CHINA NOT A MUSEUM

China, like Italy and Greece, Is frequently mlsJudged by. persons of culture because they regard lt as a museum, writes Bertrand Russell In the Dial. The preservation of ancient beauty Is very important, but no yigor, ous forward looking man Is content to be a mere curator. The result Is that the best people In China tend to be PhiiStlnes as regards all that Is pleasing to the European tourist. The European in China. quite a part from Interested motives. Is apt to be ultra conservative and non.European. But this Is the attitude of an outsider, Of one who regards China as country to be looked at rather than lived in
 as 8 country with a past rather than a future. Patriotic Chinese naturally d. not view their country In this way tl.ey wish their country 10 acquire what Is best in the modern world, no' merely to remain an interesting sur

ALASKA BUREAUS WILL BE
 MOVED TO CENTER IN JUNEAU

Beginning with the first of the next fiscal year-July I-federal bureaus whose activities are cen tered in Alaska heretofore making their headquarters in Seattle or oth- CT cities on the Pacific Coast, will be transferred to Alaska, with Ju- neau as headquarters, according to information received here from re- liable sources. This move is in ac- cord with a policy of the present ad- miuistration which was announced some time ago.
 The main bureau to make such a transfer will be the Bureau of Edu- cation, under Supt. W. T. Lopp, whose organization headquarters are now maintained in Seattle. MT Lopp, 1t is stated. is in favor of the move and believes it will work out advantageOusly in the prosecution of the bureaus work in the territory.
 Efforts to have a separate dis trict of the bureau of public roads apparently have been unavailing AL aska. 1t is probable, will continue under the Portland district as here tofore. However. in order to meet situations as they arise, C, W. Cheatham, senior highway engineer of the bureau and in charge of it's Alaska activities, has been given greatly enlarged powers and now has rating virtually equivalent to that of an assistant district engineer Juneau Empire.

Every man who owns a wood IO' owes the country as well as himself an obligation to look over his trees when winter opens. Those showing signs Of decay should be marked for treatment. Dead branches should be removed and other first aid should be administered which in the days when timber was plenty would not have been considered worth while. The amount of hrewood that may be oo, tafncd from dead and fallen trees on even q small lot is astonishing. Hours which might otherwise be wasted VIII be well spent on 1t with aX and saw says the New York Herald. Early winter Is an excellent time to plan planting of young trees to take the places of those that have gone, as well as for selecting growth to be eliminated where lt is too thick to per nit healthy development

Issues Signed Statement Say
ing He Was Entirely at Fault
in Leaving Jack Dunn.

NEWARK, N. J., Aug. Jack
Bentley is back with the Orioles. lie
and Manager Dunn patched up their
differences, or, rather, a misunder,
standing, today. and Bentley will be
back at first base. Bentley issued a
signed statement. in which he offers
an apology for his recent action in
jumping the club.
Here is the signed statement:
"I wish to state that I was entirely
at fault in leaving the. Baltimore
team. l acted too hastily in leaving
without seeing Jack Dunn person
ally. Had / talked with him there
would have been no unpleasantness." "
(Signed JACK BENTLEY"
Bentley arrived in New York this
morning with John Little. a Balti.
more fan and a friend OF Bentley.
Immediately he and Dunn got to-
gether. and the Oriole first-sacker
and pitcher was shown his mistake.
1t was pointed out to Bentley that
there was nothing In the criticism
Of his playing that the Oriole leaders
should retract. Once satisfied of
this fact, Bentley said he was sorry
and saw where he had made his mis-
take. He said he was willing to go
back to the game, but asked that he
be permitted to lay off until today.
This was granted him.
There was no argument when
Dunn and Bentley met. The matter
was settled in a quick and business
like manner. No i'll feeling lies be-
tween them, and there probably
would have been no public apology
except for the fact that Manager
Dunn didn't want to have the Balti-
more fans feel that he had not
treated Bentley in a just manner.
The whole matter was sifted from
top to bottom, the salary question
criticism and all. AS a result all
hands are better satisfied.

Applies in Football.

THE same qualities making for
color in baseball apply in
football and boxing as well.
Charlie DAILY was perhaps the
most colorful football player we
ever saw, though Foster Rock
well, the old Yale quarterback,
comes close to his standing in our
memory.
When DAILY was quartert ack
and captain of the Harvard foot
ball eleven he seemed veritable
Napoleon charging at the head of
his Old Guard.
Foster Rockwell, gathering in
a punt and galloping across the
field, was Julius Caesar rushing
to the aid Of the hard-pro ssed
Titus Labienus, known to every
schoolboy.
Vince Stevenson, Pennsyl-
vania's greatest quarterback, is
said to have had similar qualities.
We never saw Vince perform,
but from all accounts he was a
marvel.
The Washington times., 1922-08-07

Babe Ruth has a certain amount
Of color, but he is far behind the
immortal Tyrus. When smash-
ing home runs, the Behemoth of
baseball is attractive. When fail
ing to get his hits, he acts like
a peevish boy.
George, Sisler, the best first
baseman in the game today. is
absolutely colorless. He makes
the most difficult plays perfectly,
but always without the dash that
makes for color on the field.
Rogers Hornsby, the National
Leagues champion batsman and
peerless infielder. is said to be
about as colorful as Sisler. We
have never seen. Hornsby, but
writer's in his circuit are agreed
that he lacks the fire of the
Georgia Peach. 49,.
"King" Kelly, it is generally
admitted, was the most colorful
player in the history of profess
sional baseball. He was not the
heaviest hitter Of his time, nor
was he the greatest catcher or
outfielder-he played both posi-
tions-but he more than made up
for that by his dash, his daring,
and his wonderfully quick brain.

Football Lends Itself,

TN some strange manner, prob
ably because of its personal
= contact, football lends itself
to bringing out the color in
athletics, Here and there one
may watch such a perfect ma
chine as last years Penn State
eleven, and yet, even from such
background, a Glenn Killinger
will stand out prominently for
his color.
The most colorful boxer we
ever saw was Stanley Ketchel,
middleweight champion. He was
variously termed the Michigan
Lion" and the Michigan As
sassin." He lived up to both
titles.
No boxer In the history Of the
ring ever impressed the onlooker
more with his courage than STAN
ley Ketchel. There must have
been hundreds gifted with equal
courage, but Ketchel had a way
Of stamping his courage UPON
every movement inside the ring.
That he possessed the real
thing was evidenced by his death.
