CARDINALS KEPT BUSY

Through a misunderstanding re-
garding dates, the Tenleytown base
ball team that was to play the Car
dinals, Sunday, failed to appear,
but sent the Grace Athletic Club
nine in their place. The former
teams manager claims he sent
card to Business Manager 5. Ber-
nard De Vaughan, Of the Cardinals,
concerning the game scheduled, but
the card was not received.
In order not to disappoint the pa
irons of the Cardinals, the strong
Barrett Athletic Club team was
booked late Saturday night to play
the Cardinals and they arrived on
time for the game at 3 p. m. The
crack Grace Athletic Club, of
Georgetown, d. c., also arrived,
thus causing the playing of two
games instead of one game as
scheduled.
Both games were interesting and
exciting from start to finish.
"Adonis" Brown pitched the first
game against the Barrett team and
he had them biting at his fast and

played gold-brand baseball. The
Cardinals won by 5 to 4 score.
The Barrett lads also played we'll at
all times. The main feature of the
contest was the neat catching and
throwing to bases to hold runners
thereon by Catcher mick Altrock"
Meyers, of the Cardinals.
Jimmy Quayle pitched the sec
ond game against the Grace Ath-
letic athletes. Jimmy" struck out
fourteen of his opponents, allowed
them eight hits, passed two to first
base. and Glove tapped" one with
the ball. This game was one of the
best he has pitched during the pres
ent season and he surely deserved
to win, but this team mates were
fatigued from their strenuous eXer-
tions to win the first game and
they were considerably weakened
thereby. Catcher Meyers was behind
the bat in this contest also and his
antics in catching and coaching were

THE INTELLICENcE OF RACES

Lewis Madison Terman, in the Worlds Work.
Do races differ in intelligence? nation
which draws it's constituents from all corners
of the earth and prides itself on being the
melting pot of peoples can not safely ignore
this question. 1t is automatic that what comes
out of the melting pot depends what goes
into it. decade ago the majority of an
thropoogists and psychologists flouted the idea
that there are any considerable differences in
the native mental capacities of races or ma
tionalty groups. Today we have overwhelm-
ing evidence that they were mistaken. Army
mental tests have shown that not more than
Is per cent of American negroes equal or
exceed in intelligence the average of our white
average negro is vastly inferior to that Of
the average white man. The available data
indicate that the average mulatto occupies
about mid-positon between pure negro and
pure white. The intelligence of the American
Indian has also been over-rated, for mental
tests indicate that it is not greatly superior
to that of the average negro. Our Mexican
population, which is largely of Indian extrac-
ton, makes little, if any, better showing. The
immigrants who have recently come to us in
such large numbers from southern and south
eastern Europe are distinctly inferior men,
tally to the Nordic and Alpine strains we have
received from Scandinavia, Germany, Grea.

of malcontents who want different type of
leader.
Foster is now at the head of ambiguous
organization called the Trades Union Educa-
ton league 1t has been charged, and not
without good reason, that the purpose of this
organization is to preach radicalism in labor
circles The fact that Foster is secretary is
enough to make it an object of suspicion.
You would think that the members of labor
unions had learned by this time that their
cause is not being served by ultra radicals who
advocate revolution and violence as opposed
to peaceful means for gaining their objects.
Most union men know this, but there are still
a considerable number who do not.
It is a significant fact that the higher the
grade of intelligence in a labor union, the
harder it is for radicals to influence its MEM
bership Unions that are building skyscrap-
ers, buying mines and establishing banks have
no time to waste on agitators whose doctrines
are destructive to labor and a menace to ma
tional welfare.

been Incorporated in Virginia, sponsored by
prominent southern and women and rep
resenting all the southern states, the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, the United
Confederate Veterans and the Confederate
Memorial association. Maj E. w. R. Ewing,
historian-in-chief of the Sons of Confederate
Veterans for many years, is president. Mrs.
Joseph D. Aderhold Of Admission, is president
of the Alabama division.
The movement to do fitting honor to some
of the souths greatest leaders who fought in
Virginia-Beauregard, Johnston, jackson,
Lee and others-and mark for all time a spot
sacred to the Lost Cause" should enlist the
sympthy and support of everyone interested
in teaching southern history to future genera
tions
A tract of about $50 acres is being bought,
including the Henry house and other points
of historic interest, in the center of which
it is proposed to erect monumental tower,
where visitors may view both battlefields. Out
side of this land it is planned to mark every
important troops position and the spots where
distinguished leaders fell in battle. The park
lies on the Lee highway now being construct
ed, and is only SO miles from the city of
Washington. 1t will thus be within easy
reach Of tourists.
A war museum will be established in a fire
proof replica of noted old southern home,
and when all the plans for the battlefield me-
mortal are carried out it will be one of the
most impressive in the country. The north
has long since honored its Civil war heroes
with fitting monuments. The south has Jagged
behind. 1t is not yet too late, however, to
make amends for our negligence. Surely, of
all places, Manassas should be held in reverent
memory by the southern people.
The officers of the corporation serve with
out pay. Their motives are purely patriotic
and disinterested. Donations are being So
licited. An opportunity is given to refute the
charge that the south has grown Indifferent to
its Civil war heros.

