Chicago. Aug. l5.-Ne1t time YOU
step up to the bat for your home
team and find three men on and just
a good wallop needed to sew up
the works" just convince your sub
conscious self that you will make
a home run and you will do it
That's the way Babe Ruth has run
his string up to forty-two. accord
ing to DR.. Orlando E. Miller, noted
psychologist.
Babe Ruth's success as A
knocker Of home runs" DR.. Miller
declared before a class in psychoI-
ogy, lis not a question Of athletic
skill, but of confidence. When he
goes into a game he does so under
the conviction that he will knock
a home run. There is nothing else
for his subconscious mind to do
then but connect the bat with the
ball. Anybody can do anything
that he is absolutely sure he can
do. Doubt is the one cause of fail

!. TO VIRGINIANS
Dreadnaughts Slaughter
Losing Pitchers to
Win, l5-o.

Before a wild crowd of rooters
the Dreadnaughts of Alexandria met
and conquered the Knickerbockers,
yesterday, in Georgetown, by a Is
to-s score. The game assumed the
proportions of a heavy artillery
practice for the Alexandrians, as
they were in the battle to win. Ev-
erything that came over the plate
they socked good and hard. Degnan.
playing third base for the Dread
naughts, scintillated, both at the
bat and in the field. Out of six
trips to the platter he drove out
four hits, one a triple with three
men on the sacks, and another a
circuit clout that chased two run
Iers over to count.
Rally in Eighth.
In the eighth inning, with one
man out and runners on first and
secon1. Wise, of the Knicks, at
tempted a bunt. Umpire Hughes
called the ball fair as Whag, the
Dreadnaught catcher, grabbed il and
threw to Deguan for a force out at
his station. The third bsseman, not
knowing whether the ball was fair
CT not, and seeing that Wise had
not run TO first, ran over to first
base and touched the bag for an
unassisted double play. Then all
Alexandra went crazy
Singleton, who started for the
winners, looked good for the first
four rounds and then began to
weaken in the boiling sun. He gave
way to Cornell, a newcomer to this
section of the country. The new
hurler seemed to be a little off his
bearings at first. but steadied to-
ward the end and finished the game
in fine style.

London. Aug. 1.-THE British
Olympic Council has served notice
that this will be the last Olympics
in which Great Britain will par
ticipste unless indifferent public
opinion here undergoes a complete
reversal.
This bombshell was exploded by
Sir Theodore Cook, editor of Field"
and a colleague of Lord Desbor-
ough for thirty years on the British
council.
The movement has become. in its
latest phase, entirely alien to Eng
lish thought and character" said
Sir Theodore. Before any result
Of the present games is known.
before the name of the country
holding the next games is published
we should openly inform the Inter
national Olympic Council that the
United Kingdom will not be com
peting in 1924 or any subsequent
occasion in the official Olympic
cycle. while the present state of
British opinion continues.
However right. however ideal a
movement may be. 1t is futile 10
force it upon a nation not wanting
il.
The world, and especially the
Olympian councillors at Antwerp
desire to know our determination.
1t is a farewell to the movement
as now conducted by the interna
tional committee"
Sir Theodore declared that all
Olympic trophies presented by Eng
land would remain for competition
in the games forever as a memorial
of the British Council to the com
radeship which our foreign friends
in every country so generously and
Hospitality gave us
The decision of the British coun-
ell was reached following the fail
ure Of the campaign. headed by the
king to raise funds to adequately
maintain the British competitors in

THURSDAY. APRIL %. 1920.

The Times has received within the
last week a number of messages in
dorsing its opposition to the nomination
of Mr.. Palmer for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency-which
disproves in a measure the statement
sometimes made that the people of
this section are not interested in the
pre-convention discussion Of the avail
able men for the party nomination.
No one fears that an unworthy man
will be named at San Francisco, but
there is the possibility that mistake
will be made in the selection of the
candidate. The Times hopes that Mr..
Palmer will not be the nominee be-
cause his utterances do not Indicate
that he either understands or is in
sympathy with the peculiar conditions
confronting the South and for the fur
ther reason that it would be poor
politics to choose him as the party
leader. Mr.. Palmer's home is in
Pennsylvania. It is almost as in
evitable as judgment day that he could
not carry Pennsylvania into the Demo-
cratic column. In the past it has been
considered good politics in the national
Democratic convention to choose the
candidate from doubtful State with
the hope of the candidate being able
to swing his home State from the op-
position. If this consideration has not
lost its force, Mr.. Parker is eliminated
from the list of available candidates.
When the Democratic convention meets
in San Francisco the delegates ought
to make up their mind that wisdom and
common sense must guide their de-
alterations if irreparable mistakes are
to be avoided.

