HOW

New*' Feeble Attempt to

lfVv JLob Yankee of Sewing Machine Invention.

,» 'The centenary of the birth of Elias "Howe, the modest Yankee who Invented the gewing machine, took place on jTune 9. There was no extended observance of the day, yet it was Howe ."Who took a good deal of the drudgery ©u.t of the lives of millions of American women. He also increased the power of his fellow men to produce garments and other material that formerly needed the patient handwork lt individuals. i But it is interesting to observe, in

Connection with this anniversary, that

sthe

Savannah News undertakes the /Irather hopeless task of trying to eon- ., %inc« its readers that it was not «OWe, but a Georgian, Fra-ncis 'R.

Goulding, who constructed and operfeted the first sewing machine Tliis ypaper says that this man, a Presbyterian preacher living in Liberty county, married a Savannah girl and then began work on a sewing machine in order that he might save his fair wife tnuch hard work. Alleging this waa long before Howe patented his machine, and also that Goulding never patented his, they try to show his motivea were purely altruistic and not Commercial.

It all sounds good, but it will take considerable "space" in the Georgia (newspapers to convince the world that 'Ooulding takes the prize.—Hartford, iConn., Courant.

PINKIES TIED THE BLUES.

^1®foomer Girls of Ordnance Department Played Exciting Ball Game.

Girls In bloomers slamming the pill In the gloaming, going out on strikes, running on flies, walking on tours, stealing bases, batting the air, slid,«'|ng to first. Score, 15-15 dispute, footers siding with the Pinkies, declaring decision a steal by one run—

IPinkies and Blues fighting it out the fiext day in the ordnance department of your Uncle Samuel. Time, ®:30 o'clock scene, lower taseball grounds Central park. Game called on account of darkness. "'f Poor girls! Eighteen of them in the 'yprdnance department the next day feeling as If they had been horseback "tiding for the first time. Seven inklings they played, the inspection di-

Vision girls on one side fend the property division nine on the other. They i knew what it is to be a professional twirler the following morning.

But they were game. Only three Iweeks have they been at it, and there lire three teams already in the department. They had an audience wnich looked like a straw hat sale at the *»penirsr Of summer. Men formed the greater part of the audience, but they, ^ith their knowledge of the game, Bida't fear these baseball girls.

Every bloomer girl wore silk stock^ings, and there wasn't a wrinkle In ^any bit of hos% It was 6:30 o'clock

When the teams walked out rrom the •clubhouse amid the huzzas of the assemblage, carrying their bats and balls and gloves. There wasn't a ^•jpowder puff to be seen. They had been left behind in the clubhouse, the -•.captains seeing to that. Ella Goldberg afor the Pinks, proceeded to show that \t, Tshe was some twirler, for if she did throw overhaild a little bit, she show...pd some curves as well as form, and it anight be said right yiere that all the girls showed good form.

A Helen Kellner, captain, and In the DO* for the Pinks, is a southpaw who s. can sur"e put them over, and in the (second inning retired them one, two, three, amid great noise and dancing and clapping of hands. "May Dot"

Shanahan relieved her once or twice and what she did with the pill intensiNlfled the color of the Blues.

highly the endeavor on the

put of the eltUem' committee

tor

Vigo county to raise the a am of 015,000 for the home aervlce work of the Salvation Army In oar own community during the ensuing year.

The work of the Salvation Army, nmong our boya and the men of the allied armies, hM been one of the greatest exempllcatloaa of tta aenne

high christian duty, fulfilled without any Idea whatsoever of personal reward nnd a total disregard of personal sacrifice. Kvery returning soldier lauds this organization highly. It behooves us as loyal nnd patriotic cltlsens to see that the Salvation Army, as an organisation, Is furnished the funds needed to permit them to continue the work so well begun.

I trust that the member* of this community will respond liberally at this time, and that Vigo county and Terre Haute goes over the top with the least possible delay. Yours sincerely,

Mayor of the City of Terre Haute.

ond in a manner that would have made Muggsey McGraw blink-twink. Then when Eklith came in she said mournfully: "Just look at my hands and I had my nails manicured." "What! for the gamewas asked. "Oh, no Wednesday night." "Why Wednesday night?" "Oh, that's beau night." And she smiled and went to the bat.

The first fly that touched the sky brought forth a wonder of cries and screams and shrieks. "Helen! Dorothy Marcia!" Get it, Freda! Grab It, Mollle!" O-h-h! Oh! O-h-o-h!" The ground got it.

At the end of the fifth inning the score stood 10 to 7 in favor of the Pinks and then it was discovered that the Blues had been playing with ten men—no, one man and nine girls, for both backstops were men—and it was a rule of the game that a man could not make more than one base at a time. The Pinks didn't know what to do about the discovery, and as Pearl Davis and Jessie Goldstein, the two shortstops, wouldn't think of retiring, nothing was done.

