Cambridge Wins Slow Game

bridge dereated East New
Market here yesterday by score of
5 TO l. The game was the slowest
and most uninteresting game seen
mere this season. To lesson the
agony the two managers got together
and the game was shortened to seven
innings thus saving the loyal fans
the horror of the full nine inning
route.
The offer made by Slacum and
Hughlett of silk shirt to the Cam
bridge player making the first home
run on local grounds met it's fulfill
ment yesterday Todd smashed one
to deep center in the fifth and made
home before the ball could be flelded
20 eaten him.
Flowers was on the hill, and turn
ed in his second victory of the week.
For a time it looked as though he
might get a second shut-out to his,
credit, but East New Market got 4
runner across the plate in the seventh
inning.
The fielding features of the day
were contributed by, Swain at first
base for East New Market, f. Insen-
berry also made a good catch of a fly
back of short.
"Geve' Ruark led the attack for
Cambridge with a double and two
singles in three trips to the plate.
Todd came next with single and q
homer, in three attempts. Flowers
held the East New Market team to,
two lone bingles, one by F. Isenberg
and one by L. Myers. both coming in
the seventh inning.
The local boys ere off to Centre
Vile today and are looking forward
to a heavy week next week. The mane.
agement is trying to book Centreville
for a game here Monday, while Mar
della comes Wednesday, and Sails
Friday.
Irvington. of the fast Inter-club
League, of Baltimore will be here
Saturday to open up three game
series. One game to be played next
Monday and the other the following
Tuesday.

FEW H0RSE-DRAWN VEHICLES
Carriage and Wagon Builders Have About Given Up That Branch of
 of the Business.

The members of . firm formerly prominent in selling horse-drawn ve- hicles on the Pacific coast give some Interesting figures showing how the carriage and wagon builders have lost business, due to the inroads of the automobile industry in the transporta- tion field.
 It seems that there were 14,0O0 bug gfes sold in Los Angeles county alone fin 1896, and $500 wagons. Two years later the first motorcar appeared and business thereafter declined steadily. It Is doubtful if 100 buggies year are sold now in California. Salesmen working in rural distaricts used to sell an average of two buggies day and more sets of harness. One prominent wagon builder sold SS.O0O,000 worth of horse-drawn vehicles in 1896 In 1905 they stopped manufacturing them and concentrated their production fa- cilities on mOtorcars. which they had gradually developed as their wagon trade decreased.
 Not all firms were so far-sighted or fortunate, however, and many fac tories that formerly manufactured thousands of horse-drawn vehicles are but memory. Most wagon builders of progressive mind installed motor car departments and are now reaping a harvest as manufacturers of special truck and van bodies to be fitted to standard motorcar truck chassis, work for which their mechanical equipment working forces and experience ore par ticularly well adapted.

ECUADOR HAS FEW SCHOOLS
Colleges in South American Country Out of All Proportion to Pri.
 mary institutions.

If the proportion of whites in the population of a country is to be taken as an indication of it's intellectual status, then one might fairly expect only very moderate Intellectual achievement from Ecuador. One of ;he smAllest of Andean countries. with is few mOurtain towns linked with the rest of the world practically not otherwise than through its one impor- tant seaport. it's entire population is only abcut IF million, and of this number all are Indians and blacks ex- cepting the four hundred thousand of mixed origin and a mere one hundred thousand whites.
 At best, the twelve hundred primary schools, with nominal attendance of eighty thousand, do not begin to account for all the children of school age, and the thirty or forty secondary schools have to do with no more than forty-fve hundred pupils, all told.
 Like all Andean countries, however, Ecuador gives preferment to all who assume to follow a professional ca reer, and for higher instruction she counts the three universities of Quito, GuayaQuil and Cuenca, with six pro- vincial schools of trades and profes, siOns.

Watching Life os PiantA

From fuller information, now al hand in regard to the machine by aid of which the Indian scientist, Sir J. c. Bose, has been making visible ID London the ingrowth of plants, shows that he does much more than make visible what everybody already knew that plants increase in size. He also has revealed that the growth of a plant is by no means steady or con tinuous-that it is affected by many or the influences besides mere nutrimenf that affect the growth of animals. ln short this machine, which is called crescograph and magnifies movement a million times, proves that plants are much more alive than 1t Is customary to credit them with being, and it is not an altogether fanciful notion that when the facts in relation to plant life become better known, something of consideration for their feelings and something of compunction about treating them cruelty may develop.

