NATIOML CAPlM m ATFA1S m Uncle Sam Needs Many New Buildings Congress at WASHINGTON. will be President to appropriate sufficient pub-lic money that the government's agen-cies may be properly housed in Wash-ington. The problems of housing the vnrious departments end bureaus of the gov-ernment was discussed at a cabinet meeting at the White House and It was agreed by all present that between Bow and the time congress convenes a consistent and economical construction program must be carefully prepared. It seemed to be the opinion of the meeting that the building program hould not be confined to Washington, but should answer the .needs of the federal government In Its operations throughout the entire country. The President and bis advisers are In accord with the general Idea pre-ente- d by the fine arts commission, which calls for a centralization of government departments In the mall and south of Pennsylvania avenue, and It was intimated after the cabinet . meeting that the program to be pre-pared very likely will include these Ideas. According to the views expressed by a number of the cabinet officers during the discussion, the problems of bousing have grown to embarras-sing proportions. The condition of some of the rented buildings Is such that not only Is the health of occu-pants endangered, but the efficiency of workers Is being Impaired. The dis-cussion was brought up by Secretary Mellon of the treasury, who stated that he wanted advice on how to han-dle the situation, which up to that time had him "stumped." One rented building under his department and which houses a certain section of the Income tax division Is In such need of repair that the building has actually become unsafe. . Secretary Mellon v?as followed by other cabinet officers, each with their gloomy accounts of housing conditions of their respective departments. Each gave, the opinion that the problem la becoming worse each year, and that already it had been found difficult to efficiently carry on the work of the government. Postmaster General New, In describ-ing the problems of bis department, Is known to have told the gathering that the demands for better housing facili-ties for post offices throughout the United States are most extraordinary and Insistent. It was pointed out that the normal business of the department has in-creased more than 2S0 per cent The buildings are still being used through-out the country which were either erected or rented for the use of the department as far back as fifty yean ago.

The catcher Is one of the most im-portant players on the team. He should be a cool, alert Individual, al-ways ready to pick out any weakness that the other team discloses In Its batting, and always ready to take ad-vantage of these weaknesses. If he can remain calm and collected through the worst batting rallies that his op-ponent may start, he becomes a great steadying Influence on the pitcher. On the other hand, If he gets excited and loses his head, he will become a great hindrance to the team's success. The catcher should be able at all times to handle thrown or pitched balls without dropping or fumbling. lie should never allow himself, whether In a game or during practice, get Into the habit of dropping the ball. Many catchers keep their hands In a continual state of pain by carelessness in the position in which they hold their hands when receiving a ball. The fingers should be held close together and pointing either upward or down-ward. In other words, If your hands were planes, the surfaces should be parallel to the course of the ball com-ing toward you or very nearly so, and never perpendicular to It if possible to avoid it. This method of handling your hands will save many injuries to your fingers and will also enable you to handle the ball easier and cleaner. The position the catcher takes De-hi-the plate is ery important. He should stand directly behind the plate, as closely as possible to the batter without likelihood of being hit by the bat or Interfering with the batter. His feet and legs should be placed com-fortably under him, and should not be spread too far apart or kept too close together. The left foot should be placed a little in advance of the right foot which brings you that much closer to your shifted or throwing position. Try to keep your body be-hind all pitched balls if possible unless so doing you place yourself In a posi-tion where the batter will Interfere with your throwing. In such cases the ball mnst be caught and brought out or away from the batter In order to make throwing easier. In going after wild pitches to the right, move your right foot out far enough that you will retain your balance. For wild throws to the left side, move the left foot out. Squat only enough to be able to car-ry your mitt comfortable at about the batter's waist fm which position you can change the fastest to catch either a high or low pitched ball.

