WEATHER BIRD GETS EGG BY MAIL Printed Saturday Comes Fro -’ William Wolff. The Pem-Dispatch Weather Bird received a fresh egg by mail Tuesday, 24 hours before the parcel post law went into effect. This was a direct and surprising response to the bird's request, printed last Saturday, when it said: “Won'tesomebody mail mea fresh egg?’ William’ Wolff of Belleville, Rural Delivery Route No. 3, got his Post- Dispatch Saturday afternoon and, like thousands of other subscribers, the first thing he looked for was “what the bird said.” Then he kept a close watch on this poultry shed. Not many eggs are being laid these midwinter days and it was not until Sunday afternaon that Wolff's vigilance was rewarded by a cackle, He hurried to the henhouse and got the egg. On it he wrote in lead pencil: “I read in the Post-Dispatch you wanted somebody to mail you an egg. A Happy New Year.” After adding his name and address he al- tered a cigar box to fit the egg and mailed it to the Weather Bird, who | received it with great delight. TO FLASH NEW YEAR GREETING TO PARIS Navy's New Wireless Mast Has Caught Signal From Eiffel Tower, 3900 Miles Away. CHICAGO, Dec. 31.—The Navy De- partment’s great new wireless tower near Arlington, Va., has succeeded in catching the time signal from the Eiffel Tower in Paris, a distance of nearly ' 3900 miles, according to in- formation given out at the Navy De- partment here today. | The fact became known in connec- tion with the plans being made to at- tempt to reach the Eiffel Tower and other stations throughout the world at midnight to flash a “New Year’s greeting.” Navy Department officials are hopeful that the Arlington Tower can flash its message to the Eiffel Tower tonight, because the American tower operates a “high-power station.” The French station has been notified to watch for the New. Year signal. 1000 BRICKS HANDED TO THE PARCEL POST CLERK Postmaster and His Force at Gary Have Sore Arms From

MeClory, acting secretary of the union, who are the only officials of the International Union out of jail, were present to see the train off. As the prisoners left the jail, Mc- Clory and Lewis tried to shake hands with Frank M. Ryan, president of the union, but. were prevented by the guards, Men Cheer Weepi Wives. Strung along the sidewalk were wives and friends of the convicted men. The husbands lifted their hats to their wives and told the mto be of good cheer, and to wait patiently the expiration of their terms. The women cried uninterrupt- edly. As the lin: of prisoners passed along the wall of the jail, prisoners broke out in shouts of farewell that could be heard on the sidewalk. The crowds that watched the melan- choly procession were quiet. Those who had friends among the convicted men greeted them and exchanged words of comfort.

Sixteen of, the prisoners, with their guards, occu- pied the first coach and 17 the second.

When Miss Ann Drew's scheduled dancing partner failed to arrive at the suffrage vaudeville performance given by the Clayton Equal Suffrage League in Oncken's Halil, Monday night, Dwight F. Davis, Park Commissioner of St. Louis, was summoned from the Country Club and took the missing partner’s place. Davis, who is of athietic build, proved himself a worthy partner in agility and grace for Miss Drew, whose petite form and bird-like motion made her dancing a hit of the “‘Cinderella’’ production at the Odeon last week. They danced the tango, introducing the artistic whirl which takes the feet of the danseuse far off the floor, and which Miss Drew performed with Clar- ence King’s aid in “Cinderella.” The proceeds of the entertainment ary» to be offered to a fund to pay the e«« ypenses of women who will urge suf- frage at Jefferson City during the se«- sion of the Legislature.

Merrymakers on the Merchants’ Ex- change sped the passing of the old year with a rattle and a rush at the annual “rough-house”’ session Tuesday. Two dozen footballs. a wagon load of confetti and 6000 serpentine rolls had been provided. The fun lasted from 12 to 1 o'clock, and five minutes after the gong started the frolic the hall seemed dressed with the first confetti snow- storm of the season. Secretary Eugene the frolic by having all the elegtric light clusters removed from the hall. The cash grain tables also were piled in a heap to afford room for the fun- makers. Families Smith anticipated of members viewed the sport from the galleries. About 30 Inembers and employes of the Ex- change took part In the celebration.

