odd and still vigorous trunk of our
upper chamber"
The interview turned then to the
question of pacts similar to the
LocaTno accord.
81 believe" said Mussolini. that
it is highly desirable that the Lo-
carno pact should be supplemented
by other particular agreements of
friendship and arbitration between
tho various European powers.
Italy has recently signed such a
treaty with Switzerland and owing
to the wide scope of it's clauses and
the friendly spirit which animates
il, it might serve as an example for
}other similar agreements"
/ then asked him if he thought
submarines should he abolished,
to witch he replied:
"To want to abolish submarines
because during the last war they
were unfairly used against mer-
chant vessels and peaceful pass
engers is about the same thing as
wanting to abolish aeroplanes be-
cause they were often employed to
lombard towns and cities. All
means Of war can be used unfairly.
"In any case, the abolition of
submarines would result in an OBJ
vious and fatal naval inferiority for
poorer nations and those with long
coastlines to defend. Wealthy ma
tions could build large and med
ium sized ships while poorer ma
nations not being able to compete
with the richer in this direction,
would remain practically at their
mercy"
Mussolini talked next of the
American debt settlement and pre-
dicted that it's effects would be "of
most beneficial nature for Italy,"
whose young energies" it would
stimulate rather than to weaken.
From the debt settlement, he
turned to the question of Ameri-
can civilization.
Americas civilization" he said,
is Of European origin, but it has
developed certain powerful forms
and elements which enable it to
create an original civilization of it's
own, not to be confounded with
other civilizations. Work is the
keynote of the system, not work
conceived as a kind of inevitable
chastisement which man must en-
dure in order to extract from the
earth the mere means of subsist-
ence, but work conceived as the
true and joyful end of life.
This is new point of view of
enormous Importance in the history
Of mankind and the United States
gives every day an example of
this ardent, untamed, youthful urge
to work, to produce wealth and to
spread it far and wide for the fe-
cundity of the world.
cat the same time, it is not true
that your civilization is exclusive
ly ominated by mechanical and
material factors and by greed for
gain.
81 believe, on the other hand,
you will give magnificent con-
tributiOn to the worlds spiritual ac
tivity When I say this, l am
thinking of your William James, of
Emerson, Longfellow, Mark Twain,
and the great magician of the mag
netic world, Edison. 1t is my con-
viction that you will give to the
world an art, a poetry and phil
osophy of your OWE"

Annual Owners'
Meet to be Tame
BY HENRY L. FARRELL


New York H No business of
great Importance will be brought to
the attention of the major league
club owners when Commissioner
Lands gets them together for their
annual winter meeting here on Dec.
10.
From all surface indications, the
game is in a healthy condition, the
club owners are at peace and bus
mess generally was good through
the last season. When business
is good the magnates are not in
clined to be cranky with each other
or with the game.
1t is quite certain that the mag
mates will agree to the suggestion
of the commissioner that the regu-
lar playing season be ended in time
to start the worlds serious ON Oc-
tober /.
The distressing weather condi-
tions that prevailed during the SER
les between the Pirates and the
Senators convinced the commits
sioner and about 40, 900 soaked fans
that middle October was a poor
spot for a baseball classic.
Another lesson learned in the
worlds series may also result in q
rule preventing encroachment in
the playing field. The manage
ment of the Pittsburgh club was so
eager to accommodate the fans
and, incidentally, to make the gate
more substantial-th the outfield
was Uttered up with a lot of special
stands that turned two-baggers in.
to home-runs.
The players whose aim was good
didn't complain but the fans
thought it was joke and fans to
make good customers have to take
their baseball seriously.
;: g =
The political situation, from all
appearances, indicates a peaceful
session. Ban Johnson, the tur-
bulent president Of the American
League, may think just as much or
as little of Commissioner Lands
as he. ever did but he is keeping
quiet about it.
Last winter Ban spoke out of
turn and spoke so loudly in criti-
cism of the commissioner that he
was given verbal sock on the chin
that knocked him down in his chair
and he has remained seated ever
since.
Johnson may have had reasons to
believe that he would be support
ed by enough of his club owners to
get no worse than draw in bout
with the commissioner but he could
MT finish the fight that he started
and they all turned against him.
Some of the club owners are said
to have private opinions that ag-
reed with the public utterances of
the American League president but
for the security Of the game and
the confidence of the public, they
had to support the big chief when
he asked them to take their choice.
Johnson, with a lack of Judgment
that his long experience should
have improved picked a bad spot
to quarrel with the commissioner
and his employers.
The public was still talking about
the O'ConneH-Dolan scandal, and if
the club owners did not vote Ncon-
cidence in the commissioner for
the prompt and drastic action TAX
en-, it would have put the game in
a very questionable position.

