Bills in Legislation
I'VE have a bill for Zoning law
for second class cities which has
been introduced by the Pittsburgh
representative of the Pennsylvania
Housing, and Town Flaming Asso-
citation. This bill will give authority
to district cities and regulate dwell
ings. Cities Of the first class now have
this provision. 'Philadelphia's has
been in active operation and their
/, report is now nearly ready. Much
interest and attention viii be focus-
, sed on their findings and regulations
covering height. volume and area.
/ The second bill is on homestead
cimmission. The purpose of this
commission will be TO study ana
gather data for the purpose of pre-
pairing a report to help to decide
whether or not a cityeshould provide
means to build small houses with
sufficient land on which to raise veg
etables. The great affect of the home
gardens on he'conservation oflfood
while fighting the Hun has shown
clearly the advantage of a self-sup-
porting home"
"The third ,bill.,,s continued Mr..
Farguhar, 'issmoSt important and
will prevent the duplication of pres
ent slum areas in future years as the
development of the city has caused
in the past. Provisions of the bill
covers cities, boroughs and first class
townships onl& Requiring minimum

vacy and safety from fire. As. to the
effect this will have on existing build

Miss Emanuel Was Star
Against Central High Five

Owing to Steelton ex-High team
cancelling at the eleventh hour, the
Beckley school management secured
Central High varsity five to take
their place. In one of the fastest
games played in the city Beckley
took the Central High girls into
camp
The rivalry was Keen on both
sides and many fouls were called
on the Beckley girls, but this did
not stop the husky Beekley team
from bringing home the bacon. AT
first, Central thought they had a
practice game. but they only scored
one goal from the field while Beck
ley's scored eight field goals. Miss
Emanuel scored for Beckley; Miss
Watts scored for Central. Lineup:

DEAR FOLKS:

7 AM going to write sew
= eral letters to you-in
which I will tell you some
things that I know you are
interested in.
You and I agree, I am sure,
that life is very much easier
for It's if we can keep happy.
We all surely understand
that our greatest happiness
comes when we allow Our
hearts to lead us-when we
do as much for others, if not
more, than we do for our
selves.
we all know, III our nome
life, for instance, that hap
piness flies out of the win
dow if all the members o1
the family are not harmoni-
ouS.
We all know that quarrels
chickering's, or misunder.
standings in our family OF
social circles do not get us
anywhere, so far as the JOY
of living is concerned.
On the other hand, life is
very rosy indeed if we are
thoughtful and kind to one
another in the family circle
and if we are considerate ot
the feelings of all other;
with whom we come in per,
sonal contact.
I have always believed thai
our business life should b.
as happy as our home ane
social life.
I have never been able te
understand why so many o:
us change our natures wher
we go to our offices OF
stores or shops.
Why should we keep out O.
our daily toll those elements
that give us so much pleas
ure away from our work
All MY life | have believed
that every man and woman
engaged with us in making
Our b u S i n e S S successful
should be treated by us with
as much courtesy and kind
ness as we show to mem
bers of our household anC
to Our intimate friends.
Why not?
1t is far easier to mix a 10
Iof heart in our business an'
to get good results than i
is to be cold, calculating AM
mercenary-to grind tn
hearts out of our associat
workers and make them hu
man machines instead Q

that the Ruler of the Uni
verse intended themsto bt
The most of you, to whor

others-but if we are fortu
nate enough to work for

that would TN
fold to you and to fne the
human side of their busi-
ness.
They have told me very.
often that you would not be
interested in the personal
side of their business; and
1 have always answered
them that you would, be-
cause you are very hupan
and are very keen about
knowing whether the work
ers of the world are getting
as much out of life as they
should-and that you would
be won to the support and
glori6cation of the business
that had the heart and I'm
pulse to make it's workers
happy. 81,
I knew that some day some
where j would meet a BIG
MAN who conducts his
business on the heart plan,
whose associate workers
and himself get out of life
a full measure of happiness,
and a man who would be
willing to let me tell you all
about it. I'LL
At last 1 have found THE
MAN and THE BUSI-
NESS that I'm going to tell
you about in this series of
letters. He directs a very
big business whose receipts
average daily more than one
and a quarter million dol
lars.
What a great thing it is for
us to hold fast to our faith
believing that some day
we will meet our IDEAL!
This man and I met in a
peculiar way. We had
never known each other
personally, but we had
before known of one an
others work.
He read one of my TALKS
which I write daily for the
New York Evening Mail
and he liked the HEART
in it. While he was in New
York one day several weeks
ago, I was introduced to
him and he questioned me
a great deal about my views.
as to the human side OF
business.
He did not laugh at me as
Others have done in days
gone by.
HE listened very attentively
and sympathetically. 44.
HE told me that I was right
in my beliefs. se
HE told me that he also be-
llieved, as sincerely as | do,
that life is worth while only
lif one can so live It as to
give the greatest service to
IT. -a,+eet number. e.-.
The upshot of our meeting
was that [ was invited to go
through his plant in Chi
cago-to mingle with hss
workers-and to find out
for m y S elf whether the
ideals that I have been writ
ing and talking about for
so many years existed
there; and if I did find that
they existed, then he would
give me free rein to write
what 1 pleased and to print
lwhat l wrote in the daily
newspapers of the country.

