Admiral VIM. B. Caperton, late COM
mander in chief of the Pacific fleet, who
retired recently from active duty, had an
unusual career. In the World war Ad-
miral Caperton had the difficult task, re-
curing the greatest naval skill and diplo-
matte tact, of patroling the Pacific waters
and of having close relations with the
governments of South and Central Amer
lea. Since his graduation from the United
States naval academy, in 1875, he has
seen active service in all waters, was in
Cuban waters during the Spanish-Ameri
can war, and had much service in Latin
America in the subsequent revolutions, in
Guiding the Mexican disturbance.-Ex.

BASEBALL

Last Saturdays ball game between the
American Express Company's ball tossers
from St. Paul and the locals, turned out
to be an old fashioned slugging match,
with the home team having the best end
of the encounter. By them walloping
out two home runs three three-baggers,
two doubles and nine singles, that were
aided along with six errors, they had no
trouble at all in coming out victorious by
count of II to 7, in a seven inning game.
Both teams were compelled, early in the
game, to rush relief pitchers to the rescue
with the hopes of stemming the avalanche
of hitting The locals relief proved to be
master of the situation, while the visitors
recruit met with very poor success. The
offerings he produced were pounded to all

he stated, 81 am Untitled to one for could
easily have beat the first baseman to the
bag" He was informed that he got to
first on a felders choice. Now to put an
end to such preliminary discussions as
these it is well and good for each in
dividual so involved should post them
selves on what constitutes base hit. The
book of rules in section four, rule IS,
says: "When a fielder after handling a
batted ball, elects to try to retire base
runner instead of the batter, the play is
known as felder's choice In case the
runner is retired, the batter will be charged
with time at bat, and no hit, providing
he swung at the ball." Just because there
is no distinction made in regard to two
or more assists it may require to put out
a runner on felder's choice, does not
eliminate the fact that it is "felder's
choice play" and must be regarded as
such, regardless as to whom the batter
may be.

WOMEN EXCEED MEN

There are more women in industry in
Japan than there are men, according to a
statement recently made by the War Work
Council of the Young Women's Christian
Association.
The World war brought $4,000 women
and girls into the daily grind of industry
according to this statement; $4,000 of them
little girls under fifteen years of age who
work twelve hours at a wage of ten to
twenty cents a day, that the world may
have silk dresses and munitions.
In Tokyo alone, city of two and one
half million people, there are 100000
women employed in sixty-two industries
and businesses varying from work as
telephone operators, clerks, stenographers
and bookkeepers to work in silk and other
sorts of factories and domestic work.
Each year thousands of these women go
back to their homes in the country, broken
in health and victims of tuberculosis be-
cause of the poor conditions under which
they work and live. They are housed in
dormitories in the factory compound.
These dormitories are frequently unsani-
tary. The girls work long hours, have
no recreation and on finishing their long
day go Immediately to bed, oftentimes a
bed which a girl who works at night has
been sleeping in all day.
AS part of its world service for women,
the Young Womens Christian Association
plans tt build dormitories in manufacture
ing towns where girls may live cheaply
under healthful physical and social con-
ditions, to send out secretaries who can
introduce recreation into the factory COM
pound and direct games and social life.
This is done with the cooperation of
the factories managers and proprietors.
One of the most influential of these is Mrs.
Suzuki, the most prominent woman manu-
facturer in Japan, who is owner and man
ager of firm which exported 100000
worth of bean oil to America last year.
Recently Mrs. Suzuki decided to employ
one thousand women in her offices. She
could not find enough we'll trained ones
so she established permanent school
where japanese girls may be trained to
enter the business world. The greatest
danger ahead of Japan she says, is in its
growing materialism, and Japan's greatest
need, the development of her women.-Ex.

