BASEBALL.

Many old-time baseball players as- sert that they arc able to tell whether or not another man which they have never seen before. is or has been a baseball player of fair ability. They believe that long playing of the game leaves it mark upon the face Of those who have indulged in it.
 And the mark Is a good one. One has heard the remark at the moving picture shows: "I'n bet he used to play baseball" as some face was shown on the screen.
 IL is believed that there is much truth in the claim of old ball players. Usually the face of a former or pres

Russell Street Lawyers,

Russell Street Lawyers. Editor of The Herald:
 Please follow me from the corner of West Main and Russell streets northerly on the east side of the Rus sell street where we find the home of Judge George A. Andrews. one of our oldest lawyers. In the second house north on the same side of the street is Mrs. Hunfords where the late Frank L. Hungerford of the law firm of Mitchell and Hungerford made his home. On the west side of the street nearly opposite the Hungerford place was the home of the late Ion. Charles Elliott Mitchell where Mrs. Mitchell now resides. Here two was the home of Lawyer Charles Hooker Mitchell during the first few years of his practice. In the next house is the home of Lawyer William c. Hun gerford while on the east side of the street nearly opposite w. c. Hunger ford's is the home of his partner, Mortimer H. Camp, assistant corpora tion counsel and in the next house north of MT. Camps is the home of Alfred Le Witt, one of our youngest lawyers.
 Is there any other short street in our city with such a long list of law yer's homes?

HOME BUILDING.

I: Is not a good time to suggest the adoption of an ordinance which would mean less revenue to the city. Moreover we have not that power. in regard to tho matter hero noted. a. yet. Action by the General Assem- bly is necessary before there could be adopted by the city an ordinance ex- empting from taxation a certain DOT ton of the cost of erecting homes.
 But the ordinance adopted in New York some time ago. exempting from taxation the cost of homes up to s5,- 900 has been mentioned here. One of the great arguments against 1t was that it would not encourage the build ing of homes. as it aimed to do.
 Today there comes the report from the Borough President of Manhattan that there has been an increase of more than 61 per cent. in building plans filed this year as compared with tho same period in 1920. due to this exemption. Moreover almost all of the homes to be built will cost in the nuighborhood of s5.0O0. which is the maximum exemption allowed by the ordinance.
 Thus one of the great arguments against the adoption Of this ordinan has been shown valucless. The other chief objection in New York was the loss to the city that would result from granting this exemption.
 The matter resolves itself. there fore. into whether this feature should be considered rather than the fact that. with more homes. with fewer people distracted by their inability to find places where they may live. greater comfort. happiness and pros perity for the city would result.
 With the bright sunlight of today: with winter over and Spring almost heTe--if she is not already with us the housing situation does not cause the consternation 1t did last Fall. But there is another Fall coming and an- other winter, and there will be. it is hoped. as many if not more families seeking homes in this city.
 1T would be we'll. therefore. for our representatives to consider, and for the people to consider. if 1t would not be wise to seek from the General As- sembly permission for tho city to grant the same sort of exemption that has been granted in New York.

PROPERTY OWNERS DECIDE THAT TT IS NOT PRACTICABLE TO LAUNCH A PERMANENT PROJECT AT THIS TIME.

Plans for temporary pavement of Prospect avenue from the end of the brick pavement to Forest Park, were taken up at a meeting of residents of Pulaski Heights at the fire station, Prospect avenue and Beech street, Friday night, and a committee, in- structed to obtain definite informa- ton as to finances obtainable, was appointed.
 It was tentatively decided that a permanent paving project could not be launched at this time, because of the condition of the bond market. It is planned to put the street in tenn porary repair, using crushed rock so the base may be used when perma- nent pavement Is put down.
 The committee, which will report at a meeting next Friday night, is composed of Aldermen Bradley and Chrisp, W. J. Herring, George Fir min, C. C. Newham, J. T. Lloyd and W. T. Sitlington.
