Ginkgo Last ofAneient Tree

THE ginkgo tree, sometimes known as thu
maidenhair tree because of the resemI
blance of its leaves to those of the maidenhaij
fern, is almost extinct as native tree, although
deep back in the forests OF some parts of China
it is still found growing in the native state.
Formerly the ginkgo Is believed to have beex|
distributed widely throughout the world. %
perhaps it would be more accurate to say that
its family. the gymnosperms, were found
throughout the world.
The ginkgo Is the last survivor Of this once
plentiful tree. Mainly It is found in parks a
a curiosity, while In Japan and China it is I'd
be found carefully nurtred IN the temple
Of a sacred tree.

MARITIME knitting was not always

therein lay its saving grace. Various

Following the Quebec and the Swedish
examples, it will be highly desirable to
define with the greatest care the sort
of place where liquor may be sold and
drunk on the premises. No one has de-
fined or can define the term saloon"
in the sense in which that term has
come to be used. What can and will
be abolished, however, is the saloon and
the speakeasy as they have existed and
now exist Their establishment and the
multiplication of selling agencies set up
and maintained for profit can and should
be absolutely prohibited The adrninis-
tration of State liquor traffic authority
should be carried on in such fashion as
will subject the traffic to both Federal
and State taxation for revenue purposes
Literally colossal additions to the public
revenues may readily be obtained and
the sums which. now flow so freely to
the bootleggers be diverted to the public
treasury.
When several adjoining States shall
have adopted or wish to adopt the same
or similar systems of State liquor traffic
control, it will then be of great value
to take advantage of the provision of
the Constitution of the United States,
article T.. section 10, paragraph 3, and
with the approval of the Congress set
up liquor traffic areas by compacts be-
tween groups of adjoining States which
are ready 10 have the same system Of

All men with female relatives should
be prepared to receive, identify and

slowed upon them three weeks from
today. There will be vests, mufhers,

knit almost anything, or at least to knit
something and call it almost anything.
The great problem which will confront
us on December Is is how to tell the
socks from the mufHers and the neck

OF the habits and peculiarities of knitted
products might not be amiss at this time.

Navy-and-headline men, the
international viewers with
alarm and the professional patriots are
receiving less attention than ever before.
With the great powers Of the world stil
haggling over their war debts and
demonstrating that the hand is quicker
than the I. o. u, peace never seemed
more desirable.
Numerous organizations, publications
and conferences for the promotion OF
international good will have been in
strumental in keeping this country In
the paths of peace. But it has remained
for the women of America to give mill
tarism its body blow. They have taken
up knitting again.
Nothing could bring back memories of
the strenuous days of 1917-18 more poig-
nantly than this gentle domestic pastime.
Ever since Penelope wove her web, wom-
en- have piled the needle while their
men brandished the sword. Knitting
amazons were the power behind the gull
lotine in the French Revolution, and the
needle of Betsy Ross played an impor-
tant part in the Caesarean birth of our
own Republic. If the truth were known,
Delilah probably shipped off Samson's
locks with pair of embroidery scissors.
And now the click of the needle is
heard in the land once more-remind-
ing us of certain minor horrors of the
Great War. Just why knitting should
enjoy such a vigorous revival at this
time no one seems to know. But it is
excellent peace propaganda. The res
tive veteran, chaing under the monotony
of his work-a-day, or even his work-half-
q day, existence will think twice before
he lets himself IN for another sock and
sweater siege like the one he went
through Is years ago; the mere recol-
lection of the olive-drab atrocities thrust
upon him by his sisters and his cousins
and his auntS on the eve of his enlist
ment is enough to make a thorough
going pacifist of him.
But whether he thinks twice or not
at all, he Is in for another sock-and-
sweater siege, woolly-nilly. Knitting is
fashionable this Winter, and the voice
Of fashion is as strong as the call of
patriotic duty. During the war the
offerings of the amateur knitters were
accepted uncomplainingly and even
gratefully. Like sugarless coffee, wheat
less bread and endless canned salmon,
their ambiguous creations were re-
garded as emergency measures con-

