Hayden deals with fine impartialitv.

joycd in the business and financial
community IS strihingly evidenced BY
his appointment, along with ex-Presi-

Court Justice Morgan J. OBrien, 70 as-

The name Of Westinghouse is insep-
arabiy associated with the airbraae;
and his discoveries in tho field o.
alternating current are also well
known. He was an indefatigablc in
vcntor, taking OF. n large number OF
patents and exploring many depart

THAT Chckhov was real man,

proved in these "reminiscences
from the pens Of Gorky. Kuprin and
bunln. Gorky's memoir has the same
vivldness wc found in his remarkable
"reminiscences Of Tolstoy" How much
lie gets into this passage, "All his life
Chckhov lived on his own soul; he was
always himself, inwardly free. and he
never troubled about what some people
expected and others s-coarscr people
demanded Of Anton Chckhov. He did
not Ike conversation about deep qucs-
tons, conversations pth which our
dear Russians SO assiduously comfort

Florence I. Barclay is certainly re-
mcmbcred with regret by the mary
readers Of Tho Rosary and her
other popular novels. In the present
intimate record Of ne- lifc, rr!ttcn by
one of her daughters, she is shown a..
q simple, kindly woman, profoundly re-
ligous in spirit, VINO loved all her
fellow beings and attempted to trans
late this amiabIe emotion into her
novels. Mrs. Barclay once made The
following interesting profession of lit
crary faith:
my aim is: Never to write line
which could introduce the taint Of sin.
or the shadow Of shame, into any
home. Never to draw a character
which should tend to lower the ideals
Of those VINO, by means Of my pen.
make intimate acquaintance with q man
or woman Of my creating.
"Too many bad, mean. morbid char.
acters already, alas, walk this earth

beautiful homes where such people ;n
actual life would never for orc mo-
ment, be tolcrated'' -
A captious critic might suggest that
an authors literary horizon would be
severely limited by such self-imposed
restrictions; but me sales OF Mrs. Bar
clay's books indicate that they gave
pleasure to large numbers OF people
And Mrs. Barclays biog-apher assure.

~ GORGE WESTINGHOUSE was
q pre- -eminently man who lived
" in his work. He had no liking
for publicity He was not fond
Of specchmaki1g. He left few writings.
His personality Was expressed and alb
sorbcd in pushing steadily forward in
the realm Of mechanical science and or
ganizing companies to promote the use
Of his inventions.
Mr.. Prout has selected the only prac-
ticablc method for dealing with such a
career as that Of estinghousc. lie has
followed topical rather than chronology
ical order in his biography Each phase
Of Westinghouse hfcwork is treated
as separate entity. IN this way one
gets a clear idea Of his achievements in
separate branches Of engineering sci
ci.ce, Of his financial methods and c.
pcriencea and Of his personality.
Westinghouse was dsintcres.cd
lover Of achievement for its own sake
The ambition to make a great fortune
Vas, in him. altogether submerged in
the higher ambition OF invention and
creation. He was far more interested
in production than in finance. In fact
one feels that the chief tragedy Of his
career is to be found in the circum-
stance that he was compelled TO devote
so much time and energy to working
out the financial details Of his enter
prises. The ordinary manufacturer is
relieved Of many of his financial wor-
l'ies by the banks. But Westinghouse
was unwilling TO surrender any share
in the control Of his enterprises to
bankers. Rather than give up any part
Of his executive functions. he preferred
to assume the troubles and risks Of do
ing his own financing
The personality Of this great engi-
ncec. as described b" those who knew
him, was big, generous and expansive.
His relations with his employees we're
benevolently pate-nalistic. He main
tanned the principle Of the open shop in
his factories, but his open shop did not
exclude union members. He took the
lead in such industrial reforms as pen
s;ons for Old age and disability, and he

Colgan, who was on the mound for the Berkshires, pitched excellent ball for the first five innings, yielding but two hits and striking out eight Red Hose swa tsmiths. But in the following session Colgan began to show signs of weakening and his opponents wal loped his offerings for the remaining innings, scoring one run in the sixth, one in the seventh and another in the eighth.
 Cage, the Red sox receiver, looks like one of the best prospects that the writer has come across this season. He is very fast and has a wonderful throwing arm. In yesterdays setto he made several perfect pegs at sec ond base, throwing his man out. Cage can smack the oP horsehide, too. He has the ear marks of a future big leaguer.
