FIRST MEETING
| OPEN FORUM
SUNDAY EVENING

That the Open Forum idea Is talk
ing hold in Augusta and that the
C'niversalst church will he crowded
TO it's capacity on Sunday night to
hear Prof. Thomas n. Carver speak
on Problems Of Reconstruction" IS
evident from present indications.
This appearance Of Prof. Carver
will, however. be something vastly
more important than a mere lecture
be that lecture ever SO good. When
the address is over the audience will
be at liberty to ask Prof. Carver cry
pertinent and general questions. This
question period is by far the most
vital part Of the program. The lee
ture will take up subjects Of general
interest and application. The aues-
tons can direct the discussion N ony
direction that the audiences please.
Prof. Carver is admittedly one Of the
very ablest political economists in
America-the fact that he holds the
chair Of Political Economy at .Iar-
ward guarantees that. His talks IN
problems of reconstruction-on after
the-war conditions-will in itself lie
Of vital interest and lasting value.

however. Augusta people can ask
questions OF this great eXpert-ques-
tons designed to bring out facts
bearing on the questions OF how le-
construction will affect conditions
nearer home.
Because Of the privilege OF aues-
t;onng the speaker the Open Forum
holds a place OF its own in the !.srrts
81 the American people and it will
take this hold in Augusta.
The doors Of the church will re
opened az I o'clock Sunday night

Prof J. Francis MacNichol at the CT
gan. The meeting is scheduled to

! sidering the importance Of the event

DESCRIBING BASEBALL
PROVES HARD JOB FOR
FRENCH SPORT EDITORS

The Clark C. Grifith Ball and Bat
Fund has sent more than two thou
sand baseball outfits to the American
soldiers lover There" and the boys
In khaki have introduced our ma
tional pastime in many parts of
France. Here is the attempt OF a
French sporting editor to describe a
baseball game:
1.-THE theQue is the ancient game of
ball to the field modified and regula-
ted. One can play to ten, but to
well play the theQue 1t Is necessary to
be eighteen players. The dimension
of the ground Is illimitable, all the
same she ought not to have less than
800 square meters. One traces q
polygon, OF which each side can have
from Ave to ten meters. The bases
are indicated by blocks OF wood. The
first chamber (home plate) or base is
ordinarily q square OF two meters Of
side. The post OF emplacement of the
lancer (pitcher) ought to find itself
at four meters from the first base.
The lancer ought not to eject the ball,
but lance her in such fashion that she
arrived between the shoulder and the
knee Of the beaten (batter). The
role OF heater Ia OF to beat the ball
as soon % she is served-in the direc-
ton which he desires (but all the
same before his field) and far enough
for to permit him OF to run at least
Just to the second base and thus soon
again Just TO the base Of return. The
play of the opposed field is to send
back the ball the most rapidly pos
sible to prevent the beater from to
make his run around"

quarry. AS usual, such Nevsky-Pros-
peck logic has a Joker in it.

Brings Women Drivers to

in startled surprise.

workers hurrying down town saw an
even dozen new Series 10 Studebaker
cars ready for a driveway. Drive
aways. of course, are no longer a
novelty to Detroiters. They have long
since become accustomed to seeing
string after string of bright, new cars
leaving town almost daily. But here
was a new wrinkle. For, instead of an
overaried mechanic, or a prepossess,
ing looking dealer at the wheel OF
each car, there sat smiling, we'll

Investigation disclosed the fact
that these women were starting on a
fcross-country drive that would cause
many a male veteran of the wheel
Is hesitate. They were brought to
Detroit from large city in the south
west by a prominent Studebakef dis
tributor, anxious to make good his
delivery promises to enthusiastic pur-
chasers. With the army and navy de-
pleting the ranks of available men
drivers, and work a-plenty to do at
home for the men left behind, this
live automobile merchant cast pre-
cedent to the proverbial four winds
and signed up full crew OF amb'-
tious young women to drive his cars
from the factory.
But the dealer, who was acting as
pathfinder for the caravan, could
see no particular cause for excite
rnent in this, the first big driveaW
to leave the Motor City, piloted ex-
clusively by women. He merely
called attention to the mechanical I'M

Storage Battery is Much

"Nearly every car owner knows
that T. A. Wil1ad had great deal

Elmer Rosengren, local Willard eX-

mart he took in making electric
starting and lighting practical for
automobiles.
Long before electric lighting was

with evey detail of the system. This
was in the days when all motor cars
were autos and had to be wound

best to be had, and the spark came
from a set of dry batteries,
ELECTRICITY had one big job on the
automobile that it didn't have on the
Pullman-that was starting. AS
starting. even with the most ecorom-
ical motor, took considerable current,
the battery had to be kept well
zone Of Mr.. Willard's biggest Jobs
in automobile stating and lighting
was to make q generator that would
keep the battery 'on charge, all the
time except when the engine was
going very slowly. He developed ! the :;
extra-brush system OF regulation
which regulates the charging regard

'"The most recent and perhaps the
greatest contribution Mr.. Willard
ever made to automobile electrls
lighting is the threaded rubber insu,,
