A Suggestion for Tired Business Men.

The ancient and honorable game called
horseshoe pitching" in America and "quoits'
in England, is having revival. An eastern
paper says the game has been general in the
west this year, with county contests in some
states.
In Ohio horseshoe pitching has become a
popular sport at county fairs, and for several
years contests for the state championship have
been held at the Ohio state fair-a gold medal
award nearly as big as horseshoe having been
dragged around for year or two by a Gallipolis
barber.
The inexpensive equipment for the game,
usually borrowed from the nearest blacksmith
shop, makes the game available for men who
cannot afford the outlay necessary for member
ship in golf clubs. Its rivaries are keen, and so
interesting that almost any neighborhood, urban
or rural, will furnish scores of spectators on
warm summer afternoons, seated in shady
places, who ought to, be at work.
The rules of the game are simple and easily
enforced. To promote sport which genera
tons gone enjoyed, and which affords exercise
and real sport at minimum expense, we quote
the rules with the suggestion that country clubs
will find it amusing for those not up to golf:
Distance Between Pegs-Forty feet.
Dimensions of Shoe-The limit is seven
and one-half inches long and seven inches
thick.
Weight of Shoes-Limit two pounds four
ounces.
Length of Caulks-Not more than three
fourths of an inch.
Distance Between Openings and
half inches inside measurement.
Height of Pegs-Eight inches, and peg not
to be more than one inch in diameter.
Scoring-No shoe more than eight inches
from the peg shall count. If player throws
\ two ringers and player following tops both,
the original player gets credit for one ringer.
If player throws ringer and player fol-
lowing pitches leaner. the man throwing
the ringer gets one point.

Iapan on a Commercial Mission.

The arrival at New Orleans of a Japanese
war vessel was made the occasion of consid-
erable splurge last week Enthusiastic boosters
for the great southern port took advantage OF
the event to give exploitation to the commercial
and industrial possibilities of the great Missis-
sippi valley region, through messages from gov
ernors of states affected and by other appropriate
means In this Governor MeKelvie joined, send
ing the following message Of greeting to the
Japanese commander:
There is no region in the world that is
more productive of the necessities OF life than
the corn belt, the heart Of which is located in
the Mississippi valley. Nebraska is a leader
among the states in this great, prosperous
region. New Orleans is one of the principal
ports of approach to this vast territory and
we welcome the visit you make, both as the
representative of your friendly nation, and in
the hope that most cordial business relations
may be established between this part of our
country and Japan.
All of this is very well as the polite express
sions of greeting to so important visitor, but
Japan in the present instance is nursing no SEN
timenta deusions The visit to the port Of New
Orleans is on strictly business basis. Japan has
concluded to make fuller use of its great feet of
cargo carriers, and by means of the Panama
canal carry its commerce to Atlantic ports direct
on its own bottoms. The increased freight rates
have made the long transcontinental freight haul
so costly that the extended ocean voyage be-
comes profitable. That is ALL
Seventy-six years ago Commodore Perry
knocked so effectively at the gates of isolated
Nippon that the bars were thrown down, and
the islanders were introduced to the great world
l. II
in the ways of civilization since then, retaining
in the meanwhile much Of the habit of nsularity
that characterized them in the beginning. In
tercourse with them is now freely carried on.
and their vessels will be as welcome in Atlantic
as in Pacific ports, but it is we'll to remember
that the shift in destination is made only be-
cause it is of immediate advantage to the
Japanese.

Grover Cleveland-Dead Democrat

Grover Cleveland, who first called the atten-
ton of the democratic party to the fact that
public Office is public trust made another
pregnant remark 1t is this:
The United States government has not a
dollar to give anybody which it does not take
out of somebody else's pocket
President Wilson, at time when the public
needed its chief executive on the job as never
before since the reconstruction days following
the civil war, left his country to stew in a
prodigiously costly industrial mess while he took
the world temporarily under his wing. Public
Office was European trust for him, with Europe
First and America Last
The dollars he has since put in the pockets
OF a great horde of unnecessary federal Office
holders in Washington and elsewhere about the
country, were taken out of the peoples pockets
are still being taken out of their pockets. And
two and half billion more dollars would be
taken from the same pockets if the republican
congress had not cut down the appropriations
demanded by the democratic administration, to
that extent.
If Cox and Roosevelt touring the country to
advocate continuation of Wilson policies and
expenditures for not only the United States but
all of Europe, would take up Grover Cleveland
ideas and discard those of Woodrow Wilson.
they might please the people whose pockets have
been empted by the extravaganza of their party.

