Mrs. Holman conceived the idea ol writing tip the games in a humor ous, George Ade-Ring Lardncr sort of style for the Chinese 'dail ies. The "China ! Tress", the largest newspaper in China, ac cepted her manuscript with avidity, the series! being very popular with the admirers of the American sport. 'Mrs. Holman m Mis Viola Verkler before her marriage. One of the articles follows: Well; girls. I've been asked to write something about baseball for this paper, and while I don't know much about the game, I will undertake to make a few re marks, as I've nothing else to do. Why! they should pica on me to write this particular story. 1 do not know unless it is because my husband plays on the team. I do not even know of any good rea son why he should play baseball, as he never gets anything out of it except sprained fingers, wrists and a game leg now and then. I've often asked him why he preferred playing ball to staying at home and keeping me company. h alwav answer that he has to Give a "Record" for a VALENTINE PRESENT A big stock to select from Slioe Expert Joins Our Staff We have secured the services of Mr. S.

Umpire Are Mean Well, I Trent to the games this last week to watrh the V. of C. Glee club and Shanghai teams play. I didn't care ao much for the ball games themselves, as I did to see those nice looking: boys, and I think it was real mean of the umpires not to give them one of the games. I noticed that the people who sat aronnd me in the grandstand, seemed to be very familiar with the players, calling them by their first names. One man, who sat near me. seemed to be more rude than the others 1 heard him say. "Oh you bonehead." I don't know who he meant I have been intro duced to all (ft the players, but never remember meeting anyone by that nrme. A little later on I heard this man say "Bills stole second." Now I've met Mr. Bills, and he certainly doesn't look like a man who would steal. Probably the man had been drinking. A Suggestion Yjou know, baseball is all rlJtht anrr exciting enough at times, but I think if they were to have a canaret singer come out and do a good lively jazzy number, or a hula hula dancer once in a while, between innings, it wonld help immensely there would be more "pep" to the game also more neople in the grandstand. This is only a suggestion, and maybe I am wrong, but it seems to me It Is kind of tiresome watching a ball game all afternoon. To tell you the truth I don't believe I saw much of a ball game; I met a lady friend out there, who had brought the lat est Vogue fashion book with her. She only came out to please her husband. Well, we spent most of the afternoon with the fashions but now and then' got a glimpse of the game when that 'awfully rude man who had evidently tak en too mnch liqnor, would shout nut some loud and horribly insult ing remark to one of the players. One thing. I think Doctor Downs who is manager, or what ever you call It. of the team, should see to. is t have plenty of baseball suits on hand, because one time when Mr. Wllholt was running to second base, he fell down and tore his trousers. It was a sad accident, of course.. but the worst part of it was he had to play all the rest of the afternoon in that torn suit. . which took something from his dignity, and I'm sure took his mind from his playing. . Another Mistake Oh yes. I want the baseball New Spring WALL PAPER -Now Ready Call and Get a Free Sample Book MAX 0. BUREN 179 N.

Bandon Beach the waves roll in, And land and sea their war begin: The age-long war of sea and land. Dark, battered crags in witness stand Of ocean's might and breakers reach j On Bandon Beach. On Bandon Beach the wind comes down And shouts defiance at the frown Of silent cliffs; flings high the spray And boasts of triumphs far away, And roars to drown the seagull's screech On Bandon Beach. Amazed, our complex natures see The ocean's vast simplicity. No greater truths can man discern . Than here with eager minds we learn; The secrets that the sea can teach On Bandon Beach (Republished by courtesy of The Oregon Teachers' Monthly) public to know one thing more. I heard a remark out there that Holman had a glass arm; I hap pen to be in a position to know that neither one of his arms is glass. Such remarks are very unnecessary unless one is quite positive. Anyway, how could a man play baseball with a glass arm? It's absolutely absurd. But of course it takes all orts of peo ple to make up a world. Along towards the end of the game, everybody stood up. 1 know it is customary to stand, when a national anthem is being played, but I never heard any kind of music. However. I was n't sorry as I needed to stretch and yawn a bit; those seats. were beginning to get pretty hard. This is about all I could see that happened at the baseball game anyway, I've got a party on. GEMUi SEA TRADE IS Millions of Marks Have Gone Into Ship-Building . Contracts HAMBURG Germany, Feb. 9. Despite lackof tonnage, short age of coal, labor troubles and a depdeciated currency, . German shipping interests have begun an Intensive campaign to revive pre war sea trade. Millions of marks have already gone Into important shipbuilding contracts. Hugo Sttnnes, reputed to be the wealthiest man in the new repub lic, and a heavy shoreholder in a number of shipping companies, is reported to be attempting to xtend his influence, which is now the controlling factor in the Ger man East Africa' line and the Woermann line, and an important factor in the affairs of the Ham burg-American line. Regular steamship services with America. South America, East Africa, Mexico, Cuba, Spain, Portugal, Australia and Mediter ranean and Scandinavian ports, hare been re-established and the North Sea, Baltic and Rhine traf fic has assumed a new and lively aspect. .Handicapped by shortage of ships the Germans have turned their attention to conversion of warships to commercial usages, the construction of motor ships out of sailing vessels, and to the study of oil fuel as a substitute for the m; exoensive coal fuel. Revival of German commerce is indicated by the increased num ber of ships calling at the more important ports. During the first 11 months of 1920, 4369 Tea sels of a tonnage of 3,892,240 arrived at Hamburg, as compared with 1854 vessels and 1.303.629 tons in 1919, and 1 3, $ 7 5 vessels of 13.006.426 tons in the first 11 months of 1913. The majority of these vessels, however, are sailing under freign flags. This conimlttte may have access to thso plans and mates.

