BASEBALL AS WINTER SPORT
Diamond Game Gaining in Strength
in Auatralia-Admirabl Suited
to Climate.

Baseball may in the near future
become Australians national winter
pastime, according to Hubert j. Mack
en- of Sydney, New South Wales, who
is visiting America to study the educa-
tiOnal, athletic and general social serv-
ice activities of the Knights of Co
IumbuS. He states that baseball was
the leading rival Of cricket before the
war. but lost its hold, as thousands Of
Australian ball players were incapaci-
tated or killed during the war. How
ever, the game is retaining its pOpu-
iarity, he asserts, as it is admirably
suited to the Australian winter
climate

popular than ten years ago, but
not as scientific. 1t is as Scien-

largely of the batter seeking the

The Rush to the Colleges

That New York University is pre-
pairing accommodations for G000 adj
ditional students is further evidence
that New York is to hold its place
as the worlds foremost college town.
To increase the enrolment from
$4,000 to 10000 shows how the new
endowment is bearing fruit.
The growth Of New York Uni
versity in the last ten years has
been amazing. II has now a larger
attendance than any other uni
versity, and owes its rank largely TO
its emphasis on practical educa-
tion," as distinguished from the So
called academic education" It's
many schools for workers have made
II possible for thousands Of students
TO receive training while working.
The growth has been chiefly in the
downtown divisions Of the uni
versity, where the vocational schools
are concentrated.
The end OF the rush to the colleges
is not yet in sight. Never have
young men and women focked 20
matriculate as since the war. II is
not only an indication Of a fec
spirit in the oncoming generation,
but furnishes interchangeable evil
dence that an increasing percentage
Of our people have SURPRISES with
which to support their children for
a longer period. Wealth difuses.
Professional fomenters Of discon-
tent continue TO be active, but they
collide with facts and suffer from
their abrasion.

Eliminating Oil Refuse

The President has authorized pre-
liminary negotiations for a meeting
TO determine the best means Of pre-
venting oil pollution Of harbors and
territorial waters. Delegates from
the principal maritime nations will
be invited TO this oil-upon-the-waters
conference to discuss the subject
The rapid increase in the number
Of oil burners has made the question
Of oil refuse Of international i'm
portance. Reports from Europe as
we'll as from different portions OF
our own coast all go TO show that
this refuse is injurious TO fish and
bird life and is not only disagree
able to human beings but IN some
cases is actually dangerous and has
been blamed FOR causing fires.
That no solution for the problem
exists is unlikely. As a matter Of
fact there is a certain similarity be-

The German Swamp

The further slump in the gold
price Of the German mark furnishes
further evidence Of what is the mat
ter with Germany.
Her troubles are not so much due
20 any reparation burden she IS
carrying, or is likely TO be asked
70 carry, as to fiat money. The
seeds of her disease are to be traced
not 10 Versailles and It's treaty
chamber, but TO Berlin and its
printing establishments.
One Of the largest German bust
ness concerns recently reported
that it has been compelled to re-
adjust wages eighteen times In one
year. Imagine what this means
when a management figures on the
cost Of goods for future delivery!
It is like trying to row a boat down
a Niagaral The wonder is not that
German industry is disorganized,
but that it has not come TO a dead
stop.
The German government lacks
the courage to stabilize German
currency, and the German people
apparently lack the intelligence TO
insist that It do so. Russia has
been wrecked by the application Of
communistic principles; Germany Is
similarly wrecking herself by fiat
ism. A primitive country can Stun
bic along with barter, but an in
dustrial country cannot-must have
money Of known value.
Germany can cure herself. But
so far she has shown no disposi-
tion to apply the remedy. Instead
Of draining her paper money swamp
she pumps more water into it.
What Germany needs above all
things is a huge bonfire and a new
currency whose value in relation to
gold is fixed.

Peace Builders

Wherever public men Of different
nations are gathered together to
discuss without rancor and without
special interests the problems Of a
distressed world the cause Of peace
is vastly assisted.
Such a gathering is the Institute
Of Politics at Williams College,
made possible by the public spirited
liberality Of Bernard Baruch.
Statesmen Of note who are play
ing or have played important parts
in international politics meet for a
month 10 talk TO one another and to
students Of world affairs Of ways
and means to bring men into a
closer community Of thought and
interests.
The institute is removed from the
influence Of any single nation. It's
speakers may talk freely Of their
ideas and opinions, and are given
an opportunity TO listen to the ideas
and opinions Of others.
Incidentally strong friendships
are formed, and upon individual
friendships across the frontiers de-
pend in the end the mutual under
standing and friendship Of nations.
President Garfield Of Williams
and Mr.. Baruch have done a nota-
bic work in making such an opin-
ion exchange possible.

He bides his time when plotting

Hes never in a hurry.

Quite true. The Congress Of the

with those powers not granted TO the
Federal government che Federal
Constitution as originally framed. But
by The terms OF the Constitution three
fourths Of the states could at amy time

And that was what was done by the
Eighteenth Amendment
That amendment was submitted by
Congress 20 the states IN effect. Con-
grcss said 20 the various states; VIII
