Negative Economy il,
the Sparing of Paint

People who make an earnest effort
to economic often go to foolish
lengths. Quite aside from the fact
that they deprive themselves unneces-
sarily of things which there is no call
for their doing without, they often de-
feat their fundamental purpose. For
real economy is frequently practiced
by the intelligent spending of money
rather than by Withholding it.
OF high rank among the many items
Of negative economy stands the easy
practice of deferring improvements or
expenses of upkeep. The time to
scrap ANTICIPATED methods and obso-
lete machinery Is when the pinch of
necessity demands increased produc.
ton at lower costs. The time to main
tain the highest standard of upkeep
is when money Is scarce and replace
ment costs high.
Yet the average property owner will,
at such times, defer every possible
upkeep expense. One item which
often goes to the foot Of the list is
painting partly because many con-
slider paint a beautifier and luxury,
partly because a slight delay has no
apparent effect on a building.
Too often we forget that the thin
film of oil and pigment protects a
structure against weather and wear.

Historic Old Deed in
ArchiUes Of Vireinia

Discovery of the original copy Of
the birth certificate Of Michigan
among the musty archives Of Virginia
at Richmond, was made by Col. John
w. Williams, clerk Of the Virginia
house of delegates.
This document is the original deed
by which Virginia conveyed the North
west territory to the United States.
Later the Northwest territory was
carved to make Michigan, Ohio, In
diana and Illinois.
The deed, handwritten and yellow
with age, was discovered in the mid
die of an ancient volume of papers,
one of the many which Colonel Will
Iiams has been indexing for years. II
bears the signature of Thomas Jeffer-
son, Samuel Hardy, Arthur Lee and
James Monroe, delegates for the
commonwealth in the congress of the
United States"
Probably the most remarkable fea-
ture of the ancient document is Vir-
ginia's stipulation that the states to
be carved from the territory must be
"listinct Republican states" limited in
size to be not more than $50 or less
than 100 miles square-Detroit News.

Praise for County Fair

No institution in existence, consid-
ering the time and money expended,
affords more educational and recrea-
tional value than a well equipped,
intelligently directed and economical
ly managed county fair, said George
Hartman, secretary-treasurer Of the
State Association of Kansas Fairs.
Like the church and and he school, Mr..
Hartman asserted, the county fair
could not be expected to pay a money
dividend, but 1t brought big returns
"in a better community. more intel
ligent farmers and stock raisers,
more enthusiastic and energetic boys
and girls who must soon become the
men and women of the farm-the

ligent labors the entire world would

Moral Tone Affects

The morals of O community have a

said:

neighborhood drop and invariably
there is subsequent depreciation OF

House Fashion, Change

Have you ever thought Of fashion
in connection with home building
The fashions do change in buildings
just as in clothing, although not as
rapidly perhaps.
Fashions change in furniture, in
plumbing and lighting fixtures Of the
home; fashions change in automo-
biles; and in fact in almost every
thing that we buy.
With rare exception, every man
who builds a home should consider
the resale value Of the property.
There are many factors which may
make it necessary for him to sell.
With resale in mind, or with protec-
ton of investment in mind, 1t would
be unwise to build home that was
not In fashion.
The fashion in homes today Is
swiftly turning toward the permanent
type.

baseball which states that "in no
case shall more or less than nine
men on each side be allowed to
play at one time as regular players"
Although the magnates went on
record in Tuesday executive session
of the National League as favoring
the rule, several managers doubted
if it would help the game. Owen
Bush, manager of the Pirates,
voiced his disapproval of the Sug-
geSted change in no uncertain terms.
Such a rule would place the OPP

handicap" Bush said. I'm this day
of the lively ball, short fences and
abolition of all freak deliveries, the
pitcher has hard enough time as
it is without burdening him any
more by sticking an extra 300 hitter
in the lineup for him to face. The
rule might have been all right years
ago when he frequently had 2-1
and 80 games"
RidicuIed Previously
President Heydler suggested the
same plan several years ago, but
the magnateS would not hear it at
that time, some of them even ridi-
culing it.
The rule will be further discussed
at the joint meeting of the National

National League Leader
Gets Approval of Extra
Hitter for Pitcher
SOME DOUBT BENEFIT
Bush Crates Against Any
Such Radical Move.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Alteratior
in the baseball rules to provide fol
a team of ten men instead of the
regulation nine has been suggested
by President Heydler and approved
by the National League.
Under Heydler's plan the tenth
man would bat and run for the
pitcher, but would take no part in
the fielding. Managers would be re-
CURED to submit the name of the
tenth man to the umpire along with
the regulation lineup before each
game and the player named would
be available as a pinch-hitter for
the pitcher any or each time the
latter came to bat.
Outlines Reasons
In suggesting the change, Heydler
said he believed such rule would:
l. Prevent pitchers battles and
close games from being spoiled by
taking pitcher out for pinch
hitter.
2. Shorten the playing time.
3. Put more initiative in the game
and liven it up.
"Too many games nowadays are
being spoiled by taking out a pitch
er who is going good for a pinch
hitter in close game" Heydler
said.
pitchers are ulesS as batters and
they delay the game by not being
ready to bat promptly. Many times
the seventh and eighth men in the
batting order are walked to get to
the pitcher and the games are pro-
longed."
Drastic Suggestion
The suggested change is the most
drastic since the foul strike rule
was adopted and would revolution
ize one of the paramount rules of