3 OTHERS IN FAMILY BADLY HURT IN FIRE Lad Dies in Flight, His Mother and Stepsister Are Probably Fatally ‘Injured. Elmer Gould, 7 years old, was burned to death; and his mother, Mrs. Mary Black; his. stepfather, John Black, and his half-sister,, Florence Black, 1-year- old, were seriously burned when their home at 8706 Vulcan avenue was de- stroyed by fire Tuesday morning. Black started the blaze by pouring gasoline, instead of coal oil, into the kitchen stove. Florence was saved by William Un- derwood of 8711 Vulcan avenue, who was burned in wheeling her out of the flames in her buggy. The boy was burned to death trying to escape. Re- covery of Mrs. Black and Florence is doubtful. The family lived in a two-room frame house. Black, who ig a fi » em- ployed at night at the city dock, ar- rived home about 7 o’clock and started a fire in the kitchen stove. To make it burn faster he took up a can, which he thought contained kerosene, and poured a quantity of the fluid on the flames. It was gasoline and the can exploded. Neighbors Beat Out Biase. With his clothing ablaze, Black ran into the yard. Underwood and his sons, Montie and John, 16 and 19 years old, heard the explosion and Black's cries for help and ran from their home to him and beat out the flames. Underwood brolwe in the front door and found Mrs. Biack lying against it, where she had fallen in trying to so cn his nands and knees and found the The clothing of both Mrs. and the baby was burning and Under- wood and his sons put out the flames. Montie Underwood, knowing that El- mer Gould usually slept on an old dry goods box beneath the Window in the front room of the house, shattered the giass with his fist and stuck his arm

A chemical examination of a plece of silk from the hem of the garment showed it had been staine!i with human biood and had been washed with a strong chemical solt:- That Dr. Knabe and Dr. Craig haa been friendly and that Dr. Craig had given her a place as lecturer in the veterinary —— was stated in the report of the detective agency which worked up the case. It was also de: clared that the two had had a vio- lent quarrel on the Sunday preced- ing the murder of the woman on Tuesday. Numerous automobile rides by the couple also are mentioned in the report. The indictment is the outcome of | the work of several women of India- napolis who raised $2500 as a reward for the conviction of the murderer. This action wag taken after the po- lice had declared Dr, Knabe met death by her own hand. Body Found by Assistant. Dr. Knabe’s nude body was found on her bed in her apartment, with her throat cut almost from ear to ear, on the morning of Oct. 24. The discovery wag made by the office assistant, Miss Katherine McPherson, who went te work shortly after 8 a. m. The next person to arrive was Miss Augusta Knabe, the cousin, and these two were alone with the body until physicians, acquaintances of Dr. Knabe, the police and Coroner arrived. The police complained bitterly of this, but all efforts to break down the statements of the women that they had seen no knife and had removed no evi- dence were unavalling. The body was on top of the bedding and a stained pillow was found on the chest and part of the abdomen. It later was pulled down by one of the first witnesses, The bedding was carried toward the head of the bed. The woman's head was thrown well back and was pinioned un- der the cross iron at the head of the bed,

The wound, which was deep. was in-

flicted while the body was in a re- cumbent position. This was regarded as proof of murder. A chair near the head of the bed held the clean clothing the woman ex- pected to don the next day and it was undisturbed. Witnesses Testify of Screams. Three persons testified they heard sharp screams from the directions «f the apartment of Dr. Knabe about mid- night on the night in question, and Jef- ferson Haynes, the janitor at the apart- ment house, swore that after the acreams he heard walking and talking lin the Knabe apartment.

An investigation of the financial oper- ations of the Mast St. Louis municipal administration will be demanded at a forthcoming , seting of the City Coun- cil, probably shortly after Jan. 1. Several Councilmen, headed by Leon Priwer, have interested themselves in a movement to offer a resolution the pur- pose of which will be to employ expert accountants to audit the city payrolls for the last two years and the books kept by the administration, which show the various revenues and expenditures 5 etn 3 EL EE EL TIES: NY SIS TT RE RE —— — ——— RE NN — — — EF PAGE “ARMYON ARRIVING AT ALBANY, we “MA RCHER WHO BECAME ENGAGED ON THE way|' OR 6 — eta ns —_ — i ws i apt — — * se * Se ae te a 4 I — * * the future. i. — of a repairer who will not “amounted to $5500 above his salary, of the departments under Mayor Lam- bert, The fact that John J.

