By THE VISITOR The grand old game of horseshoe throwin’ is not a thing of the past. In Indianapolis it is as popular as tennis, golf or checkers. There is such a demand for horseshoe throwing contests that the Y. M. C. A., on N. St., has sacrificed a tennis court for three horseshoe courts. On these squares or courts young men, and the older ones take keen delight in the afternoon and early evenings in lively contests. Pitching Builds Strength According to enthusiasts, horseshoe pitchin' makes the muscles of the right arm as strong as steel and it also makes the eye keen. This grard old sport is. a nerve tonic because a trembling hand doesn’t agree with a horseshoe. A 'keen eye and a strong right arm are two essentials to be a ‘‘dead ringer” in the horseshoe game. Among those who play at the Y. M. C. A. is Dr. C. H. Winders, executive secretary of the Indianapolis Church Federation. Some of the younger ones at the “Y” are of the opinion that they can beat ”Doc," and the result is frequent challenges. Parks Furnish “Squares” Several of the city parks have “squares” for this sport. Various neighborhoods have their champions, and there is talk of a city-wide championship tourney. Horeshoe pitching may not be as classy as golf or tennis, but it is a grand old game, nevertheless.

By United News WASHINGTON, July 24.—An army sizeable enough to guard every coal mine and every important railway terminal could be placed In the field on short notice by the United States Government, General Pershing t disclosed in a statement telling what could be done if the United States were invaded.

tkQf A" S^tm)e7 Bx cJ ac k ie (sp # My daddy’s an actor, too. He used to play in vaudeville. Ma and I traveled with him. One day I was waiting for him to finish his act. There was a man at the stage door selling ice cream cones. It was hot. The cones looked good. My daddy kept on singing. The audlenoe kept on applauding. But I kept on thinking about that cone. I got tired waiting. I walked out on the stage and yelled as loud as I could. I wanted a penny for that! cone. The people out front started laugh ! ing so loud daddy couldn’t hear me. 1 1 began laughing, too. Dad turned around, saw me, picked | me up by my middle and walked off j stage. I didn't get the penny. I got ] spanked. , One day I learned some pieces. “My | Madonna” was one: the other was | “The Shooting of Dangerous Dan Me- j Grew.” My daddy asked me if I would like J to recite them at one of the matinees. J I didn't want to—very much. I remembered how I’d been spanked for going on the stage before. But dad said that I wouldn’t get a spanking, but a salary—i Fifty cents a week! Our company traveled all over. Sometimes we had to sleep on trains. I used to think that it was great j fun to crawl behind the curtains and j go to sleep like a bird in a cage. But now I think it is lots more fun to sit up in the engine with the man who makes the train go. When I grow up I want to be an | engineer on the fastest train agoln'.
