PLAY BALL.
Preparations for the Diamond War
at Summer School.

(From B. U. News)
"Play BALI"
The man in the box curls up like
tickled armadillo and then in a
thin white streak the ball speeds
toward the batter.
Crack
Instantly the entire diamond
leaps into action, for the bases are
full. The crowd goes wild.
All of which is, in brief, a bit of
life as they plan it for the Ellis
worth, Me-, summer school this
summer No wonder the idea is
popular.
Baseball was unquestionably the
great American sport at Ellsworth
last summer. And it promises to be
even more the center of things
when the B. U. men reconvene
where the sky is clear and blue, and
the life-giving tang of forest balsam
and sea salt invigorates and brings
the glow of youth to the cheeks of
all who pass that way.
Athletics will form a big part of
the student activities at Ellsworth
this summer, and, naturally, the
national game will reign pre-emi-
nent. A great deal of interest and
rivalry was aroused last year among
the town, school and ''inter-
dormitory" teams.
AS result of the start gained
last year, baseball prospects for the
coming season are ruddy. Prac-
tically all of the men who made last
years season a success will return
to Ellsworth, and there will be a
galaxy of new stars to add to the
Hancock county diamond firma-
ment.
Then there are the plans for the
'inter-dormitory" league. Famous
in last summers circuit was, for in
the "Macomber Estate" aggregation
and others They were made up
of the men living in the various
houses throughout the village.
Rivalry was present in the super
lative.
And the significant fact is that
these men will, with few exceptions,
probably all return for the diamond
war this coming summer. The
championship of the inter
dormitory league, left unsettled last
year when the final game was called
on account of darkness, must be de-
cided say the Ellsworth summer
school boys.
And all hands are preparing for
the fray!

SELECTMEN'S FIRE DUTIES.
Law Court Sustains Hutchins-
PenObscOt Verdict.


A very interesting and timely re-
script from the Maine law court has
Just been received by Clerk of
Courts Sweet. 1t is a decision in
the case of Joseph M. Hutchins VS..
Inhabitants of Penobscot. 1t de-
cides that in the cases of ravaging
forest fires the selectmen having
knowledge or facts leading to
knowledge must take action to stop
the fires or the town will be held
liable. He must foresee the po-
tentiality of fire left smouldering;
must foreshadow the probable re-
suit of its flaming up; must guard
against the danger it may do.
The case was heard before JUS
tce Deasy in June last, and judg-
ment given for the plaintiff for
5000. The defendants filed eXcep
lions.
The rescript by Justice Dunn fol-
lows:
Under the Revised Statutes. chap
ter 8. section 20. which must be held
to relate only to fires in the woods
when generally ravaging property or
threatening havoc-and this regard
design or by accident-dscovery of
the existence of such fire by one of
the selectmen is equivalent to dis
coVery by all the selectmen within
the same jurisdiction.
The discovery of which the statute
speaks is not limited to direct dis
covery, The discovery there spoken
of means when selectman, as a
forest fire warden, shall have found
out, either by evidence or by evil
dental facts leading to actual
knowledge on his part, that there is a
ravaging or threatening forest fire;
when he knows, or, what in law and
ought to know, of the existence of
that kind of a fre,-negligence on his
part may impose liability upon his
town.
The justice who tried this case
found that one of the wardens in the
defendant town had actual knowledge
of the fire. He further found that
that warden was guilty of negligence
in not foreseeing to reasonable de-
gree the potentiality of the fire that
he left smoudering; in not fore
shadowing a probable result of it's
flashing up; in not reasonably guard
ing against the danger it could do.
The decision of the justice finally set
tied the facts. His rulings of law
We're faultless.
Exceptions overruled

have been cast away. but reading
has always maintained its suprem-
acy. That there is something wrong
in the teaching Of reading would
seem to be indicated. Educators, in
fact. recognize this; they do not lay
the blame upon the Indifference of
either the teacher or the pupil, but
rather upon the method by which
the subject Is taught.
Miss BURGESS believes that the
teaching Of reading could be made
more effective If educators were able
to measure the actual results Sc
cured and If they could determine
what influence was preventing chill
dren from becoming good readers
and how that influence could be
overcome. The purpose apparently
is to make reading stick so securely
in the mind OF the youth that as he
grows up he will find it such an in
terest in his life that he cannot
forget it. If this could be accom-
rlished 1t would bring about great
change in the literacy and illiteracy
charts Of this country.

Lloyd George "Dressy."
lie Has Il New Distinction Among
British Statesmen.
Prom the Manchester Guardion.


In reference to certain criticisms or
the immaculate clothes worn by Mr..
Lloyd George In the Carnarvon statue
Sir w. Goscombe John has uttered the
great sentiment that he regards Mr..
Lloyd George as quite dressy man"
The tribute is one that should give the
Premier a new distinction among our
statesmen, for not very many of them
would take high rank in that respect.
Mrs. Gladstone, as is well known, did
her best by the G. o. NJ, but circunl-
stances were sometimes too much for
her. That elusive tie of his became
part of Parliamentary history. his gray
frock coat had not always the perfect
fall, and Granville testified TO having
met him in Regent street with his top
pcr" stuck on back to front. Lord Sails
bury was another Premier who could not
be called dressy: there Is little
thunbnail sketch Of him going down to
Hatfield. where ne was mot by an ex-
ceedingly smart little tiger" The old.
absent looking, carelessly dressed giant
stumbled out, a strange contrast to his
iaunty henchman, who stood by touch
,g his hat"
The eighth Duke OF Devonehire was
notorious for the badness OF his hats,
while his clothes-those OF "seedy
saiior"-shocked the immaculate w. H.
Smith at Homburg. Mr.. Balfour Is never
dressy, though he does not always
nppcar In the famous combination OF
gray flannel trousers, brown shoes and
black frock coat. W. IL. Forster's
trousers are preserved TO posterity In
notorious statue
Dizzy was odd rather than dressy,
and Mr.. Churchill might sometimes be
called almost slovenly. Sir Eric Geddes
is clothed rather than dressed. and Lord
Curzon. Lord Crewc and Mr.. Chamber
lain hardly atone for the deficiencies OF
most modern statesmen.

The estimated increase in produc.
tion is only 3,000,0 900 tons, compared
with an increase of the worlds po.
tential demand from SO,00O,0O0 to
00,000,o00 tons, a growth Of 100000
900 tons, or 25 per cent. The fore
going figures for Americas steel ex.
port capacity are very likely too
small. But even If they prove to be
equal to the combined figures for
England and Germany, the total ex-
ports Of steel for the three countries
would be only 14,000.O00 tons, an
increase of merely 2.760,00 tons, and
this would be inadequate to meet
the maximum demand, which would
call for total exports of steel amount.
ing to 31,000,O0O tons, or an increase
OF 20,000,000 tons more than in 1913,
and nearly double the export capac-
ity. plus the increased production Of
the three countries named.
But maximum demand in peace
times is much rarer thing than
capacity production in the worlds
steel industry.
