writing In the Dearborn lnde.
! pendent of storms Un the Great
Lakes, correspondent asks and
then answers the question how
ships and men disappear without
leaving q trace. Superior is the
largest body of fresh water in the
world and its greatest depth is
700 feet. If a ship goes down in
that depth nothing is ever seen
of it again and if the crew goes
down with it the men stay there,
because the water is so cold at all
seasons their bodies do not come
to the surface.
Lakes Michigan and Huron
also are very deep in spots, but
not many ships have disappeared
utterly in those bodies of water.
Both lakes have claimed their
share Of lives and ships. but usu-
ally there is some trace-bits of
wreckage, an empty lifeboat bear
ing a vessels name or something
that tells ship has been lost.
The same applies to Lakes Erie
and Ontario.
An element with which vessels
on the lakes must contend is q
short choppy sea. The lakes do
not compare with the oceans in
depth. On the oceans, during
storms, the waves run high but
they are longer and easier for a
ship to ride. The short sharp
waves. OH the lakes pound the
boats severely, run high, too, in
a heavy gale; the difference in
length causes the hazard.
In the late autumn the lake
freighters have ice to contend
with and must fight their way
out OF jams. The boats are not
built for ice crushing and such
battles invariably damage them.
Winter navigation probably will
never become a practical fact on
he lakes. A few steamers try to
run on Lake Michigan the year
round, but a cold winter plays
bob with their schedules.
Winter navigation On this lake
has not been without misfortune,
for several boats and num5ep of
lives have been lost in the bust
ness. The most notable of the
Ice disasters happened a number
of years ago when the steamer
Chicora left Chicago for a Michi-
gan port across the lake, some IS
miles distant. The Chicora yam
ished with all on board-some so
persons. 1t was supposed that
she was crushed between-the foes
and went down.
Insurance companies will not
take a risk on vessels leaving
port after December l, and many
of them manage to get out with a
cargo just before midnight on
that date. If the boat is out four
or five days and is lost, the in
surance company pays. The atti-
tude of the insurance companies
illustrates what they think of
winter navigation on the inland
seas. In late years quite a num-
ber of vessels have Left ports with
cargoes after December /. Of
course they were not insured, and
if they met with misfortune the
owners stood to lose big sums.

York Legislator to Introduce Bill
for Public Schools.


for Public Schools.
The Reck Hill Evening Herald
Monday printed the following
news item:
Representative w. r. Brad
for of Fort Mill, who was again
chosen as York legislator in the
recent primaries, stated today to
a Herald representative that il
was his intention to press for leg
islation at the next session of the
General Assembly providing for
free text books for all the public
schools, up to and including the
fifth (seventh) grade.
"Mr. Bradford is an advocate
of free text books in the schools,
but is of the opinion that this is a
matter in which the public must
first be educated. He feels that
by trimming the expenses of the
State government here and there,
a sufficient amount can be cut
from the appropriation bill to
meet the cost of free text books
for the lesser grades. Naturally
he would like to see all grades in
the public schools covered and be-
lieves that it is only a question of
time until legislation will be pro-
vided whereby patrons Of the
public schools will not have to
buy books.
Naturally there are many de-
tails to be considered in drafting
the free text book bill and Mr..
Bradford is now gathering infor-
nation that will enable him to
prepare the measure. There is
entirely too much changing of
text books, Mr.. Bradford believes,
and with the State furnishing the
books there will be less tendency
to change. This year the change
in books has necessitated the dis
carding of thousands of books
ard an expenditure of thousands
of dollars by patrons of the
schools. In Rock Hill alone,
where the books are to be had at
State-fixed prices, the total ex-
|penditure for new books reached
an enormous sum, some families
having to pay from $6 to $50 for
the books used by their children.
During the past year there
has been more or less agitation
for free text books in the public
schools and the announcement by
Mr.. Bradford that he intends to
press such legislation will, no
doubt, cause those sponsoring
free text books for all the grades
to redouble their efforts and pre-
sent the matter before the Lgis-
lature in such light that the nee
essary legislation will easily 60
through. Superintendent Swear.
ingen has estimated that it would
take about a half mill levy to pnr-
chase the books for all the public
schools, which amount is far less
than the average school patron
has to pay out for books each
year.
"At the general election. the
people of the State will vote ON
on amendment to. the constitution
enabling the State Legislature to
exercise it's discretion in letting
the public printing. At present
the Legislature is required to let
this work by contract. In the
event the amendment is approx
ed by the people and ratified by
the Legislature, it would be pos
sible for the State to also arrange
for the printing of the text books
used in the primary grades, but
Mr.. Bradford states this is one of
the details to be decided later"

