 BY HENRY McLEMORE

BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent New York, September 29. = (UP) = I, Henry McLemore, don't care who wins the 1896 World Series.
 And you're a sucker if you do. The Tanks in four straight or the Giants in four straight, what does 1t matter?
 That's the way I feel after talking to Bill Terry in the Giants dressing room at the Polo grounds. I went out to interview Terry yesterday, all hopped up over the series. I was honestly excited about the thing. And that was perfectly natural. New York,s seven or eight millions were talking of nothing else. Five dollar seats were selling for ewenty dollars, so great was the demand. Sports pages were filled with stories about the two teams, and the front pages told of special trains, loaded with hysterical fans, arriving for the battle. Outside the Polo Grounds half a hundred ragged guys, determined to get at least standing room, sat on rickety stools waiting for the gates to open. Some of them had been there for a week.
 Then I talked to Terry, and my enthusiasm went limp.
 He's the manager of the Giants the man who'll lead them into battle and for thirty minutes he talked of the series as diSpasSionately as a fishmonger discussing the price of frozen halibut. Before he finished I actually felt like running outside and telling those fellows sitting out side the general admission gates to take those fifty cents they were clutching in the hands and go spend 1t on good movie.
 I'll quote few lines of our con- cersation to show you how keyed up Terry is over the series.
 How do you feel about this one, Bill? Getting little on edge?"
 Not me! And why should I? It's just some more ball games, isn't it?"
 Do you think it'll be as good as the Giants last one, when they | played Washington"
 "Oughta be better. There were a lot of empty seats at those games in Washington. It'll be sell out here."
 What do you think about the Yanks?"
 Don't know. Never saw 'em." Do you think the Giants, because they're in the World Series, will play better than they did during the reg ular season?"
 Don't know. Maybe they will and maybe they won't. From what I've seen of World Series the teams play about the same as they do in regu- lar games. The players may take a few more chances, but that's about all"
 "Is your pitching staff the best you ever had with the Giants?"
 "No. The 1883 one was much bet ter. I had four good starters then" {"
 els the team excited about play ing the Yankees for the title?" "Not much. Some of the kids are bit excited, but they'll get over that"
 That's hot stuff, isn't it? Enough to make any reporter catch 8 cab back. to the office and write power | ful piece about how the Giants and the Yankees, mortal enemies, meet | tomorrow on the battle ground in 8 duel to death for the championship of the world.
 It must be, because lot of 'iem are doing 1t. But-and phase pardon my profanity - I'll be damed If l will.

PLATFORM
BY EDWIN C. HILL
Copyright. 1886. by international
News Service)


CONVENTION HALL, CLEVE-
LAND, June 10.-They're getting
down to brass tacks today. The
real business is about to begin.
First the platform, next the can
didates. This is platform day-we
hope. The program says so, but
the truth is not in a convention
program. If the platform build
erS get into a jam-and it's even
money they're in one now-we
may not get the sacred declara-
ton Of principles and plattitudes
until tomorrow.
Hopping nervously from one
hideout to another, to duck the
bayleg hounds of the press, the
members of the committee on
resolutions, loaded down with
heavy planks, fairly staggering
under the burdens-are SQUAD
bling and showing their teeth
over four or five headache
makers. First, the currency
plank.
What to do about money-silver
and gold. How to weld bitterly
conflicting views, as opposite as
night and day, into kind of mel
low twilight soothing to all. Free
silver or anything approaching it
is out.
A rigid gold standard is out.
Not even Wall Street wants it.
What then? Quien sabe? Second,
the foreign relations plank. EN-
brace the World Court or give it
the cold shoulder? Keep med

ding in international rows or
serve notice that we don't give a
boot? Third, the old monopoly,
trust-busting plank, which should
be easy. Fourth, the farmers, and
fifth, the general problem OF re-
lief.
That's the Set-up, and it's full
of dynamite. Borah Is stomping
his feet and shooting dirty looks
at the Landon-controlled resolu-
tons committee, but it begins to
look now, as the convention goes
into it's second session, that they
won't be far apart at the finish.
The Landon people are wooing
Borah as Romeo courted Juliet.
Senator Arthur Capper Of Kansas,
gentle soul and most likeable,
Strolling by this writer, drops the
hint that the Landonites would
like to see Borah take the Vice
Presidential nomination. Landon
and Borah. Something to conjure
with. They argue that the gentle
man from Idaho can't expect
more than another term in the
Senate If he wins out this fall.
Second Place Talked
With Landon just about in, the
talk in convention hall Is mostly
about second place on the ticket.
Young Bridges from New England
is in favor. Steiwer, of oregon,
made great hit with his key
noting speech last night. There's
talk of George Peek and New Jer,
Sey'S Edge.
It's funny about the attitude
most big fellows take when they
are asked to play second fiddle.
They get red in the face and
breathe hard and register indig'
nation all over the place. Yet the
chances are on to five, mathe.
matically, that a Vice President
will succeed his chief. That's the
way it has worked out in our his.
tory.
Three men command eye and
ear at the convention.

a manager. Ever since then they
have been friends.
There's another rising star in
the Republican galaxy, Senator
Frederick Steiwer of Oregon, key
noter of this convention, who
made a slambang hit last evening
when he sounded the battle cries
of the campaign.
This is not his year, but unless
fate proves singularly unkind his
day will come. He's only SO, and
can have at least three more shots
at the nomination.

