BONEHEAD BASEBALL.
One Curious Break That Even the I'm
pires Did Not Notice

Baseballs champion foolish play was
made in a game between Washington
and the White Sox in 1907. IN that
battle Larry Schlafy was captain Of
the Washingtons and also played sec
ond base.
At the end of an early inning Schla1y
went out to telephone or buy a goat or
something and was delayed so long
that the Senators had three men put
out before his return.
The SOx came trOtting in for their
turn at bat. Washington took the field.
with only eight men and nobody on
second and the game went on that
way till Fielder Jones hit one straight
across second. Then, and not till then.
was it discovered that there was no
body on second base.
Incredible as it may seem, nineteen
men-seventeen players and two UNI
pires-had started the half inning in
this fashion and not one Of them got
wise till Jones hit shot over the
empty station.
Schlaf1y reappeared at this juncture
and the umpires decided that the hit
was Illegal when made with only eight
men in the field. Jones had TO go back
and bat over-New York Sun.

sensitize the glass plates, would dis
solve celluloid By the majority of
investigators this was accepted as
fatal,-but not SO by a Mr.. Walker
and a Mr. Eastman, two names that
were already looming large in the
Photographic world. These two young
Americans had already formed a part
nership and established a markedly
successful dry plate business in Ro
chester, New York. Working in CO.
Elaboration, they were among the first
20 attempt a solution of the pliable
I'm problem, and likewise among the
irst to direct their attention to ex-
Deriments with celluloiu.
First of all a new sensitizing prepa
ration was devised,-one that was
lighly satisfactory and, at the same
line, did not dissolve celluloid.
But this was only half the battle.
One other great difficulty stood in the
way of any adequate or extensive ex-
Deriments Celluloid was not then

Ifacturers of celluloid could see small

er as a scientific plaything. They
laughed outright at the proposition

necessary to an output such as East
nan and the other experimenters spe-
cited.
Consequently the experiments, mos.
/ of them with but little money in purse,
had to shift for themselves. They
made recourse to many devices. Some
of them reduced the celluloid to its
liquid and then poured it, in a thin
film, on plate glass to solidity. Others
took it in it's thicker and more un-
even form and endeavored to scrape
and sandpaper it down to a sufficient
thinness. Often when the labor was
just reaching it's last stages, some
mishap would ruin the whole thing
and the hours OF painstaking work IL
represented. 1t was a terrifically te-
dious and discouraging undertaking.
Small wonder that the ranks of in
vestigators thinned and thinned, until
only Eastman, Walker and few 9TH
ers were left.
But perseverance had it's reward.
Today the Eastman factories turn out
millions of feet of celluloid motion

ticaIly the worlds supply.

Free Dental Clinics i'm Badger Cities.

Free dental work for needy school
children is now being supplied to six
Wisconsin cities = GAINESVILLE, Madi-
son, Milwaukee, Oshkosh Racine and
Wausau, according to information just
compiled by the municipal reference
bureau Of the University of Wisconsin
Extension division.
GAINESVILLE has for two seasons fur
nished a room in the hall as a den
tai clinic and appropriated 500. A
civic club OF women makes up any
deficits. Local dentists have donated
their services.
III Madison the dental clinic, Or
ganized last March, is financed en-
tirely by the Associated Charities
Dentists donate their services and the
medical inspector and visiting nurses
cooperate.
In Racine, school children through
annual contributions, ranging from 5
to Is cent each, make up an annual
fund to supply free dental treatment
for needy children. Dentists have
been paid half their regular rates.
In Wausau, the school medical in
spectors report all cases of defective
teeth Such children as cannot af-
ford to pay are treated free by local
dentists.
In Oshkosh, the board of education
has included in it's budget $500 for the
equipment of a dental dispensary, and
dentists have offered their services
free for one year.

CHAPTER 5.

