Rob Adams is the only man in the race for City Commis- sioner who offers any prac- tical plan for relief from the oppressive burdens of the high cost of living. His plans for rigid economy i'll the op- eration of the. city's affairs amply authorize a general re- duction in the present unfair and burdensome lie en S e schedule. Then he advocates a graduating scale of license based upon the amount of business done, which is the only equitable way to license any business He also holds that the groceryman should pay only one license to sell any and everything to eat, in- stead of having to pay a sep arate license on the various articles Of food, as IS the case under the present unjust sys- tenn and which naturally adds to the prices the people have to pay sor what they eat. We have con- sidered his plans closely and are thoroughly convinced that he has the best and only practical plans to relieve the people of the unjust bur dens they now have to bear Hun dreds of merchants and housewives arc with us in this fight, and the Square Deal League is more than Satisfied with the intense interest Ell the people are taking in this vital question. Adams is truly the peo- ples' candidate,/ for he is the only one offering any real relief for the people, and that's the kind of a man tho people want. We feel sure we are in the lead and are gaining ground every minute, but we urge our friends to get busy and fight hard to the very last. Remember, this is your fight as well as ours; 9 go to it.

expected. Some little shrinking violet, who has been lost in the shuffle, usually comes through with the sensational stuff that makes his name immortal in baseball archives.
 Take the case of McNally, third -sacker for the Yankees, as an example. Fate gave Mack q job at the hot cushion, Frank Baker, the veteran home-run king, was called home. Huggins deplored his temporary loss and shot McNally into the breach. The youngstef started delivering in way that caused Huggins' ito forget Bake's loss. As a con- sequence, when Franklin returned to the team, the former champion swatsmith was left idle, and Me Nally, former sub. was given the third station at the start of the big series. He came through in great shape Wednesday.
 IT any player has ever taken the chance of pulling a clean steal of home in the big series before I can't remember 1t finland. And, that's lust what the former sub did In the fifth McNally lined out a healthy double to left field. and went over to third on Shang's sacrifice. Mays struck out, and with two down. and El- mer Miller, a weak willow wielder at bat, Mack spurted for home and registered bulls-eye. Press reports say that Snyder did not play the ball until after the Yam kee third sacker was one stride beyond the bag. If he does noth- l. ing else of note during the big tilt, the substitute has pulled something for the fans to dis cuss for the next few weeks.
 From n Giant Standpoint
 While Mack's steal of home {, stands out as the sationat part of the game from Yankee view, the Giants trotted forth a dark horse, who hung up a mark to shoot at. This gentleman was Frank Frisch. and oddly enough, he plays third base in competi- ton with McNally. Frank damned out four safe wallops for grand average of 1000 for the day.
 He has been hailed as the fast ri iai ir1a A in, the series. and he was expected to star in that line. Yet, he comes along and proves the bell COW of the hitters. In the first frame, with two down, Frisch

stepped up and got his first hit, a single past short.
 In the fourth he was first up and crashed out a single to right. Along in the half dozenth frame Frish made it possible for the Giants to stage a rally. With two down Frish hammered an extra ply clout into left which went for three bases. Young was up, but he flivvered on the job.
 Frisch didn't get another chance until the ninth, and the thousands of fans who assembled in front of The Age-Herald building and drank in the details of the game didn't believe he could make it four straight wal lops. But he did. He came through with another single to right. Something odd about Frischs batting. Two of 'em went to the freckle-factory in left and the other two went to right.
 He also lived up to his base running reputation by stealing second in the fourth.
 Amendment Is Needed
 glaring injustice in the scor- ing rules as they now stand was never more fercibly brought to light than Wednesday afternoon. In the sixth frame Peckinpaugh was on second with one down. Meusel hit long drive to left, which fell safe. Meusel romped all the way to third. and the drive. of course. sent Peckin- paugh home. The claim was made by the Giants that Si1, Rob- ert had failed to touch first, and a relay of the ball to that bag caused the umps to declare Meu- sel out. As the play stands, and by virtue of the scoring rules Meusel is credited with a time at bat. and gets nothing for his blow which sent man home.
 The lneasliest of flies, caught by outfielders. sometimes sends d man home. and the batter. al- though he has expended no ex- bra effort, and has shown no hit- ting prowess is not charged with a time at bat. Yet, here is a man who drives ball that falls safe and scores q man. not from third, but from second base, and he does not get as much credit for the blow as the fellow who dishes out an easy fly ball.