Following the revelations first ‘printed in the Post-Dispatch that Bast St. Louls was in a bankrupt condition and that city employes for several months had been receiving anticipation warrants in lieu of monthly wages, the warrants bring- ing only 76 cents on the dollar; a few Councilmen decided that expenditures on the--part of the administration should be looked into. These Councilmen declare Mayor Lambeft’s administration, which ends March 31, 1913, has been the most ex- pensive Hast St. Louis has ever had. To relieve the financial embar- rassment of the city employes suf- ficiently to enable them to spend a Merry Christmas, several business men of East St. Louis signed a note on which the administration was able to borrow enough money to give out cazth for December. Tradesmen, who have been honor- ing the warrants at 75 per cent of their face value, say they have done so at the risk of being unable to re- deem them, because of the fact that they have been issued in excess of the amount provided for by law. One Man Holds Three Jobs, Faulkner, who occupies the unique position of holding three offices and } gpometimeg four, under the Lambert administration, draws in salary of more than $4500 a year, while the ex- pense of maintaining one of his de- partments during the last fiscal year was $5500.

Promoted by St. Louisans. The Tennessee Central Railroad was promoted by St. Louisans, principal among which were the late J. C. Van Blarcom, president of the National Bank of Commerce; Henry 8. Priest, Henry Clay Pierce and Eben Richards. The railroad is 275 miles iy length, with a branch line of 40.44 miles and 5.92 miles of terminals in Nashville.

The company has been unable to pay either interest or principal on the bonds, and the surety company and other bondholders then en- gaged attorneys to file a receivership suit. The petition was. prepared several months ago and placed tn the hands of Nabhville lawyers to be filed in the United States District Court in the event a satisfactory settlement was not made. Nashville Voted $1,000,000, The City of Nashville voted bonds to the amount of $1,000,000 to aid in building the railroad. The St. Louis promoters are said to have lost muh i money in the enterprise. Among the accounts charged off by the National Bank of Commerce, in its recent clean up, were loans aggregating about $1,500,- 000 on account of this deal. An investigation of the affairs of the Tennessee Central was begun by bond- holders in St. Louis and elsewhere sev- e months ago, and there had been a systematic effort to learn what be- came of the $1,000,000 in bonds voted .v the City of Nashville.

Kinsey was en- his plans and drawings. The anti-administration faction of the committee has caused to be adopted a resolution demanding the repeal of the legislation authorizing the construction of the Reber approach. It has also demanded the repeal of the Southern Traction franchise. If Kinsey is nominated as the Re- publican candidate for President of the of the Reber approach probably will te made an issue of the campaign. As Kinsey is known to favor the north- east approach, it is likely that the Re- unless Gerhart himself should be nom- inated as the candidate of the Progres- sive and Socialist parties. The Engineers’ Club of St. Louis, com- prised of the leading engineers of the city, investigated the bridge approaches available on the east,gside and recom- mended the Reber approach as the most practical and feasible. The club un- sparingly condemned the Gerhart 4ap- proach as impracticable and impossible. The campaign for Kinsey for. Presi- dent of the Board of Public Improve- ments is regarded by the administration leaders as an effort to get the bridge project into politics. No One Picked for Mayor.

