Colored Games Stopped BY Rain.

Jupiter Pluvius put forth his re-
straining hand last Wednesday and
Thursday, and stayed two games OF
what promised to be interesting ball
between the colored teams of Bam-
berg and Columbia. The games were
staged at Rhoad park, but both af-
ternoons only three innings were
played. Wednesday, when the game
was called on account of the storm,
the score was tied one to one, and
Thursday three innings were again
played, when rain stopped the game,
the score being 2 to in Bamberg's S
favor.
Good ball was played both after
Moons, the Bamberg pitcher, Handy,
doing commendable work. The rain
appears to have been decidedly in
Columbia's favor, as it appeared that
the visiting team was scheduled to
receive a good walloping. The team
stayed over until Thursday to play
off the game, but the game could not
be again played Fridaysas the park
was already engaged for the Tri-
County league game. A number OF
white people attended both games.

his hair had turned grey in two tufts

Another was the case Of a woman
whose hair fell out over the region OF
conjugal love while her husband was
undergoing a serious operation. The
hair grew in again, but quite white.
The region of conjugal love is situated
about two inches directly back hori-

SIMPLE MATTER OF REASON
saiIIes to Columbia, Mo-, In Last
Three Centuries.

An old Indian was sitting by camp
fire near the present site of Versailles,
Mo-, back in July, 1908. He was tell
ing a story about Louis d. Moscoso,
successor to De Soto, who explored the
southwestern part Of Missouri In 1912.
"Sure, Nike" he said. "These hombres
are white, have short hair, carry"
But his sentence was never finished.
About that time 1t began to rain and
the council adjourned to the shelter.
1t Is now 312 years since that time, but
the water from that very rain we are
just now getting here in Columbia for
drinking purposes. Don't you believe
it? Well, here is the way they find
such things out. During the war the
army made some tests of how fast
water moves under the ground. This
was done by digging two wells, plac-
ing some chemicals in one to discolor
the water and then waiting to see how
long before the discoloration became
apparent In the water of the second
well. The layer of sand from which
Columbia secures it's water is me-
dium sand, neither coarse nor fine, and
1t was found that water moved S45 feet
a year in such sand. The layer of sand
outcrops at Versailles, which Is approx
imately fifty miles from here. Figure

Instead Of attributing lnfallibility to
the deities they worship. as all other
races have done, the Chinese resort to
tricks of childish simplicity and are
sure they have deceived the god.
Usually the tricks employed are to
make sure the god does not betray
the sins Of Chinese to the higher
deities. An amazing example is the
treatment of the kitchen god just
before he is to start on one of his
periodic visits to heaven. This trip
Is limited, because the kitchen god
may be absent only seven days.
The householder thinks he must pre-
vent the god from reciting his sins to
the deities. So 1t Is the general Gus
tom, before the god is to depart on
the seven days absence, to prepare
large hollow balls Of the gods favorite
candy. The kitchen deity has a very
small throat. When the candy, OF
which he is extremely fond, Is placed
before him, the Chinese say the god
stuffs his mouth with 1t, being too
gluttonous to leave any behind. HIS
small throat prevents swallowing the
confection, and thus when he appears
before the ruling deities he Is unable
to talk, and the heuseholder's sins
remain a secret,

WHAT THE MARYLAND FIRE
PREVENTION CAMPAIGN MEANS
BY Franklin H. Wentworth,
Secretary National Fir Protection Association

Every fire is local; it must start
somewhere; therefore, it is where
it may start that interest and at
tention must be focused.
There are really but two things
that can be done to check our as
founding fire losses. One is to
correct the habits of our people,
to inspire in them the habit of
carefulness; the other is to do
positive physical acts like clean
ing up Easements, attics and
yards, and inspecting and cor
recting defects in school houses,
stores, houses and other buildings.
The Maryland group is to do
both of these things. From the
Governor down it is to stimulate
and inform the everyday people
of the State what the fire waste
means; and then, having done
this, it is to point out the physi-
cal means for it's abatement. This
is a job that will require patience,
energy and persistence, but if the
public spirited gentlemen who
have launched this campaign at
tract to it the support and coop
Grafton such an effort deserves the
Maryland group will write their
names into the history of their
State. :

