With Gandi al tho bat:

You'll hear an awful roar.
For Zeb and Dan will cross the pan
And even up the score;
But watch dat Chick when predict
Dat he will win dis game,
In de or Fox Hall O. Fame. -.
"Chick amt afraid Of lightning
And he amt a-scared o. rain.

And from the time the first balls pitched
Dere never is minute

He's always strictly in 1t.
He made US what we am today.
He put us in the race.
He put the climb in Climbers,
And he put 'em second place:
'.And now that you have got my drift
Ill snow some after while:
We've got de greatest show on earth
Just watch my 2 style"
Ev'ry movement was n picture
AS he balanced his rope
A-shouting to the audience:
I've got Joe Woods goat.
The fans gave their approval
When Chick rubbed his hands with dirt;
Aud the fanettes all applauded
As he wiped 'em on his shirt;
And when. responding to their cheers,
He lightly doned his hat.
No one at the capital could doubt
Twas Gandtl at the bat.
They'd rather see Chick bat than Cobb:
He isn't such a cinch,
But for working all the corners
He's the greatest in q pinch.
Chicks got Napoleon's strategy,
File knows lust when to hit .....

With hit that meant the game for us
And not a Waterloo.

And he was quite sincere;

The Jews and Jesus Christ |

Speaking on Christianity at the Poplar Street Jewish Temple of which he is Rabbi, Dr. ". H. Fineshriber, a Jewish man of high standing on last Friday night gave utterance to ideas which to many of the Gentiles, is as strange as can be and yet it is most agreeable to those of Christian faith to know the Jew better.
 Jesus, said Rabbi Fineshriber, had no intention of giving to the world the religion which was named after Him, but his teach ings were aimed as rerpimand to the spiritless observances of His time, Saul, known to thc Christians as Paul, was scholar, philosopher and theologian. he said, and like all new converts began to discover the worst features in the religion he had quilted, and became the bitter est persecutor of his former com panions.
 Saul, I believe" " he continued Twas the dominating factor in Christianity as it is known today. With his influence there is also the influence of the Greek; the Platonic school of philosophy which has been woven into Christianity. the effect of the teachings of the philosophers of India, and, above all, the un- questioned influence of the Roman empire.
 Nor A DESTROYER
 Christ was no destroyer of Judaism. In truth. he sought to be it's fulfller. The great works accomplished in the name of Christianity, in my mind. would have been given the world hv the Jewish faith had the teachings of Jesus not been made so objectionable by the persecu- tions of Saul" he said.
 The day is at hand, hesldeclar- ed, for the Jew to universally acknowledge the value of the teachings of Jesus and that only by unprejudiced and unbiased survey of Christianity as a great religion can he realize the worth of his own faith. The antagon. ism existing between the Jew and the Christian. he declared, lis disappearing.
 He outlined the standards by which the final summing uE would be made when the last days have come, Religions. ht said, whether they be Jewish, Christian or Mohamedan or what ever their name, will be judged 1 by the standing, which, accord ing to my mind, Is not for pray Ier, because all religion pray; no' frome thics, because all religions have a code of ethics and Z standard of morals, but religion lin my mind will be judged upol its merits to create a feeling 0. sympathy between men tha will banish misunderstanding and forever put an end to tha' grim spectacle of war.

The story of Dorothy's achieve
ment is one in which many American
parents should find a vital interest. |
1t may serve to save some girl from |
sacrifice to the stupidity of those |
fathers and mothers who frown down |
their daughters hunger for whole
some outdoor exercises and frolic |
with the 'tomboy" rebuke.
Mothers who prohibit the active |
play of their girls on the foolish plea
that it is "unladylike" and "undigni- |
fed" are shining deeply against their
children. They are stunting, and
maybe actually helping slowly to kill, |
those dearest to. them. /
Grit and persistent exercise of |
lungs and muscles are the big essen
tials in building sound and beautiful |
bodies.
Any girl who has fighting chance
can do what Dorothy did, l am sure. |
She was 10 years old when |
stricken with scarlet fever. Compi- |
cations necessitated operations which |
brought her to the verge of death.
''Take her to the beach," advised |
our surgeon. "That will help if any |
thing can" No mysterious formulas!
No expensive medicines! Simple ad-
vice to "let her swim" .-..-
Her father and 1 didn't have the |
fatalism of laziness. We set to work |
in fearful earnest.
Our girl weighed just 49 pounds
when we arrived at the seashore So |
shattered were her nerves that we |
could not speak to her, could not |
make the slightest noise, without |
throwing her into a crying spell.
But she learned to swim.
And seven weeks later her weight |
had increased to 72 pounds.

cheeks. Slowly the rasped nerves

how many mothers have heard say
that. And how utterly unfounded

even with boys-and not lose YES

My daughter does all these things,
and not one of her boy companions
has ever addressed her or touched her

In fact, our experience shows that
outdoor sports inspire a more abid-
ing respect between boys and girls
than any other form of intermingling.