It is possible that the scandal
may get another airing if friends
of O'Connell are able to get hear
ing on plea to have the case of
the young outfielder reconsfdered.

Fruit Growers Urged to
Order All Stock Early

Prospective fruit growers should or
der their nursery stock early in the
fall, STIMULATING the grades desired, and
that delivery shall be made on a desig-
mated date. Nursery trees are usually
graded according to height, although
diameter measurement an inch or two
above the bud should be taken into
consideration. Trees for planting
should be well grown and stocky, ex-
plains f. HI. Rawl, assistant extension
horticulturist at Clemson college, who
points out the method of handling.
When you receive your trees they
should be Immediately be unpacked
and heeled-in where the soil is moist.
This heeling-in process is accomplished
by placing the roots in a trench a foot
or 10 inches deeper than they are to
be planted. with the earth packed
around them. Trees are usually leaned
at a As degree angle in the heeling-in
trench.

SUMMER COMPLAINT

L VERY mother and every nurse
- knows that the first summer of a
baby's life is a critical period. Babies
In the first year of life stand heat
badly. Even if the weather is COM
paratively cool, many of them fall vic
tins to those stomach and bowel dis
turbances generally known a sum-
mer complaint"
Some form of bowel trouble is re-
sponsible for one out of every five
deaths among infants. Diarrhea
causes more deaths than measles,
scarlet fever. %whooping cough, ty-
phoid and diphtheria all put together.
1t kills more babies in the first two
years of life than those other five
diseases do at all ages. In Illinois,
for instance, the state health depart
ment finds that in the last six years
measles, scarlet fever, w%hooping
cough. typhoid and diphtheria killed
1896 babies while diarrhea killed
1850 babies under two years. One
half of these deaths occurred in July,
August, September and october. The
number of deaths in August was three
times the number in December.
Why do these stomach and bowel
disturbances c in such large num-
Der in the summer? DR.. L. Emmett
Holt of New York, one of the leading
authorities on chlldren's diseases, says
that it is due to two causes impure
milk and heat and that it is not the
outdoor heat so much as the stirling
heat of the house that kills the baby.
Artificial feeding is another impor-
tant cause, according to Holt. Only
five per cent, or one III of twenty
babies which die of summer complaint,
are breast fed. SO the baby nursed by
its mother has FIVE times as good a
chance of escaping this disease as n
that is bottle fed or given some pre-
pared food.
Next to mothers milk, Holt consid-
ers cleanliness, fresh air and quiet as
important. The baby must be kept
clean, A bath every day and in very
hot weather twice a day, morning and
evening, is necessary. The baby must
be kept cool. Just as little clothing as
possible and as much outdoor air as
possible win help to protect him from
sickness.
Protect the baby from flies. Give
him plenty of cool air and sunshine.
Keep him clean and keep everything
around him clean. Feed hin breast
milk or If he must be given artificial
food, clean milk p%asteurized or boiled
and kept clean and cool until feeding
time. Give him plenty Of water and
a cool airy sleeping place at night and
his chances for escaping summer com.
plant will be greatly Increased.

HOW TO KEEP
WELL
DR.. Frederick r. Green,

WHY WE Battle

DURING the reign of one Of the
dissolute kings OF the old French
monarchy, a great fete and pageant
was planned TO amuse and entertain
the king and his c~ourtiers. In one of
the %tableaux, it was necessary to have
a child represent a golden cupid So
the child of one of the court attend
ants vas selected for the part. He
was covered from head to foot with
gold leaf. The spectacle was a grand
success and the little golden boy was
greatly admired. But unfortunately
he died a few hours later, as a result
Of having his skin covered for hours
with an alright, waterproof over
ing.
We all know that if we wear a
rubber coat in the rain. when we take
1t of it is apt to be as wet inside as
it is outside. Many a waterproof coat
has thus fallen under suspicion Of not
being what the makers or the dealers
guaranteed it to be. Yet it was truly
waterproof and so kept moisture from
getting out as well as getting in.
The skin is something more than a
covering for the body. 1t is also a
heat regulator and an important excre-
tory organ. If given a fair chance, it
keeps the body at the same tempera-
ture, winter and summer. 1t also ex-
cretes a large amoun of water from
the body. If the pores of the skin
are choked up, then double work Is
thrown on the kidneys and If this
goes on for any long period of time,
the kidneys are overworked and may
break down or be irritated so as to
greatly interfere with their work.
In the summer when We sweat free
ly, most of the surplus water in our
bodies is excreted by the skin, so that
in amount, highly concentrated and
dark in color. In the winter, when we
perspire less, the kidney excretions
are large in amount, greatly diluted
and pale straw color. These varia-
tons, due to natural causes and en-
tlreIy normal, have caused many peo-
pie much uneasiness.
Why do we battle? To remove the
dirt and dried perspiratiOn that would
otherwise clog our pores. We have
learned from race-old experience that
when the skin is kept clean we are
not as much affected by changes of
temperature. We are cooler in sum-
mer and warmer in winter and we are
less subject to chilling by sudden
change of temperature. The nearer
man lives to. nature the less he needs
to battle. The more artificial our
lives. the more artificial NEAR we
have to use to keep our skins work

