SUNDAY BASEBALL
 ISSUE IS KILLED IN LITTLE ROCK
Travellers, However, Will Have Real Ball Team. May Win Appeal on
 Question

Little Rock, March 4. When you glance back at every clean-cut young man you pass and wonder if he is ball player on his way to training camp, and the youngster in the house. hold has glove in front of the door every time you come in, and triumph antly spends one-half of his monthly allowance for real catchers init, then you may know that spring has come and that the fever for the great est of all games is on again. Your heart warns to baseball, you see more in it that benefits young and old than all the creeds and doctrines that bill ious old gray beard ever could imag- inc, and you think the person who says anything against the game isn't quite right in his belfry.
 And yet with all these conditions here. the Arkansas house of represen- tatives has just killed bill that would have given the people of cities of this state the right to vote their own choice as to whether the grand old game should be played on Sunday.
 The Puritan brothers took the stand that it was a commercial, instead or humanitarian enterprise. That because somebody might incidentally make little money out of baseball, 1t was not to be thought of on Sunday. Of course the average legislator never hesitates to draw his pay for Sundays when the legislature is not in session-but it's wicked for anybody to make any money out of baseball or Sunday.
 Making money on a certain day of the week is wicked-breaking promises it not The legislators promised to vote to give the workingman a chance on Sunday. but when it came to the acid test they had on blinkers and could not see the hurdles. They were afraid of the fellers back t home. Had the bill been able to get through the house it would have had no trouble at all in the senate.
 Now we will just sit steady in the boat and see if the constitutional con vention to be held in November will not give the cities the power to regu- late their own affairs, and in this way permit the town that want Sunday baseball the right to indulge in it to their hearts content.
 As for a ball team in Little Rock, we are going to have one, and win ner. President Allen is back from the Birmingham schedule meeting, about as well pleased over the schedule as club president usually is, but thank ful that Little Rock is still on the map, and that Kavanaugh Field is going to be the best playing ground in the league this summer.
 Receipts have been received showing that all the players rendered contracts got them, but few of the signed docu- ments have come in. This is more be- cause of the fear of writer's paralysis than from grievances. Most of the players have had to stand cut, and some of them a generous one, but if they play ball this is going to come, for all over the league the big salaried artist is slipping into oblivion.

DISCOVERY OF AMERICA IN 458
RECORDED IN CHINESE HISTORY
BY BRIGGS

ed mirror about a foot in diameter
which had been made by the natives.
Doctor Fryer finds q verification of
Hui Shen's discoveries in America it.
self. He points out that the statute to
Wishipecocha, erected on a high rock
in the Mexican village of Magdalena,
as a tribute to the white man in flow
ing robes who taught the people to
abstain from evil, probably was a
monument to Hui Shen, who was not
a Chinese, but native of Kabul in
India, the center of Buddhist activities
for many centuries.
Cites the Elephant Faced God
Even the name, Doctor Fryer be-
lieves, is a translation into the Indian
tongue of Hui Shen bikshu (monk).
Furthermore, he finds striking veri-
fication in the Buddhistic influences
shown in the monuments and altars in
Mexico. There are figures evidently in
imitation of the cross legged Buddha
or Guatama in the temples at Uxmal
and Planeque. The Buddhist priests in
Tibet and North China were lamas;
the Mexican priests were tlamas.
There are hundreds of comparisons
made by Doctor Fryer, but none more
striking than the citation of the ele-
phant faced god of the Aztecs in the
land where an elephant never had
been seen. The elephant was the ordi-
nary symbol of Buddha in Asia. The
Buddhist cross too frequently is found
in the temples and monuments of the
Aztecs. All of which, Doctor Fryer be-
lieves, goes to verify the Chinese rec
ord of the discovery of America by the
Buddhist missionaries in the fifth
century.

