UNDUE CREDIT
FOR AMERICANS
STAR DEVELOPING" NOT DUE TO
ITS SYSTEM BUT TO LUCK OF
Mr.. BAN JOHNSON
By FRANK G.. MENkE

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.--The American
league gets a lot Of undue credit for de-
veloping stars.
True, there are far more baseball satel-
ties in the new organization than in the
old. But that isn't because the American
league has a developing system. It's large
~ because the Johnson circuit is a lucky
one-that it picks up youngsters who al
ready are stars.
Ty Cobb wasn't developed. He was a
star when he came from the bushes a doz-
on years ago. Eddie Collins was a re-
markablc player as a collegian. When he
joined the Athletics he was fit for the ma
jors. The only trouble was to find the
place where he could do his best work.
"Stuffy'' McInnis and Jack Berry were
not developed. They came from the small
err diamonds and made good with a whoop.

small Texas league to the American-and

brilliancc. Larry Laioic was a star of

protecting wing of Ban Johnson in the

newest sensation in baseball. didn't need

Michigan ~ he played for the Brownies.

AUsTR|ANs GET MONEY
OUT OF THE RACE TRACK

VIENNA, Oct. 6.-The newest Aus
trian tax by which the government
hopes to increase its annual income by
something like two and a half million
crowns (half million dollars) is a
new, and additional levy On the betting
at the various Austrian race tracks.
The new tax provides that in addi-
ticn to the percentage of all total
istateur (parri mutuaD wagers al
ready taken by the government, a
special win tax" shall be imposed on
all those who pick horses that pay
&c crowns or more for 10 waged.
Thus, if the pari pays 81 to 10, the
government will take an extra 10
shellers from the winner; this percent
age of tax rises until the government
will collect "a crowns in such cases
ss the pari pays $50 for 10, an occur
renee by no means infrequent when
the afvorite horse is beaten by an out
slider.
From the figures of the betting at
the race tracks during the past seas
on, and the prices which the hugely
patronized pari mutuel machines have
paid, the government estimates that
it can increase its income by a round
million crowns.
Another million and half it ex-
poets to realize from a similar spec
ial tax on bets made with the book
makers in the race track rings. The
new tax will appreciably enhance an
profitable business for the
for under the old system
it collects 20 per cent of all money
wagered before the scale which the
Iari is to pay is reckoned up.

IDAHO UTILITIES COMMISSION.

There is o story TO the effect that
an over indulgent mother employed a
nurse for IS months old Clarence.
The nurse was especially instructed
to IN no way attempt to restrain the
youngster from exercising his own
wishes and desires In every particu-
lar. as IT was bad for his disposition.
one day the mother heard Clarence
screaming In the nursery and she
cried out to the nurse: Marie. what
ever is the matter with little Clar-
encc?" Marie relied: please ma'am.
he wants this wasp that is crawling
on the window" The mother replied /
We'll Marie, have told you often
enough to let him have everything he !
wants and II he wants that wasp you
let him have it," The new sort of /
screams issuing from the nursery
moment later indicated that Clearance I
had got the wasp.
The people Of Idaho screamed them
selves hoarse for several years crying /
for a Utilities commission. and now
that they have It the story of Clar-
ence and the wasp is being repeated.
IT, during the time of its existence,
the Utilities commission has acted
within the law. then the
law IS mighty bad and should be re-
pealed. If the Commission has mis-
interpreted the law then the commits
sion should be reformed and every
vestige Of its work eradicated from
the state so that no future commits
sion could possibly use It's work as
precedent
The commission has at all times re-
fused the permission to capital to In
vest ia any enterprise of public
utility nature il. in the Judgment Of

vestment, were already sufficiently
supplied by existing concerns. The

Failure to use the grease cups regu-

While you may sometimes feel that
about 20 OF the horses are dead in
your 30-horsepower machine, never
thcless that machine will do as much
work for you as thirty horses could
do; 1t will carry you two hundred miles
In day; II will take you farther in
five minutes than horse will in half
an hour. without counting the time
taken to harness. So why not give n
little OF the time required for harness
ing one horse to the lubricating of the
equivalent of thirty horses.
Starting and Lighting System.
While the starting and lighting sys-
TEN is automatic and requires little
attention, It is electrically operated; I;
which means that by incorrect use It
will quickly go wrong. l would advise
all owners never to do anything with
any part OF Il, even to the taking out
of the battery, without first studying
the instruction book furnished by the
maker.
For example, many cars, especially
those equipped with a magnetic, re-
ouire that certain wires be discon-
nccted from the generator when tho
battery is taken out to lie charged. as
II tine engine is run without the bat
terry, the lights will be burned out,
and possibly the generator he ruined.
Instruction to do this will be given in
the book, ana possibly there may be
some other precaution Of similar ma
