Uniforms Have
Come to Stay
- Detroit, Mich., Sept. 24.?The uni&
form for women employees of the
Detroit postoffice has. come to stay.
William J. Nagle, postmaster, has
made the anonuncement after six
months' trial.
The uniform^ consisting of a full
length gray apron with sleeves and
white collar, was made compulsory
by Mr. Nagle last spring.
Mr. Nagle announced that all the
600 women employees of the postoffce
must wear the uniforms "because
many of the girls are spending too
much money on dress, because th?y
are attempting to outdo one another
in this regard, and because there is a
grave danger that such a practice
will lead to snobbery and thereby
lower efficiency in the Detroit postoffice."
When the order was announced a
number of employees registered protests
but according to Mr. Nagle aU
opposition has disappeared.
"The women have found they can
keep cleaner and do hpttor ii'
have been placed on a common level 1
because all look alik?|. ' Whatever I
snobbery there was has beep elim- t
inated. The Detroit postoffice now is 1
a thoroughly democratic institution." J

Lever for Better r

r
Honolulu, Sept. 2.?(By Mail).? C,
Japanese and Americans should make 1
the economic factor in Japanese rcla- r
tions in the Hawaiian islands a lever r
for better understanding, Instead of
permitting it to become a cause of ^
hostility and misunderstanding.
Baron N. Kanda of the Japanese
house of peers and one of the foremost
educators in the Japanese empire,
declared here during his service
as delegate to the Pan-Pacific Uuucation&l
conference.
"The 'economic penetration' of Hawaii
by Japanese does not constitute
a source of peril to the United
States," Baron Kanda said in commenting
upon a dispatch from Tokio,
quoting a letter written to Japan by
Takeo Yanaka, member of the Japanese
diet party which spent some
time here recently on its way to ,
Washington. Mr. Yanaka's letter
printed in the Tokio Jiji Shimpo, said c
that the authority and influence of p
America "are powerless in Hawaii be- t

altogether from the Hawaiian
islands because the islands have been

Mr. Yanaka's letter also expressed 0
the opinion that while "the United *
States has too many soldiers in Hatvaii,
the Japanese residents of the ^
stands welcome them because the
building of barracks to accommodate 8