tribute money for indemnity. They
do not suffer and are not expected
to.
But who pay. for the losses
which are the inevitable conse7
ouence of the destruction of build
ines, their contents and other things
material; the impairment of pres
tige, the interruption of business,
enterprise, contractual relations,
dismemberment of organization and
what not else!
A burned building is far more
easily replaced than a burned busi-
ness: and wrecked works than
an incinerated industrial enterprise:
That which makes business and
industry are not buildings, mer-
chandise, machinery and what else,
but the organization of human intel
ligence.
A fire burns a business building,
or a factory. These and their con-
tents may be replaced. But far too
often the business and the indus
try, as such, are burned beyond re-
pair. And if not that bad the scars
are deep and unforgettable.
Ask any honest man whose soul
has been scared by fire.
There is not any insurance tor
the human distress, economic and
otherwise, that follows fire.
1t has been estimated that the un-
insurable losses from fire equal the
insurable losses. In other words,
for every dollar of loss in property
burned, which is insurable, there is
dollar of loss in business burned
or industry incinerated, which is not
insurable.
These uninsurable losses are OF
ten referred to as interruption
losses.
Who may suffer then, with inn
punity?
And for those who do, the future
will deal with much more harshly
than has the past.
There will be in the immediate
future a fullsome renaissance OF
the ancient law of the survival of
the fittest.
Our once prof1igate nation will
have to think of saving what we
have; not building to burn and
burning, building again.
As nation we have been profit
gate. But there are some particu-
lar exceptions.
The most signal exception to our
national proAigacy, and one which
supplies a complete example in eco
nomic conservation of enterprise
from the destruction and havoc of
fire is the textile industry.
The torch of the fire fiend, which
has been laying waste to resources
of our fair country to the extent of
a quarter of a billion dollars an
nually for a number of years,
touches the modern textile indus
try very lightly.

WHEN SIMS GOT IN WRONG
CAPITOL Barber on Record as Making
Bad Break to the Then Sen
ator Harding.

The odds are 200 to 2 that the SEN
ators will say that Sims is the most
popular barber, in the senate barber
shop. Sims has the cream of the
senate trade and he has been In the
senate barber shop longer than any
one knows. He has become expert
not only on shaving and cutting hair
and massaging, but on political mat
ters as well.
When President Harding was still
a member of the senate he came in
for Sims to do little face work on
him. Sims began shortly after the
then senator took the chair, to talk
of the Constitutional amendment pro-
viding for direct election of its men,
bers
"Why, this direct election is sure
a bad thing" said Sims in Mr. Har-
ding's ear. "Why, the men who are
here can't be compared with the men
who were here 20 years ago"
Just about this time 1t dawned on
Sims what he was saying and to whom
he was saying it.
Probably his conscience was stirred
by the fact that Mr.. Harding's face
was getting redder and redder as he
tried to suppress his laughter.
"Oh, indeed, senator" said the
stricken Sims. 81 was speakin genul-
ly. l didn't mean nothing pussunal
about it."-Los Angeles Times.

1t is an ambitious and compre-
hensive undertaking that the fire
prevention forces in Maryland are
attempting. Fire Prevention Day,
October 10, is to be recognized in
that State, but only as an incident
in a larger struggle for perma-
nent accomplishments. w. r.
Hough, one of Baltimore's fire
commissioners, and B. S. Mace,
fire prevention engineer OF the B.
and O. Railroad, are the capable
leaders in campaign to which
the Governor of Maryland and the
Mayor of Baltimore have pledged
their interest and support. 1t
gives one a pleasant sensation to
see two citizens of a State put
their shoulders to the wheel in a
work of this sort simply because
they understand the importance
of it to their fellow citizens and
want to make a contribution OF
pubic service.
The comprehensive plan of or
ganization which they have work
ed out, which has enlisted the CO.
operation of so many public
bodies and so many distinguished
men, recognizes the important
fact the fire waste must become a
matter of local concern if a vital
attack is to be made upon it.

Japanese Easy to Learn.

Sir Dennison Ross, director of the
London school of oriental studies, in
an exhortation to his countrymen to
learn japanese, says that this Is one
of the easiest languages of the world
to pronounce. Most of the words end
In vowels and none of the consOnants
offer any difficulties" The structure
of japanese is very peculiar and very
strange to the beginner. 1t Is hard to
realize a grammar which recognizes no
persons and genders-but such Is the
case with the japanese. The language
also has no relative pronouns. How
ever, there Is no reason why people
whose mother tongue is English should
fight shy of the language. For prac-
tical, everyday purposes, six months
study of the spoken tongue will carry
an intelligent man long way provided
ne has competent teachers.

