Just when the wiseacres have the old game of baseball out on its feet, the bell saves it. Last year, with the advent of the Feds, the war and kindred other things calculated to make the mag- nates feel like taking poison, the dopesters had the pastime down for the count of nine. Then came that history-making spurt of the Braves and the fans in eight National league cities flocked to the parks to see the Miracle Man and his miracles. Incidentally, the National league wasn’t nearly so hard hit in the pocketbook last season as was noised about, if all present reports are true. This year, with the schedule more than half completed, two close races are again serving as the bell that prevents the sleep wallop. There have been no closer races in either league than those now being seen. For instance, the Dodgers. When the Dodgers—they are being called Superbas mostly now—returned to their own playing plot along about ithe first of July, trailing the league, Col. Charley Holiday Ebbets was about to take the count. No crowds in Flatbush, no enthusiasm, nothing but empty seats in a mighty swell ball park. Along came the Giants; they were walloped. Then the Braves; they were licked even worse. And then the Cubs, chesty by reason of leading the league, blew in. When they left, they left the whole series behind them. The Reds broke the streak by winning one game, but the Su- perbas took it up again immediately. The Superbas were within two stretches and a grab at first place. Have YOU They Bring Resulits! The attendance was so great it made up for the deficits earlier in the sefi- son. If the Brooklyns continue. to win half their games it’s' a safe bet that Ebbets and the McKeevers will make money on the season. There is a marked similarity in the Chicago situation. The Sox and Cubs there have been leading the leagues and drawing good crowds. In St. Louls the Cards have been nosing around the first division all summer and no loud howls have been heard from Schuyler Britton. wise in Philadelphia and Pittsburg. In Boston the work of the Red Sox has kept interest alive in baseball. And so on. And this in’spite of the fact that all the wise ones predicted the most disastrous season in a decade for baseball. These continued savers of the game can lead to but one conclu- sion, it appears, and that is that the game is too great, too firmly en- trenched in the public interest to be put down for the count by one, two, three or more reverses. ONE YEAR OF WAR AS SEEN FROM VIEWPOINT OF FIGHTING NATIONS (Continued from Paxe 1) other lessons, among them, that it doesn’t pay to conceal the truth; that the British people resent being treat- ed like children; that they can stand hearing bad news, and that when the situation is put before them with frankness they can actually be as patriotic as Frenchmen—or Ger- mans. But the one big lesson—which the Germans have taught him—is that war now-a-days is quite as much of a business as it is a science. He has seen all the old theories of warfare upset. He wasn’t prepared for the change in styles. He had no idea the system of trench warfare would become so highly developed; that such an amount of high explosive shells would become necessary; that a preponderating supply of machine guns might spell all the difference between success and failure; that the Germans would introduce the use of asphyxiating gas, liquid fire and other like agencies hitherto unrecog- nized in the conduct of civilized war- fare—but above all that the German superiority in the new style of fight- ing was due to the mobilization of the entire industrial resources of the empire coincidentally with the mo- bilization of soldiers. Make Rifles Useless. Take the matter of machine guns alone. The Germans concentrated upon their manufacture. Result: these weapons have practically rend- ered the rifle useless, and caused the slaughter of British troops when on the offensive, in numbers entirely dis- proportionate to that of Germans in similar circumstances. Machine guns cannot be improvised. The machin- ery for making them requires some nine months to build. It was this question of munitions that finally brought home to the British government appreciation of Closing Out Sale - Of Carbon Paper Sale Begins Thursday, July First And Will Continue Unfil All Are Sold, Seven hoxes of M. & Four hoxes of Carters One hox Red Seal Soveral boxes Dakofa selves. ing around for an excuse.

The enrollment of volunteers for the King’s army—the use of the term “Kitchener’s Army” has been aban- doned in the posters—of course con- tinues, but the enlistment of men at all qualified to work in munition- shops is discouraged.

The first thing he did was to tell his fellow-countrymen the truth —the grave danger confronting the Empire through the deplorable slack- ness hitherto prevailing in the manu- facture of the instruments of warfare. Next he brought both labor and capi- tal into line. He got the trades un- ions associated with munition-mak- ing to agree to suspend during the war, their rules restricting output and to bend all their energies toward thedesired object; and he got the manufacturers to agree to forego all additional profits arising out of war contracts in excess of 20 per cent. To cineh matters he had Parliament put these and other regulations into legislation, including immediate gov- ernment control of the workshops, and the creation of a Munitions Court with power to inflict adequate penaltijes for slackness, strikes, lock- outs, etc. Finally, to insure an un- interrupted flow of munitions in the largest quantity possible from the United States and Canada be sent hot- foot to.

Meantime just to demonstrate, Lloyd George went out into one of the manufacturing districts where, under the old system of sub-contract- ing, about 10,000 shells a month were being produced, injected a little ginger, and started. an output of 150,000 shells a month, which he ex- ] pects to have increased to an average of 300,000. He believes that under the system already inaugurated the United Kingdom alone will -soon be able to exceed the estimated product of the Central Continental Powers of 250,000 shells a day.

The idea as applied to stationery is just as practical and valuable. All the letterheads and forms used in your home office or your branches; and all the blanks and slips used in your factories, can be standardized in at least one respect—the paper upon which they are printed. The first requisite, of course, is to find one paper good enough for a letterhead, strong enough for a form to be handled in the workshop $3.00 at $3.00 at $2.75 at $3.00 at $2.50 ot $2.00 at $2.50 at $3.00 at $1.00 $1.00 $1.00 - $1.00 $1.00 $1.00 $1.00 $1.00 - .