WILSON VISITORS OPPOSE STAND-PAT “SENATE MEMBERS Lea and Hughes, After Call,*De- clare Against Seniority Plan on Chairmanships.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. TRENTON, N. J., Dec. 31.—‘‘Is Wood- row Wilson preparing to begin warfare on the reactionaries of his own party in the United State Senate?’’ That is the question which politicians are asking at the State House, after the President-elect conferred with Sen- ators. George’ L. Chamberlain of Oregon, John Sharpe Williams of Mis- sissippi, Luke Lea of Tennessee and New Jersey. In addition to these he Senator-elect William 8S. Hughes of conferred with Col. J. Hamilton Lewis, primary nominee for Senator from Il- linois and other Democrats. Following their talk with the Presi- dent-elect, Senator Lea and Senator- elect Hughes went om),record as fav- oring a program of dethroning from leadership the Democratic stand-patters who are in line for succession to the chairmanships now held by the Repub- lican Meutenafits of Aldrich and Crane. Seniority Rule to Come Up. Asked if he considered the make-up of the Senate committees in the new Congress according to the seniority rule would lead to the promotion of Dem- ocratic reactionaries, Senator Lea said: “It is a serious question, and is one of the most important things that we must taka hold of at the outset.” Do you consider the system, intrench- ed, as it is, by precedent, can be broken ?’’ “Didn't the House find a way to break it?” was his question in reply Two Oregon Democrats, Will R. King = lant J. N. Teal, were boosted by Sena- tor Chamberlain for the secretaryship of the interior. Col. J. Hamilton’ Lewis, whois going to have a hard fight In Illinois to win the senatorship, made this’ statement when he came from the Governor's of- fice: “I pointed out to Gov. Wilson that two Democratic Senators could be elect- ed in Illinois by the addition of six Progressive votes in the House and one in the Senate. I also called nis attention to the necessity of Illinois being represented in the cabinet. I in- timated to the Governor that it would not be out of place to have it openly understood that patriotic men who would give to him the support of two Senators would be regarded as worthy of proper reward and recognition in the distribution of minority patronage.” Silent on Lewis’ Suggestion. When Gov. Wilson was told of the patronage suggestion of Col. Lewis, he said: — “I learned that he had made that statement after he left. I have no com- ment to make.” Before leaving for Princeton the Pres- ident-elect told of the mission of his political visitors of the day. He said Granted Insurance My After Lung Trouble There are 80 Many cases of Cons tion reported where the details chow the disease started with a cold or a cough, that it is really surprising that people aro not more anxious to immediately stop these apparentiy minor Our 2* is “stop the cough or cold.

situation with Representative William C. Redfield of Brooklyn. ‘‘And,”’ the Governor added, ‘‘we discussed nothing else,.”’ He was asked if the names of Red- field and James J. Hill had been sug- gested to him as cabinet eligibles. “I dare say they have,” he replied. “Nearly everybody's name has been sug- gested.”’ Speaking of the visit of Senator Lea, he said: “We talked Tennessee politics. Down there the situation is so complicated that you must hear from the State every 24 hours, to keep posted on what is going on.”’ Senator-elect Hughes, the Governor said, came to discuss New Jersey af- fairs. Representative Slayden of Tex- as, who is a member of the House Com- mittee on Military Affairs, came with Oswald G. Villard of New York. Army Bills Explained. “He wanted to talk with me,’’ said the Governor, “about the army reorganiza- tion bills and explain their full sig- nificance.’’ Oscar W. Underwood, the majority leader in the House, will make the pil- grimage to Trenton today to confer with President-Elect Wilson on tariff revis- ion and other legislation for the extra that he had talked over the Philippine | | senaton of Congress. It is also thought that they will discuss the personnel of the cabinet.

Two of the most important links in the child welfare chain which the spirit of progress is up- holding, are the Juvenile Coprt and probation System. Now, a juvenile court cannot be main- tained without the thorough co-operation of ef- ficient probation officers, and a system of pro- bation for juvenile offenders is badly handicap- ped when the Judge, upon whom 80 much depends, cannot or does not, through, or from any cause, devote his full time and attention to this most vital department of the judiciary. It would seem that the time is ripe for a de- mand for the election of a man who has been trained in and for juvenile work, for the posi- tion of Judge of the Juvenile Court. BENTON CORWIN.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The writer has been on the ground bounded by King’s highway, Terry, Euclid and Spalding ave- nues. This beautiful tract of land is being sug- gested for a city park. It comprises 22 acres. It/ is in the northwestern part of the eity. It has a number of grown trees, priceless in themselves. Is already graded. It is a vacant piece of proper- | ty with only three old houses. There ts a sign on the southwest corner offering it for sale. No dcubt this land is available at a small cost now. This section is building up fast surrounding this beautiful spot. The Park Commissioner should meke a trip over this land and sée for hiniself what a bargain this is for the —* because there is no other park near., The writer attended one of the meetings of the Kuclid Park Improvement Association, last Thurs- day. The presiding officer appointed éight com- mittees to circulate & petition in their district and canvass it for the names and addresses of all the veters for the purpose of requesting the Municipal | Assembly to purchase the 22 acres of land for park Purposes. The committee will canvass between Taylor, Easton, Union and Natural] Bridge road for the voters’ signatures on this petition. The ma- jorityof those who have been approached seem to be in favor of the park. And there fs no doubt about getting enough signatures. a HH Pp, puissance and pulchritude.

