Isn't the drain of winter baseball
on the Coast too heavy?"
Why should it bo? A ball game rarely
lasts over two hours, and there are feys
moments when the ballplayer is moving
at any greatly accelerated pace. Con-
slider the amount of time from this two
hours he spends upon the bench waitO
ing his turn at bat or stands IN The
outfield or around the infeld waitinS
for something to happen. The pitcbeS

no great drain upon the physical re-.
sources OF any one else who is in good
shape.
Golf Expenses
TT HAS taken golfers In this country
some time to realize they were being
soaked in almost every direction Wifi
the cost of play above what it should
be, but at last they nre beginning IN
blink into the light of dawn.
There has been little or no attempt
at economy in any direction.
1t has been taken for granted too
long that every golfer was millionaire,
willing to pay any price for anything
he wanted. i mere nave been waste and
extravaganza in building and in the
upkeep of numberless courses. There
has been entirely too much money nut
in clubhouses. Balls and clubs havs
been too expensive, but this cost ia
coming down and there will be down
ward revision In oil other ways.
But this has nothing to do with tho
problems of the hundreds of thousands
who are not rich men, but who still
have keen fancy for the way of the
ancient green.
When golf expenses are properly
handled and directed there will be
5000, 900. in place Of 1000, 900. golfers
in the United States, or about the same
proportion that England and Scotland
know to the population at large
UTT HAS taken Willard two and
i half years to try TO make up his
mind whether to tackle Dempsey

neighbours children are always
wretchedIy brought up. We could
suggest innumerabIe means and
methods Of improving upon "smalI

the same moment our own young
sters run shameIessly wild, and are
subject to much of the same criti-
cism from that neighbor herself.
But it is not in that spirit Of crit
icism | make suggestion, rather in
hope that it may be of help to
some mother who has child or two,
with the attending problems. a
To foster feeling of responsible
ity in a child is one of the most inn
portant steps in starting him along
the right road. 1t will work wonders
with him if he has his own little
task, duties about the house, for
which he alone is responsible.
The boy who keeps the grass trim
med along the walks after the lawn
has been moved, who empties the
ashes from the kitchen range each
day, sweeps the snow from the walk
in winter, picks up his clothes each
morning and leaves his bedroom in
order, that boy is beginning well
When he knows that his family de
pend upon him for the evening pa
per and the mail, the responsibility
thus imposed will strengthen the will
to do. 1t may be far easier for
mother to do a thing herself than to
succeed in getting the boy to do il,
but in the end the effort will be found
well worth the while and one which
thoughtful mother should feel it
duty to make.
The little girl who shares the task
Of dishwashing with her mother and
whose duty it is to dust the living
room before going to school in the
morning, that little girl is developing
not only her abilities as a young
housekeeper, but those characters
tics of unselfishness and service that
are most essential in us all.
The que stion arise s is to when we
can b gin to :.nposa iheae little du-
ties, for surely three year old can
never be expected to shovel snow. No
indeed, but child m be .rained
at surprisingly ca age to por-
form duties that lea as he grows
older to larger things. visit any
kindergarten and children may be
found doing things of which their
own mothers never suspect them
capable. 1t is altogether too COM
mon fault that mothers underes
innate their children capabilities.
Many times mothers have come to
our kindergarten and said, "Why, /
had no idea Johnnie could do such
a thing. He never has at home" For
example, children in kindergarten
win put on their leggings, coats, Ov-
ershoes and mittens without muir
muir, while at home they never even
attempt to do this.
A two-year- child may be
taught to put away his toys take
care of his coat and cap, and run
little errands about the house for his
mother. He cannot be trained too
soon to wait upon himself. Don't |
make the common mistake of being |
"a slave to your children" Teach |
them self-reliance, give them some
responsibility. You will be more than