Concerning this opinion Baron ^

<>eaky Things in
Baseball Players
New York, Sept. 26.?Unusual
"lays, brilliant performances of indiidual
players and freaky things have
ntered into many of the series for
he world's baseball championship.
>uch occurrences are recalled each
ear in fandom and lend to the specuative
interest in the championship
ames about to be played.
The outstanding feature of the seies
in 1908, in which the Chicago
Jubs defeated the Detroit Tigers, was
he hurling of Pitchers Overall and
Irown of the Cubs. Overall won two
ames, the second, in which he aljwer
three hits and won two to nothig.
Brown shut out the Tigers in the
ourth game, three to nothing. The
'igers getting but four hits off his
reird delivery.
In 1909, "Babe" Adams, the veteran
'ittsburgh hurler, won three games
or the Pirates, the first, fifth and
eventh, against Detroit. Hans Wager,
the Pirate shortstop, played brilantly,
as did Moriarity, the Detroit
hird-sacker.
Bender and Coombs pitched and
ron the entire series for the Athletics
gainst the Cubs in 1910. Coombs won
11 three games in which he staFted
nd Bender won one and lost one. Ed- ,
ie Collins performed briliantly afield
nd at bat for the Mackmen. The
ubs were favorites to win in the seies.
The home runs of Frank "Home,un"
Baker contributed largely to the
athletics victory over the Giant in
ne series of 1911. In the second
ame Baker's homer put the Athletics
i the lead and his homer in the third
ame tied the score after the Giants
ppeared to have the frame on ice.
Thrills aplenty were had in the 1912
ames between the Boston Red Sox
nd the New York Giants. In the
iffhth frame at Boston, on October 16,
ie score was tied in the ninth. The
iants scored one in the tenth and
id. Harry Hooper robbed them of a
.in that may have staved off defeat
y leaning over the fence and taking
oyle's long hit which would have
een a homer. Then disaster befell
ie Giants in Boston's half. Snodgrass
tuffed a long fly by Engle who bat?d
in place of Wood, the Boston hurr,
whose hand was injured in the
revious inning when he stopped
atcher Meyers' hard liner. Engle
>ok second on the muff. Snodgrass
len made a magnificent catch of
[ooper's fly which seemed good for
iree bases. Mathewson tried all his
inning to strike out Yerkes, and fail1,
Yerkes walking. Speaker hit the
rst ball pitched for an easy fcul
rhich should have been caught by
rst baseman Merkle. As it occurred
iter, by capturing this foul Merkle
rould have saved the game for the
iants for Spe*aker singled, sending
ngle across the pan with the tieing
in. Yerkes stopped at third. Garder
sent a long fly sacrifice to Deire
and Yerkes sped across with the
inning run.
In 1913, the Athletics won from the
iants again. One of the bright spots
this series was the great pitching
iel between Mathewson of the Giants
id Plank, of the Athletics, in the secid
game. The Giants won in the
nth inning, batting Plank for three
ins. Barry, Collins and Baker, the
reat Athletic infielders performed
ell. Bender pitched Philadelphia to
ctory in two games.
The Boston Braves, who had made
great fight in the National League
id won their way from the cellar to
le pennant, upset all dope in 1914
f winning four games straight from
te world's champion Athletics. Lite
Jfohn Evers pulled one of) the
reatest "bone-head" plays in world's
tries history in the tenth inning of
ie third game. With the bases full,
aker hit a hard grounder to John
>hn juggled the ball and looked dumb
hile two men crossed the plate.
The hitting, and fielding of George
uffy Lewis featured the 1915 series
jtween the Boston Red Sox and the
hilndelphia Nationals. He drove in
peaker with the Sox's only run in the
ghth inning, first game. In the
>urth game his two-bagger sent
;ross the winning run for Boston in
ie sixth inning. He collected three of
is team's six hits off Alexander in the
lird game which the Sox won in the
inth on his single which drove in a
in. More than 43,000 persons wit
eased the game.
Harry Hooper, of the Boston Red
ox, the same player who saved his
(am the series in 1912 by catching
oyle's long hit as it went over the
nee, played a brilliant game for his
am in the series of 1916 against
rooklyn. He batted 333_and played
msationally afield. His hits were all
mely and contributed to the Red Sox
Ictory.
"Babe" Ruth, now the home-run
hampion and a member of the New
ork Yankees, pitched the Red Sox to
vo victories over the Chicago Cubs in
918. Tyler's' pitching and hitting
Iso helped the Sox to win the series,
arl Mays, who also is a member of
le Yankees this vear. won two comes
>r Boston by his Airtight hurling.
Last year the triple play made hy
fambganss of Cleveland in the fifth
ining of the fifth game against
irooklvn: Elmer Smith's homer with
iree on in the first inning of the fifth
ame and Bagby's homer with two on
\ the fourth inning of the same game

manager played well.

Tha growing demand for good roads
In the South has provoked considerable
discussion as to the cheapest nnd
most durable types of pavement.
Statistics show that for hard surfaced
roads the asphaltlc types are In greatest
general use. The popularity of
these types, especially those of the
sheet asphalt, the asphaltlc concrete
and asphaltlc macadam, Is due to their
long wearing qualities, resiliency
against truffle Impact, duetlessness,
nolselessness, cleanliness and low cost
of upkeep. Brick and concrete roads
have also developed as have the
wooden block and "rnnlte block types.
The most recent available figures give
42.11 per cent of the surfaced roads In
the United States as being of gravel,
25.22 j>er cent as macadam, 1?.10 per
cent sand-clay, 10.93 per cent asphalt
and other bituminous materials, 3.91
I*?r cent concrete nnd 0.02 per cent
brick. The flgures for the asphaltlc
and hrlek types,?a total of 15.53 per
cent show the extent to which city
types of pavement have been adopted
In the rural d'strlcts.
The types most favored In the chles
not only for paved streets but for improved
roads, Included not only the
asphaltlc types hut those of brick Ind
macadam. Brick Is highly desirable
but more costly than some types.
Macadam Is a satisfactory type when
combined with an asphalt binder which
makes the road dustless and prevents
ravelling. It costs but little more than
the old type of macadam since the cost
of sprinkling with water Is eliminated.
Portland cement concrete Is not resilient
hut It forms an excellent foundation
for the resilient surfaces. When
used with an asphalt filler brick Is
seml-resillent. Asphalt surfaces have
an average life ranging from 20 to 25
years and foundations, If thus protected,
should last not less than thirty
years. When a foundation Is covered
with a shock absorbing surface that
recei.e? the Impact of heavy traffic
the base need not I* so thick, thus
affordlnar a material economy..