The board OF directors OF the
York County Fair association
held an enthusiastic meeting Sat
urday. General Manager Poag
announced that the fair grounds,
are in excellent condition for the
fair. New cattle stalls recently
have been built and the cattle
exhibit this year is expected to
be larger than that at previous
fairs. Practically everything is in
readiness for the fair, which is
less than a month off, the dates
being October l8, 19 and 20.
Instead Of having only one big
day at the fair as many fairs do
lis this section, it is planed to
have all three days of the York
county fair big days; but ss has
been pointed ont, this cannet be
done without the support and ceo-
operation Of the people Of the
county.

welfare Board Secretary Doesn't I
Like County Chain9anr.

n
welfare Board Secrstary Dossn't (
Like County Chaingang.
Reporting to the State Board
of Public Welfare on the condi-
ti0hs he found on q recent visit
to the York county chaingang,
jail and almshouse, II. c. Brear-
ley; assistant secretary of the
board, made the following state
mehts about these institutions:
'fDuring the past year the
York county chaingang has been
improved by the repairing and
rescreening Of the portable house
for the prisoners and by the con-
strpction of screened dining
reon for the guards and. of a
good portable kitchen. The au-
thcritles have also ordered an
additional supply of bed ticks
to make up for the present lack.
The general condition of the
camp was better than it has been
lOrt'SOme time past.
= At the time of this visit in
july SO men were sleeping in
the portable house, the whites and
negroes being separated only by
q wall three feet high. Only "a
beds were provided for the use Of
the SO men. In addition to the
opercrowding the ventilation of
this shelter is far from good and
on warm nights sleeping in it
must be far from comfortable.
The great need of the camp is for
proper sleeping quarters and for
the separation of the whites and
negroes as required by law. Until
they are provided the camp can
not be commended in spite of the
other. less important improve
ments.
"The York county Jail main.
itains its position Of being one Of
tho best small jails of the State.
The equipment is fair and is kept
IN coed condition, the food sup
piled is above the average and
the attitude of the management
~ excellent. During, the past
Hyesr rs new, blankets have been
fNNehaset and, the grounds i'm
proved A most commendale and
unnsual feature is the religious
services conducted every Sunday
aftsRnosncby o group Of ladies
from the town.
For the further improvement
OF this Jail it is recommended
that the prisoners quarters be
screened, that the building be all
of a type that can be easily wash
ed and the socalled debtors ,
room be properly fitted up for
the use Of prisoners by the install
lation of sewerage and heating
systems.
The York county almshouse
is easily one of the best institu-
tiOns of its kind. in the State.
The buildings and equipment are
very good and the management
of Superintendent Boyd is quite
commendable. At the time of this
visit its condition was even bet
ter than usual because of the
presence tof several inmates phys
ical3y able to do some work. The
food 'sapplieD is varied, whole
some, and we'll prepared.
Tbesqnarters Of all the inmates
should be screened to protect
them against lies and mosqui-
toes. In several places the con-
crete walls are giving way and

Standing of the CUBS.
Gy KING LAPkINS

Aided by a pair of circuit clouts
produced by Black and Rawlings
and nifty backing on the part of the
entire Blue SoX outfit, Hank Hui.
Vey Yesterday afternoon at Rose
most Park defeated Fred LOTUS,
mound ace of the Hanover club and
late of Connie Mack's Philadelphia
Athletics, in one of the prettiest
tWirling duels witnessed here in
long time, by the score OF 4 to ].
As a result of the victory and
frederick's defeat at the hands of
Morris Waynesboro aggregation
the SoX are today .perched on the
top Iung of the ladder by the mar
row margin of half a game.
The work of both pitchers was
stellar. At the outset Lotus looked
wonderful and even at the finale he
was going in fine style, although
he showed signs of weakening. His
speed ball, his curve and his con-
troll were practically faultless. HUI
Eey, on the other hand, looked
little better whom the curtain was
lowered at the conclusion of the
final act that at the beginning. His
curve and fast one were also work
ed successfully.
Black took the joy out of life for
LOTUS in the very first inning when
he knocked one over the board in
left field and circled the bases
with the initial marker OF the aft
ernoon's setto. After that neither
club was able to count until the
fifth when Mullen hit ball down the
right field foul line. Seaman made
a desperate attempt to get the pill
but failed and Mullen pulled up on
the keystone sack. He scored on
Bartels' second hit of the day.
In the very next inning Rawlings
knocked out his wallop. making the
count stand in favor of the Ship
men. Two more tallies were added
in the eighth on a base on balls to
Black, RAWLINGS single, Wilson's
single and wild throw by Keyser.
The game abounded with field
ing features the two best of which
We're plays by Brehany and Black.
The little shortstop, in the eighth
session, after Rothensies had trip
pied, stabbed a line that looked
like a sure hit, with his gloved
hand. Black, earlier in the contest
went way back Of second base,
caught a grounder and threw out
the batsmen. Score:
