WOMEN IN DEMAND
AS POST OFFICERS

Women just win take command.
When a woman appears radiantly On
the scene, an the mere males become
as meek as lambs and hang around pa
tiently to be told when TO fetch and
carry. There may be hard-boiled eggs,
fellows who boast themselves he-men,
who rebel against the fact, who
wouldn't let any woman boss them
no, no. not they,
Even they are not half so indie
pendent of milady as they fondly
imagine themselves to be Sooner or
later they succumb, pleasurably. along
with those Of their brethren who are
just waiting for a glance of that be-
witching eye to fall for anything that
may be commanded of them. Anyhow,
woman soon runs the ship of state,

And so In the Legion. Women may
not be numerous in the enrolment.
But they WELD power And posts are
recognizing that fact by electing them
TO offices. The women have paved the
way for that by their willingness, their
faithfulness and their devotion.

TRIBUTE TO LEGION

Youth which believes. :"
are words Of a tribute to the
American Legion included in the
American Bar associations last
annual report, which states.
How, then, shall we proceed
to leayen the vast lump of indif-
ference. ignorance and hostility
prevalent in this country and
threatening the growth Of what
the American Legion has grouped
under the term 'Americanism =
The association answers its own
question as follows: Our plan
has been TO work with and CO.
ordinate the efforts of every So
ciety in America competent and
willing to do the york, AMI in
this way we have been amazed
and delighted to find the mag
nificent work that these organi
cations are accomplishing along
patriotic lines, how readily ana
intelligenty tley respond to
every appeal. Foremost of these
in numbers, youth and zeal, of
course, is the American Legion.
If sometimes the Legion in its
enthusiasm does radical things,
it must be remembered that
youth which believes is always
radical. Youth which believes is
never lukewarm and seldom
moderate. But Of all the assets
that America has for good citi-
Zenship and the awakening of
the political conscience, undoubt-
edly this great body stands

Chapter III

Inc Two young men huOptet cHdTdC-
teristic attitudes when confronted
with the slight misadventure of
burst tire and delay of half an
hour. Christopher Bent deliberately
filled and Lit pipe. and, seating him
self on the top Of a low, gray stone
wall, gave himself up to the joy Of
wonderful view and the pleasure of
unusual surroundings. His comDan-
Ion, Gerald Dombey, stood peevishly
In the middle of the road, with his
hands in his pockets, cursing the flint
strewn road the rottenness of all
motor tires, and the evil chance which
led to this mishap In the last lap of
their Journey.
Wen be on the road again In
twenty minutes, your lordship" the
chauffeur promised, as he paused for
a moment TO wipe the perspira;ion
from his forehead.
His master nodded with some signs
Of returning equanimity.
Don't distress yourself, John" he
said. There's no real hurry so long
as we get into Monte Carlo before
dark. Come on, Christopher" he
added, turning to his companion. "Get
Off that wall and let us explore"
The two young men strolled Off to
gether. Gerald paused to point to
the little. discolored house of Jean
Sargot.
Are they real people who live In
these quaint cottages?" he speculated.
THAT place, for instance. looks like
toy farm. with it's patch of vioIets,
its tiny vineyard, it's belt of plowed
land and this little grove Of expresses.
1t is just as though some child had
taken them all from his play box and
laid them out there"
Christopher withdrew the pipe from
HIS mouth for a moment. He was
looking at the opening In the little
grove Of expresses.
And there" he murmured, must
be the child to whom they all belong
think You are right, Gerald. There
Is something unreal about the place"
Gerald too, was suddenly conscious
of the girl who stood clutching the
top Of the wooden gate, her face
turned a little away from them, alb
sorbed in the contemplation of that
distant spot where the road vanished
In a faint haze of blue mist
1--WE viii talk to her" he declared.
you shall practice your French upon
this little rustic, Chris She prob
ably won't be able TO understand
word you say"
At the sound of their voices, MYRTLE
turned her head, and, at the things
which they saw IN her face, there
was no longer any thought of frlvol-
Gus conversation on the part of the
two young men. They stood for
moment indeed speechless. Chris
topher spellbound, Gerald, of quicker
sensibility, carried for moment In
20 the world from which she seemed
TO have fallen. Then his old habits
asserted themselves. She was as
beau 'iful as an angel, but her feet
were on the ground, and she was OBJ
viousy in distress.
Are you alive. mademoiselle7" he
asked. raising HIS cap.
But certainly, monsieur" she an

She pointed to where the thin rib

melt into the bosom OF the clouds.

You 60 there often. perhaps?"
Christopher ventured.

BALTIM0REANS BEAT
MARYLAND u. TWELVE

BALTIMORE, May 17.-Experience
and Eddie Stuart counted heavily for
Mount Washington today at Home
wood, and the Hillmen administered
a defeat to the University of Mary
land lacrosse team. The score was
to 0.
Maryland had just as many shots at
the goal as the winners, but simply
could not get one past Stuart, who is
universally recognized as king of all
goal keepers now playing the game.
On the other hand, the strong Col
lege Park defense, which had held
Hopkins fast attack to two goals,
was repeatedly baffied by the crafty
maneuvering of the Beltimore club
men.
1t wasn't because Maryland didn't
fight that she lost. Her youngsters
were in there trying all the time, but
they hadn't the knowledge and tech
nique to enable them TO match the
strategical moves of their opponents.
The game was hardly a minute old
when Baker, the big first attack. tore
down the south line and chalked up
were stunned by the suddenness of
the coupe, and right then it looked as
if Mount Washington might rush the
younger team off its feet before it
could get time to settle down.
This possibility, however, never ma
terialized. Maryland came back fight
ing and kept fighting until it was all
over.
At the end of the first half the
count was to 0.

and junior divisions and ball game be-
tween all-star teams of Washington
and Baltimore. Local sandlot fans
will select the members of the Wash
ington team by ballot.
The ashington Base Ball and
Athletic Association promises to do
ball here. To increase the prestige
of the local game, it has affiliated
with the National Base Ball Fedora
ton, and the champion nine of the
the world amateur series conducted
annually by the N. b. F. This means
that Washington's leading team, if it
cares to, may compete in tourna-
ment in which nearly twoscore cities
will be represented.
A Democratic Body.
The organization of the Washing
ton chapter of the n. B. f. was due
to a small group of men who long
have worked whole heartedly and un-
seIfishIy in tho interests of amateur
sport, particularly sandlot base ball,
here. The local chapter is a demo-
cratic body, with administrative
powers vested in a board of directors
elected by managers of member teams.
Every league or section of five mines
The association is officered by men
recognized as sport leaders in the
District, and its president, Col. Wait
c.. Johnson, is internationally known
for his organization efforts in the
realm of sports. Col. Johnson at
present is athletic officer of the gen.
eral staff of the Army, but is able to
devote much of his time to base ball
here. His efforts already have helped
the cause, the reopening Of the Ellipse
diamonds for Sunday base ball being
one of the results.
The vice president is Morton A.
Anderson, who heads the Potomac
Amateur League, subsidiary OF the
main organization promoting the
sandlot game among teams Of the
unlimited division. The treasurer is
James f. OMalley, who is president
of the Union Printers Athletic Asso-
citation. Treasurer O'Malley came to
Washington several years ago from
Cleveland, where the National Base
Ball Federation originated, and was
instrumental in forming the local
chapter.

Intimately connected with sandlot
base bali in Washington since the
old days of the District Base Ball
Commission. Cook is secretary of the
association, and a real one, too. He
recently completed the compilation of
card record of every sandlotter in
the amateur class, closed all playing
contracts and arranged playing sched-
ules for the largest base ball circuit
the city ever has had.
