Those Hick-a-Thrift flayers are
no respecters of clubs In the Allison
Hill league. Their chief delight the
last week is in making the league
leaders look foolish. Last evening
they played rings around the Gala
huds, walloping- the latter aggre
gation by a score of 12 to 1. Thurs
day night they trimmed Rosewood,
dropping them from first place, and
giving the lead to Galahad. Last
night's result changed the standing
again.
Goodiel tossed again for Hick-a-
Thrfft and was chiefly responsible
for the fine showing of the last team
in the league. It is the third straight
win for the Pine st.reeters under the
management of . Dana Griffin.
Goodiel fanned eleven batters last
evening, and the evening before he
had ten strikeouts to his credit.
The victors clinched the contest at
the very qutset by knocking the
youthful Shay out of the box. He
was succeeded by Boatman, and the
latter made a good showing, but the
damage had already been done.
"Uph Minnlch was the heavy artil
lery for the "Hickies," clubbing out
three two-base hits. Osman clouted
one of Shay's fast shoots for a home
i un.
Winning three contests in one
week, after losing nine straight
games, has increased the interest of
the fans in the "Hickies," and the
latter team is expected to make mat
ters more interesting for the other
teams as the season progresses. Mon
day night Reading and Rosewood
meet, and first place will go to the
team that wins the contest.

The Kiwanis Club's baseball team
's scheduled to play the team from
William Strouse's st >re sometime
next week. Several games have al
ready been played between the two
and keen rivalry has been manifested.
The Strouse store bunch are in fine

Woman's Device Takes
Noise Out of Music
Philadelphia.—The noiseless piano
is on the way, and the ybung lady in j
the flat above soon will cease to!
terrify.
Mrs. Mary Hallock Greenwalt has!
been demonstrating to friends here:
a mechanical apparatus whicfi
plays piano music in colors. It sim
ply gives the "correct color value"
of each note and makes you feel'as
though you were listening to music
when, as a matter of fact, you're
only looking at music.
Mrs. Greenwalt before her. mar-|
riage was a concert pianist of somei
standing and therefore doesn't playj
ragtime in colors. But her "Triuni-j
phal March," from "Aida," is said to |
be a fitif) combination of rich purples;
and high carmines, and on the same]
theory it is predicted that a veryj
particular bridal pair may have the l
Lohengrin music in white and con
ventional black, or may choose a!
program to match the bride's hair. I
In future, when you attend a mu- j
sicale, you may have to dress to
match the muelc.

the subject we have decided to call
on you to settle our friendly argu-1
ment.
I claim that it is his mother's
place to call on her family. She
claims that it Is her mother's place 1
Ito make the first visit. Will you
I kindly tell me which is right?
B. F. C.
Little questions of etiquette seem
I to me somewhat beneath our notice
these dayp of tremendous problems!
I However, this question is asked so
j frequently that I see it seems a real
! problem to many of njy readers.
Their interest In the question war
rants its having a place in the col
umn that is their clearing house for
proKems. Generally, the mother of
the groom calls upon the bride and
her people in order to welcome the
new daughter into her family.

