DAILY Tells How
ToPick Batters
(written Especially for TIE Beys
and Girls Herald By
Tom DAILY.


Catcher of the Chicago Cubs.
Sometimes you can tell what
kind of a ball means trouble for
q batter by watching the way
he "steps"-and sometimes you
can't II he steps in to the ball
rs II crosses the plate he is
hard one to pitch to. II he steps
in too soon. q slow ball II
usually a great source of worry
to him. But II he steps In too
late we try a fast ball on him
Then a batter may spike" or
step away from the ball. A
pitch to the outside spells trou-
BILE for his kind
When we see that q batter
takes a heavy swing the pitcher
mixes the balls pretty we'll. The
heavy swinger usually is weak
on slow balls. The batter with
q short, choppy swing can cause
q lot of trouble. and when he
takes the plate we just trust to
our fielders.
A batter's grip often tells how
dangerous he is. work on the
assumption that the one who
holds his bat near the end of
the handle won't smash out q
very long one, and that he is
weak on inside balls. But when
. man who chokes his bat steps
up to the plate you've got some
work to do to fool him Gem
orally he is the dangerous one
Of the two kinds.
But sometimes all my dope"
on sizing up, a batter goes
wrong and so I've concluded that
about the best way Is to really
know a batter and his weak
nesses.

PA. r. r. EXCURSION FOR
DELAWARE VALLEY

LAMBERTVILLE - Local boosters
who have long believed that the
scenery of the Delaware Valley was
worth looking at are much interested
in the move of the Pennsylvaia Rail
road, which will run an excursion
from Philadelphia up this valley over
the Belvidere Delaware Railroad as
far as Belvidere on Sunday, March 6.
If crowd can be secured now it
will be possible to carry several train
loads in the summer time when the
country is really at it's best.
1t has long been thought that if
the railroad company would make a
special rate for points as far as
Delaware Water Gap and Stroudsburg
on Sundays many people would visit
those places who have not heretofore
done so, but it has been possible in
the past to go to Washington, D. c.,
and return on an excursion more
cheaply than to make the return trip
to Stroudsburg.

WOMEN-AS WIVES
The Woman Who Doesn't Dress Up

She is a complacent little woman
with a good disposition, an over ample
form and a liking for comfort-as
represented by shapeless one-piece
dresses and shoes that flop. Now, the
man she marries some fifteen years
ago is a dapper, athletic-goes in for
Palm Beaches in summer, silR socks
and good looking ties. She says he
is just working night and day of late
rarely gets home for dinner and
never goes anywhere. And we sup
pose she ought to know. But the thing
we long to tell that unattractive look
ing little woman is that sooner or later
her husband is going to compare her
with the woman he THOUGHT he was
getting when he married her, and the
comparison is going to leave her COM
pletely surrounded by COMFORT, but
minus a husband If man wants a
car ne decides upon the general quail
fications which appeal to him as essen
tial in a car. Then he carefully looks
over the cars possessing those quail
fcatiOns. Finally he narrows down
his choice to ONE. He takes that car
because it represents all the things
he admires in ear. He takes 1t
home. And he finds it a little win
ner and he's sold on that car for life.
BUT if he should attempt to get his
purchase home, find it not as repre-
sented, a disappointment and a bad
buy, he hauls it back to the agent and
says, keep it want the sort of car
asked for-not this"
Now John goes accounting. He
knows what he wants-a nice trlg,
neat little wife-not necessarily glOrl-
ously beautifed-but ATTRACTIVE.
She must be that-and he comes upon
Miranda all perked up and wailing for
a beau-and noting the general seduc-
tiveness of every trick and grace he
picks Miranda.
Now, what right has Miranda to
stall? And can you expect the man
who demands a square deal from an
engine to be any less exasting in his
expectations when the deal concerns
wife? Man expects woman to be a
thinking individual, an intelligent and
conscientious being-sufficiently intel
ligent and conscientious to keep on
of stalling half ways
as if dead. So when Miranda takes
to COMFORT-well, John can't very
well send her back. But he begins to
work day and night and never spends
a moment in his home if he can help
it. John doesn't like shoes that flop.
And so the complacent little woman
lives to learn that there's more in life
than comfort-and some things once
lost are hard to find again-so, if you
are a wife-don't stall but keep on
up and keep John sold
for LIFE.

WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES


A recent despatch from Washington
reports that 100000 contributed by
generous Americans for the relief Of
starving China is being expended on
roadway construction around Shan
tung. This information was received
by the Z. S. Commerce Department
from Julean Arnold, one of its agents
in the East.
Efforts are being made by this de-
partment, and also by the American
Red Cross, to ascertain if this is true,
and that the money contributed for re-
lief work is being diverted into other
channels.
This report dovetails with the more
recent report that the Relief Commits
sion had refused to purchase food sup
plies for the Chinese from American
farmers.
The Pacific Rice Growers Associa-
ton has three and one-half million
bags of rice in the Sacramento Valley
for which there is no home market.
The California Legislature passed
resolution demanding that all funds
raised in America for foreign relief
be spent in America.
When the representative of the
1lHEI lCdIl ldi EllNiS elp ~ bstAAlNNA LA4Nii4
bers of the Relief Commission ne was
told that transportation problems pre-
vented California rice from being
bought 1t was pointed out that on
the mud flats in San Francisco barber
there We're fifteen ships of the Ship
ping Board which are being allowed
to rot in idleness, and that these could
be used for transportation to China.
And that surely the Chinese Govern
ment would be willing to transport the
rice to the famine territory.
But thereupon the members Of the
Relief Commission fell back on the
excuse that there was plenty Of cheap
food in Asia and that cur money would
go farther over there if sent to and
spent in Japan
IF FOOD is PLENTIF I'll IN ASIA
WHY COME TO AMERICA BEG
GING FUNDS FOR STARVING CHI
NESE?
There is suspicion attached to such
conduct, and the American public IS
not going to be long to wake up to-
the fact that they are being made
lot of suckers by scheming foreign /
ers, who are laughing up their sleeves |
at the gulHbility Of the Americans.
In the meantime we are confronted /
with the reports from reliable sources
that money already sent over to the /
extent of FIVE HUNDRED THOU |
SAND DOLLARS is being spent on
Chinese roads.
A man can be blind, deaf and dumb |
and half witted and still see that che
streets of Lambertville need pavings. |
without our funds being taken away
and sent to the Chinese to use on their /
roads.

FARM AND
HOME FACTS

The men who say at can't be

Of the way by the men who are do

Five rules for success in dairy work:
/. Buy pure-bred sire and a few
good cows, then get to work and i'm
prove herd by breeding.
,. Feed palatable and balanced
ration.
3. Keep herd free from disease
rigid sanitation and the introduction
of few new animals will help.
4 For good milk flow keep cows
quiet and satisfied.
>. Go after business hard. Don't

A few drops of kerosene on the
pruning saw will remove the sawdust
and keep it from caking in the teeth.
If you demolish the woodpile now,
It's a pretty safe guess that you won't
have to exercise on it before breakfast
next July.
The place to call halt on scrubbing
IS when it comes to eggs. Washing
opens the pores Of the shells and gives
the germs a better chance to get in
