WOMEN SEEK KNOWLEDGE Rx LEAN PRESCOTT ADAMS

Since sne has taken to Hooking into things sne finds that she had missed great oeai of education and real pleasure by neg lecting to delve into everyday analts. It gives one such cosmopolitan reel ing to be informed about things IL IS so neighborly to think, "oh, yes, know about that" upon seeing product material. label or utensil, as well as copies of the masters.
 There is much truth in the statement that women often know the least about materials they work with the most. An architect is not even allowed to start on plans for a building without thor oush knowledge of his materials. Building human structure. however. the most important business in this world, is generally left to instinct ar handed down domestic science.
 Knowing about the United States government inspection label. however, is but part of the general informa- a- tion necessary to the business of every woman who acts as purchasing agent for home.
 Federal inspection has been in opera tion more than 20 years, but it is only since the laws of 1908 which conferred authority and regulated appropriatiohs sufficient to make the work comprc- hensive that it has afforded any great protection for our meat supply. Ihe newest set of meat inspection resuia- tions assigned by the Secretary of Agri- culture became effective November, 1914. These regulations represent the result of eight years of experience In meat inspection and are drafted to con form with recent scientinc discoveries. As a result of these laws 1t is ma ie certain that the mark "U. S. Inspect = and Passed" can appear only on meat that has passed rigid te-morteni and a post-mortem inspection at the hands of skilled veterinarians. It is an important part of the bus.- ness of every housewife to inform her self about the foods she buys.

 CITY SCALES STARTED
Community Scales Make for Better Marketing Conditions, Is Stated. County Agents to Co.,
 Operate

The agriculture and marketing commit tee of Birmingham, of which John H. Frye is president, has inaugurated movement for the installation of city scales in all north Alabama cities and towns. This is intended as a further move toward the creation of better mar keting conditions in the state, which. it is believed, will tend to diversity and improve crops and crop conditions.
 Secretary T. P. Hay was authorized by the committee at meeting yesterday to take charge of the movement and to call to his aid all available agencies in the sections in which city scales are proposed.
 Under the proposed plan each com munity would be called upon to purchase and install the scales and to engage and pay the weigher Where this plan has been tried out, it is claimed, it has worked admirably. A fee of 10 cents is charged for each wagon or truck weighed and it is stated that these fees usually are sufficient to pay all expenses. in- cluding the weigher's salary.
 The county demonstration agents will be asked to cooperate in this movement. which has the approval of J. F. Duggar, director of the extension service at Au- burn.

DEMPSEY ID SHUN
 NATIONAL GAME
Challenger to Avoid All Pos sible, Chances of Being
 Injured

Toledo, O., May 2S.-Because of the danger of an injury to his hands, Jack Dempsey, who is to meet Jess Willard in a heavyweight championship battle here July 4, probably will drop baseball from his training programme
 The challenger engaged in a game today and Tex Rickard, promoter of the contest, wore worried look every time Dempsey raced to pick up bounder or stabbed the air in fielding fly balls. Rickard fears that Dempsey might break finger if struck with a swiftly batted ball.
 Dempsey already has stored his motor car until after the match and is avoid ing all other risks of an injury. He has decided to wear a headgear when he be- gins boxing to protect his ears from damaging blows.
 Bill Tate, giant negro heavyweight from New York, joined the challenger camp today and he looks like vaiuapie addition. He is 6 feet inches tall, Just an inch shorter than Willard, weighs zoe pounds in ring togs, and has a -reach or an inch and a half longer than that possessed by the champion. Dempsey was eager to step a few rounds with Tate, but Trainer Deforrest forbid It. Instead, the challenger took a slx-mlie hike on the road, jogging along wltn Tate and Terry Kellar, a Dayton, O., light heavyweight
 Rickard today ordered two sets or es- pecially handmade boxing gloves TOT the championship battle from the maker who has made gloves for all important cnam- pionships for 25 years. The gloves Will be of the regulation five-ounce weight; Rickard ordered two sets so one could be thrown into the ring if either Dempsey or Willard split their first pair of gloves.

Baron victories have been coming with such regularity that they almost got monotonous, so mob ody can Kick on the Chicks getting that last game. Sew en straight is long enough winning streak anyhow.
 With a real team opposing us and Benny Karr probably on the hurling hill, Moleys men will have a tough job in getting away with the opening game with Little Rock this afternoon. Karr has won six and lost one this season.
 Slapnicka is slated to hurl for the Barons. and Slap usually goes good against the Travellers. Remember that 15-inning, l to 0 game he won from Turkey Roman last year?
 Sam Crews wasn't exactly right yes- terday, but at that Sam pitched good ball. The Barons appeared to let down after their double-win of Thursday. Maybe it was overconfidence that beat 'em yesterday.
 Just why Little Rock is not higher in the standing than at present is W fully good on paper, as good as New Orleans, in fact, but on their present road trip they haven't met with much success.
 Have you noticed how Mobile is squirting these days? After Moley's men the Bears settled down and have been taking all corners.
 The biggest surprise of the season was sprung by Johnny Dobbs yester- day when he canned Frank Kitchens. Kitchens has been a member of the New Orleans club for three years and served as manager of Mobile during their disastrous season few years back. He is regarded as one of the best in the circuit and fans will be astonished to hAlr of his release.
 All clubs were forced to use the pruning knife yesterday in order to trim their rosters down to IA names, the maximum prescribed by the league. Moley sent his boy Sammie to the vir- ginia league, where he expects the fastball artist to get the necessary seasoning.
 Sam's sale leaves Moley with five pitchers, Slapnicka, Crews, Ba1lmer, Morrison and Sigman; three catchers, Peters, Hairston and Gooch; three out felders and three infielders Hairston will continue to hold down third until

 Distell of Little Rock was regarded as the best shortstop in the league last season, but he couldn't stick with st. Louis. He. Brottem and Grimm are the clubs stars, outside of the pitchers.
