OCTOBER
Ada C. Goodrich

October arrived yesterday
Playing on wind-harps-cresce
Swiftly marching past my windows
In gold sandals, on her way.
She has boarded since the springtime
For this gorgeous panorama
Storing 'gainst natures Alamo,
All her beauty for a rhyme
The woods are touched with rarest
dye;
The wild deer drink from sluggish
rills;
Red sumacs blaze beyond the hills;
Smoky silver wells the sky.
But the robins, wise and knowing,
Call an early get-to-gether,
Held discourse upon the weather,
Decreed that, Summers going"

A LONG, LONG TAI AMENDING

There's a long long tail a-winding
To Sunny Tennessee,
Where the monkey has been ousted
From the human family tree;
Where men believe the story that
Adam told to Eve,
And women hold the theory that
Men cannot deceive.
There a wildcat is a wildcat,
Right from the very start;
In the realm of education
No varmint plays a part.
There a white mans still the critter
As he was first created
And coon is just an animal
AS amt been elevated.

The Breaks of the Game.

Many base ball games are won and
likewise lost-for every game that is
won is also lost-by what are in the
vernacular OF the sport known as
breaks" They are the unexpected,
abnormal happenings, lucky bounds Of
the ball, freak twists. chance taps,
slips and strange slants. Last year
Washington scored the final winning
tally in the twelfth inning Of the
seventh game on a grOunder that
struck a pebble and hoped over the
head Of the waiting third baseman Of
the enemy. Yesterday the Nationals
lost the second game Of the present
series by bad break, when Roger
Peckinpaugh, SO regularly reliable
that he has just won the title Of the
most valuable member" of his team
in the American League, fumbled an
ordinarily easy roller, which put a
n home-run hitter with the tally that
proved just the margin Of victory.
A batsmanS lodges an erratic pitch
and the ball. striking the bat, pops up
bad breaks for the batting side. Or in
lodging he may accidentally tap the
ball over the infield for single, a bad
break for the fielding side. Last year.

Mitchell's Refusal to Testify.

Col. Mitchell has shifted ground and
adopted a changed position with re-
gard to the development of facts af-
feCting the aviation practices and poll
cies of the Government in refusing
10 testify before the naval court of in
qliiry on the Shenandoah disaster on
the ground that his appearance before
that court would prejudice his rights
in the Army court-martial which IS
now expected. When Col. Mitchell
made his first statement after the
Shena nduah disaster, in which he
scored the practices and policies of the
Navy Department in aviation, he de
clared that he was willing to go the
limit to bring out the facts regardless
of the consequences 10 himself. He
has appeared before the Presidents
commission and given his testimony,
which has consisted mainly in criti-
cisluS and arguments. Now he bGlks

although the Shenandoah disaster WIS
the occasion for his outburst Of eX-
coriation.
1t is difficult 10 conceive the logic
of this procedure. Technically Col.
Mitchell may be immune to subpoena
by 4 naval court, he being an officer
Of another branch of the service. And
technically. likewise, he may he justi-
fled in seeking To save himself from
inquiry before a possibly uufi'icndly
body when he is about To be tried by
Il court of his own service. Eut after
all. if Col. Mitchell has the facts i'll
his favor. it makes no difference with
his standing as an Army officer, in
regard to the question Of insubordina-
tion and violation of the Articles Of
War and the Army regulations,
whether he is quizzed by the Presi-
dents commission or by the naval
court Of inquiry. The question before
the Army court, which is probably
soon to be summoned for his trial is
simply whether his utterances have
constituted a breach Of discipline. His
offense. if he has committed one on
that score, will not be magnifed by
any testimony which he might give
before the naval court Of inquiry, ap-
pearing before it under summons.
II would he better for Col. Mitchell,

testimony without regard to what may

Fame Evolutes Backward
For the Foot Ball Star

For three years the foot ball star is
important. After that he Is spoken
OF as the man who was a foot ball star
once. And the fact that he was a
foot ball star once helps him not in the
least to get along in any business that
he takes up. 1t is fine thing to be
hero. while you are being a hero.
But after the hero days have passed.
which they do quickly with the ANA.
teur hero, there is nothing left but
sorrows crown of sorrow" which. as
membering happier things" The real
hero in peace or war probably gets
considerable fun out of his fame. But
the real heroes are so few that it is
hardly worth while writing about
them. Unusual circumstances give
most OF them their opportunities
circumstances that figure in fewer
than one life In thousand.
Young men who are famous in col
lege or in early life because they have
the physical coordination necessary to
excel in some particular sport, usually
get their heads SO turned with early
success that they become unduly con.
.eited. And as conceit is a belief that
one is as good as he needs to be, there
is scant prospect Of his ever getting
any better.
A great many young men who from
utter obscurity have looked upon Mr..
Ruth and Mr.. Dempsey and envied
and admired them will far eclipse
them at so. For these young men viii
wake up some time to the discovery
that the real hero stuff is in the mind
and In the soul and in the spirit, not
In the biceps or muscular wrists and
calves. Any heroism that Is based on
sport is really amateur heroism. The
amateur lasts only through youth.
After that he fades out of the pic
ture and is forgotten. The kind of
reputation that is made of mental abil-
tty is the one kind that Is enduring
and worth having. Keats, who lived
