Peckinpaugh is admittedly far su-
perior to Jackson at short. Well,
won't go into more details. but just
say this for me: This bird is going
to be a lot wiser but sadder when
the series is over
So the plodding scribe hied himself
down to Lower Six, gave hefty tug
at the protecting curtains ana
howled Peck, are you in there?
"Uh, huh" answered Peck. AS soon
as the situation had been explained TO
Peck the Griffs' game little shortstop
leaped up and promised to meet the
reporter in the washroom forthwith.
Once there he was told the news.
World series are not new to Peck.
"Zat So" he smiled sleepily as he
carefully wiped his face. "Oh, well,
what's the difference? We can lick
the Giants, all right, but of course it's
not going to be any cinch. L guess
! shouldn't say much right now,
though, and it wouldn't make any diff
ference anyhow, so let's talk about
the weather. I'm glad the suns out.
aren't you?" And Peck grinned, too.
Fred Marberry is just youngster
on the pitching staff, but he has won
his service stripes already and is
sure of starting one of the series
games, probably the opening game in
New York on Monday. His opinion
of how the Giants pitching stan
stacks up against the Nationals
moundsmen was sought. Fred is
fine chap to talk to.
Respect for Giant Pitchers.
We've undoubtedly got the edge
on them" he said. The Giants
haven't got a man that can touch
Walter Johnson. They rely on Art
Nehf. Personally, | think the only
man we have to fear is McQuillan.
Bentley is all right, but he hasn't been
going so good at times and, there
fore, is unreliable. What with hav-
ing the best pitching staff and heavy
hitters. 1 think we should take the
series. but / hope we won't get too
confident until it's all over
Zachary agreed with Marberry,
more Or less, although he was not
quite so sure about Washington's su-
periority in pitchers. He agreed that
Walter Johnson tops anything the
Giants can offer, but he admitted to
possessing quite a handsome amount
of respect for the others-McQuillan,
Bentley and Virgil Barnes. Muddy

of the others thought and said

Article on "Sanctions. !"


Part l also contains an article on
sanctions, to be appealed to, when
necessary, by, the other signatories
in order to enforce compliance with
the decree of the international court.
These 'sanctions,' however, are not
obligatory, but permissive. and pro-
tect any or all powers resorting to
them against the claim that they are
violating the provisions of interna-
tional law. In my opinion. obligatory
sanctions to enforce the obligations of
any treaty among many states, which
obligations may come into effect in
the indefinite future and under con-
ditions entirely unknown and unan-
ticipated at the time the obliga tions
are contracted, are of necessity a
mere form Of words. In these DAYS
of democratic governments. no legis-
lature can be bound under such cir
cumstances to take the necessary
action when the time comes Sane
tfons, whether military or economic;
in such cases will in practical effect
be merely permissive sanctions. They
only mean that when the circum-
stances arise the contracting parties
will consult together and decide in
the light of the actual circumstances
and conditions what they will agree
to do. The permissive sanctions in
the American plan are economic in
character.
ITO facilitate action in the matter
of disarmament, Parts and of the
plan provide for the creation by the
league of permanent advisory con-
ference. to study and advise on arma-
ments, and which should function
constantly. with formal sessions at
stated intervals. 1t also is provided
that there shall be permanent COM
mission of inspection"

 "I don't know thing about child dren and I'm too old to learn" she told herself over and over.
 Yet if she looked from the window she saw Richards brown head, bobbinR among her rose bushes. Within doors 1t was the same. He seemed to fin every chair and doorway.

