"As Short as II Is Violent"

"Woman's grief is like summer
storm, short as it is violent" The
foregoing quotation is credited to
Joanna Baillie, Scotch dramatist and
poet. She wrote "Plays on the Pas
sions," in which she deineates the
principal passions of the mind, each
passion being made the subject Of a
tragedy and a comedy. She died in
1851. .....

England states, except Maine, with
New Jersey thrown In for good meas
ure. Its name means "Penn's Wood
land" and was so named by King
Charles II, who granted this territory
to the Quaker, William Penn, and
named it in commemoration of PENIS
father, who had been a distinguished
admiral and on terms of peculiar
friendship and intimacy with the royal
family. This grant was made in lieu
of 916,0O0, which the king owed Adj
mlral Penn. On this basis it original
ly cost about 81 square mile. =.
Pennsylvania has assumed such an
important place among the states that
it is often called the keystone state.
This term was probably derived orig
inally because her name was carved
on the keystone of the bridge over
Rock creek, between Washington and
Georgetown. Later on it was applied
on account of the great Importance Of
the state in national elections. It's
delegation to congress totals 80, Sec
ond only in size to that from New
York, and Pennsylvania accordingly
has 80 presidential electors.
William Penn first came over to
America in 1852. The following year
he laid out the city of Philadelphia or
"Brotherly Love-" which was named
after biblical city in Asia Minor. AS
Pennsylvania was the only colony
without a seacoast, Penn obtained
from the duke of York the control Of
Delaware, and until the Revolution
these two provinces were under the
same proprietary government Quar-
rels with Maryland over boundaries
caused a formal survey to be made by
two surveyors, Mason and Dixon, and
it was this which became famous dur
ing the Civil war as the Mason and
Dixon line, the dividing mark between
the slave and the free states.

THE STORY OF

~ Constitution and
thus was made a beginning of our
present Federal government. Accord
ing to the seventh article of the Con-
stitution, however it was necessary
for nine states to ratify it before it
actually came into force. So it was
not until the following June, by which
time eight other states had accepted
the Constitution, that the United
States of America actually came into
being.
The early history Of Delaware was
varied one. 1t started in 1858 when
a small party of Swedes settled at the
mouth of the Delaware river and
called 1t New Sweden. In 1855, Peter
Stuyvesant, governor of the Dutch col
ony Of New Netherlands, annexed this
territory. But it did not long remain
Dutch, for in 1864 the English took
possession. When Pennsylvania was
decided to William Penn he desired ac-
cess to the seacOast and at his urgent
request Delaware was transferred to
PENIS proprietorship. From the be-
ginning of the eighteenth century,
however, Delaware had it's separate
legislature, and at the time of the
Revolution it became an Independent
state.
Delaware is next to the smallest
of our states, having an area of only
2370 square miles. It's participation in
presidential elections is limited to
three electors. This is arranged ac-
cording to population. Each state Is
entitled to the same number of presi-
Dental electors as it has members of
congress, so the influence of the diff
ferent states in voting for the Presi-
dent varies from Delawares three
electors to New York's 49,
AS to the derivation of the name
Delaware, this was appropriately
| given to the state from the river,
which in turn was named after the
bay and the bay was called Delaware
in honor of Lord Delaware, who was
governor Of the Virginia colony in
! 1910.

MOHAWK JUNIORS MAY
PLAY ROAMERS NEXT

The next logical sandlot scrap in
the lightweight division is due be-
tween the Mohawks' 135-pound team
and the Roamers, of northeast. the
Indians having vanquished the STAN
tons yesterday, 6 to 0, at Union
Park. The Roamers have been
anxious to take on the Indians ever
since they were beaten early in the
season by the southeast players. An
enviable reputation has been earned
by the young Indians and the Roam
ers are believed to have one of the
finest lightweight elevens in this
section. composed largely Of high
school performers.
A forty-yard march lin the first
period ended with, Bgan carrying the
ball over for the lone touchdown Of
yesterdays game, which was bitterly
fought. Monk Fraser was a star for
the Stantons although his team never
came within twenty yards of the
Indians goal.
Many fans, and especially those
In northeast, want to see the Roam
ers in action against o ;ough oppon-
ent. They haven't been scored on
IN the last ak games.

The Bambino might make a record
in the infield. He Is not clumsy in
the least, despite his size. He picks
up his heels like a two-year- old and
would be In little danger Of being
spiked. Yes, and not many players in

him around much. Baby Doll"

Brownie Is not clumsy himself, 20
there's small danger of that taking

Ruth Is one Of the greatest natural
players ever seen in the major leagues.
1t would take him but short time
to learn all the ins and outs of the
fielding end Of first base. He knows
now all there Is to learn about the
other end. He Is quick thinker, q
big asset in the infield. The Yankees
might do far worse than play the
Bambino at first base.
The official averages of the Ameri-
can League will be made public this

day, the fielding on Thursday and the
