CHICAGO, Jan. 2.—Faulkner Court Maston, president of the Victor Color and Varnish Co. of New York, was two weeks ago ‘regarded as the model of “‘close-fisted” type of business man. His sole extravagance was his contribu- tions to the First Presbyterian Church of his home city. ' He had been twice divorced because of his ideas of domes- tic economy. His ‘personal expenses aside. from his church contributions were supposed to be. less than $10 a Week, although his income was in. ex- cess of $8000 for the same _period. Today he is known to Chicago’s gay world as the best spender that eyer struck* the town. He has distributed $30,000 among those who came into con- fact with Kim’ by chance or design-—he does not care how they are mtroduced if they will “be gay” and take some: of his money. He has ‘been twice arrested and is under bond to await the action of the grand jury on one of his esca- another.

From the bottom of the ladder he had crept slowly and then with a bound to the top rung. The Velee of Pleasure.

American Gunboat to Arrive Monday ROME, Jan, 2.—The American gunboat Scorpion ‘vill arrive at Messina Monday, when her commander will place his ves-. sel at the disposal of the American embassy officials and the consular au- thorities for the assistance of Americans and the protection of their interests in Sicily. The Scorpion, like othey foreign ships, will also transport refugees from the affected districts, carry messages and co-operate in all possible ways with the authorities in the alleviation of dis- tress. If, meantime, the bodies. of Con- pul Cheney and his wife are found the Scorpion will transport them to Naples, whence they will be shipped to the United States.

His latest gift has been another $200,000. The Pontiff has never so much regret- ted the loss of the liberty he enjoyed as patriarch of Venice. Now is the time that he would like again to be free to pawn his pectoral cross for the bene- fit of suffering mankind. The following telegram, dated 8:45 p. m. Dec. 30, sent by William H. Bishop, the American Consul'at Palermo to the Associated Press, reached Rome early this morning: | “No news regarding: Arthur S. Cheney (American Consul at Messina).

Hach quarter has its body of them, divided so that no point in the town is without protection. A cordon of soldiers also surrounds the entire town, which -is al- most deserted. Only soldiers and sailors are to be séen there. The sufferings of persons still buried in the ruins of fallen buildings here, who are slowly dying from hunger, is awful to contemplate. Bodies have been found which bear mute testimony of the torture of the death which relieved their sufferings. Several persons’ have died gnawing at their hands and arms, évidently crazed Others had portions of shawls and particles of clothing in their mouths and ene weman had her teeth firmly fixed in the leg of a dead baby.

H SPRINGS, Va., Jan. 2.—Terror- stricken at what they believe to be threatened volcanic disturbances, many farmers in the neighborhood of Green Bank, a small town just across the line from this place in West Virginia, are preparing to leave their homes. It is reported that a crater has ap- peared in the side of one of the moun- tains, from which flames and sulphurous smoke are seen issuing day and night.

IS FINED $100 A TOOTH FOR BREAKING MOLARS OF MAN AT SOCCER FOOTBALL GAME Judge’ Charges Watchman Stiff Price After Telling How He Values His Own Teeth. One hundred dollars a tooth was the fine assessed Saturday by Judge Pol- lard against Vincent McCann, a pri- vate watchman, for striking William R. Walker at the New Year’s day soccer foetball game at Athletic Park. Walker showed the judge in court the places where three teeth had been broken off and said the watehman’s fist broke them. McCann was not in court to tell his side of the story. He was fined $300. Walker, who lives at 429A Lucky street, said he was talking to a mem- ber of the visiting Chicago soccer team, who was an old friend, when the watch- man told him to “get away.”’ Walker answered that he was back of the lines and the watchman, Walker testified, threw down his stick and struck Walker in the mouth. with his hand. The blow was so severe that Walker was carried away unconscious. ‘Let me see where your teeth were broken,” said Judge Pollard. Walker, whose lips were badly swallen, exhibitd his bruised and devastitated gums. “IT value my teeth at $600 each,” said Judge Pollard, “and I will not assume that yours are worth less than $100 each to you. So I will fine this absent de- fendant accordingly.”

