CAIRNS MAY GRAB
NATIONAL H0N0RS
Johnny Mize Runs Into Lull
In Homer Making After
His 41st

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-uF-ihe
hot fight for the National league
batting championship took a quick
trrn for the cooler this week when
if became known Debs CAIRNS OF
the Pittsburgh probably would be
eligible for it.
earns was hitting IT, thirty'four
points above his nearest rival, De-
fore today's game and had been Tar
above the rest of the pack most OF
the s But he had not been
considered for the batting crown
because he did not play regularly
at the start Of the campaign and
it was obvious he would not get to
bat 400 times before the season
closed.
This week, however, President
Ford Prick of the National league
disclosed that there was no rule
making 400 times at bat mandatory
for the champion. 1t was said CAIRNS
could claim the title if he appeared
in 100 or more games and up to
today he already had been in SO.
A precedent was cited in the case
of Eugene Hargraves OF the Gin
cinnati Reds, who was recognized
as the leagues batting champion In
1925 by playing in 1O5 games, al
though he went to bat only 1926
times. That was exactly the num-
Der of times CAIRNS has gone to
the plate.
CAIRNS nearest rival was Stanley
Hack of the Chicago Cubs, who has
batted 1923 for SCI times at bat
in 1879 games. But the situation was
complicated by the next highest
ranking pair, Ernie lombard of the
Reds and Johnny Cooney Of the
Boston Bees, who also have fewer
than 400 times at bat. They were
deadlocked at .319.
lombard has been at bat 376
times, but is out Of action with a
sprained ankle. Cooney has been
up 1854 times.
After them the lineup included
Frank Mccormick, Cincinnati. .S17;
Johnny Mize, St. Louis, .316; Jim
Gleason, Chicago, .314; Dixie Walk
er, Brooklyn, 81; Carvell Rowell,
Boston, .3O9; and Terry Moore, st.
Louis, 1905.
Buck Mccormick, the consistent
Cincinnati star, led in total hits
with 1872, one more than Stan Hack;
was tops in doubles with AZ and
las second in runs batted in with
119.
Johnny Mize ran into a lull in
home run manufacture and his to-
tai remained at Al, but he kept
batting in runs and had a total Of
100. He also led in runs scored with
los.
Arky Vaughan of Pittsburgh re-
manned the leader in triples with
IA and second in doubles with 81.
Lonnie Frey Of the Reds was the
leading base stealer with 20, three
ahead of Hack and Terry Moore.
Fred Fitzsimmons Of Brooklyn
held onto the pitching lead with Is
victories and two defeats with Rip
Sewell of Pittsburgh trailing him
With Is and 4.

Stay Within Shouting Dis
lance Of Tigers And Indians
With Sd Victory

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-R-The
New York Yankees stayed within
shouting distance of the Detroit
Tigers and the Cleveland Indians
today by nosing out the Boston
Red Sox, 81 behind the II hit
pitching of Ernie Bonham, their
sensational rookie.
Bonham's seventh victory wasn't
won until the ninth when R e d
Rolfe tripled and went home on
Buddy Rosar's single.
Stan Spence, pinch hitting with
two out in the Sox half of the
ninth hit a homer to tie the score.
Two of the biggest Yankee blows
were homers by George Selkirk-
his 17th-and Joe Gordon-his
18th.

Leprosy MisconcePtica
Demolished by Author

Public opinion concerning leprosy
is about where it was in the Middle
ages, the department of public
health has said, when it struck the
coolest kind of terror to the hearts
of men.
In an article by Emory Ross many
of the current misconceptions anent
leprosy are demolished. The arti-
Gle states that the disease is not
highly contagious. Contrary to gen.
eral thought, early cases Of leprosy
are not sent away. but are allowed
to remain at home, to hold jobs,
to mingle with the public, since the
disease in its early stages can be
permanently cured. Only the ad-
vanced cases are sent to the only
hospital for leprosy in the United
States. at Carville, La.
The specific mode Of infection is
not yet known. The lepra bacili is
believed to breed in poverty-strick-
en- and unsanitary places. After ex-
posture the disease does not mani
fest itself for the following six years.
Proper nutrition, fresh air and ex-
ercise are the important elements in
the treatment Of lepra patients. Psy-
chology also plays an important
part, as in many cases progress in
arrested cases results from restor-
ing the patients feeling of impor-
lance as a human being

Innocent Suspects Freed
After Lie Detector Tests

Lie detector tests were recently
described as Of primary importance
to innocent persons. as well as ex-
tremely valuable in the disclosure
of those with guilty consciences.
Detective-Lieut. Harold Mulbar,
lie detector expert for the state po-
lice in Michigan, revealed that the
polygraph tests last year cleared
half of the suspects who submitted
to them.
''Of 222 suspects, Ill were cleared.
SO were found to indicate decep-
ton, 40 made confessions and the
other Is were Of a mentality which
could not be tested adequately" he
said.
Mulbar confirmed an International
City Managers association report
that the lie detector is an economi-
cal device. He estimated that it
eliminated SIS, 900 worth of police
investigation in 1888.
The association report declared
that lie detectors are standard po-
lice equipment now in Is cities, sew
en- states including Michigan and
the federal bureau of Identification.
In Evanston, Ill. and Wichita,
Kan, all applicants for police jobs
must take the tests. In East Cleve-
land, tests are given all appli-
cants for civil. service positions.

