ports new war device, the invention
Df an English engineer, STAFFORD Tai
Dot. Literally. it is torpedo on wheels
which may be propelled toward the en-
emy trenches and controlled from the
starting point by means of attached
wires.
The explosive is mounted on a metal
lie box which rides onsfour wheels.
Attached to the box is a contrivance
consisting Of a dynamo which propels
the wheels. The entire machine is
electrically controlled, permitting the
explosion of the charge at the desired
moment.
Two parallel wires connect the tor
pedo with the control station. These
are carried on spools and unwind as
The machine advances. The power is
derived from accommodating batteries
at the starting point. When it is de-

That Compromises are seldom just
is made manifest in the consideration
of the sabotage bill before congress.
The purpose Of the bill is to prevent
any interference with the work of
supplying our soldier boys with proper
equipment. The bill provided severe
penalties for interfering with the
productionsof war material, or for de-
stroying such material. The union
labor leaders objected to these clauses
as they urged that they might prohib-
it strikes. A compromise was there
fore made striking. out the penalty
for obstructlng reproduction, but re-
tanning penalties for destroying ma
terial after it is manufactured. This
distinction 10 ridiculous on its face.
What does it matter to the boy on
the front whether the gun that he
needs to protect his life was destroy
ed by German spy, or was never
made because the workmen were on
a strike for shorter hours? Mr.. Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, Landed the patriot
ism Of the union laborers but declared
that law prohibiting them from
striking would make them law break
ers. Frank Morrison, secretary Of
the Federation, declared THAT in q
democracy conscrip tiol should be used
only for military purposes. These
expressions by the headi Of the labor
federation are not very compliments
~ TO the patriotic spirit Of the men.
For the government to conscript men
for military service without first max
ing ample provision for equaipping
them would be 9 crime, as it would
not only make them Intellectual but
might endanger their lives. The
equipping depends very largely upon
the laboring men here at home. The
right to conscript for military service
must in all reason imply q right to
conscript if necessary all labor requir-
ed to safeguard the men called. To
permit laboring men, who by the for
tune Of age are exempt from military
duty. to speculate, and hold up the
government with the lives of our SOL
der boys A.. the stakes in the game.
would place these strikers in the po-
sitionsof enemies Of their country.
The conscription law should apply to
laborers at home as well as fighters
at the front.

 Three times McGraw was compelled to wreck his teams and build anew. Each time he accomplished the task in record time. When his 19041905- 1906-1907 machine wore out, McGraW builded a new one that dashed it's way to the top in 1911. That endured for four seasons and then it, too, cracked" Once more McGraw was forced to rebuild and once more he &C., complished his task, bringing forth a ball club that established a worlds record for consecutive victories in 1916 and won a pennant in 1917. Not only has McGraw been able to develop great ball teams but 1t is McGraw who has taught more men the art of successfully handling ball club than any other leader that the game has known. Christy Mathewson and Wilbert Robinson were his pu- pills. Charlie Herzog, who led the Reds; Roger Bresnahan, who piloted the Cubs and Cardinals, and Bill Deh- len, once of the Dodgers, were others who led big league outfits. George McGinnity, George Wi1tse, "Sandow'' Mertz, George Van HaItren, George Da- wis and hosts of others, schooled by McGraw, ultimately found their way into minor league managerial berths. The greatest manager of all time that's John McGraw!

5:90 D. m. and midnight It is almost impossible to get into the rooms during those hours, let alone getting near enough to the tables to see what they are or the style of game being played.
 Some two or three house detectives are employed to maintain good order, but they have little or nothing to do, for during the busy time of the day there is not spare room enough on the premises in which to start a row Playing priv ileges are at a premium and the man who wastes time in loud talk, or in dis putes, finds himself crowded out.
 MT. Jones is probably the most success full billiard ma- on the American conti- nent from a strictly moneymaking stand point. He possesses the happy faculty of setting his sails in a business way to fit the prevailing wind When times were prosperous and real estate was boom ing in the pre-war days, close observers may have noticed that MT. Jones had out strong bid for the patronage of the select few who wanted a strictly high grade establishment and were willing to pay for it. He did flourishing business and his place was just as prosperous as it is now. When the change came and took a slump, first on account of the bursting of the real estate bubbles, and secondly on account of the war, MT. Jones was equal to the occasion. He sim ply changed his method of procedure. At present his place is filled from the fisst floor to the top with the better grade

 No fake excuses or misrepresentations of employment will be accepted and every nonproducer is warned that the strictest punishment will be inflicted upon him. The authorities have no de- sire to interfere with billiards where played by gentlemen outside of work hours, but gamblers, idlers and the like will be severely dealt with.
 In going after slackers the authorities will ask the aid of pool room proprietors who are more or less familiar with their trade. It is believed by some owners that by cleaning out the "riff-raff," billiard parlors can be made more pop ular, as was the case in Vancouver, Canada.
 A stranger in Vancouver will, upon en- tering the billiard room of MT. Con Jones, find a condition which is quite likely to be a revelation to him.
 Vancouver can boast of having one of the largest and most unique billiard comprises three floors. equipped with a total of about 50 ables. There are only two sizes used, the large size English table, 6x12 feet, and the small size Amer ican table, 4x8 feet They run about 50-50 between the two sizes.