Feb. 9 Tb Dail Eireann. the Sinn Fein parliament in the minds of aa overwhelming majority of the Irish people con tinues as the dominant the only legitimate authority in Ireland. It Is treated as an authoritative body. None of the municipal or county bodies which pledges al legiance to it have withdrawn from that position. The Dail Eircfhn's instructions are obeyed by these subsidiary bodies and all dealings with the Irish local government board, which represents the British gov ernment, are barred. For thl reason the board is unable to make its customary audit of coun ty and city accounts. The result is increasing in difficulty in every district. -Rate," or tax. collectors are faced with two sets of instruc tionsone from British govern ment representatives, or the local government board; the other rrom local Sinn Fein authority. A king's bench decree, designed to compel these collectors to obey the law, has - been unavailing. Obedience or crown instrnctions, in many cases, would doubtless bring severe punishment, if not death, to the collector. Tax collecting, needless to say, is not brisk. The balances in lo cal treasuries are proving insuf ficient to enable authorities to maintain public institutions. In Sligo, banks have refused to per mit overdrafts, and there is no money to pay the contractors who are therefore withdrawing their services. Patients In hospitals are without sufficient food and the inmates of the poorhouse are in a similar plight The chairman of the board of aldermen approved the sugges tion of Dail Eireann that leading jnen of the city be asked to ad vance 50 each to relieve the situation, but there was no re sponse. , In Queen's county, the greater part of the taxes of the county, amounting to about XCO.000. re mains uncollected, and the re sources of the county are ex hausted. Involving serious conse quences to the lunatic asylum and several hospitals. The coun ty council at its meeting resolved to ask the advice of Dail Eireann. They have no doubt of its abil ity to mee. and are willing to act upon its Instructions. At Bray, an important seaside suburb within 12 miles or Dublin, an attempt' was made by a mem ber or the town council to get out of financial troubles by re scinding a resolution acknowl edging allegiance to Dail Eireann, but he did not find a seconder.

Many ot the poor people or this city are being driven to wholesale thiev ery by the fuel shortage. The re cent theft of 25 carloads of wood from one train of 100 cars as it entered the city, shows the ex tent to which the stealing is go ing on. Wood is so scarce than when a wagonload is drives through the streets people stop and gaze after It until it is out of sight. Daring smalt boys are ever on the alert for a stray piece of wood or anything that will give heat at home. They scamper after every passing wood wagon but are roon frightened away by long whips in the hands of two women who sit on guard, astride the load. The operation of unloading a ton of Hungary's inferior brown coal before a bouse attracts many neighbors who make a pathetic picture as they watch basketful after basketful disappear into the coal bin of the more fortunate one. Because of the urgency to ob tain fuel by dishonest means, if honest one are of no avail, the juvenile courts were never so crowded with -youthful offenders. The scarcity of fuel arose more acute dally as winter advances. The street railway service has been sharply curtailed and people wait lor hours exposed to theblt ter cold. The worst operated Am erican street car never tolerated such crowding. Gas factories are provided with coal for only 24 hours at a time and the gas is turned on now at noon and after 6 o'clock only, one light is permitted In a room and not more than three rooms In a house or single apartment may be lighted at the same time. Even at the most expensive hotels there is no running hot water. Saturday Is bathing day. On other days baths can only be had at the public baths for which Bud apest is famous. One of the latest and most dras tic steps of the new government is the deportation of undesirable citizens, those suspected of Bol shevik tendencies or who are known to be opposed to the pres ent form of government. Hund reds of these have come to Hun gary since the outbreak of the war. Now their houses and flats are being commandeered and are turned over to homeless refugees from Transylvania and other sec tions who . have been living In trelght cars in the railroad yards. The majority of the people have parted company with the last cf their Jewelry and the dealers from other lands are not- getting many takers of their offers of fabalous prices for gold and silver. For pure gold 250.000 crowns a kilo gram is offered with no takers. The explanation is that most - of the gold has been smuggled to other, countries where the money has more value. The Hungarian newspapers print a warning to 150.000 labor ers ot Hungarian origin in the United States to desist from their reported intention to return to their native land at this time. The papers say that the economic crisis in America can never be as bad as it is here and urged their countrymen not to further embarrass Hungary's unemploy ment problem.
