base ball slump. Something Is wrong,

players. when a team that has been 60

that something that lis wrong when the
team slumps? Pitchers and batters are
suddenly, simultaneously. affected by loss
Of nerve. They simply cannot fool the
opposing batsmen or push the ball out
OF the reach of the ielders. Games are
lost by one-run margins, for the lack OF
single hit. or for the making of just
such a single hit by the enemy. Weather
influences may count for something, but
both sides are equally exposed to them
II il In truth this element of uncer-

many angles of play and strategy. the

The District and the Country.

Good missionary work for the District
was done at Chicago by Mrs. Ellis Lo-
gan, president of the District Of Column
oia Federation of Woman's Clubs, when
before the national convention of that
organization she appealed to the national
pride in the federal capital, which is the
city of all the people OF the country. Mrs.
Logan's specific proposition was that it
is incumbent upon the people of the coun-
try at large, through their representatives
in Congress. to maintain the equitable
system which has resulted in the devel-
opment Of the Washington of today. with
its rich possibilities for the future.
Advantage should be taken of every
opportunity to bring. as in this case, at
tention to the fact that Washington Is a
national city, that 1t is dependent upon
congressional legislation. that it requires
national aid in development and mainte-
nance. owing to its non-industrial charac-
ter. that the system under which 1t has
thrived and advanced TO its present state
Of evolution as model capital city is
now menaced by legislators who would
tear down the present structure without
substituting for it adequately and equita-
bly,. 1t is important to bring these facts
before the people OF all the states, some
of whom come hero as tourists and all
regard Washington a. the supreme
American objective Of travel.

from their fixed posts they should be en-
couraged and enabled to reach the scene
of need. in any case arising, with the
least delay. And it il vitality important
that no consideration Of economy on their
part should ever operate to check them.
Nor. on the other hand. should the mu-
nicipality impose upon them any restric-
ton which calls upon them to sacrifice
what is to them proportionately large
expenditure for car fare.
Ideally. there should be the freest pos
sible means of official activity on the
part of all employees of the District. But
IL any distinction is to be made between
various classes of workers for the mu-
nicipal government, the policemen and
iremen, from the very nature OF their
occupations and responsibilities, should be
put in special class, to make them VIZ
tually Independent in the matter of local
travel. The more free these men feel to
use the street cars the more valuable
they become to the community. The for
mer smethod of permitting them to ride
free without tickets was wholly satisfac-
tory and enlarged their efficiency. The
new law specifically prohibits such dis
elimination, and some other means must
be found to give them their former free
dom and range of action. An appropria-
ton Is under consideration for this pur-
pose, and 1t should be SO large that no
policeman or fireman will ever feel the
least question about jumping street car
to make better time in getting about the
