Peyton Fletcher Enlists Them for
War Eyentualities.
"Join the home defense"


Many bowlers taking part in the Dis.
trict Associations championship
duckpin tournament, and others at
the Grand Central alleys. have heard
this request during the last few days
from Peyton B. Fletcher. the promI-
nent bowler.
Fletcher is a member of the execu-

merce branch OF the home defense
league, and is lining up the Capitals
bowlers and pocket billiards pastimers
for the organization destined to aid
the Washington police in the event of
trouble here due to the war. Many
are joining the auxiliary police force
at Fletcher's behest.
Today he will enroll the Washing

a meeting to be held in connection
with the recent team championship
tournament Of that organization.

Unless Central blows up, there
should be nothing to the title race in

been sailing along smoothly without
a hitch. Business, by the same token,
has gotten up on even terms WITH
Central. As a matter of fact BUSH
ness must meet Central next and
should the Stenographers get any
breaks in the luck, Central may go
down. There Is no use trying to dope
out a high school series, especially
when teams meet each other but

In arranging the schedule so that
the best bOwlers will be seen after
the tournament is well under way.
the committee having that work in
charge for the District Associations
duckpin championships, being held
at the Grand Central, made a wise
move. Mostly Glass B bowlers will
compete during the first week, and
the real attractions of the tournament
will be put on beginning with next
week. Had the best performers roll
ed first, many high marks probably
would have been hung up and thereby
taken the interest out OF the efforts
of the weak bowlers. The Royal,
Grand Central, and other crack COM
binations will be seen in action next
week.

Once more Freddie Welsh has
failed to show real class when op-
posed to a good man. His perform
ance against Kilbane shows the un-
fonate conditions that allow a cham
pion to make money without taking
any risk OF losing his crowd. Welsh,
after being outboxed and outfought
for ten rounds, is still worlds light
weight champion. Had the referee
been empowered to render a decision,
Kilbane would have taken over the
honors. No, he wouldn't, come to
think of II. Welsh would never have
stepped into the ring.
Now that Harry Harper has shown
himself able to pitch winning base
ball, the chances of the Griffmen for
climbing in the race are considerably
brighter than they have been for
some days. Harper, without engag-
ing in a single game this season,
STEPPED upon the slab yesterday and
held the Yankees to four scattered
hits, easily winning from the New
Yorkers. Now, fans, let's all get
together behind the Griffs and shove
them ahead. They need steady pitch
ing, that's true, but they also need
some comforting support
The selection of Mike Thompson as

HOW INSANITY HAS GAINED
Increase In United States Revealed by
Census Taken by National Com
mittee for Mental Hygiene.

Insanity in the United States is de-
cidedly on the increase. This fact is
revealed by reason of a census taken
of the insane, feebleminded, epileptics,
inebriates and drug addicts by the
National Committee for Mental Hy-
giene. Analysis of this census is found
in the Mental Hygiene. It was com
piled by Horatio M. Pollack, statistici'
an of the New York State Hospital
commission, and Edith NJ. Furbush.
statistician of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene.
The federal census bureau estimates
that the increase of population from
April 10, 1910, to January 1, 1917, was
11.S0 per cent. The same government
agency found in 1910 that the number
of insane in institutions was 1877, 791.
The census. taken in the present year
revealed 234,055 insane persons in in
situations. Thus the increase in the
insane in institutions during the CORE
spending period was 24.64 per cent a
growth more than double that of the
general population.
Moreover, the rate Of Increase OF the
insane in institutions was relatively
greater than that of the general popu,
lation In every state except Arizona,
Kansas, Mississippi, Nevada and South
Carolina. Illinois is one of the states
in which the disparity between growth
of population and increase in insan-
ity has been greatest. In this state
the population increase was 9.84 per
cent, as compared with a percentage
of increase of insane in institutions OF
27.38. The neighboring state of Indi-
ana shows an even greater disparity,
with percentages of AGA and 27.44 re-
spectively.

Mozart's Music.

A recent biographer says of Mozart
that the most wonderful fact about
him was that he directed his art to-
ward success without any sacrifice of
himself, and his music was always
written with regard to it's effect upon
the public. Somehow it does not lose
by this, and it says exactly what he
wishes it to say. In this he was
helped by his delicate perceptions, his
shrewdness and his sense of Irony. He
despised his audience, but he held him.
self In great esteem. He made no con-
cession that he need blush for; he de-
ceived the public, but he guided it as
well. He gave the people the illusion
that they understood his idea, while,
as matter of fact, the applause that
greeted his work was excited only by
passages which were solely composed
for applause.

ALL IN THE WAY YOU SEE 10

ure of 1t, Says Writer.

Any attitude which makes the worst
of the situation makes a failure Of 1t.
Concentrating your mind on the hurt
of a headache or the pain of a cut, fair
ly makes either one throb to order.
Agitating yourself over how you are
going to meet the payments on your
talking machine takes all the music
out of every record it plays, writes an
optimist.
If you must have your appendix re-
moved next Saturday, why fill the days
between now and Saturday with dis
NAL forebodings of how you are going
to feel when you wake up from the
ether sleep? You will have to have
the operation performed, anyway, and
you might as well come to it with as
much reserve strength and buoyancy
as possible.
A glad heart goes the whole day long
and sad one tires in a mile, as has
been told with poetic fervor. But that
does not make us work hard enough
for cheerful viewpoint, for the same
determination to see the best Of life
which really makes the best in life a
tangible thing to all of us.

LIMBS MADE OF CARDBOARD
Artificial leg, Invented by Danish Doc.
tor, Enables Wearer to Walk Soon
After Amputation.

A Danish doctor at a hospital IN
Paris has invented a cardboard leg
which enables the wearer to go about
without crutches two days after ms
limb has been amputated.
The materials used are two sheets
of cardboard about three-sixteenth OF
an inch thick, and bandages soaked In
a starch solution. After careful meas
urements have been taken the card
board is cut into what looks like two
peg-tops, which after being soaked in
the bath fold round each other and are
secured with bandages.
The principle is that OF an egg IN a
cup, and the patient can wear the leg
long before the wound is completely
healed. He can thus get air and exer-
else, which it is usually. impossible tC
obtain at this phase of his GONZALES
cence; also he has to suffer none OF
the Inconvenience of clutches, a stlcE
sufficing for his needs. The leg, prop
erly treated, lasts from six months tt
a wear, by which time permanent
artificial limb is ready to be fitted.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or caIlus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin. "
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
