BY BILLY EVANS

RE majority of the major league players on
a home-run jag?
Has the era Of swat which has enveloped
the national pastime destroyed much Of the
science of the game?
Is the orgy of home runs now going on in
the major leagues due to greater batting skill
on the part of the players or lively ball.
Is the increased hitting due TO an inferior

the National leagues?

PRIDE IN SCHOOLS
Dominant Feeling Among Settlers
in Western Canada.
Despite "Newness" Of the Country,
There Are No Better Institutions
Of Learning Anywhere.

There is frequently hesitation ex-
almost made up to move to the agri.
cultural lands OF Western Canada,
that the children will not enjoy the
school privileges afforded them in
their present surroundings. This is u
reasonable doubt. The country Is new.
1t Is within the memory of many who
will read this that the bison r0amed
these prairies ut will. that there were
no railroads, no settlements beyond
that of s0me of the Hudson Bay posts,
few courageous rnnchmen and In
dians. 1t was II country of unknown
quantity. 1t Is different today. and 1t
has been made different in that short
time because of the latent stores of
wealth hidden in the land, which has
been made to yield bountifully through
the daring enterprise Of the pioneer
and the railways TINT had the courage
to extend their enterprising lines of
steel throughout Its length and great
portion of Its breadth. Villages and
hamlets have developed into towns and
towns into cities, supported and main.
tanned by those who. coming practl-
cally from all parts of the world. and
many. yes. thousands, from the neigh
boring states to the south. have taken
up land that cost them but trlne us
compared with what they were able
to dispose of the holdings upon which
they had been living for years. These
people brought with them method
in life that electrified and changed the
entire Canadian West. Today things
nre different, and trip to Western
Canada will show n country new but
old. New because changes have been
wrought that give 10 the newcomer
the opportunity to become part of n
growing and developing country-it
gives the chance to say what shall be
made of it; old because there Inns been
brought into Its life those things
that have proven useful in older coun-
tries. while there hns been eliminated

their efforts instead on less drastic
measures to meet the industrial emer-
gcncy. With the return t" Washing

ference with come of his principal nd
visers on board the yacht MayflOwer,
ii became apparent thut no steps to-
ward government operation was to lr.-
come IL part OF the present ndininlsIru-
tion program.
Not only WINS II revealed that tile
President himself was not disposed
definitely to ask for congressional uu-
thOrity to take over the properties In
vOived in the strike situation, hut II
WIS made known also that an infiucn-
tIul group OF leaders in the Senate nnd
House had taken IL position which
would make passage OF the authorizing
legislation extremely difficult.
Meantime, committees in bot h
branches Of Congress reported out, for
passage luter, bills recommended by
the administration to strengthen Its
hand In controlling coal distribution
by creuting u federal distributing
agency and by giving to the Interstate
Commerce Commission broader powers
over priority OF shipments. In she
House. the bill was taken up under IL
rule providing for six hours OF debate.
In the Senate, committee action was
taken after only IA short discussion
and with members reserving the right
to debate the measure ut length on the
Scnnte floor. The House committee
did not vote Its approval until 1t Ind
heard arguments for the measure by
Secretary Hoover and Interstate Com
merce Commissioner AltchisOn and
some sharp criticism Of Its price-flxing
p0tentialities from representatives OF
both employers and labor in the In
dustry.
Notwithstanding the opposition indi.
Gated, President Harding was In.
formed by Republican Leader Mondell
that the distribution measure would be
brought into the House and passed
soon.
No such quick action was in pros
pect In the Senate. where the legisla.
tive situation was more complicated.
but the leaders predicted that there
would be favorable action without
much delay. Several cabinet members,
senators and other officials, including
Secretary Hoover, Attorney General
Duugherty und Chairman Cummins OF
the Senate Interstate commerce com
mittee. accompanied President Hard
Ing on the Mayflower trip and are UNI
derstOOd to have taken part in pro.
lOnged rOund-tnble discussion Of ad-
mlnlstrative policies. 1t was said that
opinion among the chief executives
advisers was divided on the subject
of government operation. but that in
the end Mr.. Harding indicated he
would exert no pressure for Legislation
authorizing such II step.
As viewed by the May1ower con-
ferees, the cOul strike situation. both
anthracite and bituminous, appeared
In II way to solve itself and insure In
creased production in the very near
future. leaving the problem Of moving
the product to the consumer MS the
