Dangerous Dan" McGrew, as
a member Of the Memphis club
last year, led all the pitchers in
the league for effectiveness, per-
hitting an average Of 2.29 earned
runs off him in forty-four games.
He toiled in 800 innings, being
second to Fuhr, Of Mobi.-, in this
respect, and was given twenty
two victories for twelve defeats.
Two pitchers, Whitehill, Of Biz
mingham, and Martina, Of New
Orleans, had more than his 1877
strikeouts, Whitehill with 139 and
Martina with 149.
Joe Martina, with New Orleans,
ranked tenth for effectiveness,
pitching 266 innings In forty
games and allowing an average Of
2.S5 earned runs per game. Mar
tina's 149 strikeouts was the
largest total for the circuit. He
had 70 walks to McGrew's 80.

his average Of 8.91 earned runs

Fred Marberry had an average

Little Bell Used by

Here and there, sometimes incon-
gruOusly mingled with the practices
OF Westernlsm, the characteristics of
the old, the romantic, the picturesque
Japan remain to attract and to en-
thrall the forelgnet Although the
japanese newspapers are printed in
strange fantastic characters. writes u
correspondent Of the London Times,
they help to spread veneer of the
West over the Far East, but when
Japan sells It's newspapers the thin
ness of the veneer becomes at once
apparent.
Here we have no roaring boys rush
ing through trafic-crowded streets and
bawllng the latest tidings into the air.
A special edition of an evening paper
is gogai, and the blue-clad coolle
who sells 1t on the streets may be
eighteen years old or eighty, but his
procedure is ever the same. He lopes
along with his specials" (the size of
half sheet of notepaper), and for the
piercing yell of the London newsboy
he substitutes the ringing of tiny
handbell. And, even though there are
many bells rung through every hour
In every japanese city, none can be
mistaken for that Of the gogai man.
The first news of the death Of Pres
ident Harding and news Of the death
of Viscount Kato were spread through
the capital of Japan by the tlnkling
OF little bells.

Happy Bermuda Has No

Harrington Of the Museum Of the

These Indians, said Harrington,

Pug Dogs.


What has become of the pug dogs
that once were the sign of affluence
that graced the heartstone of
many homes-that were a mark of
aristoeracy?
A New York newspaper writer
says there are only two pug dogs in
New York City. How he knows is
beyond comprehension, but if he's
right, it's useless to try to locate a
pug dog in Rusk county.
Think what the present generation
is missing in not having a pug dog
in every home. For the benefit of
young people who never had the
companionship OF pug dog, a gener-
al description of a pug dog might
be apropos.
A pug dog was just a pug dog
and that's about all that could be
said for one. He derived his name
from the fact, evidently, that he had
a pug nose. Or perhaps pug noses
got their name from pug dogs.
That's too deep a question to go any

WASHINGTON BEGINS to fill
up in anticipation of the opening of
Congress on December /. The
Senators and Representatives them
selves are always a little behind,
but the lobbyists and the other semi
official hangers on have lost no time
in gaining vantage points for the
seige with this "lame duck" Lcgisla-
ture. There viii be some new faces
in the Senate, notably in that seat
which was once occupied by Daniel
Webster and more recently by Henry
Cabot Lodge of Massachu etts.
William NJ Butler, Chairman of .he
Republican National Committee and
President Coolidge's campaign
manager, has been appointed to
occupy Lodges seat until the
Congressional election two years
hence.
CONTROVERSIES are flaming
up here and there in the Capital
over the influx If negroes into white
neighborhoods. In some parts Of
the city, the whites have attempted
TO exclude the negroes, but the latter
have set up the contention that there
is no legal right to segregate them.
1t is true that the Supreme Court Of
the United States has rendered an
opinion which apparently takes that
position, but another test case is
looked for The problem is acute
here in Washington, where the
population is about equally divided
between whites and blacks.
REPORTS OUT OF Washington
that President Coolidge will have two
vacancies to fill on the Supreme
Court are based on the assumption,
it developes, that neither Associate
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes nor
Associate Justice Joseph McKenna
will survive during the coming four
years Holmes is SO years old and
McKeuna is 81, but neither has any
intention Of rcsigning They want
to die in harness.
THE CAPITAL HAS been all
excited about the liquor case in
Maryland in which John Philip Hill,
"a Congressman from that state, has
been seeking an Interpretation of
the National Prohibition Act Hill
made cider at his home in Baltimore
and then invited the federal agents
to arrest him The court held that
he was NOT guilty of violating the
Volstcad Act by his home-brcwing,
but Prohibition Commissioner Hay
mes countercd with the statement
that enforcement would go on just
the same and that the Baltimore
decision did NOT mean that home
brewers could operate with impunity.
AS FAR AS THE Government is
concerned, there will be no effort at
further tax revision in the short
session cf Congress. President
Coolidge and Secretary Mellon have
agreed that it would be fruitless to
ask this Congress TO put through
tax plan which it has lieady turned
down The Administration great
desire for additional tax reduction
may result in a special session of
Congress after March 4.
President Coolidge. indicating
that he found it difficult to always
get prompt agreement from the
heads of the Government depart
meuts TO proposals for sharp cuts in
expenditures, told this story: A
Vermont farmer. meeting another
farmer on the road asked the latter
for his horse and wagon. The
second farmer said no" If he

Clock Made Wholly of
Glass Except Springs

A Bohemian glass polisher has per-
formed a wonderful feat In the glass
industry. He constructed a clock,
which. with the exception Of the
springs, is made entirely of glass.
The glass plates and pillars OF this
extraordinary timepiece are bolted to
gether with glass screws. The dial
plate hands, shafts and cog wheels
are all glass, and glass wedges and
pins are used for fastening the varl-
GUS parts Of the running gear.
All parts are ground TO the average
proportions of the metal parts Of other
clocks of the same size. The teeth of
tho cog wheels are cut with minute
exaetness, only the balance wheel be-
ing heavier and thicker than 1t is in
an ordinary clock. The key with
which the clock is wound is also of
glnss. Many of the parts had to be
made over and over again before a
CLOCK that would go and keep time
was produced.-The Pathfinder.
