sure enough big Lacquer.
These faults are of various kinds.
A great many pitchers are unable
to hold the base runners closely,
which permits them to run wild.
With runners on the bases pitch
ers must change their style almost
entirely Very often when a pitcher
is compelled to short up his deliv-
cry in order to hold the runners
closely to the bases, he loses much
of his effectiveness.
Nine out of ten pitchers need at
tention in this respect. Usually
some of the veteran pitchers or
catchers instruct the youngsters in
the proper way to correct such a
fault
A great many pitchers suffer
from lack of control. They discov-
er that the big league hitters wait
the pitcher out a great deal more
than is customary in the minors.
Balls that minor league players hit
at, are passed up by the keen-eyed
big leaguerS.

 Taking me tenderiy in his arms he seated me atop the stile. With his arms still about me We sat thus in silence for several long, ecstatic mom- ents, Then abruptly, in the sudden gathering twilight, he murmured; Do you mean It. Virgie? Do you really mean 1t? Oh, love you-love you---love you"

Campaign Is Begun For Public Health
 In Cullman County

Cullman, June 6.--(Special. )--Dr. ". K. Sharp of the United States public health service. and Rev. James M. Graham, field director of the Ala bama Tuberculosis association, who is cooperating with the state board of health, appeared before the county medical association and the county commissioners here Monday in the interest of establishing a county health unit.
 Dr. Sharp pointed out the fact that there are IS counties In Alabama now with these health units. Each unit consists of physician who would draw about s3.000 per year.; ar inspector. who could be paid s1.6o0 per year. with an additional sum of $500 for running a car. an office as- slstant, and incidental expenses.
 The commissioners were asked to givc $5.Oo0 from the county. so that the state would give s2.5oo and pos sibly some aid would come from tho government.
 Some of tho main measures that would be taken up by this health unit, as pointed out by pr. sharp, would be the control of communicable diseases, the inspection of school chil- dren, and educational campaigns, such as those to prevent typhoid fever. .malariai fever. hook worm, etc,
 Figures were given showing what Morgan county and other eoutntss of Alabama were doing along this line, Morgan county gives $5,o0oi they receive s5.ooo from the Rockefeller fund, and the two cities. Decatur and Albany, contribute t2.o00.
 Tn Cullman county it would cost each citizen about i6 cents per year to keep this health unit going

TARIFF SPONSORS AGREE ON CLOTURE
 TOHASTEN ACTION
Underwood Believes RepubS Will Not Attempt to Shut Off Debate by Gagging
 Senate Now
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The. Age Herald.

500 Davidson Building.
 Washington, June Special )-- Although the caucus of republican senators agreed to sponsor cioture rule for facilitation Of the passage of the pending tariff bill, Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Alaba mt, democratic leader. risks a 'guess" that republican senators will not at tempt to put a cloture rule Into ef- feet.
 "of course. I may be mistaken said Senator Underwood. But I do rot think the republicans will at tempt to gag the Senate just at this time
 T am in favor of reasonable cio- ture. But I will oppose the repub- licans if they attempt to shut off debate on a purely partisan or party question.
 We are not fiiibustering on the bill. The republicans know that we are not, If we desired we could filibuster the bflI to death. It would be possible for us to demand four roll calls on every amendment--no cloture could prevent us so demand ing. There are 1000 amendments to the bill. If the clerk Is forced to call the roll 5000 times. the bill would be enacted some day in July, 1924
 Not FiIibustering
 Even if the republicans should pu. over cloture rule, I don't suppose the democrats would insist on 5000 roll calls. But we could do so. That we do not is proof that we are not filibustering,
 We do not want to tie up all legislation. We do want to discuss the tariff bill. however. We want to discuss 1t thoroughly. and we will do so. cloture or no cloture. The re- rublicans are apparently tired of the discussion. They would cut it off for the people are hearing and needing, and their grumbling is reaching Washington.
 But 1t might not greatly appeal to the country to be informed that democrats, trying to explain the ef- feet the tariff bill will have on the people. were 'choked off gagged not for the preservation of time. but for purely political reason.
 The republicans know this. 1t would be as dangerous to their chance of reelection for the people to become aware that the Dill contained things so baneful that the majority found 1t necessary to estop debate, as for the people to know everything that is in the bill. and the effect it will have.
 "In either event. the republicans will have their hands full in making plausible explanation to the peo- pie"

 He was distinguished looking. tall thin and pale. He was extremely agitated and stood gazing intently at me. It flashed across my mind that this intruder was mad. Eddie strengthened up belligerentiy, but I gestured him to silence. The stranger had spoken my mothers name!
