Sisler is without a dangerous rival in
base stealing. He is showing his heels
to the contenders with string of thir-
ty-two thefts, while Ken Williams, the

twenty-one. Ruth is down in the list
with fourteen.

IN BATTLE WITH BAT
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO. July 15--Ty Cobb's chal-
lenge for the batting leadership of the
American League was no flash In the
pan. judging from averages compiled to-
day. which show the Detroit leader
closing the gap separating him from
George Sis!er, the st. Louis marvel. who
is leading the race with an average of
.420.
Cobb is just fourteen points behind
Sisler, as compared with thirty-one a
week ago. The noted Georgian's re-
nlarkable batting streak netted him
twenty hits in his last nine games, as
against twelve hits collected by Sisler
in eight games.

PROPER RATIO IN
AGRICUL TURE AND
INDUSTRY NEEDED
American Approaches Ad-
verse Foot Balance, De-
ClareS Official; Advises
Study Of Coming Problem

Washington, Jan. 26.-The Unit
led States is approaching a condition
of adverse food balance and must
decide whether to retain a proper
ratio between agriculture and in
dustry or permit the latter to take
dominant load at the expense Of
the former, DR.. +. y. Ball, director
of scientific work Of the depart
ment Of agriculture, declared in an
address today before the national
agricultural conference. The ma
tons balance between the two
fields of endeavor will he lost, he
warned. unless the tendency t.
ward industrial dominance Is
made one Of the major problems,
for national consideration.
THE critical period in which
determination must be made is
close at hand" he declared, adding
that the situation requires a COM
plete reorganization Of the national
life, since the problem of increas-
ing the food supply for an increas-
ing population must concern every
industry.
America, Or. Ball asserted, can
retain its commanding position in
world affairs only "ff she con-
tinues to grow and develop. and it
is for this nation as a whole to de-
eide" whether this shall be done.
1t is tremendously important to
the world" he added that the ma
tion holding such n position, be
democracy. The decision he said,
depends largely on agriculture "be-
cause national progress in the flu
ture must rest even more on the
food producing power than it has in
the past"

mittee to Consider Legal
Tangle Over Water Rights

portance Of devising and utilizing
some method of regulating the

emphasized today by DR.. c. c. Mcr-
rill, of the federal water power
commission, at the first meeting of
the Colorado river commission.
Representatives Of the seven states
interested in the question Of irriga-
ton and water power from the wa
ters Of the Colorado river met with
delegates from federal bureaus and
developments to discuss a program
for the conservation Of the waters to
meet the needs or various projects
DR.. Merrill expressed his person
al conviction that questions relating
both to water power and to irriga-
ton should be made secondary to
flood control.
His views were endorsed by A. P.
Davis Of the United States reclama-
ton service, who declared the riv-
er's overflow was a menace to the
existence of the Imperial valley in
California and to other important
irrigation projects.
A resolution offered by State |
Commissioner w. S. NorViel of Ari- |
iona, which would place control of |
the Colorado river under the COM |
mission, was referred to a commit |
tee after a warm discussion during
which some experts at the meeting |
declared adoption Of the resolution |

A quaint custom practiced in
Malekula, one of the largest islands
of the New Hebrides. is that of
winding a strong cord around the
head of each baby girl, in order to
alter the shape of the head. The
cord is wound over a piece of mat
ting placed on the child's skull.
The girl whose head Ia conical in
shape will marry we'll: whilst
should her parents have neglected
the winding and her head be of
normal shape. she will be likely
to remain an old maid.