WOMAN is APPOINTED TO
UNITED STAES SENATE

Governor Hardwick of Georgia performed a
graceful act when he named Mrs. w. H.
FELTON, for United States cenator to fill the
short interim caused by Senator Watsons
death.
From this distance, however, 1t would have
made the governors action seem more UNI
selfish had he not announced his own can
didacy for the Senate in the same commune
cation. 1t lays him open to the charge of
making the appointment as political
maneuyer. But even so, it may have been
good politics.
While the short term to which Mrs. FELTON,
has been appointed is purely honorary, and she
will probably never take her seat in the SEN
ate because that body will not sit again before
Senator Watson's successor is elected, high
compliment has been paid southern womanhood
by Governor Hardwick's action.
Though Mrs. FELTON, is 81 years old, she is
said to be remarkably active and to maintain
the continuous interest in public affairs that
she has taken for many years. native of
Georgia, she managed the various campaigns
favored womans suffrage and has been u
moving spirit in women's public activities in
Georgia.
The honor of being the first woman to have
the title of United States senator is very
great.

Rubber and Civilization

Richard H. Tingley, in Our World for October
First Of all, to begin at today's beginning,
the rubber people make the process of getting
up and dressing comfortable for you each
morning. The plug in the bathtub is rubber
The curtain around the shower, the window
The tooth brushes, shaving brushes, hair
brushes, are set in rubber. The cork in the
ammonia bottle is rubber.
In the nursery your little daughter wears
rubber bib, and gets her breakfast from
rubber-nippled nursing bottle she plays with
rubber doll. She has her own little rubber
tub, big rubber apron is used in bathing her.
After all, it's the flivvers that make the
rubber business. About three-quarters of all
the crude rubber goes into the automobile.
However, even though the flivvers do make the
rubber business, the two are so interdependent
that it would be just as true the other way
round. We won't have twice as many motor
cars till we double the acreage of rubber. The
rubber men made Detroit. If we hadn't gone
out and got the rubber for them-made 1t
grow where it never grew before-Detroit
wouldn't be on the map.
The canopy is rubberzed, there's rubber on
the running board, rubber insulation on the
wiring. And most important of all, the tires.
In the four tires and the spare one on behind
here are about 40 pounds of rubber. 1t takes
90 full grown rubber trees full year to pro-
duce that much crude rubber.
Before 1908 half the worlds supply of crude
rubber--all the best of t--came from the
Amazon, where para rubber trees grow wild.
In those days we used about 65, 900 tons. Now,
although we could use a lot more, we are actu-
ally getting about 100000 tons. And 9-10
of it comes from artificial cultivated planta-
tions in the Dutch and British East Indies
Perhaps you sometimes idly wonder how
rubber is made. But you never really see the
picture. The thousands and thousands of
native laborers, working in the temperature
of Turkish bath. The Observation-Disclosures
and agricultural experts-studying rubber,
finding out what kind of plants give the most
and the best juice with the least labor. The
chaps from our universities, who sit out there
in the jungle, neglecting their own fevers to
study the diseases Of rubber. bitten raw by
mosquitoes while they boil poison in test tubes
to kill the bugs that attack the plants-all this
for the comfort Of those who accept it as
matter of course.

"sELEcTIvE OBEDIENCE"

From the Selma Times-Journal.
Birmingham is girding herself up to bring
about the enforcement of call laws" 1t is
praiseworthy aspiration but the enforcement
of "all laws" bespeaks a beatific condition
rarely found in this world of strife with
erty gone mad.
Instead of such halcyon state of affairs we
have a condition that might be described as
'selective obedience" Many citizens select
the laws they will obey and ignore or forget
the rest. The laws that are habitually flouted
take wide range and are not catalogued
solely in our prohibition statutes. Our game
laws, our automobile laws and many city and
county ordinances and regulations might be
cited as specific examples of frequent and gen
eral violation. The expression is often heard,
fits the case. Our law-making bodies have
contributed to the universal laxity of law
enforcement by enacting foolish, unnecessary
and impossible statutes.
buC the pracIice OF selectlVe opedlence
means in its last stages nothing less than the
utter breakdown of all protection to life and
property. Even the burglar conforms to such
laws do not hamper him.
The old theory that the way to get rid Of
bad law is to enforce it, is unassailably
sound The great bulwark of laws that has
been erected for the protection of society
and for the efficient conduct of the social
organization must be respected and enforced,
if the state is to permanently endure The
old we'll known sign in railway cars which
reads: Gentlemen willard others must
keep their feet off the Seats" must be revived
and rewritten to read: Gentlemen willard
others must-obey all laws"

EFFECT OF RADIO ON THE
MIND OF A BOY

q A group of highly educated men-a judge,
4 lawyer and doctor-were smoking an after
dinner cigar at the Birmingham home of one
of them. They had been paying little atten-
zion to the young son of the household and
two of his pals from the neighborhood.
But soon the three worldwide men heard
snatches of conversation from an adjoining
room and caught such prases as Oscillation
good Every little static "two-step regenera-
tive" "vario-coupler without the variometer,"
ssgrid circuit" variable condenser" grid
leak" And those fathers knew that their sons
were talking in language foreign to Them
One of the maryels of radio to those who
have kept in touch with its development Is the
fascination it has for the American boy and
the ease with which he craps its intrcacies.
But not the least significant thing about radio
is the community of interest that it arouses
among growing generation. Whether it be
from pride of unselfishness matters little, but
no genuine boy wants to keep to himself the
things he learns about radio. He takes de-
light in imparting his knowledge to other boys
and it is this which has done so much to
spread radio information rapidly. No boy
ever has as much fun out of his radio set as
when he has a number of other boys present
to share in its thrills.
From the standpoint of the father who
takes pride in the development of his sons
mind and character, he cannot but admire an
interest which opens such field for useful
knowledge. He knows that the best way to
keep boy out of mischief is to keep him busy.
And the boy who has saved his pennies and
dimes to have radio set of his very own is
about the busiest creature to be found IN
America today Perhaps his interest is ephe-
neral, but he is stirring latent brain cells to
an activity which will help him solve the ma
tions future problems
