about transferring franchises, and
doubts about ability Of certain
leagues to complete their schedules.
The fans get their ideas up too
high. One single error. and the
bleachers begin to "crab." Another
one, and the seats resound with
Take him out" Which doesn't
help nervous player to do his part
any better.
1t doesn't cost much to sit on
baseball bleachers and yell at play
ers who make occasional errors.
But if people who do most of the
knocking" are solicited to subscribe
a dollar to help make up the deficit
in the ball team. they are not there.
Baseball has become a costly and
difficult sport in many cities for the
reason that the public will not be
satisfied unless it has a winning
team. 1t is not so much exhibitions
of good baseball that it wants. 1t
demands the chance to see hated ri
walls bite the dust of defeat. If a
IOoul ue&o q lOoiuS oIiOoh, 40 dIICuu-
ance is apt to drop one-half.
1t is this character of the crowd
that has led to the absurdly high
salaries earned by ball players. 1t is
an illogical, disproportion, when a
young man just out of his teens can
earn $50 and 500 and more per
week, while others with equal or bet
ter brains are taking business jobs
at 5000 pay.
The baseball pace has been fever
ish. The players have sensed their
advantage. Once they acquired some
reputation for speed, they were beset
by managers, and were able to name
their own figure. But conditions like
these are not apt to be permanent.
Wealthy men who have financed
many of the minor league teams have
become tired of the costliness of their
fad. The public is economizing
through these war times, and play
ers' salaries are closer to a normal
basis.
Having exhausted every other sub
ject for sensational slush, certain
writers are now engaged
in the kindergarten pastime of mobil
izing the boy scouts for war.

Correspondence Course of Study,
. ~<~>>>>>>>>>>>>

A familiar picture in newspaper
and magazine advertising is that of
a working man held down to some
poorly paid job, because of his lack
of effort and ambition The attempt
is made to convey the idea that by
taking some correspondence school
course, he could fit himself to rise.
While many of these hopes prove
1ilusory, there are also many cases
where such study is a means to a
bigger opportunity.
Young people who wish to rise
must get out of the beaten track.
They are too apt to see some posi-
ton a little above them that they
think they might inherit in case of
death or resignation. So they may
wait many years for an opening that
never comes.
1t they really want larger respon-
sibilities, they must fit themselves for
the larger task. The correspondence
course, if wisely chosen, may be the
means Of opening new door. The
great trouble with it is that so many
young people take courses for which
they are not fitted.
Many young men try by CORES
pondence to gain entrance to some
weary difficult field. For these call
fngs years at professional or tech
nical school give none too much
preparation. After working even
3ngs for a year or two, the student
has a smattering of his subject. But
1T would be pure gamble to give up
his regular salary on such remote
chances. He quits study, and settles
down to lifetime at some poorly
paid work. Had he attempted some
thing within his reach, the results
would have been far different.
= One of the most useful kinds of
correspondence courses would be
those provided now by many agricul-
tural schools. Young farmers might
as well study an hour evenings as
yawn around and go to bed at nine
O'Clock. They would learn scientific
facts they could never get from their
fathers or the home traditions of the
neighborhood. There is little excuse
for unsuccessful farm work in these
days when scientific information is
so freely offered.

SHIPS NEED OF AUSTRALIA
Grain of Little Value Without Trans.
portation, as Little of It Is Used
at Home.

"Australfa's food production this
year will average normal; it is neither
unusually heavy nor light, but there
is going to be considerable difficulty
in handling the crops, because there
are no facilities for transportation"
said II. w. Stephens, a merchant Of
Melbourne, who was visiting the Unit
ed States. 1.-THE greatest need of Aus
tralia today is transportation. Until
ship tonnage is provided it is almost
useless for the farmers to complete
their harvesting, as it requires only q
small percentage of the crops to sup
ply the domestic needs. Heretofore
great quantities of grain have been
shipped to England and it is still going
overseas, but in not sufficient quantity
for England needs wheat now as never
before. But without ships it is impos'
sible for US to send our Whea'
abroad.
"The wheat crop of Australia was
damaged to some extent by MICE anu
until the farmers learned how to COM
bat this pest it threatened to become
a serious menace. The farmers USED
poison, water, gas and other means
and finally got rid of them"

more than half billion dollars.
A fast modern airplane has an aver.

means that to keep 10000 airplanes on
