Young Woman's Christian associa :
ton has made place for it among its
varied interests and activities, and
has opened recreation centres, in
cities in which is centered the so
cial and recreative life of the asso
citation. Play is admitted through
gymnasium and swimming classes
where girls learn to set goals for
themselves and in the effort to reach
them, moral fibre is woven into the
Utmost being. Even a gil without
physical handicap is surprised to
find how many times she must do
the same thing before she is sure
she can do it well. She discovers
that grownups learn to use the I'M
trained parts of the body in the same
way that a baby learns to walk, only
it is harder and takes longer. In the
process of training, through a great
variety of exercises and team games,
mental powers are awakened and the
brain comes into control of the whole
range of physical activities, those of
the shop or office not less than
those in the gymnasium. The trend
of thought is changed and the phys
ical director who has had the end in
view from the beginning is able to
make clear the meaning of the en- =
during truth upon which Christianity
stands, the inseparableness of body
and spirit. The incarnation of the
spirit in bodily form as it has been

copied from this general remark. But
the other fellows have fallen off
badly.
Bresnahan has sfithered down bad
Iy, Safer is under $50, Leach is go
ing fairly well, Good has taken the
most dismal tumble of all, Corriden
seems unable to get started, and
Sweeney is away below where he
should be. Zimmerman is batting in
streaks.
All of these athletes are good bat
tiers, with the possible exception of
Corridor. 1t is only a question of
time when they will again focus their
eyes on the pill and bust hits far and
wide.
Safer doesn't belong under .2ao at
the most conservative estimate, and
neither does Sweeney. Bresnahan
has a bad thumb that makes it al
most impossible for him to properly
grip a bat, and this affects his hit
ting.
With Archer out of the fray, there
is no chance for Roger to get vaca-
ton to allow his injured member to
heal properly.
Four and half games is not bad
handicap, considering the ability of
the Giants this season. McGraw is
not bossing powerful crew, taking
all departments into consideration.
Robertson, a new outfielder, has
added some ginger to the Giant on
slaught, but the veteran players are
slipping off. They believe they can
let the other fellows get ahead, then
go out and whale in the runs. They
do not realize that they are weaker
than last year.
Three more games are yet to be
played against the Giants, and
sweep for the Cubs will only leave
them a game and half behind the

four games will still leave the margin

form yesterday. There were rumOrS
from Baltimore that Derrick was in
bad health, but President Thomas I'M
doubtedly satisfied himself of the new
mans condition, and would not have
picked him up if there was anything
wrong.
Now we have a condition where
ultimate success for the Cubs prac-
tically hinges on the ability of an ath-
lete who has been tried in the big
show and found wanting. If Derrick
can play at the gait he set in Balti-
more he will make the local team a
pennant contender of the first water.
1t he shows no more than he did
when with the Athletics and Yankees
in the American League, he will be
valueless. He can't hurt us, and he
may be the turning point.
Cheney failed against the Giants in
the first game. Fletcher busted the
affair with homer. double and sin
gle. label rescued in excellent style.
Tesreau is out of the way, and he
has always been a big obstacle to
Cub success. He is McGraw's best
bet at present, and the Giant leader
undoubtedly figured on getting the
first game for the moral effect. The
rest of the staff should be easier for
the locals.
That right field wall at the Federal
League park is a favorite spot for
long hitters now. A few of them still
manage to loft the pill over the left
fence, but it takes too stout wallop
for the majority of the athletes in
the third circuit
The frequency with which balls
are, knocked over the fence on the
North Side has led to the belief that
the distance from the plate to the
boundary of the right side of the
park is much shorter than on the
West Side.
In reality, there is little difference.

QUEEREsT COIN

From the Wide World Magazine.
 Among the strangest coins in the world are those used Tn certain out-of -the-way towns and villages in southwest Nigeria, on the west coast of Africa, and called "manillas.' In shape they resemble horseshoe with the two extremities flat tened out like a camel's foot. Being made of solid copper three-eighths of an men thick, they weigh over eight ounces each In .'face value" seven of these queer coins are equivalent to 25 cents, so that si worth would be an uncomfortably heavy load
 Not only are these "manillas used among the natives but white traders ac- cent them as legal tender for goods sold at the various stores. At one time this strangely shaped money had quite large circulation in certain parts of the coast but its use is now restricted to few bush towns and one or two of the smaller seaboard places including Bonny Brass and Akassa. ..Maniilas' are now very diff ficult to obtain. and curio collectors value them not solely by reason of their scar city, but because of the novel scrvietts rings they make when silver plated.

The Test of Love

"If ye love me, keep my command ments." John ka, 10.
 The test of love is not speech. You may be able to talk with the tongues of all the poets about how much you love, and yet not have enough real love to justify a syllable. And again you may be dumb, and notwithstand- ing have a love in you as "strong as the hills and as deep as the sea. y Don't measure your love to God by how much you can discuss it, by how eloquently you can describe it, by how skilfully you can dissect it. There is much juster standard of love.
 The test of love is not feeling. Love is feeling, but not all feeling is love. And love that stops with feeling is not yhe genuine article. Some people dis count their love to God because they are not in constant warmth, an abiding glow, sort of spiritual sweat. That is no test of love. It may be a mere vapid sentimentality, not of the same family with love-a kind of dis tant cousin by marriage.
 There are some, too, who judge love to God in terms of the hatred of life. Poetic discontent sometimes passes for iove-morbid unwilling ness to be bound by the ordinary rules of living, to be subjected to associa- ton with the common run of people, to be forced to undergo the usual ex- periences. Love to God is not tested by superiority to food. Health and holiness are one word. It is not a question of how tall, or how pale, or how thin, or how long you can float in air without touching earth.
 l If you are looking for test as tc whether you love God, or standard as to how much, you will find it ir the text used above. If ye love me keep my commandments"
 The speech and the feeling and the other-worldliness may came. But they are incidents, consequences. The mar. row of this thing is: The test of low is obedience, the desire to please,

Recovery After War

It has been said by some men who do not give due consideration to the resourcefulness of modern nations that it would take Europe many years to recover from this devastating war Assuming that the war will not be ended soon and that there will be desolation in some of the countries engaged in hostilities, peace will come in time, and then rehabilitation, physi- cal and financial, will not be long de- layed.
 In the first place, Germany, France and England, to say nothing of some of the other countries, are producing much of the food needed even while the carnage is most appalling. In the European capitals fresh butter and eggs are plentiful. Eggs are selling in Berlin, Hamburg and Paris at the rate of 25 cents a dozen, which is about half the price that New York retail grocers are charging their GUS toners as the holidays approach. In Germany the men are all gone to war, but the women are good farmers, and can, with the aid of boys too young to bear arms, raise good crops. After the war the survivors will go to work, and in year or two fields that were laid waste will blossom and bring forth abundant harvests once more. The recuperative power of great nations is certainly greater to- day than it ever was When the war does end, and end it must some day, the United States will have to keep it's mills and factories running day and night, month in and month out, to supply the commodities that will be in demand, and in a little while after fighting ceases the whole world will be on boom.
