NEW YORK, March 23. — The pros
pect of the entry by the United States
Into the war Is doing good foi base

the national game is giving It a stimu

Baseball seemingly is reaching (ho
most rational level II has touched since
the Athletics used to clock off a pen
pant a season. Federal leagues are
dead and forgotten and Dave Fultz
has long since ceased to clutter up at
atmosphere and the magnates' dreams
with threats of what the baseball play
ers' fraternity will do.

NEWPORT, R. I., March 22. — A
campaign for more sleep and less
drink among the society debutantes
at this fashionable resort was spon
sored here today by Mrs. Joseph M.
Gazzam, of Philadelphia.
Rlshop Rhinelander Is expected to
call a meeting soon to further the
idea; and he Is backed In this city
by Illshop Garland and Or. Floyd \V.
Tompkins.
Mrs. Gazzam feels there is entirely
too much wine drinking among young
girls during their first season In so
ciety. She also condemns the dance
I ill dawn and late supper Idea.
These practices, Mrs. Gazzam main
| tains, are apt to undermine the girl's
health and the example set Is likely to
| lead to emulation on the part of the
, other young girls all over the country.

ERECTED II
(By Associated I’ress)
DENVER. March 22. — High tip on
Lookout mountain, near here, over
looking the four states which wit
nessed his greatest activity, a monu
ment to Colonel William E. Cody —
1 “Buffalo Bill" — now seems nssured,
according to announcement of the
Cody memorial association. The as
sociatlon says that several other or
ganizations already have undertaken
the collection of funds for the monu
ment.
The spot on the mountain top where
the famous plainsman is to find his
last resting place already has been ap
proved by the family. This approval
has stimulated the coordination of all
efforts to obtain a sufficient fund to
construct a monument worthy of the
scout who helped to open up the-vast
territory west of the Mississippi
river.
The formal burial ceremonies will
take place on next Memorial Day,
when the body will be borne from here
to the rock hewn tomb on the top of
the mountain. It will be burled with
the full ritualistic service by the
Knights Templar.

BK In view
of Hie food shortage throughout the
country, Berea college, in the great
mountain region of the south, is mak
ing a special effort to develop the sur
rounding mountain land. Berea’s chief
endeavor is being made through a two
year course in mountain agriculture,
the graduates of which are proving
the best "farm demonstrators" in gov
ernment service.
The educational work which Berea
is doing along this line is probably
unique among college aetivties. Ac
cording to President Frost, the region
is not naturally one to be thought of
for great supplies. He says: “Per
haps not more than one-fourih of its
area can ever be plowed. But as a
source of food, the region must be
cultivated. It is the man who has poor
land who needs agricultural instruc
tion most.”
