Base Thcfts Hon0rs

Three clubs are waging merry battle for base-stealing honors. They are Pittsburgh Washington and Chicago. The trio has been running neck-and-neck all season.
 The Pirates are at present out in front and seem likely to stay there. They have almost doubled the total of their nearest rival in the old cir cut. But any club boosting such sack-snatchers as Carey and Cuyler ought to be leading the procession.
 Washington has a slight edge on the White SoX and With Eddie Col lins out of thegame has been pull ing away of late. The Senators arc still few hassocks behind the Pi- rates, however.
 Carey and Cuylcr arc topping the old circuit in individual efforts on the sacks with Johnny MostiI and Sam Rice showing the way in the Johnsonian ensemble.

MAJOR LEAGUE TEAMSNOW
 MORE CLOSELY PUNCHED
.CLINCH AND RENE
 ARE BOTH LOSERS
Local Boys Rested in Excellent Amateur Card at Turner Hall

Two technical knockouts and two overtime bouts added thrill to an ex- Cellent card of amateur boxing pre- scented last night at Turner hall on Arch street by Matchmaker Joe Jer- ard under the auspices of Corbctt's Health school in Hartford.
 Cunningham Too Tall
 It was unfortunate that Jimmie Clinch and Gene Rene. the two local boys on the card both lost in their initial appearance before New Britain audience. Clinch fought Bill Cunningham, former light weight champion of the state. Gun ningham, tall and long of reach was able 10 hold Clinch off and send long drives while Jimmie found himself greatly at q disadvangage, gaining points only 'on rushes. Clinch will never beat Cunningham over the three round route unless he develops into Kid Kaplan, or Bill goes in to a slump. Packing the heavier wallop a longer fight might tell a different story for Clinch, however. Bill was not nearly as willing 10 mix at the windup as Jimmie who ap- peared just as strong as at the start nfc

Last year there were but eight major league hurlers who reached the 20-game class in victories. Each circuit supplied four.
 In the American Walter Johnson. Herb Pennock, Hollis Thurston and Joe Shaute made the grade.
 "Dazzy" Vance, Burleigh Grimes, Carl Mays and Wilbur Cooper turn ed the trick in the National. Brook lyn was the only club 10 place more than one in the circle, getting a pair,
 Johnson topped the junior or ganization in triumphs with 23, Vance led the National with 2S. one of the best achievements in recent seasons. Grimes had 22, Pennock o1 and the rest just got by with | 20 wins.
 The performances of Thurston and Shaute were especially note worthy in that they mounted the heights while hurling for second di- vision outfits.
 The 1924 campaign, indeed, was one of the leanest in some time when it came to producing 20-gamo | winners.
 More This Season
 This year things are somewhat different. For from the present in- dications about an even dozen arc ] apt to break into the select class.
 Included in the group arc six from each circuit namely. Johnson Covelesllie, Lyons, Rommel, Reu, ther and Harriss as American league representatives. And Vance Yde, Meadows, Morrison, Rixey and Donohue of the National wheel.
 Some of them have already reach. cd the double decade department with the others just few triumphs away.
 But of the 1924 bunch only two Johnson and Vance, stack up as re. peatcrs, Each has followed one good year with another, though Vance got away to a rather bad start.

Mike Sarkis of Hartford lost 10 Johnny Krock of Meriden after an overtime round had given the Meri- den lad change to land some healthy wallops, Tho judges dis agreed in this bout, both in the regu- lar three rounds and ill the addition al one round and the referee point ed out Johnny as the winner.
 The Clmch- Cunningham argument finished the show.
 Although it is the customary pro cedure 10 match the principals Tn a return bout when the first ends without a knockout, Matchmaker Jcrard will gain nothing by putting CIinch and Cunningham in the ring again. for some time at least. Clinch looked the equal Of anyone his size and build in last nights show, but against Cunningham or anyone else of his stature, Jimmie is hopclessly lost.

 Kudlow Looks Good
 What looked like the most prom ising lad on the entire card was ushered in for the third bout in the person of Frank Kudlow of Wall ingford. He lined up against Vim cent Gullo of Meriden, a lad who looked like Babe Herman and squar- ed off like the walloping native Of Portugal.

