The old man peered closely.

as life and twice as natural, is a mans
thumb print and Tod West stood in
there for ten minutes fooling with a
bright tin cup!"
A light of understanding dawned in
Ezra's old eyes.

said. Lay it on the ground. So.

slowly, "all swollen up. Notice that?"

for figures-he picked the Giants. That
left only the Pirates, Dodgers and
Phils for the Cubs to attend to (since
the Reds and Bees always can handle

IF ANYBODY ever conducts poll to
determine the most mulish person in

the boy who stood on the burning deck.
He probably had business elsewhere
and his folks must have warned him
about playing around with fire. but he
persisted just the same.
That's fine way to get reputation,
but it's not old ParsOn Bradley's way.
If anybody should ask him what is
his way, the best he could do in the
shape of a snappy comeback would be
to nifty that it is something he has
not been having recently but that prob
ably is beside the point. What is right
on top of the point is the fact that the
venerable ParsOn is about to pick some
winners and he is not the sort of per-
son to fool around with burning decks
piled high with the figures of experts.
Instead he is going to hop right
overheard and name the lucky lads who
will participate in the World Series in
September or October or whenever the
ever changeable magnates have decided
to hold the annual gold and glory
classic.
In fact, he could do even better than
that. An ordinary expert would think
that he was having pretty fair day
after naming two winners, but the Par
son still is so unused to having his pic
ture in the paper that it probably has
gone to his head (where a little hair
undoubtedly would 60 better). He
could name three winners in two
leagues, if he wanted to.
That he doesn't want to is because
this, after all, is very serious prOpo-
sition and there is a higher duty owed
to his public.

PERMIT RESTRICTS |
AMEL|A'S PLANE|
Air Commerce License Linn
its Flying Laboratory to
Intra-U. S. Hops.

Amelia Earhart Putnam has been
granted temporary restricted license
by the Bureau of Air Commerce for
her new twin-engined flying labora-
tory. This license probably will be
extended for q year within q few
days.
The granting Of the license lays at
rest FOR the present at least rumors
that Miss Earhart is planning q flight
across the Pacific or around the
world. The restricted license for
which she has applied permits flights
only within the United States. She
will have to obtain another type of
license If she intends to fly elsewhere.
1t also was reported here that, al-
through the new airplane originally
was equipped with large special fuel
tanks, these have been removed and
its present fuel capacity now Is 1894
gallons, snfiicient only for moderate
flight range.
Under the sponsorship OF Purdue
University, Lafayette, Ind, where she
is consultant in aeronautics, Miss Ear
hart Is expected to conduct q re-
search program in altitude operations
for transport planes and a study Of
the effects upon different individuals
Of speed, altitude. fatigue, pressure
and other flight factors.
Her new airplane, built at q re-
ported cost of $4,000, is a twin
engined, low-wing Lockheed Electra.
1t is the first multi-engined airplane
she has operated regularly in eight
years Of flying and is the fastest Of
the airplanes she has flown regularly.

RAIN HELPS CHECK
FIRES IN FORESTS
$4,000 Men Fighting Minnesota
Blazes to Get First
Respite.


By the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, August 18.-The first
good rain since mid-June fell early
today in Northern Minnesota, greatly
aiding $4,000 men fighting fires which
had destroyed thousands of acres Of
timber and brush.
Duluth reported steady downpour,
accompanied by lightning. If the rain
continued, forestry men said, the fire
fighters would earn their first real
respite in 10 days.
The rain followed reports that the
fires, which had burned over thou
sands Of acres Of timber and brush
lands, were being held in check yes
terday after light rains.
Although A. B. Opel, deputy State
forester. yesterday termed the north
woods situation "still very dangerous,
he said all Of the blazes were under
control. However, rising winds would
quickly whip the smoldering blazes
into fiaring activity, he said.
The Tom Lake blaze north of How.
land on the north shore Of Lake SUI
perior was held within fire lines last
night, as was new blaze reported In
the Markham-Palo district, where
earlier fires destroyed IS homes.
The Frost Lake fire, which caused
foresters most concern yesterday, was
under control, and rangers said the
situation at McGrath was "out Of

STRIKE CONTINUES
AT BAKERY PLANT
Union Business Agent Rejects
Offer by Dutch Baker
Bow President,

The strike against the Dutch Baker
Boy plant by union bakers and bakery
sales drivers was still on today, as
picketing Of the plant and the cor
poration's trucks continued.
Charles B. McClosky, business agent
Of the Bakers Union, Local lib, de-
clared he had not accepted an offer
made last week by William M. Ed
wards, president Of the company, to
take over production at the plant with
view to reducing labor costs and
making possible payment of union
wages to both bakers and statesmen.
McClosky said he had sent a union
baker to look over the plant to see
what improvements were needed, but
he could not take charge Of the estab-
lishment.
Robert c. Lester, agent for the
barkery drivers union, said his men
had '1et up" in their picketing until
Edwards decided what he would do
toward bringing about an agreement.
When no offer Of a union contract
was made. however, the men resumed
active picketing, he said.
Lester added that % Of the con-
Germs drivers, all union men, had
gone on strike and were still out.
