AT IT IA YEARS
"Red" AmeS Is Still a Major
League Pitcher.
He's Giving All Corners a Battle
This Season.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, May 27.-With four
teen years of major league pitching
behind him, old Leon C"Red) Ames'
who won most of his fame as
pitcher for the Giants, is still good
enough to hold a meal ticket IN the
big show.
AS a member of the st. Louis Car
dinals. where he was sent in a trade
in 1915, Ames is depended upon to 90
a share of the pitching, and, with
good support, he generally gives all
corners a battle.
Last season, when the Cards began
to look up and play some real pase
ball for Miller Hugglns, Anles WI ~ ID
in a total of forty-three games ana
won fifteen. He was credited with
ten losses.

This season the red-headed finger
showed surprisingly good early SEQ
son form, and in a game at Plus
burgh, May 2, he held the Pirates TO
two hits, both of which were regis
tered against him in the first inning
and netted Bezdek's boys the lone
run that won the game. mat was
somethinl of a heart breaker for
veteran like AmeS-to pitch Two
hit game and lose it.
one of the secrets of Ames's sue
cess as a pitcher lies in the fact that
he knows how TIC pitch. He doesn
cut loose too early in the season, and
he saves his arm whenever he can
Pitching with ones noodle as well as
with the arm is a secret that Ames
learned long ago.
Big Lacquer in 1908.
Ames broke into. the big show at
the flag end of the 1903 season, but
did not really get his first tryout I'M
til the next season, when he took part
in sixteen games. The next year he
was ready for all the work McGraw
could give him and succeeded in win
ming tive nty-two games and losing but
eight. That was his biggest winning
year, altho he always worked in many
games and for a number of years
ranked as the best pitcher in either
league to go in and finish a game that
was in danger.

TO HAVE TRADEMARK
National Trade Emblem
Proposed by Bills in Congress.

Washington, May 27.-A national
trademark for protection of Ameri-
can goods abroad and to insure a high
standard of quality will be available
for the use of manufacturers in the
United States when congress agrees
on bills now pending to authorize the
department of commerce to design
such an emblem and regulate it's use.

insidious propaganda accompanying
that notorious mark will be combatted
after the war by the American sign,
standing for an honest product an
square dealing to al.
The trademark will be pictorial or
symbolic, recognizable in all countries
regardless of the language spoken.
The printed mark Made in U. S.

been using, was found to mean moth

nese for instance, who speak only
their native tongue. American con-
sular officials frequently have urged
that Made in U. S. Al should be
written on the goods also in the Ian
guage of the country where they were
to be sold.
Another objection to the printed
mark has been that it was subject to
misinterpretation in British countries.

BACK Them up"
Roosevelt Says That Is First
Duty of Home Folk.
Ex-President Takes a Fling at
Sim Feiners, Too.

Springfield, O., May 27.-''At this
time no good Americans should sleep
easily if during the day he has not
done everything in his power to put
this country back of the armed men
who in France are fighting for our
own national honor and interest, and
for the future of the free peoples of
civilized mankind" declared Theodore
Roosevelt here. in an address or,
"Americanism" IN behalf of a local
war chest campaign.
THE peril is faced by and the hon
or is rightly due to those at the
'front.'" he said. But the rest of rs
who cannot get to the front must at
least back up our men in every pos
sible way, and the way to back them
up is every day, every week, every
month to do the thing that is next.
At this moment the thing that is next
is the Red Cross drive. Last month il
was the liberty loan, and all the time
the biggest thing that is next is to
back up the men who wear our uni
form by insisting that we at home
tolerate absolutely no division on the
great question of Americanism."
One and Only One.
1.-The first essential here in the
United States is that we shall be one
nation, and that the American nation.
We are new nation, by blood akin
to but different from every one of the
nations of Europe
THE Sim Feiners have put the
honor and interests of America second
to their hatred of England. The Ger
man-American alliance is dissolved,
but congress ought, by law, to make
the dissolution permanent and to rem
der forever impossible its revival or
the creation of any similar anti-Amer-
lean and Semi-traitorous organization.
In just the same way any Sim Feiner
who directly or indirectly seeks to dis
credit Americas allies in this war and
thereby to give aid and comfort to
Germany should be interned as enemy
alien or sent out of the country. The
same thing is true of the Russian Boil
sheviki. All these men are the allies
of Germany"

