War Heroe. az caddies.

A new solution of the caddie prob
lem is being tried out at the Walton
Heath links In Great Britain. Here
the aged and infirm are given prece-
dence over boys who ought to be In
school or casual loafers. It is hoped
that many soldiers who are partially
incapacitated by the war will be able
to earn a living by this method. The
old men are guaranteed a minimum
sum of 10 shillings week and are al
lowed to keep everything they earn In
excess of this amount.

In many ways Joe Tinker, manager
of the Chicago National league team, is.
the most interesting person in organ
lied baseball. For many years he play
ed shortstop on the Chicago pennant
winning teams managed by Chance
But it was as teammate of Johnnie
Evers, now captain of the Boston
Braves, that his skill at short made
him famous Fans say today that the
Tinker Eyers combination has never
been eXcelled on the ball field. Tin
kers detection from organized ball
was the turning point in favor of the
Federal league and enabled that COM
bination to fight the two older leagues
to finish. He managed the Chicago
Feds last year and won the pennant.
He expresses confidence that he will
repeat that feat in this years race In
the National league.

THE PAID WORKERS IN POLITICS

H
 Politics from the theoretical view point is quite dir :erent from the real thing. Men of the sreformer type de- nounce the expenditure of money in canvassing for votes But these same men, when they set out to carry an election. may find themselves forced to hire workers to get out the votes of tbeir sympathizers.
 Nevertheless, the custom of hiring paid canvassers leads to many abuses. 1t imposes a heavy burden on candi- dates. The poor. man, is at dis advantage. The man with the bar'l carries elections when the drift. of public sentiment is against him. A gang of political heelers is developed who practically blhckmail candidates into buying their influence. {
 Printers ink is the one means of campaigning that is not open to these abuses. The paid worker solicits votes by playing on prejudice and i'll feeling. But when'a candidate or a committee uses newspaper publicity, they have to appeal to reason rather than prejudice. or they injure their own cause. M

 It does not augur well for future happiness for a bride or groom 10 commence finding fault with each otn- CT ere the honeymoon has bareiy Waned. Marriage is always an eye opener to the most romantic, deluoeu pair It is Wisdom for both to nora the tongue concerning what they nave found out about each other
 If the wife likes to sit up into the wee sma' hours reading novels|a habit the husband never dreamed sne possessed-he will not gain In her opinion Or affections by railing grossly at her. The memory of an unklnd word can last for years. Wise IS the man who would calmly remark, When you have finished reading, De sure you turn the light quite out ana see that the door is locked" then turn his back and drift peacefully out into land of dreams. Wifey would not De half so apt. to turn the pages over tantalizingly until broad daylight.
 If a wife discovers her bridegroom spends half of his salary in cigars ana treating friends-is actually a spend thrift, a fact that she never knew De- fore-instead of raising great row over the missing sum from his weekly pay envelope she should by womanly tact and loving kindness wean him from his fault by degrees without giv- ing him so much as a hint that she had discovered his weakness and was devoting all her energies to battling against it. If she denounced him as Jspendthrift, he would lose at once his fear of her finding it out.
 And so on with the trif1ing faults of each to the greater ones. The reason why some married couples cannot agree is because they find singular pleasure in throwing up to each other the faults they have. discovered. The husband who believes his wife thinks him a king among men will No his best to hoodwink her continually and put his best foot forward. If he thinks she has all the faith in the world in him, no matter how tickle his disposition is, he will refrain from making eyes at every pretty girl he meets, at least while in her company. If he thinks he has fooled her into the belief that he does not know the taste of liquor. he will take pains to dose his breath well with cloves after a convivial hsur with men friends at cafe ere he turns homeward, and to salute her with a kiss. e., wisely for bears even mentioning cloves and he chuckles over his eleverness in delud- ing his dearie.
