ICES that any kind Of ball is a specula-
tion, but a base on balls is an invest
ment.
The one thing the batter knows about
a spitbal1 is that it never comes when
he thinks 1t does.
1t is good thing to wait the pitcher
out, but 1t is even better to hit the
ball.
A pitcher in hole is like live mine
liable to go up any moment.
To prevent being called out on strikes
the bat must occasionally be moved
from the shoulder.
Base ball has come back with a bang.
Whether we can ascribe this to the un-
usual interest in athletics aroused by
the Army's adoption Of our national
games, to be used in training our SOL
dierS and sailors, or whether 1t is the
natural reaction from the rigors of war
to the natural. healthy play of peace.

Everything points toward tre-
mendous foot ball eason. Foot ball in
itself was most popular in both branches
of Army service, and was invaluable
in that 1t taught the men a certain dis
regard for themselves and also drove
home the lesson of coordinate thinking

Senator Lodge called attention re-

they had then a system of profit-shar-
ing. He thought that in profit sharing
we might have a beneficent solution of
the labor problems which confront US
today, but he admitted that he would
like to know how the system worked
in Babylon. for it might throw some
light on what to cherish and what to
avoid.
It is doubtful, comments the Bache
Review, whether the system in Baby
lon, IL it were a success, was conduct
ed on the principle of dividing profits,
as such, with all classes of workers.
1t appears that some of the expert
ments recently tried in this country,
are demonstrating that the system gen.
orally applied is a failure. The WHY'S
Overland company adopted it the first
of this year, and few weeks ago pro-
ceeded to divide up $4,000 among
the workers. Two days later one OF
the most bitter strikes was inaugu-
rated, and was over only after it had
cost the laborers anu the company
thousands of lost dollars.
Intelligent employers are making up
their minds to different method OF
awarding labor. They find it neces-
sary, it seems, to divide employees into
two classes-the brains department
and the muscle department. The first
consists of those in charge of men and
operators, and profit sharing with
these stimulates to greater application
faithfulness. and efficiency. But the
muscle department must be reward
ed by liberal bonuses for extra pro-
duction; that is, The workers are paid
good wages for a days work with
average production and are offered
! considerable further sums whenever
and in proportion as, the production
of the whole factory is increased be-
yond the normal output.
AS this additional compensation i:
paid, not to individuals, but to the
workers as a whole, and then divided
up, it places upon their leaders. it il

WILLIAM OSWALD'S DISCOVERY
When William Oswald Effingham was born
his parents said
There never was child before with such
noble head.
With pardonable modssty they raved about
his worth
And called their precious little tot the
cutest babe on earth.
As William Oswald older grew his folks
more proudly rayed,
Before his face they praised to all the way
that he behaved.
They told the clever things he did, repeated
all he said
Until at last they had completely turned
the youngsters head
Because he heard his parents brag about
him day and night,
He got TO thinking that he was the bright
est of the bright.
He didn't seem to notice when they gave
him his degree
That ninety other fellows shared his bril-
liant company.
At last into the world he went in search of
gold and fame,
And was shocked to find that noone seemed
to recognize his claim:
1t troubled him and grieved him and 1t left
him much depressed,
To discover no one thought him any better
that the rest
Now he knows that there are others that
can do what he can do;
That some know everything he knows,
with something added too.
And he tells his foolish parents when they
boast of him at night.
That the world is full of people who are
marvelously bright

For June 20 is a Quarterly Review
The Oldest Quest.
Sailing the Red Sea, as am while

tains of the Sinai Peninsula at my
left hand, il is congenial to pass IN
review the recent Sunday School
Lessons. All of them represent mans
quest after God, and Gods downreach
to man. They stand for the spiritual
dimension of the human soul. Tney
are as up-to-date as the latest agon-
lied prayer of a young man seeking
peace, and older than the journey
Of Abra ham down into this Egypt. AT
the moment, I am in the region
Whither troubled souls-Moses. Elijah,
nossibly Paul, and countless anchor
ites-have resorted to get away from
the world and close to the Eternal.
Back of all our days upheavals
and unrest and turbulence, back OF
the frantic search for new social and
political programs, lies the paslc
human quest for the peace of God.
We want a condition that is deeper
than can be touched by better wages,
better housing, better education ana
better political privileges. Our de-
sires are many; our neeos are ohe-a

after the one God. In the hearts o.

God and to do his will. Their yea
