So Pepper and Daffy Rassled.

THE Cardinals did not get into the
series because their vaunted Gas
House Gang spirit backfired in their
faces. They were a happy-go lucky,
devil-may- lot AL st. Louis rev.
eled in thfr antics. They hustled
and they fought and they were
rip-roaring, two-flsted gang that felt
as If it could whip the world.
Maybe they couldn't find enough
opponents on the ball field to fight
or maybe they were so filled with
energy that they were inveigled in
to horsing around among themselves.
At any any rate Pepper Martin felt
in a Man Mountain Dean mood one
bright afternoon early this season
and found that Daffy Dean, younger
Of the Deans, was in similar mood.
The first thing that frankie
Frisch and the Gas House
Gang knew they were locked in
a wrestling match and when IL
was over Pepper had Dragged
about putting . Jim London
wristlOck on Daffy and the
Dean kid was saying that It
still hurt. Then Daffy tried to
pitch and discovered that he
was reminded Of Peppers
wristlock. He tried again -.
and again -. and finally he
said his arm was sore. Then
Daffy went home for the rest
of the year and approximately

ing staff was gone.
Dizzy tried nightly to make up for
Daffy's absence but the Great One
after all, was only human. He be-
gan to pitch in three Of four of the
Cards games, but that didn't help
much. At least it didn't help enough.
The Cards, shut-out yesterday by Lon
Warneke, definitely are washed up.
without Daily they lacked the pitch
ing and when Daffy went away there
was another big backfire.

n YEW YORK, September 19.-As
nj far as base ball is concerned,
" this year should go down as
the year of the big backflres.
Rarely in the past have the eccentric
tiles Of the industry acentuated as
much as during this waning season,
when Gotham gained its first YAM
kee-Giant series in 13 years and its
fourth of all time.
The Giants will reach the classic
because they plugged from start to
finish, especially at the finish. All
the experts said the Giants were
front-runners and that they would
fold in the stretch, as in 1884 and
1895. Their prophesies backfired
when the Terrymen broke from the
barrier like a milk-wagon horse and
started running like Gallant Fox in
the stretch.
The Yankees were helped in
to the series because the very
blessing which graced their
every effort in 1884 and 1885
was cOnspicuously absent this
year. That blessing was the
lack of injury to any of the
Tigers, and after the amazing
luck held for two years it began
to look as IL the BengaIs were
destined to have a monopoly on
Lady Luck. Many of the experts
said as much, predicted a third
straight pennant, and even be-
gan to compare the Tigers with
the great teams of history.
Then, out of a clear sky, Hank
Greenberg's wrist was broken ut the
start Of the season, Mickey Cochrane
began to see spot in front Of his eyes,

The farm real estate market in
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia is look
ing up, according to a statement
made by Charles S. Jackson, presi-
dent of the Federal Land Bank. He
based it upon the increased sales by
the bank of properties which it has
had to take over during the last half
dozen years or so. The record shows
an increase of 131 per cent during
the second quarter of 1886 compar-
ed to a like period in 1885. During
the first half of this year the num-
Der of sales made almost doubled
those of the previous six months, thu
total being 365 properties or sheriffs
certificates representing farms. Down
payments are also larger than a year
ago.
Mr.. Jackson attributed this large
increase in sales not to a greater
activity on the part of the land bank
to dispose of properties but to higher
prices for agricultural commodities
and a greater confidence on the part
of purchasers in the farming bust
ness.

Under the plan, a person may have
up to five years in which to pay, for
improvements to property, such as
repairs and alterations, extensions,
erecting garages, and many other ad-
ditions to make the home more
livable. The Government does not
lend a penny. 1t insures loans made
by private financial institutions

POLITICS TAKEN OUT OF BUSI-
NESS

A large insurance company of tho
United States has taken politics out
of it's business, as indicated by the
following excerpt from a letter, adj
dressed to each of it's employees;
There is a side to this matter of
politics, however, that we are at lib
erty to write about. The indications
at present are that the campaign may
be one of much bitterness, a cam
paign of elimination and recrimina-
ton. The views of the two dominant
parties are far apart on some OF the
most important issues. Discussions
of these differences may extend down
to the voters in an unpleasant way,
and just here our political advice
comes in. Don't indulge in such dis
cussions. They do you no good, you
change no ones mind, and such dis
cussions actually harm the business.
Ours is the insurance business, and
the proper conduct of it in every de-
partment, or in any position, de-
mands all that we can give it and re-
quires the making of all the friends
we can. Political discussions are
enemy-making and are harmful. So
let's reach our own conclusions, vote
according to the conclusions We
reach, and give the other fellow the
right to do the same"

