1t was also brought out on direct
examination that Rae had had tele-
phone communication with Sperry, in
which Sperry stated that he was in
trouble and asked Roe to come to
Douglas and help him out, according
to testimony,
Rae identified several record books
and documents. On cross s-eXamination
by Attorney w G. Gilmore, for the de-
Tense, he gave a brief history of his
employment with the Phelps Dodge
corporation and his connection with
the Commerce Realty and Trust COM
pany. The balance of his testimony
was confined almost entirely to ex-
plantations of the accounting system
of the company
w NJ. Dougherity was the next wit
ness called to the stand. He said that
he had had ia or Is years experience
in auditing work and that he audited
the books of the trust company. He
said that he started to work on the
audit on April 12, 1926. His testimony
was description of how he traced
accounts through the various books
of the corporation.
At the evening recess, Dougherity
was still on the stand for cross-ex-
animation. After completion of Rae's
testimonyj counsel for the defense
moved to have the witnesses sworn and
the rule invoked. After some discus
sion, the court called the witnesses.
They were admonished and excluded
from the court room. The case will be
continued this morning.

Pooling Babe Ruth

FOOIing Babe Ruth
Take the case of Babe Ruth for
en illustration of the angle I am
stressing.
1t is a well known fact that Rutli
does not relish slow ball pitching,
kept low and outside. In the last
world series Billy Sherdel used that
kind of stuff with great success
against the "Bambino."
However, it is incorrect to say
that Ruth is actually weak against
slow ball pitching. Ruth's forte is
long drives. Long drives call for &
full swing. Timing slow ball when
using a full swing is difficult
task.
When Ruth, realizing that he is
going to get plenty of slow bali
pitching, changes his stance and style
by choking up on the bat and get
ting his feet closer together, he in
yariably upsets the opposition by
dropping the ball into short left
field, where no one seems able to
reach it.
Ruth fails against the slow bali
pitching only when he continues to
use a full swing, q method not
adapted to such a delivery.

none of them frankly admitted they
were weak on certain styles of pitch
ing, all acknowledged they had de.

For instance, some batter, while
not necessarily weak on curve pitch

swinging at speed. The natural de-

In his examination for an interstate pilots
license, Clarence Chamberin, Atlantic flyer,
came within five points Of failing. Was it not
this same young man who was rejected for the
army air service when the doctors found him
disabled by flat feet?
Let the good work of scientific testing go on.
And since unfortunately mankind got by with
its slip-shod performance for several centuries
before the tests were invented, let their appli-
cation now be made retroactive.
1t is more than probable that Columbus walk
ing from court to court as he did, and standing
in the ante-chambers had an aggravated case
of fallen arches. This disqualified him for
navigating the Santa Maria. Capt. Cook was
troubled with cramps and shooting pains which
the Sandwich island natives reduced by mas
sage, but with these ailments he clearly was
incapable Of discovering the islands in the first
place. Admiral Peary, when he looked upon
the North Pole, had lost two or three toes and
was almost if not entirely bald.
Before we advance farther into the future,
let us correct the grave errors of the past.
Let us put men through series of standardized
tests and send them forth, duly qualified, to
discover America, the South Seas, and the
North Pole again. It is horrible to think
that up to this time they may never have been
discovered at all.

Attractive Citizens
(St. Paul Dispatchl

When he introduced Colonel Lindbergh to the
House as "Americas most attractive citizen"
Speaker Longworth used a happy phrase with
out danger of contradiction. America has
many attractive citizens, but the vast majority
never rise to fame. Only few are fortunate
enough to obtain that worldwide recognition
which came to Colonel Lindbergh from his dar-
ing and spectacular flight across the Atlantic
Comparable with him are three other young
and attractive citizens now in the public eye,
who might well be nominated to the Hall of
Attractive Citizenship: Miss Helen Wills,
woman's amateur tennis champion of the
world Gene TunneX, worlds heavyweight
champion, and Bobby Jones, admittedly the
greatest amateur golfer Of the day. All four
Of these young Americans are attractive not
only because of their achievements and be-.
cause they are for the time being in the lime
light but also because Of their personalities
and characters.
Curiously enough they all fall within the ill
defined boundaries of that younger generation
which certain members of an elder generation
are in the habit of sending to the bowwows.
Yet what generation in our history has pro-
duced finer quartet of clean-living cham
pions? And remember, they are in the public
eye. Anyone who ges out into the highways

