.THERE are seven wonders Of
the world and Pat Moran.
For Cincinnati consumption
this may be changed to read there
are Pat Moran and seven wonders
Of the world. Patrick is the man
ager of the Cincinnati baseball club,
which won a pennant some time be-
tween the neolithic and the hoop
skirt periods, but not since.
In 1915 Pat Moran blossomed out
as manager Of the Philadelphia Ma
tionals. Peerless Patrick ran
franchise. a small park and Grover
Cleveland Alexander, assisted by
Eppa Jeptha Rixey and Erskine
Mayer, into the first pennant ever
won by the National League wing of
somnambulists. Fans far and wide
and short and tall-wondered how
Pat Moran did it. he almost did it
again in 1916, losing to the Brook
Ign Nationals by the length Of an or
binary Roman nose.
In 1917 and 1918 Pat subsided,
or, rather, the Pills subsidized on him,
and his contract with that club was
terminated. He came to the Giants
as battery coach, but last spring
Garry Hermann asked Professor
McGraw if he might borrow Pat to
manage the Reds. Ordinarily tn.
would be fate fearful to contem
plate. Managers in Cincinnati wei,
treated as moving targets or glas'
balls in a shooting gallery. The eX
Cincinnati baseball managers living
in the United States-but not il
Cincinnati-wouldc apsize the Levi
athan. Out of every so many hun
dred persons killed in railway acct
dents in the United States it is est-
mated one is an ex-manager Of the
Cincinnati Reds.
Into this cemetery Of hopes walked
Peerless Pat, bat on his shoulder
and brogue on his tongue. In

at three months they breathed and

another went blind. The Reds were

purpose underlying our war taxa
ton; namely, to impose the greatest
burden upon those best able to
bear it. do not wish to dispute for
a moment that taxation must be laid
in accordance with the dictates of
social justice. To advocate a scheme
Of taxation which would spare
wealth would be both wrong and
fatuous. Yet | cannot escape the
conclusion that the very extreme of
the burden laid upon business and
income has partially defeated the
purpose which the trainers Of our
taxation legislation apparently had
in view, and at the same time has
given rise to certain unforeseen and
troublous developments-as invari-
ably happens in the case Of extreme
measures, especially where econom-
les are involved. Now that the emer-
gcncy of the war is over, | believe
the entire matter should be sub
jected to unprejudiced and COM
petent critical review.

work among retailer, wholesaler
and producer. This, he goes on TO
say, is as essential to the lowering
Of living costs as cooperation be-
tween employers and employees.
The high cost of living, the De
fence Council finds. is owing to the
deficient production Of the essen
tials Of life, and it was found that
this primarily was due TO the lack
Of focused information and to the
want Of adequate machinery or CO.
ordinating the forces of all the
groups engaged on what part soever
Of the productive and distributive
process.
Mr.. Clarkson is optimistic. a
little Of the old American pep and
teamwork will untangle the present
situation and ENSURE current pro-
duction adequate to meet require
ments.'
Teamwork ordinarily requires a
level head and an intelligence nee
ossary to assimilate the Signals
Given that, America can make a

section are very severe, and the
labors of the engineer and fireman

When General Per. hing arrived

NAL economic life
Mr.. Kahn, in a memorandum pre-
pared for a public official at Wash
ington, does not deal with the gen.
eral subject Of high prices as much
as with some of the less patent and
direct contributory factors.
~ suggest" writes Mr. Kahn,
the appointment by the government
Of a non-political body of experts
to study the effects of the vari-
Gus kinds Of taxation which have
been in force during and since the
termination of the war, and to
make recommendation to Congress
based upon such study.
1T is remarkable circumstance
that in the public discussion of the
factors which are responsible for the
prevalence of excessively high prices
the subject of taxation has hardly
been mentioned. Yet it is, believe,
demonstrable fact that the un-
scientific system of taxation adopted
in this country since 1917 has played
considerable part in boosting
prices.
Nothing is further from my
thought than to object to the obvious

Then he became test pilot at the

Maynard broke at least two
records there. One morning he
tried out twenty-five planes, a
greater number than any test pilot
had previously flown in so short a
time. Another fine day he looped
the loop 3lS times in sixty-seven
minutes at an altitude of 1000 feet
without coming down foot.
In the aerial derby Maynard flew
at an average speed of little more

The situation when Mr.. Kennedy
