Interfering feet attached to Ping
Bodie and John Collins were the main
contributing causes of the defeated
the White Sox by Detroit yesterday
in the first clash of the year between
the two teams. 1t is up to Callahan
to treat his players like race horses
and hobble them to prevent this in
reference. 70,
With Borton dead in the second
inning Bodie drove one of Klawitter's
straight ones far over the head of
High, playing center field in place of
Ty Cobb. 1t was a terrific clout and
hit the center fence with such force
as to bounce back twenty feet. It
looked like an easy triple for Ping,
and would have been a homer for
any gent who could run faster than
Bill Taft did in the last election. Ping
reached first and turned for second
without being derailed. Then he
stepped on his own feet and plowed

branch, whose work Is of great i'm

public. It has to do with political
crimes and the safeguarding Of royal

Canada, and he has since accompanied
his majesty on all his continental jour-

Changes In Meaning of Words.

1t is too true that George Meredith
wrote alright in a letter 1t is also
true that a whole nation writes al
mighty in books. When does little
popular habit gain authority? What is
more puzzling is the complete right
about face of words in the course of
half a generation or less, as in the
case of not half bad" That unclas-
steal phrase meant only lately that
thing was rather good. 1t now means
that thing is completely and wholly
bad. When Matthew Arnold. the Gull

actually happened.
The first concerns a guard in the
New York subway-about the last
place one would look for the Christ
mas spirit.
The other guards were tired and
snappish. The people swere tired and
jostled and crowded each other almost
spitefully.
The refrain of the other guards was
Step lively" Quit pushing. there" or
Let 'em off, let 'em off,
This guard had a smile and Merry
Christmas" for everybody. He called
out cheerily:
Give your fellow men a chance.
Just little peace and good will now.
Remember it's merry Christmas"
The crowds responded instantly
The 1ostling stopped. People stood
aside respectfully and courteously to
let others pass. They went aboard in
an orderly manner. Yet by their very
0rderliness they were enabled to make
the greater haste. and this guards
platform was cleared before the 9th
ers.
Not only so. but all those concerned
had a little better Christmas because
Of the incident
Another story relates to little girl
strapped to a Bedford frame in a
Brooklyn hospital. There she has been
for three years, suffering from curva
ture of the spine.
She wrote a pathetic letter to Santa
Claus. appealing not only for herself,
but for the other tots about Der SINH
larly afflicted
The letter got into one of the New
York papers.
From all over the land came the re-
Spouse. Dolls and toys arrived by the
score. A San Francisco lady sent
diamond ring. Another mailed d check
for $500
With her treasures about her the
crippled child cried:
mo one can ever have happier
Christmas than I am having right
now. l am so happy can't keep from
crying" and she burst into tears
Then she gave all but a few of her
precious dollies and toys to the othen
little cripples and sent the $500 to an
old ladies' home.
The third story is of a six-year-old
boy in the children's home at Cincin-
natl. He is placed there because his
mother is employed in an office On
day he was given a
large, luscious orange. 1t was reported
that he had sold it and when asked
the reason he said he had put the
money in the bank to buy bis mamma

NOW AND HERE.

Cattle that jump the fence cause

These are the folks who think the lot
Of others is better than their own.
They are filed with envy, repining

There are two kinds of discomfort,

Helpful discomfort is the kind that

Hurtfui discomfort is the sort that

This is the discomfort Of the folks
that resemble breachy stock.

We cannot run away from the now

A Wall From Paris.

There are some amusing protests be-
ing made against the proposal that We
hicles in Paris shall no longer keep to
the right, but to the left. NJ. Clement
Vautel, for instance, declares that the
sole reason for this reform is that the
English keep to the left, and he grieves
that this is one imitation the more.
"Never, now" he exclaims, docs Paris
give the lead; she is content to follow.
We have adopted Greenwich time, Bel
gian clock faces, Bavarian cubism.
Russian dances and Hottentot music.
We are now to drive on the left, as in
London, and doubtless soon we shall
walk on our hands like the inhabitants

ACCURACY, TERSENESS,

J.. r.

In q recent address before the Pulit-
FER School Of Journalism Ralph Pulit-
ser. son of the founder Of that institu-
ton. said that his father hated an in
accurate statement as another man
would hate an outright lie. He con-
tinued:
Accuracy in newspaper writing was
with Joseph Pulitzer religion"
Possibly we have here one of the Sc
crets of the great editors success.
Accuracy is just as important to
those outside Of the newspaper bust
ness. however, as to those on the in
side.
1t Is important to the merchant. 1t
Is bad business for statesmen to make
inaccurate statements concerning their
wares.
1t is important to the teacher. First
ideas with the young shape the whole
life. To misinform and train them to
inaccurate statements is criminal
/ 1t is important to the public speaker.
i remember few years ago going to
hear a well known lecturer speak on
Oliver Cromwell. counted no less
than six historical inaccuracies In the
address. Although the man was elo-
quent and had good insight into the
character and work OF Cromwell. the
lecture was spoiled for me. and have
had little respect for that speaker since.
It b important for the public man.
Politicians hare been pilloried and
driven out Of public life for inaccurate
statements made In the heat Of cam