"ASK DOCTORS TO FIGHT
M0REs
.%.2H-MUN/

Consultations held by doctors
over a patient are not often fruitful
of any good results, and this is
principally because the first doctor
on the case invariably calls in other
doctors whose training has been
practically the same as his, possibly
even graduate of the same school.
While the osteopaths, chiropractors,
homeopaths and eclectics are gen.
orally willing to consult with doc
tors of other schools, this is not
true with members Of the allopathic
medical association, as their men,
bers are not permitted to consult
with doctors who belong to other
medical societies.
The man who is sick is learning
to know that his best safeguard
against biased opinion is to call in,
separately, doctors who advocate
different systems Of treatment, get
the individual diagnosis from each
one of them, and then make his own
choice of what seems to him a SEN
sible method.
1t is a pity that doctors cannot
compare their different viewpoints
without getting angry because the
others do not judge the case the
same!
Judge Stephens, of Salt Lake
City, who is an authority on medical
legal problems, recently pointedly
said in a lecture:
ut is fine for doctors to be
properly aloof and impersonal but
medical progress would be greatly
aided by little of the quarrelsome
critically Of the courtroom. Of
course, doctors cannot hold court
over each case on the operating
table; they could, however, safe
guard the interest of the patient in
obscure cases by approaching each
other as opposing counsel.
Lawyers are forced to give their
very best because they know keen
opponent is watching their every
mental process. If doctors were
equally critical Of each others work
the science as a whole would be
greatly stimulated.
"By this I do not mean that doc
tors should be carping or captious.
Their critically should always be
directed toward the process and
never against the individual, being
like the attitude of lawyers who
argue he .edly before the bench but
walk away arm in arm. This kind
of controvers. will find facts and
expose mistakes"

druggists Circular)

There is no soda in soda water, as we know
it, and many persons have wondered where it
got it's name. Birdsley L. Maltbie gives us
the clue. The soda water of former days was
solution Of ordinary cooking soda. The syrups
contained an acid, and the combination gener-
ated the carbonic gas that furnished the fizz.
Ice cream soda was not dispensed, simply
white of eggs or solution Of soap bark being
added to the sirups to make the foam. The
principal flavors were vanilla and lemon; straw
berry, pineapple, and banana were artificial
flavors, though the fruit juices soon came into
use.
We had a real "soda' fountain in the store
in Missouri. The fountain was a round affair,
similar to or about the size of the coffee urns
we now use The fountain held the ice. We
put sodium bicarbonate in water and forced
this through the fountain with an air pump.
The sirups all contained citric or tartaric acid,
so that when the water was drawn into them it
effervesced, and we had genuine soda water.
Writing Of soda water reminds me that in

early days, we generated our own gas, as did all
the older druggists. The generator was in the
cellar and consisted of q metal container for
the marble dust and water, above which was
q lead lined container for sulphuric acid, which
was gradually let into the mixture Of marble
dust and water and the gas generated. The
gas was then run into the fountains Of water
and shaken in cradle until the water was
fully charged.

New York, Dec. Discriminating

Those activities which d. not CEN

or the literary gathering places, are
no different from those to be found
in any little community.

functions in Manhattan. you will
find that the neighborhood church

Of Bronx store are putting on q
homemade play; that the Epworth
League is having a Wednesday

are under way in any number Of
places; that the Lions Club is hav-

fur concern are having a lunch

parents of a given district are
