Third base Is going to be the big
problem for practically every Amer
League manager this year.
Ten years 6 the American
League was rich in third sackers.
The life of the big league star is
limited, however, and today finds
third base a debate BILE position on
most of the American League
teams.
Frank Chance must solve it for
his Boston Red Sox. No doubt
Chance is banking ON Norman Nc
MILAN, acquired from. the New York
Yankees to fill the bill.
Mcmillan is a likely looking
~youngster. Before New York Sc
cured him he went big with Roches-
ter in the International League. Nc
MILAN has much ability at the bat
and in the field. II assured that he
will be a regular it is certain to inn
prove his game. With the Yankees
he realized he was doomed fos
some time to play substitute roles.
Iris Speaker is banking on Lutzke
to replace the veteran Larry Gard
ner at third. The Cleveland recruit
starred in the American Association
last year and seems TO have q fine
chance to make good.
Gardner Still Capable
It might be added, however, thai
Larry Gardner is far from through
and that should anything upset
Speakers plans, the veteran will be
able to step right in and play a mos
acceptable game at third.
The st. Louis Browns look like
sure pennant c~ontenders, yet third
base is a real problem for Manager

Cooperation.

Co-operation is the order Of the day.
II is he way TO the Accomplishment OF
large results. and there is evidence on
many sides Of appreciation Of the fact.
Organizations having in general a
common purpose are getting together
with Il view Of working hdrmoniously
for the achievement Of their aims and
avoiding duplication of effort. One Of
the local manifestations of this spirit
is tie community chest plan Of raising
money for welfare work. Another
manifestation was the first annual
ioint dinner Of eight civic clubs. The
object Of each of these clubs is serv-
ice in some form to mankind, and by
a central organization. bringing the
clubs into close understanding with
each other, this service can be better
rendered The note Of cooperation
was sounded by speakers representing
the Rotary. Civitan. kiwanis. Cosmo-
politan. Lions, Newcomers. Optimist
and Thirteen clubs. Each of these or
carnations is a power in itself for the
good Of the community, but standing

backbone to resist efforts to force them
into such a fruitless performance.
Apparently the Ruhr affair is in that
condition where things must get worse
before it can be hoped they will get
better. Chancellor Cuno's address to
the reichstag yesterday indicated no
softening Of the German attitude. He
declared that Franco-Belgian occupa-
ton of the Ruhr had resolved itself
into dismal economic failure. and as
serted that Germany would not nego-
tiate to bring the occupation to an
end. The chancellor insisted that be-
fore there could be negotiations there
must be complete abandonment OF the
scheme Of occupation and full restora-
tion Of seized property, with indemnity
to Berlin. In other words, that a pre-
requisite to negotiations Is that Franco
shall acknowledge defeat and sue for
peace. AS continued German opposi-
ton only serves to stiffen French de-
termination to make occupation Of the
Ruhr effective, prospects for any early
settlement Of the controversy seem all
but hopeless. Yet 1t is into such
situation as this, where England fears
to tread, that some Americans would
have their government rush.

Old Albums.

There is to be a big show in New
York called the international photo
graphic arts and crafts exposition,
and ono OF the directors has adVer-
tised for the loan of some of those old
family Photographic albums OF yester-
day, or yeSteryear, or yestergenera-
ton There We're so many OF these
family photographic albums that some
of them must still be living, perhaps
in the garret. perhaps in the basement.
or perhaps in some dark closet. 1t IS
likely that only an old home. occupied
by old peopIe. can furnish such Il relic.
These albums were highly esteemed,
or dearly loved, in their time. but
they have fallen from favor. Perhaps
they dwell in the shadowy land OF old
books beside the autograph album in
which the misses friends-generally
their young man friends-wrote a
verse carefully carried in the memory
for such important requests as please
write something in my album" These
albums used to be brought forth for
they were entertaining: Also there
was little music box on black wal
nut marbIe-toppod table. 1t was a
sweet and wonderful thing that played
three or four tunes. II would he
wound up with a key and set going
when the family photograph and the
autograph albums had done their task
of entertaining. They had promoted
conversation, and perhaps they had
promoted courtship. But that was
long ago. It was in the time when il
was the custom to pin tidy on
the back Of each chair. May some of
the old family photograph albums
he brought to light for the photo

Bonar Law and the Ruhr.

Well meaning but inadequately in
formed Americans who keep up agita-
ton for intervention by this country
to settle the issues involved IN occupa-
tion of the Ruhr will do we'll to read
the speech delivered last night in the
British house of commons by Prime
Minister Bonar Law. In concluding
his statement Of reasons as to why
the British government cannot inject
itself into the Ruhr situation, he de-
clared that to him it seemed inevitable
that "to break the entente would mean
the possibility of enforcing England's
will on France by war"
Is there any American who would be
willing to go to the extent of enforcing
this country's will on France by war?
Yet it would not be at all difficult,
were the government to accept the ad-
vice being urged upon it, to get this
country in position where choice would
have to be made between ignominious
retreat and rupture of friendly rela-
tions with France. II Great Britain
whose stake in the game is much
greater than that of the United States,
cannot see a way to help the situation
by proffering mediation, it is fortunate
for America that the President and

How to Speed District Bills.

The failure of the teachers paw bill
Is the best possible demonstration of
the desirability of creating a Joint
committee in Congress to consider
legislative proposals affecting the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The House had before it for many
months a resolution. introduced by
Representative r. Walton Moore of
Virginia, that in the interests of
economy of time and efficiency Of ac-
ton, and for the best guardianship of
the National Capital, all District mat
ters should be referred to joint COM
mittee of the Senate and House. The
thought was that because of the
peculiar relation existing between
Congress and the National Capital,
Congress having direct and sole juris-
aiction over the federal city, the joint
committee system could well be tried
out on District legislation, and then. if
found satisfactory. could be extended
to include other groups of legislation
such as agriculture, finance, com.
merce and national defense.
The teachers pay bill, carrying
with it reorganization of the entire
school system, is of vital interest to
the future of the National Capital. A
notable demonstration in favor of it
was staged by the women Of Wash
