UNCOMMON SENSE
By John Blak,

WIN IF YOU CAN, BUT ENJOY THE GAME.
Gentlemen who play golf will tell you the man who
tries toe hard never does very well at it,
Incidentally, he gets any fun of the game.
There many parallels between golf and life, which
doubtless the that people devoted it,
Golf, of course, game, and only game. Yet there
many of its followers who only the advantage
winning and who in and ill tempered they lose
Others, while they try win get just much fun
throw them away swear at the caddes.
1t very important to win in anything But it is
important get your allowance of fun of you go
along.
Sitting wheezy in any rich mans club you will find
old gentlemen who wanted to win than anything else
and who did fortunes but lost their health and happiness
in the effort And with all their money you them
down as losers
There is good sporsmanshp in all human effort There
things the good sportsman will not do One
OF them cheating another is becoming absorbed in the
pursuit victory that he forge everything else he goes
along.
John Burroughs, who probably had than the
of life all his existence got full measure of
joyment that denied to many who made a thousand
much money. incidentally he very successful
man, for he added to the of human knowledge.
Win if you Get fortune if you Money means
independence and the ability to do good in the world.
But forget that there is enjoyment well as
trouble e and that if you not too intent winning
what the world calls will be happier You go
along and stand just good chance of making life
worth while and the world better off because lived in it.

GUARDING MILK BOTTLES.

v~yEALTH COMMlSSlO ONER COPELANDS new
II amendment to the Sanitary Code which PEN
alizes the waste of milk bottles which 60 into gar
bage and as, cans will be effective only to the degree
that il is enforced.
There is no excuse for the expensive waste OF
milk bottles, which eventually comes back on the
consumer in the price of milk. The companies pay
their overhead expenses from the difference between
the price TO farmers and the price TO consumers.
''o 1t may be assumed that Judges will not impose
the maximum OF $500 fine, year in Jail, or bodl
except in extreme cases of wlfu and repeated viola
tons. A few prosecutions we'll advertised will put
an end to the destruction.
Cooperation from the milk delivery men on their
rounds and from the ash and garbage gathererS OF
\ the Street. Cleaning Department ought TO end the
waste which runs into many thousands of dollars
each year.

the opinion of a few narrow-minded

the multitude by a few glaring ex-
amples. 1t is quite evident that
Clayton hasn't looked into the
proper places.
I would suggest that he make a
visit to some OF the Athletic Clubs,
the Militia Armories, the Universi-
ties, the American Legion Posts. the
Veterans of Foreign War Posts. the
Y.M.C.A.'s or the Knights of Col

with the young men who make the
backbone Of the city. 1 am sure he
will find that they stack up against
any. to be found anywhere in the
world. There's no doubt about IL. 1t
has already been proven. Read the
history Of the New York City boys
in the War. Their record of bravery,
valor and intrepidity Is surpassed by
none. The youths to whom Clayton
refers are probably the ones who
drifted into New York City from the
small towns in order to lose them
selves and live down their poor repu-
tations.

ASSUMING" A LOT.

IN HIS talk before the American Iron and Steel
j Institute yesterday Judge Gary attempted to ex-
plain the prevailing business slump. o
In single phrase he succeeded far better than he
+" probably intended He said:
Assuming that the steel industry has been
fair and reasonable in prices up to the present
time, 1t must be admitted, think, that there
, I. have been and still are charged for certain
commodities unreasonable and unfair, II not
extortionate. prices"
To paraphrase Judge Gary said: Assuming that
my business has been fair and reasonable" That
Is precisely what every other business man in every
fine of business has been saying They have been
assuming" great deal which, in many cases, was
not So and have continued to assume until the buy
ng strike hit them and knocked their assumptions
galley west.
In the case Of Judge Gary and the steel business
the assumption will need lot of explaining in the
face of the figures.
AS an example, the pre-war price OF steel rails
was $28 ton. For the years 1916 10 1920, in
clusive the Nov. quotations printed in The
World Almanac were $685. S3S, SIS, s45 and $55
The corresponding figure yesterday was $47 de-
cline of IS per cent on what is one of the most I'M
portant and far-reaching commodities
And so, with vrtuous air, Judge Gary lectures
other business men on unreasonable, unfair, if not
4 extorionate, prices"
Judge Gary is good deal like the old lady who
marched in the parade and complained, "They are
oil out of step but me-"
She assumed lot too.

ON THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY.

THERE is a mystery and air Of legalism about
i wills which daunts the lay1nan. II IS more
than possible that lawyers have fostered this feeling
by putting into wills more than is required. Extra
words, redundant phrases and legastic red tape
mean business for the legal profession
In this connection the will OF the late Chief Justice

A silver Lining.


Anent Robert Clayton's letter which
appeared in your paper, would like to
say that rtily agree with him
II anything hrs put it too mildly.
The average New York young man is
really a miserable specimen of hu-
manity. physically, mentally, and
morally. He is invariably either mar
row-chested. p-shouldered, near
sighted, fiat-footed, or otherwise
physically defective. Look at the re-
jections for the Army and Navy. Their
mental horizon is bounded by the city
limits, and their ignorance OF the rest
OF the United States and the world is
abyHmal.
AS for his morals, he simply hasn't
any. A New York young man else
where in the United States has ia
strive to earn respect, because of the
universal contempt in which he is
held. The manhood OF the rest OF this
country is as high above New York
City's degenerated manhood" as the
manhood OF ancient Greece was
above that of China. The silver lin
ing TO the cloud is the fact that he is
not to be taken as type of Amer
lean, for in the ma jority of cases he
is either a foreigner. or OF foreign
stock. | was born in Texas.

ONLY $lOO!

DOWN in Pennsylvania the School Board has
II added insult to injury.
The board has decided to require school teachers
to file bond to insure fufnent of contracts. Thus
the injury will come from the payment teachers
must make to surety companies.
III health will be considered proper reason for
cancellation of contracts. Matrimony will not be 50
considered, and the board proclains that it will exact
its penalty, otherwise 500, from any feminine
teacher who breaks her contract in order to marry
Here obviously, is the insult added to the injury
for, as we have remarked the amount of the bond
is 500, only 800.
Just what sort of teachers do the Altoona schools
employ that they should be valued so sightingy by
the board' Does the board imagine that any pro-
spective husband OF beautiful young normal school
graduate will be stopped by palry 800 forfeit'
If the board even dares to think that so small
sum will make the faculty matrmony-proof, the
teachers have good reason for resentment.
