EATS ANYTHING AND © A WHOLE LOT OF IT By PAUL PURMAN, This is an culogy to the memory of Sam Langford, heavyweight champion of Sam MeVey and Joe Jeannette. Tham, the broad-smiling, bay-win- dowed, chocolate-colored fighter lost his smile, his nerve and his agility down at Boston the other night and for the first time in his gay old life climbed through the ropes of the ring and told his seconds to throw in the sponge. “Ah guess ah knows when ah got enuff,” ‘Tham commented as the ver- dict was awarded to the Minnesota stringbean, Fred Fulton. Has Tham retired? Well, if he has, he made no’ public announcement of that historic event and if he has Sam McVey and Joe! Jeannette will either have to go back moving pianos or starve to death, for Tham was the best meal ticket in the world for Sam and Joe, and Joe and Sam were considerable meal tickets for Tham. Twenty-eight times has Sam met the brethren in the squared circle, Joe 14 times and ‘McVey 14 times. Sam holds the honors for neither of them oe CHAMPION OF SAM McVEY AND JOE JEANETTE, TERROR OF CHEFS, QUITS FOR FIRST TIME and he has scored one knockout over each of them. In the other 26 meetings he lost to Joe. three’ times and to Sain twice; he won four times from Joe and three times from Sam; he fought two draws with Joe and four with Sam and frisked- through four no-decision scraps with each. Langford’s greatest misfortune was his South American tour about a year ago. It came about this way. Lang- ford’s greatest indoor sport is getting his feet under a table and wearing out half a dozen waiters. His appe- one of the wonders of medical have ever sent him into dreamland s and the terror of his friends He CHASED JOHN’ AROUND THE: WORLD <4 FULTON CHASED Him Ro gue who very occasionally invite him to dinner. South America didn’t take kindly to the two Sams and Joe when they arrived. Box office receipts were small and the smiling trio went on a war diet. That was the last straw and\Tham hustled baék to the U. S.A, with his tour half completed. ‘When Jack Johnson was champion Langford was considered the only man who had a chance to beat him, but the wily Johnson: wouldn't try issues with the gorillalike Sam. Funny old happy-go-lucky Sam. It must have been an awful blow to his pride to have to quit, to a fighter like Fulton. Emery Ball Ru le Proves. Expensive to Magnates With all this talk of the shine ball, the licorice ball, the talcum powder ball and the other foolers, American league batters are charging opposing pitchers with using comes a yelp from club magnates against -the edict against the emery ball, which brings up anew the s Her of the high cost of baseball. Magi Sart Ds 't kicking on the emery ball because of changing their minds about the “plumb meanness” of the thing, not at all, i in their eyes as ever, but they are ob- ting to the frequency with which { r they are cafled upon to provide new balls. Lvery time a ball hits the stands or or the flagpole the umps orde the clubhouse and substitutes another. New balls that have been pitched only once or twice may be the vic- tims, but it makes no difference to the wmps, who orders them out of the game with as much gusto as if they were an obstreperous player. Charley Comiskey estimates that 20 new balls are being used in every game played at the White Sox park, exclusive of those stolen by specta- tors. This is about twice the number that used to be used before the emery ball rule came in favor. Th me wail is going up in every big league park that boasts concrete stands. On account of the iner in price of horsehide and other materials used in making baseballs the losses are particularly heavy this year. OIL IN SOUR LAKE-TEXAS FIELDS BRINGS RICHES TO MANY.

