Hasty Evacuation.

A tried Tommy, burdened with about
five tons of equipment, climbed wear
lily into bus outside London rail-
way terminus. There were no vacant
seats and no one offered the weary
man seat. He was dead tired and
so resolved to get seat by strategy.
He flashed from his haversack a
bomb.
''This is one of the things we use
out there, you know" he remarked to
the interested passengers. "See this
pin here? When I pull It out like this
1t should explode Is seconds later.
They're pretty deadly, too. II put it
back again the things harmless"
Then, beginning to search franticnlly,
"Gosh! Where on earth did put that
pint" W
The, passengers arose in body and
scrambled for the doora tumbling over
one another to get off. Tommy watched
them go. Then, putting the bomb back
In his haversack, he stretched himself
full length on the cushioned seat.

LAY.0FF WILL HELP MINORS
Suspension Of Schedules Is Probably
Best Thing That Could Have
Happened to Them.

The suspension of schedules by n
number of the minor leagues is prob
ably the best thing that could have
happened for them under existing con-
ditions. rFhHD
Population In the minor league
cities is comparatively small IL you
count the baseball fans alone and In
war time the, tendency to conserve
finances is greater in the small cities
and towns than In cities of the first
class. In addition to this, the base
ball population in the larger cities is
large enough to keep ball club run
ming Mt small profit.
For the lack Of this the minor league
magnate is always up against 1t when
times become panicky, ,apd without
baseball for the remainder of 1917 and
probably throughout the season OF
1913, If the war continues, the minor
league fans will have time to recover
their balance and will be baseball hun

more.

BATTERs DON'T START RIGHT
Modern Hltters Do Not Get Away
From Plate Fast Enough, Says
Billy keeler,. Old-Timer.

Billy Keeler, who surely knew some
thing about batting, says that the mod
ern hitters do not get away fast
enough from the plate. and seem tq
lose speed on the way to first.
"There were lots OF players in my
time" said Billy, "who could beat out
any grounder that took more than one
hop. Infelders, to get these fellows,
had to come In fast, pick up the ball
without one hesitating move and send
1t to first without stopping to take aim.
In those days we chopped sharply at
the ball and then went to first without
stopping to see where the ball was g0-
Ing. Now, the batsmen don't seem to
start as they hit-they hit and then
get under way. thus losing the little
fraction Of time that means every
thing when you are racing against the
infield."

YANKEES ARE FEARED

More Trouble Than Any Of

Clarence Rowland declares the New

most formidable team the American
league holds-aside from the White

Strangely. Rowland does not count
the Red Sox formidable In the least.

AFFECTS THE BRAIN.
(From bulletin issued by New York
City Health Department.

City ftealth Department.)
Civilized man equals brute animal
plus high brain development. Alcohol
blots out the high brain development"
and leaves behind the brute animal.
Now, of course, we don't mean to say
that when a person takes a drink Of
anything containing alcohol he is re-
duced at once to brute animal; but
very few will dispute that drunken
person is not much better than brute
animal. And the reason he has been
reduced to such a state by the alcohol,
is because before he can take enough
of 1t to kill his body, he haa had
enough TO paralyze his brain, espe-
cially the highest parts Of his brain.
1t has paralyzed his power to think,
1t has paralyzed his power to judge,
1t has parnlyzed his power to control
his actions. The amount Of alcohol
which r;akes a person drunken, varies
with different people. Some can stand
very little, others great deal. How
ever, even very little, though 1t does
not show itself in drunkenness, has a
damaging effect on the brain. This Is
what we want to point out particular
ly. Too many people think that IL they
drink alcohol In moderation, such, for
example. as three or four glasses Of
beer day, or one or two drinks Of
whisky dsy, they are not doing
themselves any harm at all. Very
many even think that they may safely
drink as long as they stop before get
ting drunk. These are very dangerous
and mistaken ideas to have. Drinking.
even In moderation, has dangers for
the brain and nerves, and steady drink
Ing Is very bad.

In an amazed way BARLEY Morse
leaned forward and stared. His fish
ing pole nearly slipped from his hand.
He had fancied vernal solitude all
about him, intruded upon by none but
himself, and 10 here was an intrusion

Back at the last outpost of Ken

yards. The low boughs of weeping

Her dress was coarse, a single piece
garment, her feet were bare. She had
plated a garland of bright wild flow
ers, which inclosed her neck and shoul-
ders. She had gathered handful of
pebbles and shells, and one by one she
was casting these slowly, with a
rhythmic, even motion Of her graceful