Only one thing ever induced Mrs. Rog- ers to indulge in what she looked upon as prodigality and buy enough food. Love for her granddaughter, Miss Ce- leste McNamara, 18 years old, of 804 North Jefferson avenue, was all that could overcome her passionate hatred of spending. | Miss McNamara spent a part of her jtime with her grandmother and when he young woman was in the house there was oil for the lamps instead of candles, and there was plenty of food in the larder. But when the younger woman left the kerosene lamps were put out of the way and a lone candle furnished the only illumination. And the diet pre- pared by the old -woman for herself was, in the language of neighbors, “hardly enough for a canary.” . The old miser woman was alone in her home Friday afternoon. She was taken ill and tottered downstairs to G. L. Richie’s butcher shop on the first loor, asking that a doctor be summoned. Twenty minutes later her body was found on the stairs. $320 in Her Purse.

McNamara said that the old woman got $1000 insurance when her daughter, his wife, died two years ago. He said she also owned real estate worth about $3000 at Marble Hill. All but the ingurance, he said, came to the old woman through a settlement made with her husband at the time of the divorce suit, 7 years ago. The McNamara girls are Misses Ce- leste and Margaret, 14 years old. ‘Miss Celeste was the grandmother’s favor- ite, but there was no diminution of her affection for either of the girls whan she quarreled with their father and left his home about a year ago, moving to the three third-story rooms on Frank- lin avenue.

SAGER IN PRIVATE LIFE

Relinquishes the Office of Cir- cuit Attorney to Seebert G. Jones.

A fat man with curly hair entered the Third National Bank Butiding Saturday and got into an elevator, saying some- thing over to himself all the time. “Good morning, Judge,”’ said several men. But the fat man only bowed in an absent way, and kept repeating, just loud enough for the elevator boy to hear, “‘Your Honor. May it please the Court, and gentlemen of the jury.’ It was Judge Daniel G. Taylor, just. retired from the bench, and drilling him- seld in using the language which other lawyers have been using to him for the last six years. He is, beginning Saturday, a member of the firm of Mc- Donald & Taylor, with Jesse A. Mce- Donald, also a former Judge, as his partner. Precedence of names in the firm was determined by the toss of a coin, the loser winning. ' Rale Goes With Father-in-Law. Judge Virgil Rule, who has not been on the bench so long, alse found an of- fice berth awaiting him, with his name on the door; as a legal associate of his father-in-law, John D. Johnson, and Henry W. Allen, under the firm name of Johnson, Rule & Allen. Mr. John- son is attorney for the Waters-Pierce Oil Co. Judge Robert: M. Foster, the third man retiring from the Circult bench, was not in such a hurry to get back into practice. He will rest and trevel for six months or so, and when he comes back will open an office in the Pierce Building, where his son and namesake, now a law student, will eventually be his partner. The places of the three retiring judges, all Democrats, were taken by Hugo Grimm, George C. Hitchcock and Eu- gene McQuillin, all Republicans. Judge Charles °C. Bland, Who retires from the Court of Appeals, George D. Reynolds taking his place, will enter a partnership with his nephew, Theodoric R. «Bland, Police Commissioner, in the firm: of Bland, Bland & Cave. Cenfusion of Names Ends. The confusion in names between Judge Daniel G. Taylor and Judge Wilson A Taylor of the Court of Criminal Cor- rection is now ended by the retirement of the former, but a like confusion Is likely to arise between Judge George D. Reynolds of the Court of Appeals and Judge Matt G. Reyuolds of the Circuit Court. They are both in the Court- house. Circult Attorney Sager yielded his of- fice Saturday to his sucessor, Seebert G. Jories, and opened his office in the Third National Bank Building. Jones, after being sworn in, assigned his as- sistants. Henry Rosskopf was assigned to duty with the grand jury, C. A. Newton to Judge Fisher’s court, E. P. Griffin to Judge Shields’ court, L. C. Dyer to Judge Allen’s court, and C. E. Davis to the warrant office. C. EB. Davis, C. E. Cheney, H. 8. Stanton and E. W.

The man said he was Hd Tay- lor, 4 years old, of East St. Louis. “What is the lady's name?’ asked Mr. Winkler. ‘What lady you talkin’ about?’ “The lady you are going to marry.” “Look heah, white man,,I ain’t goin’ to marry no lady.’’ “Don’t you want a marriage license?’ “Marriage license nothin’.. I wants a license to preach.” He explained that he was a member of the Antioch Baptist Church at East St. Louis and had a pastor’s license, but the field of a pastor was too limited for He wanted to branch out and travel around and be an evangelist. And he wanted a license for it. He was told to look somewhere else for that kind. of a license.

