There is a theory among veteran
baseball men that there is really
no such a thing as the so-called
lively ball and that the balls
seemed livelier because new ones
are injected into the game more
often as the years ensue. Two
dozen baseballS to a game is the
average now, whereas in the begin
ming, four was about the limit.

In 1888 the National League
cushioned the cork center and
adopted a thicker cover. In 1888
a universal baseball will go into

between that used last year and

Because his father died early, young
Schulz had to get out and shuttle for
himself-and so he took to the open
road. "1t's carefree life," he says,
going places and not knowing, or
caring, where you go And there
are never any bills coming due at the
end of each month"
Also, as exemplif1ed by Mr.. Schuh,
it takes mighty brave man to start
out on a long, long journey with a
bank roll amounting only to II cents.
However, Mr.. Schulz does not let that
worry him-and here Is why: Before
he accumulated his wealth he wanted
2-cent stamp so he could write to
his Uncle Albert" and break the news
that the East was on its way West.
"In Trenton I asked police ofncer

With that money Herbert Albert
Kenneth Schulz purchased some new
equipment and even bought some toys
for his younger brothers and sisters
who live in New Jersey. All told there
are 13 children in the family-an-
other reason why Herbert Albert finds
1t expedient to roam. Some of the(
kids get on his nerves.
Anyway, young Mr.. Schulz started
out with II cents.
Why" he was asked, didn't you
wait till you had at least a quarter"
Gosh" he said, "the way l,oney
flies I though I'd better get started
while had the II cents"
So Herbert Albert Kenneth Schuh
Is on his way to Montana and a new
an-time world record for hitch hiking.
In the course Of his travels, 50 far,
this aspiring young man has ridden
free in every sort Of conveyance that
runs on wheels-from the lowly fiivver
on through to the limousine and the
hearse.
"Hitch-hiking," he says, calls for

Of New York State which prohibits
this outdoor sport. 1.-The laws a good
thing, but like some other laws it has
drawbacks. It made me walk from
Buffalo to Albany"
Long hauls and short hauls alike
are welcomed by Herbert Albert Ken
meth Schulz in the course of his
hitch-hiking-and he cites the longest
ride he ever got, 400 miles, as the
guest rider of a Kansas City rum
runner, who let Mr.. Schuh share a
chance of going to jail.
And, speaking Of jails, along with
his road experience Mr.. Schulz has
been the overnight guest in some Of
the best jails in the country-and
some OF the worst, but always as a
law-abiding citizen. When there are
no municipal flop houses handy, or
no mission houses open, or no
"jungles," this young traveller calls
upon the local jail housekeeper and
asks lodgings for the night. Since he
carries his own blanket and bed linen
with him, he usually gets q nice, cozy
parking place-with good reading
light thrown in, for Mr.. Schulz Is not
only q traveller but scholar. He
carries his own library.
Hitch hikes From Necessity.
Necessity threw Mr.. Schuh into the
business of hitch-hiking his way
through life, and that is why he is
absolutely in favor of all States enact
ing laws against the hitch -hiker-
laws that will effect both parties to
the deal-the driver as well as the
thumb -wiggler.

Religion in National Life

 America was settled by religious men and women. Many of the daring folk who to these shores in the seventeenth century came primarily because of their religion is only that they sought religious freedom More important is the fact that religion meant enough to them to induce them to make an un- believably hazardous voyage into new world, the more faithfully to practice their religion
 The United States was founded by religious men, for the most part It and is today secular state without any organic relation to any particular religion church Only in that way did the found- ing fathers believe that freedom of worship was possible Their wisdom has been justified by history. Our nation has been singulary free from the religious feuds which followed the union of church and state in old-world countries Yet this secular state has never turned its coercive power against the instu ons of religion. The state in America never has ought to surp the role of the churches dicatoral governments abroad doing today.
 Ours is therefore the most enduring relationship f spiritual and political entities. For we have a ood within the framework of a secular state which permits the utmost divergence in religious beliefs. Ours s indeed society in which the spiritual life If man can flourish with the minimum likelihood of eligious controversy
 Mankind needs religon-some religion. Today nore than it is essential to his existence For wen though we have come to ahead triumphant yictory over physical environment with the pros )ect of ever-rcher material life, have scarcely ouched the larger problem of living together in peace

