RAFTING SPREES 1T THE FINISH
 TWICE WON TITLE FOR IfEILNANN

NEW YORK, Nov. When Harry Eieilmann. Detroit slugger. heat out Al Simmons of pinla delphia for the American Lasgaa batting crown on the final day nf the season, it was he second time the Tiger star had turn 1 such a trick in the last three cam paigns.
 Back in 1925 Iris Speaker. then managing the Cleveland Indians. seemed to have pretty much of strangla hold on the swat title. Heilmann. however. came with rush during the closing weeks of the chase. gradually creeping IT on Speaker. who did but little plsying ia the final six w3aks.
 On the last day of the race. IIelmann turned loose hitting iamboree. iast as he did at tan windup of the present season, and nosed out Iris by four points. Thus, instead of Speaker gaining his second batting championship Che topped the list in 1916), Hell mann chalked rp his third.
 Heilmann's field day on th6ae two occasions recalls that Of Lar " Isajoe of the old Cleveland Maps in 1910. 1'y Cobb and Larry i. had been battling il out neck an neck They came to the last day of the chase with Cobb in the lead and what appeared like 2 safe@margin af that.
 Cleveland was booked for q double header at &: Louis on the closing day A comparative youngster, Red Corridor was GOV cring third for the Browns at the time. Lajoie went 10 bat some thing Ike nine times that af noon and was credited with eight safe nits, all df them little bunts down the third base line.
 There was quite bit of argu- ment following Larry's 1big day. the claim being made that he had been handed the hits in order tel wrest the crown which Cobb had worn for several seasons.
 In the final summing up. how ever, it was found that Cobb had topped Lajoie by little less than "a point, so Tvs mark of 1885 was good for another batting title. There was so little to choose be tween the two. though. that each was presented with an automo- bile emblematic of the swat cham pionship.
 Heilmann's victory this season gave him the title for the fourth timc and definitely established him as baseball's greatest odd year hitter. He has copped the honors in 1921-23-25 and '27.
 It also made the seventeenth time Detroit player has led the field in the last 21 campaigns. Cobb turned in an even dozen championships. while Heinie Ma hush finished in front in 1926, Speaker in 1916, Sisler in 1920 and 1922 and Ruth in 1924 were the only ones to break the -near perfect regimes of the Tiger out fielders.

IS YOUR APPETITE POOR7
You have often wondered why no
cook seems able to prepare food as
tasty as "Mother used to make. !
Somehow, the flavor does not seem
to be there. The most elaborate
course dinner seems tasteless to
YOU, and every dish is unpalatahle
and ill-flavored.
Why does the modern cook seem
unable to tickle your palate with ap-
petizing dishes when he has at his
command all Of the scientific equip
ment that Mother never even
dreamed Of? What was the magic
that Mother used which made you
smack your lips after every taste
Of the plain food which she pre-
pared?
You will get one of the greatest
surprises Of your life il you will go
back home and eat one Of the same
home-cooked meals which you en-
joyed few years ago! The food
will seem tasteless and unsavory,
and all the seasoning and condi-
ments with which you flavor it will
not render it palatable to you. At
first, you will ask yourself: HAS
Mother lost her ability to make
toothsome dishes?" As the light
Of reason Eliminates your mind,
you will discover that the fault does
not lie in the way that the food was
prepared, but in you, yourself. The
old hunger for simple food is gone;
years of bad eating habits have
changed your natural hunger to
such an extent that only queer
tasting food seems appetizing to
you. The taste buds of your mouth
have been so deadened by condi-
ments that simple food tastes flat
and insipid-even sickening and Of
fensive.
The truth is that you haven't
been really hungry for years. Your
meals have been bolted in a hurry
three Tins daily, and you have
eaten, with no real relish, SO much
more than your body could APP
propriate to its use. You have neg
lected to exercise sufficiently to use
up this excess nourishment and it

Washington, Nov. 18.-(P-Arm-
istice Day found numerous speak
ers dilating on the glories of war,
but few bothered to mention the
expense.
The merest glance at the federal
governments expenditures reveals
that war is far and away our most
costly luxury. Obviously. the great
est loss of the World War was to
be compiled from the casualty lists,
but it has been over for nine years
and the American people are still
paying out more than Is per cent of
all the money that comes in and
goes out Of the treasury to defray
the direct cost Of that war and Of
preparedness for the next.
The treasury collected more than
four billion dollars in the fiscal
year Of 1927 and paid out more than
three billions for war bills and the
national defense. The figures for
1923 will show no great divergence.
Receipts were $4,129, 1894. 900. The
surplus was $685., 100000 and that
was applied to debt reduction, MAX
ing total direct war and defense
outlay of $3,165. 100000.
The money was split up as fol-
lows:
Debt retirement ISL, 156, 600, 900
Interest on debt -. $4,000, 900
Army and navy -. 6SO,00O,000
Veterans Bureau -. 391 100000
Pensions ........... 22l,OOO, 900
Seventy million dollars should be
deducted from the army appropria-
ton in figuring the total war bur-
den, to approximate the amount
spent on rivers and harbors.
For various reasons, the burden
will not soon be lightened appre-
ciably. These reasons include the
likelihood that European nations
will eventually pay no more than
a fraction of their debts to us and
the fact tina. disarmament confer
ences have failed and that even now
large appropriations for new cruis-
ers are being demanded in Con-
gress. There may never be any
more huge SURPRISES like those of
1927 and 1928, which means that
while a few hundred millions less
in future years will be taken from
the taxpayers and applied to the
war debt, neither the war debt it.
self nor the enormous interest
charge can be radically reduced.

A Challenge
(philadalnhia pnhl;cT.o1

philadelphia Public-Ledger)
1t is truism that the giant industrial COM
binations being formed in Europe are designed
for purposes of competition with American in
dustry. The steel cartel uniting the heavy
industries of France, Germany and lesser con-
tinental countries, has been in operation for
some time. A chemical trust, in which Brit
ish, French and German combinations will par
tlclpate, is due to begin functioning next
month There will be others as time goes on.
This challenge to American industrial pri-
macy is natural one. Europe has been told
again and again that it must "get together
or perish. This advice was meant to be taken
politically. But the struggle for industrial
survival is scarcely secondary.
whether European organizers are going
about it in the correct manner must for some
time remain an unanswered question. They
may be taking too much for granted that the
secret OF American success lies wholly in mere
organization. That is only part Of it. At the
basis Of the whole structure is the fact that in
America, machinery and labor are geared for
greater productivity per unit than anywhere
else on earth. Europe, in practice, has never
dug down to this fundamental
As for the United States, there is nothing
actually to be feared in these European COM
binations. They will mean keener competition.
That was bound to come from European indus
try with it's back to the wall. But there is
nothing in the challenge that cannot be met
squarely and intelligently. And that is the
way i undoubtedly win b met.