Wad Morris swore he was present when Capt. Ranken was killed and recognized some of the defendants. Mrs. Morris, his wife, went on the stand yesterday and impeached her husband by swearing that he was at home the night Capt. Ranken was murdered. She left the stand pale and trembling, went into the corridor and sent for the At- torney-General. “T have done a great wrong,"’ she said. “I have told a He. My husband was not at home that..night. He was with the riders. ‘I was forced by my relatives to testify as I did. I want to see my hus- band.’”’ ' Asked to Leave Clty. Her brother-in-law tried to get her to léave the city with him, but the Attor- ney-Gereral ordered him away and took the trembling woman to her husband. They are people of few. words, these strange people of the Red Hills, and the meeting of the young husband and wife, separated since Oct. 20, was silent, but pathetic. For ten minutes they stood clasped in each other’s arms and not a word was spoken. .Then the wife said: “I am going to do the right thing, Wad,” The husband's only comment was et ft . Mrs. statement to the Attorney-General, which, doubtiess, will lead to several more indictments. The wife asked that she be not separated from her husband and the authorities consented. After a couple of alibi witnesses had been called this morning the Attorney- General asked that. Mrs. Morris be per- mitted to correct her testimony. JESSE FRENCH JR. IS SUED Man Arrested as.

Charles P. Taft, Theodore E. Burton, Joseph B. Foraker and William. H. Taft chose the Ohio Senator this year, announced their decision, got such comfort as they could out of it and turned their attention to other matters. The dispatches say that the action of the Legislature will be wholly - gehomscsd : _ CENTENNIALS OF 1909. . The year 1909 will be full of centennial celebra- tions. In this country the year 1809 was distin- guished by the birth of Abraham Lincoln, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Cyrus Hall McCormick and Edgar Allan Poe. In England Alfred Tennyson, Charles Darwin, William E. Gladstone and Eliza- beth Barrett Browning were born in that year. The work of McCormick and Darwin may be considered revolutionary. McCormick's name is connected with an advance in agricultural meth- ods greater than any since the discovery, by bar- barians in the lower status, that maize was a good food for man‘and beast and could be culti- vated systematically. Darwin turned science up- side down, compelled thinkers to take hew points of view on all subjects and , in the course of his work, more problems than science can well handle ina century. Tancold gave the death stroke to chattel slavery/ The emancipa- tion proclamation marked the end of a labor sys- tem which, dating from barbarism, had been de- clining for hundreds of years. The others named were distinguished charac- ters and contributed largely to all the good works of progress and the right understanding of life. If, out of the habitual thought of men, we take the wit, wisdom and imagination of Holmes, Poe, Tennyson and Mrs. Browning it would lose much of its salt, to say nothing of vigor. nz RESSIVE PLUTOCRACY.. ‘The now expressed in plutocratic circles, at Washington that:Congress in special session } ° next spring may have the audacity to amend the} tariff bill to be presented by the Ways and Means Committee.

The Terminal Association wishes to make 4 trade with the city. It needs in its business about 18 acres of streets, valued at more than $2,000,000. To acquire this property it proposes to make some improvements which ordinarily would be a charge upon the city at a cost of about $500,000. This does not look like a good bargain for the people, | but if it should be entered into and the Terminal should then repudiate its agreement, as has been its custom, it would be a confidence game of vast proportions. We have shown how the Terminal Trust has broken its promise on four occasions. ‘Here is another instance of bad faith: Ordinance No. 14078, which granted val- Bridge Terminal Railway (Co., contained a provision in section 6, limiting the switching charges on loaded cars handled over that road to $1 per car. The same section pro- vided that “whenever the net profits of the St. Louis Merchants’ Bridge Terminal Rail- way Co. shall in any one year exceed 8 per cent on the capital actually invested by said company, then the charges for switching, etc., aforesaid, shall immediately be reduced.” The testimony in the suit .of the United States against the Terminal Railroad shows the entire cost of the Merchants’ Bridge Ter- minal Batlway to have been not in excess of $3,500,000. The report of that railway. for the year ending June 30, 1906, as furnished by Poors Manual of Railways, shows its gross earnings to have been $1,773,299, its operating expenses $887,803, and its net earnings $885,496, or over 25 per cent net income on the capital actually invested in the road. And yet not only has the switching rate not been reduced below $1, as was agreed to when the ordinance was accepted on this condition, but the actual rates charged for switching on the road are far greater than $1. The Terminal’ Association does not keep its agreements with the people. Why enter into an- other one with it? ‘i i i i ~~ - BULLYING SCHOOL GIRLS.

