Baseball In France.

According to the reports of Ameri-
can correspondents in France, the
French people regard baseball of
which they have seen expert exhibi.
tionS by American soldiers, as a game
of much interest, but of the utmost
roughness and brutality. Some of the
poilus have valiantly attempted to
play it, but have shown little apti-
tude for it. Handling a ball, throw
ing it and catching it are accomplish
ments of the Anglo-Saxon rather
than of the Latin. The American
soldier says that the Frenchman
throws like a girl''-with an inef-
fective stiff-arm movement. And
when the ball is thrown to him and
he tries to catch it, he receives it
usually on the ends of his fingers.
So many injuries have resulted
among the poilus who have under
taken to play baseball that they view
the game as a kind Of battle. The
raucous and incessant coaching from
the side lines, the vigorous prancing
and reckless slides of the base run
ners and the deliberation and feroc-
ity with which pitcher and batter eye
each other seem to amaze the French
and to inspire In them a certain awe.
But for the small French boys the
game has apparently the same fasci
nation that it has for American boys.
Whenever Americans appear with bat
and ball, even if it is only to knock
up flies, French youngsters congre-
gate to look on and eagerly chase
the balls that go astray. The French
boys have already acquired the Amer
lean knack of throwing and catching.
The enthusiasm that they show for
the game indicates that baseball may
yet become a popular sport in France
even though it may be full gener-
alton before the French people take
it to their hearts.

Cracked Heads"

Matters have been drifting towards
race riot in the National Capital
for a long time. The proximity to
Virginia, where the old Jim Crow"
laws are still in force, may have had
something to do with it; for the diff
ference in the freedom of movements
Of the oolored people on the Washing
ton side of the Potomac is always the
souce OF comment. The colored peo-
pie are "ruf1ed" by the restrictions
placed upon them in Virginia; and a
portion OF the Capitol residents-par-
ticularly the whites from the South,
find no end of fault because the "col-
OF line" is not drawn on the street
cars and in many public places where
the negroes mingle with the whites.
During the war the negroes ac-
quired a good deal Of prosperity, and
some Of them bought automobiles and
made a considerable show of their
new riches. At about the same time
'bootlegging" became a big industry
among the colored people, and great
quantities Of bad liquor were stored
among them. 1t needed only a half
dozen assaults upon white women,
and the failure of the police to locate

ly before it was expected he would
announce the official list of census
supervisors for the taking of the
1920 census, it is learned unofficially
that the Kentucky supervisors have
practically been selected. The official
announcement is expected upon the
Secretary's return to Washington
but in the meantime the unofficial
list, which probably will be found
correct, is as follows:
ably either Luke A. L. Langston, of
Murray, or Buddy L. H. Penrod,

AMERICAN FOOD CLUBS HELP
JUGOSLAV CHILDREN.

Organization of Food Clubs" by
American relief workers among the
children of Jugo-Slovakia is rapidly
solving the problem of getting the
children back to their schools which,
in many districts, have been closed
since the beginning Of the world-war.
Last April, a representative Of the
American Relief Administration saw
the need for supplying the children
of these districts with a supplement
tary ration. The children of families
fortunate enough to have a scant
food supply were underfed, and the
large majority were facing actual
starvation. No reorganization of
the educational machinery of the
country was possible until the food
difficulty was relieved. Hungry chill
dren cannot assimilate knowledge,
and the more immediate task Of the
boys and girls everywhere was to
lend what assistance they could to
their parents in keeping the family
larder supplied.
With an initial appropriation Of
$4,000, the American Red Cross
Joined with the American Relief Ad-
ministration to bring about an i'm
provement of this situation. The re-
suit has been that to-day, in the
sixty-six towns in Jugo-Slovakia hav-
ing a population of over 100000
persons, school has resumed, in
some places on a seven-day basis
and the children are relatively hap
py-they are studying and learning.
This was accomplished through
supplying the children, in the schools
with hot, substantial meals each day.
This consisted at first of milk, cocoa
and sugar which when combined in
proper portions and cooked, made
very nourishing drink. This ration
was supplemented later, when addi-
tional supplies became available, by
bread and rolls.
These activities have won the
grateful commentator of the local
and governmental authorities. Presi-
dent Shola, of the new government
in Bosnia and Herzegovina, has con-
veyed an official expression of his ap-
probation to the relief work

character will be asked to cooperate
in solving problems that have come
with the new order, and the next
Legislature will be asked to enact
legislation providing for accommoda-
lions at asylums for the treatment OF
drug users.

No Trouble Since.
ROAMER BREAKS DOWN AT SAR
ATOGA TRACK.

Andrew Miller's great race horse
Roamer, winner of many stake
events, an idol of the turf, broke
down at Saratoga and may never race
again. Roamer bowed tendon
while working out at Spa. A sad
feature of the mishap is the fact that
Roamer lacked only a few hudred
dollars of being in the exclusive cir
Gle of 100000 winners, and was ex-
pected to reach that goal at Sara
toga.
Roamer is a Kentucky-bred son of
knight Errant and Rose Tree H., and
has been consistent winner
throughout his racing career.
During the meeting at Saratoga
last year Roamer set a worlds rec
ord for mile at 1880 AS, lowering
the mark of Salvador, made over a
straight course, which had stood for
years.

The result was that a crowd Of SOL
diers, sailors and marines-most of
whom were discharged from service,
spent a pleasant evening smashing
niggers." Hundreds of young boys,
some not more than seventeen years
of age, were among the white rioters
who were locked up. At first these
youngsters seemed to think that the
serious business in which they were
engaged was as much fun as "chas-
ing the cows" The colored people
were evidently well prepared for the
fray, and cracked heads" multiplied
in numbers on white and blach
shoulders, and in the splitting of blood
from the assaults of combatants.
AS some of the fighting occurred
within a block of the White House
grounds, it is evident that a good
many people in the Capital do not be-
lieve that the treaty of peace was
made to affect fighting between the
whites and blacks.
These race riots were very foolish
performances, but they likewise
turned out to be very serious. They
have stirred up a bitterness between
the whites and blacks which will
have lasting and unpleasant conse-
quences.

Better Tires = Better Stock"
This is the slogan of a national bet
ter livestock crusade, to get actively
in motion October 1, that is announc-
ed by the United States Department
if Agriculture, working in co-opera-
ton with the State Agricultural Col
leges and other agencies interested
in livestock improvement. The
campaign looks forward to the fu-
ture food needs of this country's in
creasing population and results from
long and cereful observation of the
livestock industry in this country,
and was planned after extensive con-
sultation with specialists and breed
ers. The plan is to hasten the re-
placement of the multitude of scrub
States with pure-bred or high-grade
stock, and also to improve the quail
ity of pure breeds themselves. The
goal in view is greater efficiency in
production.
The campaign will be the first or
gained crusade In large country
to improve all live stock simultaneous
1t will interfere in no way with any
work in live stock improvement now
being conducted, but makes all the
work more definite and effective by
providing official recognition for pro-
pressive breeders.
The campaign will be supervised
from the Department of Agriculture
in Washington, and in each State by
the State agricultural college.
County agents and other field work
ers of the Department of Agriculture
and of the State colleges will handle
the campaign locally. Every live
stock owner actively cooperating
and keeping and using none but
pure-bred sires of good quality will
be given an emblem as an official
recognition of meritorious effort.
