There NeUer Is a Trial

ID ATHER strangely, although the clientele of the
IN baseball industry is drawn largely from the
working classes, there never is any mass sympathy
for baseball employe who is being ground under the
heel of the capitalist bosses On the contrary, the
customers likely to be indignant at him for
refusing to gee with his team and thus jeopardize
the teams chances to win the pennant. There was
such a case in st. Louis recently in which Mr.. Dizzy
Dean, the pitcher, who is paid less in st. Louis than
he could command in the open market if there was
an open market, went on strike.
Mr.. Dean is one of the best pitchers of his time,
having won this year about one-third of all the
games which the st. Louis Cardinals have won. BY
his work and his interesting personality, which
creates publicity and attracts customers he has been
responsible for much of the income which the Card
nails have drawn. His pay however, is exactly what
his employer, Mr. Sam Breadon, willing to offer
him. If he had not wished to accept that figure he
would have had to lie idle or try some other business
The team was ordered to Detroit for an exhibition
game outside the regular line of duty and Mr.. Dean
decided that he would not bother to make the trip.
For this he was fined by Frank Frisch the team
manager who is famous throughout the baseball in
dustry for mis- frugaty with his own money.
There was no trial, of course. There never is any
trial in such The soulless corporation through

Just Anti-NeW Deal

MIR DEAN, on hearing his sentence. had tan

had no code to protect him in the baseball industry
AS he was losing pay rapidly while on strike, he de-
cided to call it off as stop-loss measure.

Camp Tourney. West Goshen, December 24,--About 150 Camp Tourney enrOllees are home for over Christmas. For those re- maining in camp the holiday will not be lacking in Xmas cheer. On the grounds, a beautiful Xmas tree decorated with tinsel and colored lights stands in good view by the entire camp. Inside the buildings, wreaths hang in windows, and bright symbols decorate the walls. And, Santa Claus has special in- vitation from the camp command CT, Capt, w. H.

Veterans Certificate
 Deadline, January 2
Applications for Adjusted Service Papers Will Not Be
 Received After That Time, Says General Hines

Washington, D. C.-Deadline for filing applications by World war veterans for adjusted service cer- tificates is January 2, 1885, Gen. eral Frank T. Hines, administra- tor of veterans affairs, advises all ex-service men in an ocial state ment released here.
 Blanks for making applications of adjusted service certificates CT adjusted service credit may be ob- tained from the war or navy de- partments, or from the veterans administrationfi General Hines said.
 All applications must be filed with the secretary of war if the last service of the veteran was

with the military forces, or with the secretary of the navy if the last service was with the naval forces. The application should be made personally by the veteran, if living, unless physical or men tai incapacity prevents. In the latter event a guardian or other propertly constituted representa- tive may file the application.
 In the event that the adjusted service credit of the veteran is $50 or less payment of adjusted service pay is made immediately. If the amount is more than $50, an adjusted service certificate is issued.
 In case the veteran has died before making application for benefits, the amount of his ad- justed service credit becomes pay able to his dependents in the fol- lowing order of preference: CD to the widow; CD if no widow en- title to payment, then to the chill dren; (3) if no widow or chill dren entitled to payment, then to the mother; (4) if no widow, chill dren or mother entitled to pay ment, then to the father.
 A widow who has remarried be- fore making and filing application for adjusted service credit loses entitlement thereto.

 TIpS~UINTER DRIVING

70. K" says the gas station a:- tendant, hanging up the nozzle and giving the cap on the gas tank a final twist. Look at your alcohol, Sir?"
 "Yeah, wish you would" says the customer, 'it may be low"
 Inspection proves it is low-two quarts are neededt. The customer looks suspiciously at the figures on the tester guage, but there is no use arguing with arithmetic. He has to have more alcohol, but
 Say" he burts out, i've put about gallon extra in there al- ready-where does that stuff go?" There's a straight question for the attendant to answer, but the an- swer isn't so simple as it may seem. "The alcohol evaporates. !" one says. Certainly it evaporates, but why? And how?.
 The answer differs, engineers point out, with different character istics of drivers and different con- ditions of the cars they drive. A cooling system that is partially clogged with rust and other foreign material will run hotter than a clean one. As the car runs hotter, there is increased evaporation, or loss of alcohol. Where heavy con- centrations of alcohol are needed to protect against low temperatures the driver of a car with clogged cooling system pays heavily in time anl money for his neglect.
 Fir instance, 50 percent con- centration of denatured alcohol gives an anti-freeze solution with a boiling point of 1S2 degrees Fahrenheit. This is 30 degrees be- low the boiling point of water.

 Philadelphia-(U name U. S. s. Philadelphia, which the 10,000-ton treaty cruiser being built at the navy yard is to be christened, probably has one of the most historical and picturesque backgrounds in the annals of the American navy.
 When the ship slides down the ways, it will be the fifth naval ves- sel to carry the name.

 The first ship to bear 1t was part of Benedict Arnold's fleet that un- successfully battled the British Oct II, 1776, on Lake Champlain in one of Americas first naval com bats. It was only a small three- gun gondola and went down an hour after the first days fighting ceased.
 In 1799 the second U. s. S. Phil a frigate of 1.240 tons, with 36 guns, was built here. This was the first of the five ships that really entered American naval his- tory.

phen Decatur burned in the har-l bor of Tripoli after Algerian pi- rates captured the ship when .t struck a reef in the Mediterranean sea.
 The third U. S. S. Philadelphia probably is the least known. Prior. to the Civil War it was used as "a combination passenger and cargo vessel on the Mississippi river. However, when the Civil war broke out, the government com mandeered the ship and placed it in the Union navy.
 Fourth Ship
 Nearly 20 years later the fourth ship to carry the name was built here at a cost of $1,350,000. This was the largest of the four, with q displacement of 4,324 tons and capable of 8 speed of 19.7 knots
 The ship saw service during as rebellion at Samoa the fagshir3 of the Atlantic squadron. Several years later the vessel became Renr Admiral Miller's flagship and was used from the American flag was raised over the HaRwaiian Islands. at Honolulu.

When such a solution is used in ii cooling system which is not clean ed regularly and is therefore full of rust and scale, the evaporatfun is excessive.
 When that solution boils at 1Ss. degrees at sea level--as the aItf. tude increases it boils at still iowefl temperatures-the resultant yapof. engineers find, contains S2 percent alcohol and only IS percent water. At that rate, a heavy solution vir-s tually needs to be replaced aI- most completely after nearly every warm day to insure adequate pro- lection. ~
 Another cause of excessive all cohol loss is local" boiling in the engine block. This occurs when tho. solution temperature is raised hX restricted flow, caused by dir clogging in some parts Of the ems zine blocks, until it boils and forms steam pockets. The steam forces its way to the top of the radiator tank, usually when the car is sud- denly slowed or stopped. The steam then propels the alcohol solution out through the overflow pipe onto the roadway.
 Modern hot water car heaters usually provide the most satisfac- tory volume of heat when a ''highs temperature'' thermostat is instail-. ed in the cooling system. Some: of these thermostats are set to open at 160 to 1855 degrees. and the top range is therefore above the boiling point of a 50 percent alco-s hol solution. Modern thermostats' installed to improve engine per- formance are also usually set to open at temperatures near the boiling point of heavy alcohol soIu-| tions. In such case, the cost of higher efficiency is a larger bill for alcohol since the higher cool< ing system temperature causes t to evaporate faster. Of course, if a non-evaporating aIiti-freexe is used this excess quantity of anti-ffeez will not be needed.
