Tough on Tigers

TF THE Detroit Tigers had had any
L thing to do with it the AS would
have stopped losing yesterday, for all
the Yankee victory did was to beat the
Bengsls out of slice of worlds series

the landlord and the rain of unpaid bills
that's very, very serious matter. But
the Yanks held on tosthird place by
their Az victory and they deserved a
share of the spoils. They had to fight
at their best to beat young Dave Keefe,

with the club in the early part of the
season and then departed for places un-
known.

Keefe Looked Good

DAvE KEEFE hurled his first game
- of the year FOR the Macks and did
much better than some of the twirlers
who stayed with the club during the
entire campaign. Up to the eighth
frame he allowed only FIVE hits. Then
in the eighth a scratch hit and a regu-
lar single caused his defeat and sent
the winning run over the disc. In the
ninth a triple of George Mogridge's
bat and a sacrifice fly produced the
fourth Yank run. The AS could do
nothing with Mogridge's portside slants
after the fourth. They were held hit
less in the last four frames, going out
in one two three order.

Pacific Blockade,

Pacific blockade" Is a term invent,
ed by Hautefeuille, the French writer
on international maritime law, to de-
scribe blockade exercised by a great
power for the purpose of bringing
pressure to bear on a weaker state
without actual war. The pacific block
ade has apparently established itself
as legitimate means Of coercing a
weak power to observe its interna-
tional obligations without resorting 10
war for that purpose. 1t is modern
development and has usually been the
act Of several powers acting in concert.
1t was first employed in 1927, when
the combined fleets Of Great Britain.
France and Russia blockaded a por
tion Of the Turkish coast. More re-
cent instances of It's exercise were the
blockade of Crete by the powers in
1897, the blockade Of Venezuelan ports
by Great Britain, Germany and Italy
in 1902 and of Turkish ports by the
powers in 1905.

VARIOUS KINDS OF CHARITY
And Greater Far Than the Giving Of
Aims Is the Practice of Charity
Of Thought.

Someone has said that Charity is
the highest tree In heaven" It Is
a saying that we can well believe,
for not only does charity cover null
titude Of sins but 1t also covers its
devotees with its solace and comfort.
1t is to be feared, however, that
there is a misconception as to the full
meaning covered by the word char
ity. Many people seem to understand
that charity consists solely in the CIV
ing Of aims. And the fact is that aims
giving is merely one form of charity.
There is charity that we can prac-
tice toward those of our fellow men
who stand in no need Of aims. There
are, indeed, many who are well pro-
vided with the goods of this world
who stand in great need of charity.
The charity of our thoughts Is what
we stand In need of.-Los An

stoppinn a Great Waste.

Millions of dollars worth Of fruit
have been wasted in Florida during
the quarter of a century. Hereafter
nothing will be wasted as the drops.
culls and ripes will all be utilized by
new processes evolved by clever
chemist and scientist. The growers
and the public generally will be helped
by these processes, as the former will
reap a benefit from the sale of their
waste products and the latter will
have the benefits of the manufactured
products which are greatly in demand.

Opposes Child Labor And Ad-
vOCateS All Legislation Ne
Cessary To Curb The Evil
MANY IMPORTANT PROBLEMS TREATED

WASHINGTON. May 20. This
morning President Wilson's mes
sage to Congress, which had been
cabled from Paris, was read in
both House and Senate. The
document deals with many of
the problems of the day, and
makes many points, recomenda-
tions, among which are a revision
of the war taxes, and a general
broad policy with the regard to
light wines and beer only. The
message announces that public
utilities how operated by the
goverpmeht will be returned to
private ownership in the near
future.
With regard to the peace trenty
and league of nations, the mes:
sage made but passing allusion
to present that to Congress at a
later time--when the President
shaall have returned to Washing
ton, in close toch with the Con-
gress.
Upon the labor problem the
message is particularly open and
pronounced, taking high and ad-
vanced ground, asserting that
there must be a new system, and
condemning child labor in no un-
measured terms. Strong ground
is taken also in favor of provid-
ing employment for returning
s )ldiers.
Upon the question of equal
suffrage the message takes ad-
vadced ground, and, and urges
that Congress pass it up to the
states by adoption of the Pre- 4
posed constitutional amendment
comforting the ballot upon wo-
men.
In dealing with problems of
taxation the message suggests S
r peal of the tax upon luxuries ;;
and it advocates protection of
the young and growing dyestuff
industry against the great mo.
nopolistic organization Germany
had created before the war.

A new ENTERPRISE

Pursuant to their undertaking
that was announced some time
ago as a matter of news, the
Buxton Smith Company have
opened in Nogales jobbing
house dealing in fruits, veget-
.ables and produce of all kinds.
Their office and warehouse is at
the corner of Morley Avenue and
Court street; and they have
ample storage facilities else
where.
Located at the international
line, within easy reach of the
extensive variety and wide range
of products, both tropic and
semi-tropic, of the West Coast
of Mexico. the house can meet
the requirements OF the trade in
all parts of the country; and can
meet demand of whatever mag
nitude.
Branch houses in Douglas,
Bisbee, Tucson and other points
give the house access to wide
connection and abundant oppor-
tunity. The house is destined to
cut a large figure in the business
world; and it will prove a great,
asset of Nogales.

Protecting Alrplane PropeIler..

An aluminium plating for airplnne
propellers has been devised for the
purpose of protecting the wood from
the influence of the weather, which
has been a serious problem heretofore.
The plating is a thin leaf which Is In
corporated in the finish Of the pr0pel-
Iers, and the idea was developed by
the forest products laboratory at
Madison, Wis, and placed In produc-
tion by the war department. The
process is practically 100 per cent ef.
fective in preventing absorption OF
water, particularly in the storage
stage. A French authority states that
so per cent of the French propellerS
produced are rejected by the pilots
mainly because they are out Of bal
ance. This difficulty is due largely to
unequal absorption or distribution Of
moisture and can be greatly reduced
by an effective water-proof1ng coating.

Pat Hutchinson is known far and

makes mistake.
Someone called Pat in an excited
voice and told of finding a skull
where a house was being repaired.
Pat rushed to the scene and sure
enough, there was the skull. Pat took
it on the run to the office of the pro-
scouting attorney and after gravely
inspecting the skull he said to the
sheriff:
"Pat, you take this home and use
it for tobacco jar"
Pat gasped: "But what about the
finding of this
ooh, never mind, Pat" said the
prosecutor. "Let's not say any more
about it,"
Pat had heard of "ivory," but had
never heard of plaster of paris.
