled on reports
from a score of cities, are based upon
police records, which show a con-
stantly growing death list as result
of automobile accidents, despite i'm
proved traffic laws.
In the cities from which reports
were available, figures up to Sept. 1
show that total of 1,040 persons
have been killed and more than 5000
injured. Only partial lists Of injured
were received and it is possible that
the complete toll would show almost
double this number.
In Zeppelin raids on England to
date about 368 have been killed and
$40 wounded in two years.
Police, reports show 1853 persons
killed and 4, 484 injured on the streets
of New York up to Sept. l.
Chicago records show EOS killed,
while Philadelphia reports SO.
In Detroit 60 were killed and 2,715
injured up to Sept. 1, as compared
with 81 killed and zoos injured dur
ing the same period last year. Los
Angeles reports 81 killed and Column
bus, O., 40.
In many cities heavy penalties are
being inflicted for driving a car while
intoxicated and other remedial meas
ures are being considered.
Reports of fatalities and injuries
in cities other than those already
mentioned follow:
San Francisco, 80; St. Louis, 81
killed; Cleveland, 80; state of Iowa,
80 killed, 400 injured; Des Moines,

STOVE LEAGUE BASEBALL IS
THE SAME OLD STUFF
BY Mark Shields


Throughout these United Except
today States there is considerable
bitterness being spent today. The
cross and doubIe-cross vie for supre-
macy on the ballots. \.
But national election bitterness is
a summer zephyr compared to what
will happen when the National
league next gets into session and
when the time comes for choosing
men to sit on the national commits
sion. Some National magnates and
several connected with the American
league are considerably het up, &C
cording to their statements, over
John McGraw's charges aimed at
the New York Giant baIlplayers.
Johns criticism is a blot on baseball
and various other things, according
to some people.
A few of the noble athletes con-
nected with the Giant payroll have
threatened, it is reported; to quit the
game rather than play another year
under the management of the little
corporal. An apology from McGraw
would DIacate these fellows, it is said,
and Giant officials are believed to be
irving to get McGraw to make such
an apology. I
Ali of this is fine material for the
American league in cities where the
fight is hot between Ban Johnson's
organization and the parent major.
Chicago already favors the Ameri-
can, but St. Louis, Philadelphia and
especially New York have been Civ
ing the National the edge recently.
To further keep the winter league
stove fired up, Johnson and Dave
Fultz are bombarding each other
with statements regarding alleged
clauses in contracts by which play
ers are not paid during vacations
caused by injuries on the field. Ban
says such a clause does not exist in

a paper emDOQylnS SUCH puIdSGJ
and Ban says it is an old contract,
now obsolete.
The bombar6ment is causing no
casualties except among the innocent
bystanders who must read the stuff.
After the New York business has
been thoroughly milled over for all
the political capital that can be made
from it, nothing will happen. The
same goes for the Flltz case.
After Saturdays gridiron upsets
there still remain critics who rush in
with predictions Of what will happen
next Saturday. The bravery of these
boys must be admired. On what has
happened so far, our guess is that
Indiana will swamp Ohio and North
western will be a faded, dragged
Purple after Iowa gets through.
This, of course, is directly contrary
to the drift Of the dope and COM
parative scores, but dope and COM
paratiYe scores this season are about
as valuable as the Democratic vote of
the 25th ward.
Ohio and Northwestern coaches,
learning from what has happened to
Minnesota and Wisconsin, are taking
no chances. There will be no second
string ine-ups, no matter how weak
the opposition appears, and each will
try for a clean slate until they come
together in mortal combat Nov. %.
Chick Harley, Ohio states star
halfback, is to be given a paid-up life
insurance policy by Buckeye grad
yates. Chick should receive this
valuable paper before the North
western game.

DRUGGIST TOOK A CHANGE
Youngster Seeking Toothpaste Knew
Only That He Was "Mamma's
Boy" But 1t Was All Right.

The other day a bareheaded little
boy, apparently between three and
four years old, went into the drug
store of James Whitney in Muncie and
said to the proprietor: II want a
quarters worth of toothpaste." After
Mr.. Whitney had wrapped up the pack
age and given it to the lad, the latter
said, "Charge this to mamma"
"Whose boy are you?" asked the baf-
fed druggist, who failed to recognize
the youngster.
"Why, I'm mammals boy" said he,
and could not be induced to tell his
name.
II thought I'd take q chance on the
kid, anyway" said Whitney, in relat-
Ing the story, because l figured out
that no boy of that age would ask for
tOOthpaste unless he had been sent by
an elder person. IT ne had asked fol
candy, it would have been different
And sure enough, had read human ma
ture correctly for two or three days
later a well-dressed woman, whom
had never seen before, entered the
store, and approaching me, said, Die
my little boy get some toothpaste in
here the other day?

quarter and walked out without saying

Monoclonius Itself Again.

A mOnOclOniuS, only few million
years old, but scrambled apart like
Humpty-Dumpty, has been put tOgeth-

mounted in the American Museum Of
Natural History. Mr.. Brown found
his three-horned dinOsaur, with it's five
foot skull and relatively small brain,
entombed in the rocks of Alberta, Can
ada, where it once had rOamed through
tropical glades. Hardly piece was
missing of the IL feet from tip of tail
to nose. But the pieces had to be
sorted. This cretaceOus, herb-eatiDg
animal was rich in toes and teeth. In
the mouth, which was guarded by a
horny sheath, nestled 60 teeth, 80 in
each jaw and double rooted. Five toes
graced each Of the front and hind feet.
Many of these toes were adorned by
hoOfs. The specimen is considered q

Rows Become Scarce.

For the first time in more than 20
years the Children's Aid society al
New York is unable to furnish enough
boys to families who want either to
adopt them or care for them until the
boys become of age. The reason for
this is the campaign for military pre-
paredness and the great demand for
workers in war munitiOn factories.
Almost every day letters come to
the society headquarters asking for
boys who have been trained at it's farm
school.
