Tampering With Players
Greatest Evil. Saws Mack

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19.-Tamper-
ing with the imagination OF baseball
players by offers Of big salaries is the
greatest menace the game faces, in the
opinion of Connie Mack, manager and
part owner of the Philadelphia Amcri-
cans.
First division teams" Mack said to-
day, think that whenever a star is de-
veloped all they have to do is advertise
that they Will pay thousands of dollars
for him and then double the salary he
is getting from his present club. To
my mind, that is the biggest menace
baseball facds right now. Some of
these first division clubs don't seem to
realize it, and I think it will take some
kind Of ruling by Judge Lands to
get It through their heads"

Forfeit Moneys
Posted by Boxers
And the Promoters

The forfeit moneys Of both princi-
pals and promoters involved in the
Dempsey-Carpentier bout set for July
were directly or indirectly accounted
for here last night. As result 1t ap-
pears that none Of the terms Of the
contract signed on November 5, 1920
have been violated.
]. E. Ward, who handled the bonds
for those involved in the contract,
stated that the American Surety Com
pany, Of this city, had issued bond
for Promoter Tex Richards share of
the 100000 forfeit fund, amounting to
$33,S3333. The United States Fidelity
and Guaranty Company Of Baltimore
issued similar bond for William A.
Brady, while Charles P. Cochran, the
English promoter, gave check for his
one-third responsibility.
Each of the principals, through their
managers, were obliged by the terms
Of the contract to place a forfeit fund
of $4,000 in the hands Of the holding
tsust company on or before last No.
scmber 20. In the case of Dempsey his
u i2anager, Jack Kearns, arranged with
the Fidelity and Guaranty Company Of
Baltimore for such q bond.
Carpenter placed sum equivalent
to $4,000 with the Paris firm Of Nor
gan, Harjes & Co., with instructions To
forward 1t to New York. According to q
cable dispatch from Paris, this amount
was deposited November %, and in 9
statement from Cochran In London Il
was explained that the money had
never been transferred to this country,
owing to the refusal Of the French GOV.
ernment to permit 1t to leave France.
All those involved in the match, how
ever, consider the posting of the forfeit
OK Carpenter in France as being with
in the terms of the contract.
Officers Of the Central Union Trust

forfeits, refused yesterday to affirm or

ASK EN- THESE.

We have read with absorbing in
terest list of questions submitted
by Thomas A. Edison which. in his
iplnion any college graduate ought
to be ale to answer.
It's robody's business how MANY of
those questions this winter succeed
ed IN answering correctly. The in
terrogative hazing of the electrical
wizard was not directed against US
but against college GRADUATES. To
tell the truth, however our batting
average was rather low, and doubt
less this is true of majority. of
the persons who have COINED Mr..
Edisons queries.
What we started out to say is that
the Edison questions generally
speaking have very little practical
value. If the great inventor Had
framed a set Of questions that
college graduates will eventually be
compelled to answer. For instance
he ought to ask future husbands to
try out something like these on
their monographs, and see what
sort of noise they make.
Did you order the coal.
Where were you when | telephon-
ed your and they said you were out I?
Did you mail that better | gave
You this morning?
Where did you get that smell on
your breath?
Why don't you get a rag and wipe
off your shoes? Haven't you any
regard at all for how you look?
What do you mean by coming
home at this hour Of night? Tor
morning as the case may be.)
Why don't you buy more than one
collar button?
Why are you SO polite to that catty
creature? Don't you know | despise
her?
Don't you feel ashamed of your
self, using such language in the
presence of your little son?
What did you do with that $40
bill | saw in your pocket yesterday?
If Mr. Edison will frame some
satisfactory answers to these ques-
tions he will qualify any man for
life sentence in matrimony.-Jack-
son News.

HOW TO KEEP YOUNG

Have YOU ever noticed that those
who really have the hard knocks in
life, and have the most to bear in
the way of physical or mental suffer
ing, are often the most cheerful and
the most plucky?
1t is the unhealthy, morbid brood
ing over petty disappointments, diff
ficulties or small Illnesses that in
lure us most. Some people get into
the habit Of worry, and in so doing
spoil the lives of those around them
and warp their own.
By constant worry the power Of
self-control is lost. The ability to
be cheerful, courageous and some
times even interesting, is gradually
undermined. EverNuslly this effects
the health, the appetite is banished
and the digestion and probably the
heart affected. The unhappiness
shows in the face. Lines appear be-
tween the eys; they look dull and
the skin unhealthy and probsblS
wrinkled.
Worry sucks the vitality from not
onlv the one who gives way to 1t
but from all who are near.
Learn, therefore, to face life
bravely, and, above all, don't make
trouble out of small or imaginary

EQUALITY

l hold this-that if a man be true.
If he i'll live unto his spoken creed.
1t matters not what work he finds
to do,
Nor what his garb-of him the world
has need.
There are degrees of skill and wealth
and fame;
One may grow richer than his neig-
Dor can,
But, if to gain another stoop to shame
The honest toiler is the better
man.
Who stands to duty patiently by day
And gives his best, no matter what
the task
Who meets with faith the cares
which come his way,
Is doing all that God shall ever
ask.

Thus far it has not been found in

Board INSPECTORS have secuted the
State extensively with the exception
Of one county, which was omitted
on accout of bad roads at the time.
This report shows that during toe

MANY COTTON MILL BUILDING
IN TEXAS

A Dpllas, Tex, dispatch of recent
date says: Fully twenty cotton-mill
projects are actively on foot in
Texas. while thirty or forty more
towns are keenly interested accord
ing to the Texas Chamber of Com
merce, with headquarters in Dallas.
Texas now has nineteen cotton
mills with two more nearing compile
ton, the report shows. Total mum
Der of spindles is only 14O,O54, or
just 10000 more than in one mill at
Greenyille, S. C.
Though Texas produces nearly
onethird of the cotton of the Nation,
it has only one-third of | per cent
of the cotton spindles in the United
States.
If Texas manufactured all cotton
grown in her boundaries, she would
have 1900 cotton mills of he average
size now operating in the States.
1t is predicted Texas will build up
a great cotton-mill industry in next
ten or twenty years. Since Texas
produces more than half of the
mohair of the Nation, and is one Of
the chief woolprod1cing States.
there is no reason why the WOODEN
mill industry should not also be de-
veloped,
There is only one Texas mill hand
ling wool, it being situated at
Honstonl.
