The party has bee made mer'

In 10 games in Harlem and

manufactured SIS nome runs, an
average of %. They made 1856
hits, an average of 20; scored 237
runs, an average of IL.
Scorers have put in orders for

Despite poor pitching, i. is a sad
commentary on the Giants that
they gave up when only six games
out of first place.
This those closest to Mel Otis
men say they did when the Braves
extended their losing streak to
seven by taking both ends Of a
Sunday double header at Braves

The Cardinals made a fresh run

anything like 1900, 900 paid ad-
missions at home, which is a new
Polo Grounds record with some

best shortstop I have ever seen,

Griffith. among countless other
things, sold his son-in-law, Joe
Cronin, also quite a shortstop, for

Boudreau as the American

That went for even Connie Mack

The main trouble with the Pi-
rates is that they + overloaded
with right-hand batters. Right
hand pitchers are all they see, as
long as the other club has one
available.
Manager Herman points cut

What Wallace Hopes.
Mr.. Wallace hopes to force greater
recognition in England of the back
benchers' fight which, according to
his information, is being played
down by the British press, He
claims to be entitled to hope that
they can alter Mr.. Bevin's course.
He hopes also that the shot and
shell fired in the attempt will re-
bound into the American camp, on
the theory that if Britain moves
left, the United States will be forced
to follow suit.
British sources here are cautious
about predicting the kind Of recep-
ton Mr.. Wallace will get. They say
that his influence will be lessened
because he is no longer member
of this Government. Pointing out
that in England, party government
is the legal government, one author
ity hazarded the guess that Mr.. Wal
lace will find less real rebellion than
he anticipates because under their
system the requirements OF party
regularity are very rigid.
It is not new for Mr.. Wallace to
gamble, however.

The ancient Greeks believed that
the stone prevented intoxication.

dense pea soup" fogs?-D. M. E.
A. London had a dense New
Year Day fog in the year 173O,
when several persons lost their lives
through falling into Fleet Ditch
and the canal in st. James Park.
There was likewise much damage TO
shipping on the Thames. The
heavy fog that began December 27,
1913. was remarkable for lasting
with but little intermission until
January 3. There is scarcely a gall
Ion of water in cubic mile of fog,
yet this small quantity of water can
tie up a great city for several days.

A. Victor Herbert. At one time

A. 1t is the only flying mammal
Birds and insects are animals, and
they are the only living animal
groups which are characterized by
true flight. There have been flying
reptiles, but they are extinct Fly

A. The life span of a cat is about
Is years.
@. Why are plants given Latin
names?-T. T.
A. The custom goes back to the
days when Latin was the language
of learning, and is continued to this
day because Latin still is an inter-
national language. Latin plant
names are recognized in all countries
and the chief advantage of the sys-
tenn is that these names indicate
the relationship of plants.

