The closing address of the gath

from Lativa. Before overseas she
was field supervisor for Vermont

New England division. She said
that it was only when one could OBJ

ing the gifts sent from the United
States that one realized what ire

in reaching the city of Riga where
the Red Cross had their headquar-
tiers and the prejudice Of the people
against any modern methods of hv-
giene, surgery and domestic care.
After the people saw Waat the Ked
Cross was trying to accomplish
they were only too glad to avail
themselves of its generosity. She
spoke fthe utter poverty of the
people of Latvia, their Sufferings
through the cold winter and how
the high cost of living prevented
all but the rich from obtaining the
necessities of life. The average

THE NEW TYPE OF HOUSE.
WORKER

For many years women have
complained bitterly of the short
age of servants and the difficulty
of finding satisfactory help IN the
home. While most women 10 'lelr
own homework now, a large num-
her would have domestic helpers
if the same could be hired at
! oderai9 price.
Since the war it has been bard
t. find them. Many women regret
the immigration restriction that
shuts off the Poles, Swedes, Firms,
etc, many of whom used to help
ir the kitchen. The wealthy get
servants by paying high price,
but find that girls frequently re-
fuse to do more than one line az
work, and will take positions orhy
as a cook or Second girl.
The women of the future Who
desire "girl for general house
work" may have to take a different
type of person. In the past her
maid wa. apt to live entirely separ-
ate from the family. Often she had
to work long and irregular hours.
If she was foreigner she might be
content with her own independent
life, but apparently this kind of
help will cut off for many years.
To induce American born wom-
en- and girls to become house
workers, employment conditions
must be as attractive as in stores
and factories. Many homes secure
them by taking them into their
family life and assuring them a
reasonable degree of recreation
time.
Many housewives complain that
they can't find help that will do
any hard work. This spirit was
aggravated by war conditions, but
eventually people will learn they
must work to accomplish any
thing. Many women are much
better fitted to homework than to
business. If conditions are made
reasonably attractive, they should
not let any old prejudice keep
them from an occupation that
should be thankful and comfort
able.

Looks As If Yanks Are in Again;
Only Dumb Luck Can Help BrotDns

1t must win all the time, practi-
cally, while the Yanks may slip
once or twice. The play of De-

York will mean much. Ii these
two western teams tight New York

morale that the taking of the St

then it is all over for the New
Workers.
The first game of the worlds
series, it is reported from Chicago,
is to be played in New York Oct. 4,
the Giants having won the toss. 1t
was perfectly proper to start plans
at this time because it is a ire
mendous task to get ready for the
series. There is little doubt about
the success of the Giants. Ii they

ity.
With only fortnight to goit seems
as if Bush of the Yankees will
stand alone among the pitchers OF
both leagues in one respect. He
has won Is games according to to-
days unofficial figures. He has lost
six. No other pitcher of Bushs
rank has lost less than 10.
Distinction for Bush.
1t will be quite distinction for
Bush if he can keep his maximum

EAST MOLINE
next FOE Of
HIGH SCHOOL

By NAT GEISMAR.

It's East Moline next. The foot.
ball warriors from up the stream
will be the next foes of the hirb
school gridders. 1t is reported that
Coach Heimbeck has built up
team of excellent calibre at the
East Moline school and it is ex-
pected that his team will make a
fine showing.
Football fans are all not lined
up with the idea of playing East
Moline. True. the casters have not
startled the football world, but the
notion that they are easy to beat
is more of habit than q conyic-
ton.
All schools put out team extra
ordinary some time in their his
tory. East Moline is liable to null
the unexpected this year. II it IS
their turn, then the locals better
watch themselves.
The Islanders showed I'D prety
fair in the alumni game. but. of
course, more practice is necessary
before they work together. The
line was the strongest part OF the
team and with the proper coaching
should develop into a stone wall.
The backfield is the department
that may prove to give the most
troule Rinck is sure of the full
back job, but the rest of the posi-
lions are not yet settled. Reid and
Woodward both showed up about
even at quarter and perhaps Coach
Kimmel will alternate them at this
position. Woodward has also to be
reckoned with for this position, as
he showed up we'll before he In
jured his shoulder.
Anderson and Viner seem to be
ahead in the race for the halfback
jobs. Anderson is reliable punter
and this gives him quite an edge
on the other men. Viner went well
against the alumni and as he has
plenty to learn he ought to improve
with practice. He has fight and is
willing to mix at all times.
1t will be interesting to watch
what method Coach kimmel will
use to score the extra point after
touchdown. The rule this year is
that the team making the touch
down is given the ball on the five
yard line of their opponents and
from there, if, in one try, they
either cross the line, all legal meth
DDS counting, or score either by
dropkick or by place kick, they are
given one point. If the team with
the ball makes a foul they lose
their chance for the point; if the
defenders foul the point is counted
whether or not goal has been
made.
Most of the teams will probably
try to gain their extra point by
kicking. but the absence of re-
,, liable drop or place kicker on the
Islander team makes this form al
! most out of the question.

New York, Sept. 19.-Manipulat-
ing his pitchers unsatisfactory
cost F'ohl his position as manager
of the Clevelands. 1t may cost St.
Louis the championship of the
American league race. The cow
ardly game of pitcher shifting has
taken much out of the stamina OF
baseball.
The last minute figures of today
showed that New York's chances
for hogging the worlds series are
brighter. The Yanks have 10 games
left to play and the Browns nine.
If the Yapks, with lead of a game
and a half before Tuesdays battle at
Detroit win six games, the Browns
must take eight of their nine. II
the Browns win seven and the
Yankss only five of the remaining
10, then the Browns cop.
Almost as fateful as the deciding
game of a worlds series was that
played by the Browns and the
Yanks at st. Louis Monday. 1t was
won by New York by the dispense
ton of that quality of good luck
which the winners insisted they
lacked when they played the Giants
in 1921.
The Browns went into the ninth
in the lead. Then came a spas
modic pitcher shift because two
were on bases. A warm pitcher
was removed for new one-and
the game was lost right there.
