Brave Warriors.-We have with us
during the war many brave men who
left the European monarchies to
come to this land of the free and
home of the brave.
Not being over there they don't
have to carry guns and get killed. But
that doesn't prevent them from fight
ing with entire safety.
Some of the bravest of them are
writing fierce editorials now, tearing
the living daylights out of the enemy

ner speeches, fairly ringing with pa
triotic zeal.
Go to it, comrades. Give 'em fits.
Keep on fghting-over here-and
may you live long and prosper, and
never have to face or carry a gun.
Oratorical warfare is the kind we
like. 1t doesn't strew battlefields with
dead and wounded.
1t would be blessing if our broth
ers in Europe could fight it out with
conversation.
And you who are here-love your
native land all you darned please
and remain in our midst and live for
it and our Country, too. 1t is far bet

this also. In many cases the paper

THAT afternoon 100000 people were
in the grandstands when the Chicago
New York game was called. We used
to thinA that was a crowd in the oh
days. Old Bill was in the box. Blink
er was at bat for Chicago. Bill sailed
one over. Blinker looked at it in
amazement. 1t was perfectly
straight, slow ball, right where Blinker
could kill it. BIinker pulled down
his cap, set himself and waited. ready
to knock it out of the lot. The ball
came over. 1t was the same kind as
before. Blinker swung. But as it
was about to connect with the ball
his bat jumped about two inches and
he missed. He tried it three times.
Then he went back to the bench look
ing puzzled.
That was the way it went the
whole game Bill was serving up
straight, slow ones right over the
heart of the plate and the Chicagos
We're swinging at them, and missing
them because their bats jumped about
two inches just before they met the
ball.
With New York it was just the
other way. They'd swing at ball
way outside the plate and the bat
would shoot over and connect. When
the last man was out the score stood:
Chicago 0, New York 10. And Bill had
pitched as he was ordered.

FINDING NAMES FOR NOVELS
Modern Authors Differ From Those of
the Past in Selecting Titles for
Their Volumes.

Modern novelists find it difficult to
find titles for their books, but, charac-
teristically, Dickens could always hit
on score or so of titles for his
books, and found difficulty only in the
selection of one from among so many.
For "Bles6 House." for instance, he
drew u a list of twelve possible IT,
tles-iLcluding The Ruined House."
"Tom-all-alone's, THE Solitary
House." THE East Wind" BLEAK
House anG the East Wind"-and SUD-
mitted it to Forster for selection. 1t
is worth noting that in the end Dick
ems always chose the most effective
of the titles he devised.
Talking of titles for stories, how is
it that the eponymous title is Stunned
by modern authors and frowned upon
by publishers? Surely the name of
your hero or heroine should be good
enough for a novel. Fielding, Smol-
lett, Sterne, Thackeray, Dickens,
Meredith all favored the eponymous
title, and it is certainly easier to re-
member than any other What could
be better than "Tristram Shandy," or
"Pendennis," or David Copperfield,"
or Richard Feveral"? Mr.. Pugh's
TONY Drum" is perfect title,
worthy of that remarkable book. The
catchy title that so many modern
writer's seem to strain after is, as
often as not, by no means easy to re-
member, and when you have finished
the book you wonder what the title
has to do with it. Let us get back to
simplicity in this matter-London