 Tomorrow it might be that she would lose the chance forever.
 She struggled with herself all day. Training and desire grappled and fought. She did not know how to be a mother, but he wanted to be one; she wanted to be Richards mother.
 Finally she fell on her knees and prayed. Then she arose and went over to Mrs. Wilson's.
 Richard was in Beulah's old crib asleep, for it was night. Mrs. Wilson took Lillis and let her look at him.
 ''Isn't he a wonderful babyY Mrs. Wilson said with tears in her eyes. q always wanted boy. I ache to keep him, but Wilson says on his wages one child is all he can manage to do for. And, of course, Richard hasn't a penny to go with him" She covered the small limbs tenderly.a "I heard from Mrs. Rose over the telephone a moment ago." she went on. 'I think she will take him. It's nice place."
 ! Suddenly Lillis went pale as death. Suddenly, also she swOoped into the crib and lifted the baby out and press- ed him to her. Her eyes shone, her mouth quivered as she faced Mrs. Will sno.
 "Tm going to take him right home with me now" she said. He is my baby. He called me Mum. All I have shall be his. I'll learn to do for him I'll study. I'll seek to be n good mother to him. That other wom- an, no woman shall have him. He is mine."
 'Why, Lillis Bartlett!" was all Mrs. Wilson could say. ss
 Llllis went on swiftly, passionately {:
 Tomorrow morning when he awakes he will find himself a home. I'll have the shades up to let, the sun in. I'll I'll be smiling and glad, l."
 Why, you're smiling now!" gasped Mrs. Wilson.

THE SORRY WOMAN

Lillis Bartlett found that she had picked large bunch of daffodils. She stood looking at the golden things and wondering at herself.
 q meant only to. take a few" she thought, land here I've got dozens. 1 guess it was because they were so pretty and bright that I didn't know enough to stop. don't want so many daf- fodils for myself
 She sighed, wishing that she had left the flowers on their stems.
 Standing there in her big yard under the trees she looked lonely figure in her black dress, with her iron-gray hair smoothed back from her high forehead, with her eyes on her and her lips sad. The sorry woman. That was sewhat little Bedlah Wilson called her, and gradually others had adopted the name. The Sorry Wowan! Yes, she was that, and she looked all the sortier now be- cause of the bunch of gold in her thin hands, .
 Lillis' life had been such as gives a woman sorry look and sorry heart, too. She had been married at 16 to a man who was three times her age, a man she did not love, but whom her mother had urged her to take because they were poor and he had considerable tries, halOed by the crystal lights, backed by the handsome draperies that once set off the beauties and the ele- gance of Kings and Queens.

 "Of course" men sa tha they are busy and preoccupied with their busi- ness and that their wives ought to have enough sense to know that they love them without being told. But that ism enough for women. They want words just as a starving man wants food.
 "There would be no more divorce if every man made it rule and habit of his life, just as he does shaving and brushing his teeth, to wake his wife up on Sunday morning with a real warm kiss, instead of giving her a ham-and- egg-peck on the. rim of her ear; if on Monday he would tell her that he loved her better than he did when he courted her; if on Tuesday he would tell her how young and girl ish she looked if on Wednesday he would tell her that like wine she i'm proved with age, and every year she became more beautiful to him; if on Thursday he noticed the way she combed her hair, and the new dress she had and if on Friday he told her what a wonderful wife she was and how she helped him if on Satur- day he praised the dinner and told her that there wasn't chef who could touch her pies.
 Administer one of these bromides to your wives every day, boys the woman professor would say, "and you will keep them in a trance of bliss, and your home will be place of peace and rest and comfort"
 Then the lady professor would call up the class in mathematics.
 She would begin by proving the faliacy of that ancient lie that as- serts that two can live as cheaply as one and she would show that it takes two or three times as much for mar ried couple as it does for a bachelor. She would ground the prospective bridegrooms in doctors bills and mil

HANDKERCHIEFs

Handkerchiefs are still in the ascen- dancy. More and more varieties are con- tinually appearing. As far as smart ness goes, the largest ones are the most popular. They have prices which go quite in proportion to their sizes, too, put since they are really simple affairs, the careful girl will make her own hand kerchiefs. Printed chiffon and crepe de Chine for daytime use in the wild est patterns and colors you can find, for evening weblike chiffon in dainty tones and lace that is equally dainty to edge them.
 The daytime ones may have plain colored borders hemstitched on them if you want to go to that much trouble, and the lace, too, is nicer if hem. stitched instead of being just sewed on.

