FAST BALL BEST

Dazzy Vance has the best fast ball
in the National League, say the
leading batters Of that organization.
Lack Of change of pacesis his out

ton starts hitting his speed he has
little else to offer.

In all probability Bobby Veach

with Cobb's policy, yet is too good

Just This Once.

There are some things that parents
decide may not be done. On these
points they are firm. The children
get to learn this and rarely attempt
TO question the decision.
But there is no rule that does not,
sooner or later, cramp the youngster
ana he sQuirms uneasily under it.
Especially is this true for the adoles-
cult persons. There comes the time
when he begs that Just this once"
the rule may be lifted.
The fearSome parent holds on to
ms grip, the law, and says, You know
that | never allow you to do that.
Don't question it. 1T is my rule and
you know it"
But the thoughtful and more dar-
ing parent says TO himself. Now.

hold fast to the rule this time? Would
il not be just as well to let him try
this out this once and see what hap
pens? He gets older. Soon all these
rules will have to be lifted and he
will have to travel on his own ex-
perience. Perhaps I'd better let him
try himself this time"
Ben was boy who had to be driven

lessons if he put his mind to IL. but
he did not put his mind to il, and so
somebody else had to keep after him
He had reached the middle years OF
high school and wore long trousers
and had his favorite among the girls,
Because his work needed such
watching and driving he was never
allowed TO make any engagements for
the afternoon or evening Of school
days. Never was he allowed to be
out Of the house in the evening.

This is n southern tree, ranging
from New York TO Florida, west to
Kansas. 1t is usually a small tree
in this part of its range. from thirty
to fifty feet in height. but in Louisi-
ana and Kansas, where it grows at
its best, il may reach a height of $50
feet. It's branches are horizontal or
dropping and form a broad or narrow
round headed top.
The pcrsimmon tree is well known.
owing to the peculiar character of its
fruit This fruit is globular. from
one TO one and one-half inches in
diameter. and long before il is ripe
turns a pale orange color with a red
cheek. When ripe Il is sweet and
juicy, but before ripening is complete
it is heavily charged with tannin, as
many of us know.
Says Julia Z. Rogers. There is no
better way TO fix the persimmon tree
indelibly in the mind than to yield
TO the opportunities of southern
friends and taste the fruit before it

I have come to feel that the main
trouble with most of us is that we
haven't enough religion. Instantly l
hear the first faint murmurs Of a
yawn. Don't. Walt. This is not 60
ing to be a goody-goody talk. We
have plenty of churches, plenty of
creeds, plenty of philosophers, plenty
of "isms" of every sort. But We
haven't enough religion in ourselves.
Religion doesn't need to be housed
in a church. In fact, / doubt very
much if the most vital part of re-
ligion can ever be housed in a church.
You might possibly take it into the
church with you, provided you have
it. But first you have to have it, And
most of US have mighty little. In fact,
we don't even know what II is.
Religion isn't church membership
nor alliance with any certain creed.
It's simply your individual hunger for
goodness, your individual understand
ing Of goodness, your individual ef-
forts to promote what you consider
to be goodness.
Every mans religion differs from
every other mans religion. You can
learn creeds. you can obey church
laws, but you must evolve your own
religion, and no two people ever
evolve religions that are exactly
alike. The religions of stevedores.
miners, janitors, auto mechanics.
trappers. prize fighters. hobos, soldiers,
all differ from each other and from
the religions Of bank clerks. land
scape gardeners, college professors
and dry goods clerks.
They differ because the tastes. pur-
suits, ambitions of these men all diff
fer. Each man has q different idea OF
goodness. and goes about promoting
that idea in q different way But
there's no reason why a prize fighter
shouldn't be as deeply religious as
the college professor. AS matter of
fact, those less intellectual workmen
are often far more religious and go

they begin to rot before they
