ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The next place the Twins went to
in Once Upon-a-Time Land was the
castle of King Midas of the Golden

The little automobile bore the
three travellers past seven vineyards
and seven orchards and pretty soon
they came to the famous castle.
/ The castle was on top of a high
mountain and the only way one
could get to it was by a narrow stone
! stairway cut out of the rock
"My goodness" painted Nancy
when she reached the top, "I'd hate
to live up here. If l had to climb
these steps every time l did an er-
rand for mother, there wouldn't be
anything left Of me-

added Mister Mugs, shaking his
legs one at a time to get the cramps
out.

would make him hopping mad. Come
into this summer house and III tell
you a secret"

"Certainly," said Mister Mugs.
"All right, then" said Hop-Skip-

"Why?" asked Nick curiously.

So he wished that everything hi

King Midas was a fine jolly king

While the banks are asking us to
save money, we think they are over
looking one good argument. So, at
the risk of having Benjamin Frank

try to help the banks.
Saw for a rainy day is the COM
mon slogan, to which the answering
wise crack is, All some people save
for rainy day is rheumatism"
We beg to advance the following:
Your days are numbered. Let US
help you save the day. If you can't
save a whole day, save few hours
pay, or few minutes. Then when
your days are no longer useful you
will have what time you have saved.

control. My idea Of control is not
merely aiming the ball over the
plate. but rather pitching TO the
batter's weakness.
Control is an acquired art. Some
pitchers are blessed by being more
accurate than others, yet every
pitcher can perfect himself by con-
slant effort.
A strong pitching arm ia a gift
of nature. Every pitcher fortunate

I find that a fast ball delivered
with a natural motion is easiest
on the arm That may sound
strange. yet the throwing Of the
curve or slow ball takes much
more out OF the arm.
Like control, a change Of pace
can be acquired. Throwing the
slow one is more difficult for some
pitchers than others. This is due
to the fact that they are foTced to
change their style.
A slow ball is not really efrec-
tive unless delivered with the

player a dangerous hitter.
Work with your catcher. A
brainy backstop is a decided asset
Good catching is an essential of
great pitching.
However, don't become a mere
machine. If you don't like what
the catcher has signaled for, shake
him off and talk 1t over.
Have confidence In your ability.
No pitcher can succeed without
such an asset. Make up your
mind that every batter respects
your stuff.
