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

BANDON BEACH
By Dorothy Whitney, Coquille, Oregon.
On. 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;

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.

Subsidiary Bodies Obey the
Instructions of Dail
Eirmeann
DUBLIN. 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.

BUDAPEST. Feb. s. 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.
