HEALTH OF STATU BEST IN
VKAIIS.
Health Commissioner Dixon re
ported that the lint of communicable
diseases for June wus the lowest ex
perienced throughout the State for
teveral yeurs. The report showed a
total of 7tl8ti, a decrease of 5102 as
compared with May, uud a decrease
Df 2054 and 1282 compared with
June of 1910 and 1901) respectively.
The commissioner declares the
co-operation of the people of the
Btate In enforcing the laws largely
Is responsible for Uie excellent bIiow
!nii. Continuing, Mr. Dixon said:
This decrease is even more remark
able than appears on its face from
the fact that reports for the present
year cover practically every city,
borough and township in the State,
while In previous years reports from
jitlte u few of the boroughs and
townships were not reported, and
then again, Intelligent, moral and
faithful physicians have awakened to
the necessity of co-operating with the
great move being made to prevent
lickness and death.
The Government work notwith
standing these great results Is criti
cised by those who have been punish
ed for the violation of our laws gov
erning these sanitary conditions of
ur Commonwealth. Fortunately the
now Medical Uureau of Pennsylvania
can consider the moral character of a
man before granting a license to
practice medicine and that same
bureau cau revoke medical licenses
when the holders of the same are
guilty of malpractice.
The Hplendid health law formulat
ed by Dr. Charles 11. Penrose and
passed by the Legislature of 1903 is
beginning to show a reduction In
the great total of communicable dis
eases. The special diseases showing
marked decrease are scarlet fever
and measles,, the latter of which has
been heretofore looked upon by those
In care of children as being harmless
notwithstanding it was so deadly
as shown by the report of the new
Bureau of Statistics.
Typhoid fever, a disease which
should be exterminated remains low
er than for previous years, and the
only disease showing a tendency to
Increase is whooping cough, of which
disease the State Department, even
with the help of all the newspapers
In the State, has not been able to
awaken the people to the enormity of
the death rate and to Its power to
leave In Its wake tuberculosis and
other afflictions.
The decrease In communicable dis
eases is not confined to cities, bor
oughs or townships, but is general
all over the forty-five thousand
square miles of territory in the State.
Noon-Hour l.iimli Law.
Chief Factory Inspector Delaney
Issued notices to all deputy 'factory
inspectors informing them that they
must enforce the acts fixing the per
iod of time allowed for the noon
day meal In the Industrial establish
ments of the State. In his notice
Chief Delaney Bays: The act of 1905
provides one hour for the noonday
meal, which may, for good cause be
reduced to less than one hour. The
act of 1909 fixes forty-five minutes
as the minimum period for the noon
day meal for males under Bixteen and
females under eighteen years of age
In inforcing these acts you will here
after proceed as follows: In estab
lishments where no males under six
teen years, and no females under
eighteen years of age are employed,
you may, for good cause allow thirty
minutes, but In establishments where
males under sixteen and females un
der eighteen years are employed no
less than forty-five minutes must be
permitted for the noonday meal.

ON QUESTION OF MANAGERS
Which It More Capable, Bench or
Playing? Largely Matter of Indi
viduals and Personality.
The discussion as to the relative
merits of a bench and playing mana
ger for a baseball team Is again un
der way.
"I believe that before long all man
agers will be bench managers," says
Hugh Mcllreen, treasurer of the Bos
ton Americans. "I think the game is
coming to that Baseball has gone
ahead so much and come to be so fast,
beforo long the manager will have all
lie can do to sit on the bench and- di
rect the play without attempting to
get upon the coaching lines. Mana
gers must plan ahead, must be figur
ing out the next play, and upon the
linos they are apt to lose sight of
moves ahead they have In their minds
In the immediate duties of coaching.
"You see a manager coaching at
first base one minute and then a situ
itlon arises that tikes him. over to
third base, and It doesn't seem to n.e
that he can make these moves and at
the same time plan as clearly as if
he were on the bench without any
thing to bother him except planning
Then, again, by sitting on the bench
all the time with the players around
hint he Is constantly getting their
Ideas and finding out Just what they
think of what ought to be done."
Now, It just happens that the Boston
Americans have a bench manager,
which may or may not Influence Mc
Dreen's opinion; but at any rate It
Is probhhle that the olliclals of the
New York, Cincinnati and Brooklyn
clubs In the Natlonnl league, and of
the Athletics. Detroit, Chicago and
Washington clubs, in the American
league would agree with him.
The secretaries of the other major
Capt. Bobby Wallace.
league teams would probably declare
In favor of the playlnif managers, who
are as follows:
Chance, Chicago Cubs, first base;
Clarke, Pittsburg Pirates, left field;
Dooln, Phillies, catcher; Bresnahan.
bt. Louis Cardinals catcher; Tenney,
Boston Doves, first base; Chase, Yan
kees, first bade; Wallace, St. Louis
Browns, shortstop.
The whole question Is, of course,
largoly a matter of Individuals and
personality, and will probably be a
source for argument as long as the
gamo exists.

