DEPENDENCE

GET at liberty the canary yow have
- fed and tended in exchange for its
song, and 1t soon starves. It has
never learned to help itself.
Dumb animals go through life dread
fully handicapped by the lack of rea-
soning brains. Yet wild animals,
thrown from birth on their own re-
sources develop a craft that some
times carries them to very old age.
A lap dog turned out to shift for
itself, would not last very long. Like
the canary, it has lived a life of de-
pendence on others. All the qualities
that might have enabled it to make
its way have withered for want of use
A magazine writer criticizes private
schools, with justice, because they do
not fit pupils for the struggle for ex-
istence. Removed from contact with
the kind Of people they will meet in
actual life, they are often helpless
when they are sent out on their own.
Young men and young women must
learn very early the necessity OF help
ing themselves.
Begin depending on some one else,
and you will always depend on some
one else. Begin depending on your
self and you will form habit that
with practice will insure success.

IVORY FROM SKINNED MILK
Substitute for This and Other Mate
rlals is Produced by Re-
cent Process.

Combining beauty with utility, ma
terial is being made from skinned
milk by a process recently brought to
the United States from England. AS
1t is non-inflammable, odorless. and
can be drilled, glued or dyed. 1t has
a multitude of uses as substitute for
ivory, ebony, amber, rortoiseshell, horn.
and other similar products. Besides.
1t may be used as an almost perfect
imitation of many natural products OF
great price, among them being Chinese
jade and lapis lazuli. A brilliant
polish Is easily obtained and 1t can
be bent, pressed, and, to some extent,
moulded, or machined. AS it is non
conductor Of electricity, it may be
used in making decorative radio and
lighting fixtures. Also 1t has been
found valuable for ships cabins, hand
rails, automobile fixtures, and in the
making of beads, buckles buttons,
jewelry, fancy ornaments. cigarette
holders. combs, brushes, carriage ham
dies, parts Of furniture, pencils and
penholders, organ stops, and piano
keys.

Perhaps 80 per cent Of the popula-
ton, even Of this enlightened country,
allow other people to do their think
ing for them.
Editors, preachers, school teachers
scatter broadcast ideas, most of them
SECONDHAND. Men and women, finding
thought wearisome, accept these ideas
and act on them.
Many Of these ideas are COED, At
course. But they are really Of Ettss
benefit unless they are weighed sad
tested before acceptance.
Learn to do your own work, an&
your own thinking. Get out Of this
cage of dependence. Form your OWE
opinions, and act on them.
If your early years are spent lean.
Ing on others, your later years will
probably be spent in the poor house.
The habit Of dependence is the hardest
OF all habits to break. 1t can never
be broken after you are forty.

Honukon1s Swift Growth.

Hongk Ong, when occupied by the
British in 1S41, was just barren is
land and the part of the peninsula
opposite, known as Kowloon, merely
sand and marshland. The inhabitants
were fishermen or pirates, or both.
Today Hongkong with its thriving city
Of Victoria, holds population of
about 1000 000 In 40 years the rev.
enue and expenditures of Hongkong
and it's suburbs have increased twen-
ty-fold. One of it's difficulties is the
housing question. Standardized houses
with from four to six rooms are be-
ing erected at a cost of $4,000 to So
500. Hongkong's harbor has been so
much improved that it now ranks as
one of the greatest ports in the world.

And the husky men build barns, dig

Bridge parties and five o'clock teas

They prefer neighborly confrater-
mites, the great outdoors, the buds
and blooms, the lovely scents of earth
and air, where their joy can gush out
without restraint
They are not human counterfeits.
They admit their frailties, but if you
will observe them closely, you will
discover that their redeeming quail
ties, which sweeten their cares, are
far in excess of their faults. For that
matter, if you turn to them in trouble
you will find their kindly deeds and
encouraging words, hand-in-hand.
Comfortably happy themselves, they
delight in giving happiness to others.
Their souls are awake to the growing
need of friendlier relation, a closer
alliance and a stronger bond of SYM
pathy among the various sons of men,
whose greater troubles come from not
being neighborly.
Even if we regard such concord as
no more than a sort of primitive
friendship, 1t has in it divine princi-
pies of excellence which neither querist
nor analyst can argue away.

