U. S. CONTROL OF
MAJOR LEAGUES
IS ADVOCATED
Baseball Players Would Be-
come National Entertainers
Under New Plan.

Agitation for government control OF
major leagues issued from Chicago
Monday
With Redistribution OF Class Four
men going on all over the country, It
will play havoc with the national game
and may force magnates to close
down before the end Of the season.
Government control Of major league
baseball may solve the complex
problems.
The president. under this scheme
could appoint baseball director with
power similar to that Of McAdoo over
the railroads. The major baseball
properties would simply be taken over
by the government until the end OF
the war.
Hardly a we'll informed baseball
man in United States believes that
the major leagues will continue to
operate when draft boards have requis-
ition on all Class Four men. Govern
ment control is about the only way
out providing that most OF the stars
in the majors are to be reclassif1ed.
The major league players under this
scheme would become government en-.
retained for military drill. patriotic
close Of the war.
Maanates Must Make Offer.
This plan would have to come from
the magnates and be in the form Of
an offer to the government. The mag
mates would have to offer the use OF
their properties for government base
ball until the close OF the war. The
entire proceeds of games, after the
club owners had been given percent
age of the profits. could be turned
over for athletic activities In the
camps, for training and equipping the
home guard and for providing mate
rial aid for our boys lover there"
The dwindling attendance at some
Of the parks occasioned by lack of
interest for purely local reasons would
not be the order as now. Fans would
want to attend the games for patriotic
reasons, IS we'll as to see their favor
tie clubs perform. Capacity crowds
would be the order, provided the
leagues were properly operated.
Under such plan 1t would be nee
essary for the government to guaran-
tee the exemption of players who
might be taken TO the service under
General Crowder's work or fight order.
The plan would mean a sacrifice on
the part Of the magnates, but it would
be patriotic move calculated to pro-
long the life Of major league baseball.
Isn't 1t better for baseball to go on as
a government enterprise, with all its
beneficial influence ramifying to every
military organization. than for the
leagues to shut down until the close
of the war?
Government Gets Receipt.
That millions Of Americans are en-.
tertained by 800 ball players Of the
major leagues and that the 240 eligible
eventually for military service would
be only drop in the bucket for the
Army and Navy would be a potent
argument for the government in &C
cepting such an offer. Under the new
scheme the war tax would be eliminat-
ed, for the whole proceeds would go
to the government. Plans for moving
pictures and other entertainments of
a patriotic kind in the evenings could
be arranged for the parks. All the
managers now in the game would be
retained and would hold their posi-

Furthermore I feel 1t my duty to aid

A short time ago my little grand
daughter (aged 2 years. was afflicted

LUe'S Problems
Are Discussed

Before the war we women were
drowned in leisure. We did not rea-
lize it and of course every one
of us will deny it now-but there
is abundant proof that, in the words
of good old DR.. Watts. Satan found
mischief for idle hands to do.
For one thing, we built up an
elaborate sex convention in regard to
babies bonnets and other belong
ings. We felt it was absolutely
necessary for girl baby to have a
rosette over each ear; bereft of this
the bonnet was without sex and void
But we should have regarded it
as sacrilege to thus adorn a small
lord of creation - even at the age
of six weeks. No, he must have a
rosette on the top of his bonnet, so
as to present warlike and men
acing aspect.
And the mothers aunts and grand
mothers regarded this he and "she"
business of the bonnet question as
thing of cosmic Importance. It's
place in the scheme of things they
felt to be somewhere between the
fixed stars and the laws of the
Medes and Persians, and there was a
general feeling that no good could
come from tampering with it.
Feelings Were Hurt
And if anyone gave a boy baby
bonnet with two rosettes. or a
girl baby bonnet with one, every
one connected with that grossly in
suited infant had his or her feelings
deeply hurt.
Usually the mischief began right
there, over emphasizing the sex
question while children were still in
first conscious breaths girl babies
were implored to be refined" while
boy babies were entreated to be
brave" and take their castor oil
Unconsciously each of these small
unfortunates began storing up i'm
pressions that later on meant a ball
and chain on their heels. Mary felt
she must be refined and little lady
and to get her clothes dirty or
her haiar rumpled was to break all
the commandments at once.

After the Grippe

To regain your health and strength
a~ain you must take a tonic, and for
this purpose the Medical Profession
is prescribing Iron, Nux Vomica'
Gentian, Capsicum and Zinc Phos-
phide in some form. Many prepa-
rations containing Iron are very
constipating, but this is overcome by
the addition of Aloin in Chase's
Blood and Nerve Tablets, which con-
tain all of the above tonic remedies
In these Tablets you have all that
is good in tonic medicines without
any harmful effects. They are safe
and sure health builders and at this
particular time it would be hard to
overestimate their value.
Weigh yourself before taking them
and see what you gain in weight and
strength.
Nearly all druggists sell Chase's

And II we have been hidebound in

earshot of the house. These games
come under the head Of romplng,
which is supposed to be as deplor-
able for Mary's manners as for her
clothes, not to mention the noise,
which is hard on "grownups."
The consequence was that If Mary
was a young person with her full
share of animal spirits, she was
obliged to do a. bit of sneaking now
and then, or indulge in sedentary
games.
These may have saved her clothes
and the nerves of her relatives, but
they were bad for Mary's muscles

to be under-developed, and the lat

much savagery. Mary not enough.
And all on account of that unduly
anticipated bugbear sex, which
should have been as much ignored
as possible in the interest of both
children.

CHATTER Ii


We drove home from Jim's din
ner in the state of utter quiet which
is likely to follow a day packed over
full with excitement.
Now and then Evvy's spirit fiared
up. But Jim was so tired-or so
completely wrapped in his own
thoughts-that he did not respond,
l felt sorry for ENVY now. / had

Neal rose dutifully to waltz with

"Jlm. did you risk every cent you

cried with my hand on my dry

"And my pockets were all too small

biggest gamble of all-the gamble
with life-and death?"

ablaze, and spots of color glowing
lurid on his cheeks-my husband
seemed aaame with the far spirit l
never could touch, the spirit of fly
ing. That was sacred. 1t held me
silent, awe-struck for moment.
And in the pause Jim went on-but
now he struck another note-irrit-
ably: e.
For PHYS sake. don't preach,
Anne. Leave that to Virginia. Sup

chance now and then. Taking a
chance discovered America, didn't

couldn't reply. When he said Don't

my hands on his shoulders while

"Dear-couldn't you give it up for

can't afford to risk so much. We
have to get established in the world,
Just that is exciting enough-a real

I've known you. Can't you put 1t
out of your life for always?"
Jim caught my wrists in his hands.
and tore my clasp from his should
