CHICAGO. May 25.-The Chicago
White Sox's 5-game winning streak
was snapped today by the heavy
hitting Detroit Tigers, who won
10 to 4, to even the series at one
each.
Detroit ganged on Jack Knott,
Pete Appleton and Clint Brown for
total Of II hits.
The Sox produced a total of 10
hits. Dizzy Trout, eventual winner
Of the game, was hammered from
the box in the sixth, but the Sox
could do nothing much with the
offerings Of AL Benton.
Most OF the game was played
during a steady drizzle which be-
came a downpour in the ninth.
Besides putting a stop to the
march Of White Sox victories, the
setback threw the Comiskeys into a
tie for fourth place with the Sena-
tors.
The Tiger attack seemed to grow
In velocity as the game went on.
After disposing Of Knott in four
innings, the Bengals pounced on
Appleton for five hits and then
finished up with five more of
Brown.

ELECTROCUTING BUGS

Among the new inventions which
promise relief to suffering humanity is the
electric light insect exterminator, said to
have been perfected by scientists of the
University of California, ard which may
take its place among such well-knOwn ap-
pliances as the electric toaster, the electric
iron and the electric razor.
According to the United Press, the in
vention consists of bulb which may be at
tached to any ordinary electric light
socket. Among the uses to which it al
ready has beer put with success are:
In front of theaters to keep insects
from annoying patrons at the box office;
at filling stations for the same purpose;
over outdoor swimming pools and in IL
Illuminated gardens; on Fairgrounds and
athletic fields, and so on.
The same process is being employed
in chicken and turkey pens; the turkeys es-
pecially showing great appreciation of hav-
ing their food electrocuted before their
eyes and then having the choice morsel
dropped right before their beaks.
The light, which was invented es-
peeially as protection against mosquitoes,
has received so much attention that re-
quests nave come from as far as India and
Afr a for full information on its manu-
facture and use.
If the device really works as adver-
Used, its inventors may be classed among
the benefactOrs of mankind.

IN THE HIGHWAY BUSINESS

Whether the Increased production of
automobiles has been responsible for the
remarkable development of highways, or
vice versa, may be the subject of discussion
but TO one can dispute the fact that high
way construction and maintenance is now
the most expensive activity of State gov
ernmentS.
According to figures compiled by the
T. S. Bureau of the Census, the proportion
of State employees engaged in highway
construction and maintenance varied from
twenty-four per cent in the West to more
than forty per cent in the South, and aver
ages about one-third in all states.
Assumption by State governments of
the task of constructing adequate high
ways for modern motor vehicles has re-
suited in the creation of large staffs of ex-
perts, administrative officials and work
men. In many states highway work i the
largest governmental activity.

about and doing:
James Ten Eyck had just stag
gered the thought of human en-
durance by rowing $50 miles up
the Hudson from New York to
Albany-without rest. Hazel Cum

grumbled that they couldn't fight

1000 saloons closed in New York
because of taxes. and the ia
Their of prohibition, Sen. Morris

Rabbi Stephen S. Wise urged
women's suffrage because it
would make the world safe for
peace. But in Washington
scores of suffragettes were sent
to the workhouse at Occaquan
for picketing the White House

because the ladies went on hun

for the consideration and priv
