Dear Editor:
What do you think?
No, no, no. What has Babe Ruth
done but be q credit to baseball. He
committed no crime against baseball
or society.
Who is Judge Landis or anyone elss
who by word or pen can deprive a man
in our land of liberty Of his earnings?
About this time one year ago some
ball players confessed throwing ball
games, a horrible crime against base.
ball The same men were never freed
in a court trial. Babe Ruth still has
the courts for redress, and 1 hope he

The Washington times., 1921-12-07

Dear Sir: Judge Lands decision Is
not only too severe, but the rule which
Ruth broke Is unjust and should be
corrected. Why not stop the major
league players performing in the win
ter league? Has not Ruth as much
liberty with himself as these players
or Lands himself, who is keeping an
other man off the magistrates bench
while he enjoys the $42, 900 which
Ruth helps to earn?
The baseball public does not care
who is boss of baseball; they want
Ruth; and II you will attend Sunday
game when Ruth Is playing you will
easily see that this Is true.
OF course, baseball must be gov
erned by rules, but why this rule
which Ruth broke?
If 1t was left to just one Of the Sen.
ators who want to oust Lands from
the bench he would be ousted. SO
why leave the case of Ruth's in just
one mans hand?
1 want to see Ruth start the season.;
so do all dyed-in-the-wool fans who
pay their admission to see ball players
and not to support $42 900 plus a mag

Lands too severe in any way. 1t

Oysters Have Many Enemies.

Between the planting and the har-
vest, an interval Of from two to five
years, the oyster culturist assumes
many hazards. On the New England
coast, after all his material is down,
the tickle "set" may not appear, pos
sibly because at the critical time some
weather disturbance may have killed
the baby oysters while they were yet
swimming near the surface. In the
Gulf Of Mexico the "set" may be so
heavy that there is scant room for the
oysters to grow, aud many die, while
those that are left are half starved
and misshapen from crowding. Even
when the little oysters or "spat," have
attached themselves in favorable num-
hers, their perils have just begun.
They are never safe from other enc
mics until they fall into the hands OF
their arch foes.

When the Ships Como In.

In Hawaii, the Philippines and Cuba
one of the chief topics Of interest to
the islanders is the arrival and de-
parture of steamers. Newspapers de-
vote whole pages to these boat move
ments, to lists Of the passengers,
interviews with notables on board
and stories Of the voyage by members
of the officers staffs and crews. In
fact the arrival of the evening train
in mainland country town holds
no more interest for the residents
than, the maritime news has for the
people of Honolulu, Manila and
Havana. The Cuban capital has a
new object Of interest in this regard
in the lately instituted daily air serv-
Ice between that city and Key West.
The planes are of the United States
navy scout type, each carrying eight
passengers.

HELPED PAY AMERICAS DEBT
How Mrs. Monroe Was Instrumental
In Saving the Life Of Madame
Lafayette.

An interesting sidelight on history
lies in the story Of how the wife of
James Monroe fifth President, saved
the life Of Madame Lafayette at the
time Monroe was American ambassa-
dor to France. Lafayette himself was
in prison in Germany, and kept in a
foul dungeon. Nine. Lafayette had
been seized by the Revolutionists, and
was confined in the prison of La Force,
and date had been set for her execu-
tion. The Monroes were very much
alive to the great debt America owed
the young aristocrat, and Mrs. Monroe
determined to do what she could. ~
She ordered the state coach of the
embassy, with its flaring coat of arms,
to deliver her to the doors of the
prison Of La Force, and once there,
calmly requested an interview with the
unfortunate prisoner. An interview
with a person sentenced to the knife
was unheard of, but the dawning
power of the United States was such
that the officials dared not refuse the
request of the ambassadors wife. A
few words were exchanged between
the women, and Mrs. Monroe drove
away. The next morning she was
liberated, the French RevOlutionists
fearing to execute her, and desiring
thus to secure the friendly attention
of the new nation. 1t was daring
thing to do, for the results might have
been disastrous and all sorts of in
ternational complications might have
arisen.

CIVIC ORDINANCE IN JAPAN
All Houses Have Tablet Telling Name
of the Responsible DWelIer
Within the Walls.

In Japan you can learn good many
things about the resident of a house
merely by looking at his door. Ac-
-cording to police regulations, says q
writer in Chambers Journal the en-
trance to every residence must have
small wooden tablet affixed to it. This
tablet has the name and the number of
the house on it, and Oh another tablet
is the name of the responsible house
holder, who in many cases is an in
fant, a younger brother of relative.
Sometimes, though rarely, the names
of other inmates are placed over the
door, but there is no police regulation
that requires it. except in the case of
boarding houses, which have to place
their boarders' names outside for all
to see. A person fortunate enough to
possess q telephone always has the
number proudly displayed over his en-
trance. Near it you will often see a
quaint enameled or tin disk. That is
the fire insurance mark. oEvery fire
insurance company has its own special
metal plate, which it nails to the Intel
when it insureS a house.
There are always several small
pieces of paper pasted over the door,
placed there by the police. One is to
certify that the periodical oshoji, or
great cleaning, has taken place. An
other paper tells us, perhaps, that the
sanitary conditions are satisfactory.
What others stand for is known only
to the police themselves; that they
give secret information about the in
mates Is certain.
Formerly it was the rue that, If
there was we'll upon the premises,
the fact had to be proclaimed by
square board marked with the charac-
ter for well-i2o. This was to show
where people could obtain water in
case Of fire in the neighborhoOd. The
regulation may still be in force In
country places, but owing to water now
being piped, 1t is no longer enforced
in the cities.