MCCARTHY CUTS LOOSE
Coast League Head Centers Attack,
Not Mincing Words, on Lands.

San Francisco, Jan. 12.--The crash
of the first barrage in what was as
se=ted TO be first-class war between
the American and National baseball
leagues on the one hand and the minor
leagues of the country on the other was
echoing throughout spOrtdOm today
Tie gunfire was set off by W. II. Nc
Carthy, president Of the Pacific Coast
League. who in a statement approximate
ing five closely-typed pages, expressed
his opinion Of the proposal of the ma
jcrs to send players back TO the minors
subject TO recall and Of the action OF
Commissioner X. NJ. Lands, in ap'
proving that plan.
Mccarthy eliminated and Illuminated
and det0nated. Commissioner Lands
telephoninS from his residence in Chi
cago. TO interviewers, said he thought
the Pacific Coast man did it pretty
we'll" but declined absolutely to fire
any Salvos in return and said he would
not ever, launch counter attack.
Mccarthy said the commissioners ap
proval of the majors new contract
made the major-minOr agreement
whereof draft was abolished in respect
to certain leagues, "a scrap of paper.
he went on:
The minor leagues have been hum
Rugged, deludcl, deceived and cheated
by the major leagues, with the knowl
ed-r and consent Of the high commits
siOner. the new Moses who was to LEAD
baseball into the land of promise.
The man whose prOudest boast wa'
tn. he had fined the Standard Oh
Company S29.000,000 was not BIZ
enough nor courageous enough to tel
his Overfed employers that contrac
is binding upon both parties"
Mccarthy asserted that the vigorous
protests against the majors propose
had been entered by the four other min
or leagues which do not recognize tbt
draft and promised to bring the whole
matter before the meeting of the Pa
cific Coast League in Portland mex
Monday.

Third base must be, fortified il tho
St. Louis Browns are to be a pcnnant
contender in 1923. Bobby Quinn, who
runs the Browns for Phil Ball, and Lee
Foil, who does the managing, are well
aware Of that fact.
Frank Ellcrbc filled the position very
acccptably last season until forced to
retire because of an injury TO his knee
1t later developed that Ellerbe's trouble
was merely a return OF an injury sui.
fered playing football during his college
days.
For three months Ellerbe nursed the
knee back into condition. but in all
probability it will slow him up consid'
crably. The heads of the Browns ara

thai third base is the one position on
the team that is not up TO snuff.
The veteran Eddie Foster, who filled
in so brilliantly. says there isn't q
chance that he will try TO play the bag.
Foster insists his legs simply viii nor
stand up under the strain.
Rumor has it that the Browns are
dickering with the Los Angeles
team of the Pacific Coast League tor

had a better fielding average in the

BOLSTER BAYLOR FIVE
Bradshaw and Williamson Join Squad
and Things Look Brighter.

Waco, Tex, Jan. 1.-Two weeks Of
practice and the return of Bradshaw
and Williamson 10 the squad have made
the Baylor basket ball team look a
hundred per cent better than it did be-
fore the Bears Christmas holiday tour.
Day by day in. every way the Bruin
squad is improving. and by the time
they meet s. NJ. U. at Dallas next Mon
day and Tuesday nights, they will be
able to present well-rounded cage
five
Bradshaw and Williamson have prac-
tically made the Baylor quintet. With
these two players in the lineup, the
whole team looks different. They make
the Bears stronger on the Offense and
defense. Neither Bradshaw nor Will
hanson took the Christmas tour of
the South with the rest OF the team,
but both are rapidly rounding into form
that will make the Bruins a harder
team to handle than preseason dope
had indicated. With these players.
Coach Bridges has four letter men TO
work with.
Bradshaw, who formerly played a
guard, has been switched TO a forward.
and Williamson has been made into a
highly capable guard. Bradshaw is a
fast man and plays the court well. He
is a fair goal-shooter and a good pass
err. Williamson uses his weight and
speed to good advantage. He manages
to ring his share of the baskets.
Captain Lyons at center and Wood
son at forward, are two dependable
players who have had plenty Of OK
| perience and know the game well. Full
bingham. tall and rangy guard from
the football squad, makes the fifth man
in the Bruin lineup.
Other men who are showing good
| form on the court are Collier. Bell,
Gore. Wilkerson, Jones and Burncll. All
of these men give promise of develop.
ing into valuable players. but lack the
polish end experience TO be risked in

