Harris Is Unsung Hero.

IT ISN'T even in the books for a
pitcher to work himself out Of as
many heart-breaking spots as Buck
did yesterday in leaving 10 Yankees
stranded on the base paths in his
final four innings-or ever since he
narrowly escaped having his skull
shattered by the ball thrown by the
rife arm that is Ossie Bluege's.
For exhibit B you could do worse
than single out Stanley Raymond
Harris, who guided the Nationals,
with devil-may-care and I'l-take-
the blame attitude, to one of the most
dramatic and thrilling opening game
victories on record.
Bucky did it the hard way
the way that's generally unsung
II it works, but the way that's
roasted to the high heavens II It
doesn't work.
Here was the picture, scarcely in
need Of retelling to the $1,000. Cecil
Travis had singled to open the ninth
inning. The score was tied, 90. OBJ
viously the logical move was to play
for that single run that Travis rep
resented on first base Carl Reynolds
walked up to the plate and Harris,
via the unfathomable sign system in
corporated in his program, signaled
for bunt.

TROM time to time in the public
follow the fortunes of Uncle
u Clark Grif1th's diamond prod
ucts have been warned to look for (a)
the youngest, (b) the most colorful
and tc) the speediest Washington base
ball firm of all time. Today it looks as
though the writing boys didn't go
alphabetic enough. There ought TO be
Id the most courageous.
Two hours and few stray minutes
of diamond drama yesterday alone
probably has left little doubt Of this
in the minds of the 81 900 who jammed
watch the 1886 Nationals exc out a
10 victory over the Yankees. There
was. as exhibit A, Buck Newsom.
Semi-delirious from the moment
Ossie Bluege's whistling throw, intend
ed for Joe Kuhel at first base, struck
below his ear yesterday with a sieken-
ing smack, Newsom by all odds was
due honorary discharge for day or q
week. 1t wasn't in the books for q
guy to take three minutes of time out,
brush aside medical advice and the
restraining arms of his teammates and
half run back onto the rubber to shut
out the Yankees.
But he did it, this big galoot
with an unmatchable heart,
that refused to quit after pun
ishment that would have hos
pitalized an ordinary mortal.
1t wasn't in the books last May,
either, for a guy to have his kneecap
fractured by line drive in the third
inning and then continue to pitch and
lose 5-to-4 decision in nine innings
to club like Cleveland. But the same
guy did it then, too,

Testifying in police court this week
as to why they had arrested De-

while driving in the police car the
previous night near Harris home

FACT AND FANCY
BY PEGGY GOVERN

The sum of wisdom is, that all
the time is eve lost that is devot-
ed to work. The good worker never
says, "There, again, it will last
always" If the artist, in whatever
art, works well on his own design,
it signifies little if he does not
find orders or custoers. That man
is happy who is content with hav-
ing acqdired the skill which he has
aimed at, and waits willingly when
the occasion of making it appreci-
ated shall arrive, knowing we'll that
the time will not otter. 1t often
happens that he time you spend in
study and experiments toward real
knowledge and efficiency, your ri
val spends in dressing up his work
for the market and effect. He sells
his picture or machine, or wins the
prize, or gets the appointment;
but you have raised yourself into
a higher school of art, and a few
years will show the advantage of
the real master over the short pop
ularity of the Snowman. We gain
our point if we can reach our COM
panion with any statement which
teaches him his own worth.

THE HEARTLESS RICH
By r. A. Adams
(For the Literary Service Bureau)

The STAINLESS extravagances OF
many of the rich people of the
country merits the severest con-
domination of the world. Doubtless
this terrible waste is responsible
for much Of the industrial unrest
and the spirit of rebellion against
the systems which make it pos
sible.
A case in point is that Of the
child, Gloria Vanderbilt who has
an allowance of $4,000 a year for
her living. To the court which
granted this allowance there was
made the contention that this
child should have, in addition,
$154.18 for ginger ale, $125 for
care of her pet cat, and tn these
the cost of 26 cartons of cigarettes.
Could there be anything more
heartless, more sordidly selfish
more inhuman? And especially
amid this terrible era of human
suffering when many are unable
to secure the plain necessities Of
life; and when thousands of peo.
pie are on the dolel
Just such extravaganza, such
contemplate i~ndifferences to the
needs and rights and sufferings Of
others, fan the fires of commun.
ism and give encouragement t.
revolution. 1t seems reasonable tx
predict that the peNt war in tht
country will be caused by this in.
human attitude of the rich TOWARD
those who labor and suffer Il
make the very %perpetuity of thu
nation possible.

