EXTRA TEAM WINS
FIRST GAME PLAYED.

At the Extra ball park, Sunday,
the Double Stars took the count
from the Extra boys with the score
of 9 to 13.
The rain a few hours before the
game left the diamond in poor
shape for good playing, at least,
that is what each error was attribu-
ted to.
This was the first game for Extra
this year but it is hoped we will be
able to keep team together all
season. A return game will be
played at the Double Stars home
field in the near future.
Following is the lineup:
Double Stars Extra
C. Tibben j. Parrott
H. Schwarting p G. O'Donnell
H. D. Schwarting lb F. Basham
Sam Schwarting 2b Geo. Corl
G. Prohaska 3b F. Eaton
B. Schwarting IS j. Rendleman
D. Schwarting IF F. Campbell

We mi3ht also add as an after
thought that anyone, who missed
the game Sunday missed seeing
some of Extras star players in ac-
tion as they will not appear again
this season. OF course, Witch Ha-
eel, Arnica and rest may put some
of them in better mood.

LOW-BROW CITY, SAYS BARNES
Lecturer Asserts Composite Intel
lect That Of l0-Year-Old Child

Professor Earl Barnes, who has been
gathering In shekels here for Years
through lectures under the direction of
the University Extension Society, now
comes along with the statement that
the composite intellect of Philadelphia
is approximately that Of a ten-year-
old child normally developed. This fact
was mentioned by Professor Barnes in
a lecture at the Girls Normal school
Thirteenth and Spring Garden streets
on Helpful Aspects of the Kinderear-
ten."
Professor Barnes drew his deductions
from the results obtained by psychol-
ogists in determining, the brain power
Of nearly 100000 draftees. The in
tellectual age of those who served their
country has been found to be a trife
over thirteen years "The intellect on
Philadelphia must, therefore, be under
thirteen years. reasoned Professor
Barnes, because those vigorous men OF
between eighteen and thirty-fve must
have stood higher intellectually than the
people OF Philadelphia.
I'm this way we derive the psycho-
logical reason for the slownees with
which reforms are accomplished in
Philadelphia" he said. THE composite
brain is too feeble to gr3Sp vital facts
and aggressively accomplish communal
hpttermentS."

DEMANDS CAMDEN
HEROES RETURN
Mayor Ellis Angered at
Treatment of New Jer-
sey Soldiers
CALLS 1T "SHAMEFUL"
Promises Appeal to Governor
for Action by War
Department

Characterizing the treatment accorded
New Jersey soldiers as shameful and
outrageous" Mayor Ellis. Camden. to-
day asserted that he would take steps
to force the war Department TO recall
the New Jersey men from France.
our boys in the Twenty-ninth Ma
tional Guard Division and Seventy
eighth National Army Division said
the Mayor, ARE languishing In n rest
camp. They are not a part of the army
Of occupation. and now that the fight
ing is over they are eager to come
home.
although southern and western men
are either on the way across the ocean
or listed for an early return. nothing
has been done for the New Jersey boys.
They don't know when they are to come
home and nobody in Washington seems
interested
81 shall take up the matter with Gov
ernor Edge and urge him TO get busy
with tine War Department. Our boys
made great sacrifices in France and
measured up TO the gigantic tasks as
signed them. If their gallant work is
completed we want them home"
Mayor Ellis said that New Jersey
furnished n greater number of troops
in proportion to its population than any
state in the Union and that it had suf-
fered the greatest number of major
casualties.
The Twenty-nnth Division" added
the Mayor" lost more than 400 in killed
Camden County furnished the bulk OF
those men, for our old Third Regiment
was virtually wiped cut in the Sedan
sector.
IT don't like TO protest. but feel that
it is my duty to bring this matter to
the attention of our people. Camden
has expended $4,000 on victory arches
in honor of its heroic men and is wait
ing anxiously to receive them. We want
to give them reception that is fitting
but must have some definite word con.
corning the date of their arrival
up to date we have kept silent and
waited for the War Department to dc
something"

minds Off the more burdensome things
of their army and field life. When the
men are singing or listening to. music
they forget may of the things which
otherwise might bother or discourage
them. The things which ordinarily would
worry them fade away into subconscious-
ness in the face of the new interest and
different thoughts which the music
arouses.
Music in Battle
Music in battle had its origin very
far back, I think among the Saracens.
Music was a powerful force among the
Crusaders and the herald of the old days
was held almost inviolate by the oppos-
ing forces. They were seldom killed.
In this war a large number of musicians
and bugler boys were killed
And how the boys who play in the
bands or otherwise arouse their listen

ssMusIc eSerts tremendous inf'u-
AV1 ence upon the morale of the men

Sousa today. at the RitzCarlton Hotel,
commenting upon the value of musical
activities among the men in the service.
Mr.. sousa has Just been mustered out
Of the service, where he held the rank of
lieutenant, as leader of the famous Great

Music has two effects upon people"
continued Mr.. Sousa. ut has a physical
and mental effect. 1t Ia the only SEN
sual thing I know of. the overindul-
gence In which brings no bad results. 1t
is different In this respect from all other
things which appeal TO the physical
senses. No matter how much you in
dulge in music you are better person
for having done so.
Music is a soothing and comforting
thing to the boys in the service. II
brings thoughts of home TO them, and
OF sentiment and makes them forget
many OF the things which would other
wise annoy and disturb them. Songs OF
sentiment and fun are just as influential
as war songs.
Mental Eject Of Music
Then there is the mental effect OF
music on the individual. There Is the
boy who will listen TO It from a kind
OF critical viewpoint He may have a
little knowledge or appreciation of mu-
sical technique. Another boy will appre-

become disgusted with the whole thing

think she's good looking at all
1T is often the same way with music,
But the value of music in the army or
navy simply cannot be overestimated.
