YOUNGSTERS FILLING UP
RANKS OF THE MAJORS
By H. c. Hamilton

United Fress Staff Correspondent
New York, May 3.-There are few
clubs right now in the two majot
leagues who are not flashing some
youngster. his first year out, in some
position as regular. The old-timers,
seemingly, are taking the count col
lcctively. There are no less than
five clubs which have brand new
shortstops performing regularly, and
there is horde of new regulars In
the other positions.
The Reds have three new ones, all
regulars. Cueto, an cutfielder, and
Shean ard Kopf, are debutantes il
Il e charmed circle of major league
d IN and they're getting away with
it. Shean is veteran as ball play
er, but he has taken veterans plac=
row in the majors. Kopf has seen
major league duty, but never as 4
regular until he became shortstop fol
the Reds. Cueto IS a youthful Cuban
who knows how to bang the ball ano
play the outfield.
Risberg is the new White SoH
shortstop. Fabrique has taken ovel
the same burden for the Dodgers
Chuck Ward is in the same fix witt
the Pirates, and Workman is a sen
sation in the shortfield for the Cubs
The Phillies and Braves have place,
newcomers on the bench to wait de-
velopments. Both are shortstops. Nc
Caffigan is with the Phillies anc
Rawlings with the Braves.
There is an imposing array Of nev.
pitchers. Nearly every club has it:
new sensation. Oeschger is try.
irg his new spurs on for the frs
time for the Phillies. Urban Chock
e. is drawing al his pay from th'
lankees this year, Cadore is a Rodg,
e. regular, Connie Mack has whole

Detroit regular. Christy Mathew
son is showing bavy Of them how
he used to fool the boys.

At Palace Tonight and Tomorrow.

Perhaps if the thousands Of readers
OF the Robert w. Chambers story" "The
Girl Philippa," which ran in the Cos
mopolitan and in book form, had been
as ked what motion picture star they
would choose to play the title role
ot 'Philippa," there would have beer
much hesitancy, for the role is very
complex and difficult.
However, with everything given due
consideration, it is quite probable that
dainty Anita Stewart of the Vita
glaph would have eventually been
chosen.
And wise the choice would have
heen, too, as she herself will prove
by her wonderful Characterization OF
the title role of the girl Philippa in

RIDlCULE AS A WEAPON.-It is
dead wrong to ridicUle any one on
what he or she has to say on any
question that may arise in regard to
social welfare.
People write and debate for differ
ent reasons. Some for the money
that is in it, some merely for a pas
time and some for a sincere desire to
give their opinion on some subject
that may be of interest to them
selves and community.
Robert IngersO1 delivered his lee
lures and wrote his books to interest,
gain fame and to gain wealth. Very
few do so for any other reason than
his. Rich people can do many good
deeds free of charge, but always find
a way to make up for lost time. A
man who doesn't like money for
what it will buy is the scarcest article
on this planet.
/ Tidicule no man for not under
standing my way of thinking, but I
despise the way some people pretend
to be so Christ-lOVing and GOd-fear-
ing and then, regardless Of their
teachings, Tidicule and despise the
sayings and actions Of the very ones
Jesus prayed for and fought for in
his meek way of fighting.
Preparedness for war is a rotten
way to adjust wrongs, although it is,
necessary on a certain scale and for
a certain reason, but not to shoot
down the workers who by hard work
furnish the generals, captains, ser
geants, diplomats and privates with
food, clothes and the necessary ma
chimes of destruction for that pur-
pose. Paying a man to shoot you
down is a ridiculous proposition and
needs severe and spontaneous objec-
tons badly.

uuence, iron nerve and their ability

sion will ever come true, that Some Of
the people can be fooled once in a
while, but all Of the people cannot be
fooled all of the time.
Most men are held back through
fear of being ridiculed, yet, tired Of
being living dead men, allow them
selves to be crucified on the cross Of
gold erected on the scaffold of greed
and hate. The shameful doings OF
men are tenfold more dastardly than
that of the wild beasts roaming the
forests.-Frank Smith.

PROHIBITION FIGURES.-Notic-
ing the discussion in The Day Book
concerning what the workers will do
when prohibition comes in and the
brewery employees and bartenders are
turned out of business, l want to
bring before the readers. of The Day
Book some of the facts in the case.
Everyone should be informed as to
the small amount Of employment
which the liquor business gives COM
pared with the same money invested
in other business. For every million
dollars invested in liquor, the same
amount of money invested in the iron
industry would employ four times
as many people; invested in paper
and printing it would employ hYe
times as many; invested in leather
six times as many; invested IN the
textile industry seven and a haH
times as many; and IN the lumber
business seven and a half times as
many.
For instance, in Seattle during the
first month of prohibition there were
three times as many baby shoes sold.
This means that part Of the money
which went into whisky and beer
over the bar was put instead into the
leather business and would employ
seven and a half times as many peo-
pIe; that is, if before it employed a
thousand people, when put into
leather, instead of liquor, it would
employ $500 people.
In Arizona when the copper mines
began to boom, after the state was
dry, the men began to spend their
money in homes instead of over the

WHEAT CROP Of STATE
AND NATION IS LARGER
Combined Winter and Spring Pro.
duction Considerably More Than
Last Year.

Washington's production of winter
wheat will be about 100000 bush
els less than last year, but it's spring
wheat crop will run about 8,350,OO0
bushels more than last year, accord
ing to the government crop forecast
for July 1, so that its total produc-
tion of this cereal will be 100000
bushels greater than last year.
The July forecast for winter
wheat is 11,3O0.0O0 bushels while
the production last year was 1926
900 bushels, but the forecast for
spring wheat is 27,700,0OO bushels
to 19,350,OOO last year.
The forecast for the whole country
shows a similarly big general in
crease in spring wheat and total
production Of both crops about 40,-
100000 bushels above last year.
Here in this state the oats and
barley crops this year promise to be
about the same as last. but the spud
crop is expected to be about 1,500,-
900 bushels more than last year and
the hay crop about $4,000 tons less.

Traffic ViOlators May Force Closing
of Highway Through Camp.

Threats to close the Pacific high
way for the nine-mile stretch through
the American lake army post. thus
compelling travellers between Olym-
pia and Tacoma to go via Yelm, have
been made by army authorities this
week because of the alleged absolute
disregard by autoists of state and
county traffic regulations.
Formal complaint of traffic law
violations was made to Secretary of
State Howell the fore part Of this
week by Captain Harry K. MacKay
and after talking the situation over
with the army officer. Secretary How
ell deputized him with full authority
to arrest traffic law violators and also
told him he could have as many more
deputies as he wanted.
