Once Upon n Time.

Once Upon Time.
Far back in another age called Once Upon
a Time.
When I dull enough to dream Of man
hod's coming prime.
/ used to think how very long the days Of
summer were,
How long before the shadows came to bring
the twilight blur.
But now almost before l feel the summer s
welcome glow
fnd that am ankle deep once more in
winters snow.
Far back in another year called Once Upon
Time,
When all the wealth a kid could ask was
some big oak to climb,
used to think how wide and deep the little
rivers were
How very tail the little hills that held the
waving FIR.
But now l know how small they are. the
little hills and streams,
And find that something's lost forever
from my dreams.
l hear the city rushing by in place of old
refrains.
Gaunt faces haunt me in the streets in
place of oIdtime lanes,
And there Is little time for rest amid the
endless fray.
Where once a kid. all summer long, could
dream his time away.
And am many. many leagues from Once
Upon a Time.
Where | was DUH enough to dream Of man
hoods coming prime.

The Six Greatest.
H. G.. Wells has named the six
greatest men of all history. Who
are the six greatest men in the
history of all sport?
Some names to wrestle with are
John l.. Sullivan, Jim Thorpe, John
Ball. Norman Brookes. Ty Cobb,
Charlie Paddock. Frank Gotch.
Harry Vardon. Many great stars
will have to be left out. But Mr..
Wells left out Shakespeare, Alex
ander, Caesar and Napoleon.
Thorpe is the great ail-around
star: Sullivan the most historic of
all boxers: Ty Cobb the greatest
ball player; Norman Brookes the
greatest tennis star over a long
period; John Ball the outstanding
amateur golfer. with Harry Var
don the outstanding professional.
There Is still room left for a lot
Of argument.
shifting Form.
From all games on the long list
the biggest shift in form happens
to the ball player and the golfer.
In boxing. tennis, etc, you can
usually figure the winner in ad-
vance.
But in golf a star may be 81 for
one round and SO for the next.
And in baseball one club may
lead the league for one week, and
then drop eight straight games, as
the Yankees did.
In baseball the lowly tsil-ender

Plan a New and
5. Greater COney Island

New York, Dec 4.-Coney Island
aims to surpass Atlantic City as 4
great ai!-year-around resort.
The great boardwalk which has been
under construction fer over a year
will be completed early in 1923. The
concrete work work has been practi-
cally completed
With the opening of the boardwalk
through the entire length, millions
will probably be expended for new
buildings and the resort Will be vast
ly altered.
Coney suffered under prohibition
probably more severely than almost
any other resort along the coast This
was due to the fact that a large part
Of its patronage was drawn from the
clement that demanded beer and wine
for its merrymaking. Knowing that,
enforcement officials paid special at
tention to the resort ant even hippock-
cts lacked protection.
The aim of the organizations now
taking up the banner of a greater
Coney Island plan developments which
will attract a higher class of patrons
and say they are willing to spend the
money to build a more substantial and
resort.

Big Movement To
Increase Roll Call
tBy United Ptess.l

New York, Dec. 4.-The National
Council of the Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca has entered upon campaign which
aims to increase the scout member
ship by 100000, or % per cent of the
existing membership.
AS a part Of the plan, it has been
decided to open four big scout centers
for the training of scout executives.
The scout executive is the salaried
official in big city or community who
make scouting his business and direct
the volunteer leadership of the move
ment. For many years there have
been available in many parts OF the
country various training courses for
scoutmasters. The scoutmaster is the
volunteer leader who takes charge Of
unit called a troop.
Mortimer l.. Schiff, who has served
as vice-president of the National Coun-
Gil has recently been appointed inter
national commissioner of the organiza-
ton. He will devote his time to the
international affairs of the Boy Scouts.
Since the beginning of scouting III
this country over twelve years ago
total of Att eagle badges, the highest
rank in scouting have been issued. Of
this number 1887 have been allotted
since the first Of the present year.
The remarkable renewal In scout m
terest has been largely credited to the
influence of Schiif, one of the big busl-
ness men Of New York.

