Teach Children Thrift.

Thrift is a very important element
IN character. Those who learn to be
economical in youth have no difficult
Ties when they are responsible for the
income necessary to maintain home.
1t is the man or woman that allows
want to dominate and lives beyond
the income that has difficulties when
the income is small. Children should
be taught economy and thrift early in
life. They should be given a chance
to earn and q chance to use their
earnings. This will give them respon-
sibility and teach them the worth Of
money.

Thinks Mermaid Was Manatee.

The Journal Of Heredity rises to re-
mark that the first mermaid in all
probability was not pure invention. In
all probability the mermaid story
started when some ignorant seafaring
man saw nothing less than q manatee
disporting himself through the distant
waves. At some distance, the scienti-
ac periodical observes, the manatee or
rSea COW" does not look unlike a hui
man being, the shape of it's head and
facial formation when indistinctly
seen taking on the appearance of life
closely akin in mankind.

Much Improved Player

However, there should be big diff
ference between the Ruth in 1915 and
1916 and the Ruth in the world series
of 1918. Babe has been soaking the
ball this year at a lively clip and Is
in the select 800 class. He started
out like house afire, slamming home
runs, triples and two -baggers with
reckless abandon. but of late Babe
has toned down little and is salts,
fled with a few singles.
When Ruth was on his slugging
spree he made three homers on sue
cessive days and followed with four
in a row. He had the Indian sign on
all opposing pitchers, who got into
the habit of handing him four balls.
for one base instead of one ball for
four bases. His work featured all
of the games and Manager Barrow
considered him such a valuable asset
that he was moved to the outfield,
where he could play regularly.
Ruth's greatest batting feat was
staged at the Polo grounds early in
the season, when he hit three of the
longest drives ever seen on these
grounds. The first travelled into the
right field bleachers, but Billy Evans,
the umpire, called it a foul.
How far was it off. Bill?" asked
Ruth when he returned to the plate.
About six inches" was the reply.
We'll. guess I'll have to soak an
| other" muttered Babe, and sure
enough. the next ball sailed into the
hleachers, fair by Is feet.

regular cakewalk for the Boston
team.
But throwing out the dope and
coming right down to present day
facts and conditions, the betting
should be even money and take your
pick.
The Cubs this year have often
shown that in real pinch they could
deliver the goods. But until now
they have always had a cripple or
some weak member to carry. To-day
every man of them is in form and
capable of delivering the best that is
in him.
In other worlds series IL has been
the man behind the bat who has had
much to do with the clubs winning.
In this series the Cubs have Killefer,
the leading catcher of the National
League. Agnew or Schang do not
compare with Killefer in speed,
throwing power and all around work.
In the series of 1914, when the
Boston Nationals gave the Athletics
their waterloo and broke up a COM
years, Mitchell and Tyler, now of the
Cubs, took part in the slaughter and
helped greatly in the work of de-
struction. In that memorable series
Tyler pitched the third game, which
was the opener at Boston, and won
it, 5 TO 4, in twelve innings.
1t would be a baseball coincidence
If the Cubs turned the trick for
Mitchell again and won four games
right off the reel.

YANK RIFLES
WINNING WAR
Germans Amazed by Accu-
racy of This Weapon When
in Hands of Americans

Many persons who have never
handled a rife and show no relish
for learning. wonder why all this
commotion about trap-shooting at
this period of American history. The
Associated Press in its correspond
ence gives one explanation very deti-
nitely and authoritatively. Says the
writer. under date line of Paris:
The effect of American rife fire
has been one of the great surprises
TO the enemy during the recent en-
gagements along the front As re-
suit the rifle is fast coming back to
its own as the dependable weapon
for infantry lighting. For a time its
place was challenged by the hand
grenade and some of the English and
French experts took the view that the
grenade would gradually supersede
the rifle. Trench warfare had &C
customed both sides to the grenade
so that the rifle was seldom brought
into use.
Even with the two weapons avail
able, the troops had become accus-
toned to use the grenade rather than
would often be chased until his pur-
suer was near enough to throw a
grenade when a rife ball would have
brought down the fugitive from
distance.
All this has been changed however.
by the open lighting of the present
offensive and the unusually effective
use the Americans have made OF the
rife General Pershing has main-
tained from the first that the rife
was the indispensable weapon for
infantry, and while the grenade has
not usen neglected, every American
unit has been thoroughly trained in
rife practice.
Many of the National Guardsmen
as well as the regulars were crack
rifle shots, winners in tournaments
and veterans of the rifle ranges
maintained at home. These ranges
have become q notable feature of the
training on this side, until the whole
American organization has become
specially proficient with the rifle.
German prisoners all recount the
same story, that the greatest sur
prise came from the impetuosity OF
the American troops. and after that
that the sweeping fire of the Ameri-
can rifle caused the greatest con-
sternation and loss. Accustomed to
waiting for . grenade attack at close
quarters, the mass formations of the
enemy were suddenly exposed to con-
centrated rifle fire at a distance,
with every shot from trained
marksman who was not blazing into
the air, but was picking out his tar
get and sending his ball home.
This experience has fully sustain
ed the American contention for the
rife as against the grenade, and
French and English military experts
are agreed in the enthusiastic ap-
proval t,iey give the Americans as
rifie@.en and in the view that the
rife has again demonstrated its right
10 be considered the paramount
weapon for infantry fighting.
