BAND BOYS MAKE MERRY
AT THEIR ANNUAL PICNIC

The picnic given by ST. Johns indie
pendent band at the -Sauerkraut club
on Sunday was a success and most
enjoyable affair from every stand
point Early in the morning the live
wire delegation was on the spot, and
preparations were made for the crowd
which soon began to arrive. Fishing
and bathing were in order, and many
of the younger ones of the party pitted
their strength against the current in
the river which is some stream just
now at that point.
Early in the afternoon, after splen-
did dinner had been served in the club
dining hall, the quartette led by Pat
Diekoff and assisted by whoever took
a notion rendered some choice vocal
selections Some of the voices were
a trifle rusty but the most of them gave
great promise if they had the advant-
age of training by good teacher.
Some records were made by expert
horseshoe pitchers but it was at fishing
that Fred Bittner tied them all. Bit
ner also led cross country chase, the
hazards including swamp ground,
barbed wire fences and bitches. In
this contest Pat Diekoff lost by a
length by trying to pick new route.
In the afternoon, an auto party en-
route from Chicago to Madison visited
the club. The party included Mr.. and
Mrs. A. w. Kempe and son, Mrs. Geele
and son, Mrs. A. A. Strom and Howard
Brown. Mr.. Kemp is one of the Chi
cago Tribune staff, and agreed with
the rest of the party that WATERFOWL
club people know how to entertain.
The band is composed Of the follow
ing members: William Bast, Walter
Kruger, Ray Brier, R. Grosnick, Otto
Nienow, Arthur Block, Ben Mas, Fred
Mas, Edward Kohlhoff, Arthus Bast,
Arthur Sprenger, Anton Lemke, Aug

Thirty-three years old and enjoying

years as major league pitcher.
That's Eddie Cicotte, premier pitch

Rival clubs of ehe Sox have howled
long and loudly about Cicotte's pitch

him with everything they could think

mound, but TO date no one has been

baseball annals as one of the best in

Cicotte's work on the rubber has
been the outstanding feature OF the
defense OF the Chicago club this year.
Cicotte alone has won a fourth of
the games slowed away by Comis-
keys pets, and Cicotte will be the
man upon whom the burden OF the

Ultraviolet Rays.

Ultraviolet rays from different
sources vary greatly in quantity and
intensity, and their steadily increas-
ing use for treating disease has made
it important to know how to get the
radiations having greatest therapeu-
tic efficiency. DR.. C. A. Schunck has
reported trials of electrodes of pure
metallic tungsten, molvbdenum, and
iron; carbon rods impregnated with
sodium tungstate, uranium nitrate,
and ammonium molybdate; cored car
bons filed with uranium oxide or
Wolfram; and the so-called Simpson
electrodes of wolfram. The electric
arc with metallic tungsten electrodes
emitted ultraviolet radiations OF
greatest effectiveness; and the Simp-
son arc gave a similarly active spec
trum though unsteady. The radia-
tions With impregnated carbons were
more intense in the spark than in the
arc, a mixture of uranium nitrate and
ammonium molybdate giving the
greatest effects OF sparkling material.
The position in the spectrum of the
rays of greatest therapeutic value has
been roughly shown, and will be To-
Gated more precisely in further ex-
perimehts.
