THE TOWN HOME.

row night when there will he a special
 session Of the common council to acl
 upon the recommendation of the
 board Of charities ms to the awarding
 of contract for the erection Of a
 new building for women at the town
 home. every member of the common
 council should visit the town home and look into the situation there. fl it is humanly possible for such mem- bcrs to do so. They Should do this not because thero may be delay in awarding the contract for the new building. but because they should come to that meeting prepared to give intelligent information as to the present condition there and to urge that something be done about it im- mediately if conditions are as bad as pictured. There should be no red tape about this, there should be i'm mediate action.
 Councilmen Crusberg. F. A. Johnson and Walter Falk are to be commended for visiting this place as they have done. It is necessary only to talk ! with one of them to be convinced that something must be done if 1t is only ! to stop up the cracks through which the wind blows, or if it is necessary only to put in a stove to warm the women out there whose only home is there and who, to the sensitive seem so utterly friendless at this moment
 Blame may be placed on one man, on the board of charities, or on the council.
 The real blame, however, is upon the prevalent sentiment in the city against spending any money where the spending of it may be avoided.
 The question of to what concern the contract for building should be awarded is comparatively small matter compared to the keeping com fortable of the women at this "home," | now.
 Whatever is done in regard to the | awarding of that contract, the place where they are now living should be made habitabe and warm.
 The school board of the city dreads to come before the council asking for money. The charity board undoubt- edly hates to ask for money. Boards and individuals want to make good record. Making a good record is synonomous with making economical record. ON matter what expenses are avoided, seems to be the sentiment of many people, an Economical manage ment" will bring praise from the powers that rule the city. The boards primarily are not to blame; individ- uals are not so much to blame al ways. The thing to blame is the in cessant demand no money be spent where it can be saved.
 The Herald" has been strong for , economy; it has accentuated the men ace of increasing taxation. But the "Herald' has said continually that no saving should be made at the expense of the children of the city nor at the expense of the old people unfortunate , enough to have to live at the town z home.
 The mayor has called special session" of the council. He did well , to make this special session. Let the i members of the common council be q strong enough to be insistent in their r stand that those women at the town fl home be made comfortable, not when il the new building goes up, but now! .

ls RalaFslls ineliasd to pick tAs diaai
 nq mslisE shat the deFsf Is Tn
 wish that the Giants may win Is likel
 to be father to lhe thought that the
 will win. So this prejudice must h
 taken into consideration,
 There must be taken into consider
 stisn, also, that here are two eTenll
 matched baseball teams and ene O
 them has son two years in succession
 The doctrine Of chances indicates thai
 they will not win again, if picking th'
 winner between two teams ia baseball
 were ike betting on the "red el
 black" al roulette, one would he in'
 elined 10 switch now from the color
 that has heen winning and bel on inc other, One would niek the Yankees and he quite sure that the picking would be good,
 But baseball Is different There is reason in il, Aside from the ''hreaks Of the game" which may turn q short series of this sort against p.e dope" there should be basis upon which 10 lsure the probabilities As to the doctrine of chances there is really no reason why the past performances of the Yankees and Giants should he eon- sidered as favoring the Yankees, II is best, therefore, 10 look at the proba' biiities without considering the fact that the Yankees have been tho losers for two successive years
 The Yankees arc the favorites, sentimental. it is believed. and practi- cal, It may be predicted that outside the offices of the Herald" on the street. there will come from the great crowd gathered to hear the returns of each play. more cheers for the Yankees than for the Giants. Practi- cally the Yankees arc the fayorites because people look for Ruth to come through with at least one or two spectacular home runs, possibly with men on bases, which will win those games. The Yankees supposedly stronger pitching staff is considered another reason for predicting that the Yankees will win.
 But in the final analysis it is Ruth upon whom the packers of the Yankees pin their faith-and Ruth knows it. ItJ-this confidence--is pretty big burden for man so young as Babe to carry.
 On the other hand the packers of the Giants pin their faith principally on John McGraw, a much older man who is accustomed to assuming re- sponsibilty. He revels in it. He will brook no interference. McGraw knows this, but it is no burden too heavy for him.
 So it is seen that there is more in | this discussion than a mere considera- ton of game or few games of baseball. It comes down to general principle, whether it is better to rely lpon physical prowess of a young man who, at best, will have only an occa- ;ional chance to do or die," or wheth- IT it is better to rely upon the brains and intelligence of another much older man, accustomed to re- and who has made his uccess because he has assumed all uthority, and who will be directing hings every moment of the play. He will be on the job every moment; suth only when chances come to him,
 If, therefore, the breaks of the anne are at all even, we, prefer to ely upon those brains which will be ack of the Giants. There,.we gone nd done it and we might as we'll add nat our thirty cents will be on the -iants to win the series. And that pinion may be worth just about thir- 7 cents. Ii

Further investigation into the ordi- nance governing auction sales will be taken by George w. Yancey, rep resenting the Jewellers association and c. D. Ritter. attorney for the |. R. Rubenstein estate, after a lively meeting at an adjourned session of the city commission Thursday morn ing, in which Yancey stated the jewellers of the city protested against the feeding" of the stock of goods of the l. R. Rubenstein Jewelrv com pany estate which is being auctioned off at the companys store, 1926 Third avenue, north.
 After much discussion at the meet ing, it was suggested by Frank Spain, attorney for the Lynch estate that an executive conference be held between the jewellers. and c. D. Rit- ter. as the good will of the firms, was ference in the afternoon, it was de- cided by the commission to have the attorneys investigate the law and suggested another conference with the commission at 8 later date.
 The morning meeting was featured with lively arguments and hot re- butals from both attorneys. Yaucey declared that the jewellers did not condemn the auction sale of the Ru- test against goods which were bought before the sale to fill up the stock. He stated the present stock had been sold to New York auc- tioneers. Yancey declared that Rit- ter knew the law. and the jewellers would not object to the sale if the filled in stock were eliminated.

He said that Mrs. Ru- benstefn authorized purchase of $4.000 worth of goods before the auc- tion sale, and that this was done to carry the more expensive goods which would be put on sale. Mrs. Rubenstein will have to take over the stock and dispose of it the best way possible, if the auctioneers are in terferred with, Ritter remarked. He stated MT. Rubenstein died recently and left the store in the hands of his widow, and that F. M. Lynch another jeweler. died recently and left his store, and that it was im- possible for the widows to carry on the business successfully. A similar plan for disposal of the Lynch hold ings, have been under consideration. but the deal had been called off when the jewellers protested, Ritter stated. and that many of the jewellers he had consulted had told him that it would not be profitable to have the sale if under priced goods were in- clded in the action.

Commencing Friday morning re- gistered letters passing through Bir- mingham will not have to be checked at the postoffce following their ar rival at the Terminal station and be- fore departure from the Louisville and Nashville railroad depot, as has been the custom heretofore under the postal regulations.
 On account of the establishment of an office at the Terminal station for this purpose the trip to the office will be eliminated.
 The establishment of the office at the Terminal. according to Postmas- ter R. B. Smyer, will reduce the heavy mails which come in daily. congesting the traffic in the Bir- mingham postoffice.
