UMPIRE IN PLACE OF BULL
Mexican Editor IL of Opinion That
Baseball is More Spectacular
Than Scientific.

Jose CampOs is the editor of the Ex-
cesior a daily paper of Mexico City.
When in New York recently the Next
can spent an afternoon ut baseball
game. He thus records his impressions
In New York Herald.
A large game of baseball was cele-
brated this Afternoon in the Polo arena
In the city of the Bronx, large ride
by train from New York city. AS is
the custom of the United States of
North America, many of the business
houses closed for the afternoon, so EN-
ployees might attend the spectacle. AT
least 100000 civilians, soldiers and
many women and children were pres
ent.
The pitcher for the New York city
The baseball clothing is not as pretty
as that worn by the toreador, but the
players carry themselves well. The
game Is played with the hands, but is
not like pelota in any respect. The OBJ
ject is to keep the ball Off the ground.
and the troupe which does so the long
est wins the game.
In place of bull baseball has an
umpire, man who does not play the
game, but who is authority of the
game. Unlike the judge of the bull
fight he stands on the field. He is
not goaded with pixies, banderillas and
finally the sword, as Is the bull, but Is
the recipient of abuse from both play
ers and the multitude seated in the
huge arena. Instead of another bull"
the crowds when displeased yell Get
the hook" The umpire Is also called
"robber" and big fathead.'
The people at baseball game con-
tinually are eating or chewing gum or
smoking. But these occupations of the
mouth do not prevent perpetual yell
ing. 1t is difficult for one knowing lit
tie English to understand the things
cried mt the players or the umpire. But
l assume from the manner of express
sion that words common to the lower
classes are used.
On large board at the back of the
field is enumerated the number of
times that each troupe drops the ball.
The troupe dropping the bali the few
est times wins the game. Unlike the
bull fight, it is difficult to predict which
will win. In that respect the American
game of baseball is typical of all
things American-it is more spectacu-
lar than scientific. l think if l under
stood English perfectly and had played
baseball all my life and had not been
born a Mexican l should like to see a
baseball game every year on my birth
day anniversary,

Japanese Cities open Public Markets.

The large cities of Japan are making
efforts to keep down prices of food
stuffs by opening municipal markets.
Ever-increasing cost of living has
caused this step to be taken. The re-
suits at Tokyo have been satisfactory
In Osaka market has been opened by
the authorities in each ward, greatly to
the public benefit.
The government has taken up the
matter, and the home minister, at the
recent conference of prefectural gov
errors, urged the necessity of protect
ing the public from eXactiOns of middle
men and proiiteers. He assured the
established retailers that, so long as
they asked fair profits, the government
policy would be to let them alone, but
in cities where markets had been es-
tablished by the local authorities the
latter would be sustalned.-East and

Make a sponge Of all the ingredient!

Make a sponge of all the ingredients
except the rice and barley flour. The
potatoes used should be freshly mashed
with no fat or milk added. The water
in which they are cooked can be used
for the liquid. Let this sponge stand
in warm place until very light. If
dry yeast is used, set the sponge the
night before it is needed.
Add rice flour and barley flour when
the sponge is light. Knead and let
rise until double in bulk. Knead again,
form into loaf and allow to rise until
bulk is again doubled. Brush over the
top of loaf with melted fat before
putting it to rise.
All breads made with substitute
flours are better If baked in single-loaf
pans or in rolls or buns.
This recipe will make one large loaf.
Bake for one and a quarter hours in
a hot oven.

Food Inspectors Help.

The housewife can see at a glance
how much food she is to get for her
money when 1t is in package form and
labeled in accordance with the pro.
visions of the federal food and drugs
act, say the officials of the bureau Of
chemistry Of the United States de.
partment OF agriculture, charged with
the enforcement Of that law. The fed.
eral food and drugs act provides that
all food In package form, shipped into
interstate or foreign commerce, shall
bear on the labels plain and conspic-
uous statement Of the quantity Of the
contents of the package, in terms of
weight, measure or numerical count.
Federal food inspectors are always
on the watch for interstate shipment
Of food in package form, to see that
the labels tell the truth with respect
to the quantity of food in the pack
ages. Several samples are taken from
each shipment in order that their aver
age weight may be determined. If the
packages are found to be short ih
weight or measure, the party respon-
sible for the shipment may he prose.
cuted under the criminal section OF
the law.
The act does not apply to foods
which are sold and consumed within
the state where produced or manu-
factured, but to those that are shipped
from one state to another, or to OF
from a foreign country, or manufac
tured or sold within the District OF
Columbia or a territory. Many states
have net weight or measure laws, how
ever, which protect the housewife
from short Weight or measure In pack
age foods produced and sold within the
state. Federal and state food officials
cooperate in the work of enforcing
these laws in order that abuses which
cannot be reached under one law may
be corrected under the other.

Durbin Of Indiana Hits Roosevelt

BY ARTHUR W. DUNN.

WaShington.-An idea was advanced
by n government official recently IN
regard to the coming Liberty loan
which ought to be considered carefully
by people in the rural districts, partic-
ularlv those who live On farms. Judge
Wade of Iowa was responsible for put
ting the idea INTO the heads of gov
eminent officials His argument to
the farmers IN regard TO the Liberty
loans is this: Let every farming com
munty, say an agricultural county
figure up just what its taxable valua-
tion is in the matter of wheat. oats,
cCru, barley, rye, cattle, hogs horses
sheep and poultry. Let every indivld-
ual farmer take stock of what his tax
returns are for these various articles
which are produced on the farm and
OF which the surplus is sent To mar
ket Then let him consider what was
the cash value OF his stock and prod
uce before the war and also figure
what that stock value is now. Let him
consider just what he is making out
Of the war; and then II ne doesn't have
an rdea that he'd better put some OF
In" ruii's into Liberty loans he Is
lacking in that patriotism which is
supposed TO exist throughout the og-
communities Of the United
States. II has often been claimed
that, whatever else may happen, the
honor of the United States will always
be sustained by the patriotism of the
agricultural classes. In this coming
Liberty loan campaign there Is an op-
portunity for the farmers TO show
their patriotism by subscribing to the
full extent OF their means
