His doctors and nurses may
advise him against attempting
such an early debut, but he is
a better man sick than they

cross his path, particularly if he
has bat in his hand
He is considered a very inn
portant slice of ballast to the
New York Yankees, but they
haven't been able to soar very
high without him aboard.
In fact, the Yanks' sliding
has been so rough that one win
in a row is considered a squirt,
a base on balls a batting rally
and a one-run defeat moral
victory.
Yes, the Yankees need Ruth.
In fact, they need anybody out

Getting one recruit for their
forces should help, even if they
get him from a hospital.
St. Louis has a manager and
first baseman that was an in
valid all of summer before last.
Detroit's center fielder and
pilot is being secuted by the

And Iris Speaker has been
lodging an old man with n

important gains have been made in

Thieves, Shoes.

'sShnes have played an important
part in the capture of criminals" said
Detective William Barrett of Buffalo.
Had it not been for the footwear of
certain thieves they would never have
been caught. 1t is not SO long ago
that | and two others were detailed on
a case. and before we caught u man
another shop had been burglarized. We
looked at the marks about the win
dows and noticed they were scraped
by nails. We went back to the other
place and found the same conditions.
Later we went into well-known - esort
and found a man sitting in a chair.
He. had his feet encased in a neat-ht-
ting pair of shoes, but fer some rea-
son he had nails put in the heels. We
dumped" him at once, and, searching
his rooms, we discovered enough loot
to start a store. He later explained
that the nails were put in his shoes to
aid in roof-climbing. Squeaky shoes
have caused the arrest of several
thieves right in this precinct. The 9th
er night a thief bought a pair of cheap
shoes and they we're very musical. The
man got into a place, and before he got
anything his noisy shoes gave him
away and he was caught. All clever
criminals have a penchant for buying
good soft shoes. They pay a good price
for them and they are repaid some
times by getting off with the swag to
pay up for what they spent."-Shoe

Smyrna, but that famous old city re-
CARDS the fig as the mainstay if its

making of Smyrna's year is the fig
festival. That takes place when the
export of the fig harvest from the
interior gets in. The first train load
enters the station with the engine
befagged, the wagons covered with
branches and garlands. and there are
artillery salutes and hourishes of
trumpets. These, however, are as

Execr0tion of Judas
Marks Mexican Easter

3 Easter throughout Mexico is cele-
brated by the hanging of Judas. For
two weeks before the end Of Lent the
shops display hundreds of quaint hg-
ures ranging In size and price from a
little toy a couple of inches long and
costing only / cent to an eight-foot
image Of the arch betrayer marked at
S25. All are made alike, being con-
structed with a light wooden frame
77ork and papier mache head with a
brightly painted complexion and
bristIing mop of coarse hair of raw
eled rope-yarn dyed black. Sometimes
Judas has a flowing beard, sometimes
only fierce mustaches, but he is al
ways made as repulsive as possible,
cross-eyed and be~etle-browed, with
huge outstanding ears and leering lips
On the very small Judases the hirsute
adornments are merely painted, but
what can be expected for only a cent?
Judas is always clothed in paper gar
ments of many eolors, green FREEDOM
mating, though why that particular
hue should be associated with the
crime Of the ages is a mystery as great
as the custom itself. The more expen-
sive Judas dolls are filled with FIRE
works that explode and make a great
racket when the match Is applied to
the efhgy. Others are stuffed with
candy, but these are only hung in prt-
vate grounds where the purchaser and
his friends can enjoy the sweets while
watching Judas burn.
Though the hated figure Is destroyed
In different ways it is always first
hung with appropriate maledictions
and insults, and left to bangle in the
breeze until nightfall, when 1t is either
set are to where it hangs, If 1t is pos
sible to do SO without e~ndangering
property, or cut down and thrown on
huge bonfres kindled for the purpose.
Sometimes Judas is dragged through
the streets by a rope attended by a
eingingA shouting mob of men and
boys until nothing Is left Of the
Of torn paper. All day long, while it
hangs from clothes lines, balconies,
street signs, hitching posts or trees,
Judas is stoned by every passing man,
woman and child. Many broken win
dowra are the result, but nobody com
plains, because it is the proper thing
to do. A Mexican would as Don for
get to go to mass on Good Friday as
20 pass a Judas without pelting it
with sticks, stones, chunks Of mud, tin
Gems, empty bottles or any missile
nearest to his hand. /,

ing on salt meat and timed food.
During eight months we lived in
dirt and slept in rubbish. During eight
long months not a single night passed
without alarm or without expectation

we had still greater labor and priva-

our sailors. Well, our chiefs have sue
