The greatest baseball player of tn..
universe has a new prefix to his
name. And 1t is of his own se,ec-
ton. No baseball scribe handed him
the new moniker. Cobb selected this
name from among more than 200
and It wasn't any hit or miss choice
either Furtherore. he didn't elect
to be called Diamond Tyrus wholly
because Of his affection for the great
sport played on the diamond That
was only part of his reason.
His new title comes from what ia
to be his post-baseball avocation. He
is now a full fledged automobile tire
distributor. He is distributor for
Diamond tires in northern Georgia.
Reports from Augusta, Headquarters
for Ty's company, say that he has
entered the tire business with the
same dash and enthusiasm he dis
plays in circling the bases or swat
ting the ball.
Diamond Tyrus is in the tire .anne
TO stay longer than the long term Of
years he has cavorted on the base
ball field. He foresaw that only sup
er human energy could see him thru
indefinitely as Americas premier
diamond star. And Cobb had ons
since decided that he wousdn't re-
main in the game as an ordinary
player. He began to lay plans for q
business future.
II am arranging to transfer IN,
active interests from the baseball
diamond to the Diamond" is the way
~ himself puts it. When he drops
his mighty bat to grasp the reins
OF his tire selling organization, Cobb
will have his new venture well I'M
der way. His recently closed con-
tract with the rubber company called
for a large initial order and even
now Georgians ar riding on tires
sold them by their "favorite son. 4"
During his career as a big Lacquer
Cobb has earned the most enviable
record of any American athlets, no
matter what sport. Year after year
he has led both major leagues in
either batting or base running or
both. For nearly score of years
Ty has been nearer the 400 mark

REGARDING TELEPHONES

My dear Editor:
We are informed that the wires of
The Mt Vernon Telephone Co. in GER
tain sections have been cut, Let us
say that we .deplOre such work and
advise that patrons who have ordered
their phones out refrain from acts of
vandalism or the destruction of tele
phone property.
1t may seem to some that the COM
pany Is very deliberate in removing
phones ordered out We take them
at their statement that they have
some job on their hands. However,
its efficiency, whereby they go out
five or ten miles, remove one or two
phones Off a line and leave several
more which have been ordered out.
They have reason.
Our advice is, "Be patient and
stand pat"
II the company does not remove
your phone in a reasonable time use
your best judgment for its disposi-
ton. Some are setting them out.
We are reliably informed that an
outside company has offered to fur
nish service at $12 per year provided
1900 subscribers are pledged. Stand
pat" and you will not be long with
out a telephone. Stop, look, listen;
Cooperation" is the word. Moral
Does your neighbor cooperate? Have
you asked your dealer whether he has
ordered his phone out?

MOTHER LOVE

A recent news item tells of moth
er who, for II years, tried to get her
son pardoned from the penitentary,
where he was serving life term for
murder, and Of her final success. The
papers are full of tributes to the
wonderful mother love- behind her
untiring efforts.
Mother love is queer thing. One
cannot but feel that had the mother
love been wise as well as persistent,
the boy would not have committed
the mArder in the first place. What
ever the provoeation and reasons for
mercy, the fact is that murder is a
rather serious business. The man who
performs it very seldom does so out
of clear sky-a previously unsullied
life. There Is almost always a his
tory of lack of self-control behind the
final deed.
Is it real mother love--or Is 1t
weak-mnded indulgence-which let's
boy grow up without self-control?
There was the notorious instance
few years ago OF husbands killing
. of man who was said TO have dis
hOnored his wife before their mar
riage. His mothers efforts to have
him escape the penalty OF the law
were also untiring Nothing that mon.
ey or perseverance, could do was left
undone. Many people who had no
sympathy for the vulgar mess in
which the principals found them
selves were frankly sympathetic with
this mother. Yet was she not, her
self. largely cause of the whole sit
uation. The man seems to have been
vulgar degenerate, made so largely
by the Indulgence of his youth.
Fortunately, most mothers are not.
and do not need TO be, SO cOnspicu.
ously glowing" after their children
have committed crimes. They do not
follow indulgence with Indulgence,
and give as the last expression OF
their love merely the elimination of
n life of trying to shield their chill
dren from facing facts bravely.
II Is well that most mothers have
the mother wit and mother wisdom
to know that a spank In time saves
nine, and the boy who Is taught to
control his tiny tantrums for the fam
lily goodwill will later control his big
emotions for society's good.

COST OF LIVING SURPRISES

Practical benefits might result from
n careful study of costof-living fg.
ures recently given ont by the depart
ment OF labor. There are many odd
and many instructive facts observable
in them or deducible from them.
Why should living expenses have
gone up less in the east, as a whole,
than in the middle west? II Is usual

prices, and the great, productive mid
die west that has the lowest.
Why, too, should there be such n
difference between prices In Detroit

operation that can be done with

at the same time, by enabling one

Before the senate has finished with investi-
eating the navy along comes Senator Lenroot
Indignantly demanding that somebody be pun
ished for sending soldiers into battle without
sufficient training. Undoubtedly that was done
to some extent in the late war. as it has been
done in all wars not fought wholly by pro-
fessional soldiers Congress can investigate
till dooms day without discovering any way to
avoid errors in judgment, injustice to :ndivid-
uals and seemingly inexcusable waste in con-
nection with war. On the whole the general
impression is that the army and the havy-
yes and the executive department of the gov
eminent, too-al proved about as competent
to perform their several duties as congress was

1.-THE DAILY SHORT STORY

Very well" quietly agreed Mary.
They walked slowly, and almost
silently. Tor John seemed preoccu-
pied, and Mary was trying to
smother spark of resentment that
burned in her heart.
Suddenly 5oia stopped before a
large gray stone house, set in spa
cious lawns and surrounded by an
iron fence.
There's house good enough for
anyone" he said, soberly, but it
would take years to get money
enough for a house like that" and
he sighed. do you like it, Nary?-
he asked anxiously.
Il think it is handsome" said
Mary, admiringly 1T must be
wonderful to live in a house like
that"
She looked up at John, eager to
please him, and bring back the
contented smile to his eyes. In
stead of smiling in return, he star
ed at her gloomily and said: Il
knew you would like it, and it is
just the kind Of a house you ought
, TO have"
Surprised at the detection of his
tone. Mary looked at him Earnest
| ly and noted the troubled eyes and
worried lines on his forehead. A
sudden thought came to her, and
she quickly reviewed their walks
and talks Of the last few weeks
since spring had come. and Their
nodded triumphantly to herself q,
her discovery. She turned again tl
look at the house, and a bit of ex-
element shook in her voice as she
said thoughtfully:
"Yes, it is splendid, but wha'
would a little thing like me be do.
ing in big mansion like that
Sure, I'd be lost in it. and it's not
my idea Of q home. I'd rather have
. little gray cottage at the edge Of
the woods than this pile Of pros
perity on Rich Mans avenue" and
She laughed gaily.
John shook his head doubtfully
