DRASTIC, BUT sADUTARY
From the Boston Post)

The new regulations governing the manufacture and sale of fireworks in Massachusetts which have been is- sued by Colonel Foote. commissioner of public safety, and approved by the Governors Council, are pretty stiff; but who can say that they are not salutary?
 In the first place, makers of fire works must file a bond of s1o,o0o to cover loss. damages or injuries that might be caused by the nanufactur- ing or storage of the fireworks. Any person holding a public exhibition of fireworks must file a pond of s15. 5.oou with the State Treasurer to cover losses and to protect persons who might be injured by carelessness or neglect of the exhibitor. Violation of this rule is punishable by a fine Of $500 And the innocent-Ioohng fire balloon must not be sent up under penalty of S10o fine or a month in jail, or both.
 The menace to property and per sons from the too-free shooting-off of aerial explosives is too great to be longer tolerated without strict safe guarding. The new rules ought to be beneficial all around .iAazA1xz--- --

WHAT TO DO WITH THE
 FOURTH OF JULY

Mrs Thomas G. Winter, President of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, has made an appeal to the members of the Federation to uphold it's effort to secure a nationwide ob- servance of a citizenship day. In her letter, which appears in June Good Housekeeping. Mrs. Winter says:
 'T am appealing to you today to give your active and enthusiastic CO., operation to a plan of our Depart ment of American Citizenship - a plan definite. concrete, deeply appeal ing and capable of being made a tre- mendous agency for creating the spirit of American Citizenship, which is a far greater thing than the Amer ican Voter or the American PoHu- clan.
 Tn every little town and hamlet. in every big city, let the club women of this Federation start a movement to make the Fourth of July Citizen ship Day.
 ''No matter what other celebra-
  tions are listed, let a part of that day that commentaries the time when American Citizenship became an actuality in the world. be given to a noble welcome extended by the whole community to the boys and girls who have come of age during the year and to the foreign-born who have become citizens Both these groups should be included and recognized at the same time, thus intensifying in the minds of both the spiritual significance of the occasion. There should be a procession; there should be music for young feet to march by; there should be wise words uttered on the meaning of citizenship in this greatest of all democracies; there should be a proud welcome given by dignitaries of the commun- ity in the presence of massed crowds of relatives; and the generation a little older, the young men who have fought for the land, should be there to point the onward hand to the newer Americans

SIMS AND HARVEY

(From the New York WorId)
 The hysterica1 excitement of the Harding Administration over the in discretions of Rear Admiral Sims's London speech is in striking contrast with its cynical indifference to the far more glaring indiscretions of Am bassador Harvey's London speech.
 When Mr- Harvey insulted all the American people in the name of the ficia1 disapprovaL Not 9 Republican Senator made protest. No hint of disavowal came from the White House or the State Department. On the contrary, the correspondents were told in effect that the Harvey speech ninfstration.
 What difference when Rear Ad- miral Sims attacks a small faction of American Sim Fein vorersI Senator Mccormick rushes to the White House to call the matter to the Presidents attention. Secretary Denby sends . cablegram to the Rear Admiral saying that e.I have read with amazement certain extracts from a speech purporting to have been made by you" and ordering Sims to fin form the department immediately bv cable whether or not you were cor rectly reported" The Senate pron,nt- ly orders an investigation. There is to be discipline for Sims but no dis cipline for Harvey.
 Yet the Sims speech. however much it may be open to criticism on the ground of fact and good taste, is merely the opinion of an individual. Nobody would dream of interpreting It as an expression of the United States Governments policy or opin- ion The Harvey speech, on the other hand. has been accepted everywhere in Europe as the formal expression of President Harding's own views on international affaira>

THREE-QUARTFR VERDICT
(From the Evening WorId)

Judge James A Allen has made several almost revolutionary propos- als for reform of the Judiciary and of judicial procedure in the State courts.
 Of these by far the most striking would allow nine of twelve jurors to render a verdict in all civil and most criminal cases.
 Before such a change can be made the public will have to be educated to understand what it means. Trial by twelve good men and true'' and the requirement of unaninity in the verdict is more than established law It is a tradition
 But the tradition has been weaken ed in some respects in recent years Many commercial associations have decided that arbitration is fairer and less expensive than judicial litigation
 If such a change as Judge Allen ad- vocates is to be made, it probably will come gradually-first by three quarter verdicts in a limited field of civil law, then by extensions to all civil causes.
 If three-quarter verdicts result in as high a. degree of justice in civil cases as does the present procedure perhaps we may in time become ac- customed to the idea and extend it in the field of criminal law.