Things the Democrats Omit.

Scottsbluff, Neb., Aug. '14.-To the
Editor of The Bee: The Bee has
shown the road our party has got to
travel this year by calling attention
to a number of the democratic mis-
statements already. Now we admit
if things they say were true, then
they would have some claim to the
peoples support, but the most out
standing feature Of the whole mess
Is that it is not true. After all the
praise they give this administration
and the raking they give the re-
publicans, their whole propaganda
contains little Of interest compared
to what it might contain. 1t could
have shown the promises of 1912
to reduce the h. C. l. and then the

HEREDITY AND DEAFNESS.

The telephone is due to Alexander
Graham Bells interest in deafness.
To the same interest is due the best
contribution we have to the rela.
tions Of inheritance to deafness. He
provided a fund which enabled DR..
4. A. Fay to study rne family re.
latiops of the deaf in the United
States more than 20 years ago. The
researches since that time have
done little more than confirm the
data disclosed by DR.. Fay.
In making the study DR.. Fay be-
gan with a large amount Of data
collected by DR.. Bell himself. The
Investigations related to the re-
suits of marriage Of 4,471 deaf per-
sons in the United States and Can.
ada.
Won Troltsch said every third per.
son between 20 and so years of age
is more or less deaf in at least one
ear. However, In this study the
term deaf is restricted to those who
were so deaf that they attended
schools for the deaf at some time OF
other prior to the time of the study
The study teaches that deafness,
both congenital and acquired, Is in
heritable, though the laws Of its in
heritance are somewhat different
from those which relate to other
qualities. This is because a person
may be deaf because of trouble ir
his center of hearing or in his
nerves Of hearing, or in some ont
of several parts Of his hearing ap
p1ratus
Therefore, deafness is not sim
Pile quality as is the case with some
others. When a deaf person mar.
ries he generally marries a deaf
partner. Only 20 per cent OF the
married deaf were married to hear
ing partners.
Marriages of deaf persons are not
so productive as marriages Of hear.
ing partners. Marriages in which
both parties are deaf are less pro-
ductive than marriages of the deaf
with hearing partners.
Marriages of the deaf are far
more likely to result In deaf Off
spring than ordinary marriages.
children Of marriages of the deaf
are deaf On the other hand, most
Of the children born to such unions
have good hearing.
If the deaf parents are cousins
be higher.
In a series Of 81 marriages Of deaf
cousins, As per cent of the unions
resulted in some deaf children and
80 per cent of all the children born
were deaf.
Rather strangely. the marriage Of
the deaf to the deaf produced no
higher percentage of deaf children
than the marriages of the deaf to
hearing partners. The children OF
the congenitally deaf are far more
liable to be deaf than are those Of
those who acquire deafness.
1t seems, however, established
that acquired deafness can be in
herited. The possession OF deaf
relatives is a trustworthy indication
of a liability to deaf offspring. If
both partners have deaf relatives
the liability - is increased.

Small Returns With Safety.

Ponz's victims illustrate once more the ignor-
ance of well-grounded principles of finance on
which adventures thrive. An unthinking class,
fed up on stories of enormous profits made by
great financers, rush to invest their savings with
men who promise them similar gains. Pozi
might have worn his heart out seeking their
money on a six or eight per cent guarantee, but
when he promised so in six weeks they piled in
millions upon him.

He declined, with the remark that if it paying
8 per cent he would invest few thousand dol
lars in it. Asked his reason for such discrimi-
nation he said his observation and experience
had taught him that companies that paid mod
crate dividends and built up q surplus always
turned out to be better and safer investments

Country Without Orphanages.

Orphan asylums unknown in Australia.
Destitute orphans are sent to private families
and the government makes an adequate allow
ance for the children's board until boys reach
the age of IA and girls 16. Families assuming
care Of orphans have to pass a searching in
quiry before entrusted with the responsibility
and government officials not only keep watch
full eye on the nations dependents during the
period Of guardianship but also see that they
are given start in life when they are old
enough to go to work-Sydney Bulletin.