INDUSTRIAL VOLUNTEERS,

NFFICIAL announcement that
" the work of "standardizing'
the large number of industrial
plants already offered to the gov
ernment in case of war is near
ing completion draws attention to IL
most wholesome state of mind in the
business world. Never in the history
of the country has there been such a
general response to the needs of the
nation in the face of possible war.
During the Civil War and, later, during
the Spanish h-American War, there We're
many ready enough to provide the
government with munitions and other
necessary supplies, but they wanted
the last penny for them and often
were none too particular as to quality.
1t is a notorious fact that many large
private fortunes were accumulated
through favorable government con-
tracts during the troublous days of
the sixties.
How different now. With war not
yet an actuality, thousands of gigantic
industrial plants, in which are invested
hundreds of millions of capital, have
been placed unqualifiedly at the dis
posal of the government. In effect, the
big business men of the country have
said TO the people of the United States:
tHere are our mills. Our fortunes and
those of others are in them. We have
spent our lives making these factories
the best OF their kind in the world.
Take them. Use them in the defense
OF our country. They are yours un-
til the war ends"
Could anything be finer? Here Is
patriotism only excelled by that of the
man who steps into the ranks of the
recruits and says: Here am 1; take
me-"
1t should give every Harrisburger a
thrill of pride that two of these in
dustrial volunteers are located right
here-the Schwab properties at Steel
ton and the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe
Bending Company, makers of shrap-
mel and shells of medium caliber of a
quality noted the world over. Mr..
Schwab was first to offer his plants to
Company was a close second. This in
dustry always has been a credit to
Harrisburg. 1t has given employment
to hundreds of men and its policies
toward workingmen have been always
fair and liberal. Some of its best and
most trusted employees are men who
went to it's mills after having been
turned away elsewhere. The effort of
its management always has been in the
direction of giving it's employees their
share of it's earnings, in generous
wages, and the profits of the corpora
ton, going to Harrisburg shareholders
have been invested for the most part
here in Harrisburg. Its president
David Tracy, is lead of the Chamber
of Commerce and has been a progress
sive, useful citizen for years.
The whole country may rejoice in
this manifestation of patriotism upon
the part of those whose services freely
given will be of vast advantage to the
nation. Certainly, Harrisburg is happy
IN contributing its share.

BRIDGE AT MILLERsBURG

TIME Millersburg Motor Club, ably
led by it's president, Hay w.
Bowman, the wcll-known news
paper publisher, put Millersburg on
the legislative map last night and in
troduced the State Highway Commits
sioner and certain very influential leg
islators to the needs of that town with
respect to bridge across the Susque-
hanna. The annual dinner of the club
is always an important event in the
upper end, but it was made doubly so
last night by the big boost the bridge
movement was given.
Millersburg needs a bridge across
the, Susquehanna, but in working to-
ward that end the people of that town
are also serving the interests of Dau-
phin. Perry, Schuylkill, Northumber-
land and surrounding counties for
many miles. The entire section of
which Millersburg is the center owes
TO the Motor Club of that place a debt
of gratitude for the intelligent and en-
ergetic campaign that organization has
waged in behalf of the desired bridge
When the structure actually is built
as it will be very soon-credit for the
success of the movement will have to
be given to the club.
Senator Beidleman has been for
years the champion of the movement
in the Legislature. Last session he got

TOMATOES

TIME Kansas City Times publishes
the story of home garden that
is worth repeating. In the little
village of Admire, Kans., Miss Hattie
Mckinley. a high school girl, won the
Kansas championship in tomato club
work last summer. She had only one
tenth of an acre, a plot sixty-five by
sixty-five feet in size, to work with.
She set tomato plants four feet apart
each way, and grew 1850 pounds of
tomatoes on 1t, which she sold for
1876. In any city of size these toma-
toes would have sold for at least twice
as much. She knew nothing of farm
ing, and she grew her own plants from
seed planted in boxes in the house.
The Times make the point that what
this girl did any girl can do on larger
or smaller scale.
The tomato is prodigious yielder
and grows under almost any condi-
tons. The tiniest plot of ground will
do wonders as tomato garden. A
half dozen plants may be made to
produce all a moderate size family can
use all summer. A dozen plants care
fully cultivated will grow enough for

Fire Apparatus Bids

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
How does the Council expect to de-
eide on the price and quality of the
different fire apparatus bids? 1t is a
lot of money to play with. Why not
call in some good expert who knows
something? Don't you think the public
should know? 1t is too large an amount
of money to be spent in slipshod sort
of way.