The Mexican sugar crop of 1921 is esti-

The rapid agricultural development of

cost of farm labor has induced the farmers

to hunters and trappers short time ago
are now producing recordbreaking crops.
american agricultural machinery is
important in Norway" states Nels A.
Bengtson, of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce. "In general the
high quality of American tools and
mechanisms is conceded and the expression
is frequently heard that American goods
rank first in quality but are somewhat
higher in price,"
Plant diseases, which might have been
prevented, cost the farmers of the United
States tremendous losses in 1920. The fol-
lowing figures of losses are official:
Wheat, 100000 bushels; oats, 5O,OOO,-
600 bushels; sweet potatoes, 100000
bushels; tomatoes, $4,000 tons; cotton,
$4,000 bales; peaches, 100000 bushels;
apples, 100000 bushels.
While each increase in the price of gas
oline is exasperating to the motorists, it is
interesting to note that these increases
amount to much less in the course of
year than is generally supposed. An in
crease of five cents gallon, for instance,
means but $17 to the man who drives his
car 5000 miles in the course of year and
who gets IA miles to the gallon.
Successful experiments on large scale
convince the Department of Agriculture
that a practical method has been found
of saving peach orchards from the peach
tree borer. Crystals of an insecticide are
sprinkled around the base of the infected
tree and covered with EARTH The sub
stance forms gas which kills the borers.
Millions of dollars have already been
saved to Georgia orchard men through
this discovery.

sUNFLoWER GOOD AS sILAGE
Becoming Popular in Northwestern
Sections Where Corn 10 Diff
cult to Grow.

The use of sunfiowers for silage has
proved popular in certain of the North
ern Great Plains and Inter-Mountain
states where 1t is not possible to pro-
dtice large tonnage of corn for silage
purposes. In some sections the silage
made from sunflowers has been found
to compare favorably in palatability
and feeding value with silage made
from corn. This is not always the
case, however, as it appears that in
certain irrigated districts in the North
ern Great Plains where the growth of
sunflowers Is rank and succulent, the
resulting silage is often not very pal
atable. Experiments reported from
the Huntley experiment farm In Mon
tana of the United States Department
of Agriculture show that. while it is
possible to produce from % to 80 tons
of sunflowers per acre, it has been diff
ficult to produce silage that is as
much relished by live stock as corn
silage, which gives rather less than
half as much tonnage per acre.

In the rush of summer work the hens

This is poor economy, because the care
they receive will determine to large

The poultrymen of the Department
of Agriculture advise that hens be
given free range, if possible, during the
summer months, and If they cannot be
given free range that as much green
feed be furnished as they will readily
consume. Milk Is excellent during the

Hyaienic Dish-Washino.

The hygienic importance of electric
disli-washing has been shown in re-
port by Surgeon J. G. Cummings. of
the United States army. Investigating
the effects of the influenza epidemic
in institutions having Il quarter of a
million people. it was found that
where dishes We're washed by hand
there We're 324 cases of the disease
per 1000 persons: but in hotels and
other places having electric dish
washers the rate was only one-third
as great or 10S per 1000. The wash
ing by the machines is not only more
thorough than hand washing, but
hotter water is used, and this insures
more effective sterilization.

parntus of tirst-class gallery.
Professor Draper made an exposure
of only thirty seconds. Then he closed
the camera and hurried to the dark
room to develop the plate. AS matter
of fact. all he really hoped to get
was proof that an instantaneous eX-
pOsure'' was feasible.
But 1t was an excellent likeness.
In fact 1t was so excellent that most
of the people to whom 1t was shown
We're entirely skeptical and did not
hesitate to accuse the photographer
of using the pencil of the artist to sup
ply the deficiencies of the camera.
However, Professor Draper Obliglngly
repeated the experiment many times
with unvarying success. Moreover he
wrote several articles for the maga-
zines of the day, giving full details
Finally the doubters were convinced.
Not only were the doubters con-
vinced but they demanded photographs
of themselves and their wives ana
their sweethenrts. Soon there was
such demand for daguerreotypes
that Draper and Morse opened a pho
tograph gallery This was certainly
the first in America and probably the
first in the world.
With Professor Morse in Europe in
1899 was Matthew b. Brady QS24-
1s96). He was precOciOus boy OF
fifteen. an employee of A. T. Stewart,
New York's merchant prince. When
Professor Draper produced his "instan-
taneous photograph" Brady saw his
opportunity. He quickly established
gallery on Broadway. He was sue
cessful from the start. In 1851 he
took a prize mt the London worlds
fair When the Civil war broke out
he was Brady, the photographer"
with worldwide fame and galleries in
New York and Washington.
When the Civil war broke out Brady
started out with horse and buggy
and a camera to photograph 1t. he
was in the thick of the first battle
of Bull Run. That night he blundered
into the New York fire department
zouayes. He was on foot, but he still
hnd his negatives. The zouaves gave
him n sword. which he strapped on
outside of his linen duster and so
made his way to Washington. In max
,ng his wonderful collection of Civil
war pictures, he spent the fortune he
had made as photographer. In Wash