No American will find pleas- ure in the fact that a Virginia gentleman has found it necessary in a personal letter to warn the President of the United States not to in- terfere with his daughter when she is riding on the highways near Washington, but that there seems to have been justification for this extraordi- nary communication is its most regrettable fea- ture. » In November Mr. Roosevelt angrily rebuked a party of school girls on horseback who ventured to ride past him in Rock Creek Park. In his violence he is said to have struck one of the young women with his whip and to have frightened her eer Now he is charged with rebuking a young rsewoman for “following” him and ordering her to'take a road which would have led her far from home. No doubt, in this ease the offender had the previous episode in mind and so in striving to escape one form of Rooseveltian displeasure she encountered another. Men reveal themselves in small things as well as in great. Mr. Roosevelt has been a bully in office. Of colirse he is a bully in the presence of ache eirls. | EXPERT TESTIMONY. - The ‘hypothetical question of 10,000 words to which the experts for the defense in the Hains case will answer “yes” or “no” will not enlighten the jury or aid their judgment. Whenever the question of insanity in a murder case is raised as many experts can be found to testify on one side as on the other. And all, being, on the whole, of equal credit, their answers cancel one another. Or if any effect is produced, it is to befuddle the jurors and make it more dif- ficult to reach a sound conclusion. The ends of justice would be served if the State had at ‘command a body of experts who. could be called into make an impartial, scientific examina- tion and state the facts and their conclusions, An expert called by the defense or by the prosecution is sure to testify in favor of the side which em- ploys him. If it were otherwise he would not be called. Needless to say, such testimony ig of doubtful value. A scientific exposition of the case by competent experts hav would, however, be of great value, and we may hope that at some time such a system may be de- vised.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Why should bells be rung at churches in order to summon those who feel that their souls need some- thing done for them? I am unfortunate enough to live near the corner of Newstead and Maryland, where church bells are rung in the morning be- tween 5 and 6 o’clock. The noise wakes me from my sleep, and why I should be discommoded for the supposed benefit of some one else i do not know. When I want to go to a theater I do not expect a bell to be rung in order to let me know that the play is about to begin. This ringing of church bells is a relic of the times when clocks and watches were few. Times have changed and the absurd practice should be stopped. If people feel that their souls need attention before 6 o'clock in the morning I should think they would get alarm clocks. . = Lack of Public Spirit. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. - Have the people of St. Louis lost all spirit and spunk that they do not resent the dreadful manner in which they are handled by the United Railways Co.?' Is there no law to compel them to run a suffi- cient number of cars to acocmmodate the people? At present there are about one-half the number re- quired to handle the crowds. If the Million Club would get busy and form an association called “The Citizens’ Welfare Club’ and look more to the interests of the people already in St. Louls, it would here, when we cannot take care of those we have. Why should people pay on the pay-as-you-enter cars when they cannot enter, but are forced to stand on the platform, owing to the great crowds? Let ‘some smart lawyer look into this and see if he cannot maké the United Railways come to time and con- sider the comfort of the people. MISS ADELAIDE PEARSON. “Rah for Piependeckel!” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. At last it has come out. I refer to Herr Waldemar Werth’s answer to Mr. Pipecover’s article in the Post-Dispatch. I would like to suggest to that fellow Pipecover that the proper thing for him ito do is to challenge Herr Werth, not according to the ancient code of obtaining satisfaction, but to the more mod- ern one, viz., in a 2%-foot ring. And I'll bet on Pipe- cover. Anyone having the’: nerve and audacity to proclaim himself the equal of Herr Waldemar Werth ought to be game enough to stand up, give and re- ceive punishment according to Marquis of Queens- berry rules. Of course, Herr Werth may refuse, con- sidering in beneath his dignity and a reflection upon his honor to meet one>of the plebeian class, but he! should know that the people.in this country don’t care a rap if he is a descendant of Gen. Werth or any other high muck-a-muck of the Old Country. I am of German parentage, of Mr. Pipecover’s caliber and, thank the Lord, an American citizen. My family find much amusement in Herr Werth’'s letter and in- tend to preserve it to show how seriously some peo- ple take ene. "Rah for Piependeckel, alias Pipecover. HENRY F. MILLER, Alias Mueller. No Work. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatcn. I was much interested in “Property Owner's” let- ter in Tuesday’s issue. I think before the Million Club seek to increase our population they ought to get work here at reasonable hours and at reason- able wages for people to do. I am a carpenter and have hunted the city over, but can find no work, and I know several of my friends, both union and non- union, are in the same fix. Not even labor work can be obtained, as foreigners and colored people mostly absorb that. The evil lies in the fact that our time and wage scale have not adjusted themselves to the economic conditions. Machinery is so power- ful that production is so rapid, that it more than overtakes the demand for products. We can only increase the demand by enabling the people to buy more and so enlarge the market. Some of my friends who are employed work so late they cannot spare time for an evening for church,’ lodge or social en- gagements. The hours ¢f labor and perhaps even the number of days per week, must be shortened and this will give more work for idle (involuntary idle) hands and heads te do. Some of my friends work too much while others just as capable have no work. Living must be cheapened and then all can work who will and those who will not should be treated as criminals, for they are such against no interest in the case itself | society. BR. W. Cleanliness and Affinities. fo the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. P In answer to the question, “Why do women turn to other men besides their husbands for love,” I submit the following, not as an excuse for such dis- loyalty, but as a possible reason why some women— not too finely balanced, perhaps—turn from their one-time ideal.

