Across the seas in the countries of Eastern and Central Europe, 3,5OO,OOO children are looking to America to keep them alive until the next harvest. There is no food to be had except that shipped to them by the European Re lief Council of which Herbert Hoover is the chairman.
 In order to guarantee these little lives against starvation and disease, MT. Hoover has asked the public to buy "Save-a-ife Certificates" cost ing. $1O each, or as much as the pur- chaser would like to give. That small sum will ward of famine until this years crops have been garnered and distributed, and economic conditions are again normal in Poland, Esthonia, Lithuania, Czecho-Slovakia and Aus eria,

Birds such as the catbfri and other perching species, which have altriclal young needing care in the nest for some time. do not incubate their eggs as long as those like the shOrebirds and ducks which have precociaI young. says the American Forestry Magazine. The eggs of most common small birds require incubation for from ten days to two weeks. Those of the fowl-like birds such as the ruffed grouse about three weeks, those of the ducks about four weeks, and the eggs of the emeu, a large Ostrich-Iike bird of Australia, must be incUbated for about ten
 weeks.

OF States ATTORNEY Robert r. Grove.
IL is expected that a new grand jury
investigation of Rothstein's alleged
connection with the polt to fix the
famous series will be launched.
Trial of the indicted ball players
and gamblers was believed apprecia-
bly, nearer the close today as the
result of the decree of Judge Hugo
M. Friend admitting as evidence the
confessions of Jackson, Cicotte and
williams. SO important a victory
for the State is this considered that
attorneys for the prosecution today
were revamping their plans and II
appeared likely that but few more
witnesses for the State would be
called.
The confessions were to be read
into the records of the trial today.
An early end to the trial Is not In
sight, however, despite the apparent
nearness of the completion Of the
States case. The defense has Indi.
Gated that II will offer many Wit

Billy Klien's high diving stunt Is
undoubtedly one of the most spec.

visiting Washington has ever fea-
tured. The whip and the carousel

Meanwhile, the worlds champions
are still favored to repeat this season.
They are playing like well-oiled piece
OF machinery, have the necessary re-
serve strength in all departments, and
the correct morale of winner. They
VIII not go down without the hardest
kind of a battle.
Last year, just when the Indians
were wavering in the heat of the race.
Walter Mails joined the team and pro-
ceeded to win game after game. He
put new life into the Indians and the
Indians pitching staff. The result
was a pennant triumph.
This year Allan Sothoron, who was
becoming football In the league, is
turning the same trick. He is pitch.
ing perfect ball for the champions.
He looked as good against the Griffs
and Yankees as he ever did in his life,
and he used to be considered one of
the leading half dozen Fingers in this
circuit. He may provide the Indians
with Just that needed pitching class
that brings victory.
No Joke Here.
There is an amusing angle to this
Sothoron case. though 1t can hardly
be termed a joke here. When waivers
were asked on Sothoron by the St.
Louis Browns, President Griffith
asked few of his players what they
thought of him.
Hes lucky to be in the league and
ne won't be long" replied one Of the
regulars.
Sothoron went to Boston. He fail.
% to get going with the Red Sox,
the Griffs taking couple of falls
out OF him. Hughey Duffy let him
go again and the Washington club
said nothing. iris Speaker, think
Ing he might make something out of
the once great pitcher, took him at
the waiver price.
After working hard to get into con-
dition, Sothoron began pitching high
class ball and the same Washington
player who had predicted failure
for him a few weeks before never
hit ball out of the infield against
him on the trip ending Sunday
Would Have Helped.
1t goes without saying that Soth-
oron, pitching as he is now pitch
ing for the Indians, would have
been a decided help to the Washing
ton club. If anything, the tiriffs
are sadly in need of a right hand
pitcher who can go nine innings.
They have a number Of oneinning
and three-inning performers, but
Walter Johnson is the only one able
to go the distance.
The Griffs have eighteen games
to play at home before going away
again, four each with the Western
clubs and two with the Boston Red
Sox. II they happen to pull them
selves together and hit 8 winning
streak, they will make things inter-
esting, even If they are out of the
flag hunt. Today they are exactly
eleven and a half games behind the
Yankees, too far to bother the New
Workers. any.
Pat Charity will remain out Of the
lineup for several days yet His IN
fected heel is slow to mend and his
physician advises against his hurrying
back into uniform. Val Picinich, who
developed into a dangerous clouter in
the pinches on the recent Western trip,
will continue to shoulder the bulk OF
the backstopping, with Dick Torres
lowering around for extra duty.
The Griffmen, after hot, dusty ride,
arrived home last evening and scat
tered. But they will be together again
this morning, one or two being ordered
out early for preliminary work.