NEMENTOS OF WASKINGTON Uniform and Equipment Used by “The Father of His Country” In Field Among the Most Highly- Prized Exhibits. nari The roles played by patriotic Amert- cans in the history of the country are perpetuated in the exhibition halls of the division of history in the United States National museum at Washing- ton, where a large portion of the Arts and Industries building is devoted to the preservation of historical relics: The exhibits are intended to illustrate by an apptopriate assemblage of ob- jects, the lives of distinguished person- ages, important events, and the dom- estic life of the United States from “The Human Night Hawk,” as Louis Gertson is familiarly known, comes to colonial times to the present day. The collections in these halls are especial- ly rich in relics and mementos of American army and navy officers, and include uniforms, swords, guns, flags, and many other objects which recall the names and services of their illus- trious owners. ~ Probably nothing in all the collec- tions more quickly touches the hearts of true Americans, than certain, ob- jects once the property of “The Father of His Country.” While composed mostly of household articles, there are also several martial accessories, Con- spicuous among these is a pair of gold- wire epaulets worn by Washington when a colonel during the French and Indian war, notably throughout the Braddock campaign in 1755. His Con- tinental army uniform, worn at Annap- olis, Md., when he resigned his com- mission as commander in chief of ‘the Continental army, December 23, 1783, is one of the most highly valued ob- jects in the museum. Another great attraction is the equipment used by him in the field, consisting of his tents with poles and pegs, mess chest and various utensils, his writing case and spy glass. Life Masks of Lincoln. There are two life masks of Abra- ham Lincom, casts of his hands, and a suit of clothing worn by him while president. The museum is fortunate in having a large number of objects pertaining to the life of Gen. U. S. Grant, particularly the gifts he re- ceived during his journey around the world on the termination of his presi- dency. Among these personal relics are several swords, a uniform coat, saddle, canes, epaulets, medals and commissions, Paul Revere, famous as the hero of the ride to Lexington and Concord in 1775, and who served as lieutenant colonel of artillery throughout the Rev- olution, was a silversmith by trade, and the museum has several excellent examples of silversmith’s work execut- ed by him. Commencing with the days of the Revolution and extending through the periods of all our wars, there are in the national collections interesting swords and other objects owned by such men as Alexander Hamilton, John Hancock, Brig. Gen, Peter Gansevoort, Jr, Brig. Gen. Montgomery C. Meigsy Marquis de Lafayette, Count de Roch- ambeau, Brig. Gen. Thaddeus Kosciusz- ko, Brig. Gen. Eleazar W. Ripley, Maj. Gen. Jacob Brown, Maj. Gen. John Bankhead Magruder, Maj. Gen, Alex- ander Macomb, Maj. Gen. George W.} Morgan, Brig. Gen. James Shields, Brig. Gen. John Watts de Peyster, Maj. Gen, Winfield Scott Hancock, Maj. Gen, John A. Halderman, Brig. Gen. William H. Browne, Maj. Gen. James ers, Relics of John Paul Jones. Nor is the navy lacking in represen- tatives. There is # fine series of relics and mementos starting with John Paul Jones, whose remark, “I have just be- gun to fight,” is known to every school boy. One of his flags is exhibited, and a cutlass.and musket captured from the “Serapis” in 1779. It was Jones who first carried the Stars and Stripes, then the new flag of America, across the sea. The original “Star Spangled Key to write the poem, now our na- tional anthem is displayed in the mu- seum, Commodore Stephen Decatur’s sword Js an interesting relic of this remark: the big Interstate Tair direct from the Aviation Section Signal Corps O, R. of the U. S. Army Station at Memphis, Tenn. Gertson was recently presented wit’ the commission of lieutenant, which he righttully deserved, Besides: being all wrapped up in his work and having an eager desire to be of service to his country, Gertson has found time to scare up some Iikely recruits for the profession which he follows, The government granted him leave of absence in order that he might be able to fill all his exhibition dates, of which he has many, being booked solid for the season, and his new French scout machine will receive its first intreduction to the American pub- lic. It is the very latest type of a scout war plane. Gertson will be sta- tioned at Ashburn, Ill, a little suburb close to the city limits of Chicago RA nnn nnnnnnnnnnnnes able sea fighter who gained distinction in the Tripolitan war, served gallantly in the War of 1812, and forced the Dey of Algiers to renounce .all claims of tribute from the United States in 1815, ThH® sword of Commodore James Bid- dle, distinguished in the War of 1812, is also on exhibition. A silver service presented