1 GIVES FREELY OF BLOOD TO
SAVE LIFE OF STRANGER
Alabama Man Loaas Quart to Holp
Poor, Friondloso Boy.
‘Tm a practical Christian and be
ll* ve In deeds rather than words—
' that’s how I came to do It," H. O.
Rogers, thirty-five years old, a sawyer
i by trade, and weighing 240 pounds.
' said as he left the operating room In
[ a Mobile (Ala.) hospital after giving
i a quart of his blood to save the life of
Albert Mitchell, a youth without rela
tives, friendless and penulless. who
was dying from pernicious anaemia.
A hurry call for volunteers was sent
out by the surgeons. Mitchell's condi
tion was desperate; without transfu
sion of fresh blood his case was pro
nounced hopeless. With the necessary
supply be could be restored to sufficient
strength to undergo an operation as a
last resort.
A hundred willing responses were
made In an hour to the call. Because
of his sturdy physical condition Rogers
was accepted. Two hours after the
operation Mitchell revived and sat up.
Rogers declared he desired no thanks.
“He was a human being and dying."
he said. “It mattered not that I never
saw him before. I've tried to be a
Christian In deed more than by profes
sion. This kind of thing Is the real
test. I’m a healthy chap with plenty
of blood and some to spare. I couldn't
bear to have that boy die If there was
a chance.
“If I could save Ills life It would he
a regular good Samaritan act such as
the Bible teaches is the kind of Chris
tianity to hnug to. whether the fellow
who does that kind of stunt, occasional
ly takes a drink or gets mad and swears
once In awhile for personal relief.”
CONVICT LEFT A NOTE.
Will* Hi* Skin to Cover Wife** Bibl*
a* He Escape*.
George E. Thompson, who escaped
from the Camden (N. J.) Jail with Wil
son Ashbrldge, after they had shot and
killed Keeper Isaac Illbbs and wound
ed Jailer Ellis, left in his ceil the fol
lowing letter:
To Whom It May Concern:
Ashbrldge has come to the conclusion
that he doesn’t want to stay here any
longer, and, as I don’t much care for the
place myself, I have decided to go with
him.
Now, I understand that In leaving this
place in this manner I am “flirting with
the undertaker.’* So I leave this note be
hind in case such is the case.
In the event of my being killed I make
the following request: That my body be
turned over to the University of Penn
sylvania for dissecting purposes, with this
stipulation—that a piece of skin he re
moved and tanned, of sufficient size to
cover a small copy of the New Testament.
Have same made up and presented to my
lawyer, who will have instructions to
i present It to my wife, who, although a
! Manchu by birth and a Buddhist, is in
i terested in the New Testament. Also my
| ring and pin shall be turned over to the
same attorney to be presented to my wife.
GEORGE E. THOMPSON.
PAPERS GOING UP.
Cost of Print Paper Too High, Secre
tary Redfield Saya.
“The one cent newspaper will be a
thing of the past within a short time,”
predicted Secretary of Commerce Will
iam C. Redfleld. “Prices have in
creased all along the line on nearly all
commodities, and within the last few
months there has been a steady in
crease in the price of the materials en
tering into the making of news print
paper and an increased demand.
“The indications are that early this
fall when new contracts are made, or
before, there will be further Increases
In news print paper prices, and pub
lishers will be unable to get out one
cent papers without a loss, and an in
crease In price will be imperative.
“From information which has reached
me, I am of the opinion that advertis
ing rates will have to he increased also,
as It appears that the increased cost of
paper cannot be made up alone by the
increase in the price of the newspaper."
PEERLESS TY COBB SLIPPING
Groat Playar, However, Is Conserving
His Energy.
Toy Cobb is slipping, but the descent
is not alarming. Added years and in
creased bulk, of course, are slowing
Ty a trifle in an involuntary way. but
the major portion of Ty’s skidding
right now is of a voluntary nature.
Ty now has entered the ranks of
veterans. Any man who Is beginning
hls eleventh year under the big tent
must be classed among the old timers.
Knowing this and knowing, too. that
age and weight are beginning to handi
cap him, Ty Is conserving hls wonder
ful baseball energy. He loves the dia
mond game, and he wants to linger In
the spot light as long as possible. Only
by taking things comparatively easy
can be lengthen hls career eight or ten
years.
Those who have seen the peerless
Georgian in action this season have
noticed that some of the old “de or die”
spirit is lacking. Ty no longer takes
those huge chances of Injury and pos
sible crippling while on the bases. He
seems content to play the game as
best be can without risking the sudden
ending of hls major league life.

RACING DRIVERS
BELIEVE IN SIGNS
Unto Spud Kings Am Notori
ously Superstitious.
SHUN "13” LIKE POISON.
■urns Changed For Hoodoo Number
and Crashed Through Fence—Ren
Mulford Always Carries Gumdrops In
His Car.
Men who take chances are notorious
ly superstitious. Ball players univer
sally look to the “breaks of the game"
for success and are constantly avoid
ing the “jinxes” which they Imagine
would snatch away victory. Gamblers
have a system of signs and omens pre
saging winnings or losses which Is as
complete ns an Egyptian astrologer’s.
Very few of them will risk 'many dol
lars in a game where the first card cut
Is a black one.
But of all superstitious men the au
tomobile racing driver Is the most pro
found slave to signs. Having clearly
In mind that they will flirt with death
In their spa<-e annihilating contests,
they grasp at anything which seems to
] reveal the future.
Carries Bag of Gumdropa.
Ralph Mulford believes he can drive
; his best when he has a hag of giim
; drops In his car. Although he Is sub
j jected to torrents of gibes from his
! friends because of his superstition, he
has an abiding faith in the confection
made famous by Dr. Cook, the arctic
explorer. Mulford also believes it Is a
good thing to borrow something, no
matter what. Just before the race. It
Is his contention that Providence will
never let him die until he pays all his
debts.
No. 13 as a mark for racing cars
has long been looked upon with mixed
favor. In the Falrmount (Philadelphia)
park race In 1011 the number was
conspicuous by its absence. No driver
would venture on a tortuous course
with a “13" printed on his car. Louis
Chevrolet, a uniformly successful driv
er, bore the number 13 in a race a few
years ago and failed to finish. Many
of his associates maintained that his
failure was a foregone conclusion as
soon as the numbers were distributed.
Smashed Through Fence.
Burns, a widely known driver, ex
changed numbers with a rival who had
drawn 13 the night before a race in
Savannah. The driver to whom the
number was originally given declared
he would not carry the hoodoo number
into the contest. Tile change was
made, and Burns smashed through a
! fence. He spent two months in the
hospital, and when he was finally dis
charged he declared he was done for
ever with “13.”
