John Eyers fears that economy talk
may hurt major league baseball He
thinks fans will get the idea that the
game is TO be cheapened and would
have the moguls modify their plans to
reduce player-limitS and salaries. If
ball clubs put up the satisfactory arti-
Gle of ball the fans will not worry
much about the number Of PLAYERS
carried nor the amount of money paid
in wages.

have not much of a line yet on the
spectator material. Hockey and
wrestling team members will get busy
after the holidays and the football ele-
ment also plans to get together soon
to talk over plans for next season.
Some one has estimated that major
league clubs will invest in salaries
this year 100000 less than usual.
One reason is that deep gashes are
to be made in the salary scale and
another is that players will be paid
for five months work instead of six.

FOR NATIONAL Control
OF PHYSICAL TRAINING

Government control of the physical
education CT boys and girls between
the ages of six and 16 is provided in a
bill which will soon be introduced in
Congress, according to Dean w. w
Small of the University of Chicago
One of the chief reasons for the step
is, he says the fact that 10 per
cent. of the population of the
United States is illiterate in a
mental state, while from 40 to 70
per cent. are physically ilIiterate.
Among the mentally illiterate, sta
tistics had shown that many were
simple-minded and unable to learn
while that was not the case with
those who were lacking physically,
and they could be taught. The sue
cess of the English law for physical
training passed during the war was,
according to Dean Small, a splendid
argument for law in this country.

OF which five are types Of new genera.
Most of them We're found in a single

which was cut into half-inch slices, in
every one of which the insects are
densely crowded. The amber is from

perhaps washed from still older depos-

being a notable exception.

God Of the Lower World.
In one temple Of Japan the image

In one temple Of Japan the Image Is
a Japanese conception of the god of
the lower world. The figure has IN
unusual history. An image maker, it
is said, died. When he appeared be-
fore the lord of the other world, be
was told that in his lifetime he had
never represented the lord of the world
properly, and that he must return to
earth and make a correct likeness.
The figure is pointed out as the result
of the order. 1t is so horrible with
its red face and malevolent glare that
the story seems plausible.

Never has the news OF a death been
SO keenly felt nor so much regretted in
automobile circles as that of the sud
den passing of I. w. Dill, one of the
Oldest and best known dealers in Cen
trail Pennsylvania. Like flash out of
a clear sky came the news of the mis-
fortune that befell Mr. Dill in fire in
the storage rooms which he used as a
warehouse on South Cameron street. At
the hospital where he was removed, hope
was held out for his recovery, and then
a week later the news of his having
passed away. was a great shock to his
host of friends.
Mr. Dill had won much prominence
and was recognized as leader in the
automobile business in this city. For
years he had been identified in every
movement that meant for the better
ment of the motor industry in all its
phases. He was a member OF the Har-
risburg Motor Dealers Association and
lent all his efforts toward making 1t the
strong organization 1t is to-day. AS a
special honor to Mr.. Dill this associa-
tion attended his funeral in a body, more
than forty members being present.
Mulberry street bridge are many tro-
phies that are a testimonial of the many
activities of this prominent motorist !;
trophies that he won in endurance and
sociability runs in the early days of
motoring before the war. 1t was al
ways hobby of Mr.. Dill's to enter a
machine that was tuned up to the min
ute and this fact coupled with his care
full driving usually brought him out a
winner
OF late years Mr.. Dill devoted his en-
tire time to the wholesaling of trucks
and tractors. He was the Central Penn
syivania 5obbsr and distributor Of the
famous Republic and Day-Eider trucks
and the Reed tractor. He handled dur
ing the course Of HIS long career many
of the popular cars of to-day and it
was through his efforts that so many
of them became as we'll known In this
territory as they are. At the time of
his death Mr.. Dill was the third oldest
dealer from point of service in the city
