RIDDLE OF PSYCHOLOGY

A riddle of psychology is why so many young
men who know baseball rules, precedents and
market conditions from soup to nuts are num-
skulls in shops offices and stores where they earn
their living.
Intellectuals will celebrate Magma Charta day,
June Is. For one young man who tell you what
the Magma Charta was, there are thousands who
will sit up all night solving a baseball problem,
or who know more about baseball generally than
Henry knows about Fords.
Yet the Magma Charta, document granted by
King John Of England to the barons in 12l5, was
the basis of liberty in modern English-speaking
nations. Without the Magma Charta, most young
Americans might be toiling sas serfs instead of
sitting in the baseball grandstand.

READY?

Because there is good deal of coal on hand
many are boasting that the country is prepared
for the miners strike. It is good thing to be
prepared and it is gratifying to learn that we are
prepared for the strike. -., +.
But some people who persist in being dissatis-
fled even after they have been reassured, may
ask whether we are prepared for what comes after
the strike There is always an end to strike
Both miners and operators expect sometime to
end the strike.
A strike ends with settlement. One side or
the other is, as they say, defeated. Suppose the
miners are to be defeated; they will not admit
this until weeks and perhaps months have been
spent in ideness. Meanwhile the fine surplus OF
coal which now constitutes our preparedness, will
have been burned Nothing will replace it. The
lcniners are not working. There will be a regret
table dearth which the mine owners will acknowl-
jedge They will explain that a shortage Of coal
|necessitates higher price or at least no rellet
from the present high prices 1t is the law OF
supply and demand of course.
And suppose the operators are defeated y
They will then comply with the demands of the
miners, and Immediately afterwards, with tears
in their eyes, they will proceed to make new prices
for coal on the basis of the new COSTS And they
will have case that will stand in the courts for
is it not written that price regulation must not be
Iconfiscatory? The "defeated" operator will cal
culate his costs, including the concessions nc
makes to the victorious miners, add percentage
of profit and offer his coal to the dear public who
will have to buy or freeze.
We are prepared for the coal miners strike
Now may be good time to prepare for the result
of the strike 1t is as well known now as need be
for the purpse. The public must be prepared tt

LEARN LESSONS FROM BASEBALL

! The baseball season gets under way 1t has
been the national sport since the Knickerbocker
sClub of New York City started the worlds first
sorganized baseball club in 1845 tHE
! Six years before that, Abner Doubleday took
paper; quill pen, a ruler and an inventive brain,
tand mggped ,out> the %Aiamond" Abner certainly
Started Something He would have heart failure
sif he could come back and see big-league grand
stand audience in action. ., d,
{ You never can tell what you're starting. Some
of the things recently brought into existence will
play as big part in future American life as base
ball now. Wireless, for instance
A form of baseball was played thousands of
2years ago among the Greeks. Colonial young
:sters of George Washington's day played 'town
ball."
The Knickerbocker club, which originated
modern baseball in 1845, had it's first rival in The
New York Nine" .. ...
June 10, 1916, the two clubs met at Hoboken,
N. j., in the first real baseball contest Knicker-
bockers lost, % to l, though rules then in force
gave the decision to the first team scoring 21
runs. ... -.# 0-.
In that first match, it took only four innings to
win the game. batter was out if the ball were
caught on bounce. Pitcher, misleading of hurl-
ing, used straight-arm motion.
Only thing that hasn't changed is the fan! .
Fortunate, that we have for national sport
baseball which combines physical exercise with
exercise Of the important brain functions, mental
agility and quick decision.
Baseball is of incalculabe benefit to the nation
as stirrer-up Of the liver and soother of nerves
highly strung by congested civilization
Too bad that all the fans do not actually plav
the game themselves It is human nature how
ever, to prefer watching someone else perform.

CHINESE JOY

'merchants, enjoys queer entertainment at It's

Storm of noise, for Chinese stage carpenter

/ This will interest women: The actors, by Chi
nese custom, were all men, even in the feminine
sroles. woman hasn't political equality in China,
J but she is considered too good to be put on exh-
bition for money.
: An American after an hour or so of 22-hour
Chinese theatrical performance, would begin to
yell: "Jazz 'er up!. Give us some speed!. Put a
little pep in 'er"
J Not so, with the Chinese. Their most popular
plays are continued on from night to the next,
like a serial story, some lasting whole year.
i The nearest we have come to this is the serial
movie thriller.
The plot of year-long Chinese play shows the
audience every stage of a mans lfe war; an
economic movement or the career Of dragon-evil.
Interesting TO study the Chinese probably the
ioldest existing civilization. The. Chinese claim
their authentic history dates back at least $4,000
years. tsS# 4s8
Possibly, when our civilization becomes anci-
5ent as Chinas now is, we'll have the same view
point and philosophy. ' H. a.
From the 22-hour Chinese opera, we observe
that the Chinese takes things patiently as they
come and enjoys life with a slow natural serene
mess and calm. la ~, ; ' 0 s sss ss sss.
The Chinese7a are far behind US in many things.
sSomehow, though, they nearly all seem contented,
happy.
Unlike white men, they are not shattering their
nerves by trying to cram lifetime into a day.
That is the real lurking peril Of white civiliza-
ftion-the danger that nerves will become 50 ION

lapse into race-nsanity, of which the World War
