WASHINGTON. - The Federal
" Trade Commission is acting in
restraint of loves sweet dreams.
Matrimonial agencies and books
purporting to tell you how to lasso
the lady or gent of your dreams
have caused ETC to raise its eye
brows and move to tone down en-
travagant promises.
A man in GraySlake, H., has
agreed to stop advertising that
Joining our club means the real
ization of your sweetest dream OF
love and home" and to stop guar
anteeing happiness or wealth
within three months. No more

sirable ladies who have trusted me
to find them suitable husbands
Some of them inform me their
financial standings are as follows;
A brunei, 80, with an income of
$4,000; business woman, age %
worth $4,000. :"
Furthermore, the commission
alleges, it's violation of the ETC
act when a booklet called. "How
10 Win a Husband" says:
"How much would you pay for
the love of the man you want?
Then don't sit back and let the
other girl have him. Win him for
yourself in spite of all obstacles,
The simple, clear directions in this
book tell you how"

INDEPENDENCE IN VOTING

Now if all this fine, high senti-
ment about keeping the voters
free from undue pressure could
be extended to the Vaccinations
of local political rings which reg
iment voters and march them to
the polls in battalions to place
their little KS where Boss So
And-So tells them to, that would
be great.
There is something funny to
me in hearing state and local pol
itical bosses squawking their heads
off that the president of the Unit
ed States has indicated frankly
how he would like to see the bal
lots marked when said bosses are
telling their henchmen not only
how they would like them to vote
but by golly!-how they must
vote.
Absolute independence in cast
ing the ballot is essential to
sound democracy. All this talk
against presidential interference
in suifrange may have whole
some effect on state machine and
local ring pressure in suffrage.

 Orient Tells of
 Chinese Trouble
Navy Man Describes Squal- or and How China Sol-
 diers Put Over Tricks

An interesting and graphic picture of conditions in China are revealed in letter just received by E. w. Griffin, Secretary of Alaska. from Charley Rozum, naval radio opera tor and long time friend of the Secretary. Rozum was formerly sta- toned at Kodiak with the Navy and along about 1883 was in Juneau with the submarine fleet He is now aboard the gunboat Asheville ill the Asiatic fleet and his letter comes from Annoy, China.
 Describing conditions in the Ori- ent, he says:
 T thought had seen just about the worst conditions under which people live when I saw those natives up there but they live in luxury compared to these poor devils out here. They are all ragged, dirty, sick and hungry although they have been that way for hundreds of years. It seems incredible that babies can be born amid such squalor and still live Thousands of families live on small boats called sampans These boats carry the entire fam fly plus all earthly possessions which usually consists of a few bowls of rice. a small pot they use for cook ing and few chopsticks.
 About twenty of these families hover around the ship from before dawn to well after dark, waiting for the refuse we throw overheard They fight over the garbage as fiercely as a pack of huskies over a frozen fish. If ever there was such thing as human scavengers these Chinese are it. They take crust of bread from the water, squeeze it as dry as they can and eat it then and there. The Chiefs on here have a brood which we take care of, two mothers, one with four small chill dren and the other with two. They get along quite well on the food and things we give them and in return

B. B. TRAINING CAMP SYSTEM
 IS CRITICISED
Attack Made on Demand ing Guarantees = No
 Response to Protest

NEW YORK, May 25.-A large slice of silence greeted Mike Kelley's recent attack on professional base balls sys'.-m of demanding cash guarantees from it's southern spring training camp cities.
 Kelley, manager of the Minne- apolis American association team returned to Daytona Beach, Fla city officials Q $1,000 check they had given him to cover his teams expenses.
 The veteran pilot said he was ready to break up the system"
 Tt is unfair to cities for teams seeking to improve themselves to win baseball games, to demand guarantees, cash bonuses and out right gift donations" he said.
 Kelley's Alone
 There has been no rush among ma ajor-league owners to join Kel- ley's movement.
 Five of the eight major league clubs training in Florida last spring were given guarantees, totaling $16,- 500.
 A check shows these arrange ments for the various clubs:
 Clearwater gave Brooklyn a $2,0O0 guarantee and the club took exhibition-game receipts.
 Tampa gave Cincinnati no guar antee and the Reds took gate re- ceipts.
 Bradenton gave the Boston Bees a $3.000 guarantee and the clut took gate receipts
 Orlando paid Washington $3,50C and the city took admission reve- nue.
 St. Petersburg gave the St. Louis Cardinals no guarantee, the club keeping gate receipts.
 Lakeland Gets Receipts
 Lakeland paid Detroit $3,000 and the city took game admissions.
 Odl ldSOId gave DOoCOil Itcu OOh no guarantee and the club took re- ceipts.
 St. Petersburg, in effect, gave the New York Yankees no guar antee Reports say the Yankees are given a 5000 guarantee but that the club turns back a sum equal to the deficit if the date re- ceipts don't match the guarantee
 During the spring exhibitions 95,087 persons attended Florida games. The Yankees and the Car dinals drew 44,828 in St. Peters burg. Detroit followed with 15,28f for Lakeland,
 Baton Rouge, La, business men guaranteed the New York Giants $10,O0O and took a loss of around $5,000.

 Boy babies fare slightly better than the girls.

Wilson Just Escaped
 Doubtful Honor

CHICAGO. May 25.-You've heard of the baseball boner authored by Fred Snodgrass and Merkles fail ure to touch second base which cost the Giants a pennant. but Jimmy Dykes, Chicago White Sox manager, says Jimmy Wilson should get the booby prize.
 Wilson, now manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, pulled that one in 1930 when he was catching for the Cardinals in the World Se- ries against the Athletics. Dykes was an Athletic infielder.
 Tt was the ninth inning, two out, two strikes on batter Jim Moore, was on first and Jimmy Foxx on second,' Dykes recalled. Pitcher Bill Hallahan's third pitch to Moore hit the dirt but he swung. Wilson scooped up the ball and fired to Jake Flowers on third. Why nobody knows.
 For no reason Foxx started for third, and so lit out for second. Flowers, surprised by Wilson s throw and Foxx's run, wasn't on third and Foxx made it. Jake had time to get Moore at first but when he looked up Jim Bottomley wasn't on the bag. Bottomley had gone over to congratulate Hallahan on his supposed victory.
 There the bases were full but Pepper Martin caught Bishops fly and ended the frame-and also kept Wilson from joining Snod- grass and Merkle. Still nobody knows why Wilson threw to third !"
