Mack is a curiosity among big
league managers in the South this

on the development of pitchers. It
is batters that he needs.

will go to center field: he is a big,
strapping fellow and a right-hand hit
ter. Ten years ago he was a left
hand pitcher with the Boston Braves.
He sat on the bench back in 1914 and
watched the great Athletic team of
that year go tumbLng to the turf. A
prankish Destiny now sends him back
to help restore the AIackian cause to
its former grandeur.
Strand is a peculiar picture at the

expect to see this 3O-year-old rookie
smash the ball TO powder. Instead,
he takes an easy, three-Quarter swing

than savagery in his technique.

 In a very short time Raggedy Andy could see the Wizard upon his hobby horse riding through the woods and in a few more minutes Raggedy Andy came up with them. We forgot something, MT. Wizard" Raggedy Andy said very politely.
 "No sir! l haven't forgotten single thing" the Wizard replied as he rubbed the bump on the top of his head. T shall never wrestle with you again, Raggedy Andy, that's one thing sure"
 Will you please return with me and change the Willywiggle back into man so that he can return to his mama?" Raggedy Andy asked.

ELECTRIC ROADS
 SEE THE WRITING
Going Extensively Into Auto
 Bus Business

Atlantic City, Oct. 7.-Convinced that they are going to continue to handle the mass of local transporta- tion on both rails and rubber, elec- tric railway executives are going into the bus business widely, Brit ton l. Budd, president of the Ameri- can Electric Railway association, to- day told that orga anization's conven- tion. Every state was represented among the 5000 men present.
 One hundred and fifty companies now are operating buses in conjunc- ton with their electric railway serv- ice, and it is said that 25 per cent of all the buses sold last year went to electric railway companies, Mr. Budd declared. Conviction that the mass of local transportation must be handled on electric cars had result ed from demonstration that they are the most economical in the use of street space. and maintain property values better than any other trans rortatlon vehicle.
 The industry needs money for ex- tension of it's properties, and this is obtaining through the sales of secur- ities to riders, the speaker declared. Financial support invariably comes to companies that place their securi- ties on a dependable basis.
 "I have the utmost faith In the fu- ture of the electric railways. No form of city transportation has heen devised that can take their place, " Mir. Budd continued. Tt has been Conclusively demonstrated that oth- CT forms, including motor buses, can be counted upon only as auXiiarics. Electric railways must continue 10 be developed for the fullest service, and for any city not to ro cognize this would be suicidal to the business prosperity and the convenience Of the people and would soon reflect itself in depreciated property values and general community demoraliza- tion.
 Increasing street congestion 'in every city has proven that mass transportation can only be handled over fixed routes, over rails. It has been proved that this is the safest form of transportation, not only tc riders, but to pedestrians. The speed and safety factors can be largely in- creased where there is proper co. operation between city officials and the railways. It has been shown that the financial responsibility, neces- sary in the protection of a city anC ! its peoples interests, can be found only in transportation agency that 1 has g. fixed investment in the com munity. The public appreciation oi the situation, as outlined. is showr in the large increase in car riders
 this in spite of the phenomenal in
 crease In the number of pleasure automobiles and motor buses in tho
 last few years.
 Motor bus operation appears t'
 be on the way to a solution. At tn,
 present time about 150 of our com
 panies are operating some 2,OO'
 buses and it is probable that tn
 number will be greatly increased il

 After a wonderfully successful "trip in the Sotik country, the expedition camps for more hunt ing at a farm called Saigai-Sai. After several other trips they in- wade the Guaso Nyero elephant country and meet with more good sport. The Roosevelts are given a royal reception at Moro and En- tebbe. And now they are at Hoima. the capital of Unyora, on the first stage of their long journey across Uganda and into the Sudan. At Hoima Foran undergoes an operation for relief of an abscess.

the immediate future. Where there is a public need for bus service, we should supply 1t, even if, for time, we conduct it at loss. We gain in public good will by giving the public the service it wants.
 "The necessity of greater conser- vation of life and limb on our streets and highways is clearly apparent. The deatlr toll is appalling and con- stantly grows as the congestion in creases. Electric railways, owe it as a civic duty to take an active hand in evefy effort to combat the care lessness and Responsibility so large ly responsible for the alarming situ ation.
 Some companies may think il difficult if not impossible for them to start a customer ownership finan- cial program. My answer to that is 10 make every effort to put the f. nancial structure of your company on basis that will inspire public confidence in your securities, then ask your customers to supply the needed capital for new equipment and improved service. If com pany is really serving a community, it will find a ready response to such an appeal"
 Business fell off in some sections with electric railways during the summer, MT. Budd said, but it now is coming back. He attributed th- slump to general business conditions,

 Nature has put something into woman's heart that makes it impos- sible for her to be happy unless she mothers something, It may be a husband or 8 child, a cat or a dog, an ideal or business, an institution or a crusade; but she must have something in her life that satisfies the maternal urge.

 He thinks the time has come for you to let it be known that we are in partnership in the lingerie shop. Both Walter and I are sure that married people need a little vacation from each other occasionally. It is said that we all grow tired, physical ly, mentally and spiritually, and those who are nearest and dearest to us first feel the consequences Of nerves filled with the poison of fatigue and boredom.
 If I told this to anyone but you, dear Leslie, that person would think that already Walter and l were grown tired; but you know. my dear, this is not so. We still are SC deliriously happy I am afraid it is too good to be true-too good to last I think he feels the same, so we are trying to insure our future against that terrible corroding wearines' which monotony-eyen the monot, ony of great and constant happiness brings.

The Plans Dicky Unroldcd

 l had scored deCisivcly in the little game of wits between Dicky and me, game do not think my husband realized he was playing. But l knew that my prompt ac- quescenco to his carelessly uttered proposal to scatter the household for a while because he thought we were getting on each others nerves, had pjqued him, It would take very little management on my part for him 10 abandon his proposal. at least as far as he and 1 were con- cerned.
 But my pride not only prevented me from lifting the traditional finger to change his mind, but marshalled all my energies to the bostering of his project. l would give him no chance to retreat, l told myself a trife grimly. as I schooled my voice to put a query which should sound at once interested and nonchalant.
 Have you made any plans?" l asked.
 Diczy bent an inscrutable pair of eyes upon my face for a flashing second.

 My pulses bounded with that most exhilarating of all sensations to a woman-the realization that she is puzzling her own particular man. l did not answer him save with a cryptic little smile, and with shrug of his shoulders he plunged into the details of 8 plan which l guessed had suddenly become distasteful to him.
 'T'n go to the studio, of course" he began, and with the words he was revenged. although flatter my self no change in my facial express sion betrayed the sudden drop of my mental barometer.
 T know your work Is pillng up," | said with quick assent, "but are you sure you'll be comfortable there ?"-this last with the correct air of wifely solicitude.
 "All the comforts of home, and come that home never saw!" he re- turned with sardonic little quirk of his lips. Don't strain yourself worrying over me. I'll be all right, and perhaps I'll have fighting chance for my life against those wolves of art editors snapping at the back of the sleigh. I've thrown everything edible to them except the baby. and he's in danger. And Ais the worst of the lot, blast his ornery hide!"
 "What's Eating Lcila?"
 Experience of Dicky's extravagant speech made me take this diatribe calmly especially as I read beneath