He may really love his wife, but he will not exert himself to keep that love and respect which he thought worth winning. Answer: Some other man does. Some man, perhaps, the husband's inferior in all other respects. He is not always regarded as f good ‘an “affinity.’’ Often merely a clean, wholesome com- sonic storey ¥ sd —_ financially’ panion. Or, at the worst, an object of that respect and affection which the husband no longer inspires, hor apparently values. Nearly all men manage to appear wholesome and lovable before marriage.

PROBLEM OF THE ANIMALS. Solutions From Post-Dispatch Readers of the Cow, Goat and Goose Problem Show 10NnS, Wide V

HE problem of the cow, goose and goat, which appeared in the Post- ,Dispatch yesterday, has aroused the mathematicians, and many attempt. ed solutions came to this office. The problem is as follows: A cow and goat can eat the contents of a pasture in 40 days; a cow and goose can eat it in 60 days; and 2 xoose and a goat can and the govse to eat it? ’ ent it in 00 days. How many, days will it requife the pat the goat by Some of the interesting attempts to solve the sbebiern are presented below: “Puzzie Editor Post-Dispatch. Since the cow and the goat eat the contents of the pasture in 40 days, they ~ eat 1:40 in 1 day. Since the co" nd the goose eat it in . @ days, they eat 1-60 in 1 day. Since th cose and.the goat eat it in 90 Gays they eat 1-90 in 1 day. 1-40 pus 1-00 plus 1-9 equals 19-360, ss twice the amount all eat in 1 day. Hence in 1 day all cat %& of” 19-360, which equals 19-72. * Since they © ~ve 720-720 to eat, it will . taxe them as long as‘ 19-720 is contained * 720-720, which is 37 17-19 days. _ Therefore, a ‘will take all of them : “take each, we bers the following: _ 19-720 minus 1-40 equals 1-720 the goose et OA. divided by. 1-720 equals 720 days b would take the goose. — 1-60 edinis 7-720 the goat acon earthcs bv qt punele 102 6-7 weit ~uld take the go 5 Ss cow and goat cna p 40 days, they eat 1-40 kt

A Twelfth-Night Party. sixth of January lends itself for merriment and gaiety out of the usual’ order, and certainly nothing could be so unique or furnish more real pleasure than an evening en masque,’’ says Woman’s Home Com- panion. ty “After all the guests have arrived, at a signal merry bells are | singled, the music starts, and all fall in line and march around the room, swinging hands in a circle; at another signal they arrange themselves about the table, on which reposes the wonderful ‘Twelfth Night Cake of Mystery.’ The cake is always placed on a thick mat of holly, with 12 Nghted candles arranged around it on the table, the shades of which carry out the special color scheme select- ed. Over the cake swings a large cotton bell, containing a small metal bell; the hostess rings this to signify that the cake is ready to be cut. Each guest cuts a slice; he who gets the one containing a pea is made king, and the one finding a bean becomes queen. “The monarchs are crowned with mu ch ceremony, and together they lead the dance or games of the evening and preside at the head of the festive board.

animals would require at 90 days, which is obviously wrong, 48 the goat and goose could eat all the grass in that time without the cow's 4gsistance. Louise Senn, 8404 South Broadway, makes the period 9% days, Oswald R. Bielig says the three ani- mals could eat the gras@ in 37 17-19 days.

