OUR NATIONAL SIN

We are continually reminded of the need of conservation of our natural resourees-forestS, mines, water powers and the like-and action in this direc- ton is highly desirable, if not even now absolutely necessary. Given sufficient time, the for ests may be increased the wat CT powers extended from few months to the entire year, and dying soils revived. But there is a yet more important waste that is nationwide, and is found where there are neith- CT forests nor mines, nor water powers. It exists in every state and is growing all the time, not only by reason of large population, but at an in- creasing percentage as we'll.
 This is the waste in the home kitchen.
 As a nation we have practiced extravagenee from childhood; really a natural and logical sequence in a land of appar- entlv ineXhaustible resources. where valuable hardwood trees were burned to clear the land for cultivation which same land later produced so bountifully that the corn was often used as fuel because it was too cheap to sell. Those days have passed, it is true-never to re- turn again in the United States. But the condition named was only one of many, incident to the growth of this country; and however justifiable such wastes may have been in this way, and while not practiced at the present time, they nevertheless contributed to the growth of a spirit of reckless wasteful- ness which has now pervaded all classes. Even the most thrifty immigrants, born and reared to exercise the most ex- treme economies, soon lose much Of it after a few years in America. which throws away every day in the year enough food alone to feed. and feed much better than some are now fed, a nation Of 15,000,- 0GO souls; as for instance. the combined population of Euro pean Turkey and Persla. or all of Manchuria. Perhaps We will comprehend it belter ili lcrms Of our own cities, that Is enough is wasted through care-- lessness or ignorance ill pre- paration, or thrown away after cooking, to actually feed though perhaps not quite as well as they are fed, but to sufficiently feed-the combined

man of the national commission, and
made public last night. The letter is
in reply to one written by Mr.. Herr
mann in answer to the players first
communication on the subject.
There can be no intelligent de-
nial.' reads Mr.. Fultz's letter, "of the
soundness of the principle that so long
as the player Is held under signed
contract he must receive the salary the
contract calls for. The common prac-
tce Of forcing men to go to other
teams to cut their salaries can have
neither legal nor moral justification.
You say after the player Is trans
ferred ii is a question of negotiating
between him and his new owner. How
can 1t be a question OF negotiation
when the player is compelled by your
regulations to sign with one particular
team or quit his profession? There
can he no negotiation when one party
is absolutely at the mercy of the other:
IL then becomes n question of duress
when the situation Is reversed and
the major league recruit plays far
better ball than he Is expected to he
can't WEIGH on his agreement and
refuse to play unless he gets more
money, Why. then, should the owner
have the right to withdraw from his
contract when he finds his bargain is
not quite so good as he expected?"
The letter closes with a renewal of
tho request that the commission COM
pei owners to live up to their con-
tracts with players.

NEW YORK, June Stocks lost
more ground today. although there
were indications that the selling
movement was more speculative and
less in the nature Of real liquidation.
Again the impulse to decline was fur
n,shed by overnight weakness abroad
followed by heavy sales for European
account against which only moderate
European purchases were reported.
The opening was at depressed level
corresponding with the quotations es-
sabiished earlier in London, but there
was in the forenoon a rather quick
nil around recovery of decline and the
market in the morning acted some
what better than might have been eA-
perted in view Of ;hc weakening OF
positions since last Monday and es-
pecaaily taking into account the con-
tinuation Of foreign pressure to-
gether with the character of domestic
