more. If necessary. to emphasize
their confidence in Hornsbys ability
to defeat any rival player that might
be selected to meet him in a race
at the distance named.
That the Cardinals star is con-
sidered such a fast sprinter was a
surprise TO me in a way. I had due

ability and his speed In getting Gown
to first-still, had not awakened to
the fact that he was thought TO be
par-excellent as a speed boy.
A match race between H0rnsby :
and another player would be u
most attractive card and could be
arranged to take place on some
baseball park before game. 1t
would surely be n big card.
Who among the Giants Is capable
of giving Hornsby a contest? There
are Frank Frisch, Ralph SINNERS,
Pep" Young and Jess Barnes. They
are among the speediest, l think.
SINNERS came up with a reputa-
ton of having been the best base
runner in the American Association
last season, but 1t is not always the
ton Of having been the best base

base-runners. Still, Ralph is a whale
| for speed in circling the bases, as Is
also Frank Frisch.
What other men in the National
League are there who can tackle
Hornsby with a chance to make a
contest of such a sprint race? Let
US have the race and see II the
Cardinals have in their star the

Spirit Is Good.

A FEW weeks ago the Griff-
~ men left Detroit for St.
Louis, home of their pet
jinx. The morning of that last
day in Detroit saw half the team
arguing and laying mind bets that
they would surely take the series
from the Browns. They failed to
turn the trick, but their morale
was admirable. They did not go
into st. Louis expecting defeat.
They went intent on winning.
There is nothing the matter
with the morale of the Griffmen.
They are all out there doing their
best and, as the weeks 90 by,
many will add to their batting
averages and many pitchers will
show even greater skill than they
have to date.

their remarkable support, prac-

It hasn't pleased his family, it hasn't pleased his monarchist followers, it hasn't. pleased the people of Holland or Doorn.

MINE HORRORS.

It is always interesting to note the progress that is being made in connec- ton with mine safety. Constant efforts are being made to improve the situation below the surface, to eliminate recog- nized dangers, to anticipate others and to increase the effectiveness of those who undertake rescue work when acci- dents hay happened and there exists the chance to still save human life.
 Nevertheless regardless of what, has happened there are still too many in stances where fires, cave-ins OF blasts result in deploFable mine horrors, caus- ing large losses of life and no end of misery. This only gives emphasis te the fact that regardless of what is be- ing done and what is contemplated there is still room for much greater i'm provements. All that has been done has not overcome the possibility of mine ac- cidents, and there is no reason to ex- pect that it will. The best that can be hoped is that it will reduce the needles: waste of life and eliminate those cases where it is evident preventive work is possibl.
 What progress is being made in deal ing with such matters is indicated bS the manner in which just such rescue work was carried in the recovery of tht gassed and injured. following the ex plosicn in the coliery at Spangler, Pa There it was possible to employ th' rescue squads to better advantage thai l it was in the recent mine fire in Cali fornia. Conditions were decidedly diff ferent but if all accentuates the i'm portanee of preventive measures ana work in anticipation of such accident | as can be expected to occur
 The situation is much better toda.
 than it was quarter of century agt
 but there still remains plenty of room
 for Improvement and efforts are happii,
 being directed to that end wheneve
 there is that needed cooperation; be
 tween mine owners and the federal bu rau of mines.

THE ELECTION RESULT.

In an election which has been unusual ly close for Connecticut, results at late hour make it evident that the republican ticket has been successful throughout the state, that Senator Mclean has been re- turned to Washington. along with the five congressman from this state, and that Lieutenant Governor Templeton has been raised to the chief executives chair, together with the remainder of the state ticket and a republican general assembly.
 It was an election in which democratic pressure was brought to bear in the cities and there it is that democratic support was gained in most of the large centers of the state.
 Locally, the apathy which had been in- dicated in the republican ranks and the well organized opposition gave demo- cratic victory ranging from the average of nearly three hundred majority to the 61 by which Lee Roy Robbins was beaten in the senatorial contest. There was evil dence that the feeling displayed in the last June election had not entirely dis appeared.
 Locally, in the state and throughout many of the states there was manifested that departure from the tremendous ma jority that was rolled up the presidential election two years ago. It was change that was anticipated but in getting back more nearly to norma1cy there were like wise some surprises. In Connecticut democratic hopes have been dashed. It was believed to be a year when they could win. The state has, however, endorsed the service ren; dered by it's representatives in congress and spoken for the continuance of that type of businesslike state government which it has been experiencing. Con- nectieut has done better than those from without had been estimating it could do

