Babe Ruth S Mistake

A the 1922 baseball season gets under
| n way in the big leagues it becomes per
fectly certain that Babe Ruth picked
on the wrong man to ignore. The Babe who
had been having pretty much his own way
| in the American league, especially with the
luckless pitchers, saw in Judge KenpesaW
Mountain Lands, high commissioner Of base
! ball. merely fussy little old man who said
the Babe mustn't play in certain post-season
games.
The Babe went right ahead and played
anyhow. What of it? He wanted to play.
People wanted to see him play. There was
money in it. Most of all, the Babe wasn't
used to anybody telling him where to get off,
It wasn't done.
But this time it WAS done. Judge Lands
told the Babe where to get off and how long
to remain off-until the game of May 20;
months suspension that will clip his next at
tempt to set seasons home run record, and,
with the similar suspension for Meusel, will
give the New York Yankees a tough job
getting started, for all their pre-em1nent
pitching staff.
Now Judge Lands has served notice that
the petitioners who want to see Babe back
in the game before his time is out Will nave
their trouble for their pains.
Judge Lands evidently has bunch that
the artistic temperament, which the Bambino
is supposed to possess, can be somewhat
smoothed out by the iron hand.
Possibly he is right. 1t is true enough
that the managers of celebrities frequently
have to handle them gently and shut their
own eyes to many lapses Of behavior.
But Judge Lands was no manager or team
owner. The big Babe had no terrors for
him. Titanic sulks by Mr.. Ruth affected
Judge Lands equanimity not a whit. For
the good of the game, Judge Lands was made
boss of baseball. He considered it for the
good of the game to issue mandate to Ruth
and others regarding post-season play by
men on championship clubs. Babe saw fit
to regard the mandate as scrap of paper.
So Judge Lands simply told the Babe
where to get off, and how long to stay off.
And THAT doesn't seem to be scrap OF
paper, even to the Babe. Certainly not to
the owners Of the New York Yankees.
Whether or not the iron hand will smooth
out the ruffles in Mr.. Ruths temperament,
it is most likely to inscribe precedent of
calamity for future prospective offenders
against the rulings Of baseballs high COM
missioner.
They may fortify themselves for treading
the straight and narrow path by recalling
how Babe Ruth, baseballs biggest idol, went
up against Kennesaw Mountain Lands, and
bounced back.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS-SELF VS.. FAMILY

dren had any affection for him, or pride in
him? Never. Did you ever know the children
Of that kind of man to turn out to be any
think but MASTERS and spenders? You did
not. Doesn't your own common sense tell
you that # such man had thought of him
self more and his family less, that it would
have been better for all concerned?
1t is the women who bear their part OF
the family burden, not the parasitic woman,
who are devoted wives. 1t is the children who
know what it is to do without things, and
plan and work to get what they want, not
the pampered children who are fed with a
gold spoon, who make the worthwhile men
and women.
Exactly the same thing may be said about
the woman who sacrifices herself for her
family. You know the poor, meek, worn,
harried creature who spends her days in the
kitchen, because husband and children like
her cakes and pies better than a hired cooks;
who\wears the cast-offs of the family, and
eats the neck and the back Of the chicken,
and the tough end of the chops; who sits
up half the night sewing SO that Mamie may
have as many tucks in her petticoat as the
other girls, and who tip-toes around doing
the housework of a morning so as to keep
from waking up Sallie.
Did you ever know that kind of a woman
who had husband who was proud of her,
or wanted to take her about with him, or
who didn't treat her with contempt? Did you
ever know that kind of a mother whose chill
dren ever showed her any consideration?
You never did. Nobody ever did
The women whose husband and children
love and admire them are the women who
demand lot for themselves, and who make
their families go ifty-ffty with them on the
perquisites of life, as we'll as the sacrifices
And it's perfectly logical. No husband and
children are going to love woman they don't
respect, and you can't respect any human be-
ing who hasn't backbone enough to stand uI
for his rights.
The most piteous sacrifices are those which
noble-hearted women and men make to age
and helplessness. A man, who has the max.
ing Of a great success in himself, gives uI
the opportunities the big world offers him
to stay at home and help father with a pid
ding little business, or to do day laborer's
work on the old farm.
A gifted girl gives up her own career, OF
sacrifices marriage, to nurse mothers rheu-
matism, or to take care Of her orphaned
nieces and nephews. And their sacrifices are
in vain, too, because if they had followed
their own destinies they could have better
helped those they were trying to help.
But we can never settle the problem OF
what we owe to ourselves and what we owe
to others until we know whose life is the
most valuable. And this we cannot know
until the judgment day.

