BASEBALL FUND
 TO AID TROOPS

Baseball fans, who appreciate the joy that comes with pursuit of the na- tional pastime, are in sympathy with the effort of Sergeant R. E. Blakeman, marine recruiting officer in charge of the local station, to stimulate interest in the Clark c. Griffith ball and bat fund.
 Sergeant Blakeman has the exclusive authority for Arizona to collect money for this fund, instituted by Manager Griffith of the Washington baseball club, and destined to purchase base balls and baseball bats for the use of the soldiers over there'
 The first big consignment of balls and bats sent to Europe went down with transport which was sunk. On board was big supply, representing a considerable amount of money. MT. Griffith was of the opinion that Ameri- cans are fully aware of the health giving and pleasure stimulating quail ities of baseball playing, and that i their whole hearted support would | be given to raising the fund.

 FIGHT FOR CANADA
{ The Outlook)

tine Outl0Ok)
 Nhlle the two white races in Canada. rlehcn ana English, are indulging in the bltterest kind of argument as to what ought to be the attitude of Can. ada in helping to win the world war against Germany, it is pleasing to ob- serve the unanimity with which the old time Indian allies respectively of france and England have each re- sponded to the call Centuries ago the great struggle for the possession or the North American continent was Waged between the English and Iro- quols Indians on the one side and the French and Algonquins on the other slde. Now the Algonquin and Iriuuois are fighting side by side in the same Indian units in France against a common enemy.
 At the present time it is estimated that fully five thousand North Ameri- can Indians are fighting in Canadian pattallons Tn France. When the great war began. few Indians enlisted in the battalions which comprised the first contingent, but did so entirely On their own initiative and without any encouragement from the Canadian war office. Then came the order that no Indians were to be recruited for the Canadian army.
 Hurt, but undaunted, the Indians voted money from their tribal funds to the Canadian and British Red Cross societies. they bought and presented | machine guns, and they personally subscribed to patriotic funds from the modest revenue of their farms, or their returns from fishing, hunting or trap ping
 Petitions and deputations were, how ever, sent to Ottawa by the chiefs and their councils and finally. when county | battalions were authorized throughout Canada permission was granted ito or ganize Indian units as base companies When these local battalions finally embarked for overseas, the Indians

MADE MUCH FUN OF
 AT PROF. LANGLEY
Chicago Evening Post. )

Recently the congress of the United States made an appropriation tc de- velop the fighting flying service of the United States army and navy It was only few years ago that congress refused seriously to consider a bill to make possible intelligent investigation and experimentation along the aerial service lines.
 If Samuel F. Langley were alive he would be enjoying his hour of triumph. It was Langley who was the pioneer of mechanical aerial navigation. It was he who made the first heavier ! than-air machine that would fly. Lit tie honor was paid to him while he was living, but now when it is too late for the investor to feel the sense of qualification and triumph, all honor is given him. It was just one year be- fore the present war broke out. a war which has seen a wonderful develop ment of the science of flying, that recognition was given to the work of Samuel Pierpont Langley in the field | of the air.
 Langley was laughed at by the world, but he kept his faith and his | courage, both being sustained by the friendship and the belief in him and his work of a few scientists who knew l that it was the worlds custom to sheer or to laugh when some brave one was | trying to accomplish the seemingly | impossible.
 | In the year 1913 leading American scientists met in the city of Washing ton to witness the unveiling of a bronze tablet in the Smithsonian in- stitution to commemorate Langleys years of labor and study to make pos sible navigation of the air by man Langley died just before completed airplane carrying a passenger made it's first successful flight. The prin- ciples which he had laid down had
 proved their soundness, and today honor is given his memory as that oi the practical pioneer in the field ot
 aviation.

THE SAILORS WHO
FIGHT BELOW DECKS

A very common error with most
people is to assume that a gunner
necessarily works a gun. The duties
of the gunner and those of others of
his rank lie in the magazines and shell
rooms. 1t is the gun-trainer and gun
layer who are responsible for the
work of the guns, says Patrick Vaux
in Boys Life for November.
When their ship goes into action
the men in the shell rooms and other
munition stores know it is all or moth
ing for them. They reach their posts
only from the upper deck, for all
the watertight doors leading from
compartment to compartment are
closed, and overhead the heavy ar
mored door in the deck is shut down.
They can hear hardly a sound as the
ship steams onward to the attack.
Already the hydraulic or electric lifts
have gently hoisted the great projec-
tiles and the cartridges directly to
the breech of the turret guns.
Suddenly, bang! goes the left gun
of the particular turret overhead, and
everything, including the floor of the
shell room, shakes violently, and the
conclusion, coming down the armored
casing of the hoist that leads up into
the gun chamber, sends blast of air
through the magazine, sinking with
the sharp acrid fumes of explosives.
Bang! goes the right gun almost ST.
multaneously. Then ensues a con-
tinuous crashing of the great cannon,
and through the clamor and tremen-
dous clatter come the sucking hiss of
the hydraulic pressure and the faint
understanding voices shouting or
ders from the working chamber of
the laundering monsters.
From time to time the men in the
