CAPITAL KEYNOTES
BY PAUL y. COLLINS

"Golf? Golf? You spend a day
chasing a golf ball around a lot. At
night you've got your golf ball, You
.gheelbarrow and hoe and spread
manure ali day you've got the exer-
else aid you've done something. "
So says Mr.. Samuel M. vauclain,
president Of the Baldwin Locomotive
Company. But Is het right? He
knows a lot about locomotives. but
is he an authority on spreading fer
tilizer? What Farmer would give him
a Job when they saw him trying to
spread manure With a hoe? Why not
use a modern manure spreader, which
will spread the fertility better and
over more acreage in an hour than
Why, any farmer would laugh. at the
multimtllionaire who did not at least
use a fork In place OF a hoe.
But there is a germ of an idea
In what Mr. Vauclain meant, which
tells us that we waste energy which
should be put to better use. Some
years ago business men were much
concerned over the teachings Of
efficiency experts" who demonstrated
ilos many false moves might be elmi-
mated and more accomplished with less
work. What has become Of the energy
savers?
We pay a premium of applause
when a nimbIe-footed athlete climbs
the wall of skyscraper-until he
falls to his death. What good would
his climb do even II he did not fall
hardy athletes?
There is great rivalry between
dancing girls who want to make a
record OF endurance. They dance
fifty hours or more and wear out sew
eral pairs of shoes and several male
partners; but when they finish. what
Of 1t? Have they demonstrated their
special capability to scrub as we'll as
scrape floors?
A business man in France asked
the writer why we did not have our
American women work in the fields
as they do in France. for ut makes
them strong and healthy" Instead.
we dance ours. It might make them
value. SO that must be it's object. 1t
is even more senseless. from a utili-
tartan standpoint, than Mr.. Vauciain
finds golf to be. Golf incites skill;
endurance dancing is only brute
power" microscopic rotifer can
whiri faster and keep it up longer.
Of course, there are other stand
points from which to Judge sports
There is nothing highly utilitarian
shown when man hits a little globe
with a stick of wood and it sails 200
or 900 feet up in the air and then
some other man catches 1t when It
falls. The relativity Of It's rise and
fall never proves the Einsteih theory,
and the man who lets 1t sting his
hands as he catches it could buy a
new ball just as good for half a dol
lar-or could when a dollar was
worth 100 cents.
So the utilitarian measure is faulty
If applied to sports. and there is a
as we'll as for locomotives and ma
nufe and hoes. But there is no place
In sane life for mere foolhardy stunts
of peril nor for useless strains of
endurance. There is nothing but
stupid vanity behind both.

Also Are Equipped With
Pocket Adding Machines
to Correctly Make Change
or Add Cost Of Purchases.

Berlin, Oct. 27.-Almost every other
shop window has an elaborate display
of pocket adding machines. The effect
is as ludicrous as vaudeville joke
for the first few minutes, as one walks
down the Friedrichstrasse. SO is the
spectacle of people trotting along with
enormous hand satchels. in lieu of
pocket books. One thinks of all the
cheap cracks one has heard about Ger
man marks. Suddenly one realizes
that it is all true, that it is not merely
a joke. One begins TO reflect that all
this is very real and very tragic to 4
great many millions of people.
Think of carrying n satchel to
transport your money for an ordi-
nary mornings shopping-just little
incidentals like car fare and n pair 81
stockings and a cup Of tea And think
OF carrying an adding machine in your
pocket. These are things that just
ordinary people do every day in Ber-
lin now.
Perhaps the easiest way TO realize
what is means is to try to imagine
that your lunch. which costs you TJ
cents today, should suddenly, for some
inscrutable reason, cost - tomorrow.
$40 next week and 800 before the
month is out. Imagine next that the
government should come along the fol-
lowing month and redeem your $500
Liberty bond and that with that $500
bill which you received in exchange
you could not post letter. And then
suppose that a few months later you

has at last come to realize that the

Fort Halifax Boys and Girls Club
EnSer+sin

The members of the Winslow Fort
Halifax Boys and Girls club pre-
sented a siX-act play at the Winslow
Grange hall Friday evening, Oct. 26.
This play, which was splendidly pre-
scented, followed an exhibition of the
work of the boys and girls club.
Booths. containing cooking, vese-
tables and other products of the work
OF this club, were arranged around
the large hall and were wei patron
lied before and after the play. The
crowd was large, the estimation be-
ing about $50 and possibly 200 peo-
pie. This large attendance was very
gratifying to the older people who
have had charge off the club work
and showed that the people must
nave an interest in the work.
Inc opening number before the
hrst act of the play, was a piano solo
by a local party. followed by vocal
solo by Annie st. Thomas, which was
very fine indeed.
Between the second and third acts,
another vocal solo was enjoyed and
between other acts a fancy dancing
| eXhlbltlon was given in two solo
dances, one by Lenore LeClair and
another by Glenys Rainey. A piano
solo by Dorothy Chamberlain was en-
Joyed and this number closed the
program. Following the play and en-
tertainment, dancing and Halloween
games were enjoyed. under the able