FIGHT OVER DRAFT
OBy United Prcss.1


New York, Dec. 4.-Once again the
draft will be one Of the big issues
when the major league owners and
the minor league magnates get to-
gether in their annual winter sessions.
Naturally the major league owners
want to get the pick of the minors for
$500 at the close Of each season and
obviously the little fellows want to get
$175, 900 Of their product is high class.
That is the whole argument in the
draft.
The Pacific Coast League, the Amer
lean Association and the Information
al League have been able to defeat all
the moves made by the majors TO
force them to agre to a modifid form Of
the draft.
As far as the Pacific Coast League
is concerned, it already has voted
against any restoration Of the draft.
In the past two years, the Coast mag
mates have been paid close to 4 half
million dollars for players and they
want to continue having an open mar
lset for their players.
The American Association is not so
vitality interested, excepting in the
moral effect that it might have in
holding Up the prestige of the minors.
The association hasn't been developing
players for several years.
Since Jack Dunn has agreed t oand
/ has started breaking up his powerful
Baltimore Club, the International
/ League NAV not desert the ranks of
The anti-drafts, as was threatened
last summer.
Peeved because Of the slump in bus
mess caused by Baltimore's annual
feat of running away with the pen
nant, the league met in special SEES
sion and warned Dunn If he did
break up his team, they would vote &c
restore the draft.
Baltimore has sold Bentley TO the
Giants bat the other stars are still IL
the fold and if Dunn doesn't show that
he has plans for disposing of them, thc
International probably will pull awey
from the Big Three"
Unless Commissioner Lands has de
lveloped plans for an amicable settle
ment Of the controversy, a major-min
or war may develop at the meetings.

Woman Doctor Lauds
Sex as Good Surgeons
INV United Prc~s.D

Chicago, Dec. Woman is a more
skillful user Of the surgeons knife
and scalpel than man, according to Dr..
Berthan Van Hoosen, head of the de-
nartment of obstetrics and gynecol-
ogy in the Frances Willard hospital
here.
"Woman's greater manual dexterity
gives her 4 potential superiority in
surgery" Dr.. Van Hoosen said.
That, Of course, means a better tech
rique and more careful work.
Even the greatest of men sur
geans prefer women assistants be-
cause Of their carefulness and better
technique in the operating room.
Too much carefulness and con-
scientiousness, however, is a handi-
cap to the woman surgeon. She is at
times slower than a man in opera
tons where speed is the all-important
factor"
In proclaiming woman's superior
ity in the field which has generally
been regarded as belonging by nat
ural endowment to man. DR.. Van
loosen spoke from years of expert
ence in the Frances Willard hospital
and in the Cook county hospital where
she is attending obstetrician.
There she has had the supervision
of ushering from $50 to $50 babies
into the world each month. She was
fer long time one of the storm
ccnters in the controversy that ragged
over the use Of twilight sleep" in
obstetrics, She employed the anas-
tECtic with marked success.
DR.. Van Hoosen has been granted
a leave Of absence to visit the orient.
She viii study Chinese surgical meth
DDS and then go to India to teach in
the Women's Christian Union Col
lego to aid the movement to advance
woman's education in medical schools.

Old Leaders In Fear 7 .,I,4
Of New Party Formation
CBy United Press)

Washington, Dec. 2.-Progressive
men and women from every state II
/ the union met here today to raganize
/ in support Of the newly formed pro,
gressive bloc in congress.
The anxious eyes Of political lead
ers Of the Republican and Democrat
ic parties were on today's conference
which was generally regarded as the
forerunner Of a third party, strong
enough TO dispute with the old parties
control of the government in 1924.
While the progressives who met to-
day disavowcd any intention of fore
dig a third party, the possibility
that out of the present effort such a
movement may grow was not lost up
on those assembled here.
But the primary object of today's
meeting was to be the formation Of
an organization that would go back
into the states and sound the voice OF
.progressiveism constantly; tell the
people what progressives in congress
were doing, and rally them to support
their representatives in the House anG
Senate.
Members of the progressive bloc in
congress, who met yesterday to per-
feet a definite organization, attended
today's session, over which Senator
LaFollette. chairman Of the bloc, pre-
sided. Scores of progressives not III
congress also were present, and many
of them expected to address the meet
ing.
II was suggested before the confer
ence assembled, that committees be ap-
pointed to consider various phases OF
progressive activity. Arrangements
must be made, it was stated, for ade-
ouate and fair publicity, SO that the
people may be kept informed concern
ing the work o fthe progressive bloc
in congress, and that the public mind
may be disabused of misleading I'M
pressions created by propaganda sent
out by enemies of the progressive
movement.
Today's meeting brought together
of various liberal and
progressive groups which for the past
three or four years have been operat-
ing more or less independently. These
included tn committee Of Forty-eight;
the Fermentation party; the Confer
ence for Progressive Political action
the Church League of Industrial De
mocracy; the National Consumers
League; the Committee on Social Serv-
ice. Northern Baptist convention; the
National Child Labor Committee; the
National Grange; the Farmers Ma
tional Council.
Heads of all the railroad brother
hoods and Of the unions represented IN
the Railway Employees department,
American Federation OF Labor also
were invited.
Many noted social workers, both
men and women. were present, as well
as Judges. lawyers, preachers, labor
leaders, editors. and men and women
whose only claim to fame is that they
have been identified with the move
ment 70 rthe liberalization and demor-
atization of government
