M'GRAW STILL HOPES JIM
THORPE MAY LEARN TO HIT
Giant 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 wonderful ball player.
He has made Thorpe a sort of 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 final farewell insofar as the
Giants were 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 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 very capable ball player.
He fields we'll and runs the bases we'll.
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 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, Cor he is lOng-fy hitter.
But the trouble is that Jim doesn't hit
'em often enough to be of much use

A Good Greed.

You can't make a real success with
out making real enemies.
You can't hold strong position,
without strong opposition.
You can't seem right to any If you
don't seem wrong to many.
A useful life can't be entirely peace
full and carefree.
Every earnest man in every genera
ton has paid the price of individuality
You can't dodge.
The greater you are, the greater the
penalty of your progress. The further
you 60, the wider your range OF con-
tact with which you must reckon, and
therefore, you multiply your battles
against miscOnception and SANDER and
envy and malice.
You can't avoid or evade your al
lotted destiny-you can only hold down
your share Of troubles by holding back
In every sphere men gibe and sheer
even the peace of the ditch-digger is
threatened by the unemployed laborer'
who covets his job.
So long as you aspire, others will
conspire-so long as you try others will
vie.
You'll have hostility to face in every
place and at every pace.
Go straight ahead to your goal.
So long as your conscience isn't:
ashamed to acknowledge !ou as a.
friend, don't give rap for your enc
mics.

Cheese and Greens Roll.

Cook two quarts of spinach, Swiss
chard or other green. Drain and dress
with one tablespoonful of butter. Chop
and add one cupful Of grated cheese
and bread crumbs enough to make a
mixture sufficiently stiff to form into a
roll. Place in oblong pan and cook in
moderate oven for 20 minutes.
When cold the mixture may be
sliced in half-inch pieces and served on
lettuce leaves with salad dressing.
If desired, leave the mixture more
moist and bake in casserole or baking
dish and serve hot.

Clever Scientists Have
Often Proved HopeIessIy
Wrong in Their Conclusions.

Sir Humphrey Davy's dogmatic pro-
nouncement against gaslighting is not
the only instance of a clever scientist
being hOplessly wrong. The early his
tory of submarine cabling furnishes
two striking examples.
Consulted on the scientific side of
the project, Farraday asserted that the
first cables were made too small. Then
he said that "the larger the wire the
more electricity would be required to
charge it," and in this quite incorrect
opinion he was supported by other emf
nent scientists. AS result of this
dictum the current was increased until
the operation "electrocuted" the wire
and the cable broke down.
It was Lord Kelvin who by sending
messages through heavy cables with
incredibly weak electric current proved
that Faraday was mistaken, says the
Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
Airy submitted the project to mathe-
mates and arrived at the conclusion
that cable could not be submerged to
the necessary depth and that if it could
no recognizable signal could ever
travel from Ireland to Nova Scotia.
In aviation the late Doctor New
comb, one of the most distinguished
mathematician the world has ever
produced, declared that he had mathe-
matically investigated all the condi-
lions operating against the heavier
than-air machine and was convinced
that the )airplane would never be any
more than scientific toy, and the pos
sibility Of an airplane motor being re-
liable in the reduced atmospheric pres
sure above 5000 feet was by several
experts said to be out of the question.

Some Observations.

The trouble with some folks is
that they don't consider they are
having q good time unless they
are making . nuisance of them
selves.
Nobody works quite so well
as the man who has had a good
nights sleep.
A man may think he is hiding
his designations from his en-
ployers but his work tells.
It's easy enough to find
friends in fair weather; the man
with an umbrella to lend when
it is raining is the bird.
. AS a general rule If the boss
isn't on the job himself the
clerks aren't either.
The history books would be
:, bigger than they are If all men
had accomplished half the things
they intended to do.

Here is one way to utilize leftover
meat by spreading its flavor:
Meat and Bread-Crumb Cakes.
To four parts of chopped or ground
meat, add one part soaked bread
crumbs. small quantity of chopped
onion, and salt and pepper to taste.
Mix and form into small round cakes.
Brown the cakes in butter or other fat,
turning them.
Raw ground meat may be used. If
so, the pan should be covered so that
greater heat will be applied.

