.SISLER SLUMPS
 IN HIS BATTING Babe Ruth Climbs High In American League
 Hitting

Stars have been coming and going in the American League during the past week. Attention has been focused on Babe Ruth of New York and George Sisler of St. Louis. The former has apparently reached his normal form as he has forced himself up among the leading hitters in the league. having jumped from down below 300 to his present percentage of .336.
 Sisler, who gave some evidence of keeping up his early season stride, has been continually falling back until he is below the 300 mark as compared to over .330 last week. Sisler went hit less for several games while Ruth has been getting his eye on the pill with some regularity.
 In addition to having hit consistent ly, Ruth has also added two homeruns to his total, now having II, a lead commanding enough to make it a real stern chase for those who are strug- gling behind him. At present Will Hams of St. Louis and Hauser of Philadelphia are nearest with six apiece.
 Heilmann Still Leads
 UT lllle IL lOOACu dS H AAOhhCth Williams might keep Harry Heilmann company as the St. Louis slugger not only got up to the Tiger batsman, but passed him for a time. In line with the rest of the light hitting of Browns, Williams has also suffered while Heil- mann has taken undisputed command at the top again. Incidentally the Tiger outfielder has slammed out 11 two baggers for a league lead.
 Those who have held their own fair. ly well have been Harris and Boone of Boston, and Meusel of New York Jamieson of Cleveland has gained while Cobb of Detroit has fallen back.
 Eddie Collins of Chicago broke his tie in stolen bases with his team mate, Barrett, and now has nine pill fered sacks to his credit.
 Cleveland and New York are tied for the lead in team hitting while St. Louis has dropped from first place to third There have bene few changes among the others. St. Louis has improved in fielding and is only two points behind New York in this department.
 Bush of New York is the leader among the pitchers with Wingard of St. Louis next in effectiveness.

NINE STEWARTS HIT
 FOR 300 OR ABOVE
Lapan Still Leads Battles But Rhode Spurts To-
 ward Top Of Column

Lapan of Little Rock keeps begging away at the top, the converted catcher having an average of .435 this week among the hitters in the Southern as- sociation.
 . J. Smith of Atlanta has come to the front during the week with the hefty percentage of 1886 and is now second among the regulars. Rhode of Birm- ingham is another one who has im- proved his position, while Carlyle and Taylor of Memphis have. held their own. Stewart of Birmingham has relatively the same position as last week but he has fallen off slightly in percentage, but Mulvey has come up with leap and bound so far as posi- ton is concerned although he has only improved his average slightly.
 Homers Numerous
 There has been considerable activity among the homerun hitters. Paschal of Atlanta has added two to his record, now leading with seven.
 The base stealing is also looking up, with Marriott of Mobile holding com manding lead with 16 pilfered sacks. Stewart of Birmingham is the nearest with 13 and it promises hot race be- tween these two, with Brausen of Bir- mingham and Paschal only three be- hind Stewart.
 Paschal of Atlanta has crossed the plate 43 times for the league lead.
 Birmingham, Atlanta and Little Rock are having hot race in team batting, but New Orleans is lonesome in it's position at the head of the field ing column. New Orleans, however, has dropped to the bottom in batting, being tied with Chattanooga.
 Warmoth of Memphis leads the pitchers with the impressive figures of seven games won and one lost. Merz, his team mate, is nearest. Hollings- worth of New Orleans has pitched in 92 games for a record of 9 and 3. PITCHERs' RECORDS

To make business of sleep Is a
bad habit That is what persons do
who worry because they can't sleep.
The chief harmful effects from not
sleeping are caused not by sleepless-
ness, but by worry over not sleep
ing. Sleep should and will come nat
urally, If one will only realize that 1t
Is rest and not sleep that is needed.
OF course 1t is important to pay at
tentiOn to the ordinary rules of hy-
giene, with regard to exercise, fresh
air and reasonable diet. But above
ALL 1t is important to fill ones life
with satisfactory work and play. The
best incentive to sleep Is still the feel
ing Of Something attempted, some
thing done" particularly something to
help others. AS to the amount Of
sleep needed by different persons, that
varies within wide limits and is much
modified by habit. Many energetic,
active individuals get along quite well
with four or five hours Of sleep. The
proper amount for the average adult,
however, is usually between seven and
eight hours.