OF course Little Jack Rabbit was
anxious to tell Lady Love all he had
learned from Professor Jim Crow.
You remember, little reader, how
some two or stree stories ago that
wise old bird had instructed the
benny boy as to the way the trees
and bushes store up seeds for the
winds to plant and the birds to cat.
How the goldenrod makes nest in
it's stalk for the mother t1y's egg, and,
Oh dear me, many other interesting
things. Lady Love listened with
quiet smile, but when her small rab-
bit son began to tell her about the
deserted nest of the white-faced
hornets, she said, Il remember early
last May watching the queen mother
hornet creep from crevice in the
hollow chestnut tree where she had
spent the winter. Dear, Oh dear, she
was lean and hungry. All the other
hornets had died from the cold,-all
but this one mother queen. who after
summing herself for a time, began TO
chew the fibre from dead limb close
by, AS soon as she had chewed it to
a soft pulp she flew straight to the
very berry bush on which you have
lust seen the empty balloon nest or
the white faced hornets. 1t took her
long time TO CneW ana IIldhe Hlto
paper pulp the wood fibre with which
to begin the nest half the size of an
egg. This was divided into small
cells, in each of which she laid
workers egg. For the first brood she
laid only workers eggs so that she
might have others to help her build
the nest yet larger. And when the
eggs Matched into tiny grubs she fed
them with honey and pollen, and as
they grew older, with meat hash
of insects which she caught ana
chewed fine. AS soon as the tiny
grubs grows large enough to fill the
cell he stops eating and spins for
himself a silk covering. Then he
keeps very quiet for a few days
changing from a grub to a winged
creature"
isn't that the way butterfly
comes out of it's chrysalis?" asked
the bunny boy.
YES, little son." answered Lady
Love. only the young hornet is
dragged out of his cell at the proper
time by the queen hornet

THE MATTER OF TAX RELIEF

Tax relief lies very close to the
venture to dispute that, not even
those in Congress, who would pre-
fer that tax reduction should not be
so great as to leave no pork for
them. They, one and all. will loudly
champion tax reform but watch
what they do with their knives when
they think no one is looking!
The tax bill slides off the ways
with, more of gracefulness and ap-
parent ease than usually are as
ISOLATED with the launching of such
measures. Ostensibly it has been
framed by a non partisan effort on
the part Of the House ways and
means committee. Good words are
being spoken about 1t by certain
leaders Of both parties. but there
are plenty of leaders or would-be
leaders lurking outside the arena
and planning to time their entrance
by verbal fireworks.
A Democratic member of the COM
mittee will present a minority re-
port. He charges that the majority
report comedies too much to the re-
ceivers of large incomes. How
Brother Reed will roll that as q
sweet morsel under his vibrating
tongue, when once the measure gets
into the Senate. Then will arise the
mighty and demonstrate manifold
reasons why the Dawes rules are
needed in the Senate, also why GER
tain of the mighty would expire in
paroxysms and frothing at the
lnuuth before permitting those rules
to be adopted.
There will be until March 18th
ample opportunity for those whs
would postpone the World Court te
the tax bill Strenuous efforts will
lie made by Borah, Walsh of Mon
tana, Norris. and others who can
not look at Congressional Record
without being affected by verbal
Adrool Moreover, has not young
LaFollette to test his spurs on the
tanks of any measure bearing the
sanction of the Republican party?
1t is Said the President is much
gratified at the bipartisan effort
made on the part of the House com
1inittee and the assurance that the
measure will receive prompt con-
sideration in the House. So far sc
good. The sooner the bill comes to
the Senate the greater the nuisance
that body will have to make of itself
IL it unduly prolongs consideration
of. a measure in which there Is SC
much of. public interest.

WAGES AND LIVING EXPENSES

President Coolidge's statement in
lis New York address respecting
wage improvement in this country
since 1920 are made more impressive
Since the experts in the department
Of labor have checked up the cost of
wages along with the cost of food,
clothpy and Of living generally.
Stated exactly on information COM
piled by the experts OF the Depart
n1ent of Labor, union labor wages in
1920 were 80 per cent above the pre-
war or 1913 date.
Secretary Davis is quoted as say
ing:
The average wholesale price of
commodities in 1920 was 126 per
cent above the 1913 rate. Union
wages index increased. except for the
one year 1922, until in 1924 it was
1928 per cent above the 1913 rate,
while wholesale prices declined from
1876 per cent to 81 per cent above
the pre-war level in June. 1925"

and get some of the profits from the
increase in price.
Florida as winter resort and
Montauk Point as a summer resort, is
the plan Mr.. Fisher and his associates
are working on. The only objection
Maine people can see in it is that in
stead of settling upon Montauk Point
Mr.. Fisher and the men who work
with him in these developments
should have come to Maine.
This State has all that Montauk
Point can offer and great many
things in addition. When the men and
organizations who have been develop
ing Florida can also be made to see
the possibilities that exist in Maine
we will probably witness some re-
markable developments here.

