Army Wallops Sox In
Snappy Innings, Six
To Eight; More Soon

Camp Jones took the classic of the
season from the White SoX Sunday
afternoon at the army diamond with
tally of 8 to 6. The game was just
as fast and as tight as had been pre-
dicted. Lots of people watched it and
liked it all the way through.
The Sox went in with a handicap
because Chico, the handy man with
the pill who was TO have decorated
the mound for them wired at the last
minute that he couldn't be here. AL
fonso and Palada did some fancy work,
however, for the Sox, only Alfonso
tired early. Palada showed some first
class stuff and reused the fans
Wizard Allen, the army teams sec
ond baseman, featured the game with
a one hand catch that he had to
travel after. Brown did some lively
stepping around the bases and filched
a bunch of runs. The game created
more interest and enthusiasm among
the fans than anything this year and
next Sunday something more ON the
same order with educated horse hide
artists cast for all principal roles will
be staged at the Tenth street diamond.
The straight stuff for the coming
event will be passed out on this page
later in the week.

my people would go wild if did, .
she declared.
She further issued blanket state
ment denying all asserted troubles
within the church and between her
self and mother, which brought her
back abruptly from an Illinois soul
saving campaign.
"All differences, if any existed, have
been settled, and the machinery of
the organization is functioning
smoothly, glory be to God," said she.
Moreover, she insiSteds that the de-
parture of her mother, Mrs. Kennedy,
in an automobile for the north early
this morning, was not an indication
that all was over between them, but
was only matter of routine" bus
mess.
Mother will speak at Taft and
come back tomorrow" was the ex-
PLANTATION accorded by the evange-
list.
Upon the return, it was said today,
mother and daughter will again live
together in newly rented home,
upon the same terms Of amity and
understanding as in the past.
mo, mother has not resigned as
vice president of the temple and I
don't think she will,' added Mrs. Nc
Pherson.
Thus Aimee Senp1e Mcpherson to-
day poured oil on the tempest tossed
waters of Angelus Tenple-waterS, at
least, which, according to statements
from all parties concerned the past
week, were not only tossing, but tip
ping the good ship skippered by Sister
Mcpherson at distressful angle,
causing feelings of extreme dispute
tude in all the passengers.
For instance:
Mrs. Mcpherson was quoted the last
few days as saying that. either she
or her mother would have to leave
the church and that she would leave
her house if Mrs. Kennedy didn't
pack up and go. Further, in letter
made public, the evangelist is cred
tied with saying that she was soul
sick of the constant troubles at the
temple and that she went east to get
into fresher atmosphere.
Mrs. Kennedy has stated that her
daughter ousted her from all future
connections with the temple and di-
rected her to take long trip to-
Alaska or the Holyland. The mother
declared that all trouble in the tenn
pie was due to the revolt of q small
self-seeking minority and wired her
daughter to come home at once.
A committee Of church officials,
headed by Rev. Jaynes OF Riverside,
Mrs. McPherson's personal represen-
tative, accused Mrs. Kennedy of mis-
V2nt, took the reins of man
agement away from her and told
Mrs. Mcpherson that her place was
in Los Angeles with her flock.

the Yanks rallied in the first of the

HUMAN NATURE PERCHED
 ALOIT

Down at Middletown, sorely beset
 by the swirling waters from the Con-
 necticut, human nature in one of it's moot peculiar settings has been evil dent. People have been calmly watching the flood round about them 1 from their second story windows. i Down below them, in the first story, was water; boats swarmed about
 their homes But did they accept any ! of the numerous invitations to leave i the premises in any Of the boats which called at the family ports?
 Not at all. They preferred to stay f just where they are" waiting and watching, keeping vigil all night, liv- | ing on such food as they were able | to carry aloft before the waters com-
 pletely inundated the culinary de- partment, and hoping that the waters would "go down" before the supply gave out.
 This is a bit of human nature, of human psychology, that is evident | whenever flood waters roll around the family fireside. The same story was told when the Mississippi flood was at it's heighth-how embattled homesteaders. driven to the upper floors, repeatedly preferred to court death there than accept a rescue By boat. In many instances such home loving folks had to be taken from their perches by force.
 In Middletown there were families thus marooned on the upper floors, usually with a bevy Of youngsters of tender age included in the family circle. They eambled with the future, they hoped that the waters would come no higher, that the house would hold to it's foundations. And thus they preferred to pass the night, defying danger if only they could remain ensconced in their homes.
 Man does not desire to leave hls home in an emergency unless he is forced to do so. As the slowly rising waters of a flood appear the instinct is to rise with the flood instead of fleeing from it; at least, it is so in many cases The Middletown families who lived in upper stories as long as this was tenable illustrate the tenacious manner in which humans will cling to that which they call home. It is the most laudable of instincts. yet might lead to useless loss of life if hope that the waters will lower is frustrated by an un- kind nature.

thoughts. Perhaps some Of them wonder why 1t doesn't start iu the Common Council--a point that other citizens not immersed in political considerations may well raise.
 Now the suggestion has been made to reduce the salaries of the political crew in the city hall This also may be done in the interest of efficiency, economy and service, but in reality it is merely cold-blooded attempt to take advantage or the workers hired by the party. If there can be any good to come out Of such a pro- ceeding it will be that fewer people in the future will listen to the blandishments ot the party and fail to fall for the political jobs within the power Of the party to dis tribute.
 The scheme may not make a great deal of difference to the city hall workers either. Most of them, per haps will spend less money if they have lees; perhaps they will practice some of that economy the Common Council talks about and the only genuine sufferers will be those who now get their moncy-the business community. As a method Of reducing buying power the scheme is the nc plus ultra Of refined efficiency. The best way to injure business, now or at any other time, is to reduce the buying power of consumers, and then wall about "sales-resistance.
 That, however, is delving into economics, which is not understood in political circles as well as economy.
 Economy, to be worth it's salt, should include economy all along the line. Merely fussins with city hall political ob-holdcrs is only part of the picture.