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
ACTS AGAINST LOTTERIES

AS strange as it may seem, hardly
a week passes that one or more candy
concerns are not charged with unfair
competition through the use of lot
terry scheme in the sale of their
candies to the public.
The complaints usually allege that
sales are made by means OF a punch
board. The purchasers who punch
winning numbers from the board are
said to receive box of candy, while
those selecting other numbers receive
nothing for their money. Sometimes
the punchboard lottery scheme is so
arranged that every number wins
something, but some numbers win
comparatively large amounts of
candy.
The Federal Trade Commission is
sued complaint on August 10,
1886, against the Queen Anne Candy
Co., of Seattle, Wash, in which it
was alleged that the company exer-
cised unfair competition through
the use of lottery scheme in the
sale of candy to the public" Sep
TENDER IL, was the final date on
which this company might show
cause why an order to cease and de-
sist from the practice complained of
should not be issued.
That schemes of this nature are
subtle means of intoxicating the habit
Of gambling, particularly among
youths, is conceded by all disinterest-
ed persons. The use of the lottery
in any form is contrary to the laws
of most of the states, and the re-
markable thing is that little is heard
of the use of chances in selling good.
antil the Federal Trade Commission
is called upon to issue complaint
against some concern violating a fed
eral statute.
Estimates show that commercializ-
ed gambling took from honest bust
ness more than $4,000, 100000 dur
ing 1885, to say nothing of it's effects
on the morality and stamina of the
people. Gambling leads in many in
stances to crime. How much of the
Nations crime bill for 1885, esti-
mated at more than $4,000, 900, 900,
can be traced back to early indulg-
ences in schemes of chance?
Gambling, rackets. crime, and I'M
fair business practices, from picayune
punchboard schemes to those con-
demned by the Securities and Ex-
change Commissioned sponsored
by the same mother, insensate greed
are among the chief factors which
tend to break down modern civiliza-
lion and to destroy the finest things
of life.

GERMAN CHEMIST TELLS HAIR
WARD GUESTS WOOD is
GOOD FOR FOOD

The man who fed his donkey saw
dust and saved money only during
the first week can try the experiment
again with better hope Of success.
Dr. Friedrich Bergius, Heidelberg
chemist, explained to Harvard ter
centenary guests Friday how food
can be synthesized from wood.
In fact, there is enough food in
the waste scraps of few forest acres
to feed inexpensively the entire Ger
man army, he implied. Those who
heard his address considered this to
be a startling disclosure of the ex-
tent to which at least one nation has
gone in the race toward national
self-sufficiency.
During the last decades the world
has become more than ever occupied
with the problems of creating raw
materials essential for the life of the
nations within their own frontiers, :"
he said.
1.-The inventive genius of chemical
and mechanical engineers is being
applied more and more toward re-
ducing the economic dependence of
the individual country and to pro-
duce as far as possible at home a
large part of the products which up
to now had to be imported"
Synthetic sawdust food will cost
very little" said DIR. Bergius, "for
the raw materials are now waste
products. After the cost of the
initial plant installation, the upkeep
will be small. All the materials used
in the process are fully recoverable
and can be used over and over again.
Even the fuel used for operating the
plant is obtained from waste by
product of the sawdust. The final
result is yield of 100 per cent"
DR.. Bergius said that at the pres
ent time the products of his plant
are being used mostly as fodder for
cattle, but that at any time it can be
converted into food fit for human
consumption. Carbohydrates, fats
and proteins, the three essentials of
diet, can all be obtained from wood,
he asserted.

