BABE ruth BROKE RECORD WHEN
E5LANNEI0IT FOR HOME RUNS
Boston Pitcher Outfieder Lifted Ball Over the Orioe
Park Fence Six Times in Two Games; Former Record
Held by Napoleon Cross, But Was Made Against
Minor League Twirlers Twenty -Four Years Ago.

DABE RUTHs six homers in two
D games in Baltimore this spring set
new baseball record and set old
timers and fans to talking, as wen as
historians TO digging in the archives
for data on consecutive four baggers.
George Herman didn't shatter the ex-
hibition game record for circuit clouts
when, on april is. he hoisted the ball
over the right field barrier at Oriole
park four times. but probably no
pastifher before him ever had done
such a thing against pitchers Of a
class A or class "A team.
Cross Held Record.
lafayette Napoleon Cross, who cap
tanned the Athletics when they won
their first two flags, smote the same
number Of homers as Babe did in an
exhibition game in the same state -
years ago- The boW-leEged infieldeF

their way north the Quakers, who
were managed by Arthur Irwin, Benny

Hagerstown TO play an exhibition
game with the HagersroWn team.

discovered that Delahanty q Co. had
punched out As drives, good for double

USE OF PENNANT ON WARSHIP
Writer Traces It's Origin to Days
When Vessels Were Generally
Commanded by Soldiers.

A contributor to Chambers Journal
is authority for the statement that the
naval pennant, or pendant, came into
use long before the days of Admiral
Blake, who commanded the English
navy in the war with the Dutch in the
seventeenth century, wesar r told, when
seamen were mere nobodies. At that
time there were no such things as reg
ular men-of-war, and ordinary mer-
chant ships were hired or comman-
deered for use as fighting vessels
whenever the necessity arose. The
requisitioned ships were commanded
by military officers, gentlemen in ar
NOR, who transferred the single-trail
pennons borne on their lances to the
mastheads of their ships.
In larger vessels or sqUadrons the
commanders might be knights or
knights banneret, who flew their swal-
lowtailed and square banners when
they risked themselves afioat. Going
to sea in those days was something Of
an adventure, especially If a man fell
overheard in armor; but these en-
blems of command have been handed
down to posterity in the commodores'
broad pendants and the admirals' rec
tangular flags of the present day.

WHERE NO MONEY IS USED
People of Ascension Island Would
Seem to Live in State of Ideal
Communism.

The island Of Ascension, in the At
lantic, belonging to Great Britain,
is OF volcanic formation, eight miles
by six in size, and has a population
of about $50. It was uninhabited
until the confinement of Napoleon
at st. Helena, when it vas occupied
by a small British force. 1t is 280
miles northwest of st. Helena. Vast
numbers of turtles are found o it's
shores, and it serves as a depot and
a watering place for ships.
Ascension is governed by a cap
tain appointed by the British adj
miralty. There is no private prop
erty in land, no rents, no taxes, and
no use for money. The focks and
herds are public property, and the
meat is issued as rations. So Are
the vegetables grown ON the farms.
When an island fisherman makes a
catch he brings it to the guardroom,
where it is issued by the sergeant
major. Practically the entire popu-
lation are sailors, and they work at
most of the common trades. The
muleteer is a jack tar; so is the
gardener; so are the shepherds, the
stockmen, the grooms, masons, car
penters and plumbers. Even the
island trapper who gets rewards for
the tails of rats is a sailor.
The climate is almost perfect, and
anything can be grown.

STORM AT SEA WITH
LIONS and TIGERS
PERIL FACED BY MRS. HAYES
THRILLS MIXED WITH A TRIP
TO SOUTH AMERICA.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Shipwreck,
storm and peril from lions and tigers
driven insane with fear were among
the adventures recounted by Mrs.
Maud A. Hayes, wife of Scott Hayes,
son of former President Rutherford
B. Hayes, who arrived here yester-
day with her husband from a trip to
South America.
Mrs. Hayes sailed from New York
May 2, on the Chilean mail steamer
Limari On June 8 in calm sea the
Limari went aground off Santa Rosa
on the north shore of Peru. Passen-
gers and crew took to the boats and
a few hours later encountered a vlo-
lent storm, which Mrs. Hayes SAID
dashed the waves to height OF thlr-
ty feet and tossed the life boats about
like cockshells. The refugees were
finally rescued by the Peruvian ship,
Mantaro, but only to be confronted
with a new peril The Mantaro car
ried a travelling managerie, and the
lions, tigers and monkeys were driv-
en- frantic by the storm. The larger
animals made desperate efforts to
break from their cages and their
bowls added to the terrors of the
storm while the monkeys actually
did escape, and fled chattering wild
ly to all parts of the ship.
Mrs. Hayes arrived here on the
Santa Luisa from Valparaiso. Cap
tain w. T. Crossley, commander of
the ship, said that 800 persons lost
their lives in the storm which ravag-
ed the port of Valparaiso July Is.
The Santa Luisa was taken one hun
dred miles out to sea to weather the
storm which sent to the bottom ten
ships, including, some interned Ger
man liners which had remained IN
port.

