NATIONAL LEAGUE HAS
MOST STAR TWIRlERS

Whatever may be the merit OF
the argument for or against the
National league, it is reasonably
apparent it has five or six clubs
with four or more firSt-claSs
proven pitchers, and that the
American clubs are not so fortu-
nately equipped.
In the National league, New
York, Chicago, Brooklyn, Gin
cinnati, and possibly Pittsburgh
have each four or five hurlers
able to pitch any club not too
deficient in other respects, into
prominent position.
The American league can only
show one or two teams whose
pitching staffs are unimpeach-
able. While several clubs have
two or three stars only one or
two have four men of proven re-
liability 10 use in rotation.

Thunderstorm.

Heaven opened then, indeed. The flash was almost too novel for Its in. expressibly dangerous nature to be at once realized, and Gabriel could only comprehend the magniftence of its beauty. It sprang from east. west, north, south. It was perfect dance of death. The forms of skeletons ap- peared in the air. shaped with blue fire for bones-dancing, leaping. striding. racing around. and mingling altogether in unparalleled confusion. With these were intertwined undulating snakes of green. Behind these was broad mass of lesser light. Simultaneously came from every part of the tumbling sky what may be called shout; since, though no shout ever came near 1t. 1t was more of the nature of shout than of anything else earthly.-Arnold.

Airplanes Are
 Again Delayed

The four army airplanes took off from Nome on their return trip on Thursday, August 26. Shortly after getting into the air Captain Street. found his engine was not working properly. He returned to the field at Nome. By the time he had gotten his en- zine to working satisfactorily the weather had become so unfavor- able that he did not deem it ex- pedient to take off. He has been at Nome the past week waiting for fair weather. Planes Nos. 2. 3 and 4 are waiting for him at Fairbanks.

Curious Old EnuIish Customs.

A curious custom. the Hocktide fes. uval of Kissing day. is observed in Hungerford. England. With the ex- ception of three years, 1t has been ob- served every year since the days of John of Gaunt. With a trumpet 300 years old, the trumpeter opens the day. blowing 1t on the balcony of the courthouse. The town crier, in red faced suit rings his bell and calls all commoners to court. The tuttimen. two villagers, start on their round. carrying poles to which are affixed large bouquets. They enter each shop and house to collect a one-penny fine and failing in this exact a kiss from the wife and daughters of each com moner. Signs of struggle are frequent. but each time kiss Is obtained. An orange Is thrown by follower to the big crowd of children that trails along and the oranges disappear rapidly.

Ancient Engineering Feat

The Chengtu irrigation system Is one of the most noteworthy examples of an early engineering feat and deserves to rank with the Pyramids. The head waters of the system are in the foot hills of the Thibetan mountains at the city of Kwan Hsien, where the Flu Kiang breaks through the northern part of the plain and makes Its mad rush toward the sea. The river bed falls in level 1,200 feet during its TO- mile trip along the edge of the plain. Some idea of the magnitude of the engineering task may be realized from the fact that the flow during freshet is not far from 30,OO0,OOO cubic feet of water a minute. approximately the flow of the Niagara river.-Asia Maga. zine.

Toothache Remedies.

A good remedy for toothache in Dev- onshire, England. is to bite a tooth from a skull in the churchyard and keep 1t in the pocket always. In America, if you trim your finger nails regularly on Friday morning you will never have the toothache. In Ire land, Christian pilgrims who visit the holy we'll of Tubber Quan on the last three Sundays in June, to worship St. Quan, are required to give an offering of hair as a charm against all possible dangers of toothache in the future. To get the best results 1t Is necessary to go three times around neighboring tree on the bare knees and then cut of a lock of hair and tie 1t to branch of the tree. This tree, fringed with human hair, is sight, but, neverthe- less, is an object of deep veneration.

WASHINGTON - High Gc

WASHINGTON - High Gov ernment officials have expressed the belief that the United States Government will not insist on a specific statement from Poland regarding that republics inten- tions against the Bolsheviki. A general denial on the part of the Poles of any imperialistic aims, it is believed, would be sufficient.
 Italy has informed the United States Government that the two governments are virtually in ac- cord in their sentiments concern ing the usso-Polish situation.
 The Italian government was referring to the recent American note which was issued by Bain- bridge Colby, secretary of state.

GRANDMA never LET
Her HAIR GET GRAY
She Kept Her Locks Dark and
Glossy, with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you -aarken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell,
because it's done so naturally, so even
ly. , Preparing this mixture though
at home is mussy and troublesome.
At little cost you can buy at any drug
store the ready-to-use preparation, i'm
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents called "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at n time. BY morning
all gray hair disappears. and. after an
other application or two. your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luXuriant
Gray. faded hair. though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age. and as We
all desire youthful and attractive ap-
pearance. get busy at once with
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger.-Ady.
