end. Stephen Brice is almost too perfect.
The author speaks feelingly of the anxiety
of noveists to avoid this danger. Vir-
ginia's character is perhaps better done,
because easier to endow with attractive
failings. Judge Whipple and Colonel Car
vel are admirably drawn.
The story weaves in an accurate and
valuable description of the causes of the
war and of the kind of people that fought
the war. St. Louis the confluence of the
two streams of Western immigration from
the North and the South, was the place to
study the mixing but conflicting elements
of our people before the Civil war. 1t was
the authors home. He reveals their faults
and their virtues with impartial pen. He
maintains the just balance. He avowedy
and really takes the Lincoln view of the
contest, which, as he truly says, has now
become the American view both North
and South.
The picture of Lincoln is inspiring. The
glimpses of Sherman, Grant and Lyon are
vivid and true to life.
The book is written in most entertain
ing style. 1t is charming and sustained in
its interest as love story. 1t is a great
historical novel.-(Condensed from "The

BASEBALL

In five inning contest with the Brown
and Bigelow baseball tossers from St. Paul,
nine free passes and eleven safeties that
were aided by six errors, tells the story of
how the visitors suffered the overwhelming
defeat of IL to count.
The visitors being late to arrive on
scheduled time, caused the game to be
called at the end of the fifth inning.
Nell, who pitched the game for the
locals, had everything his own way and
it was no fault of his that he was not
credited with complete shutout. The
visitors got their two lonely scores, off
his deliveries, in the early chapters of the
game. One run was made in the first
frame when Thomson pounded out three
Dagger and scored on Dts wild throw to
the plate. The other score was made in
the second round, after Hoeling and Young
had struck out. Charney was passed on

balls and he was successful in scoring
from first on Lynch's two-bagger, when
Eos dropped the thrown ball at the
plate that would have retired the side and
chopped off the run. After that the locals
frightened up and the visitors had only
one man to reach first in safety. Nell
struck out a total of eight men, passed one
on balls and allowed four bingles.
H. Juelich, who opened up the game as
the visitors mound artist, proved to be
very wild and besides he was hit quite
freely. During the two and two-thirds
innings he was in the box, he allowed six
hits, passed five on balls and hit one bats
man, which resulted in seven runs being
charged to him. Havlish, who pitched the
remaining two and one-third innings, had
poor success in keeping the locals from
scoring. He allowed five hits, passed
two on balls, and hit one batsman. He
struck out three batsman, while his pre-
decessor struckout only two.

HOW LONG DOES A BALL
PLAYER LAST?

Here today, gone into oblivion tomor-
row; laurels and plaudits of multitudes to-
day, tomorrow don't remember him."
this is the fate of the baseball-player. How
= long does ball-player last? How long
may he expect the hold on the public af-
fections (and their wallets) to continue?
Briefly, says writer in the Nezv York Sun,
as long as they continue on the up grade
in performances. And this is only a mat
ter of physical endurance, and the gen.
eral care they take of themselves. Too
often good player is overworked by the
exigencies of his team, or by accidents
happening to other players, so that the
ability which should have carried him
through four or five years leaves him
stranded high and dry on the shoals of
the "done for" at the end of single sea-
son. Yet there are men playing in the
strongest clubs in the country who have
been on the diamond for more than ten
years, though we are told that this is by
far the exception rather than the rule.
Usually the life of player is only five
years. During that time he sees himself
come up from the minors, unknown but
promising, then a good season, and favor
able write-ups then the gentle inflow of
inquiries among sportwriters whether Smith
is going to be back at second next year.
The next thing he. knows he is greeted
with cheers as he steps out to bat and the
papers carry huge heads telling of his
glory and prowess. A few years go by,
and one day he makes poor play; he
follows it with a poor game. He is taken
out, and the unknown young fellow just
in from the "bush-league" is given a
chance.
The next milestone is the day when he
plays an unconscionable game, and is hooted
at from the stands. Then he is traded or
sent to the minors. And it is generally
Cnly a few seasons before he is out for all
time! The crowds who cheered him have
forgotten him. He has played his part and
passed. But there are exceptions-at least
exceptions in the point of view of the time
they last.

COMBUSTION ENGINES
By Mr.. L. B.

