BATTING BRAINS.

There is the old story of the painter
who, asked what he mixed his paints
with, answered, with brains, sir -
Babe Ruth bats with his brains.
We have it on the authority of DR..
A. e. Winship of the Journal of Edu-
cation that Ruth's big income is richly
merited because it sis not the result of
trick work, is not made at the disad-
vantage of anybody, not due to striking
oil and not due to politics or business
combination" but is the product of
pure, intensified brain power such as
no other American possesses"
In other words, DR.. Winship says,
Ruth deserves as much salary as any
five university presidents or any ten
state commissioners of education, be-
cause he has correspondingly more
brains
1t must be admitted, at any rate. that
Ruth has a mighty good set of brains
for this purpose, and uses them to good
effect He stands poised and ready.

where he will send it. and combines all

RADIO AND TREES.

The broadcasting of the secretary of
agriculture's Arbor day message is, 50
far, the supreme achievement of radio
telephony. Secretary Wallace was able
to spread his message over the entire
country, by combining the facilities of
the government radio stations and the
most powerful private stations. 1t was
received by perhaps three-quarters of a
million instruments. Never before did a
speakers voice reach so many people at
one time
This record, naturally, is destined to
be passed soon, in the wonderfully rapid
radio development now going on. In a
year or two a speaker of note will be
able TO address an audience of several
millions at once. 1t makes one think of
an archangel with his trumpet, summon
ing the nations of the earth.
One opportunity, however, Secretary
Wallace seems to have overlooked in this
Arbor day effort. He might have con-
eral way. 4 year or two ago, an officer
of the army signal corps, if memory
serves, announced that he had found
trees to be good aerials for receiving
wireless messages. All the receiver had
to do, he said, was to drive n nail into
a tree and run wire from the nail TO
the receiving instrument. His expert
ments were made with wireless teleg-
raphy. A tree might not serve quite so
well for the more delicate requirements
of the wireless telephone, but it would
surely be worth while for amateurs to
try. \ little extra wire strung in the
tree might help.

Martin b. Madden, whose vigilance in
analyzing all appropriation measures
that come before congress has recalled to
some of the Old-time members of that
body the days when the late William s.
Holman of Indiana became known as the
watchdog of the Treasury" has repre-
sented one of the Chicago districts in
the house for nearly 20 years. A native
of England, Mr.. Madden was brought to
America in boyhood and at the age of 10
went to work in the stone business. That
he paid attention to business even in his
youthful days is evidenced by the fact
that he became one of the largest own
ers of stone quarries in the West. Later
be broadened the scope of his business
activities, went into the contracting
business on a large scale, and in time
became a factor in numerous large in
dustrial, financial and other institutions
in Chicago and vicinity. In 1889 he
made his debut in public life as a mem
Der of the Chicago city council. Mr.
Madden stands high in the esteem of
Illinois Republicans and has been hon
ored by his party with selection as pre-
siding officer of state conventions and
delegate to the national conventions.

n RESIDENT HARDING is patient and
r. long-suffering man, so endowed by
i nature, not prone to dictatorial meth
ods, but disposed at all times to see the
other fellows point of view.
'Tis well that he is so equipped, for his
stock of patience bids fair to be heavily
drawn upon in the next few weeks in deal
ing with the Senate on the merchant marine
bill and the soldiers bonus bill He and the
Senate hackers of the bonus bill are still at
loggerheads over the form and terms of that
measure, and developments of the past few
days indicate that he may come to clnches
with the republican leaders over the ship
ping bill.
At the little dinner party at Senator
Lodges residence the other night sentiment
developed among the leaders who sat around
the board toward putting the shipping bill
off until the next session of Congress-, in
December. President Harding not long ago
caused it to be made known that if this ses-
sion adjourned without action the ship
ping bill he would call Congress back in
extraordinary session to take it up.

The chief executive has been very toler-
ant of the wishes of the House in regard to
this bill. He assented to the recess of that
body in order to allow the members to go
home and explain the bill to their constitu-
ents and sound them out upon the subject.
He expressed confidence that once the peo-
pie came to understand the measure, they
would appreciate its merits, realize the acute
necessity of some kind of legislation for the
benefit of the merchant marine generally
and the disposal of the governments fleet
of vessels in particular. He had no thought,
it is said that the Senate would balk at the
proposition of taking up the subject after
the House had acted, and he expected the
House would act upon recovering from its
present state of funk.