e America Still POPULAR

MERICA'S popularity with American
n tourists, gained in the World War
when foreign travel was shut off, con-
tinues unabated since the war.
Americans have learned that the wonders
of their own country are so vast and fas-
cinating that one could spend a lifetime
touring here and still not see it all.
Cigh rallrU--. -~reS, high Pulln--.-- -os,
high hotel rates and other high expenses in
ut to travel, have receded materially in
the past twelve months. The trend toward
"normalcy' in all these expenses has been
as pronounced as in any line.
This summer the railroads are making
tourist rates that are almost as low as pre-
war rates. Hotel owners find themselves
able, by reason of the general decline OF
prices to reduce their rates as a special in
ducement to tourists. The western hotels
are said to be planning special campaign
for the coming summer season.
European conditions are reported to be
vastly different. Railroad transportation
rates are high, the trains are crowded, the
schedules are slow, passport difficulties are
innurnerable, the hotel prices are exorbitant
and the fare is not of the best. ~
1t is trite saying, yet true one, that
nothing so broadens the education and cul-
ture of young and old alike, as travel.
Americans have country which they can
not appreciate without seeing it. We would
not go so far as to suggest that it is I'M
patriotic to see Europe before seeing Amerf-
ca, but unhesitatingly it can be said that if
one cannot see both, his choice most GER
tainly should be in favor Of America. The
more he sees of America first, the more any
American can appreciate his country after
seeing Europe and comparing it with
America.
From the Lakes to the Gulf, from the At
lantic to the Pacific. America is vast and
Astounding Wonderland, the finest inspira-
ton in citizenship and patriotism that any
American can have.

COSMETIC POISONINGS
Bv H, Addington Bruce

WV OMEN addicted to the use OF cosmet-
w les as leans of improving their
personal appearance may well take
warning from strange and sad story re-
Gently narrated in the American Journal of
the Medical Sciences by two Minneapolis
physicians, Drs. Moses Barron and Harold
G. Habein.
The story begins with the arrival at Min
nesota University Hospital of a girl sixteen
years old, who was brought to the hospital
in a stuporous, semi-conscious condition.
From her father it was learned that she had
for some months been complaining of recur-
rent attacks of p4 in the legs and feet, that
she suffered at times from colicky cramps,
and at times was greatly nauseated.
Finally, shortly before being taken to the
hospital, she becam- increasingly incapable
of physical or mental exertion. All of which
suggested to the hospital physicians a sys-
temic )isoning of some sort. The various
tests they promptly made left no doubt that
it was a case of .ead poisoning.
But it was now too late to help the I'M
fortunate girl. In few days she was dead.
And then, to their surprise, the physicians
learned that within little more than a year
three other members Of her family-her
mother, an aunt, and a younger sister-had
unaccountably failed in health and died
Only the father and brother remained, and
they had been quite free from illness.
Why had they escaped when all the fe-
males of the family had been stricken
Pressing for an answer to this question, Drs
Barron and HabeiE learned that about two
years previously, the aunt had introduced
to the household cosmetic used for the pur-
pose Of whitening the skin. It was procur-
able as powder TO be mixed with water and
rubbed in.
ga quantity of this POWDER" they report
twas turned over to us for examination. The
heaviness of the powder impressed us at
once. We examined it chemically and found
it to be pure lead carbonate.
"On inquiry we not only found that it was
commonly sold by all drug stores, including
the very best recognized ones, but that it was
freely admitted by the druggists to be lead
carbonate, ground into an impalpable powder
and dispensed to the trade for cosmetic pur-
poses."
In view of this fatal family poisoning and
of other cases of poisoning known to have
been caused by lead-containing cosmestics, it
is the belief Of Drs. Barron and Habein that
much puzzling illness among women, of a
more or less serious sort, may be similarly
caused.
They mention particularly rheumatic
pains, constipation, abdominal pains, nausea,
nervousness and insomnia as symptoms that
may be produced by lead poisoning. They
speak also of loss of hair being sometimes
due to the prolonged use Of lead-contain-
ing hair oil, pomade, or dye.
Rightly, therefore, they recommend that
health authorities put ban on the sale OF
any 1ead-containing face powder, rouge, or
hair preservative. Until such ban is i'm
who feel that they cannot get along without
cosmetics of some sort, at least refuse to
purchase any not guaranteed by the drug
gist to be free from lead. ...

