Ways to Value Dollar.

From the Boston Transcript
There are three ways to learn the
value of dollar. The first is to spend
it and see what you get for it. The
second is to earn it and see what you
have to give for it. The third is to
save it and yearn for the things it
might buy if you were weak enough
to spend it.

lette's request for an Investigation of the campaign contributions and the expenditure of the republican ways and means committee for Pennsylvania. represented by Joseph R, Grundy of the manufacturers association. and William Mellon, brother of the secretary of the treasury.
 "It is a notorious fact that every specially protected industry in Pennsylvania is being canyassed by a series of letters and interviews demanding gratitude for congress sional favors and special privileges received by them. and suggesting reprisals If the Grundy appeal failed. If you determine upon an investigation we will furnish infor- nation concerning the doubtful dis tricts of Pennsylvania in which dis tribution will likely be made.
 This levying of tribute offends against the letter and spirit of the statutes which are designed to pre- vent corrupt election practices and deserves the most searching inquiry at the hand of every friend of honest election.

 University of Pennsylvania).
 Michigan came to Philadelphia In 1912 with a formation the Pennsyl- vania scouts had never seen. Be- fore 1t VIC were helpless. With 1t Michigan put us to rout. Through out the first half the Wolverines smashed for repeated gains and, when the intermission brought a halt, the score stood 21 to 0.
 Under the circumstances a thor oughly cowed Penn team might have been expected to reappear on the field for the second half. But it was anything but that. Between halves the Penn coaches outlined a defense for the Michigan formation. And, hope revived, the men of Penn returned to the battle keyed to a fighting frenzy.
 We scored once. We scored twice. And with only two. minutes left to play, the Red and Blue scored it's third touchdown. But Chester Minds, who had kicked every goal from touchdown all season. missed this one and the hopes of Pennsyl- vania's supporters waned. Penns comeback, great as it was, had fal- len one point short, they were say ing.
 Michigan elected to receive the kickoff and immediately began, to stall for time. A penalty for delay ing the game forced them to punt. Dick Marshall, Penn's safety man, received the kick and, while an elec- trifled throng wondered whether it was dreaming and desperate inter- ference moved down Michigan men right and left, Marshall ran for the winning touchdown.
 From both sides of the field the stands poured their crowds. They crashed in mid-feld. For an hour the mob millcd madly, but finally the field was cleared and the re- maining 45 seconds were played the game ending Michigan 21, Pennsyl2 vania 27.
 Twenty-one points behind and the game half gone. Yet Penn pulled through. That's the power of grim determination-the will to win. You are only licked if you think you are.

IS INNINGS AND
 STILL WAS STRONG
Cards Young Hurler Proves to
 Be Iron Man

St. Louis. Oct. 9.--Joe McGinnity started the fad of pitching double headers, He was the iron man" of the hill during his career. but during these days of tender muscles a major league pitcher seldom bids for such fame.
 It remained for Herman Bell in his first season in the National league to pitch the years first double header.
 Bell, member of the St. Louis Cardinals, turned the trick with such ease against the Boston Braves in July that he proved the pitching arm will stand IS innings in an aft ernoon without weakening.
 The two games pitched by Bell were remarkable. He was close to a perfect performance when he re- tired the first 22 batters who faced him without hit or base runner. Recruit Padgett spoiled the record with a double as the second batter in the eighth inning. The veteran stengel followed with a single. Those were the only hits for the Braves, Bell winning, 6 to l.
 Bell returned to the club house after that triumph, wiped the per- spiration off his face and said to his manager, Branch Rickey: "Pd like to tackle this second game"
 In his second game Bell retired the first 14 batters in a row and again Padgett shattered the streak with another double in the fifth in- ming. The Braves found him for four hits all told, Bell winning. 2 to l.
 In the IS innings Bell issued only two walks.
 Bell was found by Scout Charley Barrett during the summer of 1923 as a semipro pitcher at Sioux Falls, S. D. He was born at Louis- vile. Ky. July 16. 1899. He is a right lfander.
