Byron Specie, Righthander,
Obtained From Cleveland;
Brewers Win Monday.
Ey Eddie Ash

There will be a new Indian in
uniform at Washington Park
Wednesday,. lie is Byron Specie,
right-handed pitcher, who was OBJ
tanned today from the Cleveland
Americans as the final payment in
the deal that sent Johnny Hodapp
to the Speakerites last year.
Cleveland club officials said they
had ordered Specie to leave for In
dianapolis tonight.
Manager Bush has been trying to
| pry Specie loose from the majors all
| spring, but met with trouble when
one American League team refused
to grant waivers until today.
Finished Good i'm 1925
The indianapolis hurting staff is
in a sorry condition and the coming
of Specie will be hailed with joy. He
is an underhanded finger and has
seen service in the majors with both
| Washington and Cleveland. He fin
ished good in 1925 and that's when
Ownie Bush named him as his choice
to close the Hodapp transaction.
Specie won three games and lost
five for Cleveland last season and
in ninety innings Of play the earned
run average against him was 4.30.
He ranked twenty-ninth in his
league which was higher than such
welI-known pitchers as Danforth
Shaute. Castor. Edwards, Thurston,
{ oil
took part in twenty-eight games in
1925. He bats right-handed.
The new Indian may be the spark
needed to get the Bushmen back in
the stride that caused them to look
the part Of pennant contenders at
the start OF the race.
l8 Run by Brewers
The TribeSmen came out of their
batting slump Monday and got
fifteen hits and eight runs, but the
pitching staff evidently was over

collapsed Result: Twenty-Five hits
and eighteen runs for Milwaukee.
The series opener with the Brew
ers was terrible tnlng 10 look AT
from the viewpoint Of the home fans.
Hin, Reynolds. Niles and Weaver
took turns at finginG from the
Tribe mound, but base hits by the
opposition kept raining.
1t was the fifth straight defeat
suffered by the IIoosiers on their
home ground, and they still are in
the maiden class at Washington
Park this season.
The team tumbled from second to
seventh place in the A. A. standing,
but the chances of landing in the
cellar are meager, as Columbus is

WAR OF INSECTS
By Garrett P. Seryiss

without victory, the great desid-
eratum is more knowledge,
quickly acquired.
Thus / find Dr. Austin III.
Clark, of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition saying:
I'VE are fortunate in this coun.
try In having perfected to an ex-
tent found in no other land
methods for the control of insect
pests. But what we have done
in this direction has already out
stripped the facts upon which
must be based really effective
work. Our methods have been
advanced beyond the detailed
knowledge of the results achieved.
In our methods of control we do
not always know what it is we
do"
Insect As An Ally
l have taken the liberty to
underscore the last sentence
above because of it's striking sig
ntftcance. In the World War it
sometimes happened, through ig
norance, or imperfect knowledge
(which is often as bad as ignor-
ance) that more friends were hurt
than enemies. So in the insect
war we must be careful to uu.
derstand all the effects of the
methods and agencies that we
employ.
The insect or the parasite en-
ployed as an ally is sometimes
dismayingly capricious. We must
know the character and the Croft
chefs OF our multitudll4ous, mi
mute allies, and that implies
original investigation in ento-
mology. To show how the. ento.
mologist has to disentagle "a
vast web of interviewer facts full
OF incongruities and apparent
contradictions almost too vast
Tor human comprehension" DIR.
Clark offers the example of
those pretty and delicate little
butterflies which as caterpilIars
reed wholly upon large and fero-
clous ants, especially the dreaded
green 'tree-driver.' Ants are per-
maps the most inveterate destroy
ers OF the eggs and very young
or nearly all the butterflies: yet

any of the kinds of butterflies

The Citizens Advisory Council

The DADDY Of the Council idea is Commissioner BELL,
who felt that lack Of popular expression through su

between the people of Washington and the District Com
missioners.
nearly as without all citizens
voting regular elections should be chosen advise with
the Commissioners of budget legislation etc
It was to be expected that the Advisory Council might
not always be agreement with the views of the Commits
body created adjunct to the Com
ssioners independent body having thoughts and
opinions of its
Strictly in an advisory capacity the Commissioners the
differences of opinion might result could be adjusted but

body have sought the recommendations of the Council

committees also receive the recommendations Of the District

SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
by Helen Rowland

Passing Of Mans Beauty
MY daughter, there is sound
4V1 Of revolt. throughout the
landl
Lo, the voices of the men have
risen in protest, crying:
Down with the double standard
in collars! Down with the four
ply linen and the tyranny OF
woman!
Down with the throat cutters,
the starched chokers, and the
ingrowing collar-buttoni
Wherefore, shall there be one
law for man--and none for
woman?
Wherefore shall a mans neck
be cribbed, cabined and confined
in rigid linen, while a woman's
neck is free to turn whithersoever
it listeth?
Alas, too long have we sub
mitted to the Inconsistent Sex,
and permitted wives and dumb
bells and debutanteS to dictate the
covering of our necks. and the
swathing of our Adams apples!
Then. let us be free and equal!
For q mans Adams apple is his
only remaining mark of mascu-
line distinction! And. why shall
he hide it with blushing?"
And. behold. the lords of the
Il n
flung away their bulwark of manly
beauty, and betaken themselves to
rundown collars!
And the chieftains of the Army
have stripped their captains and
lieutenants of all their charm and
glory and robbed them of their
chokers. And, 10, it hath come
to pass, that thou cans't not tell
an Admiral from bellhop, nor a
general from an hotel porter!
Yea, the radicals and the liter
att and the bolshevists have long
since boldly barred their neCks 10
the light, and Haunted theiP un-
sightliness above windsor ties and
soft collars!
And behold, the Adams apples
of the land shine forth without
shame and without bushes!
And the blue streak, and the
red streak, and the sunburned
streak mingle with the mark of
the collar button TO smite the
eyes of women!
How then. shall damsel find
the romantic ideal of her dreams
in a world Of collarless men?
For. the Prince of Wales and
Ben Turpin are brothers under
the Chin--and Valentino and Bar
ney Google may be twins, beneath
the collar!
Alas. where Is there beauty,
where is there, glamour. where is
there a thrill left in all Babylon?
For, love must indeed be blind,
il a woman can lose here heart to
q man without a collar!

A Harlesden widow applied for
a summons of assault against a
young man with whom she had

months. Applicant alleged that
he pushed her into horse

Perhaps he is cultivating some

At Padstow court:
A family receiving parochial

At Tottenham:

you'd call it that. He paints