SUN FINALLY COMES OUT IN
THE OPEN

The Baltimore Sun, long Republi-
can at heart, has finally come out IN
the open with the announcement that
it will not support President Roose-
welt for reelection. AS matter OF
fact the Sun never has given Presi-
dent Roosevelt much support, so that
the front page declaration OF Sept.
II was rather belated one after all.
The editorial says among other
things:
within so days the people must
make their choice in the presidential
election. 1t is, therefore, incumbent
upon those who undertake to address
themselves to public opinion to give
expression to their views. The Sun
now states that in this campaign 1t
is unable to advocate the reelection
of President Roosevelt.
"If Governor Landon speaks in
clear and bold terms, facing specific
problems and taking his stand UNI
equivocally on the side of true eco
nomic liberalism, The Sun will sup
port him, no matter what his pros
poets may be. If he does not speak
in clear terms, The Sun intends to
continue to fight for ideas that it be-
lieves to be sound and in the interest
of the people, and will make the best
of a situation in which it cannot ad-
vocate the election of either candi-
date"

REMEMBER TO TAKE THEM TO
THE DENTIST

Don't forget to check up on the
necessary dental care, when you are
getting your child ready for school,,
is the advice of DR.. Richard c. Leon
ard, Chief of the Division of Oral
Hygiene, of the State Department of
Health to parents.
Very few people realize, he con-
tinued, "the bearing that mouth
health has upon the general health.
Mouth health is phase of child
health that frequently is either over
looked or is regarded as of but little
Importance. Grown-ups who hav'
ever had any experience with decay
ed teeth or diseased gums know or
should know only too we'll that they
can cause keen suffering and have
far reaching consequences.
Children are equally sensitive,
and child's progress in school,
maybe, and often is, seriously hamp-
cred by the distracting influence of
aching teeth. The trouble doesn't
end with aching teeth and painful
mouth. If neglected, such condi-
tions frequently open the way to in
fections that undermine the health
of the entire system.
periodic examination of the
mouth, by a dentist trained in pre-
ventive care and the prompt correc-
ton of conditions in need of atten-
ton, is the best insurance obtainable
for children as well as for grown-ups,
against the extensive harm caused by
dental neglect. The secret lies in
early detection and prompt correction
of the endangering conditions. The
regular visits to the dentist should
begin by the time a child is two
years old
"a special effort is made each
year, through the Bureau of Child
Hygiene, the County Departments of
Health, the Department Of Education
and the Parent-Teacher Associations,
to have the children who are reach
ing school age, given complete
physical examination in preparation
for their admission to school. This
is urged so that unfavorable condi-
tions-if any are found-may be at
tended to before the children are sub
jected to the strain of school work.
1t is equally important for the older
children to be protected in the same
way against physical conditions I'M
favorable to good health--under
weight, defects of vision and of hear
ing, decayed teeth, unhealthy condi-
lions of the throat and nose-before
school work gets under way.
Experience has shown that the
children who start the school year
free from avoidable physical handi-
caps, have greater resistance to COM
municable diseases, make better
progress, have fewer absences charg-
ed against them, and make the
grades with less effort than is re-
quired of the children who are
dragged down by ill-health
ITO safeguard YOUR child against
avoidable illnesses see that he has
complete physical inspection before
the work gets into full swing-just
as you would do for your machine,
if you were starting on long trip.
And don't forget to take him to your
dentist"

FILM DEPICTS PRISON IDLENEss


w. Raymond Moody, coordinator-
member of the Maryland Commits
sion on Prison Labor, has completed
the production and direction of an
official 16 nm motion picture en-
titled, idle Hands. 1t depicts in
graphic presentation the problem of
prison idleness now current in Mary
lands penal institutions. 1t shows,
for the first time, what is taking
place behind the prison walls in this
State.
The picture, made possible by the
cooperation of the State Board of
Welfare, was shown for the first time
in Baltimore last week and evoked
so much favorable comment that it
is to be filmed at the American
Prison Congress in Chicago this
month. Requests have been made
by a number of Baltimore City and
Maryland county clubs and otner
organizations for showing of Idle
Hands throughout the State.
In order, therefore, that as wide a
showing as possible may be made, it
is suggested that mems and women's
organizations desiring to see the pic
ture and hear brief talk on the
State and national penal situation
communicate with Mr.. Moody as soon
as possible at The University Club
sol North Charles Street, Baltimore.