son closed last night at Wilson
Field, the final game being played
by the Southern California Tele-
phone nine and the Golden. State
Creamery. The Telephone company
came out ahead 6 to in an excel
lent contest.
Baker was the individual star of
the game, his bat accounting for
two singles and two home runs. The
last run broke a to tie in the
ninth frame.
One of the best clubs to play
at Wilson Field this season, the
Jacobsen Sign team, San Diego
champions and victors in the last
% straight games, makes its valley
debut tonight
Interest in the game is at high
pitch as valley fans wonder if the
All Stars will be the twenty third
victim of the coast team. Tt is con-
ceded such will not be the case
without struggle as the locals are
dangerous until the last man is out.
Neil Carlson, former Maggie
pitcher, hurls for San Diego, and
with the support the club gives
him, fans know what to expect.
Carlson pitched a no hit-no run
game and struck out "a consecutive

night. This would indicate he is
better than ever.
The lineup for the All Stars is
as follows: Hurst, p; Thomas, C;

OLYMPIC STARS
TO COMPETE AT
CHICAGO TONIGHT
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. 18. Eleven
Olympic champions, 10 worlds rec
ord holders and outstanding ath-
letes from IL foreign countries and
the United States assembled here
today for a Olympic track and
field meet at Soldiers field tonight.
A crowd of nearly $4,000 is ex-
pected to see tonight's program Of
18 mems and women's events in
the big Lake. Front stadium.
Eddie Tolan, Detroit Negro who
won the 100 and 200-meter Olympic
titles refused an invitation last
night to run a sprint race against
Ralph Metcalfe, his Marquette riv-
al, but will run one leg of the 400
meter relay.
A. A. U. officials had difficulty
getting Tolans entry as he is said
( to resent the attitude of the Chica-
go Negro press in commenting on
his races with Metcalfe. Unoffi-
cially it is understood that Tolan
has vowed never again to meet his
younger rival Metcalfe and is will
ing to stand on his Olympic laurels.
The U. S. relay team will be an
all-Negro quartet composed of Jim
Johnson, Illinois State Normal,
Tolan, John Brooks, U. of Chicago,
and Metcalfe, who will run in that
order. The other nations entered
are Germany, Italy and Greece.
DR.. Patrick O'Callaghan, Ireland's
hammer-throw champion, may be
a last-minute entry and if he COM
pletes more than half of the Olym-
pic track and field champions will
be in action.
Lehtinen-Hill Duel
One of the high spots of tonight's
meet will be another duel between
Lauri Lehtinen, Finland, and Ralph
Hill, lanky Oregon boy, in the 5000
meters. Lehtinen beat Hill by inch
es in the Olympic 5,000-meters but
twice swerved in front of Hill as
the American attempted to pass
the Finn in the home stretch. The
finish was SO close that both men
were officially timed in ID minutes
80 seconds.
Luigi Beccali, little Italian who
came within two-tenths of Sec
ond of the worlds record in win
ming the Olympic 1,500-meter race
will attempt to surpass the worlc
mark of 3:51 in tonight's race. He
will have Glenn Cunningham, Kan
sas, Elmo Purje, Finland, DR.. Pau

League Scores

Portland had. a slightly firmer
hold on leadership of the Pacific
Coast league today as a result of
16 to l victory over Seattle last
night.
Pitcher Shores gained outstand-
ing honors in the lopsided win,
holding the Indians to two hits and
tanning Is men. His team mates
went on batting spree at the eX-
pense of Nelson and Freitas, get
ting II hits in all. Fifteen of their
runs were scored in the fourth,
fifth and sixth innings.
Los Angeles, San Francisco and
Hollywood were in a virtual tie
for second place following their
games, with Hollywood clinging to
scant edge in the percentage
figures.
Ed Baecht pitched the Angels to
a 8 to 2 victory over the Mission
Reds holding the Mission batters
to two hits. He won his own game
by singing in the ninth to score
Stainback from third.
Curt Davis continued to be the
sensation of the Coast league
pitchers, turning in another vic
tory over the Hollywood stars foI
San Francisco, IL to 0. Davis al
lowed five hits while his mates
touched Yde and Kenney for II
hits and as may runs.
Young Clarence Fieber of Oak
land ran into storm of trouble
in the eighth inning against the
Sacramento Senators and dropped
his game, 9 to 0. The Oaks scored
six times in that inning. Vinci,
Sacramento pitcher, allowed but
