FUR WILL FLY IF MORAN

CINCINNATI. Aug. ze.-From 1891
to 1894 Charley Comiskey. president of
the Chicago White Sox. probable con-
tenders with the Reds for the worlds
championship this year was manager of
the Cincinnati team. Previous to that he
had gained fame as first baseman of
the famous St Louis Browns, four-time
pennant winners.
Comiskey's friends say that no less
than 1000 rooters will come over with
the team If they play the Reds for the
title.
No more popular man ever wore a
uniform than "Commy." and a large ma
jority of the Queen City fans are hoping
for him to drag down the American
League honors. so that he can come back
with his able lieutenant. Kid Gleason.
to the spot where he won fame many
years ago. Comiskey is delighted with
the success of his old friend. Pat Moran.

pennant.
The fur will fly If Moran and Gleason

spective teams against each other for

who piloted the White Sox to victory in
the year of 1917.
Pat Moran was a catcher under Frank
Chance when the Chicago Cubs downed
everything in the National League and
won the pennant in 1895. 1897 and 1898.
Chance predicted that Moran would
prove a wonderful manager when he
went out on his own hook, and this pre-
diction came true. Pat won the National
League pennant with Philadelphia,

talking about his wonderful success with
the Reds.

C~o-oRDINATING TRANSPORT.

Congressman John j. ESch, chairman OF the
house committee on interstate and foreign COM
Imerce, favors legislation to put motor truck
hauling under control of the interstate COM
lnerce commission. His argument is that the
motor truck is rapidly becoming a part OF the
general system Of transport; that under present
conditions the commission can act for the pub
lie interest in regulation of rates of rail trans
port and that from testimony coming from all
of the country it appears that truck
rates are universally high but not fixed at any
regular rate schedules.
There is coming a general coordination OF
all our means of transport which will become
feasible of organization when legislation to re-
turn the railroads to private ownership Is en-
acted, if it ever is. There is the problem of
Eco-ordinating our waterways into transport
means. If this be done, we shall have at last
the system which has worked so well for Ger
many. An inland shipper can ship to sea-
board by river or rail or by combination of
these routes without a break in his transport
rates; he can then make a direct arrangement
for ocean transport. This will enable our ex-
'porters to make through bills of lading to for
.eign destinations, and to use such bills as COM
mercial paper at banks. Not only would there
be great saving of money and time by a CO.
ordinated system, but there would be a great
advantage in handling credit.
Into such a co-ordinated scheme of rail and
water transport the motor truck would natur-
ally come. Increasingly it begins and ends the
haul for producer and consumer. Its develop
ment all over the nation, with the good road
building it necessitates, is one thing to be
hoped for in the immediate future. It is pos
sible to see a great and legitimate saving which
mulcts no legitimate interests in expanding
motor transport to both feed rail and water
through lines and to relieve both of them OF
short haul traffic. Whether the interstate com
merce commission would successfully handle
the coordination and consequent regulation is
a question likely to be asked. Certainly it is
for doing just this sort of regulative work that
the commission exists.

THE VICTORY NOTES.

If the government notes exempt from federal,
state and municipal income taxation do not sell
wherever they are offered it will be because
the people who might buy them have no money
or no use for "a good investment or no financial
sense. These notes are really a bargain in lots
adapted to any purse. There is nothing else
IN all respects so good. 1t is the best chance
the government has ever given to the people,
or is likely to give them. Had not previous
bond buying taken so much of the peoples
money, this note issue would have been taken
UP IN twenty-four hours. But, on the other
hand, had not the previous bond issues been
foated, this extraordinary offer of the govern
ment would not have been made. There is rea-
son to believe that people whose means are now
tied up so that they cannot take these notes will
he in the market for them as fast as they find
themselves in position to buy, and that pur-
~clasers who find it expedient hereafter to dis
pose Of their notes will find them readily sale
able at par or perhaps a fraction above. They
are thus a good investment from every point of
view.

The Voice Of a Clock.

New York Sun: Why do we always
regard a clock as saying tick, tock,"
and not tick, tick" like a watch?
Is there really any distinction be-
tween the alternate sounds, or is it
a matter of psychology? Attention
to the problem has been given by an
Investigator, whose conclusions are
most interesting.
The general opinion, according to
him, has always been that it was
merely a matter of chance whether
the tick" accompanied the left and
the "tock" the right beat of the
pendulum or vice versa. The first
important discovery this authority
made was that the tick" always
marks the moment when the pendu-
lum reaches the extreme point Of de-
.tonation from the perpendicular on
its beat to the right, while the reach
ing of its swing limit to the left is
marked by the "tock" in pendulums
of all lengths. He found that owing
to the fact hat the anchor OF the
escapement mechanism is above the
rotating escapement wheel and in
the same plane with it, the condi-
lions under which it's arms strike the
|cogs of the wheel are not the same
for both arms.

ing of magicians, or sleight-of-hand
men, confessed itself in despair over
the method of operation of the
Indian rope-climbing trick, which has
been SO often described by eastern
travellers. Thus Ibu Batuta, an
Arab from Tangier, described this
trick as performed at Hang Chau:
was entertained by the emir in
his own house in a most splendid
manner. At the banquet were pres
ent the khan's jugglers, the chief OF
whom took a wooden sphere, In
which there were holes, and in these
long straps, and threw it up into the
air till it went out of sight, while
the strap remained in his hand. He
then commanded one of his disciples
to take hold of and to ascend by this
strap. which he did until he also
went quite out of sight. He then
threw the hand Of the boy upon the
ground, then his foot. then his other
hand, then his other foot, then his
body, then his head. He then came
down, painting for breath, and his
clothes stained with blood. *** The

consequence by a palpitation at the
heart; but they gave me some drink
and | recovered. The judge of the
Mohammedans was sitting by my
side, who wore that there was
neither ascent, descent o cutting
away of limbs, but the whole was
mere juggling.
Any magician Of the present day
who can perform this trick as it is
performed even at the present day in
India, certainly must be sure OF a
fortune. The funny part Of all such
tricks is that, as in the case OF the
trick of making a tree grow from the
ground and bear fruit before the
spectators eyes, the Photographic
camera reveals nothing OF the sort
going on.

CALIFORNIA; EARLY PRoFITEERs.

Eff you will read your history of California
in the gold rush days Of 40, you will find that
enc of the outstanding and most impressive
features Of the time was high prices" This
is the opening sentence of a bulletin sent out
by one Of the organizations formed to "boost"
the sale of the present Victory notes. 1t is true
In fact and what follows later about there being
more money than commodities at hand to the
California ''Forty-niners'' is the truth as to
the cause for those high prices. Then follows
a parallel with present conditions. The war
has destroyed an immense mass Of commodities
and there is relatively more money than stuff
t. buy with it; hence high prices. Then more
parallel in prophesy; the Californians came on
to lower prices slowly but prospered greatly
during The process; hence We shall have a long
period Of high prices in which we shall prosper.
This is heartening counsel and, as far as it
goes, it is within the facts. But there is some
thing more to be said about the "Forty-niners'
before the whole truth is plain. California was
q rich field open to enterprise and honest labor:
it was filed with material wealth which conld
