Our national fault Is to make a good

That means drive. night and day. A

Years after, I was astonished to learn
that two promotions followed such en-

BASE BALL CAT IN THE CITY.
A Game Dangerous to Players and
Passersby.


Probably the most popular street zane
for young men and boys in the washing-
ton Heights district on Sundays IL ..oat'.
Tho outfit consists of a round stick aAoaf
three feet long. usually a sawed-ofa broom
handle. and a small piece Of wood about
three inches long. tapering to q point al
one end.
The idea OF the game is to place L..
smaller piece OF wood at certain epot in
the gutter. tap the pointed end OF II.
causing the smaller piece OF wood 10
spring into the air. and before IL reaches
the ground to hit 1t a resounding blow
with the larger piece. driving the smaller
piece as far as the force OF the blow will
send II. The person hitting the cat
runs to spot designated as first base,
and he continues his journey around the
bases with the aid Of his teammates. pro
vided his side Is not retired In the
meantime. This is known as base bal

The question Of inducing prospecting

one OF prime Importance Tho laws OF

EFFECT ON WORLD
/. OF MAN-MADE GOLD
What Might Happen if Pre-
cious Yellow Metal Were
Manufactured.

The interesting problem was raised by
ono of the French reviews recently, what
would happen if gold were produced in
such enormous quantities as to sink
in value to the level Of the baser metals?
The three contingencies discussed were
the extraction Of gold from sea water.
which was dismissed as too expensive to
be attainable; the increase from existing
mines. which would be neghgiole from
the sensational standpoint OF the argu-
ment, and the probability OF the rroduc-
ton Of gold by chemical means

Vice President Marshall
Favors Present Relations
Between U. S. and District

Vice President Marshall Joined the side
OF the District In its fight to retain the
present financial relationships with the
general government in the course Of a
ringing address before mass meeting
held under the auspices OF the Young
Nomen's Christian Association at the
Belasco Theater yesterday afternoon. Tho
meeting was held in the interest of a
campaign for funds for the Y. W. Z. A.
which was started today.
Vice President Marshall was introduced
by Secretary Daniels OF the Navy De-
partment and on the platform was a
large group of government officials, mem
bers Of Congress and residents Of the
District. In the boxes and audience were
many more representative people.
Mr.. Marshall said the right of free
speech was more theory than an actual
ity, but that he proposed to speak his
real feelings concerning the District. He
declared that it is the duty of the federal
government to maintain its present re-
1ations TO the District in the appropria-
ton of funds for the municipal govern
ment and the identification of the Ma
tional Capital until such time as it can
do better for the local government"

work Of the Y. W. c. A. He mentioned
the passage OF the Kenyon red light

more good. he said, but the duty of pre-
venting women from falling into such a

ONLY A PARDON CAN

Review Of Convicted Bridge Work
ers' Cases Refused by Su-
preme Court.

The United States Supreme Court today
refused to grant a review OF the con-
viction in the .dynamiting cases. of
Frank NJ. Ryan and twenty-three other
members Of the bridge workers union.
Only a pardon can now keep the con-
victed men out Of the penitentiary.
The conviction of Ryan and his fell
low associates in the International As
ISOLATION of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers resulted from the blowing up Of
the Los Angeles Times building and other
structures throughout the country.
The government sought to show that
approximately 100 different explosions
had taken place as result Of a con-
spiracy among the labor men.
The men who sought to have the
Supreme Court interfere with their con-
viction and at least grant them a new
trial were: Frank NJ Ryan, John H.
Barry. Eugene A. Clancy, Micheal J..
Young. Frank c. Webb, Philip A. Cooley.
John T. Butler. J. E Munsey. Peter J.
Legleitner, Edward Smythe, George An
derson, Ernest w. Basey. W. Bert Brown,
Paul J. Morrin. William e. Reddin.
Michael J. Cunnane, Michael J. Hannah.
Frank E. Painter, William Shupe and
Fred Mooney.
Indicted for Conspiracy.
The government. however, did not indict
the labor leaders on charges OF blowing
up tho buildings, but with conspiracy
to carry explosives on interstate trains
on which passengers were riding.
The prosecution. Of Ryan and his asso-
ciates resulted from the arrest Of Ortie
McManigal, in connection with the blow
ing up of the Los Angeles Times build
ing. One OF the grounds upon which the
Supreme Court was asked to review the
case was that McManigal. being a CO.
defendant. should not have been permit
ted to testify against the other defend
ants.
Ryan was sentenced to seven years;
ana Mynsey to s,x Betty ond Smith to
four; Beum, Legleitner, Smythe, Ander-
son, Basey. Brown. Morf1n, Reddin. Cum
name, Hannah, Pennell, three; Higgins

MUNICIPAL SAVINGS.

Having cash to work with is great thing to municipality, as well as to a business concern, or to a private individual. The city has some cash this month, due to the liquor revenue. The bills for the public utilities are subject to a 25 per cent discount if paid in cash. Think of what a say. ing that means. In other words, We pay % per cent more for public sery. ice when We haven't the cash. The monthly bills presented to the city aiso proved the advantage of cash. Some bills had been made out arVss ipating script payments. When they were paid in cash 20 per cent was deducted. It is too bad that the rev enne system in our cities of Arkansas is so handicapped by state laws that we are generally deprived of the op- partunity of working on a cash basis all the year

PROOF or INERTIA.

That il seemed necessary for the Board of Health to refuse further to assume the responsibility for san. itary conditions. unless the city and the citizens co-operatad with the board, seems further proof of the inertia of the community
 Certainly no question is of more vital importance to any community than its sanitation. And if santa. tIon Is important to the average city. haw much more is it important 10 the first health resort of the world?
 We have splendid Board of Health. We have efficient and az gressive health officers of city and county If they received support there is no doubt but their work would be effective.
 When the Beard of Health looked ahead into the conditions that would exist with the first warm days of our early spring. that foresight should be appreciated. The council acknowledg- ed that foresight when it called a special meeting for Thursday evening to take steps towards helping the board.
 We have had afflictons enough. The ones we have suffered have been of the kind that foresight would have saved, as well as of the kind that could not be foreseen. Our sanitary surroundings will be whatever we make them, nothing better and noth. ing worse.
