BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

George Mogridge, having oiled up
his recalcitrant pitching wing for
several days, trying it out against
the Fourth of July glove worn by
the veteran George Mooney Gibson
down in right field, expects to climb
the hill today and face the Cleve-
land Indians.
George has been Of small use to
the Griffmen this year. In his
second start he was hurt by a
savage drive from Joe Dugan's bat.
He suffered severe punishment a
couple Of times in the West and
since then has been warming the
bench and oiling up his wing. He
now SAYS he's ready.
Sherrod Smith, who was real
hurler for the Brooklyn Dodgers in
the National League, will probably
perform for the Indians. He has
been showing the real thing, as his
victory over the Mackmen last
week attests. They got three hits
off him.
with Mogridge and Smith in
form, the fans will be offered a

the Governrnent's step IN the war
on rum, it was officially disclosed
today.
President Favors It.
The President and his Cabinet. it
is known, favor such an expedient
az less expensive and perhaps more
effective than other means which
have been suggested in recent par
legs brought together to find some
solution for the smuggling problem.
The plan may be put into prae-
tica1 operation soon after the new
fiscal year begins July /. At that
time Commissioner Roy A. Haynes,
head Of the Governments rum fight
ing forces, will have a large lump
sum appropriation, upon which to
draw for emergency" purposes. II
this is not sufficient, officials are
in favor of doing everything needed
to equip powerful air fleet, and
let Congress later make up any
deficiency incurred.
Baked at use Of the United States
Navy, and disappointed over, the in
ability of the coast guard to cope
with the smugglers, prohibition
officials at once evolved the air
fleet scheme. It was at first con-
sidered as a means of dealing with
the situation in New York and New
Jersey waters. But as the. merits
Of the scheme were further weighed
it was considered most feasible OF
any suggestions yet made to drive
liquor smugglers off their bases all
along the entire Atlantic coastline.
Debate Size of Fleet.
Officials at this stage are debat-
ing the size of the proposed fleet.
They are agreed that concerted ef-
fort must be made before Congress
to- get authorization for fleet OF
enormous size It will be butt up
directly under the control of the
prohibition commissioner, and made
part Of his unit, If legislation now
being considered Is passed by Con-
gress.
The unquestioned value Of the
planes as scouts, linked with their
great speed would make them the
| most serviceabe type of rum chaser
the Government could put into play,
Dry leaders in both the House
and Senate who have been consult
ed are enthusiastic over the scheme
Many of them suggested that Con
gress should be urged to make a
| SO, 100000 appropriation for This
purpose alone. exclusive of all
! other moneys allotted for prohibi.
ton enforcement.

Gals of Sing Sing prison show that
the convicts enjoy as good or better
health than persons at liberty, that
the profits of the prison industries

improving.
During the year there were but
eight natural deaths in Sing Sing, or
an average of 8 per cent" said the
warden's report This compares very
favorably with vital statistics outside
of prison. The best week in the his
tory of New York city, in September,
showed a death rate of eight to thou

Excellent order has been the rule
during the last year, and the morale
of the men has been most satisfactory.

BEAUTIFUL TEMPLE SHOWN IN
POLA NEGRPS "BELLA DONNA

Travellers who have visited Carlo
and the lower regions of the Nile will
find in Pola Negri's first American
picture, bella Donna" which comes
to the Kenworthy theatre next Mon
day and Tuesday, more of the real
Egypt than they were ever privileged
to see during their actual visits.
According to Dudley Stuart Corlett,
special technical adviser and a noted
Psychologist, real Egypt can only be
found far from the points of con-
tact with European civilization. In
asmuch as bella Donna calls for
the Egypt of the Egyptians, Corlett
has supplied the picture with genu-
inc and little known scenic back
grounds.
Perhaps the most beautiful and
slightly known is the temple of Abu
Simbel in upper Egypt, which was
reconstructed for this picture by
George Fitzmaurice, the producer
This structure, carved from the liv-
ing rock on the bank of the Nile, is
so constructed that it's interior is il

DEPENDENT ON BALANCED
INDUSTRY

1t must be constantly remembered
that every state of depression is due
to loss of the equilibrium which
should exist between the industries.
Too much of some things are being
produced to the production of other
things The exchange ratio is dis
turbed, either by unbalanced physical
production or unbalanced prices. The
latter have the same effect as the
former An unbalanced state of
physical production should be cor
rected, not by throwing people out
of work or Iessening the aggregate
production but by shifting labor from
one kind of production to another,
to restore the balance. The natural
fIuctuation of prices will accomplish
this if the markets are free, so that
they reflect conditions, and if pro-
ducers are free to respond These
natural tendencies are baffled by eff
forts of interested and short-sighted
persons to regulate prices and pro-
duction itrarily.-National City

than some forms of similar lame
ness cause human beings pain. Boys
with stiff knees, one leg shorter than
the other, play ball, swim, run, and
do many other things with limping
gait, but without physical pain.
Then we should remember further
that to render an act positively cruel,
so far as the perpetrator is con-
cerned, there must be intent, or care
lessness as to conditions with which
he ought to be familiar. No one
should be allowed with any animal
who is SO ignorant, or stupid, or
thoughtless as not to know when he
is causing it pain.
In general, to underfeed, overwork
fail to provide plenty of good fresh
water at proper times, to neglect to
care for properly in any way any
animal in our possession, is cruelty,
and complaints of such cruelty our
society always welcomes and investi
gates. To pass by, unheeding it's
mute appeal, any suffering beast or
bird, is also cruelty, as well as the
blow or the overt act that causes
pain.
If one were to lay down broad
rule which would answer our ques-
ton and prevent one from treating
animals cruelty it would be some
thing like the following: Put your
self in the animals place, treat him
as you would like him to treat you
were all the circumstances reversed.
He who does this in his relations both
with animals and men will come close
to fulfilling that golden command on
which hang all the law and the pro-
phets.-C. G.
