K. OF C. SENT
JOHNNY EVERS OVER
Interest In League Baseball Has
Increased Amazingly
"Over There"
THE KNIGHTS SEEK MEN

/ Since the Knights of Columbus
sent Johnny Evers, headliner in big
league baseball, to France, an amaz-
/ ing increase of interest in the Amer
lean national game abroad is noted.
The French soldiers are being taught
fine points of the game by men direct
ed by Evers, and American soldiers
are organizing baseball teams in
every company.
The Knights, featuring outdoor ath-
letics in their war relief activities,
have kept steadily in view the needs
of our troops in this direction, and
have sent overseas as secretaries,
many noted athletes. The latest to
be accepted, is Peter j. Noonan, for
merly of Ever's old team, the Chi
cago Cubs, the Philadelphia Athletics
and the St Louis Cardinals.
Noonan, of late years has owned
and managed the Wilkesbarre (Pa.,)
team. He sought service in the Army
and Navy, but crippled fingers, caused
by accidents in baseball games, was
the reason given for his rejectment.
Noonan is lawyer by profession, and
was practicing law at Wilkesbarre
when notified that he had been accept
ed as X of c. secretary. He was
educated a. Holy Cross and George
town University, and played on the
ball teams at both these places.
Noonan probably will have oppor-
tunities of seeing the war at near
range, now that the Knights have mo-
torized practically their entire organ
ization in the lighting zone, an huge
fleet of motor trucks, carrying sup
pies and in charge of X. of c. secre-
taries is following close at the heels of
the American troops headed toward
Berlin.
The Knights are seeking men be-
tween As and so years old for secre-
taryships overseas, and as there is an
abundance of splendid secre.arial
material in Wilkesbarre, it is probable
other applications will be filed with
the K of C. Committee on War Activi-
ties, 461 Fourth Avenue, New York
city.

HIGH WORTH OF
OF BANANA FLOUR

Concerning the value of banana
flour there is no possible question.
Henry NJ Stanley. while he was in
Darkest Africa, tested that matter
thoroughly For something like two
years it was one of the staple foods on
which he lived, and his testimony re-
garding it is both clear and convinc-
ing, through the -four he had was
made in the most primitive fashion, by
the natives among whom he was liv-
ing, and was not comparable, save
in the single particular of cost, with
the -four that has been produced and
is being produced today in New York
city.
The worlds available supply of
bananas is practically inexhaustible.
Growing wild as the banana does with
all the excessive prodigality of trop-
ical vegetation, in localities far out
side the ken of civilization. there is no
way of estimating the possible extent
of the annual crop, but it may be said
that enough bananas to feed the
world grow somewhere each year.
Moreover, modern science has dis
covered the methods by which this
banana flour can be made OF the par
TALLY ripe fruit in such fashion that
it will keep almost Indefinitely almost
anywhere.

MAKING WAR PAY

The idea has been thoroughly drilled
into the minds Of the German people, that
war Is q paying proposition. Gradually
thew have been enlarging their boundarr-
IA and adding to their wealth BY war.
Fifty years ago they conquered Schles-
winHolGtein from Denmark They de.
feated Austria, and made her suD)ect
state. A few years later they conquered
France, and stole Alsace Lorraine.
These wars have been profitable TO the
Germans. They extracted an enormous
indemnity from France that larfely paid
the cost Of the Franco German war. In
taking Alsace Lorraine they got the most
profitable iron mines in Europe. This
was an enormous help to their CONNER
cial expansion, and it gave them an enof.
NOUS amount Of war material. The world
will be at peace when Germany loses this
supply Of munition stuff.
Il has been very easy for the rulers Of
Germany to convince the German people
that war pays. So the army is exalted in
Germany as the greatest Of institutions
( It is not an army for defense like ours.
1t is an army to make pirate raids on the
property of other nations.
The Germans have long been lookingto
America for their next move. They want
territory south Of the equator. They
would have grabbed some down there
years ago had not other nations refused
to sanction the proceeding. If they were
to win this war, they would soon be look
ing for expansion in our hemisphere.
This would conflict with our historic pol
Saw cvJ c,,, MorrOo nOctyino
It has always been our principle that
European powers should secure no new
territory on this side Of the Atlantic. We
should have to fight to maintain that
principle against Germany. However, II
we fight the war to the finish, we shall
probably convince Germany that Ameri-
can territory is sour grapes for which she
does not care.

WINNING THE WAR-NON-C COM
BATANT FORCES

It is mystery to some Of us why Ger
many, with population less than the
combined population Of Great Britain
and France, is able to keep such trem-
endous army in the field in spite Of great
losses.
One reason is said to be the Prussian
tradition that every. possible man should
be kept in the combatant forces of the
army and that no men who are not fitted
for actual fighting should be doing non
comabtant work. A great many esti-
mates Of the number Of men on our fight
ing lines are useless, because we don't
know how many Of them are detailed for
non-combatant work. If there are many
thousands of men handling supplies and
operating automobiles who should be in
the trenches, it is obvious that fighting
power is greatly reduced.
It will be poor policy for our govern
ment to insist strongly for rigid physical
tests for the men who are going across to
do non-combatant work. All our men who
are capable Of army service should be in
the fighting line. Then we can take the
men who are thrown out for poor eve.

fects not Of serious character and let

WHY TOWNS GROWING. 2

Town growth is apt to depend on hav-
ing product the demand for which is in
creasing. For instance, here Is the case
Of two towns that twenty years ago were
manufacturing shoes. One turned out
heavy, clumsy brogans, Of Z style rapidly
growing absolete. Another town Of the
same size kept more closely up to- the
times, and produced : shoe Of . lighter
The town that made old fashioned bro
gans Is now almost without any manu-
featuring industry. Nearly I'll it, little
factories are now filled with cobwebs.
While the other place has in two decades
doubled in population.
This principle applies to al manufac-
turing communities, and In slightly Diff
ferent way to agricultural sections also.
Thus. . town ,dopends very largely on
he alertuesS Of II producing elementh,
In f0recasting the future II its indus
tries can fix on some line for which there
Is going to be an increased demand, they
are certain to grow. The expansion will
come almost without effort. All they
have to do is to keep turning out de-
pendable product, and the orders keep
piling in.
It is not enough for producers to keep
turning out the same old thing year after
year: And If they depend simply on what
information they pick up from the trade
in the ordinary course Of business, they
may fail to foresee the future.
The far sighted producer has no special
gift of second sight. His foresight does
not come by luck. He is very close OBJ
server Of the habits of the people, in their
daily life and mechanical processes. He
reads trade papers and works of techni-
cal information, and becomes expert in
forecasting industrial development.
