players.
At first he met opposition from
many owners, but soon received the
assistance of Ban Johnson, who was
far-sighted enough TO see the beneht
organized baseball would derive from
this training.
Huston took personal pride IN the
training OF his own players and before
an army officer was sent to the yam

himself.
Huston recognized when he first
went into baseball that he must give
the people the worth OF their money

that purpose, by the Duke of York, and was decorated with gilt crowns. Authors frequently referred to it and in Pope's writing we find:
 Where the tall May Pole once o'er- looked the Strand"
 In the year 1713, the members of both Houses of Parliament went to St. PauPs Cathedral to render thanks for the Peace of Utrecht. On this occa- sion the orphans of London were seat ed on stands directly back of the Pole, which was decorated with English flags for the occasion. They watched the procession from this point and sang hymns as the parade passed. The Pole was taken down four years later and purchased by Sir Isaac Newton, to be used at Wanstead, England. for the support of his great telescope, which had been presented to the Royal Society by the French astron- omer Hugon. Other May. Poles are scattered over rural England one of which supports the weather-cock in the church yard at Pendleton.
 In Germany, especially in Sudbury and Munich the May Pole is still pop ular. Wooden figures dressed to rep resent German peasants are set up at it's base and the girls and boys dance around the wooden figures singing German folk songs.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-05-02

the May Poles came down, and the French people had to content them selves for a time with going to the woods and bringing in branches with which they decked their homes. Even May Day dancing was prohibited for a time.
 The planting and decorating of May Poles are known as far back as 1499, when the poles were frequently adorned with small gilded pennants. Sometimes 8 flower pot filled with posies was placed on the top. Many of the Poles in the early days were painted blue and white and kept standing from season to season, be- ing repainted early in the spring of each year. London had many May Poles before the wave of Puritanism swept over the country. Many par ishes vied with each other in the height and decoration of the poles.
 Famous Poles.
 The most famous English May Pole was erected just after the Restoration, when in 1861, the popu1ace had a great May Day jollification by erecting tall pole in the most conspicuous part of the Strand. It was brought in from the country in triumph, with music and drum beating. It was raised by seamen who were sent for

cut down large tree and bring it into town followed by the populace, who danced and sang as the tree was dragged through the streets to, the public square. There it was set up and, garlanded with flowers and streamers. Some metimes flags were used as decoration. At one time a May Pole set up in Chester, England, had for. it's decoration the St. George red cross with white pennant or stream CT emb1azoned with a red cross term mating like the blade of a sword.
 May Poles Ordered Down.
 There is some controversy as to whether the May Pole had it's origin in England or France, hut 1t is certain that both countries had them during the early part of the seventeenth cen tury for at that time a sort of wave of puritanism swept over both coun- tries and for a time May Poles were forbidden. An Act was passed by the English Parliament in 1644, ordering all May Poles removed as they were menace to church worship. May Poles were not permitted to be erected again until after the Restora- ton. In France Charles I, in 1883. decided that May Poles tended to keep the people from divine service, ] and r"~re detriment to religion. SC

cent medical organization known as the Medical Corps,s U., S. A. The Di- rector General of Civilian Relief is MT. Ernest P. Bicknel1, who is known internationally through his work in cooperation with the Rockefeller Fund in relief work in warning Flu rope.
 The Department of Military Relief Is comparatively new, having been the direct result of the "Preparedness' movement. The object of it's crea- ton was to furnish the machinery by which the American Red Cross would carry out the purpose of it's charter so far as concerned the furnishing of volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of armies in war and as a medium of l communication between the people of the United States and their Army and Navy.
 The organizations created by the i Red Cross to assist the medical serv- ice of the Army and Navy in time of war are usually spoken of as military | units. Of these the most important | is the base hospital because, being To- cated at the military base behind the service at the front. it is the first real hospital encountered by the wounded soldier in his journey from the firing | line toward home. There for the first time he finds a good bed and a l trained nurse.
 | A Base Hospital Mobilized.
 Twenty-Five of these base hospitals are now organized, either completely
 or in great part. One of them, Base Hospital No. 4, located at Cleveland
 Ohio, was mobilized in October last

ity of the scheme. This mobilization was an entire success and demon strated that the Red Cross base hos pltal is a reserve organization of the utmost value to the medical service of the country and can be relied on in a very short period of time to be ready to receive patients and to afford them the highest grade of professional skill in any place where their services are needed
 The Medical Bureau of the Military division of Red Cross work, which is under the supervision of Major Robert V. Patterson, U. S. A., has general charge of the male personnel of the organizations. Red Cross base hos pital units are organized for service with the Army and Navy, and when | reported by the national headquarters they are placed on a roll in the Sur geon Generals office of the branch of service for which enrolled.
 The Red Cross muster-in roll con- templates an engagement with the Red Cross by which the individual | agrees to hold himself ready for serv- ice in the organization for a period of two years. When, however, a unit is called into active service with the Medical Department of the Army or Navy, this engagement is terminated | by the various classes of Individuals entering either service in their differ ent capacities and under the condi- 1 tions prescribed by law for the several grades. It is anticipated that in the case of Army enlistments these will be in the volunteer forces and the term of enlistment will be limited to the duration of hostilities.
 Men To Enlist In Medical Corps.
 A class known as Male Administra- tive Personnel includes all men who when the unit is called into active service, will enter the service of the Medical Department of the Army by enlistment. At least fifty are required for enrolment in an army unit. Int period of enlistment is four years un. less sooner discharged. For such en listment, applicants must be betweer the ages of IS and 45, and must mee the physical educational and practica
