The good old family trees of the
Smiths and the Joneses have been
pretty well represented in baseball for
number of years. But neither the
Smiths nor the Joneses have ever
been able to claim the distinction Of
having three sprouts from their fam
lily trees In the major league spotlight
at one time, such as the family Burns
claims today.
Three major league stars who are
In the midst of their baseball careers
represent the old Scotch family. They
are George ]. Burns, Giant outfielder I;
Eddie Burns, Philly catcher, and
George Burns. first baseman of the
Detroit Tigers. Every one of this
trio is a star, and unless the war
claims one or all of them, or injuries
interfere with their baseball ,activi-
ties the Burns trio will be good for
some years to come In the big show.
Burns of New York.
George Burns of the Giants, has
often been rated as the greatest all
around outielder in the National
league, and of the three he is per-
haps the most valuable player. So
far this year his fielding and throw
Ing have been superb, and he Is keep
Ing In the race for batting honors.
Hughie Jennings recently declared
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1917-09-07

that Of all the stars In the Giant con-
steIlation Burns stands out as the
brightest, and this, coming from the
famous Tiger manager, is some
tribute.
Burns Of Detroit.
First Baseman Burns of the Tigers
Is serving his fourth full season as
member of the Detroit Club. Al
though he is seldom ranked as ar
equal of Hal Chase in the art Of
covOrting around the initial station,
he is a ball player any big league
club would be glad to grab and he
is only twenty-four years old.
Burns Of Philadelphia.
Eddie Burns, catcher with the
Phillies, is now in his fourth full
season as a member of the Quaker
town club, and although an injury
early in the season kept him back, he
Is considered one of the most valu-
able players on Pat Moran's team
Eddie is a glutton for work, and If 1t
wasn't for the fact that Moran has
star in Bill Killifer, Eddie would
get all and perhaps more work than
he could handle. The Philly back
stop isn't as heavy sticker as the
other two representatives Of the Burns
family, but he makes up for 1t in every
other way.

NATIONS Tribute
TO DRAFTED MEN
PRESIDENT MARCHES IN FRONT
RANKS IN PARADE OF DRAFT
ED MEN AT WASHINGTON.
Members Of Congress and Diplomats of
Allies Join in Procession Of Homage
to Men Selected From Dis
trict Of Columbia.

Washington. - The president and
congress of the United States and the
allied nations through their diplomatic
representatives. Joined Tuesday in
paying honor to the men selected from
the District of Columbia for service
In Americas national army raised for
the battle for democracy.
Washington, long used to glittering
professions, opened its eyes and
cheered itself hoarse at the spectacle.
For two hours, while in other cities
throughout the nation other thousands
moved over the first part of the long
road that may lead to French battle
fields, Pennsylvania avenue heard the
tramp Of marching men, the jingle of
spurs and the rumble Of artillery.
President Wilson himself, eyes to
the front, stepping like a freshly
trained recruit, marched at the head OF
the long line, surrounded by a COM
mittee Of citizens which arranged the
parade. Behind him, in unbroken
ranks, came most of the members of
the senate and house, in such a trib-
Ute as they probably never have given
on any occasion in the long years
since this country became a nation.
When he reached the White House
the president left the ranks and took
his place in the stand by Mrs. Wilson.
1t was the second time he had gone
afoot over Pennsylvania avenue. The
first was when he had led the pre-
paredness parade before the United
States went to war.
About 10000 men, women and chill
dren passed a reviewing stand before
the White House, where the president
and his guests watched the parade.
More than half of the long. line was In
uniform.

Clock pIaIs for Summer.

Instead of moving the hands of the
clock forward and back at the time of
changing from standard to summer
time. and vice versa. plan recently
proposed in England is to have clocks
provided with an adjustable dial. The
circular disk OF the dial would be put
In place By screws in curved slots, and
the dial would be rotated through one
hour space at the time Of making the
change, leaving the hands untouched.
It Is claimed that this plan is especial.
" desirable in the case Of striking
clocks, the hands OF which cannot be
moved back. The position of the dial
would also indicate whether the clock
was keeping summer or normal time.
The objection to this procedure, Of
course. is that practically everybody
tells time from position of the hands,
without any attention to the figures on
the dial.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAINT
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up . corn or caIlus so It lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so 1t can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle Of freezOne costs very
little at any drug store, but viii posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as It
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezons
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

COAST PLAYERS CONE HIGH
Big Prices Paid by st. Louis Browns
for Pacific Coast Stars-WaF
Won't Interfere.

Philip Ball, the former Federal
league magnate, who now is the owner
of the st. Louis Browns, is ready to
spend big money for new players. Ball
already has purchased two Pacific
Coast league stars. Pitcher Speed Mar
tin and OutfieIder Kenneth Williams
Robert Quinn, the business manager
and scout, has received authority from
Ball to buy up all the best players in
the minor leagues regardless of cost.
The Browns owner says that he does
not believe the war will hurt base
ball, and that a winning American
league team in st. Louis win yield
large profits. The success OF the Car
dinals probably has induced Ball to
loosen his purse strings.

WANTED
SHRINE OF THE "HoLY COAT"
Cathedral at Treves Contains One OF
Most jealousy Guarded Relies
OF the Roman Church.

At intervals of many years the old
Prince Bishopric of Treves, wakens out
of its half-slumbering condition and
becomes the center Of great pilgrim
age. Besides Its numerous Roman re-
mains, this quiet old town, claiming to
be 1900 years older than Rome, is the
shrine of the "Holy Coat" one Of the
most jealousy guarded relics In the
possession of the Roman church.
The citizens of Treves are very
proud of this seamless garment, and
they have given 1t prominent place
on their coat-of-arms, says the Dundee
Advertiser. It was not until 1906 that
the "Holy Coat" was placed over the
high altar, but it was not exposed to
the public gaze for some three hundred
years afterward. It was kept in a Sc
cret place of the cathedral known only
TO a few, and there were many who
doubted its existence. A guide book
of 1914 says:
"The existence of the relic at pres
ent is rather doubtful-at least, It is
not visible. The attendants of the
church say it rs walled up" All doubts
were removed In 1874, when Archbish-
OPP Arnold announced a centenary
Jubilee, at which it was exhibited to
million and half of pilgrims from all
parts of the world. The coat is loose
garment with wide sleeves, very sim
pie In form, of coarse material, dark
brown in color, probably as the result
Of age, and entirely without seam or
decoration