ARMISTICE DAY

On Tuesday, November II, 1924,
the sixth anniversary of the glorious
day which brought to an end the
mightiest conflict in the worlds his
tory, we bare our heads in sympathy
with those whose nearest and dearest
made the supreme sacrifice for their
ideals that Liberty might not perish
from the earth. In the homes where
the Golden Stars proclaim the suffer
ing of a broken heart, mere words are
futile-would that it were possible that
God in His infinite mercy return these
faithful sons to a mothers waiting
arms
Our thanks are due AMI freely Civ
en- to that great body of true Ameri-
cans-both men and women-who by
their sacrifices and unending dill
gence paved the way for ending of the
war May the eleventh day of the
eleventh month-when silence fell up
on the guns and the cheers of victory
replaced the clamor of conflict, and
joy came once more upon the earth
always live in the history as the be-
ginning of the era of universal peace
toward which the entire world is pro
crossing and which will bring us
closer to the time when all women
will work in unison
May each recurring November II
forever find the American people in
reverent silence with heads barred and
faces to the East

A scientist attached to one OF the
government bureaus, while gathering.
with an assistant, certain data on the
Missouri river In South Dakota. re
ported curious phenomenon that
sometimes occurs In that region. 1t
was In December. About noon one day
there came to the scientists ears a
heavy report, audible for miles, that
led him to remark that a blowout must
have occurred on the river. On re-
turning to the place where he had
crossed In the morning he found an
irregular hole, covering a space 100
feet square, in the solid Ice, which
averaged 90 Inches in thickness. The
theory Is that such blowouts result
from Imprisoned air gradually ac-
cumulating in a favorable spot. where

NO LIFE FOR WOMEN

Clemence Dane. an Englishwoman of
literary distinction, questions in the
Worlds Work whether women have
got what they want. The present civili
zation, she contends, is poorly adapted
to wOmen's wishes and she writes,
Il cannot help believing. speculation
apart, that woman might do much
more with her freedom than use it
merely to help in celebrating civili-
zatiOn which falls foul of her pro-
foundest instincts. Man has dreamed
his dreams, and where have they led
him? To the watch on the Ruhr: to
campaign! But has woman no dreams d?
Are her ideals always to be lmita-
tlon ones? The right TO earn her
bread and toll in the cities as the men
toll, bearing children in her spare
time Is that to be the end of all
things? Who knows? But one thing
| know; that If we are to continue
halving life with our fellow man with
out regard to the difference in sex,
we shall have to alter fundamentally
our conceptions of what that life
should be- The life of the cities today
Is no life for a woman. She is too
good for 1t. It's waste. Simpllhcatlon
or YIctorianlsm-one or other remedy
we must resort to; or we shall have
given more to secure our game than
the game is worth"

ACCURACY FIRST

The decent newspapers of this coun-
try-and the overwhelming majority
of those that survive are decent-put
the accuracy of their news columns
above all other of the fundamentals.
Most newspapermen regard accuracy
as a crowning virtue and those who
do not usually become outcasts in a
profession that has it's code of honor
as rigidly adhered to as any profession

Famous Roman Baths
Haze Been OUerrafed

We go to the movies and see scenes
arranged to impress us with the
luxury Of the old Roman baths in use
1900 years ago; and very few of us
realize how superior the up-to-date
bathroom is to those costly ancient
edifces. So says well-known maker
of up-to-date bathrooms.
The Roman baths, he continues,
were built, as rule, by the emperors,
their cost being too great for private
Individual. Crude and clumsy was the
method by which the water was heat
ed and carried from one pool to an
other Although it was changed con-
tinually, every one bathed in the same
water and soap was unknown The
baths were open only at certain hours
of the day, an admission price was
charged and their use was limited to
mobiles and freemen of the city.
In Greece marble slabs were hol-
lowed out and filed with water, which
was splashed or poured from urns over
the head or body of the bather. Down
through the Middle ages plumbing fix
lures as we understand the term, were
unknown.
