The prime mover in the Swedish 11 campaign to pet together with the United States is It. A. Nordvall, high ^ commissioner to the United States . during the war. Professor Svante j Arrhenius, one of Sweden's well- ^ known scientists was elected presiI dent of the Sweden-American Foundot ion which will continue its program for cultivating cordial relation- ^ -hip and cooperation between Ameri- ^ ca and Sweden. , . _ t 1J Problems of German Housewives of Today u Holding May 22.?Problems which t] face (lorman housewives today are il- <3 lust rated by a comparative table pub- fj lished in a weekly paper devoted to ^ the interests of civil servants. Th a table shows what could be bought for sums rsinging from one to 1,000 tl marks in 1014 and at the present time jr in paper currency. u One silver pre-war mark would fill p 1 market basket for it would buy si d pound of flour, a pound of sugar, one tj pound of salt, live pounds of pota- e toes, two pints of milk, sin egg and n a herring. d The paper mark of today buys just itie onion. t< For three marks in 11)14 one could d buy 100 pounds of potatoes; todsty w three-ipisirter of si pound of potatoes if they sire obtainable sit all. h Seven "old" marks wsis the price f. of 1 1 yards of linen. Now it is the si price of a dusting cloth. if In 1D14, a 200-pound pig fetched is loo marks. Today, one pays the si nme amount for two pounds of bsi- h con. I' Three hundred marks used to be a tl fair siverage monthly salary. Now 1< ?ne pays thsit much for two pounds of w poor butter. A four-room apartment could be rented eight years ago for 1.000 <" marks; now it is the price of a plain u kitchen dresser (cabinet). " The hi^h cost of living affects all (ierman towns. Municipal statistics ('i show that while in Berlin the prime ^ necessities of life are 220 times the pre war price, in Bremen, Karsruhe, P' I.uheck, Ludwi^shafen and Schwerin they cost 250 times as much, and at Worms and Pulda mono thnn 200 times as much as just before the M "??' ni Cotton Infected With Boll 'j Weevils to be Confiscated Mexico City, May 22.?The federal Ti government has issued a decree which permits the confiscation of cotton in- If footed with boll weevil. aj abe Ruth Takes Up Bludgeon Now York, May 22.?11is penance \ 11 performed, Babe lluth, the prodigal r >n of Swat, took up his bludgeon yes rday, as the New York Yankees opned a long home series at the I'olo rounds with Kenneth Williams, the . .uthian Loehnivar fiom out of the /est, trying to make his 1922 Metro- , olitan debut the beginning of a fadeut for George Herman. Since he has read of the ball-slam- , ling prowess of Williams, since he as been shown that the Yankees are . lore than a "one man" club, since he . as found that Commissioner Kenesaw _ I. Landis means to enforce the rules nd since he has discovered what it leans not to be allowed to play, it is eported that Ruth's uniform?includ- ^ lg his cap?fits better. r But regardless of the intrepidity of , Ir. Williams, who seems intent upon alloping past the Babe's highwater lark of 59 home runs for hist seaon; regardless of the fact that Ruth as a "record"?as a baseball Shertckk, if one there was, would term 1, the Krowned King of Klouters is till the pride of Harlem and the bigest baseball drawing card the world as ever known. In the view of many fans the attiude that Ruth has displayed since reeiving his "sentence" from Conimisioner Landis, the quiet manner in " vhich he has conducted himself, his nlliness to "play the game" and his | pparent determination to make up I ?t l! - 1 1 -- r rL! -.- II 1 ?* or lost. 11iiiir?<111 01 iius win ormg is many people to the ball yards to ee him this year as did last. According to those who have the >ambino's confidence he has been elat- < <1 over the fast pace the Yanks have f et without him in the line-up and now j hat he knows that he is a trifle more ^ aluable as a magnet to the box-office Kan as a counter in the total scoring ' ;e will attempt more than ever to be ' nore of n first-class baseball player | ind a more diligent purveyor of satisaction to fandom in general. Ruth's appearance in the line-up tonorrow will mark his first appearance ' n a league game this year, .'18 days ifter the opening of the season and vith one-fourth of the season gone, :ecessitates Ruth slamming out one lomerun at least every other day and hree on one day to surpass his record if last year. The Babe was banished last fall ?y Commissioner Landis together with tob Meusel, another Yank whose ichievement of getting 24 homeruns ast year is seldom thought of, for laying an exhibition game with the >uialo International League team afer the world series had ended, in vioation of the rule that prohibits world eries players from indulging in such xhibitions. Not only did Ruth and Meusel vioate the rule but they did it after Commissioner Landis hi^d perso^a^ alked with Ruth and told him what i'ould happen in case the rule was vioated. After that conversation Ruth xpressed his determination to flout 1 he commissioner, and Landis, meet- I ng the most severe test of his baseall career, foreshadowed what his deision would be by saying: "It will be a personal issue betvyeen tilth and me to determine which man < bigger in baseball." With the ays' suspension over it looks to baseall fandom as if Landis is convinced hat T.andis is the bigger and that tuth also is so convinced. As soon as he had flouted Landis, tuth was sorry, but he "had gone and one it." Full of remorse and forecdings, Ruth hopped back to New . "ork, swore repentcnance and took a est. Soon the Landis decision came long and Babe became quiet?quiet ntil Colonel Huston, part owner of he Yankees, found him at Hot iprings and got the Babe to sign a ve-year contract c illing for between 75,000 and $100,000 a year flat salry. Babe went to the training camp with j he club and played in ihe exhibition ciirouie noiuo j.iui at nome, mil | h'-n the club opened in Washington . hith sat in the grandstand like Presient Harding. Since then he has praciced <>(T and on, read the papers, trav- 1 lied a bit, played golf, undergone a < linor operation, and become glum and 1 owneast, anticipatory and happy. He donned his uniform again, "bet- ( !*r balanced," as Commissioner lain is, who is now his very good friend, rould say. Ruth, unquestionably the greatest itter of all time, has batted out 75 omeruns in the last six years. He | cored four in 1915, three in 1910, two i 1917, 11 in 191K, 29 in 1919?breakig the then world's record, 54 in 1920, nd 59 last year?a total of 152. His omerun hitting has become so profic that it was suggested last season lat he be handicapped by being al?vved only two strikes or to bat only ith one hand. few expect that he will come near tualling last year's mark, let alone >tablish a new record, considering lat one-fourth of his playing time for io year is gone, although on May 20 I st year, Ruth had collected only 12 I rcuit smashes, approximately one fth of his total in one-fourth of his I me. His attempt, however, will sup- j ly interest for the lading period of 1 >g days. * An net recently passed by the Ar- * entine parliament prohibits the con- j jmption of alcoholic beverages in iy building >ccupied by a firm em- ^ loying women, persons under IK, or J lildren. ?

The Red troops, who some weeks ago scored a number of victories over the counter-revolutionists in the Amur district, are now declared to be advancing deliberately in the direction of Vladivostok, with the intention of forcing Japan either to help the anti-Soviet forces openly, or to open the road to the coast. The Wakikuyu tribe of East Africa believe that death is "catching," and therefore that no one should touch a dead person. If one of the tribe is about to die, he is carried out of the village by his relatives and is left to die in the open.