Milk Essential for Children.

There is no problem before the
American public of such great i'm
portance as the one of properly feed
ing and nourishing its people, says Miss
Juanita Nicely, county home demon
stration agent for York county. We
do not stop to realize that there are
6, ,000, 900 children, or one out of every
four, in the United States suffering
from under nourishment and that
S5. 600 Of them die every year from no
other cause than poor or deficient food.
1t is not so much case of poverty as
case of ignorance. The food now
given these 5000, 900 suffering children
costs even more than proper food
would cost.
Milk Is the natural food for the
young, since it contains everything
necessary for growth. It has great
advantages over many Of the foods
which are commonly used. Since 1t
needs no preparation, the cost of fuel
and labor is saved. There is practically
no loss in milk. To the housewife of
today this Is important when we con-
slider the percentage of waste in the
preparation of fruits, vegetables and
meats for the table. A large per-
centage of waste always means in
creased cost. The following table
shows the relative value of milk COM
pared with several foods used ordi-
narily In the diet. One quart of milk
is equal in fuel value for the days
work or play to any one of the follow
ing animal foods: three-fourths pound
lean beef, eight eggs, three pounds
fresh Goldfish, two pounds chicken,
four-fifths pound pork loin, three-fifths
pound ham, three pints oysters.
Milk is the cheapest. the best, and
the only perfect food that we have.
1t contains all the essential elements
for normal human growth and de-
velopment. Give your children milk,
quart day If possible, pint without
fail. Plenty Of milk for big and little
will give US the chance for health we
ought to have. <"It is the sacred right
of your children to be as healthy as
knowledge can make them"

A Washington dispatch bears the in
formation that Congress committee
is to begin at once a probe into the
print paper shortage and that '.pub-
fishers of leading papers will be invited
to appear before the inves tigating COM
mittee." Why only publishers of
leading papers" to the exclusion of
publishers of country papers? If the
Congress committee wishes to learn of
the hardshids that a considerable part
OF the press of the country is suffering
in consequence of the serious shortage
of print paper it will not go to the big
dailies to get at the facts, because
most of them are practicing extrava-
gance in the use of print paper that
is inexcusable and they can scarcely be
expected to testify against themselves.
But the big dailies are not the only
sinners. The paper mills appear 70
have limited the output of print paper
to create the opportunity to profiteer
Off the press, largely the country press.
The big dailies and many other dailies
that assume the extravaganza of 'big
dailies" have made contrscts to run
for months for their paper supply and
are not feeling the effect Of the greed
of the paper mills. We expect to see
the Congress investigation result In q
fiasco. just as practically all other in
vestigations of the Republican Con-
gress have in recent months. Twelve
to fifteen cents per pound, against the
pre-war price of two cents per pound,
il the amount the cut-throat paper
mills, aided intellectually and en-
Enthusiastically by most paper jobbers,
is exacting of the country press.

Gals for More Wages.

Washington, April 25.-Timothy
Shea, vice president Of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen, warned the
Railroad LaAor board yesterday of the
danger u aeasying wage increases to
the 2,o000oe railroad workers. Mr.. Shea
presented tse demands of the firemen
and hostiers Tor basic living wage of
$3.50 per day, with difFerentials for re-
sponsibiiity, ssSill experience and the in
crease IN the cost of living since the de.
mands wefe first presented last June.
Mr.. Shea told the board that the les
son to be leskaed from the steel, coal
and railroad strikes was that 'men will
not work when they cannot live decent
iy on the wages they are paid Ex-
perts, he said, estimated living wage
ut $2.25o annually. Mr.. Shea said that

In a statement issued Sunday night
by the National Woman's party from
headquarters in Washington the claim
is set up that tin North Carolina
Legislature at its session in July is
certain to ratify the suffrage amend
ment. We do not object to the claim,
nor are we especially concerned over
whether the Old North State ratifies
the amendment or not; but why was il
necessary to send out the statement on
the Sabbath? Politics ought to be ad-
journed on the Lords day and we see
no reason why this cocksure claim
could not have been held until Monday.
