Joe Harris Is Slow.
Joe Harris, formerly OF the Cleve-
land Indians. who is doing a come
back with the Boston Red Sox, en-
joys a joke even if it is at mis- own
expense.
Slowness Of foot kept Harris from
being rated a real star. Always a
good fielder and a great hitter, Joe's
dogs" as he always referred to his
pair Of bad feet, kept him from
achieving greater heights on the bal.

Flatfootedness at one time threat

of years spent in the army greatly
improved his physical condition
The Boston Red Sox. who trained
at Hot Springs this year, have prov
ed they can hit. There isn't much
speed on the club. In commenting
on this feature, the lack OF speed,
Harris has always been the target
for the rest OF the team
When Joe gets on. and he is on
most of the time. the bases are
clogged,' is the way the Red SOx
put it. NO wonder they call US
slow"
Recently. in returning 20 the hotel
after one of the exhibition games
Harris. in the lead, noticed a sign
reading:
SLOW moving teams keep TO the
right" Joe figured this was his
chance to even up.
This way. fellows" yelled Harris
as he swerved off TO the right on the
new course, "the folks down this
way know all about the Red Sox."

SIX SHOP GRAF Is
TAKE. STRIKE VOTE

As a result Of deliberation lasting
several days, six shop crafts and the
Switchmen's union have voted to
submit strike ballot to their men,
bership, says the Sparks Tribune.
The vote of 100000 members Of
the crafts will be taken. The griev-
ances arising as a result of the con-
tract system lie at the bottom of
the trouble.
IF there is a strike, and I feel
sure our men will vote solidly for
it, it will be in protest Of the ac-
tions of railways in ignoring the de-
cision Of the United States labor
board" said B. M. Jewell, president
Of the Railroad Employees depart
ment.
The labor board has pending sew
eral complaints against the contract
OF framing out system. It has
been expected a decision would be
rendered soon after the conclusion
Of the present wage hearings.
"The carriers arbitrarily have re-
duced wages in defiance of the
board" said Jewell. "They have
resorted to the piece work system
and resorted to the farming out
system which is a mere subterfuge
by which they dodge the labor board
decisions.
"A year ago our membership was
overwhelmingly in favor of war in
protest Of the IL per cent reduc-
ton already then announced and
given effect last July. When the
date came, however, we favored
peace because of assurances given
by the labor board that no further
wage reductions would be considered
for some time.
"But this time, I am sure, the
issue will come to q showdown. So
far as we are concerned it is q fight
for existence"
Jewell said the wording Of the
strike ballot was not yet deter
mined, but that the question was
simply-whether to strike or not to
strike. He added that the ballots
would be sent out soon, that the re-
suit Of the vote should be known
within sixty days.

SAYS DEMOCRATS GUILTY OF
MOST UNIDENTIFIED RIDIcULE

George Wingfeld, republican ma.
tional committeeman from Nevada
in Washington last week, thinks
that some Of the democratic leaders
both in and out Of congress, are
making a serious mistake in the
methods which they have adopted
in their opposition to the present
administration. "In the first place.
he said, "some leading democrats
have initiated, and the smaller fry
are following, campaign of the
most undignified ridicule when dis
cussing the actions and policies of
the republican majority. This &C.
ton on the part Of the democrats
is likely to have a reaction which,
from their point of view, will not be
very desirable. Already there have
been instances where their ridicule
has been directed toward policies
which were favored by large ma
jorities of the people, and this has
not tended to increase democratic
prestige. 1t makes them look more
like mere petty fault finders, dis
gruntled because they are out Of
power"

HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH
Is DEATH VALLEY, CALF

{ Ten years of records obtained n
the United States weather bureau
substation at Greenland ranch in
Death Valley, Calf, indicated that
this is the hottest region in the
United States, and probably on
earth. The average Of extreme
maximum temperature reported to
the United States department Of
agriculture since 1911 has been
1875 degrees fahrenheit. At Green
land ranch temperatures Of 100
degrees fahrenheit or higher occur
almost daily during June, July, and
August. The hottest month on
record is July, 1917, when the mean
temperature was 1912 degrees fab
renheit. But the temperature of
1874 degrees fahrenheit observed on
July 10, 1918, is believed by meteo-
rologists to be the highest natural
air temperature ever recorded with
standard test thermometer ex-
posed in the shade under approved
conditions.
Death Valley is from 2 to
miles wide and about 100 miles
long, lying between high mountain
ranges. It is the deepest depression
in the United States, some estimates
placing its lowest point at 3S7 feet
below sea level. Greenland ranch
is 178 feet below sea level. White
people find the midsummer heat
intolerable, and even the Indians
go up to the Panamint Range dur
ing July and August.
The normal annual precipitation
in Death Valley is less than 2
inches. Successful agriculture can
not be maintained on less than 10

Palmer and Francis P. Garvan oc-
cupied that office, says the Wash.

Colonel Thomas w. Miller, pres

King resolution, forwarded to the
senate a $500 page report detail
ing how democrats, most Of them
active in the party councils, vir-
tually monopolized the choicest
berths at the disposal Of the admin
istration in representing litigants
in cases coming before the alien
property custodian.
Congress was informed that prior
to March 4, 1921, when President
Harding took Office, $2,138,546.93
was paid in attorneys fees. The
larger fees went to . selected
group. Payments Of fees for legal
services rendered to corporations
taken over by the government were
made with the approval Of the Gus