tn HE most difficult question on earth to
settle is how much one owes to one

IN HE most difficult question on earth to
j settle is how much one owes to one
- self, and how much to ones family.
Possibly it is one Of the problems that no
one ever does solve satisfactorily, for no
| answer is ever just the right answer to the
riddle. Your guess always seems the wrong
guess, and no matter which course you take,
you are apt to wish that you had taken the
other one
OF course, to those with an in-growing
conscience or to those in whom the domes-
tic affections are very strongly developed,
the first impulse is to immediate themselves
on the family altar. They sacrifice their
| lives, their happiness their talents, their
| ambitions, everything, to their husbands or
wives, or their parents, or their children, or
their brothers and sisters.
They do not feel that they have any duty
to themselves, or any right to their own
lives. They consider that they were created
merely to be the slaves of their families,
J and to spend their lives ministering to 9TH
ers and doing the work that others are too
lazy and trifling to do.
And the family always accepts the sacr1-
fetal goat Let any member of family show
a willingness to be burden-bearer, and he
or she will soon find the whole family load
dumped on his or her shoulders. Let any
member of family deny himself or herself
to give to the others, and he or she will be
held up and robbed ruthlessly of every PEN
ny. Let any member of family begin put
ting others before himself or herself and he
or she will be permanently relegated to a
back seat
This is not because families intend to be
unduly cruel to the poor family martyr. On
| the contrary, they really are fond of the one
| they are prosecuting \but it is one Of life's
| little ironies that we treat those we love
worse than we do those we hate, and that
! the closer we are to people, the less consid-
| Grafton we show them. Also it is perfectly
natural and human thing to walk all over
| the person who makes a doormat Of himself
or herself, before you.
| Now abstractly, self-abnegation and the
| putting of others before oneself is a very
wonderful, and beautiful, and shining virtue.
| The only trouble with it is that it ruins those
upon whom it is practiced, and that it sell
dom accomplishes any good end. Ninety-nine
sacrifices out of hundred are absolutely
useless, and harm rather than help those
for whom they are made
Look about you and observe how selfish
ness works out in real life. Look at the man
who works himself to death for his family.
He never takes holiday. He never INDUCES
himself in any pleasure. He is always on his
| job, night and day, making money for his
| family to spend in extravagant living. They
have fine clothes. They have automobiles.

USTICE BOYLE of the Children's Court
of New York had before him street
j wait by the name of Tom, ten years
Of age: and Tom had with him wait Of
dog, Rags, of uncertain age and manifestly
scrambled pedigree.
There was nothing to do with Tom except
to commit him to children's INSTITUTION
where he would be washed, fed, educated ana
prepared for citizenship. But Tom looked
Justice Boyle in the eye and bravely inform
ed him that he would not go unless he could
carry his dog with him.
There was no provision in the institution
for taking care of dogs. It was about as
much as the institution could say grace over
to care for all the children committed to its
care.
But Justice Boyle looked at Tom, planted
suuarely in his ragged clothes in front OF
the bench; and looked at little Rags the dis
reputable mongrel that was more dear to the
Soy than any friend or any home.
= And the Judge decided that Rags would
have to accompany Tom to the institution.
And now all the children are probably hap
pier because dog has come along with this
new boy to enliven their leisure
Says the New York Tribune, commenting
on the boy and his dog:
z,s'eTogether they have suffered the viciss1-
tudes of orphanhood for five years. The boy
belonged to nobody in particular but the
dog belonged to him alone. Together they
hungered and romped and dreamed. Togeth-
er they will now taste the abundance of the
Mission of the Immaculate Virgin and expert
ment with it's rules and regulations, no doubt,
as is the nature of both pups and boys.
'Our faith in Rags will be sadly misplaced
if he does not measure up to his responsible
ties as the first dog ever committed to state
institution. What an Influence for good he
may WELD if he be the dog for the place! One
vic i'm onn0rtunitipe oO0d firnnS
with not one but dozens of boys to pet and
teach him tricks. What ball games he will
umpire! What bits of cake he will enjoy!
But it is not Rags good but that of the
institution that is of first Importance. Every
boy needs dog, however we'll fed and we'll
loved he be in the shelter of home. An or
phan boy, committed to the Unconditional rou-
tine of an institution, needs still more the
companionship of dog to teach him lessons
of tenderness and loyalty and responsibility

many parts of the globe never can support an
