A Safer, Saner Fourth

Taking their cue, perhaps,
from towns in Delaware
like Smyrna and Clayton,
which prohibit the use Of fire
works, most communities in
all parts of the state had a
Fourth Of July celebration
without serious accidents
from that source, says the
Morning News. Several per-
sons were injured slightly,
but there were no fatalities.
This was an experience over
which the Delaware public,
no doubt, is breathing a sigh
of relief. This years eXper-
ience, and the satisfactory re-
suit Of prohibitory laws where
such exist, may induce some
towns which have not acted
heretofore to enact ordinanc-
es to meet the situation here
after. That is the only eff
fective way to stop this dang
erous and irritating nuis-
ance."

TAKE MOVIE OF
SUN FOR FILMS
Old Sol Makes Its Debut as
a Movie Star In
a Film
FLAMES LEAP HIGH

Chicago. - Giving truly colossal
performance, the sun made its de-
but as movie star in film viewed
by the nations most eminent scien-
lists.
The premiere, with Old Sol ex-
hibited in spectacul form, was at
a session of the National Academy
of Sciences at the University of
Chicago.
The pictures, which show great
Jets Of flame on the sun, shooting
to heights Of hundred thousands
miles, banded by rainbows more
than 10000 miles in length were
made by DR.. Robert R. McMath
and DR.. Edison Petit of the Uni
versity of Michigan.
The Michigan scientists '"shot'
the film from the new solar tower
Of the McMath Hulburt observa-
tory, at Lake Angelus near Pom
tiac. Sixth of its kind in the world,
the tower is fifty feet high and rises
above a concrete well thirty-fve
feet deep.
Importance of the suns pyro-
technical display to the several
hundred men of science lay in its
revelation for the first time of the
actual motion Of the flames which
compose the solar kings cloak.
Like Roman Candles.
As the sun appeared in the film,
the flames were from $4,000 to 100,-
900 miles in length composed main
ly of incadescent calcium and hy-
drogen. All along the tremendous
jets were smaller discharges like
Roman candles, which spurted tc a
length Of 1000 miles.
The film also revealed new cloud
like substances descending like cur
tains in the solar atmosphere. The
rainbows depicted appeared like
huge beaded strings.
DR.. McMath said:
This cloud development is a new
discovery and may render revision
Of some theories Of the solar prom
inences necessary.
The photographs show the sur
face Of the sun to be dotted by low,
sharp-pointed flames darting up for
a thousand miles or so and then
subsiding.
Sometimes large area of fire,
seeming to cover an extent of 1OO.-
900 miles, is blown to one side.
We have seen phenomena that re-
semble a spreading fire in a field
of wheat"
Movie photography Of the sun was
made possible ny development OF a
spectroheliograph. which elimi-
mates the brilliant light that would
otherwise blot out the picture.
Boiling and Turbulent.
Instead Of the quietly glowing ball
Of fire that it seems to be when OBJ
served through a smoked glass, the
heavenly body that diffuses ife-giv-
ing heat and rays to the earth is
turbulent mass. the photographs re-
vealed.
On the screen Dr. McMath pointed
out sudden volcanoes of fire and
gasses, estimated to attain the ter
rife heat Of 10000 degrees Fahren-
heit, rising at intervals from the
sun. Because they seemed to twist
and turn like whirling dervishes,
DR.. McMath referred to some Of
the great spurts Of fire as ''torna-
does"
Before falling back again to be-
come part Of the sun, some Of the
tongues Of fire formed an arch 50,-
600 miles in width, which would be
capable Of wiping out every living
thing on the earth. However, there
is no possibility Of their ever trav-
ersing the intervening 100000
miles, said DIR. McMath.

HOME HORSE WINS
BERRYV|LLE TITLE
Hunters Choice First in
Years to Turn Trick
for Host Town.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

n ERRYVILLE. Va, Aug 2l.-For
x the first time in many years
the grand championship of the
Berryyiile Horse Show came to
rest on home grounds. when Hunters
Choice, owned by Mrs. George P.
Greenhalgh of this community, Won
the tricolor against some Of the stifest
competition in Virginia can offer.
The reserve went to DR.. Lewis Al
lens Clifton's Chatlain, one of string

missed out in the championship
awards, but had the consolation of
cleaning up the hunt team and Corin-
THAN classes, the most important of
the final day.
The fourth exhibitor to make an i'm
portant showing was U. S. Randle OF
Washington, whose Randle's Pride re-
manned inVlncible among the open
jumpers during both sessions. The
Randle stable also gathered few mis-
cellaneous hunter ribbons. among them
the second place in the hunt team
test.
Since it combines all the features
of county fair, carnival and general
field day, the Berryyille program also
included awards for the best Baby
Beef, a few random side shows and
ry-go-rounds, and some aerial
stunts.
The parachute jumper who was the
star Of the latter troupe was proba bly
the only person in the county able to
keep cool, for it was blazing day and
one that would have stopped all but
Virginians from turning out for a
horse show. They came some 5000
strong, however. and they were re-
Warded with the sight of some splendid
horses, although performances in gen.
eral were not up to the level of the
top Old Dominion shows. The quality
was there but the heat got the horses
or the riders or both, and jumping was
erratic in most classes, a fact that only
served, after ALL to rouse the specta-
tors from their lethargy.
AS usual, the day wound up with a
series of five races, one of them for
ponies, the others for skates. The
latter, being more or less equally
matched in some heats. put up a