vinced that they do everything that any reasonable woman could expect, and they honestly don't know what in blazes it is that makes their wives peevish and dissatisfied with them.
 Don't they work and support their wives? Don't they give their wives good homes and good clothes? They do. Aren't they moral and upright? They don't. Well, in heavens name, then, what does a woman want? What con- stitutes a good husband?
 A mans notion of a good hus-
 band is along the same lines as
 the way he buys his wife dress.
 He picks out something substantial
 that is all wool and yard wide,
 and guaranteed not to fade or run
 in the wash. It's all right, of
 course. But it isn't the wife's
 taste, nor what suits or becomes
 her. And, anyway, what she was
 craving was a pale pink beaded
 geOrgette.
 Now if they will put woman,
 two-time widow, by choice, as
 the head of that school for hus-
 bands, the first think she will
 teach the eager young husbands-to-
 be will be never olet up on the
 soft talk between the altar and the grave.
 Boys" she will say, if you want your wives to eat out of your hands if you want to blind your wives to your every fault; if you want to keep uour wives perpetually burning incense to their luck in having gotten you, all that you have to do is to give them some daily tangible evidence that you still consider them as lady-loves, instead of pieces of useful household furniture.

FRANCES RICH

Frances Rich. youngest daughter of Oliver Cromwell, was born in Decem- Der, 1638. She was probably handsomeI as she received many splendid offers of marriage, among others one from Charles Il himself, then in exile Crons- well refused, saying that: Charles would never forgive the death of his father"
 The Duke d'Enghien, oldest son. of the Prince de Condo. was another suitor of Frances Cromwell. On November II .l 1857, she married Robert Rich, grand son and heir to Robert, Earl of War wick, the Protector settling 15,OO0 pounds on his daughter.
 MT. Rich lived three months after his marriage, and some time after MrGl Rich married Sir John Russel, by whom she had several children. sssss
 She died January 27, 1721, at the age of S4 years.

is Of little practical worth unless tn teachers are all women.
 For the thing that is the mat ter with the great majority of husbands now is that they practice the profession of husbandry, so to speak, from a masculine point of view instead of feminine one. They are already good husbands according to their own light and knowledge. They are just the sort of husbands that man would like
 to have, if he had husband, which
 is mighty different sort of an \ animal from the kind of husband
 that a woman desires. It is not
 their morals that are at fault so
 often as it is their technique.
 There is not one man in a million who marries woman with the de liberate intention of running her If, and making her miserable. On the con trary. virtually all men intend to b, good husbands and to make their wive happy. Most of them are firmly con

Is Matter sOf
 Training
aY |. s. nRAnY

by L. VI. uHA1N Many articles on concentration tell yoii-to concentrate you must concen. trate. We'll, that is 50, but what of it? Let us see if we can find out some thing more definite about it.
 First of all, the ability to focus the attention upon one thing is just as much habit as is skating, or playing the piano, or learning to walk. It takes practice to develop that habit. And practice takes time. The first thing, then, to remember, Is not to be- come discouraged. Gradually your thoughts may become disciplined to remain fastened upon one, line for two or three seconds, and then for longer periods.
 Have you ever tried to hit a piece of wood exactly in the center? If so, you know how easily that may be done, provided you keep your eyes upon the precise place where you wish the ax to strike. But once let your eyes waver, and the ax will swerve. So with the mind-it Is a matter of dosgedly try. ing time after time to. focus the mind on the thing only at time.
 There is simple experiment which shows clearly the great waste of time
  remember the nursery rhyme,
 Mary had little lamb,
 It's fleece was white as snow;
 And everywhere that Mary went
 The lamb was sure to go."
 See how long it takes you to recite that. It will take you about four sec onds. Now say it over until you can repeat it automatically, with no thought about it at all. sr
 Now you really ought to be able to say 1t and at the same time add a few simple figures, don't you think so? You ought to be able to do that as easily as you can walk and talk at the same time. Suppose you try it. Here are few figures: Say the little rhyme | about Mary, and add the figures at the same time. Get your watch out and time yourself or, better yet, have some one else time you. It. will probably take you about IS seconds or more. l :, Add 6S9

 Next. see how long it takes you to add like number of figures while you devote your entire attention to adding. Try yourself now, in adding these Add S37

 This will take about five seconds. Now add the four seconds which it took you to say "Mary had a little lamb'' and you have nine seconds, or only half of the time consumed in try ing to add the figures and say the rhyme at the same time.
 This is very simple illustration of the loss of efficiency and time in shift ing from one easy and .well-known thing to another easy thing. The gain in doing one at time even in this case is 100 per cent or greater. ; So you can afford to take little time each day to practice keeping your mind on one thing to the exclusion of all else.