Three Generations of Women

Since the humble origin of Lydia
r. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in
1881, made on a kitchen stove, three
generations of women have used this
fashioned root and herb remedy
for their ailments with wonderful
success. Very often we hear of fami-
lies where the grandmother, mother
and daughter testify to its virtue.
This accounts for the astounding
growth and demand for this depend
able medicine from all over the Uni
ted States and from many foreign
countries as well.

Women in Industry
Washington Conference

Washington. d. c., Nov. 2I.-All
oational women's organizations ana
all national organizations having d
large proportion of women members
are being asked to send delegates
to the Women's Industrial CONFER
ence in Washington, January 10 70
II. Employers and business organi-
cations have also been invited me
call to the conference was issued
today by the Women's Bureau of
the l., s. Department of Labor, ac-
companied by a letter of endorse
ment and approval from the Secre-
tary of Labor, who says:
",rhere are eight and half mil
lion employed women and their
number is increasing rather than
decreasing. 1t seems to me that this
situation creates special problems
which call for careful consideration
of means by which to safeguard the
mothers and potential mothers OF
the nation. In the last decade the
increase of married women in man
ufacturing and mechanical indus
tries was Al per cent. In the occu-
pations connected with trade there
has been an increase of III per cent
for all women employed but an in
crease of IS per cent among mar
ried women. Therefore, 1t is i'm
possible to separate entirely the
problems of motherhood from the
conditions under which women are
employed. There is nothing more
important in our civilization and ev-
cry thinking American must realize
this situation. 1t is with great plea
sure, therefore, that | approve of
your plans for calling a three-day
conference"
Miss Mary Anderson, Director of
the Women's Bureau, which is hold
ing the conference, says in her call
which goes out today:
1.-The Women's Bureau believes
that a conference of women, includ-
ing Representatives from all national
organizations of women and other
interested groups would go far not
only to focus attention on the prob.
lens involved. but to help in the
development of policies and stand
ards for the effective employment
of women in industry. Our indus
trial success will depend largely up
on the practices in industry which
make for the health and happiness
Of women workers. 1t is with this

REFoREsTATloN

Twenty-six states adopting favor
able forestry legislation and fifty
large lumber companies engaging in
reforestation during the past year
are features of bulletin from the
National Lumber Mfrs Assn. What
is considered the most radical Of the
legislation is that of Michigan, once
famous for it's lumber resources and
now largely stripped bare. There
the state must begin at the beginning
and at greater expense than would
have been required had numbering In
that state been conducted with
view to conserving the necessary
lumber for succeeding generations.
Under this law the forest land is
taken out of the land tax group ana
made subject to a tax when the
lumber is removed. The land itself
has placed upon it fiat annual TAX
of five cents an acre of pine and ten
cents per acre on hardwood lands
and while the forests are growing
this tax is contributed to the coun-
ties by the state to prevent Local
diminutior in tax receipts.
California exempts growing trees
from taxation. Maine in the legis-
latures of 1921 and '23 approved an
ARRANGEMENT whereby timberland
may be set aside from the taxable
property, plans of this land being
filed with the authorities, and the
tax be collected when the timber is
cut under the supervision of the
state forestry commissioner.
What with the increasing demand
for our forest products, notwith-
standing the substitutes offered. the
wisdom of making provisions for the
future may hardly be questioned
Where there has been neglect to &c
so the public is confronted by con-
siderable expense, If the restoration
is to amount to much. Europe is re-
ported to have a wiser conception OF
conservation of forests than has the
United States.

STAND BY THE PLATFORM.

Congress is at least nominally Re-
publican; it is capable of approving
the World Court if it's Republication
be anything but perfunctory For
evidence take the plank in the ma
tional platform for 1924. Here it is:
/ 'The Republican Party reaffirms
its stand for agreement among the
nations to prevent war and preserve
ueace. AS an immediate step in this
direction we endorse the Permanent
Court of International Justice and
favor the adherence of the United
States to this tribunal as recon-
rhended by President Coolidge"