What should an engine weigh according
to the power developed and for the service
for which it is used? This is one of the
important questions to be considered by
the designer and mechanical engineer in
the building of an internal combustion
engine.
In stationary gas engines the weight per
horse power runs very high. The two
cylinder double acting four cycle engine,
for blast furnace gas fuel, made in sizes
up to 1000 h. p. which operate at 80 to
100 r. p. M, weigh 900 pounds per h. p,
while the two cyclinder opposed gas en-
gine of $50 to $50 h. p. which operate at
go to 100 r. p. m. weight from 500 to 900
pounds per h. p.
The Stationary Diesel engine of $50 to
500 h. p. with a speed of 200 r. p. m.
will weigh $50 to 500 pounds per h. p.
while the marine type of four cyclinder
will weigh only $50 pounds per h. p. The
stationary vertical gas engine weighs ap-
proximately 800 pounds per horse power
for the two cylinder four cycle type. The
average gas engine used on the farm, the
stationary one cylinder type, will average
$50 pounds per h. p. The average trac-
tor engine of the two cyclinder, four
cycle type will weigh IS pounds per h. p.
for engines of 800 to 1000 r. p. m. The
average four cyclinder automobile engine
weighs IS pounds per h. p. while the
eight cylinder only weighs IS pounds per
h. p. The six-eight or twelve cylinder
water cooled aviation engine, either tan
dom or V form with speed of 1900
r. p. m. direct coupled, or 1000 r. p. m.
geared drive to the propeller, weighs four
to six pounds per h. p., and the seven,
nine, fourteen, or eighteen cylinder revol-
wing type with speed of 1900 r. p. m.
weighs from two to 2.S pounds per h. p.
So you can see that the use to which the
engine is intended has great deal to do
with the amount of weights that can be
allowed. For example the two cyclinder
air cooled motor for motor cycles with
speed of 5000 r. p. m. weighs only 8 of
a pound per h. p; this is the lightest
weight per h. p. for an internal combus-
tion engine used in commercial practice.
The use of steel instead of cast iron
in the latest engines has been responsible
for the light weight in the engines of
today and we can expect motors of the
future to be lighter still.

RuNCovE :RNMENT
Federal Budget Submitted to
Congress Asks Lowest Yearly
Expenditure Since War.

Washington - President Harding
sent special message to congress
announcing that the federal budget for
the next fiscal year, beginning July 1,
1923, will be approximately $4,000, 0O0,-
000-the lowest yearly expenditure Of
the government since the days before
the war.
Praising the rigid economy which
the budget bureau has enforced dur
Ing the last year, the president point
ed out that the government is now
back to prewar DAYS in general ex-
peHditures. :,
OF the $4,000, ZOO, 900 asked, two can
be attributed to the war. He made it
plain that his administration will con-
tinue to fight for greater economy. The
president indicated that because near
ly two-thirds of the governments year
ly bill represent the fixed charge re-
sulting from the war, it will be diff
cult to reduce taxes in the near fu-
ture.
A surplus of $1So,969,1 25 in the gov
ernment's financial operations for the
next fiscal year was estimated, as COM
pared with a probable deficit this year
of $273,938,712.

recently acquired little brown note
book upon the following pages OF
which appear, in the cramped feminine
slant of the ffties, the expense records
Of a prominent pioneer household OF
St. Paul for 1857.
The reader of this domestic record
book virtually enters that home OF SIX,
ty-fve years ago, scans its appoint
ments, sits at its table, and explores
the intimacies of it's kitchen. Halfway
down the page for January, he finds
this item: ~ Box, 20 ID. Star Can
dies, $685." On February similar
purchase is recorded, as well as that OF
a pair of candle sticks. Grandmother
apparently used candles to light her
house, as generation after generation
of housewives had done before her.
But observe the next entry: clamp
chimney, 81 cents" So she wasn't SO
antiquated after all! But where is
the record showing the purchase OF
kerosene? To search for it is vain,
and the following entry gives the rca-
son: 81 gal. Sperm oil, $1.75." A long
look backward to 1857 from 1922!
Grandmother would as willingly have
had stick of dynamite in her home as
a quart of kerosen oil, for the lat
ter, which has just come on the mar
ket was causing many explosions. So,
in addition to candles, she used lamps
lighted by oil obtained from the sperm
whale in the Pacific ocean by New
Bedford whalers.
Among many other items of interest
in the account book may be noted
$2S9.75 for 43% cords Of wood; "10o
lbs. dear meat;' $40 lbs. Bear meat;
IL buffalo tongues for 5000; 81 yards

Improvement is Forecast by Secretary

Washington, D. C.-The still unsat-
fsfactory but slightly improved condi-
ton of the American farmer is brought
out BY Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace In his report to the President.
This might have been a prosperous
year for agriculture and for the ma
ton, says the secretary, but for the
distorted relationship between prices
received for farm products and the
prices paid for things the farmer must
buy. The physical basis Of prosper
ity, he says, is here-food in super
abundance and the raw material which
goes into various products, including
clothing-but the real satisfactions of
prosperity are still around the corner.