comes with 1t. There was a time
when Eastman was a boy, that a
camera was no more complicated
than the solar system, and a man
could operate one without spending
two years of his life at a good tech
nological school. But just when
every one was beginning to be able
to take a clear. clean photograph
with a camera, the Germans started
making camera which had more
gadgets than an old model T.
America Follows Suit.
Not to be outdone by the Germans
American camera makers followed
suit and soon it was impossible to
buy a camera that looked like a
camera. To those of us born around
the time Barney Oldfield was a
daredevil, a camera was an ugly,
square box, covered with imitation
leather that looked like imitation
leather, which had a peephole in
the upper right-hand corner, and a
little lever on the right-hand side.
All you had to do to take a picture
was aim the peephole at the subject,
hold the black box steady for Sec
ond or two, and push down on the
little lever.
Three days later, giggling and
laughing, you came out Of the
drugstore with the developed prints
took them home and pasted them
in your album, being sure to write
in white ink, what the pictures
portrayed.
AS I write this. I have by my
side photo album Of my youth
The pictures are mounted on
heavy black paper and under
meath each one is an explanatory
caption. There is picture of my
sister Bess and a collie dog. To be
sure that posterity would know
what the picture was about the
caption says: "Bess and collie dog. u
Next to it is a picture of me in a
bathing suit (Jantzen) and under
meath it says, Henry in bathing
suit, May %, 1921"
I don't dare use the camera that I
got for Christmas. 1t now sits on
the mantelpiece, and if you don t
think it looks pretty, well, you
just haven't seen it. 1t has chro-
MUM eyes, stainless-steel ears, real
leather pants, and high blood pres
sure. A friend told me that I must
never touch it until 1t was eight
months old and Margaret Bourke
White put it on formula.
- Button, Button, Button.
I,never have taken a picture with
it, and never will, but I did play
with it the other day. Putting on
a hng-visored cap, and a dirty shirt,
which is the standard equipment OF
Life and Look photographers these
days, took it off the mantelpiece,
walked out in the yard, and started
undressing it. A button here, a
button there, and a button some
where else. After a while, I had it
in my hands. All alone, just the two
of us-the camera and McLemore.
1t started perspiring. The sun was
too hot. I took it in the shade. 1t
began to shiver. The shade was too
cold
A girl in a bathing suit walked
by. I aimed the camera at her.
It refused to take her pictule.
"Lissen," the Gamers said, "tak-
ing pictures of ordinary subjects
is thing of the past. All I'm in
terested in, and that goes for my
shutters, too, is taking the picture of
a professional photographer taking
a picture of another professional
photographer taking a picture of
an oil derrick against background
of weaving spiders"
What the camera was trying to
say was that it just isn't fun any,
more to take pictures. Too darn
much trouble.

One person who will not be wait

with hearts and flowers is the new
American Ambassador, Mr. Gardner.
Right now the British are worried
over the future of the American
economy. They have seen their
loan depreciate 80 per cent due to

what to expect of the once isola-
ZIONIST Republicans now in power.
Mr.. Gardner's job is to deal with

The combined loss of his cabinet
position and the Democratic defeat
at the polls, caused by labor's fail

that no correspondent, lazy or other

Extravagant figures are presented
concerning the costs Of information
services. One much quoted is STA
829,467. But that advance estimate,
furnished by the Budget Bureau to
Congress for 1946, included opera
tions far removed from what Is
really meant by press agentry. For
one thing, it included $50, 100000 to
be spent by the State Department in
foreign propaganda if Congress
should okay that purpose and that
amount. It included $11 100000 the
Treasury expected to spend in the
profitable business of selling bonds,
explaining the income tax and so on.
1t included the publicity expense of
the War Department in recruiting
volunteers for the Army.
It included the Department of
Agriculture's 100000 to "diffuse
among the people of the United
States useful information on sub
jects connected with agriculture, in
the most general and comprehensive
sense of that word" The quoted
language is that of the original act
of Congress creating the Depart
ment of Agriculture and stating its
chief purpose. ,.
Incident Recalled.
How passionately the people do
desire information and how proper
this function therefore is, is revealed
by the celebrated incident Of THE
Love Life of the Frog"
During the Hoover administra-
ton Democrat in Congress made
an attack on Government informa-
ton services. Ridiculing the work
of the bureaus, he referred to a
pamphlet which he alleged the
Agriculture Department had pre-
pared bearing that title. AS a
result the department received 600
requests for copies of the alleged
pamphlet. The department could
find no evidence that any such
Recommendation Of amphibian erotic-
ism ever had been produced. 1t did
discover, however, a pamphlet pre-
pared by the Bureau of Fisheries
for the benefit of persons COM
mercially interested in frogs legs
as food. One line related to the
frogs mating habits and multiplied
ton rate.
The Department put out a bull
letin, explaining that the Love Life
pamphlet was nonexistent. 1t there
upon received 1900 requests for the
nonexistent document. The Secre-
tary, Arthur M. Hyde, issued a per-
