ANOTHER BASEBALL IDOL
 FALLS BY THE WAY

Another scandal has developed in the base ball world, but this time it is not of formidable proportions. Only one player seems to be in- voved, although there may be number of professional gamblers somewhere in the back ground.
 Phil Douglas, a great pitcher, who has been banished from baseball under a cloud, planes his plight on the personal enmity of John J.. McGraw manager of the New York Giants His wife says he must have been on a spree, and nobody seems able to understand why he should have committed the offense with which he is charged, an offer to desert his team and ostensibly cause the Giants to lose the pen nant, if he were paid for his treason.
 Apparently, Douglas has made the worst "bone-head play" on record. Unless he can prove his innocence, his career with organized baseball is ended forever. The promptness with which Douglas was dropped shows the awakened conscience in baseball circles, for officials still have vivid recollection of the harm done to the game by the White Sox scam dal. Whatever may be the conclusions drawn from the downfall of Douglas, it is evident that baseball authorities are not going to permit crookedness among players, if there is any way to prevent it.
 The case of Douglas is extraordinary. If the charge against him is true, and there is no more behind it than has been brought out it shows what has been suspected all along that by fans have the undeveloped mind of child. It is hard to believe that man can be famous athlete and still be moron, but the evidence in baseball points that way.

PROSPECTS ARE FAVORABLE FOR
 ENLARCINC POLICE FORCE

Reports from the city hall indicate that the police department will be given an increased appropriation in the next fiscal year, and new men will be added to the force. Chief McDuff thinks 100 additional patrolmen are needed Considering the territory to be covered, that number is not too large, but for reasons of economy the chief may not be able to get as many men as he wants. It is indicated in statements made by members of the commis- sion that the citys financial condition will not force, although Commissioner of Public Safety Cloe is quoted as saying he believed the needed appropriation could be provided for in the budget.
 Chief McDuff has made a fine record dur ing his short term in office and he is showing ably with that of other cities with larger police force, which is admittedly too small for the work 1t has to do. Despite this handicap, law enforcement in Birmingham compares favor ably wit hthat of other cities with larger police forces.
 The suburban districts arc entitled to bet ter protection than they are receiving, and some of the residential sections closer to the heart of the city are not as we'll guarded from criminal sas they should be. tis physic- ally impossible for the police force as constituted at present to patrol efficiently 52 square miles of territory.
 The commissioners should by all means 70 as far as they can to meet the wishes of Chief McDuff. If 100 new policemen will cost more than the city can afford, he should be given q many as it's finances will permit. There is no better insurance than well-manned and ef- 4icient police force.

LusITANIA CLAIMANTS WAIT

From the New York Tribune.
 Seven years have passed since the Lusitania was sent to the seas bottom. Already too long the claimants have been compelled to wait. Should we return the German property or the greater part of it at once, and then assign to a mixed commission the business of fixing the amount of our counter claims, the German members of the commission may be expected to do what they can to delay settlement. The scandal of postponement is another reason why we should make out our own bill and present it as a finality.

PRAISES SCHOOL FOR FOREIGNERS

Birmingham has done as much, if not more, toward naturalizing it's foreign citizens than any other city in the south," said John O. Hendry, naturalization examiner of Washing ton. "The schools in this district for foreign CTS have accomplished splendid work, and certainly hope it continues. I was recently in Biloxi and Gulfport Miss and assisted in establishing night school for aliens in each city. Before leaving Birmingham I expect to go to Bessemer and devise plans for school in that section"

THE ART OF LIFE
3y Robert Louis Stevenson.

By Robert Louis Stevenson.
 To be honest, to be kind--to earn little and to spend little, to make upon the whole family happier for his presence, to renounce when that shall be necessary and not be embit- tered, to keep few friends, but these without captulation-above all, on the same grim con- dition to keep friends with himself-here is task for all that man has a fortitude and decacy.

SCIENCE MAKES MILK A GOOD TRAVELLER

Science has so improved on nature in the case of milk that it is now declared possible to transport it around the world without loss of it's qualities as it comes fresh from the COW. The department of commerce is in receipt of a report from London to this effect:
 "A 10-gallon can of fresh milk, treated by the Jones Neilsen system of pasteurization, has just arrived in London from South Africa. After searching practical as well as bacterio- logical and chemical examinations by eminent dairy and scientific authorities, it was de- cared equal in flavor and attractiveness to the best English milk and free from every trace of hurtful bacteria and chemical conservatives. Exhaustive tests also proved that the fat con- tent rose in cream in a thoroughly normal manner, and that the keeping qualities of both cream and milk were not affected up to 72 hours exposure to the heat and atmosphere in . London office"
 If this process is economical and will work uniformly as well as 1t seems to have done in this case, another discovery of great benefit to the human race will have been made. Milk is an ideal food, and if it can stand trans portation for long distances without detriora- ton it will be available in that form the world over.

PUBLIC FEELING STRIKE EFFECTS

Relieve me, the strike is certainly becoming felt by the travelling public recently" said Joe Elliot of Atlanta "We were coming over for the West Lake engagement and left Atlanta in plenty of time to rehearse our act, and would have arrived early in the morning but for the trouble we experienced with the locomotive.
 "About half way out of the Cracker capital we were delayed six hours while the engine was replaced,~ and just before we got into Birmingham the new engine we were replaced with went on the bum, and that threw us so late we just got in in time to put on our vau- deville act at the Shrine Fashion show.
 "But the Southern has maintained a good record for service so far, and this has been commented on before by the travelling public"