expedition which was sent into Thibet
after the British, under Sir Francis
Younghusband, had departed from
Lhassa, the fantastic Holy City. A
part of the Chinese expedition re-
turned home by way of India, dispos-
ing of it's loot to Parsee or Hindu
curiosity dealers on the way. Thus
many great rarities were for time
obtainable by connoisseurs lucky
enough to be on the spot. And of
these, Mr.. Scott, as results show, was,
thanks to his knowledge and expert
ence, one of the most '.lucky."
This Sir Francis Younghusband was
born in India and served as British
political agent in various parts of that
country. In 1903 he was appointed Brit
ish commissioner for negotiating with
China a settlement of relations be-
tween India and Thibet In 1904 he
was at the head of an expedition that
forced it's way to Lhassa.
Thibet has always been land of
mystery-and is yet, for that matter.
The region is one of the least known
places of earth. 1t is there that an
American expedition is searching for
the missing link" the earliest form OF
man. To the south of it lie the Hima-
layas and Mount Everest, as everyone
knows, is the highest peak on the
earth's surface 10000 feet.) 1t has
never been assembled and an expedition
is now making a careful and persist
ent attempt to reach it's summit.
Thibet itself appears to be the roof
of the world; it is the most elevated
country on the globe The northern
part is believed to have an average
elevation of $4,000 feet. What that
means can be imagined by anyone
who has climbed Pixies Peak in Colo
RADIO, which is 14,155 feet high. The
people are of the Mongol stock. The
population is believed to approximate
100000. There are supposed to be
$4,000 lamas These lamas are devoted
to celibacy and live in lamaseries, or
monasteries. of which there are said to
be 5000 Many of these lamaseries
are of great size, housing thousands.
China has exercised rule of sorts
over Thibet since the Eighteenth CEN
fury, more especially as to its foreign
relations. Government appears to be
largely local. For ages the chief
authority rested with the Grand Lama,
whose capital was Lhassa, city of
about $4,000 people.
In consequence of the 1904 British
expedition under Sir Francis Young
husband, at least part of the authori-
ty was transferred to the Grand Lama
of Tashi-lunpo, near -Shigatse. There
is also Chinese resident in Thibet
This British expedition forced various
concessions in trade and in the foreign
relations of the country which for a
century had been practically a closed
nation. Thibet is principally famous,
perhaps, as the seat of that form of
Buddhism known as Lamaism.

is an instance of this kind of signiti-
canoe.
The saint wears mitre topped with
vulture's feather. AS the vulture Is
the biggest and farthest fiier, the
feather here indicates that the doc
trine of this "guru" is the most asplr-
ing, and his knowledge the most noble
and spiritual.
In his right hand he holds 'dorje"
or thunderbolt, implying divine pro-
lection and eternal life.
His left hand grasps the skull bowl
containing blood or 'amita," C"sweet
dew" the ambrosial food of super
natural beings), signifying blessings.
Resting lightly across his breast
and against his left shoulder, leans
trident, its three points signifying that
he has overcome the three vices, Lust,
Anger and Sloth. The image is finely
wrought in copper, and the face is
coated with pure gold, highly bur-
niShed.
The shrine is flanked on each side
by a great brass sacred lamp of eX-
quisite workmanship. One of these
is the finest Mr.. Scott has ever seen.
On the steps leading to the altar
are number Of brass dog-like or lion
like figures, deliberately designed and
inscribed. These are the guardians of
the temple.
Stretched on the steps is a Ming
prayer-mat at least 400 years old.
The side walls are hung with beauti-
full banners in the sacred colors and
symbols.
On a carved stool set with turquoise
and coral lies holy book reciting in
gold letters on dark blue parchment
the praises Of Buddha.
And most precious of all, spread be-
fore the altar, is one of the three Thi-
betan carpets known to eXist-all of
them being at present in Mr.. SCOTS
pets were once woven in Thibet But
for many years none has been known
to be in existence. When, however,
the first Sikh Maharajah, Golab Singh
was installed over Kashmir, tribute
was sent to him from Thibet, and
among the gifts were three beautiful
carpets, all of the same size and of
similar design. For the best part of
100 years these lay in the palace Tosha
Khana or storehouse in Kashmir. Re
Gently they were sold at public auction
in Srinagar, where Mr.. Scott pur-
chased one and later obtained the 9TH
ers from two Indian. mobiles who had
secured them at the auction.
The carpets, like the Thibetan pray
er-mats, show Chinese taste blended
with Thibetan symbolism, and were
doubtless made in Thibet by Chinese
weavers. Just as the carpets and mats
show the influence of China, a large
proportion of Thibetan metal-work
strongly reflects Indian culture, as
from time immemorial the Newaris. or
mechanics of Nepal, in India, have
worked in metal for the Thibetans.
Laid on the shrine as votive offer
ings are many little images, some of
gold inlaid with turquoise and lapis
laZuli. In some cases, these are
images of Krishna, probably left by
Hindus who, without worshiping
Buddha, reverence him and are willing
to make gifts to his temples.
Most of these objects were looted
from Thibetan temples by the Chinese

Monarch Endured Long.

The most curious contract ever en-
tered into by an operate star was
surely that Of Farinelli, who, about
the year 1874, was deriving an income
of $4,000 per annum. The singer af-
forwards visited Spain, where the
king, Philip V, was suffering from
mental depression, from which moth
ing aroused him until the advent of
Farinelli. The queen was so delight
ed to see her royal spouse once more
interested in anything, that she en-
gagged Farinelli at a salary Of f2,000 to
remain in Madrid. This he did, sing
ing the same four songs to the king
every night for ten years. Eventually
Phillip succumbed, but he must have
been patient monarch.
