RUTHLESS RUTH.

There ia lot of mental-telepathy in Ruth's ability to hit the ball "whero they aint"-which, being interpreted into non-fanistic parlance. means to hit the ball into that portion of the field where there are no players to get it. Incidentally very often he hits it over their heads.
 Every time Ruth bats there ara thousads of people wishing. hoping. believing that he will make n home run. The thoughts of these thousands penetrate the subcorscious mind of the man. and he feels he must hit that ball and hit it hard.
 There is a certain imperfection of execution-the bat does not hit tho ball "sauare on it's nose"-and tho ball does not receive all the impetus in the right place. so no long hit re- suits. This accounta for his failures.
 Or tho opposing players. not being the recipients of any thought from the thousands of spectators. may moJo to certain unexpected situations which prevents the desire of Ruth and the desire of the thousands.
 ono might say that this mental telepathy does not work on other fields than his own. True it's efficacy is some- what impaired on foreign fields be- cause many in the crowd may bo long ing for him to fail. But even when the great slugger is playing away from home there is a nucleus of spectators who want him to hit the ball. there is the continued hypnotic effect of those

PARSONS REVIEWS.

Mention was made of them in these columns before the articles by Roger Babson began to appear. It was said that they would be of great value to all.
 "Reviews'' of business and finance arc sometimes very disappointing. Not so Roger Babson's. Sometimes such reviews are couched m such general terms that when one has done read ing them. he is just as much in the dark as ever. Not so in the case of the business articles of Babson, now appearing in the Saturday issues of The Herald.
 So definite are they that the sum- mary of their comments may be found concretely in a short sentence-he tells us what to do. Last Saturday the headline told his whole story so that the man not any too familiar with finances might see in a few words. the advice of this great finan- in On Bonds" he said. Then, as a modifying sentence came the sub head: "Babson. Financial Expert, Sees Danger in 'Callable' Issues.
 There is the substance of his tale. He goes on in simple. non-technical words, to tell us as he would tell any man who did not make a study of finances. just why he gives this ad- vice. It Is all so reasonable, so readable. that the articles by this man who earns such tremendous sums for his advice. should be read, and may be understood by the man who has had practically no experience in financial matters of great scope. and by financial experts as we'll. They should be read by the whole family as part of the education necessary to bring understanding to those un- initiated in the mysteries of finance; to those most expert in them.
 They are as valuable to the mem bers of the board of finance and tax ation of our city. as they would be to the child. The former would be perhaps strengthened in their con- victions. or would be able to formu- late their objections and disagree ments-if such exist-to MT. Babson's arguments. and the latter would learn something of what it is all about"

REpUDIATING THE LEAGUE.

IT tho treaties absolutely repudiat- ed the Loasue of Nations ideal as Senator Johnson says. President Hard nasty ratification. It does nothing of the sort.
 But it does place us in a position that anything of the sort cannot be entered into by the United States without the sanction of Congress.
 It has been believed by many that President Harding has had up his sleeve always a thought looking for n closer relationship between nations. Tho conference looking to the reduc- tion of armaments of nations certain ly does not contradict the impression n that President IIarding Is not an ''isolator." IL is believed that Hard ing. Root and Hughes. two of them men of great minds. the third a man Of great authority. all have this closer relationship in their hearts
 It Is believed. moreover. that they have confidence in the people. and the representatives of the people. And rfhey believe that the time will come. and tho feeling will be shown that n peaceful world may not go on with out better understanding between nil nations. Then Congress may act.
 But all arc willing to have this ex- precision come from the people. And for this reason they will not object to tho reservations in tho treaties mak- ing it impossible for a representative of tho United States to be sent to commissions provided for by the Treaty of Versailles unless Congress approve tho reason for such commis- sion and our sending a representa- tive to it.
 As to foreign outanglements, the treaties do not make us any more safe from them than would the de- sire of tho three persons mentioned There is no reason why President Harding, Secretary of State Hughes. and Mir. Root should be against the reservations. They were for the prompt ratihcations of the treaties. Their positions have not been changed by the reservations.

CONTINUED SAFETY.

Safety First Week" has passed. It is impossible to tell what actual good it did: how many accidents or even deaths woro prevented because of tho use of extraordinary caution.
 But 1t is sure that the good 1t did accomplish would be littlo it tho thought of Safety were not to ba made moro rorcib1e in tho minds of thoso who took active or even inactive interest in tho thought which prompt cd lt.
 Don't Get Hurt" Don't Let Any ono Get Hurt" and Think" were all repeated and reference made to them so often that it seems as though the memory of them and the constant thought which must have como to those who are often on the streets. must have made an impression.
 There were many engaged in re- minding us that Safety was tho first thing to be considered last week. They win take rest In the matter of re- mindinE others of tho care which all should tako to avoid injury which by taking lttlo thought may bo pre- vented.
 But In their minda tho thought will stay and. quite likely. become an ob- session with them. Those who took Iesa active interest will begin to think tho thing over and sec how wiso it was to mako c spectacular demonstra- ton of tho wisdom of such q cam paign.
 Now ia the time to make that week a full success.
 May tho memory of 1t and what it waa intended to accomplish continue. May the same spirit that prevailed last week. after one had just noticed Q Don't Get Hurt" sIgn continue this week and throughout the years to come.
 Tho week of intensive work to bring thought to everyone for the safety of self and others, should take a firm hold and should grow until there comes the time when no special desig- nation will have to be made for a special week or day when people will have to be urged not to get hurt and not to let anyone else get hurt if it may be prevented.