MOTOR FUEL SUPPLY SHORT
Gasoline Cannot Re Relied On to Fill Demand-Aicohol the Coming
 Power.

Mineral oils vary very much in their makeup. Those of Mexico are part icu- larly rich in the heavier ingredients, and are therefore excellently adapted for use as fuel. The lighter oils yield more kerosene and gasoline.
 The prospect of gasoline supply pf- fers some reason for anxiety. It has been increa sed enormously within the last ten years. but the growth of the output has been only onethird as great as the growth of the automobile industry. There are onw 100000 au- tomobiles in the United States; by the end of the present year there will be 9,OOO.OOO.
 Nothing Is more certain than that the supply of gasoline will not keep pace with the increasing demand. We shall have to look to coal tar as q source of motor fuel. Already ben zol." by-product of the distillation of bituminous coal. is being used for this purpose in considerable quantities. An other fuel available (if carburetors and cylinders are redesigned) is alcohol. which can be obtained in unlimited quantities from molasses, unmarket- able potatoes, and all sorts of vege- table wastes.

Los Angeles Man Gained Fifteen Pounds Taking Tanlac--
 Troubles Overcome

"Tanlac has not only rid me of my troubles but has added fifteen pounds to my weight" said Joseph A. Dunmire, of 402 Croker St., Los Angles, Cal. Mir. Dunmire has been a trusted employe of the Los An geles Transfer Company for twenty seven years.
 Before I started taking TaIiac, !" he continued, "I could not eat a single meal without my food fer menting and gas forming sa bad it made me miserable. l had rheuma- tism in my right leg so bad at times l could hardly get about and at night 1 was too restless to get much sleep. I had very little appetite and went down hill so fast that l lost fifteen pounds and got so weak l could hardly do ,my work.
 ''Well, sir, in spite of the bad condition I was in l hadn't taken more than half bottle of Tanlac before I felt a hundred per cent better. Now all my sufferings have stopped completely, 1 can eat three meals every day and sleep like a log at night 1 have regained ev- cry pound of my lost weight and am in as good health as a man wants to be. I have started my daughter taking Tanlac, so you see what I think of it"

Increase In Japan,s Coal Output.

Shipping and Engineering notes with interest that the output of cosl in Japan during the first II months of 1919 was put at 25,S25, 900 tons, show ing an increase of 2.74O,O0O tons. or about 10 per cent, as compared with the corresponding period of the previ- ous year, in spite of the pessimlstic re- ports made from time to time of the gradual exhaustion of the mines. This was attributed to the revival of old mines and the increase in the number of new mines, owing to the profitable prices obtaining, although the output in Kyushu, which constitutes 90 per cent of the total output. did not ma terially change.

BRING THEIR OWN WELCOME
Robin and pandeiIon Loved by chil. dren Throughout the World, and
 Eagerly Looked For.

Someone has said that the dandelien Is pre-eminently the children's flower, for it grows all over the world and is known and loved by the little ones of every nation. The robin holds the same place in the affection of the chil- dren of this country, his arrival in the spring being eagerly looked for by them. And yet a charming woman asked recently while listening to a song sparrow and a white throat, Does robin sing, toof' Think of all she has lost-at dawn, at twilight and in the summer showers! Poor city dweller.
 And that reminds me of an incident in a railroad yard in Michigan. A pair of robins built their nest in a freight car, and just as the brood was matched the order came to send the car on to Chicago. The yardmen, after consul tation. telegraphed the situation to headquarters, and the order came in- stantly back to sidetrack the car till the babies were able to leave the nest. The fnen at both ends of the line were country boys, without doubt.
 Our own particular robins are back fin full feather fat, red and saucy as ever. We miss the one who always hoped instead of running, on account of some injury in his youth, and who was here every summer for four years. -Cbiooro noily NouS