Miss Davis showed the next minute that it wasn't on the cards for her to retire, for she picked up the bat and tore the cover pil the ball for a two-bagger. She's a ball smasher as well as a heart smasher and she's some baseball girl. But she was a delight in the first inning, where she was first up. She walked, and then appeared to be indifferent about leaving first where she stuck until another girl -was walked, and she just had to go to second. Then she walked leisurely to third and stopped halt way because she couldn't locate the bag. And she got home at that.

Gladys Connaughty was out in left garden for the Blues. Connie is some ball tosser herself and she ought to be, for her papa in the old days was a big leaguer.

The play manager and coacher and starter for all the teams is E. F. Bond of the ordnance department, himself some ball player, who started the baseball fever among the girls. Captain Humphries of the inspection division and Lieutenant Sjolburg of the property division are giving as much of their time to the game as possible and more girls are buying bloomers and silk stockings.-—New York "World.

WORKED IN SHIPYARDS AT 104.

Centenarian Son of Fifth U. 8. President Served In Two Wart, Of all the men and women in our country who have gone beyond the three score and ten years of the accepted allotted span of life, none is more Interesting than Major James Monroe, fifth president of the United States.

That a son of the fifth president of the United States should be living is proof that ours is still a very young republic. This remarkable man was 104 years old on the fourth day of July.

He was born in Richmond, Va., in the year 1815, and he does not appear to be any older than some men a quarter of a century younger tnan he. He had a sister who lived to be 105 years old.

He is a veteran of the Mexican and civil wars and had enthusiasm enough to offer his services to the government in the war with Germany. His work in the shipyards is, in a way, service for his country, as he took the place of a younger man released for war service when he entered upon it.

He was but 12 years old when his father died. Worry does not enter into Major Monroe's philosophy of life. He is of the opinion that it is inimical to longevity and he knows that it lessens the joy of life. That other enemy of old age. high living, has never had a chance to shorten his years.

What Bankers Think Of Clearing House

The greater number of banks are In favor of establishing a clearing house in Terre Haute, not alone for the convenience which it will mean in making each day's clearings in a more general way at one time, but also for the prestige it will give to Terre Haute, the only city of like size without such a commodity. Through a clearing house plan the outside public in other cities may know what sort of financial and banking business is accomplished daily in Terre Haute in comparison to other cities. The business men of the city believe that Terre Haute equals, If It does not exceed most of the other cities in this way, and that such a fact should be made public for the betterment of Terre Haute. That the clearing house be established with a minimum cost, and that great benefit and greater safety would be granted through the plan.

Banks could make out an individual sheet of their clearings On the different banks, and at a stated hour for clearing, preferably before noon each day, the representative could present the sheet at the clearing house and a balance could be struck In a few minutes, sort of doing such business in a wholesale manner, rather than visiting individual banks carrying sums of any amount which Is a risk, in spite of the fact that ail such messengers are bonded and insured. That no separate room would need be secured to establish such a plan, but that room in one of the larger banks could be set aside for this work, and that some lawyer could be secured to take charge of the business each day for the protest fees, which could be handed to him. Such a plan has successfully worked out in other cities, like Fort Wayne, South Bend and others.

The talk of a clearing house has been rife for several years back, and one meeting held during the ttme of the first Liberty Loan drive, at which time Harry Schlotzhauer, chairman, 8.

R. McKeen and John Crawford were appointed as a committee to investigate the plan and to call another meeting. The loans, however, #put a stop to any effort, and it has only been "within the last several days that the plan of establishing a clearing house has arisen. In all probability, another meeting will be called at an early date.

To quote some of the bankers, the following hare expressed themselves as follows:

James S. Royse—I am certainly most heartily in favor of a clearing house. It means more to the banks and the town than ran be expressed in a few words. It does away with the carrying of so much money through the streets by messengers, who are in danger of being robbed and on whom the banks are compelled to carry insurance. .Practically all cities of like size have clearing houses, and why should Terre Haute be behind the times. The total volume of business done in Terre Haute can be demonstrated to the rest of the country, and the good of Terre Haute should he at the heart of every move made by her citizens, for what is good for the city is the better for me and everybody in it. It seems to me it would be the best thinjr in the world for the bankers to get together on this proposition. It has been needed for a long time.

Harry Schlotzhauer We should have it by all means. Bankers in other cities of lesser size have seen the need of a clearing house, and the bankers here should get together on the proposition by all means.

S. R. McKeen—We will go 111 on the clearing house, provided every other bank does, and that it is conducted on the regulation plan. Me« Keen bank will not stand out against anything that all other banks adopt.

D. Russ Wood—I have been for a

clearing house for a number of years, and have worked on the plan. It means a fine thing for the bankers themselves, as well as Terre Haute. It would take but a short time each day to complete the clearings, and could be done with very little expense.

G. A. Gagg—Personally, I think th.-tt a clearing house would be an excellent thing for Terre Haute, as well as fop the banks. Manufacturers who con* template coming to Terre Haute to locate wish to see the record of bank clearances, and it would centralize th® information and make it easily obtainable.

John L. Thompson, Xtidlana Stats Bank—It would be a good thing for the banks, most of all, as it would save running around all over town to nuike clearances every day, and would centralize everything in the way Of business information.
