manager, who is an adept at pinch
hitting, occasionally injected himself
into the game at critical juncture,
but he made no pretense of being a
regular. What playing Chance may
do is expected to be along these lines.
That he will play first base on the
opening day is very probable. 1t is
considered good advertising and gives
the crowd chance to size up the new
man at the helm. There are many who
contend that the manager who at
tempts loses in effectiveness as a
manager owing to his inability to con
eentrate on his own play and, at the
same time. watch all the details in
connection with the performances of
his teammates.

WEST GETS Big SHARE
Awarded Large Sums for Roads
in National Forests.
Allotment Of Million Dollars to Be
Spent by Uncle Sam This Year
Gives California $140763.

California will get the largest share
of the s10,000,OOO appropriated by
Uncle Sam through the federal aid
road act for the construction and
maintenance of roads and trails with
in or partly within national forests.
The tentative allotment among the ma
tional forest states of the million dol
lars to be expended this fiscal year
gives California $140,763.
The tentative allotments to the prin-
cipal national forest states are as fol-
lows: Alaska, $46,2s0; Arizona, $780,
795; Arkansas, $11.294; California,
S140,763; Colorado, $62,335; Idaho,
$10S,O10; Montana, $69,9O1; Nevada,

the eastern states, Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Virginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee
and Georgian which the government
is purchasing lands for national for
ests, have been allotted $21,057.
'In general" said Secretary of Agri-
culture Houston, 1.-THE states and coun-
ties will be required to furnish coop
Grafton in an amount at least equal to
80 per cent of the estimated cost of the
surveys and construction. However,
upon satisfactory showing by the
applicant state or county that such
proportion of cooperation is inequita-
BILE, 1t may be altered and the ratio of
cooperation fixed upon basis equita-
BILE to both the state or county and the
United States"
The method followed in apportioning
the money was explained by Secretary
Houston as follows: Ten per cent of
the amount available each year will
De withheld as contingent fund. One
half of the remainder will be allotted
TO the states in amounts which will be
based on the area OF national forest
ands in each state. The other half
will be apportioned on basis of est-
mated value of timber and forage re-
sources which the forests contain.
Amounts apportioned but unexpended
within three years, and any balance of
he contingent fund which remains un-
lpportioned at the end of each year,
will be reapportioned on the same
)asis as the original allotments.

LAUREL MAY DlSPLACE BRIAR
Roots Found in American Mountains
to Be Used in Making Pipes in
Place of French Wood.

The briar pipe so familiar to the
smoker may give way to the laurel
pipe, as a result of the scarcity and
most pipes have been made. A sale
of large quantity of mountain laurel
roots from one of the national for
ests in the southern Appalachians has
been reported by officials in charge,
who say that the roots will be used
to make pipes.
The mountain laurel root is similar
in appearance to the French briar,
which is the root of the white heath
or "Bruyere." These roots are gath
cred in large quantities, and after be-
ing cleaned and sawed into blanks
they are placed In hot water and SIM
mered for twelve hours or more. This
process gives them the rich hue for
which the best pipes are noted. 1t is
said that in 1915 the value of the
blanks shipped to this country was al
most 100000, and in addition large
number Of finished pipes were i'm
ported.
A number of pipe manufacturers
in this country have been on the look
out for substitutes, and the Forest
Products laboratory has conducted ex-
periments to determine the available
ity of other woods. 1t is reported
that the mountain laurel root burns
out more readily than briar, but for
est service experts are trying to find
a method Of hardening the wood, and
have succeeded to an appreciable ex-
tent. They have also found that a
number of the various kinds of chapar-
raj which are abundant in the west
give promise of yielding material
which will be the equal of French
briar in every way.

THE WINDOW GARDEN
BY E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.

Give the windows at which plants
are to be kept little attention at this
season. Go over the sash, and make
sure that the glass in 1t is well fas-
tened in place by putty. If any panes
are loose, reputty them. See that the
sash fits the frame well.
These little crevices are the ones
through which a great deal of cold
may come when the temperature drops
below zero and there is stiff wind
blowing.
1t is an excellent plan to fit the
windows of the dwelling with storm
windows-storm sashes. Not only for
the benefit of the plants, but the hu-
man occupants as well.
At windows protected by storm sash
plants can be allowed to stand against
the inner glass. on the coolest night,
without injury. as the air space be-
tween the two sashes is most efli-
Client non-conductor of cold.

HOW TO ATTRACT BIRDS

Protection is the prime requisite for
increasing the number of birds in an
area, and the results of protection are
in direct proportion to the amount
given.
Besides insuring birds against every
form of persecution by human kind,
we must defend them from various
natural foes. The most effectual
single step is to provide place for
the birds free FROM the cats.
Although a considerable number OF
our native birds build their nests on
the ground. the majority place them in
trees of shrubs, either in holes or on
the limbs or in crotches.
Shrubbery and trees for nesting
sites, therefore, are essential for max
ing the place attractive to birds, and
a double purpose is served If the kinds

TO AID U. S. MANUFACTURERS
Uncle Sam viii Send Special Agent to
Other Side of World to Investi-
gate Field for Trade.

To extend the use of American rail-
way equipment and supplies in the far
East, Australia and South Africa,
Uncle Sam will send a special agent to
that part of the world to investigate
the field for American products of that
character. The investigation will be
made by Frank Rhea of the division
of valuations of the interstate COM
merce commission.
Mr.. Rhea will make n careful study
on the ground of the conditions as
they affect railway construction, equip
nent, traffic, the probable extension or
reconstruction of railways, tramways,
etc. While all specific opportunities
for securing orders will be promptly
reported, the real purpose of the inves-
tlgation is to gather together the fun
damental facts and conditions that
will enable the American manufacturer
to consider intelligently the different
fields and to determine whether 1t is to
his advantage to enter any of them.

Marines Read Recruits
Character in Fingers

Men with long, tapering
"piano" fingers are apt to de-
sert after short service, while
those having stubby digits, de-
noting stability of character
and utteS lack of the artistic
temperament, usually stand by
their oaths and make the best
marines, according to finger
print experts at headquarters of
the United States Marine corps.
Although desertions from the
corps are light at all times it
has been found that actors, sign
writer's, and, strange to say,
walters, furnish the largest num-
ber of deserters.
Records, including finger
prints, of all men enlisted in
the marine corps are kept at
headquarters for purposes Of
; Identification, and there are
cases on record where bodies, =
. with finger tips intact, have
. been positively identified through
the finger-print medium.

planted are chosen from the list OF
fruit-bearing species. Shrubs should
be allowed to form thickets and should
be pruned pack severely, when
young, so as to produce numerous
crotches.
Constant removal of old trees and
modern tree surgery resulted in a
great diminution OF number of tree
cavities, the natural home OF most of
our hole-nesting birds. Fortunately
most of these birds will utilize arti-
fetal nest cavities, or birdhouses.

numbers will be augmented by tomor-
row. H.45s...
All discussions centered on nomira-
itions made at Chicago. and what e.
feet and bearings they would haveFon
the campaign. Chairman McCombs
declared no matter what slate had
been selected in Chicago by either OF
the parties, it would not have effect
ed the plan of the democrats to re-
name Presiden Wilson and Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall.
The remaining of Wilson and Mar

adopted a platform, which in the
