 Dick Howell, editor of The Sunday Herald, is one of the famous sport ing writers of America. He knows all about sports, and is especially we'll informed in the history of the manly art, past and present. Off time, MT. Howell amuses himself with a garden, in which he raises roses and dahlias; many kinds, vari- ous in sweet, and colorful beauty.
 One man may know more things than one, which encourages this writer to return again to the theme of courtesy at baseball games, al though he comes into conflict with Dick Howell, the expert.
 In his paper, yesterday, Dick ex- presses the opinion that it is wrong to kill the umpire actually, but right to do 1t emotionally. If it is done emotiona1Iy, it will sometimes be done actually.
 Those views in favor of a rational attitude toward the umpire were dictated by the news, that in a Mis- souri community, a young man emo tionaI1y inclined to kill the umpire, did actually kill him. with 8. baseball bat and is now locked up charged with murder, and sure of a long term in prison.
 As man thinks so is he. The sentiment is at the basis of all inhi- bition of error. Is baseball gaining, or failing a little? Do women attend the game, as freely as they might? In this connection note the improve ment in the boxing contest. where those who had bet their money on one man were formerly free to make victory difficult for the other man.
 At baseball games there may be shouting, applause, stimulation of players There should not be abuse, insulting language, threat against the umpire, nor things of this sort. They hurt the game. They hurt the man who sees the game. Be very sure that of those who think they would | like. to kill somebody in a baseball game. one will occasionally do 1t.
 Miss Marie Norton, 19, will not change her arrangement with Corne- Illus Vanderbilt Whitney, merely be- cause a dancing girl, has produced her young son, and claimed Whitney for the father. The transaction does not promise. well for happy future Men do repent, and change their ways But old habits are hard to ! change. Wild oats which have been sown have a way of coming up again.
 Protestant Episcopal church | changes the wedding service. Illus band and wife are to make identical pledges. The wife used to agree to | obev and serve. The change is in | the direction of equality and jus tice. It goes with the vote and the new order of the world.
 Another change is made, even more | indicative of changing theological outlook The service used to say that a marriage made outside of the rules of the church was not lawful. The new service says that the mar- riage is not according to the laws of the church. The meaning of the change is, that the church subordi respect to marriage.
 Something's are beyond the law. No state has devised a. sure plan for protecting the aged man of wealth from the younger woman who has designs on bis property. The suit against Mrs. Cora Anes charges that. the plaintiff was unable to manage his own affairs, and that the de- fendant took advantage of his condi- tion. persuading him to transfer property to her. He may have been competent enough in other situations. The court will decide how incompe- tent he was in this one.
 Before taking the ride in the air plane, read your insurance policy. If airships are barred, better stay on the ground. Some companies sell policies which give right to air travel. All companies will do 1t before many years, for air travel will be standard travel and about as safe as other kinds.