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 21-Enos Slaugh-
ter of the Columbus Red Birds ap-
parently has decided that his race with
Teammate John Rizzo for American
Association batting honors has gone
far enough.
Slaughter, according to official aver
ages which included afternoon games
of August 10, has pulled few points
farther away from his outfield team
mate. Slaughters mark was .38l.
while Rizzo had 1878.
Carl Reynolds, the Minneapolis fly
chaser, again held third spot with 1868
Others among the first 10 were:
Cooke, Minneapolis, 345; Kress, Min

.332; Steinbacher, st. Paul 1872; Eng
lish Kansas City, .327: Pfieger. Min

Slaughter has made the most hits,
1873. and belted the ball for a tie in
most total bases, his 316 equaling the
mark held by Reynolds. Reynolds has
scored 1870 runs, tops for the league,
and also led in doubles with AZ. Kress'
runs-driven-in mark of 1870 again was
high, while Pfeger took over the
home-run lead, having 81, one more

Maranville the Philosopher.

THERE is nothing hidebound about
the Rabbit. He went along with
the changing times. And he is as
modern In his ways now as any player
or manager in the game But won-
der If he doesn't long sometimes for
things as they used to be-when he
and Johnny Evers and Red Smith and
Sherwood Magee were Raging an UNI
pire-or haunting the opposing play
ers-or squabbling among themselves
over lost ball game-the days when
George Stallings was ranting in the
dugout-and any time the Braves
moved into town, the players on the
other club sharpened their spikes and
their vocabularies and otherwise pre-
pared themselves for fight.
II he does, he gives off few signs Of
It. One of the reasons why he was
active so long as a player was that he
always looked ahead of him and never,
like some aging players, dwelt too
much on the past. And he must be
that way as a manager, too. His phil
osophy is summed up in one of his IA
vorite bits of advice to ball players:
Fight hard for every ball game.
But when the ball game is over, close
the club house door on it. Never take
it home with you and play it over,
because, if you do, that often enough
will drive you nuts"

GENE MOORE is the howitzer of
the club with the colossal. stu
pendous, magnificent and highly me-
diocre average of 289 Next is Tony
Cuccinello, with 284 Gil English
is batting 2G0. Elbie Fletcher has .256,
Roy Johnson is nudging that ball for
.252, Vince Di Maggie is hitting PAT,
Rabbit Warstler is clouting .225 and
Al Lopez is numbering pitchers with

The rest of the squad recently
was rumored to have made
vow to get single among them
if it took all the rest Of the sea-
son.
How can ball club win with hit
ting like that? The answer is three
fold, ie, to-wit and viz: McKechnie,
two fine pitchers and old Bob Quinn.
Old Man Quinn is the keeper of
the Bees and the guy who sailed into
the American Association last year
and plucked Lou Fette and Jim Tur-
ner for the Beehive They were over
30, but, reasoned Quinn, so what?
They could, and did pitch.

Blanton Gets Help.

THEY were given their best pitching
in a week yesterday when Cy
Bianton turned in a six-hitter, and
famed seven, in muff1ing the Cards
although 15-hit attack on the part
of his mates didn't exactly do him
any harm
For the one day, however, the blast
set off by the galloping Giants against
the faltering Phililes topped every
thing in sight Bill Terry's Terriers
turned loose their biggest offensive of
the season in running up 13 runs on
81 hits, despite the breaks that side
lined Dick Bartell with an ailing ankle,
Clyde Castleman because Of the heat,
and Dick Cotfman with a spiked foot.
Paul Derringer personally account
ed for the arc-light decision over the
Cubs by driving in five runs, thereby
making the Chicago lead as slim as a
reducing diet.
The Yankees stretched their Amer
ican League margin to 1217 games

homer gave them an 8-7 edge over the
Athletics. The second-place Tigers
received thorough going over and
lost to the Browns, 11-6. The Indians

They're Almost CaSt-offS.

NOBODY else, apparently, reasoned
this way. But Fette is a great

base on balls as batting rally. They
say that If Fette were a Yankee he
would never lose ball game. Even
the most rabid Red Sox rooters do
not rank Bob Grove in Fette's class
and, for an old guy, Grove Is no
bum.
Moore is just another National
League Moore, of which there are
plenty. He has been kicked about,
all right. Cuccinello was procured in
trade for a bag of peanuts, or some
thing and Gil English was waived
out of the American League after the
Tigers had branded him the worst

he was a turbulent figure on the field,

The softening influence of the more
recent years puzzled him at first and
