WILL NEVER PLAY BASEBALL
Christy Mathewson Gives Reasons
Why the French Are Not Likely to
Take Up Game.

France, the country that went
through the fighting Of the biggest war
in history without batting an eye, will
never adopt baseball as national
pastime because the game is too
rough" This was learned from no
less an authority than Capt. Christie
pher Mathewson, who arrived at New
York recently.
Although the Poilus have bravely a.
tempted few games under American
tutelage, they're more afraid Of a
hard-hit liner or grounder than they
are of a German IT." according to
Mathewson. "Their infield work is
rotten" said Christy. "They can run
bases all right, but they get little op-
portunity, because they can't bat. And
I don't believe you could pick up a
f1rst-class catcher In all Of France.
Every time Frenchman gets behind
bat he wants to retreat about ten
PAGES, erect a barbed-wire entangle-
ment, dig himself dugout and crawl
into 1t.
mo, the Frenchman will never take
to baseball In big way. He prefers
something gentle, such as football and
dueling"

NEW RAILROADS IN EUROPE
French Engineers, 1t Is Said, Are
Thinking Of Tunneling Strata
Of Gibraltar.

The French genius is never idle,
whether in art, literature, trade or
transportation.
French engineers announce four pos
sible new direct and through transpor-
tation routes starting from Paris, says
the Outlook. One is called "The AcrOp-
oils Express" The present Paris-Ath-
ems route runs across France and Italy
to the port of Brindisi, thence by wa
ter to the port of Patras in Greece, and
thence by rail to Athens. The new
route would save little in actual run
ming time, but would eliminate the de-
lays in trans-shipments. 1t would fol-
low the present route to Italy, whence
it would veer due east to Trieste. and
thence east and south through Croatia
and Serbia.
The second route Is between Paris
and Constantinople, following the first
TO Belgrade, and thence over the old
Berlin-Bagdad route to Constantinople.
Another new through route Is to
Odessa, the great Black sea port. This
would start from Paris and Bordeaux
and cross Italy, the Balkan states and
southwestern Russia. This route
would demand new trackage from Bel
grade along the Danube about 1SO
miles.
But on the fourth proposition such
an immense amount Of railway con-
struction, as well as Of undersea tun-
neling, would be required as to make
one query whether for very many years
the scheme could ever become profita-
BILE. The plan is to save time between
London and Paris on the one hand and
Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires on
the other. As the distance from the
French port Of Dakar in Senegal, on
the West African coast, to the north
Brazilian ports involves the shortest
transatlantic span, French engineers
propose to link Paris and Dakar by
rail, tunneling the Straits of Gibraltar
and building line down the coasts OF

NINE PEOPLE OUT OF TEN HAVE
ACID STOMACH AND INDIGESTION
Acids in Stomach That Sour and Ferment Your Food
Should Be Neutraized With Laxcarin
To End Indigestion

"While there are many forms oi
stomach trouble" says a physician
who has made a special study of
stomach disorders. II believe that
fully ninety per cent of these cases
are traceable to the excessive secre-
ton of hydrochloric acid in the stom-
ach with consequent food fermenta-
tion, gas and delayed digestion.
The stomach needs certain amount
of acid for proper digestion, but
many people have an unnatural ten
dency to secret more acid than their
stomach requires. This excess acid
makes all the trouble.
Their stomachs are almost con-
stantly in a state of sourness and
ferment, extremely irritating and in
flaming to the stomach lining and