The Post-Dispatch has kept its pledge to labor for the improvements by urging the completion o* all work within the power of the city under the present charter and the amending of the old charter, The City Plan Commission has found that the larger plans, such as the central parkway, the River Front Park and the new traffic ways and park extensions cannot be executed, without new charter provisions and additional enabling acts from the State Legislature. Whatever differences of opinion there may be with regard to the form of home rule to be ‘granted St. Louis in the matter of controlling police, excise and elections there should be none in the matter of obtaining all the power needed ‘by the city to meet the requirements of munic- ipal development. Certainly the people of St. TLouis will solidly support the demand for im- provement enabling acts. But we need abdve all a new charter to ex- ercise the powers the Legislature has conferred upon St. Louis. The form of the city government should be simplified for more efficient and-economical work. The city should be able to create park and boulevard districts for assessment purposes and 4. provide for payment of improvement taxes in annual ihstallments extending over a term of years. The city should have full power to control public utilities. It should be empowered to construct, purchase, lease, own and operate pub- lic utilities. It should be empowered to issue bonds for public utility purposes. With these powers the city could have brought one ' A Hawes Follower. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

The people of the city need the initiative, refer-' endum and recall) for the control of their officials and of municipal legislation. Dissensions and suspicions hitherto have de- "|feated all efforts to adopt these enlarged charter [powers and to obtain ——* legislation from the State. Let us get together for a greater St. Louis, The Post-Dispatch suggests a Progressive Char- ter League formed of representatives of all the elements of the people for the purpose of assur- ing co-operation for common ends, The League should be organized.by represen- tatives of civic, labor and business organizations. It should invite a free and full presentation and discussion of all views concerning charter pro- -yisions.. It should be organized and directed by men who*are free from the influence of special interests. It should see that proper legislation. r}tor. charter making is adopted and that only ‘men of recognized honesty and capacity who will ‘stand ‘for the public interest are elected on the e Board of Freeholders to frame the charter. Let us eliminate so far as possible misunder- | standing, suspicions and dissensions among all icitizens who have no special interest to serve, before the charter is submitted to the people. There is a great deal of discussion these days as to who should be leader of the Democratic party in St. Louis. There is only one’ leader— Harry B. Hawes—who has shown on more than one occasion that he could lead the party: to victory. Harry is no Boss; he is a natural born leader and organizer, and as long as we have political parties we surely need a leader, and if so, let us have Harry B. Hawes. If the people who are criticising have a better one, let them trot him out or else quit knocking. 4264 Lee avenue. JAMES P. RILEY. Our Oolored Citizens. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have recently had oceasion to interview a num- ber of our colored inhabitants, and must frankly admit that my surprise was great at the courtesy, intelligence and civility that greeted my every call. I found a class of people ardently desirous of harmony and peace, eager for knowledge and education, learned yet devoid of any trace of pedantry; courtéous without affectation, and struggling sincerely for the higher advancement of their race and the better understanding of their duties to themselves and their fellows. Many were ccllege graduates, who had overcome the handi--. caps of racial prejudice, or poverty, of adverse crit- icism, to fortify their minds that they might be instrumental in the elevation of their people. This indeed was a noble ambition. Yet at one of the above modest homes where I sought the courtesy of an interview and obtained it, I was painfully surprised to learn that on two nights previous some ignorant, misguided person had maliciously destroyed peace and property by throwing rocks throvsh the front windows, un- der cover of darkness. Let us study impartially the merits of our soctal: question and bring about the greatest good for the greatest number of citizens; but we must force- fully denounce all such lawless attemptgs of biased and uneducated individuals, which can have no other result than to point the finger of shame at certain degraded — of our white race. “BUD.” * ec fe Physical Oulture in the Schools. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. If what your Dr, Brady tells us in the Post- Dispatch of Dec. 26 is true, what is the use of all the fuss and feathers, time and money spent for physical culture in our public schools? Fifty minutes per week is the time given be- 7$1000 shall be gramted on any one life and not more than $3000 at any time. At present five plans of insurance are of- fered: (1) Ordinary life; (2) 2-payment life; (3) endownient at age 6; (4 10-year en- dowment; (5) term to age 65. Other plans, iticluding annuities, will be issued later. On the ordinary life plan a level an- nual premium is charged until death and at death $1000 is paid; on the 2- payment life plan a level annual pre- mium is charged for 20 years or until prior death, and at death $1000 is paid; on the 10-year’ endowment a level pre- mium is charged for 10 years or until prior death, and at death or at the end of 10 years $1000 is paid; on the en- dowment at age 6 a level annual pre- mium is charged until age 6 is reached or until prior death, and at death or at age 65 $1000 is paid; and on the term to age 6 a level annual pre- mium is charged until age 6 or until prior death and $1000 is paid if death occurs before age 6. These policies represent standard forms issued by legal reserve compa- nies. In fact the State life insurance fis nothing more than the taking over of the best insurance practice of the day reduced to its simplest terms and offering it to the people at cost, with a large part of the cost eliminated through the fact that no agents are employed and that there is no “over- head” charge to maintain offices and salaried officiais.—From ‘‘State Insurance in Wisconsin,” by Benj. 8 Beecher, in the American Reviews of Reviews for January.

