Senator James A. McDougal was an
orator who abided by Shakespeare,s
maxim that "brevity is the soul of
wit" He could compact more elo-
quence into a few sentences than 9TH

harangues. When urged to partici-
pate in mortuary ceremonies he said !:
II doubt whether or not we should
mourn for any of the dead. am con-
fident that there should be no MOURN

up as sacrifices In any Just and holy
cause. 1t better becomes us to praise
and dignity them. 1t is true that
cities and kingdoms die, but the eter-

die, but lives a universal life. and its

New Talking "MovIes.u

Application has been made for a
patent on a very elaborate device
which would produce a combination Of
the cinematograph and the photograph
to give us moving pictures wherein the
characters not only move but speak.
The idea of such pictures is not new.
but the difficulties of synchronizing
have hitherto proved insurmountable.
By synchronizing is meant the exact
coincidence Of the motion picture, pro-
jected by one machine, with the speech
supposed to proceed from the char
acters, which is produced by quite an
other. Unless the speech comes at
the right instant, the result is laugh
able rather than impressive. In the
proposed device the actual speech OF
the character is transmitted by wire
less telephone to photograph whose
complex receiving mechanism Is syn
chronized with the movements Of the
moving picture camera.

HAS MESSAGE FOR ALL BOYS
Young Man Draws Lesson From

me when 1 was a boy" exclaimed
young man the other day.
zone hot, sultry July afternoon-the
hottest day we had that summer

I met my father.
81 wish you would deliver this
package for me, Joe,' he said rather
weakly, as remembered afterward.
Now was only thirteen years old and
had been out playing in the hot sun all
morning and was all In when l met
my father after playing a ten-inning
game with our side the losers. My
glance at his kind, gentle face stopped
me. Surely will go. father said
pleasantly.
Thank you, son. was the answer.
I was going myself, but don't feel
very well today and thought you
would not refuse, as you have always
been a good boy to me, Joe.'
walked away thinking Iatner ola
not care much about his only son, or
he would not send me on this jaunt
(about one mile and half), on such
hot day. But somehow the words,
7 thought you would not refuse and
You have always been a good boy to
me, joe seemed to ring in my ears
and before 1 reached the end of my
journey was whistling merry tune.
Returning home, saw our Doctors
auto and a crowd of people at our
door. One Of my aunts hurried to meet
me with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Your father fell dead just as he reach
ed the stoop,' she said.
81 found out later the last words my
father spoke were. You have always
been a good boy to me, Joe.'"

cAsT-oFFs ARE MAKING GOOD
LEFTY Russell and Bruno Haas, Dis

Two cast-off Athletic pitchers are
making good as regular players for the
Newark International league club,
They are Lefty Russell. who is COW
cring first base and Bruno Haas, who
is playing in the outfield, Both men
have won the fans with their mighty
hitting.
Haas and Russell weren't with the
Athletics very long, but they arr dis

Russell came there in 1910 from Bal,i-
more for money and players amount
ing to $4,000.
He never made good because of i'll
ness contracted during the previous
winter and went to the minors, where
he has since played good ball,

and Toney on May 2, when the latter
made his record, and it was not until
the tenth period that Kopf broke the
big Cub twirler's string with a single.
The major league annals for the
past IL years show that the greatest
number Of no-hit games pitched in any
one season was In 1908 when there
were four in the American and two In
the National league. In 1900, 1905 and
1915 four such feats were recorded.
With virtually four months Of sched-
ule play ahead 1t would appear as
though the 1917 corps of twirIers had
an unusual opportunity to establish
new figures in this direction since
three more no-hit games will surpass
the total made in 1908.
