the most monstrous piece of decep-
ton that has ever been perpetrated
in the history of American sport. But
that little Eddie, of all of them,
should have fallen was almost unbe-
lievable.
Every ballplayer, every boxer,
every jockey; yet, every athlete in
any of the various branches of sport
should take heed of the lesson to be
found in the sad case of Eddie CT
cote. In weak moment the little
pitcher took the step that crushed
his wife and family with shame. In
that moment he betrayed good old
Charles Comiskey, his benefactor; he
betrayed the confidence of a whole
nation of baseball fans and he threw
over his best friends. Why did he
do it? How could he do it?
AS the star pitcher of the White
Soy, Cicotte drew salary of some
$4,000 a year, a tidy salary, even
in these stressful times. And yet he
cast aside conscience, friends and
reputation for ten thousand tainted
dollars. Greed entered into CT
cote and his fellow players in the
ness of character that no one could
have believed was in him. Today CT

WORKING ROADS NORTH
Yours truly,
Maurice Pysher, Mgr,

The road north to the river is be-
ing worked this week. The sand is
being dug from the sides and placed
on top of the road bed, ond this is to
be covered with three feet of hard
dirt, and it is thought the system will
put the road in good shape. This
piece of road is one of the, hardest to
keep in-shape in the country, on ac-
count of the sand, and the only real
way to remedy it is to have it mac
adamized.

WASHINGTON COLLEGE
TO TAKE ON new LIFE
A. $. Cook, Sees Bright future Pro-
pOsal Made To Form Combination
OF State institutions, With One
School As A Central Headquarters.

While it is admitted that Washing
| ton College, ChesteroWn, is heavily
| laden with debt the future of the in
/ stitution looks bright. Tentative
! plans were made at a conference be
tween the Board of Visitors and Gov
errors of the college and the Balti-
more committee, says Albert S. Cook
State superintendent Of Public
| Schools who took part in the meet
ing Saturday at Chestertown in an
advisory capacity.
Mr.. Cook. like other members of
the committee, declined 20 discuss
the plans He said, however, that
he was very well satisfied with the
outlook. The Board of Governors
and Visitors met this morning
and it is expected an important an
nouncement will De made.
1t is understood that the idea is
to keep the college open O. for Two
years by raising $4,000 year.
This, with the $4,000 is receives
annually for the State, is expected
10 tide it over until plans, now being
studied by State officials can be test
ed.
Former Senator Clarence w. Per-
kins, one of the committee, express
ed the same opinion as voiced by Mr..
Cook concerning the college future.
Il am sure the result of the con-
ference" said Senator Perkins yes
terday, will be that the college Will
be opened and put on a basis that
will assure it a broaded scope and
a stronger position in the commun-
ity."
1t Is expected that Governor Rit-
chic within the qeXt year or 50 will
make a complete survey of educa-
tiOnal institutions of the State that
are of particular advantage to the
Commonw ealth.
One member of the city committee
that is to aid the college has some
very definite ideas on combining
educational institutions now being
partially supported by the State.
This member contends 100000 is
spent in the State for college educa-
ton that could be concentrated to
more advantage if a system could be
created with a mother institution.
1t is hardly likely that Hopkins
ever will consent to come under State
control said this member: there
fore, we would have to look to the
State Agricultural College as the
mother institution. 1t is my idea
that more efficient and broader edu-
cational work could be accomplished
to the benefit of the State if St.
Johns College and Washington Col
lege be maintained for the classical
and academic courses, and the Agri-
culture College at College Park for
t h e engineering nd scientific
courses"

ing only about 2,500.000 horsepower per year. A great deal of this power is in the West, but New York state, on account of the power generated at Niagara Falls, ranks first. California, Maine and Washington come next ln order.
 Merrill says the time is coming
 when all the transcontinental railroads will be electrified. thus saving great supplies of coal and oil. They will get
 their power principally from water power but to stabilize the supply of electricity, shper-power lines. linking up the coal mines and water falls, across the continent will be created. Merrill points to the great success of electrical locomotives on the Chi cago. Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, running from the center of Montana | to Seattle. An overhead trolley is used There trains have to haul no coal for theFr own use. and the pas senger trains have more traffic than they can handle because they are so nuch more desirable than the steam ! trains.
 The fuel. situation. which is steadily becoming increasingly difficult. will result in great stimulus to the devel- | opment of water power the world over. | Without another source of power, coal
 or oil are absolute necessities. Car | shortage or no car shortage. coal must he hauled, lest the nation freeze or perish from lack of the necessities made by machinery. It is safe to say | that the greatest need in America to- day is for more and cheaper power. And the development of water power
 will revolutionize industry and make
 the burden that the average man car
 ries much easier.

NEW YORK-An unprecedented de- mand for American automobiles of the mailer type in Europe was noticed by -. A. Miles. automobile show manager of the national automobile chamber Of commerce. during his three-months' trip through England, France and neighooring countries, from which he has just returned.
 The English and French are keen for American cars. are buying them now at abnormally high prices and probably will continue to do so," Niles said.
 As a result of the war. all Europe. and in fact all the world. has been completely sold on motor transporta- ton, both for persons as we'll as mer- chandise. The truck business contin- ues to grow, especially as the railroads over there are overtaxed.
 The small type of car seems to be favored. Of these great numbers are seen on the road. but of the big cars not nearly SO large a portion as we see at home. People there are not anxious 10 buy expensive cars and. moreover, the cost of operation has it's effect.
 Gasoline, which by the way, is a very much better grade than we have here. is selling at about 74 cents an English gallon, which Is high com pared with our price here. This is the result of high taxes and the fact that all gasoline has to be imported.
 'I think the English as we'll as the French arc pretty well satisfied that they get high value for their money fin the purchase of an American car

 Merrill says he expects to see S,00O,- 900 horsepower of electrical equip ment installed w.shin the next ten years for the generation of power from these natural resources.
 In Merrilrs opinion the nation has just started on it's greatest industrial era The possibilities opened by this new law, which was ten years getting through congress. of linking up isolated sources of electrical energy, hold out the greatest promise for industrial de- Veiopment throughout the nation.
 The development will start com paratively slowly" said Merrill But it will take on speed as it goes along. The two greatest benefits the people will derive will be to hold down the cost Of fuels and to relieve congestion of trafflc. Nothing relieves freight traffic more than to transmit electricy over wires to take the place of heavy tonnage. of fuel that has previously been hauled in it's crude state ot the place where the power is needed"
