There are about siXty-four indi-

there would probably be about one
pat collected each day, in the
average household.
But II every one of our 20, 200. 900

Robert Services poem "The Song of the Wage Slave" was very well told at the Coliseum last night by Edmund Breesc, who played the part of Ned Lane There is some thing gripping to Services poems, not because he is one of us up here, or rather. was one of us, but be- cause there is always something in them that is human, they are life like. Helen Martin, in the part O. Mildred Hale, is giving a con- scientious part to play and does it most exceptably. Kittens Rei- chert. who is we'll known to Juneau audiences has a dainty little child's part. The comedy with this produc- ton is also lively.

Hoot mon, but all the Scotch and English people in Juneau should be attendants at the new program at the Palace. Last night the only thing missing at that theatre to make one imagine he was right in some Scotch settlement was the ab- sence of bag pipes and Scottish mu- sic by the orchestra.
 Secret Love" was the name of this Scotch play but it might just as well have been Bonnie Lassie" or any other title. It has to do with the English miners, story of tho low life, but most interesting and for the most part q tangible story. There are several big scenes we'll worked up and several thrill ing bits. one a lengthy and fierce fight in an inn and the other where two men fight on a high cliOf, ul- timatcly one being dashed on the rocks in the gulch far below.

 RlNa-mAr AND GENERAL ITEMS

 and 1, F FIELD ElI
By PETER P. CARNEY.

A mistake in the scoring of the targets broken by A. R. Sternerson, of Jewel, la, in Iowa State shoot in Mason City, in 1914, prompted that gentleman to invent machine for the scoring of trapshooting com petitions.
 The machine, ready for work, is situated about half way between the firing line and the traps. and is operated by means of two levers, connecsod with the machine by Iointed rods, from behind the shoot CT. The operator is also the referee.
 The figure l, two inches tall, is marked for a broken target. and an o of the same dimension for a lost target.
 The feature of the machine is that the score is always visible to the trapshooter, and should a mistake occur it could be corrected immcd- lately. At the present time the scoring is done to the south of the fifth peg on the firing line by an assistant to the referee, and as trap shooters seldom ever look at the score until through firing at their full quota of targets, it is then too late to make corrections if a mis- take has been made.
 These mistakes occur at tines as we mentioned in the opening par one happened to Mir. Stern erson, and he hopes through this machine to avoid mistakes in the future. In the Iowa State shoot in 1914 Sternerson broke 15 targets at Trap 1; 14 on Trap ?; 15 on Trap 3, and then another 15 on Trap l. After this Sternerson took a look at the scores and found that he had been credited with only 13 breaks on Trap 8. To say he was somewhat peeved is putting it mild ly. He was so peeved that he at once formed a plan to eliminate the will occur if the ma chine is universally used.

to a ball club-a great pitcher or a great hitter?
 Here is a question that may be argued from morning till night, and many reasons can be advanced from both ends of the argument.
 But if you want to take sal ary basis for it, the argument will end in favor of the great hitter, for the club owners prove it by the salaries they pay.
 Take the great batters of the game. Speaker, Cobb, Chase, Wag- ner, Jackson and others. Speaker, Cobb and Wagner have for a num- Der of years been the highest sal aried players in the game, and whenever it comes to squeezing the biggest salary out of the pocket. book of a club owner, the great offensive player has the best chance The magnates are willing to pay more money for the offensive stal than they will part with for . player whose main value is his de- fensive strength, for baseball is . game where offensive playing is tho most difficult and whenever 2 player shines above his fellows il attacking power he can commant the largest salary every time.