POULTRY POINTERS

When chicks are confined to a lin
tied range, the ground should be
spaded up at frequent intervals, so as
to provide fresh ground for them to
scratch In.
Any pullet that does not begin lay
ing before the first extremely cold
weather will seldom lay many eggs
during December and January.
On the farm where pullets have
plenty Of range, hopper feeding gives
very satisfactory results; that is, GER
tain food Is put into self-feeding hop
per where it is always available.
There Is no economy, in giving only
one kind Of feed, because fowls and
chicks need variety in order to get
the required amount of the different
kinds of nourishment.
A dirty water dish offers a good
chance for the distribution of disease
germs, and all dishes should be cleaned
and scalded with bsiling water fire.
quently during hot weather.
Unless there Is plenty of gravel or
other grit which the fowls can pick up
about the place, they should always
have box Of commercial grit where
they can reach 1t at any time, for grit
is necessary for perfect digestion.
Geese do not need shelter except dur
ing cold winter weather, when open
sheds may be provided.
AS, the weather changes in the fall
1t is poor policy to let the pullets
roost outside. Frosts and chilling
winds retard their development and
cause q serious setback from which
they are slow to recover.
Il your flock is penned up, do not
neglect the meat constituent of the
ration.
The chief danger in feeding oats lies
In the hulls. 1t is too expensive to
buy hulled oats, and about the only
way to eliminate the trouble is to soak
the oats, or, still better, sprout them.
Poultry uses feed more economical
~ probably than any other class Of
farm animals when 1t is carefully han
died.
Mites can easily be efadicated by

Here is suggestion for making a de-
licious dish for an inexpensive steak.
Mock Duck.
On round steak cut thin, place a
stuffing of bread crumbs well sea-
soned with chopped onions, butter or
other fat, SALT pepper, and flavorings
such as sage, celery seed. etc., if de-
sired. Roll the steak around the stuff
fing and tie in several places with a
string. If the steak is tough. steam or
stew the roll until tender before roast
ing in the oven.
If desired, the roll may be cooked in
a casserole, in which case cupful or
more Of water should be added.

War Methods
Changing
~ Ex-Covernor Hoard

Against our will, we have been
forced into the greatest conflict ever
known. Our national life and liber-
ties and those Of our children are at
stake, and we are in this war with
very meager preparation. Fortunate
ly in the last three years to supply
the allies we have learned how to
manufacture in large quantity guns,
munitions and other war supplies.
This has given us tens of thousands
of mechanics and artisans SO trained
that large output of these war nee
essities can be quickly had.
This war has made clear what we
all ought to have known and that is
that the volunteer system of service
utterly fails in a crisis, besides being
obviously unjust and undemOcratic.
Experience shows there is only one
plan that will work and that is uni
yersal military training and service.
Aside from the training that will now
be given the men called by the selec-
tive draft, we must permanently adopt
the plan of giving every young man
before he enters business career at
least six months Of intensive training
to build up his physique and develop
him in strength and virility. Nothing
else will do so much for him; these
men to be subject to call for service,
and they should be made available for
any kind of service necessary to main
tain the army and navy in time Of
war. 1t is quite as necessary to pillow
corn as to dig trenches. A man may be
able to render higher service to his
country behind the pillow or at lathe
in workshop than by operating a
machine gun in battle line. Every
one must be brought to understand
that he owes duty to his country
that in a crisis must be paid in per-
'sonal service of such kind as the cOun-
try may require Of him. No matter
what that service may be, six months
of intensive military training Is the
best possible preparation he can have
for it.
In return for the blessings and op-
pOrtunities Of freedom we enjoy, we
owe our country a duty that must be
paid even If life must be sacrificed.
We have no right to shirk responsible
1ty and endeavor to place the burden
upon others.
We must WIN this war, or God help
us. Germany is a mighty foe and to
defeat her We must 60 the limit. If
we do not Wit. liberty and popular gov
eminent may be lost to the world.
There is one lesson we must now
learn, that Wa should have learned
years ago, and that Is never again to
be caught in d position where we are
30 completely unready to defend our
selves. We must adopt and perrna-
nently maintain universal military
training. Without this our national
life will never be secure. There is no
assurance that the present will be the
last war. Such predictions have been
made after every war. There Is only
one way and that Is to be strong and
ready. 1t is quite probable that If we
had been prepared tie kaiser would
not have trampled upon our rights and
we would not have been forced into
this awful war. Now that we are in,
we must 60 through to the end and the
harder we fight the sooner 1t will be
over.
