Fridays Game.
High School versus Walkers.

Pepper, star A. & NJ. pitcher this
season and an All-Southern slab artist,
had the retailers at his mercy yester-
day afternoon and won to /.
He yielded only two safeties. This
came in the second inning when Wal
Ter doubled to center field and scored
on Divelbiss' single, Pepper pitched
a wonderful game. He showed re-
markable speed and worked like vet
eran box artist.
Lindamood was on the mound for
the Retailers and pitched a fairly
good game. In the second the Lockes
hit him hard and five runs were sent
across the plate. Some Of these were
the result of errors, however.
The game looked like a big league
affair. An immense crowd witnessed
it. The people completely surrounded
the field, and there was plenty Of en-
thusiasm and interest in the game.

Dark clouds lowered over the City
League yesterday. There was a
wrangle over the appearance Of Pep
per in the Locke line-up. The Re-
tailers issued an ultimatum, stating
that if Pepper played they would
withdraw from the league on the
grounds that Pepper had no right to
play, as he is not bona fide resident
of the city. He is employed by Mr..
Locke as shipping clerk. The Lockes
believed they had right to play him
and were determined in their posi-
tion. President Kuykendall, who is in
Birmingham, was appealed TO over
the long distance telephone. His
Royal Highness decreed that Pepper
should be allowed to play, and sug-
gested that the game be played under
protest until the matter could be
definitely decided. It's getting down
to real baseball now They're wrang-
ling.

May Consolidate
Rose-Mesqulte
School Districts

A movement to consolidate the Rose
and Mesquite Lake school districts
was launched at the Rose schoolhouse
last night by property owners in the
two sections. 1t was brought out by
various speakers that neither school is
at present large cnuogh to accommo-
date the children attending and as
the ;ttend;1 g is 'n,;o apt to increase
than decrease, the adding of more ia
cilities cannct be avoided.
"TEe logical thing to do" declared
one speaker, "is to unite our forces
and build modern school which viii
adequately take care Of the children
IN both districts. There are at present
seven teachers short in Imperial val
ley, more than 1000 in the state, and
about $4,000 in the nation"
Paul II. Northrop, prominent ranch
er, in TIE Rose district, offered 20 do
nate $1,000 to each school, if it would
enter in to the movement to unonze
and 7. d. Mccall, Mesquite Lake cot

FAR BEYOND ALLOTTED SPAN
Instances of- Remarkable Cases of Longevity Which Seem to Be
 Well Authenticated.

The death at Nenagh, County Tipper- ary, Ireland, of Mrs. Bourke, who was reported to have reached the age of 121 years, has led the London Daily Express to make a record of some of the other famous cases of longevity. In 1904 the regimental chaplain of the 18th Bengal infantry was still conduct ing services in Calcutta at the age of 1S0. In 1908 Andrei Nikolaievitch Schmidt, Russian, produced papers which showed that he was 136 years old, and had enlisted in the Reval battalion in 1796. The same year Hadji Raouf was 133, and was still earning a living as a saddler in Con- stantinople, but he was juvenile conn pared with Quo-Ka-Num, an Indian chief who roamed the shores of Puget sound at the age of 160. He was gen. orally conceded by Europeans more likely to be POO, and he claimed to re- member the time when iron was un- known to his tribe. He was 2 feet inches in height and did not weigh 50 pounds. A few years ago a Chinese woman reached Montreal. She had left her native land when 70, and had lived in Demerara for 100 years. In 1912 Europe had 1000 living centenari- ans. of whom 9,8SS were Bulgarians.

DIDN'T MEAN IT LITERALLY
English Soldiers Expressed Wish That Death Might Come Was Fol-
 lowed by Hasty Revision.

Maj. Gen. John J. O'Ryan, who has just returned from France, has brought back a number of humorous stories of the battlefield. Here is one he tells about an English sentinel: ''The Twenty-seventh division was in Flanders, where it rains almost con- tinuously," began the general. 'There were English troops billeted near by. One night, after a particularly hard rainN this English chap was on duty. When he thought no one was around he began to curse everything in gen. eral, the weather, the Germans and his own luck. oh, I say, this is blawsted weather, dontcha know. wish I was out of this beastly mud,' the English sentry muttered. A few minutes later he was cursing the rain which beat in his face. 'Gawd, but I wish was out of this beastly water he unused again. Just then the Ger mans opened a heavy fire and made things uncomfortable for everyone. Oh, Gawd, but this is beastIy,' said the sentry, raising his voice. oh, do hate those blawsted Germans. wish I were dead Simultaneously with his last words a big Minnie dropped almost at the sentry's feet. When he recovered he was lying in hole covered with mud but uninjured. The sentry sat up, rubbed the mud from his eyes, and then gazing heav- onward, said, oh, say, Gawd, cawn't you take a blawsted joker F"-New York Sun.

: New Canadian Goat of Arms.

The Canadian government is con- sidering adopting a new coat of arms for the dominion-one which shall rep resent all the provinces in the confed- eration. The present coat of arms Is representative of Ontario, Quebec. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick only, for those were the original provinces; 1; and since 1t was adopted in 1858 Prince Edward island and British Co lumbia have entered the federation. and finally Saskatchewan and Alberta have been carved out of what were the Northwest territories. When a de- sign emblematic of these nine pTov- inces has been chosen by the cDn!nit- tee and approved by the government 1t will be submitted to the royal col lege of heralds in England to be reg istered. A royal warrant declaring 1t the official arms of Canada will then be issued.

Infections of Cane suaar.

Doctor Rosenthal reports to the Presse Medicale (Paris) that he has administered intravenous injections of a strong solution of saccharose in nu- merous cases of tuberculosis. The pro- cedure exerts a manifest tonic action. It raises the blood pressure, augments the body weight, and indirectly pro- duces a favorable effect on the tuber- culous lesions. These results are ascribed by the author to an enhance ment of the functions of the liver.

The practice never became general. however. and "tankers" continued to handle the bulk of the trade. But iL June, 1917, increased submarine activ- ity and the expansion of the allied fleets made immediate additions to tank tonnage so imperative that not few, but hundreds, of British and American double bottoms" were fitted for this auxiliary cargo. Apart from It's wartime results this new practice has taught marine engineers many les sons that will guide them in designing the oil-burning ships of tomorrow.- Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Professional Enemies of Crocodile.

Professional Enemies of Crocodile.
 There are men whose business it is to catch crocodiles and who earn their living by that means. And whenever a human being has fallen a victim a professional crocodile catcher is asked to help to destroy the murderer, and large reward offered him. The ma jorfty of natives will not interfere with the reptiles, or take any part in their capture, probably fearing if they do anything of the kind they themselves may some time or other suffer for it by being attacked by a crocodile.

congestion was so great that disease
and famine took all the children five
years old and under in the first six
weeks. The famine became SO great
that they would eat the flesh off dead
animals and even the flesh off human
dead bodies. This can scarcely be
imagined but when told to us by one
whose veracity cannot be doubted we
shudder that human beings should be
forced so low. Mrs. Allen and two of
her children, aged twelve and fourteen,
