CLEVELAND. June s. That the
American League champions are
playing with their heads as well as
with their hands and feet was
shown By their methods against Art
Johns. the Detroit southpaw. and
these same methods VIII mark the
play Of the team throughout he
campaign They offer an insight
into the reason why Buclky Harris
keeps his chin up Ia the face Of
frequent defeats.
On May 10 Art Johns, a Texas
League veteran. pitched his first
game against the champions in.
Washington. He administered B.
Whitewash, the Tigers winning, 6 to.
Q. Bush lasted five innings that
day, and the five runs he permitted
were sufficient to decide the tray.
Johns allowed six hits, no two
coming In any one inning. He
Z made Peck. BucIxy Harris and
doe Harris look foolish when bits
might have caused trouble. They
were right-hand hitters, ton, yAa
they could not fathOm his stuff.
Throughout that game the 9sriffg
watched and studied the newcomer
with the Tigers. They tried every
way imaginable to discover bis
possible weakness. OF course, sl1ey
were helpless that day and went
down to defeat. That was on May

different.

players. This Is customary, espe-
cially for the opening OF each
series, but Johns had been an
nounced as Cobb's pitching ,selec-
tion and Harris wanted to try out

the Griffs badly. They swung at

Eight hits and two passes came

over the plate before Ty Cobb
called upon George Dauss for aid.
Johns is not likely to bother the
champions much again this year.
I'll admit that right now our
pitching staff is the worst in the
league, with the single exception
of the Browns" said Manager
Harris today. But that is only
temporarily. / know that the old
fellows win come through and then
well have as good a bunch as
there is in the league.

practice of fraternity or otherwise, is
confronted by this situation, namely
the lack of attendance.
Clergymen, reformers and lecturers
place part of the blame on automo-
biles, declaring them indirectly re-
sponsible for this condition. Popular
opinion has it that drive in car on
sultry night is far more enjoyable
than sitting in church or a lodge
room where the humidity is great.
One will always find handful of reg
ulars, however, willing to endure
either frjgid temperature or humidity
if you please, the willing workers"
In Garrett Lodge, it is nonetheless
true. Many reside in rural districts,
others in remote places. These are in
a measure excusable. Certainly we
should consider it a privilege as a
duty to attend whenever possible. We
find young men lounging idly on the
street corners, apparently with no OBJ
ject in life, no interest in current
events, civic or national affairs. Many
having plenty of time are uniformed
on everyday topics. Newspapers and
magazines have no place in their lives.
We admit that recreational agen-
cies are vitality essential to we'll
balanced life. In our local lodge there
abounds sound reasoning, fraternity,
educational features, business man.
agement, good fellowship. The facili-
ties for recreation found in our club
rooms, literature, radio, pool tables,
etc, are second to none in the State.
We urge both old and young to at
tend better in the future. Encourage
those who handle the affairs of your
lodge. Do your part, however humble
it may be.
We might write at length concern
ing attendance, and while it is not our
intention to associate material
thoughts with those pertaining to the
higher realm, yet the thought we wish
to convey might be more forcibly i'm
pressed if every one of our members
will brush the dust from his bible and
turn to Paul's Epistle to the Hebrews,
1925, and read at least the first part
of the verse and it will do him no
harm to read the whole chapter. Read
it, Knights, and let US see your Smil-
ing faces Friday night.

Poultrymen Urged to At.

ference

Benton county poultrymen will
be interested in an economic con-
ference on poultry which will be
held at the Hotel Winthrop, Taco
ma on August 80, and 81. Prob
lens which will undoubtedly be
considered will include production,
cost of production, Matching, incu-
batting, diseases, and local and ex-
port markets.
This is one of a series of con-
ferences being arranged by the
state college of Washington to as
sist in developing better balanc-
ed agriculture in the state. Con-
ferences have already been held
on dairying, hay, forage crops and
cereal crops. At later dates con-
ferences will be held to consider
other phases of Washington agri-
culture. The success of the past
conferences indicates that this is
valuable means of considering
the problem.

tend the conference. Men actively
engaged in various phases of poul-
try work will be asked to give
the meeting the benefit of their
experience. Data concerning the in

ton, have been compiled by spe-
cialists at the state college ito

MAKING TESTS
ON TIRE WEAR
Soon be Able to Tell How
Much Dirt Roads
Cost

Motorists of the state will soon
be able to tell approximately how
much the tires on their machines
wear on gravel roads, on pave
lnent and the rate of wear up and
down hills. This valuable informa-
ton is being gathered in series
of tests on the relative rates of
wear on different types of roads
being made at the present time by
the engineering experiment sta
ton of the state college.
Two medium heavy touring cars,
equipped with standard balloon
tires, are being driven between $50
and 200 miles each day, alternat-
ing between the crushed rock road
between Pullman and Palouse, and
the pavement near Colfax. At the
beginning and end of each trip the
tires are weighed. At the same
time experiments are being con-
Quoted as to the relative gasoline
consumption, and the relation Of
the performance Of the lubricating
oil to the physical properties Of
the oil.
The tests for the wear up and
down hill. were made on the Lew
iston grade, the tires being weigh
ed at the top and bottom of the
grade each trip.
The results of all the tests will
be put into a bulletin at the end
of the summer. This is the third
year that similar tests have been
conducted.