The most brilliant star in the constellation of Taurus is the yel- Jewish Aldebaran, aluminary of the first magnitude. The easiest way 10 locate Aldcbaran Is by the use of the Belt of Orion. If the line ot the three stars is extended upward or westward, 1t will bring us very cloSe to the position of Aldebaran, the eye of the Bull. This stor has beGn found to be a double star, the larger component having a lumin- osity equal to about ninety times that of the sun, while the lumin- osity Of the small companion is only about one-thousandth part Of the sula's light-emitting power. The distance of the Aldebaren binary system from us Is about fifty-seven light-years.
 IIyades to be Evident
 Tn the area immediately surround int Aldebaran will be seen loose cluster of stars called tho Hyades, representing in Greek mythology tho nymphs who were the daughters of Atlas. These stars form 8 physic- ally connected swarm which all move through space together in tho same general direction and at ap- proximatcly the same speed, thus maintaining the unity of their sys. tenn. Aldcbaran itself is not part of this cluster system although it lies in the same star field, as seen from the earth. The Hyades lie ct . distance of about 125 light-years from us or more than twice that of Aldebaran. Even at this trcmend- ous distance they are the closest cluster of stars to the sun and earth,
 Another and better known clus- ter lies in the same constellation of Taurus, somewhat higher tn the sky than Aldebaran. This is the Pleiades, readily recognized and gem erally well known. Probably no star or group of stars in the entire sky has been mentioned oftener in song and story than these; and they fig- urc prominently in the mythologies and religions of tiie more primitive peoples all over the globe, from Persia, Babylon and Greece. to the American Indians, the Aztecs ano the globe, from Persia, Babylon ana Greece to the American Indians, tfle Aztecs and the Australian aboriglhes, To most people this cluster appears to consist of only seven stars form ing what may be called small dip- per: six of the seven are easily seen b,it the seventh is somewhat ill.lsive and this has given rise to the mytn of thc lost Pieiad. However. It can readily be seen on clear nights ana pcopic with sharp eycsight can count ,,p to thirteen stars. In the teies scope many hundreds are revealed as members of the same cluster. All these form physically united group which is g. gravitationally unitea unit and moves as such through space. The clusters distance from us is about 500 light-years. Ine stars of this group are of consider able luminosity. the brighter ones equal to more than hundred suns like ours joined into one. At tne distance of the Pleiades star equal

DAKOTA WIDENS
 EROSION TASKS
Control Methods Being Taught Farmers in
 Wind.Swept Areas

Fargo, N. D. - (UP) - Plans to acquaint farmers of wind-swept, drouth- -harassed North Dakota with soil erosion control methods, are being furthered in the north central part of the state, according to II. II. Bennett, chief of the Soil Conservation Service.
 A new soil conservation demon- stration area of 25,000 acres in Bot tineau County has been established. This area Is representative of much of the farming land in North Da- kota. The principal crop Is spring wheat, and in 1885, 30 per cent Of the total acreage was devoted to wheat production.
 WIND EROSION GREAT
 Soil erosion in Bottineau County, as throughout North Dakota, espe- cially in the northern sector, is seri- ou,s, but has been gradual. Much of the land has been in almost con. tinuous cultivation since 1905 and wind erosion has damaged many fields by blowing away dry, pulver- ized top soil.
 Tn places, fence lines have been covered to as high as 42 inches by this drifting soil. Drouth has ac- centuated erosion conditions in recent years, but the practice Of leaving the land unprotected. by vegetation during the summer has been q contributing factor to wind erosion.
 The Soil Conservation Service will demonstrate soil and water conser- vation methods In cooperation with farmers in the Bottineau area, Bennett announced.
 Mutual Agreement Reached
 To establish the demonstration, the service will agree to provide necessary technical planning and assistance In setting up erosion con- trel programs for farms, he said.
 In return, the farmer must agree to follow tho recommended prac- tices for c five-ycar period. He will supply as much labor ana material as possible, and the serv- fec will furnish supplemental labor and equipment when necessary.
 The Bottineau County demon- stration project is the second to pc established in North Dakota, ana brings the total of service demon- stration areas to l56 in 43 states.
