To Ban Freak Deliveries
Is National League Plan

New York, Feb. 22.-John X. Ten
er, president of the National Lea
que, made it plain yesterday that
antispitball legislation is more than
likely to result from this years rules
committee of organized baseball the
ban on the freak deliveries being
planned to take effect in 1919 to give
pitchers a chance to learn new de-
liveries.
The Governor also spoke in a
warning tone to the "holdouts" who
are now refusing to sign contracts
with National League clubs. He said
he did not believe there was any or
ganized scheme of the players to
ballI at the figures quoted them for
this year, or that the defunct base
ball players fraternity could be
blamed.
Asked whether, in his opinion. the
New York Giants were violating the
S0-day training rule in sending pitch
ers and catchers to Hot Springs,
Ark, two weeks before the season
opened to boil out" the Governor
took the position of the New York
club-that the trip is for medical
purposes, and cannot properly be
classified as a period of baseball
training.

Four Year-Old Boy
Defes Air Raiders

London.-The barharism of the
ny, in its continued air raids on
innocent Victims was offset here re-
Gently by a four-year-old boy who
refused to be frightened by the muir
sderous attack.
The boy and his grandmother were
sheltering in a passage when bomb
demolished the upper portion of the
house. Debris rained down on them
and they were almost buried. AS
they were being rescued the boy
looked up at his grandmother and
said:
II was brave, wasn't !, granny?
They can't make me cry"
The baby daughter of a police

BIG JUMpIN RADIUM PRICE
Metal Now Selling For S2,S0O, 900
an Ounce

The effect of war on prices has
been more strikingly exemplified in
the metal industries than anywhere
else, particularly among metals
which have practical use in war
although this includes nearly all of
them. An article in the Railroad
Red Book, says the war pressure has
been felt as keenly in the market
for the rarest and costliest metal as
in the commoner metals. Conse-
quently the price of radium, which
before the war was somewhere
around S1,000,0O0 an ounce. is now
approximately S2,S0O,000 an ounce.
Practically all the worlds COM
mercial supply of radium comes
from the carnotite beds OF Colorado
and Utah, which also yield the rare
metals uranium and vanadium.
Even these deposits, however, are
limited in extent and are difficult to
work, and some of them are being
worked out so that the output of
radium is likely to decrease rather
than increase. Last year from 1900
to 1900 tons of carnotite ore was
mined in Colorado, and this was con-
siderably less than the quantity the
previous year. The amount of ra-
dium extra cted from a single ton of
ore is infiinitesimal.

YAN[KS BUSY
BUYING BABIES
Y. M. G. A. Worker Suggest.
ed Adopting French
Babies.

Paris, Nov. 30.-(Correspondence
Of The Associated Press).-"selling
babies to soldiers" is Murray G.
Sawyer's characterization Of his ac-
tivities as a Red Triangle man with
the American Expeditionary force.
Mr.. Sawyer from Minneapolis,
MINI.
Horrible, isn't it, but true" he
said to a friend who met him in a
French village and asked what he is
doing. my particular outfit of men
have sold ten babies in the last ten
days and we expect to sell a hundred
more within the next two months.
Why, it's the greatest business in
France today-this selling Of babies
to soldiers.
1--WE have been working with a.
bunch Of men up pretty close to the
front lately, and when pay day comes
around there's nothing much to do
with their money. So W. Y. M. G. A.
men began to figure out, something to
offset that.
There are 50 men in q platoon,
and we suggested that a platoon
should adopt a baby on pay day. 1t
costs 500 francs to take care Of a
baby for, year, and that meant
sAA~S "AA DUS AlAAO AV AA p4nSoSAA
should pay S francs each on the first
installment. and five francs each on
the following pay day, making a
payment each time of $50 francs or
the 500 in all. Each platoon elects
a leader who acts as a go-between,
for the babies r bought through the
baby department of the Stars and
Stripes. On the payment of the Sec
ond and final installment. the leader
gets seven pictures of the child in
various poses.
ut will be possible for one platoon
to take up six babies a year, for il
would mean about a dollar from each
man on every a day, which comes
around about twice in two months
"One man said to me the ether
day, Gee, Sawyer, this baby business
is great. Who wouldn't rather have
a baby than a jag'?. ~.
And that's the way we Y. M. c. A
men have figured it out. We have
sold ten babies in ten days, and we
are going to place hundred righ1
in. our division before next pay day
rolls around"

American chamber of commerce In

accomplish this by reimbursing indi-
viduals for their shattered homes,

value before their destruction, Mr..
Shoninger recently told the executive

Ultimately, he said, Germany will

the interiors will be constructed in

Referring to- the fact that the
4 French government has made ar
rangements to purchase materials for
reconstruction by pooling or combin-

American manufacturers would be
asked to supply some materials and
that they promote the formation OF