I SHOWED ULD EALL LIVELIER
Boston People Experiment After
L-oubtlng Resiliency of New
Sprere Test Causes Confusion.
There has been much controversy
among baseball players and .baseball
fans this season regarding the ball
now In use In the major leagues, the
disputants lining up on the question
whether the ball now In use Is or Is
not livelier than the one used last sea
son. Many claim that the high batting
averages of some of the players at the
present time are due to the livelier
ball, while others claim that they are
due to the Ineffectiveness of the pitch
ers and that the ball Is no 'livelier
than the one used last season.
Of course, If the manufacturers will
not Bettlo the doubt It would be nec
essary to subject the balls to sclentlflo
tests and examination In order to
definitely determine the facts, and
even then balls which were supposed
to be Identical In make might show a
difference In resiliency because It
probably is not possible that any two
of them are exactly alike.
Some tests were mnde the other daT
with two balls, one of them Issued
for use In the American league late
hist season, and one that was Issued
for the season of 1911. These were
dropped from a height of 15 foet sim
ultaneously. They struck a concrete
floor at as nearly tho same Instant as
they could be made to do so, and
they were photographed at the mo
ment they had reached the extreme
height of the rebound.
It was found that the ball Issued
for last season bounded higher than
the ono Issued for this season, the dif
ference In height being clearly showa
In the photograph.
Several other tesM were made and
Invariably the 1910 ball proved to be
the livelier. These tests with onlr
two balls are absolutely decisive of
nothing as regards the general propo
sition, but they show clearly enough
thnt the ball that was Issued In 1910
was, In this particular case, livelier
than ti e one Issued for 1911. Whether
a series of experiments more accur
ately and scientifically made would
show the same or opposite rssults re
mains to be seen.
The experiment made recently
would teem to confuse the problem
F.tlll further, for the players generally
tay that the ball Is livelier this year
than It was last.

"1 don't like to appear foolish witl
a lot of talk about the race," shot
forth the great midget, "but 1 want
to go on record as saying that wo
will Jam down that pennant as sure as
shooting. If our pitchers had been
working we would have a lead now
that would help a lot.
"Detroit Is the team that we will
have to beat. Weil do It. It hasn't
a man who looks like a twlrler ex
cept George Mullin, and It can't work
him every day. By the first of Sep
tember we'll have the grand old rag

course, as we have a late start. But
we will win as sure as the sun shines.
There will be nothing to It."