A new and vastly important epoch
in motion picture history was ushered
in, when the Investigators began their
search for a pliable film. Here they
had hit upon track that was to
eventually lead to those tremendous
possibilities, in both the amusement
and educational fields, which are, in
their greater immensely, still in the
future and far beyond present estima-
ton.
To appreciate fully the difficulties
that surrounded and hampered this
search on every hand one would neeG
a considerable knowledge of the chem
istry of photography. This very fact
that their labors and experiments
were highly technical, precluded them
from any extensive contemporary no
tice or encouragement. People gen
orally were oblivious Of their heroic
struggles and patience. They, even
more than their predecessors in mo-
ton picture experiments, worked IN
the dark, and always against odds that
threatened to overwhelm them.
This search for a pliable film did
not turn directly toward celluloid. AS
a matter of fact, the experiments with
celluloid came as an afterthOught and
only when seemingly everything else
had failed and the quest appeared
hopeless. Gelatine was tried, but its
Unstable texture soon argued its i'm
practicability. Then a paper, very
painstakingly refined and prepared
until it had the transparency of the
oiled paper now used in drafting
rooms. was called into court and at
first gave rise to some hopes. 1t
later developed, however, that the
fibre of the paper, no matter to what
degree it was refined, irreparably
nlarred the Photographic results. A
preparation of rubber, and other sub
stances beyond number were also
tried to no avail; then celluloid
However, there was a lot more to
the problem than merely thinking Of
celluloid. When the experiment first
turned in this direction, the objections
that arrayed themselves against the
new substance were a great deal more
numerous and obvious, in many re-
spects, than those that had convicted
the other mediums, already discarded.
Again the majority Of these objec-
tons partake of chemical technical
tiles, and will consequently be dis
missed with passing notice. They
found their accumulative result in the
fact that the preparation then used to

SuccuIence For Cows.

One of the fundamental principles in
feeding milk cows is that they must
have a certain amount of succulent
feed to do their best. Succulence sim
ply means feed containing their natu-
raj juices. The chemist may find just
as much nutrient material In a dried
feed as In one in the succulent condi-
ton, but the cow cannot. In the win
ter season silage furnishes the succu-
lent part Of the ration. and no farmer
milking cows can consider himself
fully equipped until he can give his
COWS their daily allowance OF succl-
lent feed In the form Of corn, cane or
Kaff1r silage.

Naminu the Gerrymander.

The gerrymander was christened In
1918, although it must have been in OPP
Grafton long before that. A stanch old
Federalist, Governor Elbridge Gerry,
controlled through his legislature the
redistricting of Massachusetts under
the census of 1910 In the Office of
Benjamin Russell, an ardent Repub-
lican editor, hung a map OF the state
as newly subdivided by Gerry and his
men. Gilbert Stuart's ready pencil
whimsically added to the outlines of a
grotesque district the wings and tail of
a dragon.
"Bar' he said when he had finished.
''How's that for q salamander|'
The Republican Russell growled,
Better call it a gerrymander." And
American politicians have taken his
advice.

Remedy For Sore Teats,

Here is a way of treating sore teats
that has been tried and found very
successful: To one ounce Of glycerin
add one dram of boracic acid. Mix
this in one-half pint Of warm water
and put in a narrow jam jar. After
milking put the teat In this mixture
holding the jar close up to the cows
udder, and let the affected teat soak
therein for few minutes. This mix
ture may be kept and used again and
again. A little touch with crystal OF
alum after this bath will help the
more obstinate sores to heal, but care
must be exercised not to apply any
thing that will cause the skin of the
teat to wrinkle and pucker up when
the sores heal. Oxide of zinc ointment
applied after each milking is also a
good remedy for sore teats.

the woods this year on account of the
fact that his back was so painful that
he preferred the hospital instead.
There he was carefully examined by
most competent physicians and sur
geons who were unable to find any
thing in the back to account for the
pain and disability. Following the
modern custom of the best physicians
and surgeons, however, these doctors
didn't confine their examinations to
the immediate location of the pain and
discomfort Instead, they pinched
and punched every part of his ex-
posed anatomy from the top of his
head to the soles OF his feet They
landed on two or three rotten teeth
and had them removed. Four or five
days later, the patient left the hospi-
tai with only one sore spot, and that
