one Of the big surprises Of the
present American League race has
been the slump OF Harry Heilmann.
champion batsman of that organlza
ton.
For the first eight weeks OF the
season Heilmann was hia old self
with a mark around 400 Many OF
the critics opined that Heilmann had
a great chance to win the most val
liable player trophy for 1924.
Average Drops
Then, inside Of a couple Of weeks.
Heilmann's batting average dropped
30 points. only ending when he was
removed from the lineup. Eere is
the way Harry explains 1t and his
alibi seems los cal:
"A smallpox scare caused all of
the Detroit players to be vacclnated
as a preventive. Mine took with
vengeance, d badly swollen arm
resulting.
Il take a full swing mt the bait
This was impossible with my sore
arm. I simply couldn't time the
ball. My batting slumped badly
Timing Poor
When the arm healed my timing
of the ball continued to be poor,
there was a lack Of coordination be
tween eye and swing. l simply
couldn't get the ball safe
While l have done better OF late,
the shifting Of my style, due to the
vaccinated arm, seems to have
thrown me entirely off my stride"

Of Politics During Term
| of Major Kirby

Federal officials IN touch with the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
today expressed the belief that at
the conclusion OF Major w. w.
Kirby's term as Director next De-
cember the position would be made
sbomb PROOF against further po-
lItical upheavals Of the sort which
have characterized it in. the past
two years.
The administration OF Major
Kirby will be devoted to the restor-
alton of morale and efficiency and
to the strengthening Of the civil
service principle, these officials m
dictated. At his retirement the Blu.
reau will be confronted with a new
crisis.
If the Democratic party should be
successful In the next election, the
question of choosing successor
to Major Kirby would be postponed
until the following March, but II
the present administration Is re-
tanned In power the post nndoubted-
ly would be- filled Immediately.
: Major Kirby is authorized by Con-
gressionaI resolution to continue in
office only for a SIX months term
and is personally opposed to being

Officials who foresee the prospect
OF having the post Of director again
thrown into the political turmoil
are quietly starting a campaign to
prevent such contingency. They
point out that it viii be impossible
ITO obtain really efficient execu-
tive for the post unless some sort
Of civil service warrant as to it's
permanency goes with It. II either
party insists on filling the office
on strictly political basis, 1t Is a
certainty that. political influences
again will work into the rank and
file of the service and undermine
Its morale.
The damage that was done TO the
bureau when an executive order
swept James T.. Wilmeth and TWEEN
ty-eight subordinate bureau chiefs
out Of office can be repaired only
by rigid adherence to civil service
principles from this time for war /.
according to these officials.
1t was indicated today that Score.
tary of the Treasury Mellon will
Join with other Administration Off
Gals in finding competent bust
ness and technical man to take the
dictatorship when Major Kirby's
temporary term expires. Political
affiliations will not be considered, 1t
is said, in finding the man. and the
Democratic leaders in Congress will
be consulted in making the choice.

Numerous inquiries regarding the
Icolors and dyes used by the South
ern mountain coverlet weavers have
been received and with regard to
the curious color effects It can be
stated that they are produced by
weaving q warp of one color with
q ,wO0f of another.
Dark blue woven with white
makes a pale blue; a brownish red
woven with indigo blue makes q
purplish tint, and a soft grayish
tint comes from weaving a blue
cotton warp with a wool of natural
color wool. Nader was generally
used to make the red dye of early
days, and the weavers Of Knott
county, Kentucky, use the same
madder that the Government uses
for dyeing red stripes in the Amer.
lean flag. But occasionally one
finds among old cOverlets q red
made from cochineal, and a color
expert can easily distinguish this
from the madden red.
An Unknown Blue.
"A certain Government bulletin on
industries in the Southern noun.
tains tells Of a weaver who makes
la blue dye equal to indigo from a
plant known only to, herself. This
mysterious plant may be weld, q
native Of Europe, but found IN the
