 After the games were over came the hour for the big watermelon cutting, which took place on the lawn of the cottage.
 The great. juicy melons were do- mated to the happiness of the chill dren by that man who is doing so many good things for Birminghanl- Arthur Greenwood.
 Samuel Brown of Pratt City brought each one of the children an ice cream cone, too. Just in the midst of all this fun, up came Mr. Baird, photog- rapher for The Age-Herald, who got the whole group in 8 picture.
 Here's the finest part of the story. It Is planned to have one of these parties every week, and you can help make them success by just lending your ear for one afternoon. If you will do this. all the little blind chill dren in Birmingham can attend, and not one of them will be left out.

PHIL is SHIELDING
GUILTY. SAYS WIFE
Mrs. Douglas Says He Is Goat,
but Refuses to Implicate
Others.

Phil Douglas, the barred pitcher.
would not come out of his shell yester-
day. He shut himself in his room at the
Douglas apartment at No. 145 Wads
worth avenue, and would not meet re-
quests for statement on his position.
However. Mrs. Douglas spoke for the
big right handler. She was sad. discon-
solate. but hopeful that the father OF the
family would be given another chance.
Phil refuses TO talk. / have urged
him to tell who was behind this sad
mess. but he refuses. He says that he
has been made the goat said Mrs.
Douglas. Il have urged him to name
the guilty one or the guilty persons, il
more than one there are. But he refuses
on the ground that while theT have
taken advantage of his good nature he
will not implicate anybody. He says, If
! mention names somebody else will get
into trouble and ] don't want TO do
that So you see 1t Is a difficult situa
ton for us.
Il am certain that Phil did not do this
thing. l know that he is the victim OF
a frameup. He is not capable of fraud.
But since he declines to come out and
tell everything to clear himself / don't
see what we can do but wait and hope. /"

of thu letter in support OF his cortention
that Douglas was not approa ched with

"PHIL DOUGLASS
This letter Is dated August Z, and was
written on the stationery of the New

are about to the effect that there might
be a gambling ring such as the one that
corrupted the White Sox-Rcds series
and the statement made by Douglas
that he had been approached by the
other player Judge Lands decided 10

is convinced that Douglas made the
offer without any solicitation from any

FORD APLANTS ON 4O-HOUR
WEEK

Adoption of the forty-hour week
as a permanent policy in all plants
of the Ford Motor Company has
been announced by Edsel B. Ford
president of the company. Under
the new plan the factories will be
closed Saturday and Sunday, and
about 5000 men will be added to
the force. The change will effect
approximately $4,000 employees who
will continue to receive the mini
mum Sc a. day wage, but will WORK
five S-hour days weekly. New en-
plOyes, however, will receive a mini
mum of SIS daily, the pre-war scale
In making the announcement, Mr.
Ford said he had reached the COR
clusion that the forty-hour week
was practical, that the additional
day of rest would prove a benefit te
the workers and that the production
schedules of the Ford industries
could be so arranged as to maintain
the present output on the curtailed
working week.

MARYLAND SEED WHEAT.
$4,000 Bushels Wanted In Illinois
For Fall Sowing.

For Fail Sowing.
Efforts will be made to fill from
the fields of Maryland wheat grow
ers this season what is probably the
largest single order for seed wheat
ever received in the State.
The seed is wanted by growers, in
two southern counties of Illinois
where the Flag Smut, disease
which occurs on the upper leaves of
the wheat plant and prevents the
head from emerging, is seriously
menancing the wheat crop.
Experiments which were tried out
in Illinois with thirty or forty differ
ent varieties of wheat led to the
conclusion that the disease could be
effectively controlled by the intro
duction of immune varieties. 1t was
found that Monmouth Red, which
is selection of the Fulcaster var
iety developed by the University OF
Maryland Experiment Station a
number of years ago, not only offer
ed immunity to the disease but pro-
duced the highest yields in Illinois,
as it does in Maryland.
So far as is known the Monmouth
Red variety is not found in guam
titles in any other state than Mary
land. Seed of this variety has been
distributed by the University of
Maryland Experiment Station dur
ing the last five years to forty-nine
growers in Maryland and an effort
will be made before harvest time to
trace the variety TO every farm in
the State which is now growing it.
According to the information
which ]. e. Metzger, agronomist for
the University of Maryland Expert
ment Station, has received from the
Illinois Agricultural Society and the
Illinois Extension Service, the re-
quirements of the two counties for
which the seed is sought will total
10000 bushels for fall sowing.
Wheat in these two counties, it is
said, makes up 40 per cent of the
farm acreage and the annual crop
averages about 100000 bushels.
The price which will be paid for
suitable seed wheat will be substan-
TALLY above the market quotations.
The Maryland Experiment Station
and Extension Service will make eff
forts to locate as much of the Nam
mouth Red variety as possible. Be-
fore it. is accepted for shipment,
however, it will be inspected care
fully in the field ond afterward to
make sure that it is true to type and
free from such foreign seed as corn
cookie, garlic and rye.
