SUBSIST MAINLY ON DATES
Fruit Is the Mainstay of Life to the
People of Egypt, Arabia,
and Persia.

East is west so far as the palm is
concerned, Hawaii, California, Flor
ida, Cuba, Egypt, Palestine, they all
know their palms. OF all varieties
none is so dear to the heart as the
date palm. We all know it's delicious
fruit, but few can conceive the desert
dweller's love for it, for he only can
appreciate it's grateful shade in the
sweltering desert heat.
The date palm is always sure sign
of water for to thrive it must have
this. Rising often to height of 100
feet, it is haven Of refuge to the
parched traveller, who knows that to
dig near it Is to find water. Then
there is the delicious fruit to be con-
sidered, too. Many of US know the
date as luxury-sometimes stuffed
or otherwise, but a considerable part
of the inhabitants. of Egypt, of
Arabia and Persia, subsist almost en-
tirely on its fruit. They boast also of
its medicinal virtues. Then the CAM
els feed upon the date stone.

I recently visited my married sis

taught my little niece to put one arm

A rather shy young man called upon
me one evening and, though we had

land American League clubs have bumped into more
harassing fate than any other rivals.
They have had stars crippled, pitchers with lame
arms, outelders with broken legs and everything else
that tends to wreck ball club.
And here at last they romping along as the two
rival claimants for pennant, the first that either will
have ever WON'T either wins
They are the two haunted clubs attempting to break
away from the bondage of the past.
With an even break of luck either should win. The
Yanks have the batting and pitching power Cleveland
mas the organization and strength in other lines.
But 1T Is yet bit too early to overlook the White
Sox, who have quite punch of their own with chance
for their pitching to get very good.
1t Will be great battle-almost great as the
American League affair-and but good guesser
now pick the two world series Spots
To Meet Dempsey
The battle between Fulton and Wills will decide the
next opponent for Dempsey in view Of the Carpenter
delay.
If Fulton wins he will stand out as the leading chal-
lenger this side of the water His confession of
fake fight is too palatable but seems that we
must take our heavyweights for their fighting ability
not their morals their craftsmanship, their loyalty to
anything but the purse.
The crop, in the main, is too savory-so one is
about good another barring few such as Tunney
Martin, etc.
If Wills wins there may be rumpus. Dempsey has
said he would draw the color line But very likely he
won't if there is enough money at stake and Wills
looks to be the next in line.
II Fulton wins handily he is be matched with
Dempsey for fall date Just present he is the ony
one who seems to have any part Of chance barring
Carpenter.
Nothing short Of terrific slump can now rob siser
OF the American League leadership. And Sisler isn't
of the sumpng type he has always been consistent
hitter. He has fine swing with world of power
keen eye, fine speed, good temperament and enough
physical stamina to keep going Add to his batting the
fact that he is also fine pitcher, outeder and
handy man anywhere else, and you get some idea
Of his general worth.
Once in while the Athletics win ball game lust
to keep from being entirely consistent
