CHURCH TO HAVE TEAMS
BAPTISTS TO BE REPRESENTED
IN BASKETBALL
The First Baptist church will have
four organized and well trained bas
ketball teams within the next week,
according to the plans of the young
men of that institution. The men, in
a class called the "Baraca," and the
boys under the name of the "Knights
of Honor," each will have two teams,
a first and a second. . Each class has
weekly practice in the armory under
the coaching of Rev. W. T. Milliken,
pastor of the church.
Dr. Milliken is a thorough and a ef
ficient coach, having and a compre
hensive knowledge of the game. He
has played on several big eastern
teams, including the "Detroit Bap
tist." The line-up has not yet been choos
en. Those out for the Baraca team
are: Shinnes, McNulty, Kellogg,
Armstrong, Miller, Milliken, Oglesby,
Burgon and Howard.
TWELVE TEAMS TIE
NEW YORK, Dec. , 10. Twelve
teams had stood the test of two days'
riding and were tied for the lead in
"the six-day bicycle race in Madison
Square Garden. Trailing behind was
the Kopsky-Keefe combination which
in a series of sprints, starting shortly
before 11 o'clock last night was laped
five times. Added to their previous
losses, this put them eight laps be
hind the leaders.

Dan O'Leary, the veteran pedes

O'Leary stayed in San Francisco for
a few days and then made his hike
to the Angel city.
Catcher Owens, who was drafted by
Washington from Minneapolis will
probably be used in a trade. Griffith

Three more California youngsters

Henderson, a shortstop, and LaRue, a
second baseman, all of whom hail
from the Pasadena Athletic club
team.
Wilbert Robinson, the new manag
er of Brooklyn, is sweet on Claude
Derrick, the shortstop who has al
ready had two major league trials.
Derrick is a brother of Fred Derrick
the Portland first baseman, and he
made a good record with Baltimore
last season.
Delvin, the new manager of tha
Oaks, was second best fielding third
baseman in the National League last
season. In 69 games with Boston he
made but six errors out of 223 chances
for an average of .973. Looks like the

. What Is the ideal length for a ser
mon? The question Is raised by Dean
Hole in his "Memories." By way ol
illustration, he tells a story of a sher
iff's chaplain who bad once asked a
judge what was the proper length of a
sermon. "Well, twenty minutes," was
the answer, "with a leaning to th
8ide of mercy." That is good advice
and, by the way, it is advice which
Queen Victoria would have heartily
approved. In 1807 the queen present
ed a pulpit glass to the Chapel Royal,
Savoy, and it was timed for exactly
eighteen minutes. There was no mis
taking the hint. If you wanted to
please the queen you stopped preach
ing at eighteen minutes.

