New York. July 23.-Foreign events were again obscured in today's slug gish and professional stock market by domestic developments, chief among which was the presidents proclama- ton taking over the country's wire systems at the end of the month.
 Although such action seemed to have been discounted. sthe order was preceded by a 3 point break in Vest ern Union and irregular heaviness in other utilities which may eventually come within the scope of the govern ment's decree.

The Best Shortstop?

The spectacular playing of Donie Bush of the Detroit Tigers during the games against the Yankees at the Polo grounds, has revived that old as to the best shortstop in the American league. There is a wide difference of opinion on this subject due to the fact that the league is particularly well supplied with great shortstops. New York fans cannot be- lieve that any shortstop can play a better defensive game. day after day, than Roger Peckinpaugh of the Hug gins troupe. Boston fans rave about Everett Scott, marvel in grace and in one-hand playing. Philadelphia rooters regard Joe Dugan as the great est find made by Connie Mack since the days of Collins. On the western wing of the league the honors are claimed in different cities for Chap man, Weaver and Bush. Garber of the Browns may have his supporters after he has established himself. Take your pick; they all shine.

SAVE FOOD!

Dried foods are not ready to be placed in permanent containers as they come from the drier; they must undergo a preliminary conditioning or after drying treatment. No matter how dry and crisp the surfaces of the pieces may feel to the touch, there is a considerable percentage of moisture present in the interior. If such mate rial were at once placed in containers, the moisture present in each piece Of material would gradually distribute itself equally throughout the piece, while the air within the can would
 become almost saturated with moisture, and spoilage would soon be- gin.
 In order to avoid this danger se- cure a number of good-sized wooden boxes equal to the number of different products you are going to dry, line these with clean wrapping paper or newspapers, provide sheets of closely woven mosquito netting or cheese cloth to cover them, and place them 1 in a warm, darkened room. As ma terial is dried, bring it directly from | the drier and place it in the box set apart to that particular product. GOV ering the box with cheesecloth so that

Miss Harris M Goes Mile in :5S 1-4-"Pop Geers Drives Single G. Mile Under Two Minutes in Two Successive Heats Final Decision Application of Work or Fight Law to Baseball Today.

Toledo, O., July 2S.-Nor1u-s records were shattered on the new one-mile track here today in the inaugural of Grand Circuit racing in Toledo. Miss Harris M., in the free for all pace, went the first mile in 1.5S If, the fastest mile ever covered by a pacing mare. In the second heat of that event Edward F. (Pop) Geers drove Single G. mile in 1.59 1-2, giving that horse a new record and establish ing a record for the fastest two paced heats. GeerS also drove Single G.. the winner of the third heat and the race, in 1.59 3-4.
 In Miss Harris MS heat she travel ed the first quarter in 30 seconds, the half in 59 seconds, and last quarter in A 1-4 seconds. Her feat was the second fastest mile ever paced, Direc- tum holding the record of 1.58, made at Columbus in 1914.
 The second heat was the second time in his career that Geers had ridden a mile under two minutes.
 William, the worlds champion pacer, took the lead in the first heat and held it to the stretch. He was unequal to the dash and finished fourth.
 In two of the other races the favor ties won while the talent was jolted in the third.
 Miss Harris Ms accomplishment in covering the last quarter in 24 1-4 sec onds is probably the fastest quarter ever covered by a harness horse.

material, packing it down rather firm ly with the hands, fold the paper tightly into place over the top, taking care to leave no openings between the folds and put on the lid. If paper or muslin bags are to be used, It IS best to place the dry product in smaller bags, folding the neck of each over and tying it tightly, and to drop a number of these into a single larger bag which is in turn tightly tied. Such bags may be stored tight-fittins lid, but if a warm, dry, airy closet or storage room is avail- able it is a much better plan to in- close them in a larger bag and sus- pend them from the ceiling so that the air may have free access to them. The room in which dried materials are to be stored must be one which | is both warm and dry. The ordinary pantry or storeroom opening out of | the kitchen is not well suited to the purpose, for such a room is usually kept rather damp by steam from cooking, and dried materials readily | take up moisture which they do not have opportunity to give off into dryer air. If the house has an airy attic
 which is kept warm by fiues from
 the rooms below, it will furnish an
 ideal place for storing dried products
 of all kinds, which may be suspended
 from rafters or stored on shelves near
 the chimney where the heat will pre- vent any serious absorption of mois- ture during the winter. For the same reason, a closet near a chimney or radiator in a warm room is to be preferred to a storage in an unheated
 closet.
 In districts which have exceptionally
 long periods of constant rainfall or damp. muggy weather, or which are
 so near the ocean that high humidity prevails for long periods it will be

Cicotte concealed his methods so cleverly that he died detection. If Hogg is using the shine ball" he is getting away with it because the um- pires and the opposing players cannot discover how he turns the trick Hogg, by the way. has plenty of nerve and probably will remain in major league company.