Much interest is bound to be attached to the efforts that have been set in mo- tion by the court of common council lin behalf of better protection at the grade crossing at Eighth street, where the life of the head of family was re- gently snufled out, where others have had narrow escapes and where there are conditions which make it decid- edly bad place for users of the high way.
 It is one of those blind crossings that make it impossible for anyone go- ing east to set view of the track and in only one direction can those going west see an approaching train. ..
 Located at the foot of $ sharp grade the driVer of a vehicle of any kind has his troubles in bringing his team or machine to a stop after turning in from North Main street even though he is warned of approaching danger by the crossing tender. For those going west it is natural to step on the gas just be- fore opOssiug the track in order to make the GFGda truraedtatsly on the other side.
 It i veil, and it is time, that it was estzAlished whether conditions at that point are what can be reasonably con sidered safe, what the chances are that even the eaEeful drivers are taking al such tiaea as the crossing tender may be ahsSat. There is in fact potentia danger at all the crossings from Eightl street south where it seems as if sem' pzotactive measures should be taken tt hglaguaRd these who have to use them
 FFsm such . report as the committee n9med to investigate makes it ought t bs possible to determine whether thu yigAt solution for the Eighth stree trouble Is an overhead bridge or-an eff feetlve signal that will actually war the highway users at times when tn flsguian is of duty.
 Those vAo insist upon drivers stop ping their machines before negotiatin any of the pPivste erussings to the Sout of Eighth street are doing the wis thing. The bad grade at Eighth stree zratAS it difficult to follow that plar Adequate signals should prevent acct dents while q bridge would eliminat them entirely.

Eunr1nure WAR BONDS.

When this country put forth its Lib erty bond issues there were many thousands of people who invested in government bonds who had never done so before. They regarded it as a patri- otic duty, and it was. Likewise it was considered a gilt-edged investment and there is no question but what it was Only those who have baen unable to hold them as an investment has been obliged to sAeriAes on them.
 But bseatSs of ths fact that many are not familiar with the details involved In the handling of such securities it seems probable that there will be those who will lose certain interest because of their own negligence. As to the prin- sipal there is of course no question.
 For instance it is or should be 1nown that the Victory notes bearing 5 3-t per cent interest were called for re- demption last June. The. date on which they were called for redemption is the date on which the interest payment ex- pires It is of course possible to hold the bonds as long as one pleases with the as1lranee that the face v&lue will De paid by the government but the in terest on them has stepped. Tn other words it is ong since time to col lect and put the money elsewhere at in- terest
 There are other Victory notes which call for S-4 per cent interest and cer- tain of those have been called for re- demption December Is, meaning that interest will not be paid after that date and that the full amount can be col. ieeted from the government through the banks at that time.
 Notice of redemption Is sufficient fo, thoss who are familiar with the hand ling ot bonds. It is for those who art not that attention is now being calico to the matter. They do not desire, iJ an prOozbrity, to lose ana interest money and they will not if they sur render their bonus in accord with thu government notices of redemption. con cerning which the banks are alway glad to furnish information.

Stories That Recall Others
Getting Mixed

, There is huckster who has his Eng fish terms slightly mixed, but in trying hard.
 He is a stocky fellev who has the reputation of giving good weight and selling fresh goods.
 Are these fresh?" the housewife will ask.
 "Yes, sir," he will respond.
 If a man should ask the same question the fellow smiles and replies, "Yes, ma am"
 And when he has delivered his goods and is about to depart it is always, Well, goodby."
 Good for old Ladies
 The other day woman, age 92 years, went to an old ladies' home. She was so brisk and cheery, despite her deafness that every one loved her at sight. Later she was visited by one of her old neigh bofs,. whe asked her how she liked the home. And this was her answer: Well, this is the necest, friendliest bunch of people I ever met. I think every woman ought to live at an old ladies' home for time just to learn how to be polite and sociable."

IN THE PUBLIC EYE

Prof. Michael J. Pupin, who is to be the chief speaker at the National Per- sonnel Convention which meets in Pitts -burgh today, has been called the king of the telephone. His achievements in the field of science have Been many, but the invention which brought him most fame was the loading coil which made transcontinental and ocean telephony possible. Professor Pupin is a serb. His parents were peasants. He came to America as a stowaway, and did not have a dollar when he landed. He worked as farmland in Maryland and as shampooer in a Turkish bath in New York. He saved little money and entered Columbia university. In 1888 he was graduated at the head of his class. Then he took postgraduate course, first at Cambridge, England. and then at the University of Berlin. Upon his return, in 1888, he was appointed tc his present position as professor ei electro-mechanics at Columbia.
