stop and search vessels suspected
of smuggling at various distances
from shore up to IL miles. Some
treaties also permit suspected
smugglers to be stopped within one
hours sailing distance from shore;
thus slow boat might be consid-
cred to be outside American terrific
rial waters after travelling only five
or six miles, while fast one might
have to go 20 or Is miles to get
beyond the ''limit."
Many of these treaties were made
during the time of national prohibit
ton of the sale of liquor and were
aimed primarily at liquor SNUG
glers. If a vessel is ordered to stop
by coast guard patrol within
American territorial waters, and re-
fuses to obey, it may be pursued,
stopped and searched even though it
succeeds in reaching the high seas.
Ships engaged in piracy or the slave
trade may be legally stopped any
where on the high seas by war
ships or patrol vessels of any ma
ton. Many nations enforce laws
relating to smuggling, neutrality,
fishing, sanitation and navigation as
much as Is miles out from shore.
Origin of Custom.
The idea that nation might ex-
ercise legal control over the seas
adjacent to its coasts grew out of
former attempts of nations or their
rulers to claim sovereignty over all
the oceans.
The people of Tyre were declared
to have brought the sea under
their dominion for long time, not
only the neighboring sea, but wher-
ever their fleets went" and the eX-
preston "Tyrian sea" came to mean
a body of water over which control
was exercised.
The League of Nations once pro-
posed that all countries adopt a uni
form limit of six miles from shore
for their territorial waters, and that
within this area they also would
have control over the air above and
the soil and subsoil beneath.

Nourishing Foods Disagree.

list in the order in which they cause
symptoms in any group are: (D

milk, 50 beans, (6) peas, CD pota-

Yanks Can W ait

Terry was the Giants strongest
holdout against night ball. Horace
Stoneham, the president, and Leo
Bondy, vice president and treasurer,
were believed to have been in favor
of the innovation.
Barrow isn't pressed by the neces-
Sity of installing lighting system.
Other ball clubs may have to resort
to artificial devices to drum up box
Office trade, but the Yanks continue
to be one of the most talked of
baseball teams in the games his
tory. AS long as they can keep
on winning championships they'll
get crowds. Barrow knows that,
and as a business man is shrewd
enough to let other clubs conduct
the experiments.
Lighting systems are far from in
expensive, and Barrow would much
sooner wait for a time before in
stalling the elaborate system which
would be required by the Yankee
stadium.
If, as is thought in some quar-
tiers, night ball is just a fad, then
the Yanks' management will have
saved q suitcase full of money. At
any rate, the champs are sitting in
the golden seat at the present.
They can continue to play cham
pionship baseball and attract crowds
whether they play in the afternoon
or at night. And if the experiment
for night baseball is still in that
Stage-proves successful, the Yanks
will climb on the kilowatt band
wagon.
But Mr.. Barrow would do well to
remember that the horseless car
riage was considered a mere fad
long after old Dobbin first ran away
at the sight of one.

.Speaking of Sports
Night Baseball,
''Fads' Hit by
7 ankee Chief
By ROBERT McSHANE

EDWARD G. BARROW, president
- of the New York Yankees, in his
latest communique from the base
ball front, has evidenced complete
disinterest in the many save-the-
game-from-oblivion suggestions
made by various diamond messiahs.
The president of the world cham
pions seems quite well satisfied with
things as they are. In fact, he re-
marked that Outside of a couple
of young pitchers, you can say I'm
almost tempted to go along as is"
Returning from a southern vaca-
ton, Barrow was emphatic in stat
ing that he is not interested in get
ting Hank Greenberg from Detroit,
in night baseball for the Yankee
stadium during the 1910 season, in
other "fads" or in breaking up the
Yankees or SELLING 'em, either"
Barrow believes the Yanks can
win their fifth straight pennant with
out making a single change. A lot
of club owners, incidentally, go
along with him on this belief. He
does admit that the Yanks may have
to bolster bit here and there, but
only after winning five straight.
Six-day weeks, night baseball and

100 per cent in the past 20 years.
Why, then, he asked, go in for any
new-fangled ideas? The game has
prOspered through regularity and
dignity. To tinker with those fac
tors would be dangerous to the well

A 300-mile neutrality zone"
off the coasts of the Western
Hemisphere, and President
Roosevelt's statement that
American territorial waters ex-
tend as far as American inter-
ests dictate, call attention to
the age-old question of jurisdic-
ton over the sea.
How far outward from it's coasts
any nations sovereignty extends has
been the subject of argument since
a thousand years before the Chris
tan era. In that period Minos, king
of Crete, "made himself master of a
great part of what is now termed the
Hellenic sea-" according to the
Greek historian, Thucydides.
Today no nation claims absolute
control, under ordinary conditions,
over any part of the sea more than
a few miles from its coasts. Terri
torial waters of the United States
extend out three miles from shore,
while some other nations fix the linn
it as much as six miles out. Norway,
Sweden and Denmark set the limit
at four miles because of the deep
ly indented confguration of their
coasts, which complexities the draw
ing of line.
Adoption of Three-Mile Limit.
The three-mile limit was adopted
by the United States and Great Brit
ain toward the close of the Eight
eenth century because it represented
the maximum cannon range of those
days. Today, however, the range
of coast defense guns is 20 miles or
more, while bombing planes can OPP
crate hundreds of miles out from
shore.
Although the three-mile limit is
generally recognized as the bounda-
ny of United States territorial wa
tiers, there actually are several 9TH
er '.limits" in existence for special
purposes. Treaties between the

LOW TO HOLD THE BALL
IL There are several styles anG
each has its own champions. One
good thought to keep in mind, how
ever, is to do things as naturally as
possible. Try to make each finger
do some work in the delivery.
The woodworking" fingers should
be spread slightly so they can aid
in carrying, delivering and impart-
ing spin to the ball. Practice will
help determine your natural grip.
The thumb may be inserted to any
depth desired because it is a flexible
digit; however, it is not considered
advisable to "bury" the thumb to
the bottom of the hole. Rather, in
sert it about three-quarters of the
depth of the hole, so that free
release may be executed.
Keep in mind that the secret of a
hook ball rests in the principle of
releasing the thumb ahead of the
fingers-so be sure to use fairly
loose thumb hole and not grip the
ball too tightly.

