 There never will be another mayor, " said he. These guys are getting too educated"
 Once there was a reason for mayor in this little Oriental community. His constituents were forever getting into trouble and someone had to ball them out. Those were the days of tong wars and three-weeks long dramas in the Chinese theatre and opium joints that were almost as open as Madison Square. Life in Chinatown was color. ful. quick and uncertain.

 Things happen in Brooklyn that could happen nowhere else. The other day two policemen were transferred from the wilds of the Bronx to the placidities of the City, of Churches. "Help." came a cry over the phone. Two wops just batted foreman over the head wit shovel. We'll hold lem until the cops come .E....
 The two unacclimated cops were sent out on the case and got lost. Five hours later-five hours, mind you they found the two wops, still being held. And next day one Bernard Cucati was arrested for bootlegging from a pushcart. That is transcendental enough, one would think. But in the investigation it developed that he sold his liquor at 5, 10 and 15 cents a drink, the differently priced drinks be- ing of the same size and coming from the same bottle.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 29.-Aft- CT losing six straight games played in the < Dell this season, the Birmingham Bar eons finally broke through to win here this afternoon, clubbing out $ to 2 win in the single Sunday combat.
 Kennth Jones finally turned the trick against the Vols after being battered un- mercifully on two occasions since bec0m- ing Baron and battling the Vols. He was stingy in the pinches and left large numbers of Vols scattered around in scoring position as the final man was re- tired. While Jones was tanning the Vol ,sluggers, his own mates were batter 3ng away quite merrily for marker here and there.
 Tex Jeanes led the attack with three hits, including double and triple. @Brenner, Camp. Spencer and Jones each horned in two blows in making up the total of 13 safeties against Alten, Mor- iris and Lindstrom.
 Jeanes tripled and Howard Camp doubled with two away and a runner ,pn base for two runs in the opening ,stanza
 In the second the Barons loaded the Nbase paths with not a man out and yet failed to score run. Graff blocked a squeeze play at the plate here and then. Hawks started a brilliant double killing that retired the side.
 In the seventh the Barons broke loose again. Brausen singled to start the frame. Brenner's tap hopped over Al tens head for single. Rhode forced Brenner, but Jeanes slapped the score board with a double and both scored. . Jeanes scored on Camps slow roller.
 Jeanes started more trouble in the ninth by singling for his third poke of the game. He was immediately picked

Nashville, in fourth place, gained half game on Atlanta by winning six out of seven last week. Mobile, including Saturdays games, lost little ground in fifth place by, losing four out of seven, while Bir- mingham, in the same period also lost points by losing six games in eight starts.
 After long early season slump the Chattanooga Lookouts have shown form during the past three weeks and have emerged from the cellar, Little Rock taking over that position.
 In addition to their stellar field ing game, the New Orleans Pels are hitting the ball with vengeance. In seven games last week they scored g runs on S3 hits-leading the league in hitting -while opponents were SCOT ing only 27 runs off Pelican pitchers. Next in total hits were the Birming ham sluggers who were credited with IS safeties in eight games. The Barons netted only 35 runs, however, while opponents were scoring 67 runs on the Baron pitchers. E
 Included in Atlanta's 5S hits in seven games were seven home runs. Memphis pitchers held opponents to g runs.-lowest figure of the week for the league and the Chicks drove

 Sudden Strength

NEW YORK, June 29.-A surpris, ing spurt by Washington. who gained four full games and advanced from fourth place in the American, league into first, with a two-game lead, tenn porarily produced a leadef among the seven contending clubs Whose fluxing provided the most interesting race in the major leagues in recent years.
 The Senators, who have won 16 of their last 19 games, were rivaled in the National by the Giants, who increased their lead over Chicago from one and half to four and one-half games, and by the Pirates, who have crept to within one and one-half games of Brooklyn, in third place, and are only four behind Chicago, in second.
 Washingtons suddenly discovered ability is largely credited to the unify- ing influence of Harris, young mana ger, who has transformed a band of veterans into potential champions.
 The Chicago Cubs did not win a game. The New York Yankees lost six straight and fell from first to fourth,

BARONS BATTLE
 CRACKERS HERE
Lundgren To Face Nc Laughlin; Stuffy Play
 ing Great Ball