Wedding in High Life Is "Postponed" marriage of Miss Nancy TUB the twenty-year-ol- d of the late Henry M. Hoyt solicitor general under the Taft administration, to Lieut. F. Wiseman-Clark- e, twenty-three- , R. N., has been indefinitely postponed. Ac-cording to a statement Issued by Mrs. Hoyt the plans for the wedding were, canceled because of the sudden and serious Illness of her daughter. It Is understood, however, that the engage-ment Is broken. Lieutenant Wiseman-Clark- e and his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Wiseman-Clarke- , who arrived for the wedding, returned to England. The matrimonial troubles of Miss Iloyt's sister, Mrs. Horace Wylle, who has been twice divorced and whose first husband, Philip Htchborn, commit-ted suicide, are rumored to be the real cause of the breaking off of the mar-riage. The facts, it Is said, were previously unknown to the young man's family, who were greatly shocked. Mrs. Hoyt was so seriously offended that she at once terminated the engagement. News of the canceling of the mar-riage shocked Washington society. Dinners and dances In honor of the bridal party had been given every eve-ning for a week, the concluding festiv-ity being the dinner-danc- e given by Senator and Mrs. James W. Wads-wort- h. Jr., whose daughter, Evelyn, was to have been one of Miss Iloyt's bridesmaids. Elinor Hoyt, it will be remembered, first married Philip Hlchborn, son of the late Admiral Hlchborn, leaving him and their infant son nearly fifteen years ago to elope with Horace Wylle, a man nearly twenty years her senior, married and the father of four chil-dren. Within a year Mr. Wylle and Mrs. Hlchborn returned and left together a few months later, Mr. Wylle in the Interval having adjusted his business affairs and settled nearly all his prop-erty on his wife. About a year later Philip Hlchborn shot himself. Shortly afterward Mrs. Wylle divorced her husband, who mar-ried Mrs. Hlchborn with the least pos-sible delay. For the last few years Mrs. Wylle has devoted herself to writing and has become widely known as a poet. Re-cently It was reported that she was about to marry William Rose Benet, who denied it. Inside Baseball as Played by Orioles "Inside baseball" has had a lot of publicity since the game took .a firm foothold in the affections of the American public. The Baltimore Orioles, the wonder team that developed Mc-Gra-and Robinson and Jen-nings Into the leading strategists of the present, thoroughly be-lieved in the "Inside" game, but a lot of their stuff looked like ordinary trickery to modern eyes. For Instance: The Giants were playing a closely contested game in Balti-more. In one of the late innings Hughey Jennings hit a sharp bounder to Ely, the New York shortstop, who threw wildly to first base. In those days the clubhouse of the old Union park grounds in Baltimore was situated directly behind first. Tom Murphy, the Baltimore groundkeeper, was watching tlio game at the open door. He saw the ball come rolling toward him. He allowed It to roll into the locker room and then slammed the' door and locked It. Roger Connor, the Giants' first sacker, swearing like a trooper, tried to tear the door down, while Jennings raced around the bases and scored the deciding run. "That was Inside ball," said McGraw, in recounting the story, "but Just try to get away with anything like that In these calm and effete days!"

Pennsylvania Jersey several of them near Washington, and some of them close to other large cen-ters have taught the people of this section the lesson which the forest service has long been endeavoring to impress upon the people of the coun-try as a whole. One of these fires raged over an area of 10 square miles within an alarming-ly short distance of the nation's capi-tal city, and caused n large loss of property In houses, barns, etc., In ad-dition to the loss In timber. During the coming summer there will be approximately of these . forest fires, If the annual average of the last six years Is maintained. Last year 38,400 such fires were reported to the federal authorities. The lesson to be learned Is not alone of the great loss which they cause, but that almost all of them could be pre-vented. Fully 80 per cent are the re-sult of carelessness or Ignorance, or both. Natural causes are responsible for only about one-tent- "Will we this year have learned our lesson of caret" asks Col. W. 11. Gree-ley, chief of the forest service, "or will hasty automoblllsts travel through the forest this summer, leaving rags, cigar and cigarette stubs and burning matches In their wake? Will campers again build fires without re-gard to common sense rules of safety? Will hunters anil fishermen forget that unless they exercise reason In pre-venting tires they will no longer have game to hunt and streams to whip? Will farmers who desire to clean up a wood lot or field by burning the under-brush and slash fall to use care? "And there are some who will delib-erately set tire to the woods because of a fallacious belief that by so doing Insert pests can be destroyed, or that better grazing lands ran be obtained. These are the principal classes of of-fenders who are doing their bit to re-duce the timber sup-ply of the United States. These are the classes of people to whom the United States government wants to teach lessons." Timber-growin- la recognized as one of the really great questions that con-front the American people. If fires could be kept out of much of the coun-try's forest lands, the government ex-- " ports say, nature would take care largely of the reforestratlon problem.

Webb coached the American Olympic team winners at Antwerp, Belgium, In 19-- 0. Whv Gen. Dawes Said "H--l and Maria!" USED to be a clerk In one of HEthe government departments during the, In a manner of speaking, late war. One day a desk was drHslted In the hall out-aid- e his door. He needed a desk. Just that sort of a desk. "Shall I make out a requisition for It, sir?" he asked the head clerk. The head clerk Is an r In government circles. He recalled to bis subordinate's mind the Incident of the mule which was shot and which, upon Inquiry, proved to be the wrong mule. Whereupon 48 letters were written and the time of many men In war time was taken up In putting the record Straight. "First take the desk," said he. "Then put In your requisition." So the clerk who needed a desk tok the desk and put in his Time went on. lie used the desk until It became warped and scratched. f forgot about the requisition, the head clerk forgot about It, every one forgot libout It eci')it that dej.iirt meat of government which answers o the mills of the (imls. that 'Vrlml slowly, but thvf grind exceeding tine." Nineteen months after he had made the requisi-tion the reply came hack : "The answ er Is 'No.' " He didn't care by that time, for he was about ready to go out of the gov-ernment service. But he had learned bis lesson. Nowadays the man who pays hlra his weekly wage looks upon him with awe and approbation. He Is the of the staff. When he Is told to get something, or do something, he does not ask for permission. He first goes and gets. He then tells the world that lie's got it. Half the time the world says It Is all right. The other half of the time he Is forced to pay a price. "But the point Is that In almost PK) per cent of cases I get what 1 go after," said he. "Whereas In the strictly con-ventional way I might average a bad one third." No doubt there Is a moral which proves that he Is entirely wrong. But nobody doubts that the story li true, except that It may exaggerate a trllle In stating the haste with which the "No" wan returned tv tt Jenli requisition.