Radiant Living
IN THE CALM OF INFINITE
LOVE
By Rev. c. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

Jesus was constantly revealing
the Infinite Love Of God.
Review His marvellous life and
you are impressed with the unique
compassion that permeated its to-
tality-a compassion that went out
even to those who tortured Him to
death. Only Infinite Compassion
could cry: Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do"
In looking back over the life of
Him who revealed unto us the
Fatherhood of God, the Apostle
John, who caught in Jesus Christ
a glimpse of the nature Of God, de-
clared: God is love, and he that
dwelleth in love dwelleth in God
and God in him."
When there is once given to us
a revelation Of the love nature of
God, there comes to the soul a
blessed relaxation from the strains
of life.
Many there are who live whetch-
ed lives. Their state of mind is al
ways in turmoil. But there is for
all of us blessed escape from
scuh a disagreeable existence.
Like a vessel that has put into
the sheltered cove behind the
breakwater and has found a snug
haven from the furious tempest
that rage outside, SO the man who
has passed within the sheltering
arm of faith and reached the
peaceful waters of Infinite Love
has found a snug haven from those
tempests that rage over the sea of
a materialistic minded life.
Such a soul rides at ease upon
the quiet waters of a happy con-
tentment in God.

CHAIN STORES
AID CALIFORNIA
Helping Packers To Dispose
of Their Dried Fruit
Products
HELP MARKET PROBLEM

With two successful Produce
Consumer campaigns completed,
the Food and Grocery Chain Stores
of America today announced the
two weeks which began last Mon
day, October IL and to continue to
October 19 as the dates for ma
tionwide sales drive on California
dried fruits. This extension of the
cooperative distribution" move
ment, through which food chain
stores avertted a crisis in the Cal
ifornia canned peach industry and
aided millions of cattle raisers with
a domestic beef sales drive, will be
launched by $4,000 retail outlets to
help a $3OO,OOO,OOO industry on
which 10000 families are depend
ent. Sales of raisins, figs, prunes,
dates and dried peaches, apricots,
pears and apples will be stimulated
through newspaper advertisements,
elaborate store displays and the
circulation of thousands of recipes
for dried fruit dishes among house
wives and chefs in hotels and res
taurants. Carload lots of the fruits
are moving eastward to stock the
shelves of the chain stores to sup
ply the demand. Impressed with
the advantages of cooperative dis
tribution" offered by the food chain
stores at the request of the peach
growers and cattle raisers, the Cal
ifornia Dried Fruit Sterilization
Committee under the Craftsmanship
of Philip Bancroft of Contra Costa,
California, asked the Food and
Grocery Chain Stores of America
to undertake a similar campaign.
The dried fruit growers of Cali
fornia were faced with a serious
marketing problem as a conse-
quence of unsettled world condi-
tions which curtailed foreign mar
kets and forced the growers to
look to domestic consumption of
their products. Chain store execu-
tives, encouraged by the success of
the previous campaigns, saw the
opportunity to bring a fod delicacy
with real nutritional value to
American tables at attractive pric-
es and agreed to promote the dried
fruit drive.

FIGHT
TUBERCULOSIS

year-round educational campaign
to control tuberculosis. This is their
thirtieth annual appearance and it
is the tenth time that the face of
Old st. Nick has been used as a
symbol of health. In commenting
on the new Seal, Miss Bissell said:
Santa Claus on the 1886 gay red
and green seal has been treated in
the modern cartoon manner and
thi is fitting. Why? Because the
thirtieth seal has a new massage,
more optimistic than in former
years. The death rate from tuber-
culosis is steadily though slowly
declining and well-known health
authorities believe that tuberculos-
is can and will be eliminated. From
being the highest cause of death it
has now become the seventh. In
other words in 1907 when the first
Christmas Seals were sold the
death rate from tuberculosis was
179 for every 100000 of the popu-
lation; it is now less than so in the
Registration Area of the United
States. Modern health methods
have done much to force this rate
down and Santa in modern style
may well call attention to that
fact. Yet this is no time to rest
complacently, for nearly 10000
persons are dying from tuberculos-
is each year and Of that number
considerably more than half occur
among men and women from Is to
As. In 1885 there were 155 deaths
in Delaware. There is still much
to be done if we are to wipe out
tuberculosis in the next thirty
years The campaign will open
on Thanksgiving Day and continue
until Christmas.

following characteristics of fired
bullet can be obtained: maximum
diameter of the bullet and width of
land and groove impressions. The
instrument is so constructed that it
can be clamped into position on the
stage of a microscope.
Errors Are Reduced.
The inclinometer, like its compan-
ion piece, reduces errors of meas
urements made in the examination
of fred bullets. 1t reveals the rate
of twist of the gun barrel from
whence a bullet came. By twisting
a bullet slowly around under the
magnifying lens this information
can be obtained.
This is an extremely important
phase of ballistics since various
makes of firearms employ different
rifling. The twist" in some bar
rels makes a complete turn in 16
inches, others require 1894 inches.
The instrument consists of a spe-
cial compound microscope equipped
with special stage so arranged that
elements of lateral displacement
and rotation may be accurately
measured.
New principles embodied in the
Wilson thermometer dispense with
triginometric computations required
in existing methods. The determi-
nation of the angle of twist is thus
reduced to a simple arithmetical
problem which can be solved by
mere inspection of the rotational
and lateral displacements SO meas
ured.
