fd Pe ao PE Cred ory . et -- a a tm Tr AM GORTL Larry let thd first ball pass and the second was a called strike. He scraped his feet in the dirt- and took a good grip on the stick. 'The ball + came floating up to the plate and he forgot" all. instructions and let. go. " He connected and the ball went sky- rocketing way past centre field and . Larry trotted in with a home run to his' credit. " Pop was furious, * "What did I tell you?" he demanded when Larry 'came in, "I couldn't--" Larry began, "You do as you are told! I think for this team, and orders are orders!" | That was all Pop had to say, but Larry -was fined and benched for a couple of days. The newspapers recorded Larry's insuborination with some glee and much serious comment. Doc Biers said that you couldn't keep the col- legiate grandstand play out of a fresh rookie's game unless you bang- ed his head in first. What would Pop Clark do wth ths seemingly brilliant but unreliable player? The Blues left Washington with only one game to their credit out of the three played. The writers said that the Blues were nving up to ex- pectations and it was going to be just another year of the Blues' base- ball performance. The uccidental winning of a few games had fallen ten years before. + No hope was held for the Blues in their coming game against the Bos- ton Indians at Boston. Terry went to Boston on the night train before the first game. He wanted to be there early and get the Jay of the land. He kad an early lunch and when he saw several of the players starting for the field, he decided to go out himself an1 watch the Indians warm up. He was «. oss- ing the lobby of the hotel when he spied Doyle sitting alone in one of the big armchairs in the lobby. He wasn't sure, but he thought Doyle had smiled at him in recognition, Curious, if true. He was inclined to go back, but could not be quite sure what Doyle's smile might mean, Did he smile in recognition or did the smile mean that Doyla was rather satisfied with the beating he had given Terry down at Tony's? Terry knew_ that Frances Clark and Sid Reynolds, the Brooklyn sports writer, would be coming in immediately anyhow. He had seen them in the dining-room; they were having dessert ani coffee when he left. i. ny "Terry lingered just inside the lobby until all the players had lest. The doorman gave them the prefer- ence, anyhow, and he had Jlenty of time. = "rom the corner of his eye he saw Frances and Reynolds pass Doyle with just a nod of recognition, Ten minutes later he wus on his way. His cab was racing along a sireet which had been deeply ditched for a sewer or some work of that sort. There was a great gaping nole on the right-hand side of the road. 'The brakes of the cab were jammed on sudden.y and for one sickening moment Te.ry felt the cab sway and then come tu a dead stop. There was a terrific traffic jam on ahead, with people running excitedly about. "Must have been an accident," the driver said and started backing up while Terry clung to the side of the car in terror as the rear wheels seem- ed to sag over the cdge of the a'tch. _The cab swung across the traffic and was blocked by oncoming cars. "Damn!" the driver exploded. "They've got me hemmed in now, boss. I can't get out!" "It may clear up in a minute," Terry suggested hopefully. > FOOTIE RIARI ARR ARRK "Naw. There's a wrecker, an am- bulance and a police car up there. Was you goin' to the game? Its only a couple of blocks away if you want to walk it." Terry paid his fare and started ahead. He reached a line of curious spectators who were watchmyg a wrecker lift a taxicab out of fhe ditch. Terry tried to press on, but was stopped by a husky policeman. Terry showed him his. newspaper card, . "Well, can't you tell a fellow what happened?" "Sure. A taxicab went into the ditch," "Anybody hurt?' the man neat to Terry asked. "Now, how would 1 know? An, I up there? You can see as much as I can. If your car ran into the ditch, don't you think maybe you would be hurt a little?" The crowd grinned at the cop's speech. Terry, with a momentary shiver as he remembered his own cab sway- ing to a halt beside the ditch, sidled along the line which the police were holding back. The cab wus pulled free from the ditch ana the horrible work of taking out the victims be- gun. The front of the car was badly smashed in, the top was pretred down over the driver's seat and the rides were buckled. They pulled the driver 'out first and then a blow- torch was used on the hinges of the door and the other occupants vere lifted out to the street. Terry looked at his watch. There was still plenty of time, but he hated being held up. Across the stre.d from the wreck a new building was going up. Terry worked his way Into the building, picking his steps care- fully so as to avoid falling into the cellar. In the rear of waat would be the first floor of the building, they were pouring the concrete floor. The workmen were all out on the street edge looking at the accident; that 1s, all but one of the workers, and Terry wondered why he, of all men, should show such a lax of interest. He was ramming something 'under the con- crete mixture and Terry supposed it wus one of the steel reinforcing rods which are used for that purpose. Terry's precarious path led him to- ward the solitary worker, who looked up startled when Te'g'y's step on a board dislodged something that clat- tered into the cellar below. "I'm not used to this," Terry said and grinned. "But it is the only way I can get round the police, I want to get to the game." ~ The. man said nothing, bent his head and went on smoothing the cement. Ior a moment Te.ry con- sidered and then went on. That max had seemed vaguely familiar. There was something about him and yet he was obviously an Italian; and to Terry all Italians of the slim, dark type with bushy brows looked alike. It was a corner building which he had crossed and he made the strect awhy from the accident, walked round the blcck and reached the field in about five minutes. (To. Be.

