RABBIT BALL IS HERE TO STAY,
 SAYS WALSH

NEW YORK, Dec. 27. = The 50. called "jackrabbit," or lively ball. is in baseball to remain, all accounts of it's proposed demise being premature, not to say greatly exaggerated.
 This much on the more or less valid assurances of Judge Landis and John A. Heydler, who either know what they are talking about or carbolic acid Is a very excellent mouth-wash. Both speaking semi-of ficially, have declared that no legis- lation looking toward the removal of the rabbit has been contemplated and none will be they further state.
 T think the majority of the fans favor free hitting" Judge Landis said upon the occasion of a recent visit to New York, land I see no reason to curb something that has become a distinct feature of the game. The shout that goes up from the stands every time someone hits home run should be amply convincing as to the sentiment of the public on this sub ject. I have yet to hear anyone hiss a home run '.
 And, we might add, the Judge would grow long ears waiting for any good play on ball field to be hissed. The absence of such dem- onstration proves less thin nothing, however.
 A home run is an individual feat just as are the strike out, the stolen base, a running catch in the outfield and countless features of a ball game. They are not hissed, but that doesn't prove either their popu- larity or unpopularity. A player may be hissed for what he represents to the stands, never for what he ac- complishes on the ball field.
 However, we digress. Heydler also stands firmly behind the rab- bit, which means that the National League is for it as a body. Ban John son is the only dissenter, and he is by no means unalterably opposed to it. Ban would have home-run zones esta blished in certain parks, but the silence that greets his suggestion is almost deafening.
 As matter of fact, the magnates are virtually unanimous in their opin- ion that the slugging game is a per manent institution with the fans and as such not to be tempered with. It's only real enemies are a few manag- CTS and all pitchers.
 The remarks of Landis and Heyd- Ter would seem to have effectually disposed of all talk of hitting reforms to be instituted at the impending major league meetings. Even the sug- gestion that pitchers be given greater latitude in the matter of deliveries appears to have few friends.

BOSTON, Dec. 27.-Boston girls
 have declared war on the flirt. That their crusade may have the semblance of united action they have adopted as
 an insignia a button on which is de-
 picted a lizard impaled on a hatpin.
 Whether the boys with the patent leather hair may expect similar fate is not stated by the fair crusaders. Leaders of the movement state there is no membership limitation and no dues.

BRAIN i WAVES HELP
 DULLARDS

LONDON, Dec. 27. . The "dunce cap" of the future may become a symbol of intellectual advancement rather than the crown of educational opprobrium.
 By the simple process of electrifi- cation the headgear that once was an indication of stupidity or mental in dolence may be transformed into an intellectual accelerator.
 It is the belief of Dr. Bernard Hollander, eminent specialist, that the brains of backward students may be effectively jagged up" by the proper application of electric cur rents. Brain waves" turned loose in a schoolroom, pr. HoIlander believes, will so stimulate the mental process of the dullards that they will soon be moving toward the head of the class instead of tagging along at the foot.
 In a recent address before the congress of the British Chronological Society Dr. Hollander described ex- periments which he declared had demonstrated the efficiency of cleo tric currents in stimulating mental endeavor. He expressed the belief that galvanism applied to certain regions of the head has the effect of improving mental power. Experi- 'ments he had conducted, Dr. Hol- lander said, resulted in backward or indolent students succeeding in examinations in which they previous ly had failed.
 Discussing the subject of phen- ology, pr. Hollander asserted that leading anatomists have acknowl- edged that the skull is moulded upon the brain and grows with it." The size and shapa of the head, he

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 27. - Recog nized as political factor to be reck oned with in the near future the Fas cisti movement has made rapid strides throughout Mexico in the past few weeks. At it's inception at Ja- lapa several months ago the move ment was ridiculted as of little i'm portance, but 1t has now reached the stage where it is regarded with in creasing respect.

contended, conform for all practi-
 cal purposes to the size and shape of the brain. Size of the head how ever, is not necessarily a measure of the intellect, according to Dr. Hol- lander. Even a capacious fore head" he said, does not signify su-
 perior intellectual attainments, for it may be merely an empty ware house which had never been stocked
 with knowledge"

