Babe Ruth is wearing a rubber
shirt at Hot Springs.
He's taking the baths and mixing
miles over the hills to reduce.
No baseball star ever trained
more conscientiously than Babe
when once he starts.
His goal is to sweat OF 80 pounds
of fat.
He may succeed this year. But
that fat is going to come back next
year in more solid quantities.
Some day he will find that his
waist line won't shrink.
His appetite is 90 big. He is too
healthy to ever be skinny.
But give the Home Run King
credit for trying.
Whatever he does he does with
purpose and intellectually.
When he bats he swings with all
the power of his powerful body.
When he shoots craps he shoots 1t
all.
When he trains nobody can keep
in sight of him.
When he starts hitting long ones
this spring he'll try to overshoot his
mark OF 81.
Because he tries he is the biggest
figure in baseball today.

Blaze Destroys
Five Mail Planes
Explosion Precedes Fire in
Hangers at Government
Field in Illinois.

CHICAGO. Dec. 25.-Fire Of mys-
FERROUS origin today destroyed five
army airplanes of the government
mail service in their hangers at
the United States government field
at haywood, III. The damage is
estimated at 100000, but delay in
transmission of important mail will
represent a much larger loss.
The fire was preceded by an ex-
plosion, which may have been due
to crossed wires in one of the ma
chimes. Flames shot high. and al
most Immediately gas tanks in the
other machines caught fire and fex-
ploded. Each machine carried six
ty-four gallons of high-grade gaso-
line. One hundred feet from the
large hangar was a steel fuel shed,
containing 500 gallons of gasoline,
but this was saved by prompt work
Three of the eight planes which
make up the complement of Check
erboard Field were run out anu
saved. The Waterman believes the
fire may have started from a small
boiler in the rear of the large han
gar. used for heating purposes.
There is also hint that it might
have been the work of organized
thieves working in country roads
thereabout, as the planes have been
used frequently of1ate to run down
these bandits.