Emma Brumbach, 5035 Shaw avenue, arrives at 8 days as the answer. Jennie Price, 7101 Robbins avenue, St. Louis County, says 37 17-19 days is the answer. Joe Schaefer, 4630 McKissock avenue, could not pursue the problem beyond as- certaining that the cow would need 48 days, the goat % days and the goose 117 days. Lawrence W.

Frank Berg, 1731 Chouteau avenue, says 4 days 1 hour 15 minutes 47 7-19 seconds are necessary for the combined animals. 3 Fred W. Illgner allows the animais only one day. 1

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. NCREDIBLE = as i: may .om, Fielder Jones; ‘the successful manager of the Chicago white Sox, “gavoentes! ‘the playing of poker on his team. He | actually declared one day last summer that poker playing was good for | baseball players. But he put this restriction on it, and it is the restriction | ‘that makes it bearable: Nothing but a 10-cent limit game should be allowed. If one were to travel from Chicago | to New York with the Chicago White Sox, he would see a poker game going en all through the day and up to 1 o'clock in the ,evening. If one should drop into a hotel any rainy day in any city of the cirquit where the White Sox @re stopping, there he will find the boys gathered about a table-in one of the rooms playing their regular little friendly game of 10-cent limit. The 10- @ent limit game seems to be a part of tm he of the “White: Box: trom Marth _% October. ’ Can it be possible that the little game has something to do with the success of the White Sox: If so, it might be well for all baseball managers to inaugurate a poker game as soon as the spring training trip begins next spring and see that all players partake in the pastime during the trying months of summer, And those are trying montis too, and that is the main reason why Fielder Jones advocates poker. He sincerely believes that the fascinating little game

He knows the boys all draw big enough salaries so that the loss or gain of something like one to three dollars in a poker game is going to be of no con-. all the time) sequence whatever. Yet that player is sitting in the game his mind is away from the ballfield. He plays the cards with t as much en- thnusiasm as though he had his home and clothes at stake: By allowing poker on the bal) club, Jones declares his players are more eas- }ily controlied. They .tay in at nights instead’of wandering about the streets. ‘Jones himself is nearly always in the game, At ll o’clock he makes everyone cash in. He neyer permits the boys to s ‘the game to 2% cents. He makes it merely &@ pastime and not a game for _ McAleer Takes a Hand, Too, and His Players Are Fond of the Game ™ Browns, agrees with Jones’ theory. The Browns often have a 1i10-cent game going on those long jumps from St. Louis ‘to Boston. But McAleer is rae McALEER, manager of the @lso strict and makes the players put’ thé cards away at 11 o’clock.. He sees the good of the game when played as diversion and the evil when big stakes are up. . "Coming from Boston to St. Louie, | efter the second invasion of the Bast jast summer, the Browns were playing Aleer was sitting in the game ant was Lioyd Rickart, secretary of the club. _Barney Pelty was another player and Barney is considered one of the smartest fellows of the club at the game.

That was his poker money, and was not to be used for any other purpose. Any money he won at the game he put In that same vest pocket, and _— he returned to Chicago he checked up. | If there was more than $5 in the pocket, the profit went in the savings banie for his young son, now 2 years old. If the five was lost before the trip was over, Bill would charge the loss to himself ‘and draw another five from his wallet ‘Hyde Park Blues’ forward line was too to put.in his poker pocket. Of course, it is easy to see where poker can be dangerous for baseball players.

The White Sox have had but one ‘disastrous. year since the American League was Organized. Field- ér Jones was not manager-then.. The team finished in seventh place.

