Batters' Mean Sticks This Year
Threaten Mace Records of Past

the big league uniforms, 69-more
than ha'f-batted 800 or more
Five of the 16 big league clubs hit
for an average better than 500. The
Phillics lead with .33S, Indians second
with 1873, and the Obs were third
with 335.
The National League hit within
small fraction of 800 and the Amer
lean cracked for .29S.
The National aggregation averaged
nearly II hits to the game and the
Americans ten.
In that single week the heavy ar
tlllery work was as follows:
American. National
Doubles ............. 80 81
Triples ............. SO As
f1oInerS .............. ~ 10
The fans who hungered for hits
hits-and more hits-certainiy must
be satisfied now
How come this fusillale?
Well, first of all, it's natural for
batters to get off to flying start in
the early weeks. That's because pitch
ers round into form slowly Their
fippers, despite strenuous treatment
Under Southern skies. do not thaw out
until we'll along in May. Meanwhile
the batters, with their orbs fand
muscles attuned gather in a harvest Of
SafetieS
But this season the boys-especially
those in the National League-have hit
at more furious springtime clip than
ever before. The reason for that prob
ably is that both circuits now are
JSiy ho all L.,
which sails over the hills and far away
every time its bumped.
Home Runs Growing.
The ball used in the American in
1920 had a curious trick of travelling
faster and farther than any ball did
before. Home runs became the rule,
rather than the soul-stirring excep-
ton. And, as a result the fans fairly
fought their way into American
League parks.
For who doesn't like to see those
!! long distance drives
While the American was having an
| orgy of homers, the National WASH t
doing anything Of the sort It's
patrons had to be content with an
! occasional homer. Which didn't con
tend 'em at all. And, so the folks
| who make the ball for the Nationals
became a trifle ''smarted upland
Fingered up the 1921 ball to a point
where it equals the American g1obule
| in flying power.
| And so everything is all even again
except the tempers Of the pitchers
who used to begrudge the opposition
five hits daily-and row are yield;n g
q dozen.

This week | am going to reprint
from General Federation News" an
article by Mrs, John D. Sherman,
Chairman Of the Department Of APP
piled Education
applied Education, as a General
Federation title seems to be 50 little
understood that definition, from our
view point, is justified. The defina-
ton is found in the purpose Of the
Department.
"This purpose in brief, is to make
the education Of public school chill
dren more practical. In this 1921
civilization, practical" can not be
exactly defined Nevertheless, ZAP
piled Education" includes value, as
contrasted with academic teaching
by schedule.
1t must be real education, Of
practical value, as contrasted with
academic teaching by schedule.
1T must give the pupil facts and
training that will be always useful.
1T must not be limited to children
of school age, but when needed, ex-
tended to grown ups.
1T must deal with the realities of
the environment of the individual.
"It must make clear the homely
truths of everydays life.
1T must concern its self with the
nature and working Of the physical
world around us.
st must give full value to the
educational, economics and spiritual
worth of Natures methods and pro-
cesses; and it must be education that
results in tangible, vital force in
the consciousness of the individual,
giving power to develop that cons
ciousness into principle and habits
that will control the life of the indi-
vidual and the community.
1T must plan to extend activities
of the Department Of Applied Educa-
ton by means of open County Con-
ferences to be followed by Commun-
ity Cooperation on a group basis.
Open County Conferences.
The aim Of the Open County Con-
ference is to bring together the wom-

the common good and of the ways
in which the Federation may be Of

SHALL AMERICA
ESTABLISH own
DYE INDUSTRY

Shall America make her own dyes
or be entirely dependent for them
upon Germany?
Before the war Germany control
led the dye-making industry of the
world. Even after war had begun
it will be recalled Capt. Koenig, OF
the German submarine "Deutsch-
land" bobbed up in Baltimore one
Sunday morning with his submarine
filled with German dyes which Am
erican manufacturers eagerly snap
ped up.
But Germany could not keep this
up, and in dire necessity for "coI-
ors," American businessmen had
American chemists set their scienti-
fc heads to work out formulas for
making dyes at home. Prior to that
we were dependent on Germany for
our dyes, although, we furnished the
coal tar out OF which they were
made. Thus necessity, the mother
of invention, became the mother Of
the American dyes industry.
Before that there had been no
chance to overcome the powerful
Deutsche nteressengemeinsc
backed by the German government
itself and abetted by smooth-tongued
German diplomats the world over.
Indeed America was made to believe
that the United States could not
make dyes. Some people still be-
lieve that. And there Is constant
German propaganda going out even
now supporting stories that Amer
lean dyes are not fast" that fla
brics dyed with American colors
fade" etc, Some INSCRIPTIONS
merchants and manufacturers have
taken advantage of this and when
the woman or man PURCHASERS
ually the woman-brings back ia
brio that has faded they say, eve
are sorry, but, madam, you know
you cannot depend on those Ameri-
can dyes"
The facts are, according to Amer
lean chemists, that American colors
are just as fast as any made in
Germany" One Of the highest ere
dts to American science and in
dustry working together, scientists
say, issthat in four or five years the
Americans have built up a dye in
dustry that Is producing some of the
best colors to be had in the world,
and this in the face of the fiercest
opposition, for Germany will do al
most anything rather than lose her
domination of the dye industry.

Press Congress News.

Honolulu, Hawaii, Howard d.
Case.-Thrills occasioned by riding
the surf in outrigger canoes or on
native surf boards, or standing on
the rim of the continuously active
volcano of Kilauea and gazing down
into the roaring, tossing sea of mol
ten lava, have an active rival in the
keen excitement that accompanies
the hunting of the shark in the WA
tiers outside the coral reef that en-
circles the island of Oahu.
Newspaper men and women who
are coming to Honolulu in October
as, delegates to the Press Congress
of the World will find that shark
hunting goes hand in hand with
other sports, and, although intense
ly exciting, is in no way dangerous.
The shark hunters go to sea In a
launch or sampan which tows a
dead white horse. When the fishing
grounds are reached, the boat be-
gins to circle about, and soon the
fins OF sharks may be seen cutting
through the water
If one is an expert, he may har-
poon a shark as it turns over to
strike, or he may try his luck with
a high-powered rife. The shark is
furious fighter and, once harpooned
or caught with hook and line, dis
plays amazing strength. But he
finally tires and is gradually hauled
aboard and then dispatched.
There are few Hawaiians living
today who care to meet a shark in
the open water and fight him as his
ancestors did In the olden days a
Hawaiian armed himself with a
hard, wooden double-pointed javelin
about IS inches long, and with the
center portion large enough to per-
NIT a good grip. He then let him
self down into the wafer AS the
shark approached and turned over
to strike, its great jaws open to
their full width, the Hawaiian, with
a quick movement, thrust the 1ave-
lin between the jaws, one point pen
etrating the roof OF the mouth and
the other the lower jaw, The shark
thus unable to clase his mouth, ana
helpless, was either speared or all
lowed to swim away as the Hawaiian
chose.
There were some daring fisher
men who would attack shark sin
gle-handed, armed only with a short
dagger or spear. and depending upon
his agility in the water to avoid the
monster until the time came to
strike.
