destruction of the established order.
Baseball and other SPORTS it. is
argued, are but the present day per-
petuation of this trick of the moneyed
classes to keep the working people
in order. Gould the ball games and
other sports but be abolished, our
people would stay at home, mediate
on their wrongs, and raise and over
turn the classes that enslave them.
With this philosophy of gloom,
the average man can have but little
sympathy. AS matter of fact, the
capitalist of to-day is not over
friendly to baseball. The office boys
and the stenographers have too many
grandmothers' funerals during the
season. Also it is mighty hard to run
the plant after the hour when the
when the game is called.
Probably nothing makes a man
more normal, more better able to
see things in common sense way,
than to get out into the open air and
"holler" and forget his troubles.

Child Life In Vacation.

For many weeks school children
long for their annual summer holt
day. They dream of the days when
they shall once more wander free
from all restraints. Yet as matter
of fact, many of them spend their
time hanging around and asking
their mothers what they shall do
do next.
The lawless and irresponsible free
dom OF vacation is a detriment to
many children. They become petu-
liant if asked to give an hour a day
to little tasks for the family con-
venience. Yet they are all able to
take long jaunts and play necessarily
in the sun. Children that seem per-
fectly we'll and self controlled in the
regular discipline of school term,
often become irritable and nervous in
vacation, at a time when they are
supposed to be receiving benefit
from outdoor life and mental relax
alton.
1t is the opinion of educators and
social workers that the modern child
has too little to do. In modern town
life, there may be no task left for
them to perform. The custom of
regular work seems to have gone
out of fashion. One child frets if re-
quired to NOW the lawn or sweep
the walks while the other children
are roaming the streets.
A High School principal was
speaking the other day of the bad
effects of the loafing habit on the
older children. He left it so keenly
that he got the boys of his school to
agree to pay fine of five cents each
time they were seen loafing around
street corners by teacher. The
assessment was paid to the athletic
of the school, so all felt
good natured about it. 1t practically
cured the street loafing by the boys
Of that school.
The trouble with the idea was
that it applied only on Saturdays and
after school during term time. Dur
ing summer vacation, teachers scat
tered and the young folks could hang
around the streets to- their hearts
content But parents may well con-
slider the suggestion as a vacation
policy. A little regular work for
school pupils during vacation will
,ften save the younger children from
getting over tired at strenuous
plays, and will help prepare the
older ones for more serious respon-
;ibilities later on.

SIMPLICITY IN NEWS CLOTHES
TO BE STYLE.

The days of the male "clothing
slackers" are numbered, according
to Charles F. Wetzel, president of
the National Association of Mer-
chant Taliors of America, who has
sent out an appeal to the tailors of
the country to eliminate all unnec
essary embellishments on mems
clothing. The appeal followed a visit
by Mr.. Wetzel to the Commercial
Economy Board of the Council of Ma
tional Defense at Washington.
"The day for nifty styles has
passed." said Mr.. Wetzel, land it
behooves every man in this country
who wishes to help the Government
in conservation measures, and at
the same time to be we'll dressed, to
see to it that only garments made
along lines of the utmost simplicity
are worn. The keynote for all ap-
parel is simplicity, and it is just this
that the Washington officials are ad-
vocating."
Among the Examinations from mems
clothing recommended are: Belts
on coats, cuffs on sleeves, patch
pockets on sack coats, overcoats and
vests; pocket flaps, double-breaste6
sack coats and vests; tunnel loops on
trousers peg top trousers.

MAN
EXPECTS TO GO
BACK TO WORK
Thanks Tanlac Rheumatism Treat
nlcnt For Benefits It
Brought Him.

Theodore Jackson, 1908 Hamilton
avenue, Louisville, KY, suffered from
muscular rheumatism for more than
year and was in bed for four weeks,
but since taking one package of Tan
lac Rheumatism Treatment, he is up
and around and expects to go back
to work again soon.
THE way I've improved while TAX
ing this one package of Tanlac Rheu-
matism Treatment is remarkable and
/ believe that one more package will
rid me completely and permanently
of my rheumatism" said Mr.. Jack
son.
"AIl the folks in my neighbor-
hood know how bad my rheumatism
has been. I've had it for more than
a year and was down in bed for four
weeks. This Tanlac rheumatism
Treatment has helped me wonder
fully.
my aunt, Mrs. r. George, 1929
West Chestnut street, Louisville, is
taking Tanlac Rheumatism Treat
ment, too, and it is proving just as
remarkably beneficial in her case.
81 will be glad to tell anybody
about Tanlac Rheumatism Treat
ment"

THE NECESSITY OF HATRED.

The critic who says Americans, if
taught to hate the Germans, would
become what they are, offers a
| blanket insult to his countrymen
Neither hate nor miracle could
effect such change. An apple may
become absolutely rotten; but a rot
ten apple is not limburger by a
thousand miles,.
The Germans have acted in such a
manner as to deserve the everlaSt-
ing hatred of every one who is fit
to call himself man. Let them be
hated of every one who 1T fit to call
himself a man. Let them be hated,
not for to-day and tomorrow, but for
all time Germans style themselves
super-men, but euphemism leaves
the polecat what he is and ever will
be-a living link.
To teach hate of everything Ger
man is not only your privilege, it is
your duty. In this country we build
sewers for such things as German
"kultur." Anything that savors even
remotely, of turn the other cheek"
business during this war or after
ward, is as out of place as :'Rock of
Ages" sung at a mass meeting in
hell.
When this war shall have been
fought to a finish, and that finish
complete victory for the Allies
whether it takes one year or twenty
there will be some, of course, who
will purr, Come back into the fold,
Fritzie!" Yes; but it ought to be the
fold of boa constructor that would
press the bullying. lying, thieving,
raping German into the shapeless
pulp he is trying to make of all who
prefer altar of roses to the reeking
stencil of pan-Germanism.
This is no time for bullet and a
prayer. Give us an undying hatred
backed by two bullets and a manly
man.

GOVERNMENT WANTS PHOTOS
AND DRAWINGS.

The Government wishes to secure
for immediate use for intelligence
purposes, photographs, drawings and
descriptions, half-tone productions
and postals of bridges, buildings,
towns and localities now occupied
by the German forces in France, Bel
GUM and in Luxembourg. and like
wise in that portion of Germany ly-
ing west of a line running north and
south through Hamburg. This ma
terial is to be used for military pur-
poses.
Before Germany began this war
she had drawings of eyGry part of the
world. Foundations. for her guns
were already laid in Belgium. She
did this by means of buying tracts
of land on which it was purported
that factories would be erected, but
these were used for the foundations
for guns for the storming of the cit
les of Belgium. The rest of the world,
rocked in the cradle of - pacifism,
never dreamed that every inch of
territory was being marked off by
Germany for conquest. Therefore,
no attempt was made to keep the
Germans from getting all the draw
.ings and photographs they wanted
The other nations Of the world in the
meantime never thought about get
ting information of a like nature
about Germany.
. The Allies, do not want to drop
bombs on cities Of Germany which
are not defended or have no garrison
or munition factories. It is not their
desire to murder innocent women
and children as the Germans are now
doing by their long-range guns in
Paris. What the Allies want is in
telligence of bridges, forts, depots
and the like which aid Germans in
carrying on the war.

then they have been accustomed.
We believe that the vast majority of
automobile owners have some idea as

encroach the public, but there are a
few who seem to think that the town
sits UP and takes pride in them and
the amount of noise they can make,
the extent to which they can go in
