BRAVES CINCH TOP POSITION Giants Chances of Regaining Lead Seem Poor Unless Their Pitchers Do Much Bet ter Work. New York.—Boston clinched its grip on first place in the National League race last week and now holds the lead by an even two-game margin over New York. The Braves defeated the Giants two games in three and won enough addi tional games ' front Philadelphia to bring their playing rate for the week up to the .667 mark. Meanwhile the Giants, losing five out of nine, were playing only at a .444 clip. The Giants’ chances of regaining lost ground seems poor unless their pitch ers do much better work. Marquard has failed to win even one of his last ten games, and Demaree has been of little use all season. Tyler of Boston was hit hard his last time out, but James and Rudolph are pitching well, while Davis, a recruit, seems to be a find that will help the pennant chances *f Stallings’ men appreciably. St. Louis and Chicago are having a pretty struggle for third places with the advantage on the side of the Car dinals. Their double victory over Cin cinnati Sunday put them within 2 1-2 games of the Giants and one game ahead of Chicago. Boston cut into Philadelphia's lead 'in the American League race last week, bqt the Red Sox still are 7 1-2 games from the world’s champions. . .Indianapolis, after holding undisput ed leadership in the Federal League for several weeks, struck a period of hard going in Baltimore while the re juvenated Chicago team, taking a dou ble-header from Buffalo Saturday and two games again Sunday, clambered once more into the lead. Chicago now is ahead with 73 games won and 53 lost to Indianapolis’ 72 and 69. STANDING OF CLUBS National League. Won. Lost.

' INCONTESTABLE' IS WORD USED AT JOFFRE ON ALLIES VICTORY Advance of French-Eritish Continues Across the River Aisne. Berlin Official Statements Warn the People That Certain Reverses May be Expected. London, 10:10 a. m—’‘lncontestable” is the adjective used by General Jof fre, commanded-in-chief of the French forces, in describing the vic tory of the allies along the western battle front. The latest official com munication from Paris indicates that the advance is continuing all along the line with the allies’ left wing now across the Riyer lisne. Of Vaguest Sort. But little news and that of the vaguest sort, filtered through from Germany and it is evident from the tone of Berlin official statements that the people are being warned not to be too optimistic as certain reverses may be expected. The latest actual battle news In Berlin describes a sor tie from Paris on September 6th, which it is stated, has been repulsed. Dispatches from many sources, in cluding Vienna, indicate that the Austrian army in Galicia is in sore straits but the story of its complete destruction is evidently exaggerated, as the latest Russian reports indicate that General Ruzsky’s forces are still meeting with organized resistance. In a Trap. It is evident, however, that the Aus trian center was crumpled up while the left wing was hurled into the marshes of the River San. This left wing, composed of the flower of the Austrian troops may be caught in a trap making unconditional surrender the alternative destructive. BUT LITTLE COTTON COULD BE BOUGHT FOB 8 CENTS ON MONDAY ‘‘Buy a Bale” Mo "ment and General Holding Movement Helping Wonderfully and Cotton Men Are Optimistic. Over Two Thousand Bales Received Saturday. On Monday cotton was in good de mand in Augusta at 8 cents per pound for middling. Not much could be pro cured at that price. One dealer said that cotton could not be bought in any considerable quantity for less than 8 1-8 or 8 1-4 cents. The “buy-a-bale” movement and the general holding movement on the part of the farmers has done much to help the market. The cotton men are. de cidedly optimistic over the situation, although they refuse to predict what the immediate future will bring forth in the way of advanced prices. Ali are hopeful, however, that cotton will continue to go up. On Saturday Augusta received 2,437 bales of cotton. It was by far the biggest day since the season started The total number of new bales re ceived to date is 17,388. This is about 5,000 less than had been received tha same date last year.

The official statement given out in Petrograd says that General Rennen mampf in East Prussia is stubbornly retiring before a superior force rather than risk the turning of his left flank by the Germans. Served Its Purpose. The Belgian mobile force has re turned to its Antwerp base with the official explanation that it has served its purpose in preventing German re inforcements from joining the army in France. This force operated for four days in the Brussels-Louvaln- Mallnes triangle, forcing the Germans to abandon much of that portion of Belgium. In connection with this movement it is reported that the Bel gians are cutting German communi cations. Other sources declare that the Belgians were compelled to return because the Germans were strongly reinforced from Liege. To Burn Brussels. The retirement is said also to have been expedited by a threat to burn Brussels. Italy is still preserving neutrality, but has joined the Triple Entente am bassadors in a protest against the revocation of the capitulations by Turkey. Austria evidently fears hostile action on the part of Italy, according to newspaper reports from Rome for feverish efforts are being made to fortify Trieste against attack and the coast in that vicinity is being mined.

DRUSILLA AND THE BABY DOLL. For a long time after the baby doll came at Christmas time Drusllla did not find much time to talk to Bobby Jones.

Wounded are being brought Into Paris, the reports say, which is another indication thj.l the French capital no longer fears an atack.

