In a Japanese English Glass.

The lesson was on the farmhouse
occupation of churning. When the
teacher had explained that the milk
after the cream was skinned off, was
called skinned milk, she proceeded to
explain the process of butter making.
Later she asked, what do we call the
milk that is left when the butter is
taken from the churn?"
The student replied, SKINNED

THE NEW YEAR

We have with us today the New Year. Still in his swaddling clothes this morning he IS a ]usty infant, growing and kicking and bran dishing his arms with glee over his advent but twelve hours ago. Too young yet to sus- pect the world he has come into, he surveys his surroundings with the air of a conqueror. It is the divine way of Youth, and it is the salvation of the world If each new year did not arrive to bring renewed illusions and revived confidence, this would be sorry old planet, indeed. It is particularly harrassed world that confronts the year 1923. Sinking away, the old year has left a legacy of work undone and tangled skeins to be unknotted, the handling of which will call for all that man has of courage, wisdom and faith. It nee;is the vigorous arrogance of youth, the lusty confidence of a new birth, to face It serenely But that it will be faced and engaged and managed in some fashion is the knowledge that inspires the world today. In that courage and faith it is Happy New Year. May the same spirit fill each and all of Us, and may the new twelve-month be entered upon with the air of a cOnQueror.

HOST ILLUSIONS"

In the columns of periodical that was formerly somewhat friendly to the League of Nations idea, we find this assertion, "America has been absolutely right in keeping out of foreign affairs under the conditions and lead ership that have prevailed since the armis tice.'' The editorial from which this is quoted was very appropriately entitled 'Lost 1llu- sions' Fortunately for the United States, the Republicans in the Senate did not have any illusions when the league question was pre- scented in 1919. They went squarely on record in exposition to the United States joining the lca~uc, and defeated the Wilson proposal that this country make the "supreme sacrifice. ' America has been not only right but far seeing in avoiding entangements with condl- tions and leadership that would certainly have made the United States the burden bearer and scapegoat of the world.

Fans Like Big Thrill

6h6 AAkAS APASs 4At AA
The big thrill in baseball Is the un-
expected. The fashy players like
Cobb provide the thrill. No one will
deny that Cobbs in baseball are few
and far between.
Only recently in commenting on
the great players of the game, John
McGraw, famous manager of the
New York Giants, paid Cobb a real
compliment by saying:
cobb is one of the greatest play
ers the game has ever produced. The
secret of his success is in doing the
unexpected. He is always on the
offensive, doing things that will test
the metal of other players"
Cobb for years has enjoyed the
honor of being the most versatile
player in baseball player capable
of doing everything as near perfect
as it Is possible for q. human being
to perform.
When Father Time began to make
inroads on Cobb, there flashed on the
horizon another brilliant star
George Sisler.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-02-16

sisler came direct to the American
League from the University Of
Michigan. In e. few months he had
proved that he was a great southpaw
pitcher. Incidentally, he showed
that he could hit, and that he was
one of the fastest men in the game.
Was it a waste of power to merely
use Sisler as a pitcher every fourth
day? 1t was decided in the affirma-
tive and Sisler was made over into a
first baseman.
Today he is conceded by all ex-
perts to be the premier at that posi-
ton. He is a wonder in the field, at
the bat, and on the bases. Sisler Is
the logical successor to TVy Cobb
when the Georgian decides to give up
active play.
frankie Frisch Arrives
Now, just as Sisler reaches the
height of fame, another marvel steps
into the picture-Frankie Frisch of
the New York Giants.

few major league players to make
