WHY?
Is Water Called
"Hard"
or
"Soft?"
(Copyright, JDL'ii, by the Wheeler Syn
dicate, Inr.)
Water which comes from va
rious sources naturallv contains
different amounts of the salts or
other chemicals which it has dis
solved in its journey. For ex
ample, a river which traverses a
country containing a considerable
amount of lime will dissolve
some of this and carry it along
in solution, just as the water of
the ocean carried the salt. These
chemicals dissolved in the water
lend to make it harsh or "hard"
to the touch and prevent the free
lathering of soap, which is one of
the distinguishing factors of
"soft" water so called because
it is pleasant and soothing.
Practically all water taken
from rivers or lakes is hard be
cause it contains chemicals in
varying degrees, all of which
have been absorbed bv the water
in its passage from the source of
the river to the point at which
the water is removed. It fol
lows, therefore, that the closer
one gets to the original source of
the water the purer or "softer"
it will be which accounts for
the fact that rain-water was for
merly in such demand for wash
ing, though modern chemistry
has evolved methods of remov
ing a portion of the dissolved
'minerals and thus makes hard
water much less harsh than it
would ordinarily be.

"The question you asked is: 'How
did you get into big base ball?' This,
of course, is pretty hard to answer
by a player, as the club owners are
the ones who could explain this
much better.
"Kane, Pa., was the first profes
sional team I joined. This was in
1907, and it disbanded July 5, the
same year. 1 then joined the
Marion, O., team (O. and P. league).
I was there about three days when
the Cleveland Americans bouglw me.
1 vent south in the sm;nf of 1W8
with them, and being very young
and inexperienced, was sent to the
Nashville team of the Southern
league for that season. This, how
ever, was one of the years of my
pride; we won the pennant.
1 was recalled in the fall of 1908
by Cleveland, and in the spring sent
to the Toledo American association.
I did not play very good ball with
this team, so in June I was sold to
Memphis in the Southern league,
and was very good with that team.
Brooklyn bought me in 1909 and I
went south with them and made
good from the start. I played with
Brooklyn for nine years, and was
traded to Cincinnati in 1919, and,
of course, am still with them.
"However, in looking r ver this let
ter you will notice quite a few
changes from year to'year, and if I
would have lost my nerve and been
disgusted because I did not stay
with Cleveland in 1908, I would not
be where I am today. To become a
major league ball player you must
never quit on yourself, and you
must be determined to get to the top
of the ladder. I am not the only
player who has had his tips and
dow ns before he landed iij the major
league. I am one of several hun
dred, j
"As advice to any young boy: j
never think you know it all in base j
ball, as base ball is like music, you j
can learn more every day. There j
are few ball players who know this; '

She ran toward the door, waving
her spoon, "Shoo along out of this
with your bad manners!" she cried.
Just that minute Larry came up
behind the lieu and tried to catch
her by the legs.
"Cut-cut-cut-a-cut," squawked old
Speckle; and up she flew, right over
Grannie's head, into the rafters!
Then she tucked herself cosily down
to go to asleep.
"Did you ever see the likes of
that old Speckle, now?" cried Gran
nie M alone. She ran for the broom.
'"Sure she must be after thinking I
was lonesome for a bit of company!
Do you think I'd be wanting you at
all, vou silly, when I have the Twins

by me?" she said to the hen. She
shook the broom at her, but old
Speckle wasn't a bit afraid of Gran
nie; she didn't move.
Then Grannie Malone put the
broom under her and tried to lift
her from her perch, but old Speckle
had made up her mind to say. So
she flew across to another raft;r,
and lit on Grannie Malone's black
coat that she wore to mass on Sun
days. She thought it a pleasant
warm place and sat down again.
"Bad luck to you for an ill-favored
old thief!' screamed Grannie. "Get
off my Sunday cloak with your
muddy feet! It's ruined you'll have
me entirely!"
She shook the cloak. Then old
Speckle, squawking all the way,
flew over to Grannie's bed; She ran
the whole length of it. She left a
little path clear across the patch
work quilt. Larry stood in one cor
ner of the room vaving his arms.
Eileen was flapping her apron in an
other, while Grannie Malone chased
old Speckle with the broom. At last,
with a final squawk, she flew out of
the door, and ran around to the shel
ter where the other hens were, and
went in as if she thought home was
the best place for a hen after all.
Larry shut her in.
As soon as the hen was out of the
house, ' Eileen screamed, "I smell

" "Tis the cakeen," cried Grannie.

