Comiskey has other slabbers on his

Leibold, Strunk and Murphy the club

left-handers, by the way-and the first
two named are good felders. Murphy

Unless the Sox can gather in at
least one high-class right-handed swat
ter, they may switch John Collins, who

Falk is both a pitcher and a first
sacker, much as Sisler was when the
latter was collegian. Falk can also
play the outfield. However, In case
the Sox don't pick up a southpaw to
aid Kerr, it is possible that Falk
might develop into his mate, and Jour-

Saving for Homes.

1t is CHEEKY and inspiring to read
that many hundreds of small deposit
tors are starting savings accounts with
the banks in the city, their purpose
being to accumulate funds with which
to purchase or construct homes. Their
action is a substantial contribution to
the solution of the housing problem in
the city. They are beginning at the
foundation, a very solid foundation.
Their plan will aid the city and they
will have a vast benefit personally
from systematic savings. They will
have a new purpose in life, plan to
be completed, a task to be done. The
man who nurses his ambition to live
under his own roof has made himself
better citizen by developing that am
bition. He will be a better citizen
or the community, because he will
nave deep interest in the right de-
velopment of the city.-Ohio State

BRITISH AUTHORITY
ON SWIMMING TALKS
SAYS Americans. Are Far Ahead
of All Other Nations.
Our style Of Crawl Differs In Many
Features From Britlsh-Posltlon
Of Body Is Higher, Affecting
Action of Legs.

One of Great Britain's leading
aquatic authorities, w. ]. Howcroft OF
Garston, secretary Of A. S. A. and
amateur coach to the recent Olympic
water carnival, analyses the methods
which succeeded at the international
rect In a manner which may prove
very valuable. He says:
81 gladly comply with your request
for my views concerning the swim
ming competition at Antwerp, though
there Is so much to tell that l must
necessarily conf1ne myself to the sail
ent points. And will start by saying
without reservation that at crawl and
back crawl swimming you are far, far
In advance of Great Britain and other
nations.
'In many features your style OF
crawl differs from ours. The position
of the body is higher in your stroke,
and this naturally affects the leg ac-
ton. In your style the feet and lower
legs do not come out of water; in ours
they do. We favor what you call
six beat thrash of even scope while
your contestants usually introduce one
or two wider kicks per cycle of move
ments. Your arms recovery is slower
than ours, easier and much nearer the
surface. Also you bend the arms at
the start Of the recovery and we swing
them around in half circle. You
straighten out the arms for the entry
and we bend them at the catch to en-
ter directly over the center line of
progression. These, 1 think. are the
noticeable differences.
'In our respective back crawls there
is only slight difference. All your
devotees keep the head rather high,
claiming 1t allows them to plane, but
we believe this position causes the
legs to sink and drag. We teach
head back poise, level with the surf
ace. so that the feet are high and come
out of the water in threshing. This
may lose some leverage, but it mimi
mics water resistance and there is
forward impetus from the downward
impact of calves. AS our best expo
nents are under seventeen we will have
to wait awhile before attempting to
draw conclusions regarding the rela-
tive value of these styles"

TREES TO ADoRN HIGHWAYS
Common Sense Plan That Has Been
Accepted With Enthusiasm by
Many States and Cities.

"When it comes to memorial to
the soldier-dcad, what on earth could
begin to equal fine parkway with its
array of trees of remembrance? asks
American Forestry (Washington). A
thing of beauty and a joy for many
generations, 1t will keep green the
memory of the heroes of the great con-
flict and be as well source of comfort
to the living, argues this magazine, and
adds eloquently:
"By all means let us have trees of
remembrance. Let us have them
abundantly and for every possible
memorial. They are the true monu-
ments, the living memorials God has
provided to hallow the hottest men,
cries of every person and of every
race"
Much is being done all through the
country to this good end. Chambers
of commerce and similar organizations
have been quick to see the value of
the idea. In many places fruit and
nut-bearing trees are being planted in
memorial highways. The state Of
Michigan, for example, will plant its
Victory highway from Port Huron to
Chicago with apple trees. One can
easily picture how such a highway
will look when those trees are in full
bloom. A cross of living trees along
roads county-iong and countrywide is
planned by Bibbs county. Ca. as her
memorial. Hamilton, Ohio, proposes
for her tribute beautiful boulevard
along a river, planted with trees;
Brooklyn, too, plans to honor his
toric road as memorial Boulevard

BEAUTlFY THE RURAL SCHOOL
With Careful Planning, the Cost oi
Making Building and Grounds
Attractive Is Negligible.

Did you ever see a rural school thai
had winding and attractive path that
led to its door? If you have it is well,
for it is rare, remarks Elizabeth L.
Cowan in the Indianapolis Star.
Usually there is no semblance Of
walk, but should there be one, it is the
stiff, straight, concrete one that is
suited to the artificiaIity of city life.
In connection with the campaign that
the state department of education
expects to put on for the Improvement
of rural schools, it might not be amiss
to focus some attention upon the ex-
terror of these schools as well as upon
their lengths of term and their cur
riculi Every teacher who is now
drawing salary in rural school has
unlimited opportunity to leave a me-
mortal to her name, In tangible form,
and at the same time to do great COM
munity service, by setting an example
for all householders in the district.
A new schoolhouse fairly shouts its
newness from the landscape, and for
some strange reason even the old ones
are ugly and unadapted to their sur
roundings even after years Of service.
1t Is possible to make the school
grounds the most attractive place III
the eighborhood-and all of this with
out money cost. To be sure 1t will re-
quire some planning and forethought
on the teachers part, perhaps even
little physical work, but the most OF
it will serve as a means of nature
study, agriculture and landscape gar
dening for the girls and boys. They
will be tremendously interested IN
making contributions of plants from
their own gardens and in doing the
actual work of planting and pruning.
