Probably that will be the best
amusement he will have all the Sum-
mer, because there are thousands Of
boys who do not have the means to
go away from home to some resort
and enjoy their Summer in COM
partnership with other small boys who
have been similarly fortunate.
The sore arm usually Is the result
Of too hard throwing at the very be-
ginning Of the season when the boy
starts to think Of base ball after the
frost has left the ground and the
sway of marbles has expired.
Take Care of Your Arm.
Boys should take as much care Of
their arms when they begin to throw
in the Spring as the big league
pitcher takes care of his arm. The
boy gets cut in company with other
lake, IL there is a lake in the neigh
borhood, or to the river, to look every
thing over after the ice has gone out.
and the first thing that each Of them
attempts Is to skip stones over the
surface Of the water. The first try
gets away a good skip for one bounce.
But that isn't enough. The boy
wants to skip a stone twice and three
times, and more IL he can get enough
good speed In his throw. The first
thing he knows he is putting all his
strength into his effort.
Maybe the next day he wishes to
play ball for the first time. or for
the second time, IL conditions are
right, and when he tries to throw
the ball a sharp pain causes him to
double up IN agony, because tender
and wrenched shoulder can hurt al
most as much as a sprained ankle.

pie Mcpherson and her mother, Mrs
Minnie Kennedy, tonight refused eth
er to affirm or deny that they will go
to Douglas, Ariz., to identify further
the shack in Sonora, Mexico, discov-
cred by Arizona investigators, and be-
lieved by the evangelist to be the one
in which she says she was held cap
tive until she escaped June %.
f OF the proposed visit, Mrs Kennedy
said:
"If we go back to Douglas, we in
tend to either let the world know we
are going, or go quietly and let no one
know, so that sister will not be both
cred by newspaper reporters How
ever inasmuch as Douglas people were
not aware of ou rsecond trip there and
were disappointed at not seeing sister,
we will probably keep our movements
public They want her to come down
there and it is only fair to them that
they know she is coming"
On Mrs McPhersons first return to
Douglas to attempt to identify a shack
discovered near there, she and her
mother left Angelus temple without
announcement, but the trip and their
destination were discovered shortly
after they boarded their train. News
paper men accompanied Mrs. McPher-
son on her trip into the desert on that
occasion.
Mrs. Kennedy also disclosed that she
and Mrs. Mcpherson had engaged some
time ago two Mexican detectives. She
said they had discovered Startling in
formation" but that the fact that. they
had been hired had been kept secret,
even from the evangelist's attorneys.
She said the evangelist's mail had
been tampered with and telephone tap
ped, causing this secret move Mrs.
McPherson's chief counsel, Arthur
Veitch, said he had not been informed
of the Douglas developments until he
saw the report in newspapers tonight.

there is any prospect, for the present,
at least, of general uprising or vio-
lence, although belated dispatches, Civ
ing details of clashes in various parts
of the country several days ago, reveal
that they were more serious than at
first reported. One of these dis
patches. telling of clash at Guadal-
jara Sunday, says that troops had to be
rushed to battle with the crowd, five
persons being badly wounded, includ-
ing the chief of police Two policemen
and a number of civilians received
minor injuries.
The trouble began when the CHIEF of
the local secret service was insulted by
a crowd while passing the Church of
Jesus. When the chief demonstrated
with the crowd, they attacked and kill
ed him. His body showed seven stab
wounds, a bullet wound and many
bruises.
General speculation is centering on
how long the economic boycott design
ed by the League for the Defense Of
Religious Freedom, can continue and
how serious it can become From sec
tions of the republic, reports have come
in that Catholics are making only the
most necessary purchases, in the hope
of compelling the government to re-
wise the religious regulations. Many
business houses, whose business already
was depressed before the religious sit
uation developed, ay that they are be-
ginning to feel the reduction or cessa-
tion of purchases.
