A "Siaaraal cal.h

In answering a correspondent who
asked the meaning OF the term side
real time" the Irish Times explains
that that Is the only truly scientific
manner of recording time and is that
which astronomers and navigatOrs use.
4 "sidereal day is the precise time
taken by the earth in revolving on its
axis and is twenty-three hours, fifty
six minutes and four seconds. Our
4undials, however. record a very diff
ferent day.
II you set up a sundial in n garden
and observe when it Is noon today and
again tomorrow you will find that it
exceeds the ''sidereal day" by three
minutes and fifty-six seconds. The
difference is due to the distance that
the earth has travelled on its orbit
while 1t has been revolving on its axis.
The orbit motion makes 1t necessary
for the earth to turn nearly four min
utes longer in order to bring any place
to the same position with regard to
the sun that it had on the previous
day.

Teach ChildrAn Thrift.

We Americans are VIGOROUSLY the
most thriftless Of peoples. You have
heard how much we throw away. We
are too prone to think Of thrift as stin-
giness. We hate to hear about saving.
Dorothy Garfield Fisher In her recent
book, Self Reliance" gives parents q
strong word Of warning. She says:
There Is nothing In the fact OF being
children which need cut of our sons
and daughters from a great deal OF ac-
curate information and considerable
practical experience with the ms and
outs of wise money spending. But
there is a great deal in the fact Of their
being Americans which will shut them
of from such Information and expert
nee unless parents make a very deter
mined effort to see that they get the
proper training, for the whole spirit of
our country and age is against us in
the effort"

The Noxice's Mistake.

In ''Tales Of the Flying Service G.
G.. Grey tells about a strange entry In
the official report of al officer who had
recently Joined the service and was
sent to pass a seaplane through its
test for the English navy. He had to
go up as a passenger with the con-
structor's pilot and to keep a log Of
what occurred during the test.
This is what he put down: "9O5 a. m.
left slip; 9:lO a. m. altimeter shows
200 feet above sea; 9:12 a. m. curious
phenomenon. Met a seagull flying
backward!'
That meant that the machine, flying
ut the rate Of about eighty miles an
hour, overlook a seagull-which is not
a fast fyer-going at about forty miles
an hour, and that up in the air, with
out any background to give a proper
sense Of direction, the bird looked as
II it were flying toward them tail first.
Probably the officer knows better now.

M'GRAW STILL HOPES jim
THORPE MAY LEARN TO HIT
0lant Leader Seems obsessed With
Idea That Big indian May Yet
Become Great Ball Player.

There Is something about Jim
Thorpe that John McGraw can't re-
sist.
The Giant leader has sent Thorpe
on his way several times since he
signed him in 1913, but has always
brought him back to the Giant fold
for another trial.
McGraw appears to be obsessed with
the idea that some day Thorpe is 60
ing to make a wonderful ball player.
He has made Thorpe a sort of u hobby
and nothing would please him better
than being able to teach the big In
dian how to hit major league pitching
consistently.
When Thorpe was sent to the Reds
early in the season everyone thought
1t was a final farewell insofar as the
Giants We're concerned. But when
Mathewson finally turned him back to
the New York club, in August, Nc
Graw decided to keep him on the pay
roll, and as a result Jim became one
of the eligibles for the worlds series.
Lucky for Thorpe? Well, rather.
Any other manager in the two big
leagues would have turned Jim over
to some minor league club without a
moments hesitation, and he would
have watched the worlds series from
the outside.
In everything but hitting Jim
Thorpe is a very capable ball player.
He fields well ana runs the bases well.
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1917-12-21

He can cover outfield territory with
less effort than the average fielder, and
he is by no means the slowest thinker
In the big leagues today.
But when 1t comes to Walloping the
ball Jim is lacking. A curve ball will
cause Jim to tie himself into q bow
knot, and every pitcher in the National
league is Jerry to his weakness. Now
and then Thorpe gets hold Of a fast
one. and when he does it Is tough on
the fences, for he IS a long-f1y hitter.
But the trouble is that Jim doesn't hit
'em often enough to be Of much use
as a regular, for the outtielder who
fails to hit has no business in the line
up Of a major league club.
Thorpe is one Of the most wonder
fully developed athletes in the game
today. He is big, powerful, and fast
on his feet. His fame as a star or
track and field and on the gridiron
is well-known, but his fame rs a ball
player is a minus quantity.
Thorpe is twenty-seven years old.
He was born at Tucson, Ariz.. in 1890,
and he stands 5 feet II inches in
height and weighs 1875 pounds. He
got his A. Il. C.'s in baseball at Car
Isle, and before signing with the
Giants he played with Wilmington,
N. c.; Rocky Mount, Fayette and
Beaumont. Since he first came to the
New York club he has played with
Jersey City. Harrisburg and Milwau-
kee, and although he always hits we'll
in the minor leagues his bat fails him
when he faces big league slabbers.

The World IS Calling

Never has the demand been so great and the pros
pect for a continued heavy demand for hogs even after
the war is better than it IS for some other products.
And with the government promise to try and keep the

to go into the hog business right.
And aside from good stock the most important neces-
sity is.
A carefully planned, well located, warm and sunny

POTLU MAKES
GUN CAPTURES
BIG SPECIALITY

(By W. S. Forrest United Press Staff
Corespondent)
With the French Armies in the
Field, Nov. 2S.-CBy mail For max
ing a specially Of capturing German
bloekhouses and machine guns single
handed, George Van KENNEL, French
machine-gunner, was today officially
announced as recipient of the mill
tary medal as we'll as the title Of
Cheyalier of the Legion of Honor.
Van KENNEL is second Michael
OLeary.
Though he is a machine gunner
the French polu has chiefly earned
his honors by taking them from the
enemy.
When the French troops took the
first and second German lines on the
Vauclere plateau, Van KENNELS part
of the attacking wave was held mp
by an enemy machine gun as it APP
preached the trench. The French
mitrailleur, armed with rifle and
several grenades wormed his way
forward from shell hoie to sne,- .ole
to within fifteen yards Of the enemy
gun. His first grenade killed Ger
man gunner and his second blew the
machine gun from its position. Sew
eral Germans rushed forward from
shell holes to replace it but Van
KENNELS we'll aimed grenade killed
a few and forced the others to refuge
in blockhouse. The persistent
poilu followed and bayonetted the
first who tried to emerge. The
blockhouse was taken and the as
saulting M4ye swept on
Exactly four months later to a day
Van Kennel was again in the first
line and went over the top with the
first attacking wave. A little later
ne found himself alone far ahead Of
his comrades and seeing a block
house he promptly captured tt Two
Germans then opened fire on him
with machine gun from neighbor-
ing shell hole With only his rifle
and fighting the gun single handed