The Mysteries of New Britain. Manchester Evening Herald).

Mayor Curtis of New Britain is dead right in his determination to clean up his city. The strong pre- sumption that New Britain is a center of rum running activities has been practically confirmed by the various investigations following the murder last week of Louis Wrinkle, a real es- tate dealer with his office under his hat. This crime makes the third kill ing in the city or its vicinity that seems to be traceable to an active and powerful liquor rng.
 There are ugly rumors that the po- lice department is not above suspi- cion or at least, that there are weak brethren among its members and there is steadily increasing public demand for action of some sort to prove or disprove such a grave refiec- ton on local government.
 Mayor Curtis is letting no oppor- tunity slip to discover the responsibil- ity for a series of crimes that began with the finding of the body of Enio Renaldino who was shot dead in his automobile on a lonely Pennington road nearly a year ago. The mystery of his death is still mystery all though all investigations have tended to couple the murder with the noto- rious traffic in liquor that has cen tered in and around New Britain.
 Mayor Curtis. however, declines to go off at half cock and deprecates a general chopping off of heads on mere suspicion. He takes the sensible at- titude that the police department as

Stylish Wasp Is
 Victorious In the
 Derby Field Trials

Montgomery, January 21. Stylish Wasp, pointer. owned by Miss Marion Dupont of Montpelier Station, Va, and handled by R. K. Armstrong of Barber, N. C., won the derby championship of the National Field Trials club at Letohatchie today after third heat Of one hour with Dr. John Cromwell braced in the elimination for the big stake event of the year.
 When the two dogs were called out this morning, the Dupont bitch was the favorite, her first heats having been reeled off in championship form, but the Atlanta setter, owned by Scott Hudson of the Georgia city, and han oled by Ed Farrier of Letohatchie, gave the Wasp the race of her life both dogs were in fine form for the Ilnale and, with the Hudson entry having the advantage in the first 30 minutes, it required the skilled han ollng Of Armstrong to bring the Wasp out Tn the last half hour and with a per- rect score in the earlier heats she was adjudged the victor.

Race Horse Famine
 Existing In Europe;
 High Prices Preuail

| A race horse famine exists in Europt and unhear1.of prices are being paid
 these days for thoroughbreds in France Thomas Welsh, who trains for Joseph F. Widener of Philadelphia, brought bac, from Paris the other day some mighty interesting stories that deal with turi conditions in the French republic T was witness to an auction sale where all existing records concerning the prices for brood mares were fracturcd,S declares Welsh. The eight-year-ul Salamander was put the block. She is by St. Fr lsquin, cut of Electric-gool blood lines, tut nothing extraordinary. Yet when Salamander was auctioned some frenzied bidding immediately fol- lowed. She was finally sold to L. A. Mantacheff, the Russian oil baron, for 16,OOO guineas, which represents sS0,000 in American money under the old rate ot exchange. and approximately s60000 to- day
 T have been identified with the turf game for years, but never before heard of case where brood mare especially one without any remarkable reputation, brought any such sum.
 The day If the 1000 selling platter III France is over temporarily, at least, Horses that used to go begging for S1,U0J are now bringing from 5000 to $7500 and and the bidding for each is most spirited saw horses sold for approximately slo,- 900 which wouldn't have brought more than H,200 in normal times and which probably wouldn't command more than 5000 CT 5000 in this country
 "The remarkable demand for race horses in France is occasioned by ss~ eral reasons One is that most of the valuable horseflesh was sacrificed dur ing the war. Since then all the former owners have come back to the races with the idea of rebuilding their strings. Meanwhile, many of the newly rich in France have decided to gather racing stable for themselves. And in the third place, those who want to perpetuate the race horse in Europe arc battling to get first-class stallions and brood mares for stud purposes. G
 With the old-timers and the newly rich bidding against each other for ac- tive race horses and the breeders bend ing every effort to get horses for the stud-and with the supply rather limited, the reason tor the high prices is easily explained.
 Tt will be several years before there is return to normal in Europe gensr- ally, and France particularly, and the is that some new records in the of horses will be established. Copyright, 1921, Kings Features Syndi-

Fiue Matches for
 o.. of Va. Mitt Team

| Charlottesville, Va, January 21-(Spe-
 cial )-Five boxing matches between th, | University of Virginia team and pugilists
 of other south Atlantic colleges and uni versltles have been arranged for the
 winter programme, according to an an- nouncement made by John Clark of New Orleans, captain of the Virginia boxers ana holder of the university's heavy weight title.
 TWO matches with the cadets of V M l. are to be held at the university. the first to be held at Lexington the first week in February, and the second at the university during the latter part of February. The Virginia boxers will meet the midshipmen at Annapolis. Feo.
 ruary 21, and matches with Richmond
 college and Johns .Hopskins have been arranged, though the dates have rot
 been settled On.
 Pop Lannigan is coaching the Virginia scrappers and several promising candi- dates are out. Besides Captain Clatk the Virginians are well represented in the lightweight class by Dorsey, Turner and Lyle, and in the middleweight class by Hubbard
 An attempt to revive the interest in another minor sport has been begun by Robert Mainfort, local wrestler, who coached the Virginia matmen last year. Classes and practices will be held once week, and it is possible that the Vir- ginians may be able to arrange for sev- eral matches with other colleges in this sport. Last year the Virginians were victorious in several matches and thera is promising material for team here this season.