"I voted against the Big Woods
site," suddenly broke out Lars at
the same council meeting when the
camp gardener had received his au
thorization to go ahead and prepare
the land for a crop.
"I didn't want to rub it in," said
Jim. "I know you did. Hut why?"
"No use to worry you," answered
the Finn, sturdily, "until I found out
w hat could be done. But you hadn't
any business picking that site, with
out being sure there was plenty of
water."
"Three springs on the place," put
in Will, hotly.
"Springs, yes. But do they run
the year round?" asked Lars.
"But there's" enough water, don't
you think, Lars?" asked Barton.
"In those springs? No."
A sudden silence showed the grav
ity of the situation.
"But you said you have found out
something, Lars?" queried the camp
director, hopefully.
"Here!" he said, and threw some
photographs on the table.
The camp director picked them up
without a word, raised his eyebrows
and handed them round the table.
A chorus of exclamations rose.
"Cricky!" "Running water I" Mar
tha's exclamation was: "Plenty of
water for the kitchens, how lovely!"
But Will O'Rahilly's keen eyes
read the most important thing, to
him. Looking closely at a white
blur down near the corner of the
print, he suddenly let out a war
whoop :
"Wow! A swimming pool? Where
did ye get the water, bully boy?"
"Built a flume from a branch a
mile and a half away," said Lars.
"That's the biggest thing the camp
has done yet." said the director.
"Oh, that's all right." said Lars,
who hated praise. But he was
pleased, just the same.
there are no two ball games played
alike.
Always be ready to listen to any
suggestion that is made. Always do
what your manager tells you to do,
as a ball game must be run by one
person only, and the manager is
the one who makes a study of the
game and how it should be played.
That is his job."

knocked the cover off the little tea
kettle with the tongs, and out flew a
cloud of smoke.
"Och, murder! 'Tis destroyed en
tirely" poor Grannie groaned.
"I'll turn it quick," said Eileen.
She was in such a hurry she didn't
wait for a fork or stick or anythingl
She took right hold of the little
cakeen, and lifted it out of the kettle
with her hand!
The little cake was hot "Owl
Ow!" shrieked Eileen, and she
dropped it right into the ashes!
Then she danced up and down and
sucked her fingers.

Dicky threw up his head with a
gesture I knew only too well, and
glared at me savagely as if I had
announced the prospective visit of
his satanic majesty himself. Evi
dently hi giving Major Grantland
advice as to wedding party bouquets
was one thing, while the young of
ficer's expected call upon me be
cause of that counsel was "some
thing else again," as Lillian's old
cook, Betty, so aptly puts it.
"What the devil is he coming here
for?" he asked with all the unrea
sonableness which he is capable of
exhibiting when things displease
him.
"I do not know that he is coming,"
I explained, with a stiffness in my
manner which I could not for the
.life of me restrain. "When your
mother and I said that we could not
find pieces of our gowns. Mrs. Dur
kee chose to believe that we did not
wish to give them, and informed us
that she meant to tell the major we
were hunting for them, and that he
was to call here for them. She hur
ried away before either of us could
protest. Rut, of course, if you ob
ject, it will be very easy for you to
take thit pieces to her. Then he will
have no possible excuse for coming
here."
Of course I knew and woman
like rejoiced in the knowledge, and
the weapon it fitted to my hand
that Dicky would rather emulate the
old martyrs and offer his body for
torture than to face little Mrs. Dur
kee's malicious smile and enjoyment
of his appearing before her in the
role of jealous husband objecting to
a perfectly excusable and innocent
call from the man she held in such
high regard.
My husband's temper boiled over
in a single forcible and profane
ejaculation. Then he turned upon
his heel with an air of withering dis
dain. "Evidently you quite fancy your
self in the role of a humorist," he
sneered, "but for your own good
let me advise you to put the soft
pedal upon the very cheap form of
wit which seems to be your only
metier."
Mother Graham Smiles.
He left the room with the leisurely
loftiness of a lord of the manor who
had just disciplined one of hffc sub
jects. I have seen the time when a
scathing remark like this from
Dick would have brought hitter
tears and a night of wakeful misery.
That was the fitst year of my mari
tal experience. Later, hot anger
took the place of tears. Hut now,
while both tears and anger still come
to me I find that more frequently
still I am able to smile with real
amusement at the explosions and va
garies of my temperamental hus
band.
But I was surprised when the
door closed a bit vehemently under
Dicky's hand to see softening the
grim visage of my mother-in-,law an
answering smiie to the one' quirk
ing the corners of my own mouth, j
An instant's reflection, however, j
made me realize that it was only I
what I might have expected from j
what I knew of my mother-in-law's
inherent sense of justice, and a cer- j
tain grim humor which she pos-
sesses. Besides, I reflected, her son
had just involuntarily humiliated j
her by his disclosure of the fact that !
he and not Major Grantland. was
responsible for the idea which she
had ridiculed so strongly. I also
knew that she was feminine and in
consistent enough to resent it.
"He'll Cool Down "
Her comment matched her smile.
"If Richard were younger." she
said grimly, "I could turn him over

ways do."
A little reminiscent smile hovered
around her lips.
"I remember long before Richard
was born," she began, "there was a
young lawyer, an old schoolmate of
mine and Richard's tathcr used
to"
She stopped abruptly, pulled her
self up, as if she had been, about to
betray some tremendous secret. I
knew without any word of hers that
she had suddenly bethought herself
of the glaring inconsistency there
would be in telling me of this old
humorous experience with the jeal
ousy of Dick's father, and then
making the disagreeable comments
upon Major Grantland which were
her habit. But she had said enough
to give me another glimpse I had
been given a more tragic one years
before of her life with her hus
band, who. 1 guessed, must be very
like his son, and I kntw that her
comments would never more have
power to wound me as thev had
done.
"1 suppose I'd better Le gelting
out that dress sample." she said
magnificently, ignoring her positive
refusal of a few minutes bcfo.e to
produce it. "I have an idea that
Grantland will be here before an
other hour."