Their beraggled feathers preened somewhat back in place, the Baronial flock will be shooed back onto the home roost today to open three-game racket with the Crackers of Atlanta. Fans and sympa thisers with the local aspira- itions were cheered considerably over the weekend when the Magic Citians got an even break in Atlanta, then turned round and knocked off that dread jinx, the Nashville Vols in a ne-day-Sunday-
 Excellent hurling performances on the part of Kenneth Jones and Rufus Rivers Clarke have more to do with the slight upward trend in hope than the actual winning. Both these boys have all along looked the part of Class A hurlers, as indeed have most of the Stewards pitchers, but they somehow couldn't get under way. Clark's shut out Saturday and Jones steady game Sunday in the face of none too rigid defensive bulwarks would indicate that they are at last on the uplands where they belong.
 Lundgren, who also turned in win his last time out, is due today and there is every prospect that he will again check the Crackers. Delmar was scored on seven times in Atlanta, but most of the septet were due to his wild ness and errors, not to any great amount of Georgia hitting. He allowed ' only eight safe bingles Lundy, although this was his first win, has had ghastly Luck. He dropped 14-frame duel in 4-kis first start and then received dis credit for two losses when he finished games His work nearly every trip has been good and is much better than the records show.
 - Roy Moore may get the nomination for Niehoff, but Hollis Mclaughlin is 7 more likely. Mclaughlin got away to whirlwind start and through the first month of the campaign was the Crackers ace, but he has stumbled rather awkwardly of late He was knocked out in the first game of the series in the Hot Air City, but if he is Tn good form today a piratic pitching battle should be on the cards. Moore, { last years local idol, hasn't done any 100 well in the box. He has delivered some of his old time terrific hitting and ;will likely be in the lineup somewhere.
 John Franklin Stewards work in the Atlanta settoes was brilliant in every department of the game and the scribes Tn that sector were very nearly unani- nous in the proclamation that he was far and away the best keystoner in the wheel. So the wolves who have been riding the little manager here won't find much of an advocate else where.
 And the records bear out those s:ng- ing Stuffy's praises. He is, according to averages of games through Thursday. clouting .34S, has stolen 9 bases and scored 62 runs, leading the keystoners 0t the wheel in all these department Following is table that demonstrates e1tectlVeiy Stewards great work this year.

 MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 29.-Larry Cilbert,s Pelicans of New Orleans have more than recovered the ground lost in their last series with Memphis, when the Chicks took four out of five. The Pelicans have narrowed the gap to one and a fraction games between themselves and first place in the per centage column.

Lesson No. 2
THE PROPER USE OF LIGHT
HOW WE SEE

Objects are seen by the light tina
falls upon them and is reflected tt
our eyes. A dark object reflects bu
little of the light that falls upon il
perhaps less than one-fourth; q
light colored object reflects a large
part of the light = perhaps three
quarters.
If we are to see objects, the light
must fall upon them and be reflect
ed from them. The more darkly
they are colored, the more light is
needed to enable us to see them The
light that falls on objects which we
wish to see may be termed useful
light. Most electric lamp bulbs when
used without shades or reflectors,
throw out light in all directions
just as much to the ceiling and walls
of room as down to the table top.
Well designed shades are made SO
that they not only soften the light,
but also reflect some light that would
otherwise be wasted and direct it
downward and outward to the objects
that we wish to see.
GLOOM
Proper lighting requires two things
First, that there be enough light
So that the eye can see quickly and
easily; and second, that this light be
shaded and so placed in the room that
the eye is not strained by glare.
Many homes have soft, shaded light
that is too dim for good vision, 9TH
ers have enough light but harmful
glare is part of it; too few homes
have plenty of light without glare,
which is necessary for proper light
ing and the protection of eyesight.

UP to this point we have thot

full. Of course, this is very important
in every room in the home, and ev-
erywhere else. But when we light
our home, we want the lighting to
make each room pleasant and attrac-
tive, and our lighting, except for the
work rooms (the kitchen, the laund-
ry, the basement and attic), should
be as much of decoration or or
nament as the pictures and rugs and
curtains.
Lighting equipment may be orna-
mental and decorative, and at the
same time it can be made in such a
way that it will properly light the
room. Much of the lighting equip
ment in use today can be greatly
improved by using shades that are
longer, so that the bulb is complete
ly hidden from the eye and denser,
so that no extremely bright spot
appears in the center of them.
A FEW CATTTIONC
Here are few cautions that will
help you protect your eyes:
Don't Judge the amount of light in
a room by the brightness of the bare,
unshaded bulbs. That is the indica-
ton of glare.
Don't expose your eyes to unshad-
ed lights. That may cause eyestrain.
Don't read while facing bright
light or sunny window. Have the.
light come from beside you Or over
your shoulder.
Don't use bright lights against a
dark background.
Don't try to read in dim light
that tires your eyes.
Don't let your lighting equipment
get dirty. Clean it regularly. Dust
md dirt may cause you to lose as
much as one-half or even three
'ourths of the light the bulbs pro-
luce and that you are paying for.
Don't depend on taking out light
'ulbs to connect appliances and port
bile lamps. Have convenience out
cts put in for this purpose.
Don't be Indifferent to the pres
rvation of your eyesight.