Equality of
Man
By Rev. S. M, Dick
Pastor Wesley M. E. Church, Minneipolit
TKXT-r-ThiTo Is neither Jew nor Oreek,
there is neither boiiU nor free, there Is
neither mule mr female: for ye ure all
une In Christ Jesus Oal. 11:21
Twenty-two years ago tho Epwortn
League of the Methodist Episcopal
i;irch was organized. We celebrate
Its twenty-first anulversary. Its
p.rowth has been marvelous, Its work
significant. It is not my purpose to
review Its history, but to call your at
tention to Its opportunity for service.
Service is the keynote In the sym
phony of this century's activities.
Four distinct phases of ethical devel
opment mark the four quarters of the
last century. These four ethical prin
ciples are a foundation for the supers
structure of the service to be rendered
to humanity In the name of Jesus
Christ during this century.
In the first quarter of the lust cen
tury the fundamental principles were
laid for the breaking down of racj
prejudices. Neutiy all Europe was 10
wtir. One hundred and seventy mil
lion peop-e were Involved, 4,000,01)0
men were drawn from the activities
of economic production and were ex
pending their ene.-gles fh wasting each
other's states, burning their cities, rol)
blng their fields, destroying their
homes and taking their lives. No ex
cuso other than an other nationality
and plunder was necessary to go to
war.
But In tho midst of this mighty
conflict of destruction other forces
were at work. Great Ideas were ta
king form In the minds of meu who
loved neace rather than war. The
Idea of the steamboat, the railroad,
the telegraph was budding and blos
soming to bring forth a little later Ita
harvest of better feeling between na
tions, larger conceptions of fraternity
and a keener sense of brotherhood
and justice. It was the Initiation of
that great movement which Is now re
sulting In that world-wide feeling,
'ihere Is neither Jew nor Greek," but
a man's a man for a' that.
The second quarter of a century
nas marked by abolition of slavery.
The agitation In the British parliament
s acceded in emancipating all British
slives in 18!U. Hungary had 9.000,000
s aves. Nearly all the peasants of
Austria and Prussia were slaves. It
was In this quarter of the century that
the principles that wre to bring tree
dum to tho multitudes were agitated
and the people began to see a grenf
light. The same was true of the Unit
ed States. While the emancipation
of the slave did not come until the
nt xt quarter of the century, the leveo
of emancipation- was working with the
sure result which followed in the six
ties. Henceforth there was to L
nei'her bond nor free.
The third quarter of the century
revealed that, ethically speaking,
there was neither male nor female.
After the beginning of the century
women were excluded from schoo.u
by law. No woman was al'owed to
teach In public schools; and for a
woman to think of bei:;g n clerk In
a store or serving the public in any
iiidnsnhil wav outside of the home
was an almost unheard-of thing. Hut
from lSuO to 1875 was the period of
thelt emancipation. Public schools
were opened to them not only to at
tend but they became dominant lac
tors In the teaching force. Colleges
for co-education were established In
large numbers and women showed
themselves the equals of their broth
ers in educational attainments. Be
fore the close of the century 80 per
cent, of the teachers In the public
schools of the country were women.
Practically all avenues of business
were open to them and all professions
welcomed them. Verily there was
neither male nor female.
Thi last quarter of a century we
hegao to realize, 'Ye are all one In
Christ Jesus." It was the quarter ot
brotherhood. Trade, travel, educa
tion and religion began to bring men
to see things from tin same ang.e.
We began to know each other, we
learned we were brethren. We had
ono common Interest. We served to
one common end. Christianity makes
no distinction between races. its
aim and purpose Is to lift humanity
up to better things.
These great movements have be
queathed to the young life of this
century a rich heritage. In all depart
ments of life we nre asking the ques
tion: "Is the product worth while'.'"
We ask of the pub'le school, is the
product worth while? Does It pay the
cost of Its production? Of the col
lege and university we are asking the
same question. The same Is being
asked of the saloon and of the grent
Industrial organizations; the fame of
the church of Jesus Christ. Xhe snme
of the Sunday school and of the E
worth League and of every other bo
clety of young people organized lor
Christian work.
This Is the opportunity of the
ages. Are we meeting It? Manhood,
womanhood, integrity In business,
honesty In trade, sincerity In service,
sacrifice in relation to others, these
are things the age Is calling for. Will
we measure up to our part In the use
ot our Inheritance which the last cen
tury has handed down to us and
which this century demands we use
to the glory of God and to the edifica
tion of man.
The voice of all nature cries to ui
that tl.e;e Is a God. Voltttlre.

NOT A. "FULL-LENGTH" PAPA
Child Wanted Original of Portrait That

An amusing Incident Is related of
a young service matron who had re

and who, having before his departure
Insisted on a good photograph, applied
herself assiduously to the upbringing
of her two-year-old baby with a view
to the child's familiarity with her dis

call the baby girl to her aud, kneeling
beside her, would hold up the photo

the child.
One day the officer came home, and
the baby glcl, then four years old,
was summoned. "Come, dear," said
the mother In glee, "papa has come
home at last!" The child surveyed
the officer In perplexity and finally
shook her bead.
"What is the matter, dear?" asked
ber mother. "Well," replied the child,
"he looks something like my papa, but