AC IS GREAT PM
SAYS JAMES AEOUT PORTLAND
MANAGER
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 10. After
the reports were circulated that Man
ager McCredie had a chance to man
age a club in the major league, the
esteem in which he is held by Bill
James would not come in amiss.
. James gave his unbiased views on
the Portland manager's ability before
he left here, but wished that nothing
be said about it until he had left the
city. As the lengthy fellow is now
hibernating in Los Angeles, his state
ment can be given.
The big pitcher has no ax to grind
and no favors to j1-- v, Portland
manager, consequently his opinion is
entirely unbiased. According to
James, he never was more wrong
impressed by a man in his life than he
was by McCredie when he first came
here.
"During the training season and dur
ing the early months of the season,"
said Bill, "I though that McCredie
was one of the biggest jokes as a man
ager I had ever seen. He didn't have
a great deal to say, and naturally,
when we were losing things didn't
look bright."
AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE
LEARNING ROADS' VALUE.
The Nation Awakening to Benefits of
Improved Highways.
One of the strangest things in the
history of the development of this
country is that the people as a nation
waited until the last few years to real
ize what good roads mean to civiliza
tion. They waited until after the great
era of railroad building was long since
over and the United States had become
a world leader industrially. It seems
that the economic value of first class
highways ought to have been just as
apparent seventy-five j-ears ago as it is
now, but nearly everything else in the
way of providing general means of
transportation was done before we be
gan to consider the road problem in its
true significance. Despite the obvious
fact that the American people grapple
with only a few vital problems -at a
time, the long delay of the good roads
movement can hardly be explained.
But the people are not destined to
travel in mud and ruts forever. The
belated good roads movement has
started in earnest, and there is every
reason to believe that it will be carried
on successfully until no European na
tion can boast of as good thorough
fares as ours. It is a pioneer move
ment, and it is a well known fact that
as pioneers Americans have no supe
riors. The campaign of agitation, which be
gan to attract general attention two or
three years ago, has made marvelous
headway. Public opinion has been af
fected in practically every county in
the United States. More speeches have
been made and more printer's ink con
sumed in the discussion of the road
problem in the last two years than in
any previous twenty-five years. Scores
of organizations, local and national,
have been started for the purpose of
stimulating public sentiment and urg
ing enabling legislation. Hundreds of
commercial associations in towns and
cities have taken up the problem, and
thousands of public spirited men have
contributed liberally of their money
for the furtherance of..the cause. Dis
tinguished civil engineers are devoting
their time and labor to the solution of
construction problems, and many emi
nent statesmen are studying the situa
tion, with a view to helping frame and
put through the necessary legislation.
Borough, township and county fiscal
authorities are replacing incomeptent
supervisors with skilled road engi
neers. And, what means more than
can be easily imagined, a very large
number of rural taxpayers are begin
ning to realize that good roads of all
public conveniences are a vital neces
sity. Collier's Weekly.
An Absolute Vacuum.
Q. When a bottle of milk is emptied
it contains air; when the air is pumped
out there is a vacuum. My friends
cannot tell what is in the bottle. Can
you explain?
A. But the air cannot be entirely
pumped out Humans so far have not
secured an absolute vacuum. If they
could, then the bottle by some is sup
posed to contain ether. But the ex
istence of ether has not been proved.
And then the bottle might contain three
or four septil lions free electrons, all
beyond human research to discover.

THE PATROL SYSTEM.
Great Success of Government Test
Near Fort Myer.
The office of public roads of the de
partment of agriculture lias been mak
ing ex peri inputs on an eight mile
stretch of road in Virginia to demon
strate the results that may be obtained
on country earth roads by continuous
work under a patrol system. A patrol
man was employed to furnish a horse,
cart and small tools, and he was sup
plied with a road drag built of plank
and required to furnish two horses to
drag the road whenever it was in suit
able condition for dragging, usually
following each rain
The entire eight miles of road are well
traveled, and there is considerable
heavy teaming over parts of it. The
Dnlted States cavalry stationed at Fort
Myer frequently passes over a portion
and batteries of artillery also use the
road at intervals A traffic census for
three days last Mnrfli showed the fol
lowing daily average of teams travel
Ing over the road: Leaded one horse
wagons, fifteen: unloaded one horse
wagons, fifty-eight: loaded two horse
wagons, thirty-eight: unloaded two
horse wagons, forty-nine: loaded four
horse wagons, nine: unloaded four
horse wagons, four: saddle horses,
ninety -six. and motor runabouts, one.
The patrolman was paid $00 a month
and .$1 a day extra whenever he used
two horses to drag the road. Ills pres
ence was required on the road from 8
a. in. until 4.-:!0 p. m.. with one-half
hour allowed for lunch.
The average cost of dragging last
year was $10 11 per mile for six and
a half months, which is at the rate of
$29.74 a mile for the first year of
twenty-four draggings. or approximate
ly $1.25 per mile for each dragging of
three round trips.
The use of the road drag has greatly
improved the daily condition of the
road and rendered it smooth and com
fortable for, travel for a greatly in
creased number of days in bad weather.
The department expects to continue
the experiment this year, for it is al
ready apparent that the entire eight
miles of road will show remarkable
improvement nnder the systematic
work of the partolman.
ROAD MAINTENANCE.
Keep the Improved Roads In Their
Present Condition.
The present year promises to be the
greatest in the history of the move
ment for the improvement of the pub
lic roads of the United States, accord
ing to the reports received from all
parts of the country. A joint commit
tee of congress is engaged in an inves
tigation of the feasibility of federal aid
in the construction, improvement and
maintenance of public highways, and a
number of the state legislatures now in
session are considering good road leg
islation. In connection with the gen
eral impetus that the good road move
ment has recently had In all parts of
the country, the director of the office
of public roads says:
"Too much stress cannot be laid upon
the importance of maintenance in con
nection with the work of Improving
the roads. The people in nearly all the
states are filled with enthusiasm for
road improvement and are spending
enormous sums of money in the con
struction of superb roads, and yet al
most without exception they are mak
ing . little provision to care for the
roads after they are built. This Is true
not only in the various counties, but
under , many of our state highway de
partments. "To maintain the roads in good con
dition year after year requires a con
siderable annual outlay, but this out
lay K infinitely less than the loss
which must fall upon the people event
ually if they allow their roads to go to
utter ruin. The thing Vor all advocates
of good roads to do Is to urge continu
ous, systematic maintenance and the
setting aside every year of an amount
per mile estimated by the engineer in
charge to be sufficient for. the proper
maintenance of the road a course
which must make for economy and ef
ficiency." WIDE VERSUS NARROW TIRES.
In the road Improvement discussion
the question of the advantages of wide
tires as compared with narrow tires is
always brought op. King's "Physics
of Agriculture" reports these differ
ences lh draft:
On macadam1 streets, wide tire 26 per
cent less than narrow tire.
On gravel road, wide tire 24.1 per
cent less than narrow tire.
On dirt roads, dry, smooth, free from
lust, .wide tire 26.8 per cent less than
iTow tire.
on clay road, with mud deep and
Iryiug on top and spongy beneath,
wide rire 52 to 61 per cent less than
narrow tire.
On meadow, pasture, stubble, corn
ground and plowed ground from dry to
wet. wide tire 17 to 50 per cent less
than narrow tire.