TO ENACT A NEW
CHILD LABOR LAW
Children Swarm Back to Cot
ton Mills After Supreme
Court Ruling
Washington.—A new Federal Child
Labor bill backed by leaders in the
Child Labor Associations of the
country will likely be introduced in
the Senate and the House in the
next few days. Officials of the or
ganizations gathered in Washington
to confer in regard to framing such
a bill. Prompt action is anticipated.
Every effort will be made, it is said,
to have the bill pass during the pres
ent session that the work already
accomplished by the government and
the organization already built up for
the enforcement of a child labor
law may not have to be wasted.
That public opinion is behind some
form of legislation to protect the
children no one doubts. The only
question is how to frame a law which
more than four of our Supreme
Court Judges will hold is constitu
tional. The plan most favorably
considered here is that of levying
upon products in the manufacture of
which children under fourteen have
been employed a Federal tax so great
as virtually to prohibit their manu
facture and sale, as in the oleomar
garine case where the levying of
such a tax by the Federal govern
ment has been upheld by the courts.
Reports received liere say that
the day after the Supreme Court
rendered its decision that the Fed
eral Child Labor law was unconsti
tutional, little children began to
swarm back Into the cotton mills
of North Carolina and into the glass
factories and textile mills of other
states.
Mrs. Florence Kelley, of the Na
tional Consumers' League, com
menting on the decision here said:
. "Sooner or later we will inevitably
have to have an amendment to the
Constitution which will leave no
doubt in the minds of any one as to
the power of the Federal govern
ment to enact laws establishing
standards for our workers. The field
of labor is our front line of
trenches."
Keep Up Colleges in War
Says Chancellor Brown
New York. —American colleges and
schools have been too soft, Chance!-
Jor Brown of New York University,
said in his address at the sixty
fourth annual commencement. Af
ter emphasizing the need of main
taining our educational Institutions,
through the war, he continued:
"It is the self-indulgent and self
seeking students who listen with
greatest approval to the advice that
they should finish their college stud
ies. Their more virile and high
minded associates are straining at
the leash, eager and insistent to have
their part in the present conflict. Let
jus pitch our college requirements to
| the high tone of these more vigorous
| and aspiring students."
HAIWISBURG eSSftl TELEGRAPH!
By TOM A. MARSHALL
Fish who are deaf, dumb and
blind! The Mammoth Cave of
Kentucky contains a continuous
succession of marvels. The &11 Wise
Creator retired to the bowels of the
earth, where in seclusion he created
rock formations and living curiosi
ties, which men of the past and
present generation are permitted to
enjoy.- The noble red men who in
the early days blazed their way
through the intricate caverns, halls
and avenues, at all times stood in
awe of this creation of nature and
attributed the wonderful acoustic
properties of the cave to the Great
and Evil Spirits which they thought
inhabited this cavern. Yet they
made the rotunda or assembly room
in the cave their winter homes, as
the temperature was always found
at 54 degrees.
The cave is located ninety-six
miles south of Louisville, Ky., in a
hilly region, known to the natives
es knobs, which lay adjacent to the
Green river.
During the trip south from Louis
ville much is seen of typical south
ern lite, as it existed before the Civil
War. The old plantation cabin, with
stone chimney up the side, puncheon
floors and clapboard roof. A white
washed fence is not the only thing
running around the yard, as picka
ninnies are much in evidence, being
scantily dressed, their clothes usually
four sizes too large. When the train
whistles it is the signal to stop all
work and remain idle until the rum
ble of the cars dies away in jthe dis
tance. Matt Bransford Jr. was my
colored gbide, who piloted me into
the cave, through the intricate un
derground streets and alleys, halls
and chambers, supported by Corin
thian pillars and columns, until we

NATION NEEDS
WOOLQUICKLY
Agricultural Director Assures
Owners Government Is
Acting in Good Faith
A great deal of uncertainty exists
in the minds of our farmers regard
ing the sale of the wool which is
now being clipped, says F. R. Ste
vens, Agricultural Director, in his
letter to farmers, and I am free to
confess, after reading carefully the
regulations issued by the Federal
government, and also abstracts made
from tljese regulations, he continues
that there are still several questions
in my own mind as to just how the
wool to be quickly apd economi
cally gathered from the farmers and
handed over to manufacturers.
The government has fixed a price
on wool by grades, just as it did in
wheat, and the sales will be made
based upon the quality of the fleeces.
Many grades of wool are established,
and a price fixed for each grade.
The War Industries Board has gone
still further, and designated a sys
tem by which the wool is to be
gathered, the • general scheme of
which is as follows:
Approved dealers in wool have
been selected in Portland, Oregon,
Chicago, New York City, St. Louis,
Boston and Philadelphia. These are
the only agencies authorized to sell
wool to the government or to manu
facturers of woolen goods. These
same dealers are authorized to buy
wool direct from farmers when these
farmers have 16,000 pounds or more.
Farmers can combine their wool
clipping until It aggregates this
amount, and BO sell direct to these
dealers.
It is obvious, however, that even
this system alone would not immedi
ately gather up the wool clip of the
country, and so the regulations pro
vide for local dealers who may pur
chase wool and sell direct to these
approved agents In the cities men
tioned, and a commission of
one and one-half per cent, is allowed
these dealers, which commission will
not come out of the price to the
farmers, and it. therefore, may he
expedient for many farmers to sell
direct t<f the local dealer. In this
way, the war industries board has
endeavored to establish a system
by which few dealers will hiyidle
the wool, and thelr commissions are
very light. •
There seems to be no provision by
which the wool may be oflic'iall.v
graded before It leaven the hands of
the farmers, and therefore, the farm
era cannot tell exactly what price he
will f?et for this wool when it leave?
his hands. A provision is made,
however, by which.he may receive
seventy-five per cent, of the appar
ent value, and leave the adjustment
of the rest after the final grading
has taken place.
Our country Is In need of wool.

