PENNANT WINNING
STREAKS BROKEN
Baltimore and Fort Worth at
Last Appear to Be Checked
Photo by johnson & Peterson.

New York, Sept. 3 (P}-The long
est brace of winning streaks
in baseball history, those of Balti-
more in the International league and
Forth Worth in the Texas league,
appear at last TO have been checked.
Each Of these championship out
fits is now in third place and with
the close of the campaigns in sight
their chances of landing at the top
another season virtually have been
eliminated. The International
schedule ends September 10 and the
Texas season September -.
Baltimore has ruled the Interna-
tional league heights for seven con-
secutive seasons under the leader
ship of Jack Dunn, establishing
record for minor or major league
competition.
Fort NNorth's reign has covered
the past six years. The Texas club.
managed by Jackie Atz, would be
sharing the record with baltimore
but for the fact that in 1919 a.ter
winning the second half of the
league season, it was beaten by
Shreveport in the playoff.
Toronto, in the International. and
Dallas, in the Texas circuit, appear
likely to replace the perennial pen
nant-winners inasmuch as each now
holds a substantial lead.
The major league record for sue
cessive pennant victories is four, a
mark that has been reached only
three times. Boston, in the old Ma
tional association, first registered the
feat, from 1872 to 1875 st. Louis
duplicated the achievement in the
old American association, from 1885
to 1888, marking the first and last
time that the Mound City has had
a pennant winner in fast company.
The New York Giants won four in
a row, from 1921 to 1924.

Registration
of Aliens Is
a Silly Plan
New York World Brands Espi-
Onage as Both Silly
and Unjust

New York-"To register aliens is
not only unjust, it is silly" says the
New York World.
"The secretary of labor seems to
have forgotten that for all reason
able purposes we have registration of
aliens already" says the World edi-
tor "When the immigrant enters
this country he is required to tell his
age, financial status, proposed place
of residence, etc, and this informa-
tion is recorded. Afterward, if ques-
tion arises about him, he can easily
be traced and investigated. That is,
if he has entered lawfully.
"But, say proponents of the secre-
tary's scheme, how about the alien
who entered unlawfully? That is
precisely the point: How about him
Does anyone believe that this scheme
will bag him? Suppose the secre-
tary's plan can be made to work.
Suppose our postmasters, clerks of
courts and school teachers leap at
this chance to do extra work; suppose
all the 3,087 counties in the United
States do their share without a single
instance of Indifference; suppose,
even, that the competent source of
training is located. Will a single un-
lawfully entered alien enroll himself
to be forthwith deported? To ask
that question is to answer it.
"Unless a gigantic new special po-
lice force is provided, what this
scheme means is that the alien who
entered lawfully, and who is not our
primary concern, will be harried un-
duly, laid open to blackmail by his
enemies and persecution by local
busy-bodies; while the bootlegged for
eigner, the object of all this fuss, is
not even scathed."

Frame-UpC Cost
Is Wanted By
u. S. Senate
Attempt to Get" Mr.. Wheeler
Is Claimed to Be a Very
Expensive FiZzle

Washington, d. C.-By a vote OF
81 to 13 the senate passed a resolu-
ton calling on the department OF JUS
tice for an itemized report of ex-
penditures in its prosecution of Sen
ator Wheeler.
The governments case against the
Montana lawmaker collapsed, but
friends of the resolution claim that
hundreds of thousands of dollars were
spent to "get" MI. Wheeler, and that
this information should be made pub
lie.
Opponents of the resolution insist
ed that the department of justice
would have difficulty in securing
prosecutions, if this precedent were
established.
Senator Norris called attention to
the propaganda for economy and to
opposition to the senate's investiga-
ton of Teapot Dome, which cost con-
siderable money.
"Now let us see what the other side
is doing" said Mr.. Norris "Let US
see whether the department of JUS
tice in this case has spent any money
unnecessarily, and how much"

The Health Camp

One of the most laudable and
beneficial of the many COM
mendable enterprises success
fully conducted by the generous
people of Licking county is the
Health Camp, and a campaign to
raise the necessary funds for
it's maintenance this year is now
under way.
Four years ago there were
four such camps in Ohio, in 1925
the number was seventeen, and
this year it will increase to tWen-
ty-two. They are looked after
by the state department of
health, but are financed and
maintained by civic organiza-
tions in the counties where they
are located.
Untold good has resulted to
the undernourished children
who have spent a couple of
months at these camps, one
tWelve-year-old girl in Ashta-
bula having gained seventeen
pounds in eight weeks; and the
average gain of all children in
the seventeen camps last year
was seven and one-fourth
pounds.
To successfully conduct a re-
sort along the lines of that in
Licking county, it is necessary
that there be a camp nurse,
who serves as director, the die
tician, and an assistant dietician
and a playground director, in
addition to cooks and other
assistants. This, of course,
costs money, and it is for the
purpose of paying the necessary
expenses that the assistance of
the generous public is being So
licited.
Don't stint in your donation,
the benefits derived are worth
much more than their cost in
money. Remember the scrip
ture injunction, Freely we have
received; freely give"

In
Coal Mines Can
Be Prevented
Rock busting in BituminOus
Mines Will Stop These
Fatal CalamitieS

Washington, D. C.-There is "a
positive means of preventing" dis
astrous mine explosions, according to
Scott Turner, director of the United
States bureau of mines.
"The bureau has conclusively prov
ed that rock-dusting of bituminOus
mines is sure remedy for these
wide-sweeping explosions" said Mr..
Turner. "By rock-dusting | mean
the spreading of incombustible dust
throughout a mine in sufficient
amount to cool and eXtinguish the
flame of an incipient explosion:
at is not possible toykeep bitumin-
Gus mines free from coal DUST" con-
tinued Mr.. Turner. "Some coal is
inevitably reduced to dust in mining,
blasting, loading and hauling, but
much can be done to lessen the dis
tributiOn and formation of the dust.
The precautions include the use of
water-sprays on the cutter-bars of
machines and spraying the tops OF
loaded cars. The most important pre-
caution is to use tight cars and not
build the coal high above their sides.
This will prevent coal being spilled
and ground to dust along the mine
tracks and will keep dust from being
blown off the tops of cars by air cur
rents. To make and distribute coal
dust by mine cars is virtually equiva-
lent to laying trains Of gunpowder
along the entries.
"Rock-dust can now be supplied
cheaply and quickly by machines. Use
OF light-colored dust, such as lime
stone dust, also helps the illumina-
ton of passageways and thus tends
to prevent haulape accidents"