SOCCER TEAMS DIVIDE HONORS | WITH CHICAGO » r

St. Louis and Chicago soccer elevens broke even in their games yesterday, one game going to the Windy City kick- ers, while the local men were the vic- tors in the other. Games will be played this afternoen, both at Kulage and Ath- letic Park and also tomorrow afternoon. The fast St. Leos did the unexpected when they defeated Joe Davis’ Chicago All-Stars 3 to 1. Davis has a picked team that is composed of the strongest players in Chicago. The St. Leos scored two goals on their opponents and in the second half got an- other tally. ‘‘Butch’’ Ammans, the St. Leos’ aggressive forward, scored two goals for his team. The game was a fast one from start to finish. Only good work on the part of Goalkeeper Jack Tully kept the Chicagos from scoring on Several occasions. Tallman was the only Chicago man who was able to boot the leather past Tully. This afternoon the West Ends will play the All-Stars at Athletic Park. The defeat of the All-Stars by the St. Leos has given the West Ends confi- dence and the team is hopeful of a vic- At Kulage Park the fast work of the much for the New Tariffs, and the Hyde Parks won, 4 to 1. The New Tariffs put up a better game than the score would indicate. The team had the ball in the Hyde Parks’ territory time after time, but the inaccurate shooting of the New Tariffs proved costly. A picked team from the Kulage Park League will oppose the Hyde Park Blues at Kulage Park this afternoon. It is planned to start both of the games this afternoon at 2:30. Pe ei a BIEL VICTOR IN RACE: EXLEBEN A. CLOSE SECOND J. J. Exleben competing unattached made an excellent showing in the 6%- mile cross city run, held under the auspices of the Catholic Club, yester- day. Exleben finished second to Ir- win Biel of, the Central ¥. M. C. A. Exleben, who is a heavily built man, set the pace from the start until about 300 yards from the finish, where Biel started a sprint and won by about 15 yards. The time was 43m. 45s. Ex- leben was comparatively fresh at the finish and in future Marathon races should make a good showing. He has competed before, but yesterday was the first time that he showed good form, | Biel was the favorite to win. The little Y. M. C, A. runner seems the best man in the ‘city at present in a long run with the exception of Joe Forshaw and Frank Jackson. For- shaw did not compete yesterday, but it is doubtful if he would have been able to keep up with the hot pace set by Exleben. Jackson is now in Co- lumbia, Mo,

ECKERSALL'S TOE | STILL HAS OLD | TIME CUNNING ea —

Walter Eckersall, by ahing rare judg- ment and displaying wonderful ability as a drop-kicker, for which he is fa- mous, made it possible for his all-star eleven from Chicago to defeat the St. Louis All-Stars in the game played at the Coliseum, 12 to 4. The field was not much over 60 yards in length. The regulation field is 110 yards. When punting or kicking off, Eckersall saw that his best plan was to boot the leather back of the St. Louis goal line. yer of the short field, the St. Louis team could not kick out from the 2-yard line, but from their own 65-yard tine. The Chicago center was always sent forward to bother Francis Cayou, who was kicking for St. Louis, and as a result the kicks did not carry much over 40 yards. The Chicago men would then try for gains by straight football, and, failing, Eck- ersall would boot the ball for the goal on a drop kick. In the first half Ecker- sall kicked three goals from the field. In the second half he missed several goals, while Cayou booted the leather over the bar from about the 25-yard line. On straight football the teams were fairly evenly matched. - rhe, St. Louls eleven was much weaker than originally intended, because Brad Robinson, Clar-. ence Kenny, George Schumacher and Henry Lindsey failed to get into the game, the latter two because the fac- ulty of St. Louis University forbade their taking part in the game, while the rea- son for Kenney and Robinson not play- ing could not be ascertained. Weddell a Surprise. ‘Rube’ Waddell played at right guard for the St. Louis team. In the first half the “‘Rube” was the biggest sur- prise of the entire game. His defensive playing was great. He was in on every play. The Chicazo men, after making Waddell take out time on several occa- sions, finally knocked the wind out of him, after which ‘Rube’ was willing to drop out of the game. Edwin Stanard, the former Princeton player, put up a star game for the St. Louis team at tackié. The way the big fellow plunged through the Chicago /Jine, run down the field on punts and tackled was a revelation. Sianard, too, received many hard knocks during the game, but kept to his work in fine style. It was easily seen why he was a star at col- lege. The narrow and short field did not give the players room to make any sen- sational gains. The forward pass was tried by both teams, but proved a fail- ure every time to St. Louis, while Chi- cago made good but twice with it. While the field was slow, it was much better than was generally expected. A big crowd witnessed the game, some estimates placing the number present as ‘high as 5000. There is talk of a return game between the teams to be played in the Coiiseum on Washington’ s birthday, Feb. 22. SMALLWOOD CONFIDENT HE WILL BEAT DORANDO HERE Percy Smallwood, the Welsh champion long-distance runner, who defeated the Indian, Tom Longboat, in a 10-mile race not long ago, arrived yesterday for his match Marathon race with Dorande Pietri, the Italian, to be decided in the Coliseum on the evening of Jan. 11. Smallwood is confident that he will de- feat the Italian. Dorando is the man who finished first in the Olympic Mara- thon race at London, but was disquali- fied. Dorando later defeated Johnny Hayes, winner of the race, in a race over the Marathon distance in New York, only to lose a special Marathon race to Tom Longboat, tho Indian, a short time gigas a HEDGES BACK; BROWNS TO TRAIN AT SPRINGS AGAIN President R.