FONCK, THE NEW
"ACE OF ACES'
In Young Frenchman Alios
Have Skillful and Deadly
Airman
Paris Not since Guynemer, the
| "Hawk," was shot down last winter
have the Allies had such R skilful
and deadly airman as yOung Rene
Fonck, who recently brought down
six German planes in one day, an un
paralleled feat. He is now known
as the "Ace of Aces."
"I am going out to avenge Chaput,"
declared Fonck, Chaput having been
killed the day before and having
been a famous and popular ace and
friend of Georges Carpentier, the
French heavyweight boxer, and of his
comrades in the air service.
In a few minute!) Fonck met a
squadron of six German planes. With
in six minutes he had sent three of
them hurtlfhg to earth in flames.
Later the same day he encountered
nine German planes and downed three
of them.
Lieutenant Fonck began flying a
year and a half before the war, at
the mature age of 16. When the war
began he was able to start as a pilot
observer, although he did not become
a chaser until 1916. He brought
down hi# first enemy airplane Au
gust 6, 1916, since having accounted
for forty-one other planes, reckoning
only those credited under the strict
standard followed by the French .
His wonderful success and skill
are counted not only by the number
of machines he has smashed, but by
the still more extraordinary fact, that
his own machine never had been hit
by a' bullet.
That, means that besides the clev
erness with which he maneuvers to
get at the man he is attacking he
has a positive genius for deciding
when to strike and when not to
strike, using his judgment as well as
his mastery of the acrobatics of fly
ing to choose the right moment for
assailing his quarry or retiring.
He is a wonderful shot, and in his
last affair he made six direct hits
out of 50 shots.
The daring young Frenchman has
fought a good deal with the Ttrit.ish,
for whom he has a great admiration.
He has two British decorations in
addition to the Croix de Guerre and
the Cross Of the Legion of Honor. Ho
is described as extraordinarily mod
ern. frank and llkahle, Just a lolly
open faced slightly built boy without
a particle of affectation or vanity.
The present flip must l>e gathered
quickly and economically, regardless
of the confusion which may be
caused in changing the system of
gathering up the wool of the coun
try.
i There Is no doubt but that the
j government 1 acting in perfect good
! faith, and X believe that It is the
iduty of us all to respond In that
same good fnith In the confidence
I that the little mistakes that will
occur will he adjusted as SOP.I ;U
possible.

six ways at once.
Manager Cockill asked to have It
published, that, beginning with next
week, there will be a change in the
mid-week game, which is to be shifted
from Wednesday to Thursday, in
order to give the store employes a
chance to see the big-tent speedsters.

"The supreme question before us is
the winning of the war. If nominat

my sincere determination to marshal
and dedicate the resources of the
state that we shall give the most
thorough co-operation to the Nation
al Administration and to other state
administrations, regardless of their
politics, to the end that American
arms shall achieve tlie only peace
satisfactory, a peace baaed upon
overwhelming victory over the Prus
sian powers of darkness.
"As the war will enlarge the
world's freedom, we must provide so
there will come a larger recognition
of the rights of labor, a less sus
picious and a more cordial treatment
of the needs of legitimate business
and greater attention t? our agricul
tural interests.
"I favor the adoption of the state
prohibition constitutional amendment
and the ratification of the similar
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States."

I publisher and Democratic Governor
; of Ohio, announced his candidacy for
re-election at the November election.