 Whereas, God, in infinite wisdom hath removed by death. from earth to heaven. the soul of Rev. John L. Ferguson;
 Resolved, first, that we, as members of the Birmingham and Bessemer Methodist preachers meeting, bow In humble submisslon to the providence of Him who knoweth best and doeth all things well.

How will you have them? Flashed brown or French fried? And at that this is perhaps the most peculiar po- tato story I have ever written.
 And it is not a press agent story at that, because, while it deals with we'll known star, it is not connected with any one picture of his screen ca reer.
 To cut it short, Charles Ray has .a pet superstition that a potato-just q common Irish gruber-must appear in every set of any story which is being filmed by him.
 J. Stewart Woodhouse discovered a play in which Ray was working at the 1nce studio.
 The famous actor came in to take his place before the camera, and after a casual glance around inquired;
 Where's Murphy?"
 When Murphy was brought in it was found that he" was a huge Irish po- tato and that in this particular scene the potato served as d penholder in the country hotel.
 Now that the secret is out, look for the potato in the next Ray picture you see. You'll find it all right, and as to whether it is a pet superstition on the part Of MT. Ray or whether he be- lieves in his queer luck piece just be- cause he believes in it is not known. but all the same it is there.

City League Moguls

Sep- tember Il, between Westfield and the B. R., L. & P. Go. One game will be played Thursday, one Friday and a double header Saturday, and in case they should split the four games a fifth game will be played Monday
 This has been the most successful season of amateur baseball in it's en- tire history The officials of the com mission should be complimented on the way in which they handled the finan- cial part of the commission. At the end of the season they had nice sized bank roll. This is something that has not happened in the, past. From all stanGpoints this was very successful year for amateur baseball.

SEM[PRO TEAMS ID 7.
 PLAY GREAT GAMES
Paper Comparisons Show the Equality of the
 Two Teams

The Westfield pitching staff is suppos- ed to be one of the best semi-pro hurling corps ever gotten together and the boys pitching under the Shipbuilders' colorS this season, have really made name for themselves. Just what they can do when a certain wrecking crew gets hold Of their offerings however, is something else again.
 Mcdowell asserts that his fingers will handle the situation in jam-up fashion when they go against the Trolley Dodg- CTS starting the five-game series for the city championship Thursday afternoon at Redwood Field. Fans who have fol lowed the work of Holt, Norton, Lassi- ter and Hankens this season have dub- bed them as a wrecking crew however, and the most ardent Trolley Dodger back CTS assert that something is bound to drop when this quartet of huskies face the ball-givers.
 McDowell, however, who pilots the Shipbuilders, says that if ever should the aforementioned quartet pound with unusual ferocity, that he has four of kind in Sewell, Stephenson, Cochran and Satmyer, who will equal anything in the hitting line the Trolleyites care to send to the platter.
 And, so the merry argument goes on with the discussion as to which team IS
  sport circles Gossip will give way to action Thursday afternoon, however, and then the fans will see what they shall see
 When the fireworks start Thursday att ernoon, boasts will no longer be in or der and the fans will judge the merits or the two squads by the way they stack up against each other.
 The battles promise to be reeking with hecticity, and it may be that a fifth game will be necessary to decide the cham pionship of the Birmingham district, so evenly do the teams appear to be match ed from a paper standpoint
 The line-ups to be used by the snip builders and Trolley Dodgers in Thurs day afternoons battle, when the series gets going. is given as follows:
