The Home-Run Thrill.

A baseball fan writes to his favorite
paper to protest against the undeseryed
honors heaped upon the "slugger."
Why. he asks, should home-run hit
ter be lionized above fast runner,
who uses both feet and brains, or
smart pitcher, who uses both brains
and arms?
The answer is easy. The home run
is the limit of accomplishment in bat
ting. There is, there can be, nothing
bigger. When it comes with the bases
full it is catastrophe, and there is
enough of the savage in all of us to
delight in catastrophes that leave US
untouched. In some this subconscious
impulse shows itself in fomenting pol
itical revolution. Such people would
like TO see a universal smashup, the
world turned inside out, just to. see
what it would be like afterward. In
the baseball devotee the home-run with
The bases full satisfies this craving.
SO far as that particular game is con-
cerned, the home-run is the crack or
doom.-New Bedford Standard.

Honors for War Birds.

In France many pigeons have been
decorated for distinguished war serv-
ices; one with the Legion d'Honneur.
Diplomas with the citations were is
sued and kept at the headquarters OF
the French pigeon service, and because
pigeons cannot wear medals on their
breasts, special bands. with the colors
Of the decoration, were made for their
legs. A bird which will go down in
French history just as surely as Field
Marshall Foch himself is the one
which carried from Vaux to Verdun
the last message for help sent by the
Commandant Raynal before the Ger
mans captured the fort. This pigeon
flew through hail Of fire and a gas
barrage, and, wounded and gassed,
dropped dead as it deliver l its mes
sage. 1t was awarded the Legion
d'Honneur.

DEMAND For PLAYING CARDS
Manufacturers Report a Tremendous
Increase in Their Use, Mostly in
Private Families.

There has been tremendous IN
private families within the last 20
years In this country, the representa-
tive of a big American card-manufac-
turing house says in the New York
Times. 1t may seem strange, but 1t is
the private family that does most OF
the using of cards. The proportion of
playing-cards used in the big clubs is
small There is an average OF from
two to three packs of playing-cards
used per family each year in the
United States, 1t is estimated, which
IS big percentage of the total. "a
Mems clubs absorb the higher-priced
cards, which are sold at prices vary
ing, according to the club, from 81 to
S1.50 or 81 per pack. The government
tax on cards since 1917, which was
raised last year to s cents per pack,
with increased cost of production, has
practically driven the cheaper cards
out of the market, and business has
gone to the higher grades, which re-
tail at from 80 to rs cents. The In
creased playing of bridge has brought
into vogue the narrower card, which is
more graceful in shape. smaller and a
little less bulky.
The bulk of the cards sold have a
simple standard design for the back.
Among those the hest liked in the
better class are the ones with the fine
steel-engraved or 'sbanknote" back, en-
graved with the lathework design.
These come in the four colors and now
have linen-finish face.

GREAT VICTORY FOR SCIENCE
Cure Said to Be Assured for the
Worlds Greatest Scouree, the
Plague OF Leprosy.

The news from Hawaii indicates
that science has at last found the sure
and systematic way to the cure of this
worlds most appalling disease. Of the
142 former lepers who have been pa
rolled from the Kalibi hospital in the
last two years none has been sent
back.
1t is peculiar that the plague which
has troubled the world at least sixty
centuries, and probably much longer,
should eventually be controlled by one
of the oldest remedies ever used for
it. To modern science is due the dis
covery of the bacillus of leprosy, but
It's cure is accomplished with refined
chaulmoogra oil. the essence of an In
dian plum, which has been used by
lepers in the East for centuries.
Science has improved on native prac-
tice not only in the oil but in its appli-
cation.
To a world which has 100000 lep-
ers the success of the doctors ar
Kalli is heartening. China, when bet
ter days come, can set about the cure
of her 100000 stricken. India has
100000 lepers, Japan 10000. And the
United States has had big leper prob
lem which the developments in Hawaii
should soon solve. While the cases OF
leprosy in the continental United
States are few-perhaps NOT 3O0-we
have thousands of lepers in our island
possessions, particularly the Philip
pines. Now that the way is clear our
medical service can go ahead there as
1t has proceeded in Hawaii.

200 10 LEAVE FOR
 EUROPE NEXT MONTH
Foreign-born Residents Have Withdrawn Thousands
 From Local Banks.

The greatest exodus of foreign born residents of this city that has ever been witnessed will take place next month between the seventh and the thirty-first, queries at the ofnces of stea mship agencies disclose. The emigrants are principally Polish families. A conservative estimate by one of the local steamship ticket agents places the number who are to leave the city during the month of July at more than 200. This figure represents more than 20 families.
 Hundreds of thousands of dollars will have been withdrawn this year from local banks by the end of next month through the departure from this city of families returning to the old country.
 The labor situation is directly re- sponsible for the new hegtra. labor CTS having found it practically ip- possible to secure employment under present conditions. The bread win ners have found it advisable to pack up their belongings and withdraw what money they have had on de- posit in banks so that they may re- turn to the land of their nativity before they are in dire circumstances, it is explained.

AUTOMOBILE KNOCKS
 TROLLEY OFF TRACK
But Car is Able to Proceed While Motor is Laid
 Up For Repairs.

A five passenger Liberty touring car owned and driven by Anthony Brown, a Dwight street tailor, was in collision with an Arch street trolley this morning with such force as to drive the front trucks of the trolley off the track. The automobile was badly damaged
 MT. Brown was headed north on Arch street at what he thought was a safe distance from the trolley. He
 said that he did not know just ex-
 actly what happened but the first
 thing he knew the trolley and auto
 had crashed. The force of the inn pact threw the trucks of the trolley off the track and carried the auto about four feet west ahead of the trolley. When the two cars stopped
 the wheels of the trolley were ap- proximately ten inches from the rail. The left wheel on the front of the Automobile was completely demol-
 ished. the front fender torn off and the hood and radiator crushed in.
 The engine apparently was not dam
 aged.
 The trolley was a one-man car in charge of Harry Magnerson. MT. Magnerson bears the reputation ! among trolleymen of being a careful operator and this is his first accident.

 The objection raised by the bod members is based on the alled fact that moneys are to be appi priated for work not of a. permani nature, such as the grading streets.