Then, instead of tucking the baby doll in beside me as ■ she should, sho left her right on the edge of the carriage, and she kept sliding away from me until at last sno fell out and dropped on the sidewalk. "Before anyone could rescue her a dog bounded toward us and caught tha baby doll In his mouth and ran away shaking the baby as hard as ho could.

Tomorrow’s story—“ Billy Pig Goes Hunting.” SiEEPYTIIf ©TALEjir PUG AND THE CRAB. (By Virginia Vale.) One a upon a time Fred and Clara went out on the beach to catch crabs. They dug among the rocks and as they found them laid them on the dry sand and covered them with wet seaweed. Clara said if you did that they could not crawl away while you looked for more. They had gone quite a little way from the spot where they had left the crabs and were coming back with more when Fred caught sight of some thing digging near where they had left their crabs. "Look, look, Clara," said Fred. "1 believe that Is a dog digging up our crabs.” They ran to the spot and there was a little dog with a crab hanging on to Ills front paw. The dog was Jump ing and barking and it was sometime before they could get his paw free. The dog had dug at the seaweed and nearly all the crabs had crawled away. Fred was very angry but Clara only laughed and patted the little dog. When the children sturted for home the dog trotted along behind and al though the children tried to send it back it wouldn’t go. As no owner for the dog could be found the children were allowed to keep him and they named him Pug. Pug and the children would go to the bead) each day to play, but Pug would always run when ths children found a crab and showed It to him and the children said that he hadn’t forgotten how It hurt when the crab bad hold of his paw and he didn’t want it to happen again. I think he was a very wise dog, don’t you? FINDING AN OPENING. Griggs: “I see that Borelv has got a Job at last. He’s working now In Hicks' llverey stable." Briggs: "What doing?"

HINTS FOR THRIFTY BUYING. How many housekeepers who buy a 12-cent ran of peas or a 16-cent can of tomatoes know the quantity of food the cans contain? Sometimes the xcontonts of a can Is sufficient for two meals for a small family, some times it will barely serve one meal. The size of the can Is not a correct key to tile amount of vegetable or fruit It contains as one-thtrd of it may be water. Neither can the buyer make an estimate by Its weight which may be caused by an excess of water or a heavy can or solder. Fifteen-rent cans of tomatoes have been found to vary In amount of liquid from twelve ounces to eighteen ounces, and In weight of solid toma toes from sixteen ounces to twenly ono ounces making the actual cost for the vegetables contained in a flf teen-oent can run all the way from eight cents l» fifteen cents per pound. A can of corn will sometimes tie full to tlm brim, at other times it will lie two-thirds full. Different brands vary In the quantity of their contents, and different cans of the same brand at the same prleo dlffere In quantity. The need that Thrift Committees he organized In every city, that among other things the canned goods may bo reported on for the benefit of con sumers in general, Is well shown by the disclosures made where tests have been conducted carefully. It is easy to see that a testing bureau for Thrift Committee would find plenty of use ful work in this line. President t 4. VV. Straus, in a recent bulletin summariz ing the work of Thrift Committees, suggested the systematic investiga tion of goods that are sold by local merchants, preventing short weight and short measures; advocating per sonal marketing and cash inlying, and In fact, a first-class, personal knowl edge of the leakages and remedies therefor. The Journal of Home Economics comments on these facts as follows: “This sort of buying Is extravagant and may well have some relation to the high cost of living. Today’s Puzzle-Can You Read It?

Durbin, the advertising manager of one of the largest and most successful department stores in the country recently addressed a meeting of buyers in New York. He made a strong plea to local merchants to sup port the manufacturers who adverstise in newspapers. Such national advertising, Mr. Durbin declared, should inspire the retailer to come out and say I carry “such and such a product.” Mr. Durbin gave this advice to the buyers: “Do not forget that the goods you have ih stock are to be sold right there in your town and that the way to sell them is to advertise in the home newspaper. “Pay no attention to the manufacturer who sends you a lot of circular matter, saying, ‘ We are going to buy a SIO,OOO spread ir the Sun and Moon Magazine on such a date and we hope you will co-operate with us by advertising in yonr local newspapers that you handle our products.’ " “Individual consumers and clubs In terested in the control of the cost of living could do much to safeguard the Interests of the public by publishing the result of Investigations made by themselves of goods sold in their local markets. "The methods for such Investiga tions would be very simple and yet effectual. One or more cans of each brand of food obtainable should he purchased, and the Information on the labels fully recorded with the name of tha brand. The can should ho weighed before opening, note taken of the price paid and all observations carefully recorded. After the can is opened the contents should be empt ied into the sieve, the empty can weighed, the liquid measured and the solid contents weighed. Such data as these would help the consumer to buy wisely and well If she would be guid ed by her findings and buy food (solid matter) Instead of water (juice); and these teHts can be made by any housekeeper. “The housekeeper should, however, he relieved from any such labor by the canner, who should adopt uniform standards and labels.” J.