Cod Liver Oil
Is Bottled Sunshine

The taking of cod liver oil to build
up resistance to colds and other in
fections is now well-established
custom in many families and pre-
paratory schools. This is especially
true during the days when there is
not much sunshine. Cod liver oil is
sometimes called 'bottled sun
shine"
A few years ago surgeons found
that in old injuries to bone, where
infection was present, scraping
away the dead bone and tissue and
filling the space with cod liver oil
brought about more rapid healing.
This cod liver oil treatment for old
wounds is now a recognized proceed
ure in many countries.
A still further use for cod liver oil
in what may be called a surface"
infection is recorded by DR.. I. A.
Manville, Portland, Ore, in North
west Medicine. One of the mean and
persistent Affections is Lucrative CO.
itis, an liberated condition of the
large intestine or colon. There is
alternating diarrhea and constipa-
ton with pus and blood, symptoms
which resemble cancer, as there is
also the loss of weight. Treatment
by injections of boracic acid and
other preparations bring disappoint-
ing results in many cases.
Manville's Method.
DR.. Manville devised method Of
applying the cod liver oil to the lin
ing surface of the last two or three
feet of the large intestine (colon).
The apparatus is composed of an
ordinary paint gun as used in apply
ing paint by the spray method. The
only difference is that the nozzle
is especially designed so that the tip
will barely protrude beyond the end
of the sigmoidoscope-the instru-
ment which dilates or widens the
last few inches of the bowel for
examination purposes. The air pres
sure is adjusted by the use of an
air pressure reduction gauge so that
it is barely sufficient to deliver a
spray at the top of the nozzle. After
preparing the patient with cleans
ing enema, the sigmoidoscope is in
serted full length, the nozzle of the
spray gun placed in position, and
the pressure released. The entire
apparatus is slowly withdrawn, thus
leaving a thin coat of cod liver oil
applied directly to the lining surface
of the lower bowel.
The patients treated by this meth
cd, though not large il number,
have been distinctly benefited.

Several small craters on Saare,

has nothing particular to recon-
mend it-night baseball is fad and
upsetting to the players, the umpires
and to the newspapers, not to men
ton club officials"
Their fellOw-tOwnsmen, the Giants,
who had been among the foremost
opponents of night baseball, have
capitulated. The success the Brook
Ign Dodgers have had with night
ball, plus the fact that their own
attendance fell considerably last
year, have made the Giants see the
light. Prior to this they not only
were opposed to night ball in New
York, but were the only National
league club that wouldn't play it on
the road.
The Giants broke down when they
saw the Dodgers attendance figures.
That club played to more than a
million customers, and more than
100000 of them were counted in the
seven night games played in Ebbets
field. In cash that amounted to
1910, 000-exactly 270, 900 reasons why
Master William Terry decided to
play ball under the mazdas.
Electrical engineers have de-
clared that the Giants Polo grounds
will be easier than most parks to
light because of its horseshoe shape.
The 836-foodlight arrangement will
give light totaling 200, 000,000 candle
power. 1t will cost approximately
SIPS, 900, which the club should be
able to pay off in three or four
years.

INSPECTORS LOSE
 POSITIONS HERE
Testing Lane Squad Af= fected By Economy Plan
 of Governor

Action of Gov. Raymond E. Bald- win in refusing to allot funds for motor vehicle inspections even though the state legislature at Hartford has taken no action on his recommendation that the testing be abolished has forced Commissioner Michael A. Connor to order the dis missal of 80 testing lane employees, including three stationed at Water bury.
 Only two inspectors will remain on duty at the Thomaston avenue lane, Supervisor Thomas Lumpkin of Thomaston and Inspectator Wm. R. Smith of Bethlehem, a former member of the General Assembly. They will be retained until legisla- tive action on auto testing has been taken.
 Losing their jobs through the fall- ing of the economy axe are Inspec- tors John OeVitox. of 195 North Main street; Edward Clancy of Ansonia; and William F. McDermott of Naugatuck.
 Only 20 testing lane employees in the state are being retained, and the lanes will be used only for the testing of cars from out of the state and for cars owned by de- linquent Connecticut residents.
 Commissioner Connor favors re- tention of the testing statute and will appear at the state capitol when hearings on Gov. Baldwin's proposal are held. Democrats in the senate and house have already gone on record as opposing the gover- nor's plan, and will seek to have the law remain on the statute books.
 The commissioner had no choice but to dismiss four-fifths of the 100 testing lane employees in the state when Gov. Baldwin refused to grant an appropriation for maintenance of the lanes until action has been taken by the legislature. Notice Of dismissal was mailed to the em- ployes involved from Hartford last night.
 Under the testing law, car owners are obliged to have their cars in- spected and approved at testing lanes in the state twice each year.

Ganung Says Finances Af= fected By Unemployed

YMCA fiances are being affected by the large number of unemployed young men, it was pointed out by Treasurer c. Raymond Ganung at meeting of the board of directors of the "" last night.