The facts are simply these: If we build only one battleship a year, we will fall from second place, which we now hold, to sixth, Patagonia being then the only. first-class power below us.

Have you had yourself inspect- ed lately?: If not, go at once. to your physician, Dr. Brady says, and tell him to look you over from head to toe. It may be a waste of time and money—and again it may add years to your life. This physician who. writes so interest- ingly in this article makes a plea for. prevention of disease. -He advises regular overhauling of | the human machine. And when your physician tells you to do such and such, Dr. Brady advises, do it/ then you'll be happy and live long. The Post-D%spatch presents Dr. Brady’s articles merely as his own \opinions and takes no responsibility for the statements made therein. By Dr. William Brady. ROUND New Year the merchant takes inventory to see whare| he is. It is a laborious time- consuming, expensive task; but it pays. The owner of an engi or power plant has his machinery inspect- ¢t one or more times a year by an expert mechanician, who detects any worn or weakened parts, remedies the defects and saves serious breakdowns. Sometimes he finds everything in peér- fect condition, yet the proprietor does not begrudge the expense. It pays. All our municipal, State and national institutions are regularly inspected by qualified experts in various departments. This costs us Neavily in taxes, but we don’t object. It pays. MmMArY persons are learning the wis- dom of visiting the dentist at certain intervals to have fheir teeth inspected. It is much cheaper and mich more comfortable to have a little filling put in now and then than to have tooth- ache and a gold crown. ntal prophy- laxis pays. = h The dairyman knows t dvantage of q Wish yourself a healthy New a certain degree, but the chic* od fore- most principle of public health is per- sonal health. And the way to guard your personal health from injury and ruin is to uhdergo a periodic physical examination at the hands of the greatest expert of them all—your own family doctor, ‘uberculosis, cancer, Bright’s disease, diabetes and hardening of the arteries are common diseases of insidious onset. As a4 rule the trouble is well established before the victim realizes there’s any- thing serious the matter.

He was as sound as a beer medical examination, whether you need it or not. A BIG, athietic-looking chap, at- tired in his birthday costume, stood before me recently and _ chbal- lenged: “‘Here’s a 1913, Model A, Adam type body, self-starter automatic control engine, doctor. I want your John Han- cock on a certificate that it’s sound all the way through.” Sound? Why, when I had finished with that boy you could have floored him with a lead pencil. He was 4s

He won't be bothered with night calis. having his herd regularly inspected by a veterinary surgeon. It costs money, whether the inspector discovers any- thing wrong or not. Nevertheless it pays. Now with his 5000 years tinkering with the human machine, the average fami:y doctor knows just as much about the business of detecting and removing trivial flaws as does the expert in any other line. An ounce.of prevention is better than. a pound of cure—if the ounce is applied while its weight tay be felt. That may sound Irish, out anyway, medical inspection pays. There can be no question. but that regular medical inspection and physical examination by the family doctor is 4 power of prevention little realized by most persons.

