Leander plunged them over in one,

scoring until the sixth inning, when
Power, first man up, struck safe to

striking safe to first. Martin found
Leander for fly to right field which
was caught by Right, who threw the
ball to Neumann OH second, who in
turn threw it home, getting Power
a few feet from the home plate. Zim-

An impairment Demand.

An 1mpertinent Demand. :
> Now it's the presidential cigarette
that must go! Charles M. Fillmore,
general secretary Of the No-Tobacco
league of America, which organization
is in session at Winona Lake, Ind,
demands it. President Harding is an
oblging person, but it is not likely he
will abondon the. cigarette. at the be-
hest Of such an organization, or, in
deed at the behest of any organization.
Those organizations to which he
might be expected to give some heed
because Of their standing in the coun-
try would never think of dipping so
far into the presidents affairs. 1t is
only such meddling voluntary groups
as the No-Tobacco league that has the
effrontery to make such demand.
Of course, some men and women
with more money than judgment are
financing the No-Tobacco league. Like
all such organizations, somebody has
to put up the funds wherewith to make
the mare GO. If the president were to
lay aside the cigarette it would i'm
mediately be hailed as a great victory
for the cause and direct acquiescence
with the demand of the No-Tobacco
league. 1t has never been indicated
that the president is Unfortunately fond
Of cigarettes, but, what if he were =?
It is his concern, and his alone.
Ulysses S. Grant was a prodigious
smoker. He found much satisfaction
in his cigar during the trying and
bloody months Of the Wilderness cam
paign in the last year of the war. A
lieutenant generals commission had
been handed him by President Lincoln.
Grant knew his command in the Pen
insula campaign was the opportunity
Of his life; Forts Henry and Donel-
son, Port Hudson and Vicksburg would
pale into insignifcance if he failed
In his cigar he found solace from the
stress and tension of day fighting and
night fghting.' Who will say that
Grants cigar made him less effective ?
Who will say that Harding's cigarette
makes him less effective, less resili-
ent?
The No-Tobacco league makes no
such charge. It rises to the height OF
alleging that tobacco affects mems
morals. In all his long years of
political campaigning never has there
been a suspicion of those of Warren
Gamaliel Harding. Was there ever
any about Grants?
1t isn't because the No-Tobacco
league has any expectation that Presi.
dent Harding will eschew the cigarette
because the long benchers at Winona
Lake ask 1.-THE league demands the
exclusion of the cigarette from the
white house because the president is
shining light, and such organizations
as the No-Tobacco league aim in the
presidents direction because they cali

THE CRADLE-ROCKINC
FORM OF WORSHIP AT CHRIST.
MAS IN GERMANY.
Resulted in the Church Later Canine
Much Stronger Hold on the
People.

T~ THROUGHOUT Germany, and also
W Italy and France there has been
for some time widespread use
of the Crib 1t is now universally
diffused in the Roman church. Cribs
are the delight of children who through
the season of Christmas and Epiph-
any wander into the churches at
all times of the day to gaze wide eyed
on the lifelike scene and offer q
prayer to their Little Brother" as
they call the Christ child. The use
of the Crib" however, is by no means
confined to churches. 1t is common
in many homes both Catholic and
Protestant.
There grew up in Germany. about
the Fourteenth century, the ex-
tremely popular Christmas custom of
cradle-rockiug, response to the peo-
pies need of a lifelike and homely
presentation of Christianity. The crib
became a cradle tina, could be rocked
and the worshipers We're thus able to
express in physical action their devo-
tion to the newborn babe. The cradle
rocking seems to have been done at
first by the priests, who impersonate,l
the Virgin aud st. Joseph and sang a
duet. The people and the choir took
part in the singing. In time dancing,
which was natural accompaniment
10 festive song to the early Germans,
became common around the cradle.
Eventually the people were allowed to
rock the cradle with their own hands.
1t was by appeals like this to the
homely instincts of the le.a!e that the
church was able to gain real hold
over them, so that during the Eff
teehth Sixteenth and Seventeenth
centuries Christianity became a genu-
inely popular religion in Germany. DR..
Andred Tile, well-known Christmas
historian, in an article on Christmas In
Germany, makes statement that Is
most interesting.
In the dancing and jubllation
around the cradle" he writes, "the
religion Of the cross, however much
1t might In its inmost character be OBJ
posed to the nat1re Of the German
people was felt no longer as
something alien. 1t had become nat
uralized but had lost in the process
Its very core. The preparation for
life after death which was its Alpha
and Omega, had passed into the back
ground. 1t was not Joy at the prom.
Used redemption that expressed IT,
self in the dance around the cradle;
for the German has never learned to
feel himself utterly vile and sinful;

MYSTERY PUZZLE TO SCIENCE
Earth Cooled OF During Long Periods
When Sun, Earth and Other
Planets Passed Through
Region of Dust Clouds.

New York.-A new theory relating
to one of the greatest mysteries about
the past of the earth has been offered
by DR.. Harlow Shapley, the measurer
of the universe whose appointment as
director Of the Harvard observatory
was announced recently.
This mystery concerns the changes
of climate over millions Of years,
which at one time caused the polar ice
cap to extend as far south as New
York and at other times warmed the
arctic region so thoroughly that the
animals and vegetation of the temper
ate zone could live there, as shown by
fossil remains in that region.
The earth has been cooled off during
long periods, according to this theory
when the sun, the earth and the other
planets were passing through regions
of space filed with clouds of dust or
dark, nebulous material. which cut off
enough of the suns heat to freeze
most of the globe. AT other times,
apparently the solar system moved

Dog Receh es Snakes
Fangs 70 Protect Lad

Hayward. Ca1.-A new niche
has been set aside In the hall of
fame of dogdom for Joan Of Arc,
an Airedale dog owned by Frank
Belval Of Hayward.
Belval, his thirteen-year-old
son, Robert, and the dog set out
on a hiking trip from the Bolinas
valley ranch one Sunday after
noon. At sharp turn II. the
trail Belvel heard the warning
signal of a coiled rattlesnake.
He jumped aside barely In tive.
Before he could seize his son the
snake struck. But the faithful
dog, seemingly sensing the dan
ger, met the snake in mida r, re-
eeivlng its poisonous fangs upon
the lips. One shake and the dog
had killed the RATHER.
According to Belvel, the snake
possessed nine rattles and was
almost yard long. First aid
applied to the wounded dog
saved its life.