three labor representatives and three
railway executives, which will conduct

changes.
All increases now ordered will be
determined according to a percentage
scale based on pay received in Deem
Der, 1915, and any increases which
have been allowed within that time,
will be deducted. In many cases raises
in pay in the last two and a half years
are about equal to the increases now
approved, and consequently those en-
ployes will get little or no more. To
correct just such situations, when in
justices are apparent, will be one of
the principal duties of the new wage
board, whose creation was suggested
by the railroad wage commission. In
no cases are wages to be reduced.

them, that the two stripes are lucky.
And whatever we may think about
superstition, we don't want to try to
cure it in the men at the front just
now. So most of US make our socks
with two stripes in the ribbed cuff,

the stripes are there in the first place
is to make it easier to identify the

New York.-It is Francois Villon
who wore a rakish cap at the side of
his head, with a dissolute feather
sticking from the side?
Whoever did it, whether he was
troubadour or fighter, the friend OF
kings or the brawler in taverns. he
sta rted a fashion that is now and then
taken up by most respectable women.
There is such a hat in millinary to-
day. 1t cannot be worn by everyone
which is a sentence that may be ap-
piled to the majority of ultra-sm
fashions of the hour. 1t carries it's
own air of rakishness even in this
hour of mortal turmoil; but this, after
all, was but normal work in those
early days of Europe.
The though that comes to ones
mind as this hat is offered, is the quail
ity of the face that must go beneath
like the wobbly hat worn at the wrong
angle by the half intoxicated funny
woman in an English play. Therefore.

The one rakish leather is an uncurled

without any seeming foundation or

There is something forlorn about an

which included one-half of the county.
Emmett was in the smallest branch of

RAISE SUNFLOWERS!
London Plants Them and Other Things
on Otherwise Idle Land.

London, May 27.-The big war re-
vival in agriculture is producing many
interesting experiments in the grow
ing of new crops on land not in use
for growing human food. For exam
pie, big area in the country is now,
on the suggestion of the food produc-
ton department, planted with sun
flowers, the seeds of which are valu-
able both as a source of oil and for
poultry food.
Small cultivators are also urged by
the government to SOW sugar beets as
an important food for stock, especial
ly for pigs. Farmers whose cereal
crops have failed owing to attacks
from different kinds of parasites are
advised to grow linseed. The latest
reports from the country show I'M

Much must be done with an ostrich

One of the points of merit in a hat,

the inconsistent brim. 1t must be as

narrow; it dips and curves like a

Possibly, the nilliners are trying to

that the brim that goes far upward
in the back or at one side, gives the
public a glimpse of a woman's hair,
and that, in this decade, is an amaz-
ing thing. We had almost forgotten
that women had hair in the daytime;
it seemed that they merely applied it
in the evening.

THE HOUSEHOLD
About Socks.
Edited by ANNE RITTENHOUsE

AS wheat seems to be the food to-
ward the conservation of which all
our energies must be directed, so
socks are the most needed commodity
of all the knitted things we make for
the Red Cross.
Many of US are really expert sock
knitters by this time. Our grand
mothers or great-grandmothers who
ouaintIy insisted on knitting socks for
the young men of their family up to a
score of years ago, would look upon US
with astonishment if they could now
watch our nimble fingers go thru
just the same motions today. And in
learning to knit socks we have ac-
uuired all sorts of interesting informa-
ton about the very best way to knit
them.

To figure the increase he will get,
each employe should determine the
pay which his present position car
ried in December, 1915, for if he has
been promoted or denoted his new
wage is based upon the 1915 pay OF
the position which he now holds. In
creases which have accompanied pre-
motions are not increases in the sense
of the new schedule, since the wage
runs with the place, not with the
man.