LOWERING HEALTH SERVICE COSTS

May to has been set aside as Child Heal eek, the major objective, as the name implies, further impress on parents and others who ha nton to the health of children particularly in tn, lbject are made by the National Congress of Parer nd Teachers in the following report:
 All parents are ambitious for their chil dren. The future achievements of the nation depend upon how successful we in the full filment of these ambitions There three great gifts which it is within power parents to pass on to our children The first of these is good health the most precious thing which any individual can possess. The second is home education pleasant, happy, wholesome well-rounded home and social life will enable the child in later life to gain a proper idea of the mental, moral, religious, and material issues of life and to live happily with his fellowmen. The third is sound school education which will permit the individual to make the most of his opportunities.
 The importance of all these three gifts is universally recognized but we as parents have in large measure failed to undertake these comparatively simple measures which will help to assure the future good health of our children. That have failed in the past is demonstrated by the fact that children Of any given age have approximately the same number of physical defects today as did ch- dren of that same age who were examined ten twenty years ago
 We need no arguments to impress us with the importance of good health but many of us unappreciative of the underlying prin- ciples which govern good health or the factors which lead to its loss
 Good health of growing children depends apon:
 (a) The development of healthy habits
 such adequate sleep, rest exercise
 a we-balanced diet, personal cleanli-
 ness, and healthy mental attitudes.
 (b) The removal of existing physical de-
 fleets such as bad teeth infected ton
 ss, adenods, poor vision, impaired
 hearing, hereditary tendencies, and
 others
 (c) Periodic health examinations.
 Because of the fact that the layman can- not recognize beginning physical defects and take steps for their correction a complete an- nual health examination by competent phy- sican and dentist is advisable. By following the advice of the physician and dentist and determnedly developing good health habits in our children we fulfilling the obligations which we as parents must undertake if we are to assure ourselves of their future good health. satisfactory substitute.

 Through this quiet day benefic as- poets rule, according to astrology It is primarily a time for serious reflection and careful planning fol the future which may bring extra ordinary experiences.
 Those who buy and sell should rush trade with unusual energy There is promise for those who start new projects, if they are well supported by capital.
 Under this sway there is an in- fluence of Mars which is menace ing. This warns of upheavals of nature as well as legislation af- fecting established traditions.
 Good news of various sorts is fore cast for this weekend. There may be international agreements of im- portance to commerce.
 This is an suspicious date for signing legal papers, although con- tracts or leases may entail extend ed preliminary discussion.
 The foreign policy of Great Bri- tain now will show some change to- ward forceful dictation and it will be supported by new alliance of some sort, the seers prophecy.
 This should be a favorable time for social affairs It is a lucky day for wearing new clothing. Girls will find in the spring fashions portents of coming events of great signifance to the nation.
 American diplomacy now will be severely tested by international policies which stimulate measures of protection for the people. In- creased concern in manufacture of armaments is foreshadowed.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of gain to those who work faithfully. Jour neys for many are indicated
 Children born on this day prob ably will be inventive and resource full. Subjects of this sign usually have a spirit of adventure.

Krause was shot and killed by Arvid Fransen at the Cove on Admiralty Island at exactly 2:30 O. clock on the afternoon of April 15 He was seen approaching Fransen's house. and was reconnoitering seemingly siafter food. As Fransen told the story, he, his wife and children were just sitting down tc dinner when one of the children saw a man coming toward the house.
 T told my wife to take a broom land start sweeping on the front porch, while I got a rifle.
 T heard my wife say. Good morning. but did not hear any re- ply.
 T then stepped out into the open and with the rifle aimed at him asked, Are you Krause?'
 Yes, he answered.
 His teeth were locked tight and he spoke through them. His eyes were set and glaring and I never ysaw more ferocious face on any man.
 As Krause answered my question he half turned towards the corner of the house, as if he would at- tempt to get behind the corner. He had a bulge under his coat which made me think he had a gun, and I shot him. The bullet hit him in the side, I don't know exactly where, as his turn threw my aim a little off.
 As the first bullet struck him, he clspped his hands to his side and turned to move more towards the corner of the house and I shot him again. The second bullet hit him in the head somewhere and knocked him clean off his feet. He fell and struck on the side of his face and never turned"
