OTTO, THE BOY WONDER
WHO WINS BALE GAMES AND
FIGHTS THE SAME DAY
COLON, Panama, March 30. —There’s
an Ohio jjoy here today who’s raising
the devil with ipugs and pitchers. He
just doesn’t seem to have the slightest
regard for curves or straight jabs. He's
Otto Yacknow, fist and willow wielder
extraordinary from Cleveland.
Time is valuable, so Otto uses it in
tensively. It’s nothing for him to win
a baseball game and a fight within
eight hours.
For example, Otto won the game that
clinched the zone championship and
then turned to that evening and knock
ed out a boxer in the fourth round —
all between noon and bedtime.
Otto also has the zone light-weight
championship nestling about his waist.
And Otto does it all in such a rom
antic way.
Scheduled to fight the night of
Washington’s birthday, Otto went out
to the ball-yard in his niftest street
clothes as an ordinary fan. although the
Colon team, for which he plays on the
infield, was up against its stiffest riv
als, the soldier team, the Coast Defense
boys.
When the ninth inning arrived the
soldiers were ahead, 6to 5. Pitcher
Mendez was in the hole to bat for
Colon. It was hastily decided Otto
must bat for him. Mendez and Otto
quickly swapped clothes right in the .
park. Otto went to the bat with one on
base. He beat out an infield tap by a
great sprint He and another runner
then put over a double steal, An in-’
field hit allowed the first runner to
score, tying it. The catcher had bare
ly let go the ball when Otto made a
lightning run and a great slide for the
plate, winning the game, while the
crowd went wild.
That night Otto knocked his man out
as related.
Let the truth be told. It has leaked
out, but with no discredit to Otto, that
he made his debut at Cleveland on the
Streetsweepers’ nine. He says he is
going back to the states to take on a 1
few lightweights. j

AUSTRALIAN WOMEN TO
ASSIST RECRUITING BY
OSTRACIZING “SLACKERS
MELBOURNE, Australia. March 30.{
—Senator George F. Pearce, the Aus
tralian Minister for Defense, has an
nounced that, in conformity with the
requirements of the British War Office,
16,500 men a month were still required
to reinforce the Australian expedition
ary Force at the front. The number
of volunteers in January was not near- (
iy sufficient to enable reinforcements
to be maintained on the basis required
by the War Office, as only 5,348 men
enlisted in that month.
Notwithstanding this marked falling
off in enlistment compared with the
corresponding period last year. the
efforts of the Director-General of Re
cruiting, Donald Mackinnon, and other
I persons, both men and women, were
| gradually increasing the number oi
volunteers. But even this is not satis
factory to the government and every
means known to the voluntary system
is being employed toward augmenting
the Amzacs.
Under his scheme for fetching men
to the colors, Mr. Mackinnon suggests
that women be persuaded to give up
the companionship of military eligibles
who have refrained from enlisting.
"Hearts must be steeled.” he says, “.to
that every woman can say firmly to
any eligibly man no matter in what
relation he stands to her: ’You ought
to go.’ ” The director proceeds to
point out that women’s influence in
the present recruiting movement is
vital. True it demands sacrifice and
the softer feelings of womanhood may
have to be suppressed, but, he says,
only the single aim must be kept in
sight—that men are necessary to win
the war. He goes on to say that it is
rot necessary to use scorn of contempt
toward men who may appear to be
slow to realize and perform their duty
toward their country, a slight pres
ure of feminine persuasion he consid
[ers worth a battering ram of raillery
or indignation. When a'l else fails
then may arrive the moment, he de-

HEAD OF NEW PHILIPPINES
STATE RAILROAD SYSTEM
MANILA, March 30. —Eugene E.
Reed, former congressman from New
Hampshire, and one of the Democratic
leaders of that state, has been named
as president of the Manila Railroad
company, transfer of which from the
stockholders to the Philippine govern-
I ment was completed recently. Mr.
I Reed thus steps from the Fnilippine
; Commission where he had held the
. post of secretary of commerce and
police until the reorganization of the
executive department of the govern
ment finally abolished that body, to be
the first head of the railroad system
i under government control.
This appointment came immediately
after the cabled announcement that
the money gained from an issue of $4,-
000,000 worth of Philippine govern
ment bonds, purchased in October of
I last year by the National City Com
' pany, had been paid over to the stock
i holders of the old Manila Railroad
' Company by Clyde A. DeWitt, former
; publicity utility commissioner in the
Philippines, who has spent the better
part of a year in the United States, ar
ranging the final details of the trans
fer. Mr. DeWitt, under government
control of the railroad, becomes legal
representative in the United States, >f
i the railroad.
The board of directors named to gov
ern the road under government con
trol, consists of Manuel Quezon, presi
’ dent of the Senate; E. J. Westerhouse,
' director of the bureau of public work;
Francisco Ortigas, of the insular code
committee which is in charge of a
complete codification of Philippine
i 'aws; Felipe Caballero, president of
the only Filyiplno fire insurance com
pany; Dr. A. P. Fitzsimmons, insular
treasurer; Alejandro Ruiz, representa
tive in the House, and a big power bi
the Nationalista party, the dominant
political faction of the Islands; J. J.
Rafferty, insular collector of internal
revenue, and Jose Fernandez, member
of a prominent local firm. There are
thus, including the president, four
Americans and five Filipinos on the
board of directors.
Loomis F. Goodale, an American of
many years experience in the insular
government, one time supervising rail
way expert and later expert advisor to
the public utility commission, has been
named as assistant to the president.

ACHISG KIDNEYS
I We Eat Too Much Meat Which Clogs
Kidneys, Then Back Hurts and
Bladder Bothers You.
Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need flushing, occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe headaches,
rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid
stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of
bladder disorders.
1 You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney reg
ion. get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any good drug store here, take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fam
ous salts is made from the acids of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. It also neutralizes the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
1 Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep kidneys
clean, thus avoiding serious complica
tions.
A well-known local druggist says be
sells dots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney’ trouble
while it is only trouble. advt.