Philadelphia fans are beginning to enthuse Connie Mack's new stars. George Burns, the big first baseman, who has succeeded Stuffy McInnis, has set Quakerville on fire with his great hitting. He made two home runs in one game recently and is the Athletics clean up man. Scott Perry's magni- ficent pitching is another reason for joy at Shibe Park.

Babe Ruth, the Red Sox pitcher is an ardent golfer, and quite an expert one. too. Ruth is one of the hardest hitting pitchers in the big leagues and he carries his batting punch onto the links. He was playing at Belle vue, near Boston, one day and some of the drives threatened to land in the next county, but the daddy of them all was the one he hit off the ninth tee.
 It is seldom that a drive carries the cross trap on this hole. The hole it. self is something like 260 yards, with the trap perhaps 30 yards short of it. Babe not only carried the trap, but

sodie Has the Last Lauqh

He who laughs last chuckles best. Ping Bodie will tell you so. For good many seasons the laugh has been on Bodie. He has been made the butt of column conductors and a standing joke among baseball writers through out the country, but particularly In the big leagues, where joshing would Sox it didn't take the scribes in Chi ruin many player.
 Whe Ping broke in with the White cago long to find out that Pings stock in trade was a mean bat, and that let him out. Ping wasn't what might be called a split-second thinker. He wasn't any too proficinet in covering ground, either They used to say that Ping could cover more ground than any other fielder in the big show sitting down.
 But with all of the joshing Ping went on in his nce-busting way. Turned to hammer to daylights out of the pitchers. He made more work for the .ground keepers in repairing fences in the Coast League than any other player who ever took picks on fast one in his favorite groove. So finally Ping came back.s
 Connie Mack believed that Bodie was not handled as well as he might nave been when d HleIuUeI u lI1G OoA So he brought Ping back to the big show, and his record with the Ath- letics last season shows pretty we'll He slammed the ball around to the tune of .291 and fielded well enough to suit Connie.

Neither shrubb Nor Lonaboat Dying

News Q1SDdCCl0S OdQdQd, peCu- liarly enough, carry denials that two famous long distance runners of a few years ago, Al Shrubb, the wonderful Englishman and Tom Longboat, the great Onondaga Indian marathon run ner, are dying. Longboat has been, up to a week ago, with the Canadian forces on the western front in France and reported in good health. Various rumors have had him dying in several places. Another story was to the ef- feet that he had joined the American army. Teddy Wood, another famous runner and holder of the worlds rec ord for fifteen miles, met his death in the same line Of army work that the ] Indian is doing.
 1 This story about Shrubb comes from | Canada: "Shrubb is a long way from ! being measured for a wooden kimona. 1 He is so busy these days ploughing and seeding his farm near Bowman vile that he could not spare time to attend the annual meeting of the Toronto Bowling club, of which he is vice president. He wrote Tommy Ryan, telling him that he was too busy watching the sun come up to want to bother with the brighter lights, and
 told him to go ahead with the ten pin stuff. He was as healthy as a tWo- | yedr-OlQ then, so II IS a clncn that ne is not on life's last lap today as the
 New York dispatch would have the
 fans believe
 Longboat right now is serving as a
 runner" with the Canadian expedi- tionary forces. He has been in the
 thick of the danger right along, and has been knocked over by the concus-
 sion of bursting shells twice, but suf- fered no hurt on either occasion. Ac-
 cording to a letter just received Long
 boat craves to do two things before
 the Huns get" him. I'd like to wir
 a military medal to go with my track prizes,' said Tom, and I would alsC like to meet the man who impersonateC

A Variety of Containers.

A considerable variety of containers may be employed for storing dried vegetables or fruits. The essential features of good container are that it shall be insect proof but not abso- lutely alright, and that it exclude the light Heavy paper bags, stout paste board boxes, muslin bags which have been dipped into melted paraffin lard cans or other tin cans having reason ably closeftting slip covers. and tight wooden boxes similar to those in which commercial evaporated fruits are packed may well be employed with entire success.
 If boxes or cans are to be used, they should be lined with several layers of waxed paper-ordinary paraffin paper is excellent - which should be so placed in the box that the second layer covers the joints of the first and that the ends project beyond the sides | of the box sufficiently far to allow
 them to be folded snugly over the top | to exclude insects. Then pour in the

the air may have free access to the contents while insects are kept out. At intervals of a day or two stir the contents of the box thoroughly and when fresh batch of produce is brought from the drier mix it thor oughly with that already in the box.
 Continue this process for ten days to two weeks. During the first part of this time the products apparently will take on moisture, crisp and brittle pieces will become pliable and leath- cry, and the inexperienced housewife may be led to fear that the whole mass is about to spoil. But the ma terial will then gradually become drier by loss of moisture to the atmosphere and presently it will become apparent
 that no change is occurring in it from day to day. Now remove the material from the boxes, place it in the drier or in the oven of the stove, and heat it gradually up to 1S0 de grees F. to destroy any insect eggs which may have been deposited in it, and at once place it in permanent con tainerS
