which was in a cellar in Cheputepec. 1t was o. the suggestion of Carranza
that Miss Estrada came to this country, in order to learn English. She de-
cided, however, that she might also learn wireless telegraphy at the same
time, and, therefore, has studied 1t during her stay here.
She is living with Mrs. s. T. Macauley at the Alabama apartments, but
expects to return to Mexico, where her mother now is residing.
Miss Estrada suffered Imprisonment when she was captured by the fol-
lowers OF Huerta, and was threatened with death. While in prison, however,
forces opposing Huerta came upon the town, Mazapn, in the state of Zacate-
cas-, and after a battle which Miss Estrada witnessed from a window in her
cell, defeated the Huerta forces and subsequently rescued Miss EHada.

No ship should stay on top of the
water unless that part Of it beneath
the surface displaced as much water
as the ship weighed. If the volume Of
water SO displaced was lighter than
the ship, the latter would sink. 1t is
a principle Of nature that lighter things
pass above those Of greater weight.

"The bureau has been defernng the campaign for marketing the gray
fish, pending the effort to obtain pack sufficiently large to supply the demand
that will be created. While the quantity available this year will not be so
large a IS was originally arranged for, owing to the late date that the packing
began, in October, it is expected that the amount will suffice for a demon
straton to both the public and the Gamers that the fish is destined to be an

ordinary hurting, but couldn't over
come the mushiness of the box corps.
As soon as the pitching became
fairly effective the New Workers set
out on a squirt, which has resulted in
IL straight wins, being every game
played in the west. The team wasn't
in slump, and neither are the Cubs.
Furthermore, no team which hits
as the Giants and Cubs do is liable
to fall into slump and lose it's pep.
So long as a player is getting his fair
allowance Of base hits he is inter
ested in life, and does not become
discouraged. In spite of their string
of defeats the locals have played
good baseball They have fought
for every battle, batting and fielding
in a determined manner, and hoping
for some fairly tight hurting.
The whole thing is a question of
heaving, and for the present the
blame for a second division berth
must rest on the pitching string.
Tom Seaton showed how little a
bit of running should hurt a strong
man aILeF ne LTlpled IN the NTH yes
terday. The pitcher had to sprint
to reach the far corner, and was then
forced to speed to get home on a
sacrifice fly. But he Immediately
went out and pitched three of his

to tired feeling from that triple.

the heroic mood made famous by the
Oyster Bay teeth.
1t is a burning shame that a team
which has the great attacking
strength of the Cubs should be
shackled down in the second division.
Hard and timely batting has featured
nearly every game of the Cub home
stand, even Alexander being attacked
by the locals in body for three runs
in one inning.
This fine bit of offensive driving
was nullifed by some mediocre pitch
ing after the lead was secured. And
that same failing has marked game
after game. The pitchers, with the
exception Of Jim Vaughn, have sig
nally failed to hold up their end of
the proceedings and have been easily
pestled aside.
The team has batted in ten runs
and watched victory slip away. It
has on more than one occasion
cracked five runs across the plate,
only to see the enemy come from be-
hind, break down the pitching guard
and step into the lead.

.RExALL STRAW VOTE
INDICATES ELECTION
OF PRES. WILSON

AS announced last week, the eight
thousand ReNall Drug Stores OF the
United States are conducting the great.
est straw vote on the candidates for
president ever attempted in the United
States. Every patron who enters one
Of these stores is requested to express
his choice for president. and the Du-
pont Pharmacy today posted the sec
| ond returns. While the vote is com.
paratlvely small, It is probably fair
general expression OF the public senti-
ment.
In both the popular and the electoral
vote President Wilson Is the fayorite
Out OF a total OF 260.s02 votes cast.
Wilson received 15O.327, against no.
AS for Hughes. The vote indicates
that Wilson will receive 2s3 electoral
votes. and Hughes 24s. The total cleo
toral vote is 53l. and 266 are neces-
sary for choice.
The state and the electoral vote OF
each indicated TO be for Wilson are as
follows:
Northern States.
Arizona 3. Colorado 9. Delaware 3.
Kansas 10. Maine 6, Minnesota IL, Ne

According TO these figures Wilson
will have a majority OF 50 in the cleo.
toral college. 1t shows too. that the
President can win without the State
OF New York, which has an electoral
vote OF i5. In this state the popular
vote is very close, indicating that II Is
doubtful. Hughes has less than one
thousand majority. Nevada is in the
Hughes column. with a majority OF
