OVERWEIGHT

How worried Is the modern skate, who
is informed that overweight Is fatal
every time; that with his teeth he digs
his grave. that he must shun what he
may crave, that eating Is q crime. He
is stranger to all mirth; he's always
measuring his girth, and weighing on q
scale; and If he finds he's gained a
pound since last he made the wheels
60 round, he feels himself grow pale.
Some folks are preaching right alocg
that eating wholesome grub is wrong,
all men should live on hay; the fat men
listen to their rede, and dodge the grub
on which they'd feed, and weigh, and
weigh, and weigh. know thousand
weary wights who have forsworn the
yield; no more on luscious pies they
browse, but emulate the grass-fed cows
In yonder pasture field. No doubt this
modern scheme is wise, no doubt full
many q fellow dies from eating too
much cake; the doctors know just where
they stand, with science rules at their
command; their dictum is no fake.
But while with other fans I Craze,
I think about the good old days, when
diets were unknown; man ate the things
he liked the best, immured the pies
within his vest, and made no grevious
groan. When he confessed to painful
ills. the doctor gave him pea-green
pills. and did not say. my friend
you'll have to live on shielded slaw and
Swedish turnips eaten raw, or meet I'M
timely end" And while the old, old
ways were wrong, the people seemed to
live as long as people live today; no
steaming viands were denied, they took
the things the gods provide, and they
were blithe and gay.

TIE-UP OF NEW YORK
HARBOR Threatened
Five Thousand Marine Workers ia
Vote Sunday-Wage Increases
Demanded.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, October Capt. Will
liam A. Maher, general manager and
secretary of the Association of Marine
Workers, announced yesterday that
5000 marine workers in New York Har-
Dor would vote Sunday to strike next
week.
Captains, mates, pilots, engineers,
oilers, firemen, deck hands, cooks and
floatment working on $50 tugs and
lighters owned by independent fleet op-
orators are members of the association.
A strike by the organization would
mean that ocean liners, freighters and
coaStwiSe vessels could not be towed
from Quarantine or docked at New
York piers and that hundreds of scows,
including those handling the city's
garbage, would be tied up.
The workers contract with the EN-
ployers' Association of the New York
Towboat Exchange expired yesterday
and $25 month wage increase for all
hands will be demanded.

CROSS-WALK TAPE
IS BEING TESTED
Self VuIcanizing Street Mark
ers May Be Adopted by
Traffic Bureau.

-vulcanizing tape marking for
street crosswalkS, designed to cling
tightly to the surface of the street and
outwear the ordinary painted lines in
use at many intersections in the Capt.
tai, Is being tested out along with the
new metal discs and painted lines at
the Traffic Bureaus "crosSwalk labora-
tory" at Fourteenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
The new tape, when installed, resem-
bleS the painted white lines, can be laid
in a few minutes with practically no
attendant hindrance to traffic flow and,
1t is indicated at the Traffic Bureau,
may be adopted as standard crosswalk
marking If its wear at the test corner
comes up to expectations.
The tape has been supplied the Traf-
flc Bureau by a Rochester, N. Y, manu-
facturer for testing.
Estimated S1O6 Cheaper.
The Traffic Bureau points out that
the cost Of the metal discs with which
many crosswalks have been more or
less permanently marked is approxi-
mately $156 for an intersection against
about $50 for the tape markers. The
painted lines are much cheaper than
either of the more permanent markings,
but, 1t Is stated require much more at
tendance, replacement and, when the
final cost is computed, are not really
very much cheaper.
All three methods of marking are be-
ing tried out, however. at the intersec-
ton of Fourteenth street and Penn
sylvania avenue, under the constant
attention of the Traffic Bureau. The
tape also is being tested at one cross
walk at Nineteenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
The tape is made of cotton, the I'M
der side of which Is covered with a COM
pound designed to constantly vulcanize
itself to the street surface through the
friction Of the tires passing over it.
It's makers claim it is not affected by
water and will not creep out of po-
sition as have other forms of tape test
ed out by the Traffic Bureau.

TIME Athletics have dropped below
700 for the first time since they
started toward this years PEN
IL nant, and it becomes apparent
that the team Is not likely to
win the race with a margin much
wider than that Of the Yankees last
year.
This ought to dispel the ardor of those
who call the Athletics wonder team,
but it will not worry the players very
much. The team has only to break
even on the games it has yet to play
in order to finish with about the same
percentage as the Yankees had year
when they won the championship.
What may happen, of course. is that
the Yankees may creep up until~they
are within throwing distance of the
Athletics, just In the same way as the
Macks crept up to within three games
Of Miller Higgins crowd last year.
Fans Get Excited.
On August % last year Lefty Grove
pitched winning game against the
within four and a half games of the
Yankees. Then George Walberg won a
game and cut the margin to three. The
Philadelphia fans became excited and
bets were going around that Connie
Macks boys would cop the pennant. but
the battered Yanks managed to hold on.
The same pitcher, Lefty Grove,
dropped a game to Chicago the other
day and let daylight between his team
and the 700 ceiling. It did not mean
much because the teams below the
Athletics are going poorly.
If the Athletics lose II more games
they will have lost as many as did the
Yankees in 1928.
If the Athletics are to win 100 games
this season they must get II more
before the season ends. They have IS
to 60, so that makes about an even
split.
Yanks Fall Down.
Connie Mack's team has to play z
more games with the Yankees. If the
Yankees had had any luck on their
Western trip those z games might be
portentious. But the Yankees are not
capable Of playing good enough base
ball to cause much mischief. The old
war horses are wheeling. They fail to
rally as they once could.
The probability is that the Athletics
will have the championship won by
September Is. BY that time they
should have won 95 games. That viii
be a fairly safe mark.

MATS ARE ONLY TWO
GAMES BEHIND TIGES

DETROIT. August 24.-Beating the
Tigers yesterday for the second time in
two starts in the series, the Nationals
advanced to within two games of their
foe. The defeat left the Harrismen with
p, just as many losses as the Nationals
have suffered. but Detroit has won four
games more than Washington.
There was much brilliant fielding in
the fray, West and johnson making es-
pecially fine catches. In the eighth in
ming Sam rushed far to his right and
crashed against the scoreboard to drag
down Johnsons terrific drive. Johnson
kept hits from Goslin and Cronin In the
seventh by backing against the right
field bleachers for catches.
Cronin played a remarkable game at
shortstop fer the Nationals. He covered
q vast amount of territory to record
three putouts and six assists. Joe was
on the starting end of his clubs three
double plays He made particularly fine
stop of Johnsons grounder in the third,
touched second to force out Whitehill
and rifled the ball to Judge we'll ahead
Of the fleet Tiger runner.
Manager Harris revised his lineup
yesterday. sending johnson to right field
and Fothergin to left. He also shook
up the batting order, but 1t did not work
% well. Not against Jones, anyway.