Generate Boats In Itaiy.

Some years ago there was first
broached the question Of using con-
crete for shipbuilding, and since that
time there have been many success
full and practical applications Of this
idea. Indeed, the inventor Gabellini
has succeeded In inducing the italian
government to adopt 1t for certain
purposes connected with the navy.
These boats have double skins and
water-tight compartments, and, being
craft of about 100 tons each, are able
to Withstand shocks by collision to q
surprising extent. Their draft Is little
more than that Of wooden vessels Of
the same size. A special advantage
IL that they neither rot nor rust; and
they are easily kept clean. Many

in use In Italy; and concrete has been
found particularly well. adapted for
the constructing docks and cassions.

MAKES new BED
River Indus Changes Its Course
With Regularity.
lnhabItants Of WazirIstan Face Per-
petual Peril, as Water Constantly
Moves in a New Direction.

The frequently heard news that an
eastern river has changed Its course
with danger to property and life
seems incredible until one has actually
seen an active river getting busy" on
a new course, writes correspondent
from Waziristan, India.
Thus the Indus Is perpetual prob
lem, and for this reason: All .provi-
sions must cross It's broad waters, as
Waziristan Is on the west bank and in
desert country.
Every October the river hibernates,
and a bridge of boats temporarily
solves the problem.
But each May 1t wakes up, shakes
itself out Of Its sleep and probably
out Of Its original course.
The bridge is hurriedly dismantled,
and there ensues anxious speculation
among the engineers.
Which way Is the water coming?
After observations and soundings the
new position Of the port, quantity
called STEAMER Point" is fixed. There
follows a procession of railway men,

lonely river bank is populated and be-
comes a "going concern"
Even then a wary eye has to be kept
on the encroaching waters. Both the
railway and the supply dumps" have
to be moved farther and farther back.
Sometimes even In single night the
river will flow away into new and
unexpected channel; or, maybe, 1t will
forsake a portion Of its bed, leaving a
yellow sandbank In Its place.
The bank itself becomes jagged like
a piece Of bread into which child has
made large bites.
The water swirls ever inward and
cracks appear ten feet within the bank /;
the cracks deepen, and without warn
ing another large lump of shore
crumbles away. A motor car that

PROPERTY BURNED
! IS PROPERTY LOST
Fire Insurance Replaces, But The
Money Paid BY Insurance
Companies Is Not Created.

Property burned is property lost,
according to the Maryland Fire
Prevention Campaign workers,
whose slogan during the ten days
beginning October l will be. "Stop
a Fire Before it Starts!" During
the campaign every citizen of
Maryland is to be asked to do all
he can to prevent fires in private
homes, farm buildings and manu-
featuring plants, by using care and
commonsense. Says Ira G. Hoag-
land, nationally known as a fire pre-
vention engineer:
Fire is both a boon and a bane.
Uncontrolled, it blights. burns, con-
sumes, destroys, devastates, wrealcs
havoc, incinerates, kills and mains,
and generally lays waste to the crea-
tions of nature and man.
The destructiveness of FIRE, the
economic devastation of it, is gen
orally thought of in terms of the
material damage wrought, the value
of buildings burned, contents con-
sumed, property destroyed.
Fundamentally, the value of hui
man life is economic, but the con-
current destruction of it by fire is
little thought of in that sense. 1t
is felt a. personal bereavement, not
as society benefit Of creative intel
Licences and producers of wealth.
And little thought is given-be-
forehand-to the economic havoc
wrought by fire in business and in
dustry; to the thousand and one
things in the aftermath of 4 fire
which try the souls of men.
1t is fondly imagined, for the
most part that the insurance
against loss by fire on the buildings
of commerce and industry and their
contents of merchandise and ma
terials, raw, wrought and in proc
ess of manufacture" will be full
and complete recompense for loss
by fire.
II am insured to the limit. A
FIRE won't cost me a cent. The in
surance companies will suffer, not
me" is the familiar chatter of hon
est but unthinking men-we are
not considering the unmentionable
kind that make money out OF fires
and flourish like the proverbial
green bay tree because of rotten
politics.
Of course the insurance COM
panies will pay for the losses to
buildings, equipments, merchandise,
and what not in the way of ma
terial things, and, sometimes to in
come and profits.
And the insurance companies
while paying do not pay; the pub
lie pays the price. The insurance
companies only collect and dis