to Capt. James Lawrence, after his capture of the British sloop of war “Peacock” in 1813, is preserved in the museum, Law- rence is better known, however, by | his words, “Don’t give up the ship,” spoken during the Chesapeake’s en- gagement with the Shannon, and Law- rence’s last fight. Reminiscent of one of the best-known naval heroes, Ad- infral Davitl C. Farragut, is the uni- form worn by him when, aloft in the rigging of the Hartford at Mobile bay, he jexelaimed, “D-—— the torpedoes go ahead!” Two cases contain person- al relics, mementos, and presents of Mea Admiral Winfield Scott Schley. WOMEN REPLACE MEN One Million So Employed, in Eng- land, Uncle Sam Finds. Steps Are Being Taken to Shorten Hours of Work and to Protect Health of the Workers. ‘The extent to which women have re- placed men in industry in Great Brit- ain during the war, the operations which they are required to perform in factories and other lines of endeavor, periods of employment, arrangements ; for rest and: meals, and the physical condition of woman workers, together with a discussion of matters affecting the eniployment of juveniles, including hours of labor, and supervision of health and welfare, are set forth in a) bulletin issued by Uncle Sam's bureau of labor statistics. It is estimated that since the war began and down to October, 1916. 9S8.- | 500 women or 30.6 per cent of the number employed in July, 1914, had been drawn into the various govern- mental, industrial and commercial ac tivities, and that in October, 1916, 933,- 000 women had directly replaced: men in industry. Many of these women are performing operations heretofore considered impossible for them to do. In seeking to conserve the health and thus promote the efficiency of these workers, the health of munition workers committee reached the con- clusion that long hours, particularly at night, are. perhaps the chief fac- ARMY AVIATOR BRINGS NEW SCOUT PLANE Visitors to Interstate Fair at Fargo to Be Given Opportunity of Seeing Lieut. Gertson in Flight. ‘ 2 a where the United States government is erecting an aviation field to be opened shortly with eighty sheds. and as many machines. In conclusion it might bé added that Louis Gertson is very ‘enthusiastic about his connection with the amay and he urges ali brother aviators to enlist and do their bit. In his temjo- rary duties as an instructor he hopes to meet many show boys and profes- sional fliers. The fair officials consider themseives extremely fortunate in securing ‘the services of Gertson as he has for years been the acknowledged leader of trick aviators and his flights boths day and night.are spectacular to.a degree. His night flights will Le accompanied by suitable fireworks and Gertson in hia latest type scout war plane will give daily demonstraticns of the military maneuvoring of these monsters of the air. Danan nannnnnnannnnnnnnne tors in fatigue and that in the interest of output and healththey should be restricted. There should be suitable pauses for rest during the’working pe- riod and adequate cessation from work at each week end in addition to pe- riodie hoHdays. The system of three shifts of: eight hours appears to yield better resulis than one shift of 13 to 14 or two shifts of 12 hours each, bee cause “the strain of night work, in- decd the strain generally, is sensibily diminished, greater vigor of work 1s ntained throughont the shift, less time is lost by unpunetuality or Hl ness, and there is less liability to ae- | cident.” Employers are increasingly recognizing the disadvantages of an system, Well managed. in- cnnteens, facilities for rest at 1a high standard of sanitary eonditions are essential, for “cleanll- ness and good order contribute to In- ereased output as well.as to the dis- ! eipline and morale of: the factory.” Wise. and suitable ngements for the management and supervision of. women’s labor are regarded as im- iz 1914 the number. of women who obtained employment in other dis- iets. through the employment ex: changes was 32,988; in 1915 in 1916, 169,003; indicating creasing mobility of women’s bor due to war conditions, To maintain the physical well-heing of ‘children, opportunities for recrea- tion, time for plenty of sleep, canteen ! facilities and the efforts of welfare, sunervisors are regarded. as highly im- portant. Sunday work should be elim- inated and children should be. em- ployed at night only when other labor cannot be obtained. Employment of hoys under sixteen should be restrict- ed to 60 hours per week, it is urged. It should be borne in mind that this | limit recommended by the committee expresses their opinion of the maxi- mum whith may be permitted to meet the imperative need of necessary mili- tary ‘and other supplies in a time of great emergency. It is.estimated that 50.000 children at or about the age of ourteen, normally leave the elemen- tary schools annually, and that in 1915 this number was exceeded by sbout | 45,000 with the probability that it is now much greater.