But we must remem- ber Henry came only because he want- ed to land a Job, not because he wanted to keep well.

Haven’t you often heard the famillar remark when someone suddenly suc- cumbs to a stroke of apoplexy or para’- ysis, due to the breaking of a little blood vessel in the brain: “Why, he was feeling better than he had felt in a lonx time. He had 4ust finished an unusually hearty dinner and was talking ancl ‘laughing with the rest of us, when’’— death seized him. The poo: fellow might have escaped the crisis for years and years; yes, it might have been pr vented altogether had he subjected hini- self to a medical inspettion occasional- ly and obeyed the doctor’s injunctions.

N the near future families and indi- viduals will contract with the doctor to act as health master in health and ir. sickness at so much a month or year Then it will be for the interest of both parties of the contract to have frequent medical Inspections of the person and a barrel. of the home.

You know nothing is so cheap as good health) and nothing is so pre- cious, Meantime, while the doctors are fight- ing out in the medical societies the eth- ical question of contract health insur-. ance, the individual should get the hab- it, if he has not already acquired it, of visiting the doctor occasionally and showing the man a real healthy ma- chine. The doctor is a cynic, you will find. He ig very apt to point out de- fects which you never dreamed you had. Should your doctor find the blood pressure a trifle too high, for example, don’t .argue, but listen to his advice about diet and other matters, § + It may save: him writing another éeath certificate for Bright’s disease or heart falure.

Maupome says he will play Horgan anywhere on this mundane sphere and further avers that he can beat the present hoider- of the Jordan Lambert trophy. Horgan, a few weeks ago when his partner Frank Benson was being beaten by. Maupome, declared that he would give the Mex % points {n 200 and tat him. Since then Maupome has improved : ‘at a steady pace and the wiseacres who frequent Peterson's palatial parlors be- lieve that the champion some day will regret “them words.” They figure the Mexican can beat Banker Jawn. The match probably will be staged before a4 the weak member by the West Hud- sons, of Harrison, N. J., who suffered a 4-2 defeat last Sunday. Boucher, a regular member of the team for years, has not played this season, as he has been living in Dubuque. Here for the holidays, however, he has consented to remain until next Sunday to get in the fray against the New Englanders. ‘The St. Leo forward line ranks with any in the country,” said the members of the West Hudson team Monday, be- fore departing for Chicago. They didn’t have any praise for the backfield, al- though they were unable to get past Abstein, Fiynn and Sheahan for any ‘great number of goals. In fact, one of their two tallies re- ‘gulted from a penalty kick while the other came in the last minute of play end at a time when the St. Leos were not playing tight fogtball. At any rate, Manager Klosterman promises to show a stronger defensive team, with Boucher at fullback,’ although Flynn’s playing was acceptable. Visitors Had Stron Cardinal president.

The features of the rule changes of the past few years that have contribut- ed most to the reduction of injuries. are the abolition of such practice as hurd- ling, crawling, pushing-and-pulling and other desperate means of gaining an ad- ditional foot or two. More than mere mass play these heroic efforts were the cause of injuries, generally severe ones. That the employment of them has been stopped by the rules is a bause for re- joicing. For the game has not been denatured in the least, while the pos- sibility of injury has been cut in four or five parts. * — PRESENT RULES O X.

Beat sale far the George Slosson-Ko Ji Yamada cue match which will be staged at Peterson's, beginning the week of Jah. 18, will be opened at the Highth stréet plant Saturday. Present plans are for Slosson and his Oriental companion to play 2400 points at 18.2, in six blocks of #0 points each. This attraction will cost Mr. Peterson $700, which will be split $400 to the winner and $300 to the loser. If Peterson can>get sufficient practice in the meantime, he may rearrange thie schedule and have Slosson and Yamada play only 2000 points and then on the last night, he (Pete) will cross cues with Slosson in a &0-point 18.2 match. On the same evening he fain would have the Jap and the Mexican (Maupome) hook up in a 80-poirt three- cushion match. Such a card is calcu- lated to attract the biggest “house” that ever attended a cue game in St. Louis. All exhibition matches in the future will be played in the subway an- nex at Peterson's.