Child Needs Religious
Training, Too, Says Writer


We have laid great stress on the
physical care of children. We have
set up centers for the education Of
mothers, organized extensive nurs-
ing services for mothers and chill
dren, trained specialists for their
protection against disease.
But in our devotion to health and
education we have overlooked the
basic element in the matter. We
have made scant provision. for the
education and development of his
spirit. We have glorified his body
and neglected his soul.
You cannot prepare for success
full happy life on this earth and
leave out God and His works, ideals
and laws. Yet that, for the most
part, is what we have done in rela.
ton to the education of our children.
The clergyman is helpless unless
the parents cooperate with him. It
is idle to teach a child one idea for
Is minutes or half an hour a day
when the remaining hours of the "a
deny the teaching. 1t is just as idle
for the teacher to teach day after
day the duty Of man to his neigh
Dor and to himself if the home de-
MES the teaching. Church and
school and home together must bring
the full measure of their regard for
the soul Of the child upon his daily
life so that righteous becomes his
habit.

Spiders Found in Brazil
That Often Eat Snakes

Snakes commonly eat spiders and
other insects. But in Brazil there
are also spiders which eat snakes.
1t was announced recently by DR.. VII
tai Brasil of Nichtheroy. Brazil.
He says the snake-eating spider is
called the "grammostola." that it
Is very fond Of several snakes but
especially likes one called the "jar-
araca" or ''lachesis atrox."
When the spider shoots its neuro.
toxic venom into snake, the latter
suffers local cramps and then teta.
nus, with commissions, progressive
paralysis and death by stoppage of
breathing. Then the spider spends
days dining on his victim.
The "jararaca" snake also is ven.
omous, but his poison will not kill
the grammostola spider.
DR.. Brasil is the founder of the
Butantan institute in Sac Paulo, Bra.
I'll, which visitors generally remem-
Der as the SNAKE farm" and which
has done much in supplying counter.
agents for snake bites.
He found there are two general
types Of spider bite-the neuro-toxic
which causes paralysis and death,
and the necrosant, which usually
produces a severe wound or scar
but is rarely fatal.
He produced serum which proved
effective against spiders and scor-
pions. The latter, in some parts
Of Brazil, take heavy toll Of chill
dren.

st. Thomas Episcopal
Church Notes
BY Church Reporter

Confirmation will be held Deem
Der %, at st. Thomas Church at
$3.50 p. m. with Bishop Stephen
Keller. of the. Minnesota diocese,
officiating.
The financial committee, under
the strong leadership of DIR. W. D.
Brown, with Joseph B. Levy and
Boyd Crawford, have almost made
their goal in the drive for funds to
iquidate back debts of the church.
A program for the ensuing year
has been launched by the commit
tee.
A group of young people of the
community meet every Friday at
the Parish House to discuss COM
munity problems and ways and
means of solving them. At the last
meeting the topic for a debate was
"Does the home contribute as much
to character building as the public
SCHOOL," with Miss Thelma Mas
sengale taking the affirmative and
Fletcher Claridy, the negative.
The meeting was demonstrative
of what the Youth of today is
thinking and contradictory to the
criticism by their elders that they
are only seeking the pleasurable
aspect of life.

St. Paul, MINI.
December 8. 1910.

Editor: While the echoes of the
Presidents campaign promises
were yet in our ears, he says
harshly that all non-military gov
eminent spending would be "cut to
the bone" To unemployed and
WPA workers, this means that re-
lief is thrown back on the locali-
ties which are manifestly unable to
carry the load, and now we witness
the spectacle Of the mayors of the
three large cities, plus some of our
CD representatives bringing to the
Governor proposals to saddle the
relief load right back onto the peo-
pie, somehow, anyhow.
Among proposals made at con-
ference reported in today's papers,
December 3, was the following in
nocent- looking one that had better
be examined by every laborer and
white collar worker (as well as the
unemployed): "a tentative sugges-
ton included but not approved by
the cities as yet, is a special relief
tax in the cities on wages and sal
aries"
What does this proposal mean?
First, that our administrators in
tend to try to finance relief out of
the already almost empty pockets
of wage earners who have already
taken invisible cuts in their real
wages through successive rise in
living costs; second, if they can't
cram this outrageous injustice
down peoples threats, they will de-
clare: "Well, there is no way left
to finance relief except-the sales
tax"
Minnesota wage earners should
angrily reject both evils, which
mean inadequate relief, depressed
purchasing power, slashed social
security. They should demand
more, not less, Federal assistance
to the states. More, not less, pur-
chasing power to the people.

Listen, Women!

A married woman who likes her
husband is much more attractive
to men than one who doesn't. The
reason is obvious It's much easier
to like woman who confidently ex.
poets the best of you than one who
has been soured by unpleasant ex.
periences. And the married woman
who instinctivelv likes men because
she likes her husband not only
makes friends tor herself but per.
forms the interesting miracle Of
making all her men friends like
Zach other. Socially she is human.
