In the Days News.

The annals of baseball contain no
name more familiar to the devotees of
the game than that of Christy"
Mathewson, who reaches his 40th
birthday today. Consequently, it is
with genuine sorrow that the fans
have learned that for Matty' the
days of active participation in the ma
tional pastime are probably over. The
man who is conceded to have been the
greatest pitcher of his time has been
obliged to 90 to the Adirondaeks in an
effort to regain his health. Mathewson
was born in the town of Factoryville,
Pa, and began his baseball career as
student at Bucknell university. While
still attending college he joined the
Norfolk team of the Virginia state
league At Norfolk his remarkable
achievement of winning q straight
games attracted the attention of the
baseball world and the young pitcher
was promptly engaged by the New
York club of the National league. For
10 years he remained the star of the
Giants. When his active career as a
player was over he became manager of
the Cincinnati club, later returning to
the Giants as a coach.

Persons who have been going to a
most extraordinary amount of trouble
to concoct in the privacy of their own
homes certain queer colored and strange
smelling beverages which they name
one thing or another and expect their
guests to agree bear a certain resem-
blance to their namesakes, have en-
loved the thrill that is said to be a
part of a mild form of law breaking.
Even this joy, it appears, may be taken
out of life to some extent for the re-

prohibition commissioner has indicated
that no percentage of a margin of
safety is to be laid down, in every in
stance, for the guidance of these home
workers
In other words, the judge of what
comes forth from the boilers and the
crooks is to be the maker and the
drinker of the same. This, however
does not apply to such drinks as have
been helped along in the making by the
addition of sugar or other ingredients
used for the purpose of helping along
fermentation. But if fruit juices are
prepared and in the course of nature
gather a certain amount of alcohol to

need be expected unless the drinker
rushes forth from his own castle acting

TURKISH COTTON.
Will Be Factor in Century to Come
Fields Used For 400 Years

Though song and literature have given
the cotton fields of the South a place in
the American mind that no other cot
ton fields can ever hope to rival, those
of the Ottoman empire will probably in
crease greatly in extent during the com
ing century and add materially to the
worlds supply of cotton
At least four centuries ago cotton was
being cultivated in the southwestern and
southeastern regions of Asia Minor. and
more cotton being grown than there is
nowadays. The crop had fallen in 1865
to some 1000 bales, but in 1902 it had
come up to 1000 bales, in 1910 it had
reached 100000 bales, and at present it
continues TO expand as part of the mod
ern development of Turkey in Asia as a
cotton country that is only in its begin
ming.

DO NOT FREEZE TO DEATH.
Lower Forms of Animal Life Can With
stand Intensest Cold.

We are accustomed to think that the
freezing of any form of animal life means
the certain death of the victim, and while
TINS is true as regards the larger and
more highly developed forms, many mi
mute organisms and some larger insects
.are not injured by freezing.
In general it may be said that any cat
.erpillar which normally passes the win
ter in cold climates can be frozen hard
fand live, and the grubs of the daddy
long-legs may be frozen so hard that they
may be easily broken into fragments, and
those not broken will In due course thaw
out and live.
The idea that freezing temperature
MS fatal to all forms of insect life is the
basis for the popular belief that freezing
weather is healthful. As matter of fact
germs-that is, microbes or bacteria
are not bugs at all. and very few OF
them will be killed by a temperature no

POLAND A WORLD LESSON.

While it is not certain the allied ma
tions may not be forced to take up
arms in defence of Poland the attitude
of the United States and England
strengthen the hope they will not. Pc,
land is one of the small nations crea-
ted by the league of nations and is
really a ward of that international COM
pact That it did not create itself
but was created by outside nations Is
clearly shown in the speech of Pre-
mfer Lloyd George before The British
house of commons. He said: ''No man
could have taken a more determined
and Jealous part in setting up Polish
independence than President Wilson. /"
President Wilson : present attitude to-
ward Poland is expressed by Secretary
of State Colby as follows: "This gov
ernInent believes in a united free and
autonomous Polish state, and the people
of the United States are earnestly So
licitous for the maintenance of Poland 5
political independence and territorial
integrity. From this attitude we will
not depart, and the policy of this gov
erument will be directed to the employ
mant of all available means to render
it effeetual.'
Poland then is a child of the league
Of nations and apparently is showing
the wilfullness of childhood, because
it invaded Bolshevik Russia against the
warnings of the entente nations and
against the advice of its strongest
leader, Paderewski. 1t is now receiving
its punishment for attacking a stronger
child and would like to have "Papa
make the naughty boy stop"
The answer is given by Lloyd George
who says:
"The Soviet government in any con-
ditions of peace are entitled to take in
to account the fact of attacks made
by the Polish armies upon Russia and
that these attacks were delivered iii
spite of warnings of the allied powers
and they are also entitled to demand
such guarantees as would be exacted by
any powers against repetition of an at
tack of that kind.
81 do not challenge that on behalf OF
the government and I am not aware
that any of our allies have done SC.
What we have challenged is this: that
whatever mistakes may be committed
by a government in the way of aggres-
sion upon another nation it iustifes
retaliation or reprisal or a punishment
which goes to the extent of wiping
out its national existence
Lloyd George also gives the world
the clearest Interpretation of Article
Ten of the league covenant when he
says:
''We have entered into covenant
with the nations who signed the peace
| treaty to have recourse to other meth
DDS than the brutal methods of war for
the purpose of settling international
disputes, and the whole governing and
root idea of that covenant, as / under
stand it, does not contemplate neces-
sarily military action in support of
an imperiled nation. 1t contemplates
economic action and pressure; it con-
templates the support of the strug-
Cling people. And when it is said that
if you give any support at all to Poland
it involves great war, with conserip-
tion and all the mechanism of war with
which we were so painfully acquainted
during the last few years, that is IL
