UNyEIL PEARY MEMORIAL.
White Maine Granite Spheroid Unveiled
by His Daughter Mrs. Stafford.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Unique in
its conception and in its design is the
memorial which was unveiled in Airing
ton National cemetery today over the
final resting place of Rear Admiral Rob
ert +. Peary, discOverer of the North
Pole. The unwilling was attended with
appropriate ceremonies in which Presi-
dent Harding and Secretary DENLY par
ticipated.
The memorial consists of a huge Oblate
spheroid of white Maine granite, in pro-
portion and in position like the earth,
resting on a massive granite base. On
the surface of the granite globe are hewn
the outlines of the land and water masses
of the earth's surface. At its North Pole,
tilted toward the north is bronze star.
symbol of the achievement by which
Peary's name will ever be remembered
In the mind of man.
The symbolic design of this monument
was conceived by Admiral Peary during
his last illness and suggestions for it were
dictated to his wife, herself an Arctic eS-
plorer and traveller of note. less than
three weeks before his death.
The unwilling was performed by the
admiral's daughter, Mrs. Edward Stat
ford, who was Marie Ahnighito Peary
and was known during her childhood as
the "Snow Baby She was born nearer
the pole than any other white child. in
the far northern headquarters of one of
the expeditions of the nineties by which

recreation supervisor of one of our
larger cities recommends putting games
on a basis where winning is only one of
several important issues. While his
suggestions are made especially in re-
gard to playground contests between
younger children, they could be applied
to higher athletics to good advantage.
Under his system, winning counts 30
points out of 100 Conduct and sports
manship count 30 points, reliability and
promptness score 20. Contestants must
battle to win, but winning at the ex-
pense of clean play, craftsmanship and
good temper deserves no laurels. A
game delayed may mean a program
ruined or a whole team forced to de-
fault for the hardness of one. As for
the player who cannot be relied upon to
be in his place when needed-he is a
gutter. Pretty good rules to apply in
the everyday game of life.

THE GOAL OF COAL.

As the approaching crisis in the coal
industry looms larger on the horizon,
the presentation of facts about the in
dustry is bound to divide itself into one
sided discussions showing the position of
operators, of miners and, now and then,
even of the public. If the whole truth
were fully presented in every case
the public might arrive at a definite and
helpful solution. As it is, however,
there is much confusion and inevitable
beclouding of issues.
The recent Graphic Number of Sur
vey, on its editorial page, gives a use
full summary of the things about this
situation in which the public will inter
est itself, if it is wise The public
ougAt to find the answer to such ques-
tions as:
What stands in the way of the facts
What are the immediate causes of the
annual shortage and high prices in coal
What are the evils which the coal own
ers state? What are the ills the min
ers name? How would an engineer
characterize the Industry"
The answers to those questions would
go a long way toward clearing up the
partisan mists surrounding the contro-
versy. After all, as the Survey says:
The goal of the industry is : steady
supply of coal to the consumer at a rea-
sonable price; regular work and an ade-
quate annual income to the miners; a
proper return to management in a well
organized industry and the safeguard
ing of coal for future generations"
Surely such a goal is not permanently

A correspondent in the Brattleboro
RefOTmer protests against the selection
of a Vermont "poet laureate' on the
ground that it would be step back
ward and an unnecessary expense.
Bless you, the poet laureate of Vermont
as designated by the state federation
of Women 8 clubs, is not to be paid like
a janitor; but he is to be crowned much
as some kings are being crowned-an
empty honor and besides no emoluments
our impression of the little voting con-
test now being promulgated by the
women. Let the selection go on-each
voter to his own way of thinking and
the poet having the greatest number of
supporters receiving the crown of votes

OUR ANCESTORS TREATED

Constipation is as old as the world.
Most people must fight it from birth to

form their functions normally.
Our early ancestors turned to Nature
for pleasant relief. From herbs. banks,
roots and leaves blessed with laxative
properties. they prepared a pleasant, eff
fective extract. Such n remedy as our
forefathers made is DIR. True's Elixir.

