Wonder what these same players would say if they happened to run into a team like that of the House of David at Benton Harbor, Michigan. 1 Camoflouged behind long hoards and maiden-ltwke tresses and led by their ruler, King Benjamin, the House of David ball team is the most unique in baseball today.

The first requisite of a House of David devotee is a mass of foliage draped trellis-like over the face. They must never shave nor cut their hair. But there is nothing in their religion to keep them from playing ball and accordingly, a few years ago, King Benjamin started a ball team which is the terror of semi-pro teams from Chicago and southwestern Michigan.

HARPER LEECH of our Washington Bureau.) WASHINGTON, Oct. 15?Within s few years this old world will be turned upside down, all the so-called "laws of nature" repealed. and war made impossible. If an inventor now he,re can prove his sweeping claims. Of the long line of Investigators, alchemists and mystics who have promised humanity relief none is more interesting personally than the Garabed T. K. Glragossian, the Armenian from Boston, who claims he has discovered a source of "free energy1' and a method of using It which will at one stroke free mankind from work. By sheer force of personality and In- j tense sincerity this modest-appeariug! Annentai^Americaii po impressed ?j skeptical congressional committeo with the idea that he may really have upset all known laws of physics that congress passed a Joint resolution for a government investigation. President "Wilson failed to sign the , vv.. resolution, but it will undoubtedly be | ~ taken up at the next session or another kind of scientific test can be[ p arranged. There Is nothing mystic in the appearance of Giragossian. Dressed in a well-worn serge suit, ho would irn-i press one as a skilled machinist or lo-1 comotive engineer. He is 57 years old.j He has lived in America 26 years old He does not ask the government toj pay for the test of his invention, but will assume it himself. On the nature of his discovery Gira- J gossfan reminds one ot the late H. H.| Rogers, inventor of the formula "bVj advice of counsel I refuse to answer " But he will talk by the hour on the physical and social effects of his in-, vention when applied. It is limitless in amount and could be applied to altering the speed of the earth's rotation or changing the inclin-| ation of the earth on its axis, thus] changing the climates of continents j and making bananas grow in Green-1 land, or oranges n Labrador.
