sure to regret It when Alester ap.
peared. Moreover. he reminded
himself. she never had said, or
even limited, that she loved him. His
wish had been father to that
thought.

his arms was no assurance that
she'd willingly yield to his kisses.

ness that surprised her.
Don stepped out of the cab and
turned to assist her. Jerry looked
at him with startled eyes. His face,
now made plainly visible by the
street lamp. was grim and set.
A wave Of modification swept
over Jerry as she made her way
out of the cab. It was with shame
that she thought Of her yearning to
have him kiss her. Why. he des.
pissed her!
They walked up the steps to the
stoop of the old brownstone house
In silence. Jerry quietly flshed for
her key and inserted It In the lock
herself. She pushed the door open
and with the silence still unbroken
ran blindly up the stairs to her
room.

Major league baseball is convinced the ma
ton is producing less big league material than
before the war and that organized baseball is
losing some of it's fans to other sports. The
heads of the clubs are fretting more than usu-
al this spring, which leads the laity to believe
there is some justification for the alarm and
defensive measures CT the clubs
Alva Bradley, president of the Cleveland
Indians, is of the opinion that major league
clubs should acquire one or more minor league
clubs in which to develop big league players.
This plan he deems preferable to farming their
new recruits out to minor clubs owned by
others.
The boss of the Indians is looking still far
Their into the future. For several years he has
jealously eyed the thousands of boys who have
quit sand-lot baseball for the golf links. They
are attracted by the caddy's fees, but soon be-
come more interested in the achievements Of
Bobby Jones than of Babe Ruth. Golf has
robbed baseball of much potential player ma
terial.
What is President Bradley going to do
about it? He will furnish every golf club in
the environs Of Cleveland with baseball equip
ment for use by the caddies while they are not
Juggling bags and hunting balls. Even though
few major league players spring from tho
caddy players their interest will be turned
back to baseball and kept there until they
reach the fan age.

The Grand Old Woman of Kansas
Chicago Tribune)

William Allen White of Emporia, Kas., finds
his name on the black list of the Daughters of
the American Revolution. disclosure of the
daughters likes and dslikes was found in a
book of them in Boston and Mr.. White was
classified along with the latter. Mr.. White
said he got in the black list two years ago and
that it was all right with him. He said the
ID. A. R. also backlisted the Y. NJ. C. A., the
Y. w. c. A., the National Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs, the League of Women Voters, etc.
The daughters, said Mr.. White, were al!
right. Their only trouble was that they were
too much influenced by the retired army Of
ficers who protected rheumatic joints in red
flannels and got away from the boredom Of
rich wives by sitting in the club windows
watching the decadence of the times.
"They hypnotic the nice old girls of the D.
A. r" he said.
Mr.. White was nice old lady when he was
Ia bright young man. In his maturity he is
the chief duenna of the Kansas matriarchy,
where the hemstitchng championship is a
masculine honor.
1t is, in Kansas conception, a sisterhood of
states and Mr.. White waves the distaff at
the country. It was he who said that Kansas
would teach New York how to behave and if
the electorate there wanted its beer Kansas
would show the rowdies their place, put them
there and keep them there.
It has been agreeable to people generally that
Mr.. White and Kansas should be what they want
to be. 1t may have it's sovereignty in the wife's
name. It's rich plains are monotonous. It is
buried in snow in the winter and baked in the
heat in the summer. Its electorate is composed
Of nice. amiable people too listless to be dis
orderly. When the humdrum needs a bit of
lifting nut sundae is an opiate and a Kansan
drugged by it is carried over another day. One
Chicago pineapple exploded anywhere in En-
poria might be an inspiration, but only the
grasshoppers are active and life is keyed to the
tone of the black cricket in the fence corner
This may be a law of nature. It has produced
the matriarchy of nice old girls ruling vacant
eyed male electorate reconcied to it's lot. Oc-
casionally Mr.. White has a burst Of energy
and desires to extend the Kansas social system
over the rest of the country. In other regions
this brings protest.
Mr.. White is grand old lady, but he ought to
be satisfied with the apotheosis of morals in his
own state and be content that it should be
exemplary and not oppressive. And he should
not call old girls old girls. One Of them might
not be and SO sock him.

IN DIAGNOSIS

IMPROVEMENTS IN DIAGNOSIS
While the science of administer.
ing medicine to the sick body has
not improved very much within the
last thousand years, still, the science
of diagnosis has reached very high
stage Of development in the last
century. Some physicians are still
willing to diagnose, or attempt to
do so, by simply looking at the pa
tents tongue or by taking his pulse,
but the doctor who makes such snap
diagnosis is rapidly losing his prac-
tice to the ones who are more con-
scientious and scientific, and who
keep abreast Of the times.
During the last twenty years the
X ray method Of dignosis has i'm
proved to such an extent as to make
the diagnosis of such diseases as
tuberculosis, stomach ulcer, gall
stones, kidney stones and many other
diseases quite accurate, and the
physician can be reasonably sure of
his diagnosis of these diseases. Of
course, the X-ray by itself is not an
infallible method of diagnosis, but
should be supplemented by all Of
the other laboratory methods known
to medical science.
The blood count test is also one
of the modern developments Of
diagnostic science, which is Of great
value to physicians in determining
the quality and quantity of the
blood. This test will determine the
color Of the hemoglobin of the blood,
and an accurate count can also be
made Of the number of red blood
cells which carry nourishment to the
tissues, and also of the white COR
puscles which act as policemen in
the body. A scientific physician can
read the reports Of the blood test
and arrive at definite understand
ing of their significance.
The examination of the urine is Of
great value to the diagnostician,
who can by this means discover
many diseases in their incipient
stage, and by this be able to teach
the patient how to avoid further
trouble.
The sphygmomanometer, a blood
pressure instrument, will show the
tension of the arterial walls. This
point is of inestimable value in
many diseases.
The acknowledged is an in
strument which will draw a dia-
gram Of the heart action and show
the relative strength Of the differ
ent heart valves.
Metabolism can now be measured
by delicate instrument which will
show how far metabolism has be-
come perverted. Readings Of this
instrument will indic-te when a
patient has returned to normal

Hard Roads Save Gas
little Falls, Mimi, TRANSCRIPT

little Falls, Mimi, Transcript
Here is concrete" evidence of the saving
to car owners with hard-surfaced roads as COM
pared with the dirt and graveled highways.
On Friday of last week local man drove to
Sank Center over highway %, a distance of 43
miles. The road was only slightly rough, but
very heavy. Returning he drove via st. Cloud,
an all paved road from Sank Center to Little
Falls, a distance of 81 1-2 miles as recorded by
his speedometer. He kept an exact measure
ment of the gas used and consumed over a
gallon more on the outward trip of 43 miles
than he did on the return journey home. In
short, he travelled nearly twice the distance with
less gas on paved road than on the dirt road.
While this condition may not be true in mid
summer with all roads properly dragged, it
will hold good about seven months out of the
year in Minnesota.