OIL ROYALTIES
ARE REASONS FOR
LEAGUE IN STATE

Why should the Nonpartisan League
be seeking political control of Wyo-
ming, if 1t is a purely farmers organ
ization, since farming is not fully de-
veloped in this state? Why do they o
center their efforts on Nebraska, Kan
sas or states of that kind?" asks one
who appears not TO understand the
real purpose Of this movement.
The Nonpartisan League is not an
organization in the interest of farm
ers; ii cares nothing whatever for the
ultimate good of the farmers; its
whole purpose right now is, first, to
get money from the farmers to secure
an organization, and then, second, to
use these farmers ~ a Political way to
sput socialists and communists into of
fice-the favored system being TO
steal the name of one of the old line
parties.
Efforts have been conferred ON Wyo-
ming because political ontro of the
state would give access to oil royal
Ties which u N into the millions. Fur
ther political control would give an OPP
portunity L force added burdens on
the oil companies in the way of spe-
cial x that would greatly increase
the revenue. Once in control of this
revenue-present royalties and what
might be further secured through ad-
|ditional taxes-would put the social
lists and communists in charge of a
large fund TO extend their work into
other states.

Leaal to chsnn. ons,s Name.

Many people !.vvp the names they have inherited nOt because they have any special affection for them, but be- cause they do not realize how easy it Is to get rid of them. They are un- der the impression that they would have to take the matter to court when sas a matter of fact, all they have to do would be to make the announce ment. The possession of the name changing privilege was definitely con tirmed in New York state in the case of Smith versus State Casualty con- pany when Judge Vann, who handed down the opinion, quoted an historical example to subStantate it.
 "A predecessor of H0nOre de Bal Zac," he wrote. was born GueZ, which means beggar, and grew to man. hood under that name. When he be- came conscious of his power As a writer he did not wish his works to be published under that humble name. so he selected the surname of Balzac from an estate that he Owned."--Frederic J. Haskn in Chicago Daily News.

ANTS OvERRUN LOVELY ISLE
Pests From Argentina Have Complete Iy Wiped Out Bird Life in Madeira
 Spread Plant Disease.

L, R. I.efrOy, featuring at the British Royal institute the other day, men toned that the Argentine ant has spread over half the world since 1897.
 He gave an example of the mischief wrought by the ant ip the fact that it has completely wiped out the birds of Madeira by eating their nestlings.
 Only those who have lived In 8 country OVerrun by ants knOw"the full horror of 1t.
 The hOuSekeeper must reckon, as a necessity of annual expenditure, car bOlic acid, petroleum and other pro- tectives against the all-pervading in sects,
 Every table, every bed must stand with it's legs in little tins of petroleum, or the ants will swarm up.
 Mothers anXiOusly visit the cradles of their babies to see that no bed clothes are touching the floor, or a black string of ants will be seen hur- rying up the bridge" at once.
 You can never leave any article of food unprotected anywhere in Madeira, or it would be swarming with ants in few minutes.
 The ants have not only introduced into Madeira the greenfy, which all the world knows they milk like cows. but they have also brought with them the horrible plant diseases of scale and black rust
 These have killed off many orange and coffee trees, and the pOmegranate has completely disappeared from the island.
 But even this devastating insect has one good quality. The ant is an ex- Cellent scavenger.

WHEN THEY WORE IRON DU0S

It was Thursday afternoon in the armor room of the Metropolitan Mu' scum of Art Perhaps this explained the presence there of two dOmeStIcs Twenty-Five years ago they w"ulo have been known as servant girls and their appearance would have Sug gested their calling. But today they are dumeSticS and as for their looks the casual observer, particularly if ht were d man, could not have told then frrln their employers.
 Their hats were just as stylish anC their Silk-clad ankles Were-but why go into details?
 Just why they were i'll the armOl room Is some ething of q mystery, fnl they wandered from ease to case in aI aimlesS sort of way, thoroughly dlSlh terested in everything they saw. Fi nany they paused before IifesiZe fig ure clad in fl full suit of urm0r. Theil interest was aroused, but this interest was of the entire practical sort.
 The fine workmanship, its antiquity the beauty of the silver traced de signs which covered each piece of the steel suit, all these were lost upon them.
 Tt must be a terrible heavy thing to wear" observed one, whose speech like that Of her friend, suggested the Irish Free State.
 An the trouble of keepin it clean the rust an everythin'" suggested the other.
 Do you suppose men iver wore such thingsT queried the first with an ail 0f lncredulity.

Much Natural Gas Wasted.

Of natural gas we burn usefully in a year fully S00,OO0, ,O0U,000 cubic feet equivalent to the heating value of 40,- 100000 tons of coal, aud something like S,0O0,00O families are directly benefited by il in cooking, heating and lighting.