MAY SEEK LEONARD
Former Major League SOathpaw Could
-. Be Used Handily.

\ San Francisco, Jan. 12.-What about
Dutch Leonard, former star soutbpaw
of the Detroit Tigers: Isn't it about
time some club started dickering for
his services?
Leonard refused to report to Detroit
last season because of a salary differ
ence. Leonard, who has become very
wealthy in the last five years because
Of big advance in his, real estate hold
ings on the coast, held for a figure
that was much too high TO suit Owner
Navin OF Detroit.
Now that Detroit looks to have such
a good chance to win i'll 1928. it is pos
sible that some effort will be made to
get him back. With a pitcher of Leon
ards ability. working at top form, the
Tigers would get big boost for their
pennant chances.
Leonard did little pitching in Cali
fornia last summer. 1t is understood
be did not play against any ineligible,
so he probably would be Immediately re-
instated if he applied to Commissioner
Lands.
Seems a shame to have a southpaw
of Lconard's ability going TO seed, when
left-handed pitchers are such a scarce
article in the majors.

HIT DISPUTE WILL
MAKE COBB DRAWING
CARD IN NEW YORK
Without Doubt, Ty Will
Play Hard in Gotham to
Spite Critics.

Detroit, Jan. 12.-Ty Cobb is GER
tain TO be bigger drawing card than
ever before in New York this year.
Cobb, who always goes big in the
metropolis, is certain TO be more in
the spotlight than ever because Of
that disputed New York hit.
The hit was allowed by President
johnson, putting Cobb in the 400 class.
The New York writer's made a big
fuss over the matter, claiming Cobb
was not entitled 10 it, at the same time
panning Cobb and the American League
president.
Its a cinch that the attitude of the
New York scribes made no hit with
Cobb. When the Tigers arrive in
New York this summer. the memory of
that disputed bingle will be fresh in
Cobb's mind.
Little things like that arouse the
fighting spirit of Cobb, and it is a
certainty that his best work of 1929
will be in New York, if effort will
bring results. Cobb will try every
way possible 10 show I'D his critics.

Chicago, Jan. 12-War clouds, gath
cred over the camps Of the minoi

into immediate action on the art OF
the minor presidents against the major
leagues, when the first drive centerins

The trouble began when major leagues
announced a plan TO retain draft pow
sers on players Harmed out, IN al
ieged violation Of the maJor-mlnor
players assignment agreement
An increase in the optional player
limit from eight to fifteen caused a
storm of protest from the minor league

Then the minor league presidents

Yanks May Yet Get Collins.

New York. Jan. 12.--Returning to-
day from Chicago, Col. Jacob Rupert,
part owner of the New York American
League club, said there is new hope
that the Yankee-Sox deal, pivoting
around Eddie Collins may go through.
The deal, whereby Collins, one of the
greatest second basemen of all time,
would come to the Yankees is supposed
to be based on this lineup: Infielder
Aaron Ward. Outfielder Bob Meusel
and Pitcher Waite Hoyt of the Yam
KEGS for Collins, Outfielder Bib Falk
and Pitcher Leverette of the Sox. Il
cannot say that we have made any
great progress in the Collins deal"
said Colonel Rupert. 1T seems to
rest entirely with the White Sox."
Colonel Rupert also announced re-
newal of negotiation with the Vernon
club of the Pacific Coast League for
the purchase Of Pitcher jake May.