WOMEN ROAD WORKERS.'
Philippine Females Do as Much Work
as the Men on Highways.
One would .hardly think that a wo
man could ever outwear a man when
it comes to heavy road work, but such
Is nevertheless the case in the Phil
ippines. In the construction of the
Paoay-Currimao road it is recalled that
at one time there were approximately
500 women and girls employed daily,
notes the Engineering News. These
feminine workers, receiving from 20 to
25 or 35 centaVos per day. according
to their strength and ability, are most
efficient when materials for subgrade,
surfacing oc gravel and sand for con
crete are to be carried a short dis
tance. They tie up their skirts or
"pandling" to be less hampered as
they work and wield shovels, load,
carry and empty their baskets with
a zeal that outclasses the men.
In the construction of subgrade,
Paoay-Currimao road, it was required
to haul material about one-half a kilo
meter at one point. This was accom
plished with women workers. Men
loaded the baskets at the borrow pits.
They are carried on the head. '
As may be imagined, there is con
siderable talking done as the work pro
gresses, especially in the . afternoon,
when the women begin to tire. On
concrete work women are used to ad
vantage carrying sand, gravel and wa
ter. They are not strong enough to
mix concrete for any length of time,
so men are employed for that purpose.
The Secret of England's Fine Roads.
"What must impress every visitor to
England," said a man who had just re
turned from that country recently, "is
their wonderful country roads and city
streets.. Although I did considerable
touring, I did not find a single country
road nearly as rough as. our own city
boulevards, and the pavements of Lon
don are just as fine, although the traf
fic is very much heavier than in any
of our cities. It does not appear that
the English build much better street
pavements and roads than we do. The
secret seems to be in the fact that they
take care o them. Most of the streets
in London are paved with creosoted
block, and as soon as a small hole or
depression appears anywhere there Is
a man on the job repairing It. They
follow up these slight imperfections
immediately with small repair gangs
and outfits. A little fence is put around
the bad spot, and with their tiny kits
of tools and materials the men quick
ly replace the blocks with fresh ones
or relay them with new - foundations.
In a short time there Is no indication
of any break In the absolute smooth
ness of the pavement, and only the
fresh tar reveals the fact that the
pavement has been repaired. In this
way there is no chance for a pavement
or a country road to get into such a
conditio!) that it finally has to be re
laid, and this method also saves a
great deal of money."

Here Is a new way to make apple
dumplings that will surely please every

it. The biscuit part forms1- crispy
shell that holds the apples and juice. .-