Lows of light cast by starlight f. .- icg through a prism -- they, had ulentified the element in the "vast dust clouds of the neojnlze f Orlon, une of the great star systems. The discovery was declared = by other astronomers to disprove fur: taer the old theory that the space between stars was completely empty, previously the elements calcium and #océum had been discovered between slurs, Some doubt has been cast on od measurements of star distances by the knowledge that dust exists 10 space, scientists hniding that it makes stars appear fainter and therefore at greater distances than they actually are. Offers Solution To Unemployment Doctor Suggests Men Go- To School Until Thirty SYDNEY, N.S.W. -- School till the age of 30 and marriage at b0 may be the design for living for the average man of the future, accord- ing to Dr. Edgar Booth, lecturer in physics at Sydney University. "Science has so arranged mat- ters," he says, "that grandather now stays on ard manages the business --and draws the manager's salary-- so tha: his grandson cannot afford to marry and his nephew cannot get employment. "We might decide later that grand- father, even if in private and not Government business, must go und play bowls or spend his time in mo- tor cycle racing, if he prefers it, at- ter reaching 60;.or we might decide that the future grandfather, having been promised .and by then, practic- ally guaranteed a healthy virile life to the age of 60, might equally be guaranteed a compulsory but pain- less departure from that existence at that age. - "There are obvious objections to this, particularly from grandfather, who controls the 'money ana, con sequently, the situation" ) Dr. Booth offered a suggestion for the solution of the problem in the production by. scientists of a tonic, or aiet, or perhaps a small operation that would make grandson content to be still a schoolboy at 33 and to] defer the responsibilities of marriage -until he is 50. .

Production of Wheat Down 73,000,000 Bushels -- PTORONTO.--World production of wheat in the 1936-87 season bids fair to be the smallest in 11 years, ac- cording to a semi-annual world wheat review contained in 'the Canadian Bark of Commerce's montly commer- cial letter, released recently, Including current estimates for the 8,481,000,000 bushels, or . 73,000,000 less than the 1935-36 harvest. The size of the northern hemis- crops 'is now fairly well established, 43 countries reporting a total of 2,- 971,000,000 buehels, as compared with 8,140,000,000 a year ago. This de- cline in output was the result, not of a reduced acreage, but of intense heat anu prolonged drought over the wheat belt of this continent and ex- cessive rainfall and rust in south. western Europe and North Africa. After a good start, the condition of Canadian and United States wheat this year deteriorates steadily in June and July drought proved dis- astrous to large sections, particularly in southern and western Saskatche- wan and southern Alberta, where the drought was the worst on record. Points to Women Still Worse Off Mrs. Roosevelt Seeks Aid For Rural Women NEW YORK ~-- Women of New York's least privileged groups were urged by Mrs, F. D.

'she had confined such addresses to more leisured ana wealthy groups. | Mrs, Roosevelt began by telling mothers about "rural slums" in West Virginia where no free clinic was available and a child had to have a tonsilitis operation in a garage. "I know you here in New York do not know much about farm con- ditions "' she said, "but they matter to you just as much as to any one because your children and the chil- dren from those farms are going to work together to make the United States of the future, i " "You women must educate your- of the country, and be ready. to. back up the Government's measures that effget the whole nation. | "You- here, of .course, are espec- ially interested in better housing, thing of the past it will be because everybody knows what he is talking about.

Cl ------ The farmer who is 'fortunate to own a woodlot will be cutting the fuelwood 'for the mext winter soon.

Trees whose removal will benefit - 5 future growing conditions should be selected for cutting. It: may take a few days longer to cut the wood, but | the farmer has spare time ana men may be hired cheaply during the - winter season. Often the fuelwood may be secured and the woodlot will be more valuable. : The following types of trees may be removed in an improvement cut- ting and they will yield a conmae: able amount 'of fuelwood. . Dead trees. : 2. Trees with partly dead tops. 8. Decayed trees and those im. fested with insects. - 4. Weed trees. Trees of the less valuable 'species should be removed from the wooga- lot. 3 6. Thinnings -- Second growtn stands require thinning, There is often stagnation trees are making satisfacrory growth, The removal of a percent- age of the trees will improve grow- ing conditions considerably. Trees of the I2ss valuable species, crooked ones, deaa trees and those infected with decay should be removed and the straight sound trees of the more valuable species are left to grow in- to valuable timber trees.
