SURVEYS HELP WORKERS In order to save workingmen from Hi health resulting from insanitary w or King conditions and to save manu facturers from incurring claims from damages it is necessary for the public health service to examine physically both the workmen and the plant in which they work. Some manufacturers and many workmen fear examination, believing that it will be used to make trouble for them, and not realizing that undiscovered defects in eitner plant or man will surely lead to serious results. To such the public health service says that it is strictly neutral and that it will not "tell tales". Its object is to improve the health of the men and to enable the factory to save money by making its employes healthy by giving them healthy working conditions. Order your Fall Suit now.

MAJOR LEAGUE GAME 1

MISSES POSTPONEMENT BY NARROW MARGIN (By Associated Pr,ws NEW YORK, - Aug. 18. A mulled outfield fly was responsible for the postponement of one of the major league games on account of rain yesterday. Had Wheat, of the Brooklyn Nationals, made a succesful catchy there would have been three St. Louis men retired instead of two when rain came down heavily in the fifth inning, and the Superbas would have won, 3 to 1. A home run by Johnston was wiped off the records by the storm. Johnny Walker, of the Philadelphia Athletics was seriously injured when struck in the head by a ball batted by & Cleveland player. The accident occurred "exactly one year from the death of Ray Chapman of the Indians after being struck by a pitched ball. The two major league home run leaders increased their totals! Both of the New York Americans made h'3 45th and Kelly of the New York Nationals his 20th. . " Not a Cincinnati player reached first base in the 5 1-3 innings twirled by Pat Shea, a New York National youngster. Pitcher Scott and Catcher Gibson of the Boston Nationals made home runs but the Braves lost to Chicago on Scott's wild throw. Chips and Slips George Kelly, of the Giants, hit his twentieth circuit drive of the season in the game with Cincinnati, Wednesday. The bases were loaded in the first inning when Kelly delivered. Bancroft hit for a homer in the second inning. Honors to Chapman. The first anniversary of the death of Ray Chapman, former Cleveland American League shortstop, was observed at Dunn field, Wednesday. Every one entering the park for the game between Cleveland and Philadelphia was given a rose in memory of "Chappie," who died a year ago yesterday after being struck by a pitched ball in a game at the Polo Gronuds. Mr. Babe Ruth, the king of swat, smacked out his forty-fifth home run of the season in the sixth inning of the Chicago-New York game Wednesday. It was estimated the ball traveled a distance of 475 feet before hitting the ground. This is said to be the longest hit ever delivered in the major leagues. ' Hot-Stuff for Keck. Stanley Keck, captain of the Prince ton eleven, will be ready for tne whistle this fall. . Despite' the heat of midsummer, he is working daily in moleskins at Chicago. He is spending the summer with Mark' Bates, Princeton freshman last year. Every dav they go through a rigid training program. . They tackle the dummy, practise line bucking and goal kicking. Keck proved himself great enough last fall to be named on the AllAmerican. He'll be even greater this fall. Wahoo Can't Retire. Out on the Pacific coast Wahoo Sam Crawford, once a super-star of Hughie Jennings' old miracle Detroit team, is getting his .base hits for the Los Angeles club. Wahoo Sam is getting old. Each year he plans to retire from basetall. As regularly as the leaves come in spring and disappear in fall he announces his aims. But he is still it it. He loves to hit. He always did. And he always could. As long as Sam can crack out base hits he's going to be in uniform. Baseball is a hard racket to quit as long as your batting eye connects.

To Stop Rooster Crowing Try These Two Remedies - (From the Philadelphia Inquirer) Two Los Gatos, Cal., ciUzens are making bida for. fame. Both assert they can stop roosters crowing. "For weeks the trustees have been receiving petitions from residents who say ' their slumbers are disturbed by the bra2en-voiced birds. , And then came Zedd Jiggs, real estate dealer. ' , "Put 'wing cuffs on them." he said, and proudly produced a "cuff" that will keep a rooster's wings close to his sides. . - "A rooster must flap his wings when he crows." said Riggs, "and if he can't flap he don't crow." The George Shaner took issue, with Riggs. v , .-, - "A rooster can crow even if he can't flap his wings." he said; "but be has j to stretch his neck to crow. Now, I've j got a check rein that makes a rooster carry his head a little backward. It not only keeps him from stratching, but he looks mighty proud. when he walks. I've tried it out and it's a success."