FATE MAKES BIG PITCHER
 INTO BATTER

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Destiny has brought John "Reb' Russell back to the major leagues as an outfielder after he was declared passe as left hand pitcher three years ago and forthwith forgotten. A marked inclin- ation to change a pitched ball into a home run will keep him there for some time to come.
 Russell is hitting them so far and so often nowadays that he is ranked with Ruth, Hornsby, Williams and Tillie Walker as one of the most dan gerous sluggers of the day. He has been up with the Pirates only com raratively few weeks, yet in that inter- val his total has mounted into double figures. An even star with the rest of the field and Russell might easily have topped the National League in home runs, if not both the majors.
 COMES BACK STRONG
 As it is he has sold himself com Dletely as a come back He is through with pitching, of course, just as Ruth, Joe Wood and others have given up the mound in favor of the outfield. It would be a unique little plot if Ruth

PRESENT DAY KIDS
 DROP "HARD" BALL

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 3.-Un- less something is done future material for Americas greatest pastime-that of baseball-will be a scarce article
 The lad of the sand lot today who pitches with an underhand lob like the swinging of a pendulum a light and soft indoor ball to rubber twenty three feet away is replacing the hard" ball player of yesteryear, which has caused great concern among the Ivory Hunters who wonder where they will find hard ball material for the future.
 Shining stars of the big league to- day are the lads of a few years ago who played" on the commons, side streets, and byways where the old dollar and a quarter whipped through the ozone with snap and was cracked by heavy stick and the wielder took to the dirt to dodge the baseman's tag, and the fielder winged a burning ap- pie to the catcher which spanked his mitt with bang
 Today it is different. Fluff! A dull thud-when the feathery sphere meets the toothpick bat. It sails through the air with all the easiness of a toy balloon to the bare hands of one or two shortstops.
 It is claimed by some that the youngster will change his style of playing and stack up all right later on. But can he?

BOY TAKES DARE MADE BY FATHER;
 WALKS TO COAST

EUGENE, Ore, Oct 2. - After a tramp of 4,000 miles during the past four months, Richard Slatier, aged Is, who says his home is in Milwaukee, Wis, arrived in Eugene a few days ago. Last May, according to the boys story, his father dared him to walk to the Pacific Coast. He took the dare and left home with only $15.
 He says that he travelled over the southern route to California and plans to return to Wisconsin by making a swing through Canada. Slatier adds that he is no "bum" and is making his way. He says he is determined to show his father that he is made of sterner stuff than the parent believes. Slatier claims to be high scaool student He expects to have walked 10000 miles by the time he reaches home.

and Russell, two of the leading south. paws of another day and age, should head their respective leagues in slug ging next year.
 Fate is entirely responsible for Rus sells return to the big time. He pitched his arm away for the White Sox between 1912 and 1919, too may curve balls being the answer. He was let out by Comiskey and believed, like the rest of them, that his days in the big leagues had been cut short forever. He went to work in an In dianapolis factory for $40 week and managed to make a pretty good thing of it by pitching semi-pro ball on Sat urdays and holidays.
 Enters fate at this juncture. Min- neapolis was playing in the Hoosier metropolis and Joe Cantillon was in bad way for an outfie1der, Rondeau having pulled up lame. He heard of Russell, sent for him and offered him a contract Russell fell for the bait much against his better judgment.
 This happened at the outset of the present season. Within few months Russell was back on the major league circuit.

Growing population is said to be the cause for the change from hard to soft baseball for the youngster today, because large enough space in which to play the game is not available ani even the space today is rapidly di- minishing.

HIT FEM ON NOSE

He hit .350 for Cantillon in the ''fill in'' role, and so many of his safeties went for extra bases that the Pirates had to do some lively bidding to get him away from several other big league clubs. To date he has been worth whatever the Pirates paid for him and more.
 Rest has brought Reb's pitching
