Recreation and Interest

Here in this country we go to ball
games and play golf or tennis about the
same as usual. We still look for our ex-
ercise and recreation, but the old inter
est isn't the same. Back of us, around
us and beyond us there are too many
heavy shadows from far greater events.
Inc tines are too tense for one to play
with any buoyancy of heart or heart or
lightness OF soul.
To explain this, on two occasions this
last week we saw two happenings bs-
yond all parallel:
