GIANT FIELDER BEING TOUTED
 BY M 'GRAW
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, March 29. - John J. McGraw's deGaration that Davy Rob ertson, Giant outfielder, is as great ball player as Ty Cobb, if the Giant star cares to be, was almost the ex- cuse for bringing out American flags and holding public mass-meeting to- send thanks by the citizens of Eliza beth City. North Carolina.
 Dave used to play in the town team at Elizabeth City, and they have known for some time down there that Georgia has nothing on South Caro- lima in the matter of sending great ball players to the major leagues.
 Dave has been gallivanting around the National league for some time. He ups and cracks the ball on the nose, beats out new infield, hits a year, steals base or two, turns in a few fielding sensations each year and calls it whole twelve months crammed in to three or four or whatever the case may be.
 Dave is temperamental.' He Is a southerner with a southerner's con- tempt for the northerner's brusque- ness. He is a great ball player, and he knows it fairly well. But Dave wants to be great in his own way. If he doesn't feel like stretching his legs in sprint to first base, why it's mo- body's business, so he does as he pleases.
 McGraw has been grilling Robert son for long time, using his own successful way in making a great man of his potential great. This year, ac- cording to McGraw, Robertson is go- ing to step out as the only real rival of the famous Georgia Peach in all around ball playing Dave has added few promises of his own and it may be that he will forget temperament and try to make them stick.
 Last year Dave busted into the first days of the season with a few we'll timed crashes that placed him at the head of the batting list with no trouble at all He played like fiend, or a Cobb, and he made such furore that everyone, McGraw included, said the star had at last begun to shine. But it was premature praise, for Dave struck a slump, forgot his good reso- lutiOns and ended the season with batting average of 1907, barely with in the hall of fame.
 Now 300 mark isn't to be sneezed at any time. but Dave is capable of more, and McGraw is determined he shall show 1t this year.

CABIN IF STURDY P|0NEED MOVED
 TO PARK
(By Associated Press)

CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 29.-The first cabin built in the Rocky noun. tain region by Jim Baker, famous fed eral scout, Indian fighter and big game hunter, is being shipped here from near Bags, Wyoming, and will be re- constructed in its original state in Frontier park as a monument to the trapper of half century ago.
 Jim Baker was known all over the west for his deeds of daring and many residents of Wyoming, Colorado and Utah still remember him.
 He was born in Belleville, H., De cember 19, 1918. As youth he chafed under the restraint of civilization, and as soon as he reached young man. hood he broke away for the frontier. In 1888 he joined a company of re- cruits for the American Fur Company and travelled with them up the Mis- souri river into Wyoming and spent some time as trapper and buffalo hunter in the Jackson hole country.
 Baker was a stalwart, long-haired, grizzled out of doors man, and had an Indian wife. He was unable to en- dure the restraints of modern cloth ing for more than few days at time. On one occasion he had resolved to return to the Mississippi valley and buy farm with the money he had made in trapping. He become involved in game of Spanish monte, a popu- lar card game of the time ,and lost his whole fortune, 5000.
 Baker bore many scars of his bat ties with Indians and animals. Once a friend brought him a modern rifle from the east and when he was learn ing to manipulate it the whole side of his face was mutilated by dis charge.
 Baker died in 1898 at the age of 80 years.

EASTER LILIES AT SAME 0LD
 PRICE
(By United Press)

CHICAGO, March 29. You may not be able to eat the once aristocratic egg for Easter, but along with the new suit or dress one week from Sunday you can sport a bouquet of violets or even the custom decreed Easter lily. They're not going up in price. Florists in Chicago and the rest of the country so announced to- day.
 At the annual national gathering here today of horticulturists, whole sale and retail, it became appar- ent that neither the tariff, war or sub marine blockade could by the most vivid stretch of imagination be as- cribed as an excuse for an advance in
 the cost of milady's corsage. Lilies, the florists declare, will al ways remain the flower of Easter. Corsage bouquets of violets, livened up with lilies of the valley or an or enid will also be the correct thing for
 Easter day.
 Other information of note was the
 declaration that the tendency of the times is to return to the old June
 roses of yesteryear. the round petaled flowers which grow in the country.
 The Wieland and the Storey varieties
 are scheduled to become the most popular.

b|G PLAN ] FUR BABY WEEK
 IN MAY
(By United Press)

WASHINGTON, March 29 - Baby week conferences in the United States this year will take various forms and be held on various dates, according to reports reaching the children's bureau of the department of labor here today. National baby week officially, how ever, is May l to 6.
 Several states have selected some one phase of infant welfare work for special emphasis in this years cam paign. Many will devote most of their time to a study of the high nor tality rate among women just before child birth. It is shown by statistics that 15,O0O prospective mothers die just before or during child birth in the United States every year.
 Delaware will specialize on the pre- vention of infantile paralysis, which took such a heavy toll of infant life throughout the country last year, and others are looking toward the keeping VI iliolC SoilpiCtC lCSoluo lOi q HUI c intimate study of the infant mortality rates from all causes.
 In Nebraska the state committees are suggesting local campaigns dur ing different weeks so that circuits may be arranged for speakers. This plan has made a decided hit with the children's bureau.
 The same state, the bureau said, is planning the earliest baby week ol 1917, and early dates also are expect ed from Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and California cities. Most of the 50: communities already heard from by the bureau, however, will hold theil conferences the first week in May, as the bureau had planned.

The stairs wound backward and for

cended. until, when he guessed him

to throw the light full in his face.

SO cunningly arranged that it was not
possible to guess which were real and
which were not. Rewa Gunga offered
no explanation. but stood watching
with quiet amusement. He seemed

go forward, but II he did he reckoned
without his guest. King stood still.
Then suddenly, as II she had done 1t
a thousand times before and surprised
q thousand people, little nut-brown
maid parted the middle pair of cur
tains and said "Salaam!" smiling with
teeth that we're as white as porcelain.
All the other curtains parted too, so
that the whereabouts Of the door might
still have been in doubt had she not
spoken and so distinguished herself
from her reflections. King looked
scarcely interested and not at al dis
turbed.
Baked Of his amusement, Rewa
Gunga hurried past him, thrusting tho
little maid aside, and led the way.
King followed him into long room,
whose walls were hung with richer
silks than any he remembered to have
seen. In a great wide window to one
side some twenty women began at
once to make flute music. Silken
punkahs swung from chains, waiting
back and forth cloud of sandalwood
smoke that yelled the whole scene In
mysterious, scented mist. Through
the open window came the splash Of a
fountain and the chattering Of birds,
and the branch of a feathery tree
dropped near by. 1t seemed that the
long white wall below was that of
Yasmini's garden.
