CHICAGO PIN men
GAINING IN MEET
Blouin and karlicek Cut Down Lead
of New Workers in Match AnOth-
er Is Pins Yesterday.

Chicago, March 23.-Jimmy Blouin
and Tony Karlicek. the local repre-
sentatives in the inter-city bowling
match between New York and Chicago,
made another big dent in the 29O pin
lead that the eastern team of Jimmy
Sith and Glenn RiddeIl accumulated
when the first half of the match was
rolled in New York by trimming them
1876 pins in the seven games rolled yes
terday at the Randolph alleys.
The match is for total pins in 40
games, q in New York and the same
number in Chicago, with only seven
more games to be rolled. The totals
stand with the New Workers in the
lead by rs pins, for the local men
have cut the big margin down 215
pins in the last two days.
In the games yesterday karlicek
and Blouin bowled on about equal
terms, piling up a total of 1886 pins,
against 1853 for their opponents.
Jimmy Smith of the New York team
was the high man of the four with
l,4S5, hut was handicapped by Riddell,
who could not get the lay of the al
leys and finished his seven games
with total of 1,214. Smith hung I'D
the two highest scores that have been
rolled since the Chicago half of the
match started, getting 25S and PAT. In
the 25S game he was well on his way
to perfect score with seven straight
strikes, when the ten pin stood before
him in his eighth frame. The mishap
seemed to unnerve him, for his strike
ball missed again in the tenth and he
had to be satisfied with 25S for the
high mark so far.

MOTHER LOVE

So long as 80 women peg for the
custody of one baby there need be no
fear that old-fashioned sentiments are
going to die of anaemia. The mother
love that finds it highest level in the
care of it's own individual treasure
may be counted upon to extend its
arms to any child that needs it when
deprived of its natural maternal
guardianship. The rush of 80 women
in a western city to become the foster
mother of one baby, argues and proves
its own case-children deprived Of
their due by misfortune will be pro-
tected while there are any women
alive
Instincts that have been growing
under intensive cultivation for humid
reds of thousands of years are not
going to become atrophied because of
the artificial fears of amateur alarm
lists. Volunteer and NECESSARY en-
thuiasts on social Improvements based
upon rainbows in Altruia are ground
lessly depressed when they waste
tears upon children who will be moth
cred into forgetfulness of misfortune,
and women they accuse of outgrow-
ing the maternal qualities.
The struggle of 80 women for one
baby is rebuttal enough of the charg-
es that we have evolved into a differ
ent brand of men and women than our
forbears in whom the affectinoate pro-
lection of childhood was living prin-
ciple. There need be no worry over
the social evolution when 80 women
almost fight for the privilege of sac
rifcing themselves in the care of some
other woman's baby.-Pittsburg Post

:: DESTROYING FOOD ::

II you burn your own house you are
arrested for it, In most states it is a
punishable offense to smash your own
furniture or deliberately destroy any
Of your own personal property. And
yet it seems permissible to destroy
food.
In Peoria, ILL.,, a woman's commit
tee Investigating the high cost of food
found that the price of potatoes had
been kept up by the simple device Of
dumping carloads of potatoes into the
Illinois river.
A big wholesale fish firm in San
Francisco is said to be guilty even
now OF practice that has prevailed
In that city for years-dumping tons
Of fresh fish into the bay when a
catch is unusually large, or when for
any reason the market it not active
enough to absorb all the catch at the
established prices. The same thing
has been done occasionally in Boston
Cleveland has often seen trainloads of
peaches dumped into the Cuyahoga

river. Such disposition of fruits, veg
etables and fish is familiar to Chicago
and New York. and doubtless to many
other cities.
The purpose in every such case is
to maintain the price by creating an
artificial scarcity. In every case it
is wanton waste. Even the most per-
ishable food is easily disposed of II
offered at bargain prices. And If 1t
were necessary to give it away to pre-
vent its spelling even that would be
infinitely better than throwing it
away.
1t is wicked because it wastes food
that people need. 1t is criminal be-
cause it forces the public to pay more
than it should for all the food that
is left If there is no law against this
sort of thing, there ought to be. So
far as the interests of the communi-
ity are concerned, deliberate waste is
as bad as deliberate theft.-St. Peters