Malaria, which has caused so much
trouble in other parts of the world,
is now practically unknown in Swe-
den, but the Royal meteorological in
stitute of Stockholm is engaged in
making a study of the Anopheles mos
quito, which carries its germ. This
mosquito is harmless unless it has
sucked the blood of a person with
the disease, and has had time to de-
velop the parasites in its own system.
Not being located in a malaria zone,
Sweden is in slight danger of infec-
ton, but n an epidemic should break
out abroad travellers might bring the
disease. In such a case the institute
is prepared to take immediate meas
ures to check it.

Corn and Soy Beans Are
Good for Hogging Down

The practice of hogging down corn
is growing by leaps and bounds in
all the corn belt states. It has been
proved to be profitable. 1t saves
labor, In fact. it seems as though
when hogs gather their corr in the
field. especially so when 1t is prop
erly supplemented with a protein feed
like tankage, they can produce nor
pork from a given amount than when
fed in dry lot. Perhaps that is due
to the 0 sanitary conditions under
which they live In the cornield. Per-
haps, under those conditions, their
digestive organs work efficiently. Be
that as 1t may, as previously stated,
the practice is profitable.
In more recent a it has been
found that a given acreage Of mixed
corn and 0 beans viii produce more
pork thar corn alone. The reason is
that soy beans furnish protein in
which corn is lacking. BY growing
the two crops together a ration that
is well balanced for hogs Is obtained.
Besides, the leaves Of the heans
furnish succulence along with the
protein in the seed ana that is an
advantage. These leaves contain
vitamins that are essential TO the
growth 3

Rye Is Surest for
Winter Cover Crop
Makes More Growth on Poor
Soils Than Any Other.

OF all winter cover crops, rye is the
surest and the nearest fool proof.
1T viii make more growth on poor
soils, whether clay or sandy, than
any other. II is resistant to winter
killing, and may be sown successfully
from August to December, but, Octo-
Der / is probably the best date Of
sowing for most localities says e. c.
Blair, agronomist for the North Caro-
lima State College Of Agriculture. "A
bushel Of seed should be used per
acre. The seed may be scattered over
a cor or cotton field and covered with
a one-horse c~uitivator. This may be
done at laying-in time or just after
the first picking Of cotton. Rye mag
be sown this way in a corr field, or
the corn may be removed, the land
disked and the rye drilled In"
Mr.. Blair states that rye often gives
good grazing in the fan when sown
early. 1t win also give grazing in
the early spring. Live stock should
he taken of In time for the crop to
make good growth for turning under.
The rye should be turned under as
soon as the heads begin to show, as
at this time it win rot quickly Ia the

tion and soil moisture conditions aIl

Rye is not a legume. Mr.. Blair
points out and takes no nitrogen from

ing of the soil, the checking of ero-
sion and in adding organic matter TO
the soil when turned under. 1t is one
of the best crops to improve the filth
of the soil in this way. Whenever
the suecess of a leguminous cover crop
is doubtful, rye should be sown with
the legume.

Carefully Store Apples
for Use During Winter

Care should be taken when storing
winter apples TO do this job "just
right" Apples keep to the best adj
vantage where each apple is wrapped
separately In paper. If the apples
are not already wrapped the wise
householder wraps each one himself (;
but where this seems to be too much
like work, at least be careful to put
them in paper-lined barrels or boxes
and then go over" them frequently
during the winter to pick out any
that may shown signs OF decay, for
one bad apple will spoil a whole
barrel"
Care should also be taken not 70
store the apples too near strong vege-
tables, such as turnips, onions, or
even potatoes. For apples, like but
ter, are apt to take on the odors Of
other food that happens TO be near
them. Everyone knows that apples
should be stored in a good dry cellar
and in a cellar that will keep them
cold but where they will not be
frozen.
The tart varieties of apples are the
best for canning purposes. All bruised
spots, of course, should be carefully
cut away from the fruit before cook
ing it. The most completely salts
factory method of preserving the
apple is to make it into apple sauce
and then place 1t in well-sterilized