Sig Kinlech, Central 88, 90, 01, 3416.- Don't Try to Run Away Mo. from the influence of the Want Ad. No form of advertising in recent years has | 3 3 SOSSSSOSCSCSOSOYSS 2 been more productive of definite results. Why? Because the public has come to realize the full value of time and|@ money. It used to be when one had anything to exchange, a whole day or perhaps M weeks were spent hunting somebody who wanted to “swap.” It used to be that you had to ask every one in your employ if they knew where you could find additional employes. And when you had a house, farm or lot to sell the news was sdeulated * word of mouth. The old-fashioned methed took time. It’s different now. With the enormous circulation § of- the Post-Dispateh the news of whatever you may want will reach one hundred times a8 man) people in one day as you used to reach in two weeks. And it takes only a few minutes of your time to prepare the ad and a few cents for its insertion in the classified columns. Results? Yes, and quickly—the next day. A glance at the Want Ads will show that others are already deriving : much benefit From Want-Ad Results ee ee i ceeeeeeneneentnnnnnniaea tiene SITUATIONS WAN | CARTE .D—-MALE, . : fri it-class sg chet ub.

Why Strict~* Dieting Is Often Harmful Our Systems Demand Variety as Well as Quantity of Food.

DIETING STARVES US. Dieting Debilitates Entire Body and Eventually Leads to

Chronic Constipation. Three reasons Have recently been ad- vanced in support of the' belief that dieting is harmful: First, the digestive system employs a separate agent for the digestion of proteids, fats and starches. While normally these are all in constant use, in dieting some of them are necessari- ly idle. Nevertheless, they are se- creted as usual for presence gives rising finable - “gnawing” “something’’-—you know not what. This gnawing or “empty” stomach is @ sign of partial starvation, and should be appeased, If not stimulated the to that inde- glands which secret unused juices dry’ up in the course of time; with the nsequence that it is difficult to get them working properly again. In the a place, after the food has been prepared for assimilation by the digestive process. and taken into the lymphatic system, the muscles, the bones, tlie brain, the. "‘blood—each de- miands its ‘special’ nutriment. The muscles demand. proteids; the blood, iron; the bones, lime; the brain, phos- phate—no one food or class of foods can supply them all. It takes a well- rounded diet to supply the human body and keep it in normal condition, since an insufficiency ef any one food element means starvation for the bodily iia and functions dependent upon i Again, for the thitd reason, dieting causes consti a fin this way. The bowels are formed; to reapond.t6 a normal quantity a Waste. They are

accustomed to react to a given ‘quan- tity of unassimilated niatter. The rea- son why graham bread often affords relief from constipation is that it con- tains a large amount. of fibrous mate- rial which is_not digested in the stom- ach, but passes into the intestines and in @ measure tivity. A person .on a restricted dict does not provide his intestines with a sufficent quantity of. such matter. Consequently the waste remains in the intestines to ferment, putrify and be- come genuinely poisonous, tis. Variety of diet overcomes this, and constitutes the only cure for chronic constipation. On the other hand, for many people

Owing to a very pressing profession- al engagement in the East, Mr. Gwilym Miles cannot appear at the Pop con- cert Jan. 3 as scheduled. However, on his return te St. Louis the Pop concert frequenters will have the pleasure of hearing him. “Hail, Bright Abode,” from ‘“Tann- hauser,’’ will be the opening number on the program for next Sunday. Then follows the ever-pleasing overture to ‘*‘Martha”’’ by Flotow. Edward F. Orchard, basso, will sing instead of Gwilym Miles... Mr. Orchard has selected for his first number, ‘‘Who Treads the Path of-Duty’”’ from “The Magic Flute,” and a@ group of three songs by George Henschel. Tschaikowsky’s overture “1812,” was written at the height of his career. He was commissioned to write an appropri- ate piece of music commemorating the evacuation of Moscow by the French in 1812—hence the title. This overturs will be a feature of the program. Two graceful dainty, numbers, ‘“‘Serc- nade,” by. Pierne, and “Pizzicati,” by Desormes, follow, and the greatest of all waltzes, “On th¢: Beautiful Blue Danube,” closes the Céncert.
