Joe didn’t have enough, and went back into play a few days later, only to slam himself against the fence chasing a foul fly, and knocked himself out again. The result was, the doctor or- dered Joe to “lay off” for the rest of the season. Joe thinks everyone feels he. is a “cream-puff,” but Mrs. McKinnon says Joe could have the twon of Twin Falls just for the asking, he is so popular Incidentally, the pitcher who “beaned” Joe, the league. | - B.P.O.

The boat traveled 35 miles | during that time. Lowe gives credit for making him | a champion to Frank Hurlburt, sportsman member of the crew who | has a record himself of having gaf- | fed 1,000 swordfish. It was aboard the Polaris that he passed his 1,000~ mark, and Lowe's world's record fish | was' number 996." The Lowes live aboard their yacht, count Juneau, where the craft is| registered, as their home and spend | many months each year fishing and hunting in Alaska waters.

Phone Dorothy Roff, Red 199, 315 Third St. S, adv Women on Jobs LONDON Sept. 6.—The world's | 1argest city has adjusted itself to war. With the traditional ability of P Britishers to fit themselves to any condition, Londoners moved into the new routine of war life as though nothing else had ever been known Underneath their calm there was an indication of bewilderment. London knew it was at war. There was a long string of new rules for them to obey—don’t do this and don't do that—only so much of this or that may be purchased, trans- portation facilities are very limited and blackouts limited them even farther Certain restrictions were placed on the publication of newspapers. Overhead floated numerous bal- loons, their dangling cables designed to enmesh raiding army planes, but despite this hideous group of re- minders of war only a small amount of war news was available. The most complete proof that Great Britain is at war is the ab- sence of children in London. Women began to appear as bus conductors, chauffeurs and truck drivers, taking the places of the men who had been ‘¢ called to the colors. Among the many special war measures taken was the restriction of newspapers to 12 pages. Limitations were also placed on the amounts that could be taken from the country to 25 pounds (25 pounds is the equivalent of about $120 American money) and an order from the Board of Trade authorized the creation of food control com- 4 mittees throughout the nation.