more good than any medicine have

UNCLE SANS PENNY
OUTPUT FAR BEHIND
Mint Unable to Fill Demand for Cop
pers. Making Three Million
Every Day.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa,-Every dog
has its day, but this is the day of
the penny. The insignificant copper
cent has taken the place of the al
mighty dollar in fiscal importanc to
the American public.
War taxation has created a de-
mand for pennies that is unprece-
denied in the history of domestic cur
rency. To meet this enormously in
creased demand the United States
mint at Seventeenth and Spring Gar
den streets is producing from 2,200,-
600 to 100000 1-cent pieces daily.
The necessity for coming more
pennies manifested itself as a result
of the standard of uneven prices that,
because of war taxes, has been estab-
lished in the business, transportation
and almost every commercial phase
of community Efe.
The increased demand for pennies
is especially noticed in cities because
of the volume of exchange of small
currency in the usual daily eXpendi-
lures of the urbanite. Although ma
chimes in the mint in this city are
stamping out coppers day and night
the limit is still 100000 pennies
behind orders.

POVERTY GRIPS U. S.
GIRLS WITH TITLES
AMERICAN HEIRESSES IN ACT
UAL WANT IN CONQUERED
LANDS. WANT TO RETURN.

With nothing approximating the
pomp and circumstance attending
their departure from America the
majority of those stately heiresses
who married German, Austrian and
Hungarian noblemen soon may re-
turn willing to divest themselves of
titles and do whatever else may be
required of them that they may re-
plenish their empty purses, says a
special Berlin cable to the New York
Sun.
Some Of the richest of the Ameri-
can women who married into the IT,
ties of the now impoverished Central
powers are almost if not absolutely
in want. They are bewailing the
"heartlessness" of their mother
country and grasping at every rumor
and suggestion having to do with the
possibility of their getting enough
money from their American estates
to tide them over financial distress
that is so strange to them that they
are utterly bewildered.
The word has gone about that they
may be permitted to repatriate them
selves, fetching with them to Ameri-
ca their now truly impecunious
princes and counts, and that their til
tied husbands may be permitted to
discard their titles and by naturaliza-
ton processes become plain ''mis-
ters," thereby regaining for their
distressed wives the wealth that is
now held by the alien property GUS
todian, Francis P. Garvan.
Nora Iselin in Trade.
AS an example, the Countess Las
zle Szechenyi, formerly Gladys Van
derbilt, and the Countess Anton ST.
gray, who was Harriet Daily, of
Butte, sister-in-law to former Am
bassador Gerard, fled before the boil
shevist troops in Budapest and are
living very modestly indeed in Swift
zerland. it is known that they have
little or nothing. The Countess Col
loredo- Mansfield, who was the beau
tiful Nora Iselin, of New York, is said
to have gone into trade and hopes to
become a merchant princess. Bust
ness conditions do not augur well for
her immediate success.
The princess Braganza, who was
Anita Stewart, of New York, is in
Switzerland praying for speedy re-
lief. Others of the well-known Amer
lean princesses, countesses and duch-
esses who are living in small colonies
on borrowed money or on scale
small when compared
with their former grandeur are the

Walker, of Detroit, and the beautiful
Nancy Leichman, of Pittsburg, who
married Duke Karl, of CrOy.

Wife and SON
OF AN ATHENS
DETECTIVE CURED
LITTLE BOY HAD SPASMS AND
S. KIDNEY TROUBLE. WIFE'S
NERVES ALL TO PIECES. DIRE
CO GAVE RELIEF TO BOTH.

Detective H. H. Seagraves, of 245
Wynburn Place, Athens, Ga, brave
and daring officer, says:
81 gave Dreco to my little son,
Garland, who was suffering from
spasms from intestinal and stomach
trouble and it has cured him. He has
not had spasm since taking Dreco.
He has gained in flesh; digests his
food; is entirely relieved Of pains in
the stomach and bowels and sleeps
fine. His kidneys no longer bother
him at night, and every one in Ath-
ems remarks what fine, healthy look
ing son now have, thanks to Dreco.
"My wife says this great Dreco
has done her worlds of good also.
Has built her up and given her Won
derful strength; she is gaining IN
weight and her nerves are hundred
per cent. stronger. | expect to con-
tinue the use of Dreco until my FAM
lily no longer need it. 1t is way ahead
of any medicine l ever used in my
family"
Dreco has proved great remedy
for children who have weak kidneys
and are troubled by bed wetting. 1t
strengthens their little organs and
builds up their general health. Dreco
is fine for children, old, weak persons
and any one in need of reliable
tonic. 1t is purely vegetable and con-
tains no harmful drugs.
All progressive druggists through
out the country now sell Dreco, and
it is highly recommended in Dawson
by Lees Drug Store,
