Evasion, First Lesson

If you've ever wondered what
language the dead-beat nations
use in refusing to pay Uncle Sam
their debts, here's part of letter
sent Secretary Hull which you
might use to advantage in replying
to that store that has been dun
ming you and writing your chief:
My Government has taken note
of your reiteration that the U. S.
Government is fully disposed to
discuss, through diplomatic chan
nelS, any proposals which the
Government may desire to put for
ward in regard to the payment of
this Indebtedness, and that such
proposals would receive careful
consideration with a view to event
ual Submission to the American
Congress. Government
will avail itself of this opportunity
when it will be found that discus
sions in this matter will be likely
to produce mutually agreeable re-
suits"

MORE TEMPERAMENT

After being yanked from the
box, Ferrell again slammed his
overjacket around the premises
and once again he went to tear
ing the thing to Shreds, stopping
only in a sane moment when he
remembered the last one he tore
up cost him II bucks.
Anyhow, the hitless White Sox
collected six hits, three walks and
four runs off Wesley in two in
nings yesterday. and when the
Mats failed TO keep pace, the game
was pretty much in disrepair. On
the other hand, the White Sox
amazed at their own hot pace and
given the mental jump, went or
to NOV down Monte Weaver and
Zion Hogsett.
And so Ferrell's future just
now, despite his nine victories. is
one of the DINNER phases of the
Washington ball club, for he GER
tainly ranks somewhere around
the bottom when they get to rat
ing the Nat pitchers. 1t may mean
that Pete Appleton will be upped
as a starting pitcher, a job he de-
serves as much as any pitcher on
the club.

MAY BE BENCHED

Ferrell's latest failure. however,
may cause him to be filed away. in
the bullpen for further reference,
since he hasn't pitched a credit
able game since he threw five
hitter at Detroit almost month
ago. Terrell has. however. stag
gered through to victory most of
the way on high-score victories,
typical of his 1873 materpiece over
the Athletics opening day, when
he was tagged for Is hits.
Failing to finish his last four
games, Terrell has been socked for
IS hits and 81 runs in his last II
innings of labor. a record that
might be surpassed by little Willie,
age 10.
Somehow the Mats have man
aged to smack over a prepon-
derance of runs behind Terrell;
but failing to swat home 9 and 10
runs per game for their problem
child seems to have deadening

victims as well as victims Of other
types of crime viewed him under
the strong lights.

for $1,325, 200 of improvements at

The improvements are to be Fl.
nanced out of $6,000.000 of Public
Works Administration funds al
ready placed at the Districts dis
posal for local projects. Applica-
tions for $12,OOO,COO more are
awaiting PWA approval.
The Gallinger program includes
a $75O,00O medical ward building
and a nurses home and ward
building combined to cost about
$575,OOO.
PLANS WELL ADVANCED
Municipal Architect Nathan c.
Wyeth and his staff drew the
plans. Although not entirely COM
pleted, the plans are sufficiently
detailed, it was explained. to give
the Health Department enough in
formation on which to base faV-
orable decision.
The contract for use of PWA
funds in the District stipulates all
projects must be under way by
January l, 1910.
The PWA construction program
in the District has put the Wyeth
offices in the District Building on
an overtime basis. The municipal
architect has enlarged his staff
and requisitioned additional office
space for the workers.
COURTS NEXT IN LINE
Next in order, it was said, will be
construction of new Municipal
Court building and new Juvenile
Court building.
Although none Of the $18,0OO,'
900 of applications has been ear
marked for improvements of the
Potomac River, there is a posi-
bility that some of this money
may yet be used to combat pollu-
ton of the river in this area. Com
