high collar life, a Geisha girl is
usually provided for the entertain

the highest class Geishas from
the Shimbashi district require a

Then there are girls of the

they are registered officially.
Every city has its Yoshiwara
girls. In Tokyo are several hun

You think of the boundless sup

d. F. Hewett, United States
Geological Survey manganese eX-
pert, told me all about it. Steel
cannot be made without mangan-
csc alloys, ferromanganese or
spiegeleisen. About Ia pounds of
one or the other is used in every
ton OF steel.
Only 20 per cent of the high
grade manganese ore is produced
in this country. The rest is from
Russia, India and Brazil, since the
war from Brazil alone. Result:
Ferromanganese which sold at
$40 now sells at $500.
The Brazilian ore is mined
about 800 miles north Of Rio
Janeiro. The only way to the sea
is a single-track railroad which
serpentines around the mountains
Just outside OF Rio and starts up
ward due north across many coll
siderable rivers until 1t reaches
the mining stations OF Lafayette
and Miguel BURNER.
So vital to the steel industry is

PERMANENT CAMP OF THE
AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY
ARMY IN FRANCE, July 21.-
Pershing's Sammies are keen on
bayonet practice. There is not
a more popular course in the
training curriculum than this.
The American soldiers have
been impressed with the fact that
the enemy fears cold steel more
than bullets and they want to get
perfection in the thrust and cut.
The French government gave
the army a bottle of champagne
and liter of red wine for every
soldier. Wine doesn't figure in
the American comissariat.
One battalion didn't waste and
time but consumed all it's quota
right away. The camp has a
comfortable feeling every day in
the anti-aircraft gun practice.

BABE RUTH SAYS THAT HE rs SET
FOR HIS MOST BRILLIANT SEASON

Boston. May 26.-Jack Barry, Red
Sox boss, says that Babe Ruth is
ready for his greatest season on the
diamond. Ruth himself declares that
he hopes to win at least thirty games
and that he is anxious to stretch it If
possible to thirty-f1ve. From the great
string of consecutive victories Ruth
has hung up so far it is easy to believe
that he is going to have a wonderful
season.
Ruth is undoubtedly one Of the
most interesting figures in the game
and he will get the fans attention
this summer. The Red Sox have
used him in the opening game Of
almost every series this season and
his pitching has been an important
reason why they are now well in
front of the rest Of the American
league teams Ruth is one Of the
few pitchers who amount to much at
bat. His triples and doubles have
been frequent so far this spring and
plenty of singles have been mixed
in between. Quite a few Of his games
he has won himself with his own
heavy hitting.
Ruth's fast ball is the best thing
he has and when It is working right
he needs little more. Jack Barry is
anxious to see Ruth cultivate an eff
fectiye slow ball and If he does he
will be unsurpassed in the pitching
business Ruth has perhaps not the
best control at all times and he doesn't
put them high and low, inside and
out, in the way that Matty used to
do. But what Ruth is able to do is a
great deal and though he acquires no

Cincinnati, May 26.-Captain T. L
Huston, one of the owners of the New
York Americans now in this city to
recruit several companies of engineers
for Immediate service in France, paid
his respects to city officials of Boston
and Philadelphia by sending them
kilograms, which read:
Soldiers die on Sunday. They
suffer in hospitals on Sunday.
They fight battles on Sunday"
The captain was prompted to the 40.
on after reading that Boston and
ailadelphia authorities had expressed
themselves against permitting several
games OF baseball on Sunday by the
National and American league clubs.
The proceeds were to be used for the
regimental funds OF the engineers and
for the relief Of their families. The
plan originated with Huston. He said
''The opposition in Boston and Phil
adelphia against playing championship
baseball games on Sunday for the benz
eft of the engineer troops soon to be
sent to France is inexplicable. The
money derived from the proposed
games would be devoted to the COM
forts Of the soldiers at the front, to the
alienation of the sick and wounded in
the hospitals, to aiding those perma-
mently crippled and to the relief OF the
dependents left at home. The dis
bursements would be made at the de
rection OF the war department.
In war, battles are fought on Sum
days, marches are made, men are
killed, wounded and manned on the
battlefield, the sick suffer and die in
the hospitals,a and notwithstanding
its spiritual consolation, the day
brings no physical relief to the suf-
ferers, no rest to those in action and
no mercy to the prisoners of war.
1T was proposed to play these bene-
fit games on Sunday in the east frank
ly because they would entail the least
hardship on baseball, which is having
struggle at the best, and also be-
cause they would bring about the
greatest results for the object in view"

Fusner, first string catcher with
Fort William in the Northern league
in 1915, with st. Joseph in the West
ern league last season; Meissner,
heavy hitting outfielder with Superior
in 1916, and Frank Johnson, pitcher
on the same club last year, will be in

Minot this afternoon. The addition
will greatly strengthen the team.
Minot secured Fusner from st.
Joseph. Meissner, who was with the
Rockford club in the Three-I league,
and Johnson, who was with Rock Is
land in the same circuit, were ordered
to report to Minot when the national
commission decided that they were
part of the Superior franchise taken
over by Minot.
Fusner hit .241 and fielded 1863 in
1916; Meissner hit .2S5 and fielded
.971, while Johnson hit .14S, flelded
.943 and won 13 and lost IA games on
the mound.