Locke to F ire Dooin as Bess of Quaker Club PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 81.—William H. Locke, secretary of the Pittsburg Pirates, has obtained an eption on the Philadelphia National League baseball club from Owner Charies P. Taft, in Cincinnati. The option will expire Jan. 1. This announcement was made by President Wiler of the Phillies today. Mr. Taft and Mr. Locke were in con- ference for several hours, the meeting terminating with Locke pasting a sub- stantial amount of money to bind the agreement. The option is on the club franchise as it stands today. Mr. Locke made no offer for the grounds, If he takes up the option he will have to take the lease on the grounds, which expires in 19230, and which can be re- newed unti) 1999. The rental of the fleld is $15,000. Just hew the deal, if completed, will affect the club 's not known. A signifi- eant fact is that for some unexplained reason Manager Dooin, who had planned to leave last week to visit Southern Pines, N. C., and other South- ern points to pick out a training camp for the Phillies in the spring, decided at the last moment not to take the trip. It is understood he is tipped off that there would ove prompt concerning the ownership of the club.

developments gs Team. Manager Tom Adams, of the West Hudsons, handed the St. Leos a sort of left-handed compliment Monday when he said that he would bring a _ real strong team to meet the St. Louis elevens the next time he called. In this matter some of his players disagreed, however, as they consider the West Hudson aggregation about the strong- est in the East. Forward Adamson, one of the stars of the team, told Adams he belfeved it would be impossible to get together a more formidable crowd than the West Hudsons, as they played in the first game against the Innisfails Christmas Day. The Howard-Bullough team is due Tuesday from Pawtucket. Like the West Hudsons, they are booked to show in three games here. This is the sched- ule: New Year's Day—Howard- Bulloughs vs. Inuisfails. Saturday—Howard - Bulloughs vs. Columbus Club. Sunday—Howeard-Bulloughs vs. St. Leos. former champions of America. They held the American Cup. now possessed by the West Hudsons, in 1910—1911, being defeat- ed in the semi-final round of the elimina- tion competition. The team is said to be every bit as strong as the West Hudsons, In fact, the players from Rhode Island are conceded a bette® chance to win from the St. Leos inasmuch as they are credited with playtime the same rushing, rough game as the locals. Foley Is Disappointed, Manager Willie Foley of the Innisfails wae displeased with the showing made by his players in the game with the West Hud- sons. He wasted go words in telling his that he expected a better exhibition falls didn’t play better football against the New Wnglanders than then did against the New Jersey men. * Players Divide Small “Pet.” The series with the West Hudsons resulted

The New Englanders are coming here as INOR changes may be needed to make the present rules code effec- tive; but it is the consensus of coach- ing opinions that another year’s famil- jarity with the rules will serve to show that ignorance of how to use the new regulations, rather than any defects that may be pointed out, is the cause of most of the fancied drawbacks. - The game, at present, can be played at top speed without the contestant risk- ing life and limb in the endeavor to prove to his coach, team mates and fellow students that he’s “game to the core,” receives $2500 each week—a remuneration that runs into something like $12.76 per minute. : When applied to his baseball time, esti- mated at 8778 minutes for 77 acheduled games of an average duration of 1 hour and 54 mimutes, it will be sech that, at his vatndeville rate, McGraw would earn $111,007.28 during the baseball season. McGraw himself is credited, in the wildest Greams of get-rich-quick salaries, as receiv- ing $19,000 a year. In straight salary he is probably getting less than this amount. Thus vaudeville pays him about six times as much as baseball, and, for a mere modi-} cum ef the responsibility and thought he must supply as a team manager. When he cons over these advantages, Mc- Graw will hardly be able to sneer at Rube Marquard for picking up the easy change, nor for asking increased pay for the greater responsibility of pitching. But soft! We take that beck. After watching Rube act, we prefer to think that pitching is much less of @ strain on him.