EDUCATION FOR COOPERATION
(H- G. Wells in the July Yale
 Review)

Review)
 Education is really one of the new est of the arts and sciences The idea of particular, exceptional peo- pie pursuing learning has been fa- miliar to the world for scores of cen turies, but the idea of preparing the minds of whole classes or whole communities for corporations and common actions by q training in com mon ideas is comparatively a new one The idea of education as learn ing still dominates us, and so it is that while we have numbers of teach. CTS of history who are or who at tempt to be, or who pose as histor- ians who teach, we have compara- lively few teachers of history who are teachers whose instrument is history. In relation to the science of history and indeed to all the sciences. the importance Of teacher as teacher is still insufficiently recognized.

closed 4 very successful season from
every viewpoint These clubs were the
Whitnlans, j. NJ. C. a.. Navy Yard, Sc
vile Squares and the First Paptists.
Toward the close Of the season it was
evident that either the Whitmans or
the Y. NJ. C. a. would win the pennant.
Therefore, a post season series was
played to decide the pennant winner,
and the Whitmans won the necessary
two games before the Y. NJ. G. a. fairly
woke up The Navy Yard finished
third, the Sevilies fourth and the IN
lucky Baptisfs occupied the cellar. All
OF the teams played a good brand Of
bali, and many close pitchers battles
were witnessed by the fans. The Whit
mans played a post-season game with
the Pensacola Regulars, and held them
to a IL to II victory
The batting leader OF the league was
Charles Hartsfield, a promising young
Whitman player Charles garnered the
splendid average Of 40. Next to the
leader was Hammers. the hard hitting
third baseman OF the Navy team, who
was Is points behind the leader with
.425. The third place batter was
Hates, of the r. NJ 9. A. outfit, who
piled up d record of .405. Weber, Of the
Sevilles, led the fielders. handling IS
chances without an error. Tommy

PRO" FOOTBALL
SEEMS TO BE
SLIPPING

The popularity of professional foot
ball seems to be on the wane.
A year or two ago it looked as IL the
professional game was sure to go big.
A reaction. however, has set in, which
makes it seem that the public has
soured on the professional grid" game.
In Cleveland, where the, game went
big for time. interest seems to have
died out to great extent IN fact. the
crowds dropped off so badly that the
Cleveland management found it far
more profitable to book games away
from home on a straight guarantee
than to gamble with the weather and
the enthusiasm of the fans.
1t is beginning to look as If football
was truly the school and college game.
Spirit is what makes the game so at
tractive from the college standpoint.
That spirit Is entirely lacking in the
professional games. This despite the
fact that practically all the leading
pro teams are composed almost entirely.
Of former college stars. many Of them
All-American selections.
a number Of the former stars Who
have turned ''pro" seem to have for
gotten all about the old college spirit.
Instead Of playing to the limit Of their
endurance. they save themselves at
every opportunity, and take few If any
chances. It is only natural that any
sport In which there is decided lack of
effort and interest by those taking part
should sooner or later suffer as
result. That tells the story of profess
siona1 football

BAD TACKLING IS
CHIEF FAULT
IN FOOTBALL

Poor tackling has been a prevailing
fault in almost every big game played
in the east and tho west. The experts
have harped on the failure of the
tacklers to bring down their men as in
the old days.
In the Princeton Yale game, three
Princeon men had a chance to bring
down Aldrich of Yale as he circled the
Princeton end for the first touchdown
of the game Two of the Tiger players
missed Aldrich entirely. while the third
taclIler allowed himself to be dragged
over the goal line before bringing Al.
drich down.
In the old days coachers had the
players indulge in tackling practice ev-
cry day. The tackling dummy was
badly treated in the old days. It's diff
ferent now with the new game. These
are the days of the forward passes,
shifts and deceptive plays. There is SO
much more for the player to learn that
that coach spends much of the time in
structing his players on attack ana de-
Tense that formerly was devoted to.
tackiing.
Percy Haughton. former coach Of
Harvard, briefly explains why tackIing
as an art has suffered. Here is the way
he puts it. When coach has only q
short item to prepare his line of battle,
in order to meet the varied attack that
he must face, he cannot give 100 much
! time to one subject. Tackling was once
the big thing in football, 1t still plays
leading role, but has suffered because
coaches can no longer give the neces-
sary time 10 perfeeting that feature Of
the game

Oldest Man in Turkey,
Aged l47, Back to Work
tBy Associated Press)

tby ASsoTlateu FEcSSD
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 2--Zora,
Turkeys oldest man, said to be III
years Of age, has gone back to work
as a waterfront hamaI carrier of
heavy weights) after a quarrel with
the Turkish Naval base authorities.
/, He was recently pensioned in honor
of his age and long service and he
was preparing to spend his last years
in idleness. But, as pensions are not
being paid here because of an empty
treasury. Fora declared he was still
strong enough to work, and is daily
proving it. He has threatened to
join the Nationalist army in Anatolia
but SO far has kept the peace.
Old age makes itself respected in
Turkey by capacity and willingness
to work. A certain Murad, employed
rs a messenger by the Turkish tele-
graph Office, was offered a pension
when he reached his 12tth year He
refused it, as it, meant knocking off
work, but his superiors insisted he
must make room for younger people
who otherwise could find no work,
and would have no chance to get On in
life
Murad finally agreed to quit provid-
ing his young son was taken in his
place. This seemed fair and he was
told to bring the son around. The
son presented was a white-haired man
more than 20 years old.

To do this, get about four ounces of
