 Can't See Need of Revision
 Alderman Nair, committee char man. showed a councilman a pro- vision in the rules of the council re- quiring that all reports be consid- cred before the council for action without further motion. if they are printed and mailed to the members or read. It seemed to Alderman Nair that Councilman Sablotsky's point was already covered by the rules and if that was the only con- tention Of the councilman, there seemed to be no need for revising the rules.
 Councilman Sablotsky replied that If the point is covered in the pres ent rules, the council does not ob- serve the rules. Alderman Falk re- marked that 1t might be necessary to eliminate the section of the rules relative to suspension Of the rules if Councilman Sablotsky's wish to have all matters printed prevailed because there are bills almost every month which do not come before the finance committee in time to be printed. Alderman Judd contended that the present rules are being ob- served because reports of the public works which come In the night of the council meeting are printed and can be retad if the members wish 1t.
 Taking Councilman Sablotsky in hand, Alderman Judd asked him

If nature has been kind enough to
you to give you flesh that is firm
without being calloused, flesh that is
pliable and that always is cushion
to the ball without becoming a hard
cushion, you are so much better off
than some of the other boys that YOU
should consider yourself endowed by
ometh hing in your flesh that is a little
superior.
When we old boys PLAYED base ball
most of us probably did think that we
We're the proud posSesSors of some
thing 2 little better than the ordinary
if we had well developed callous spots.
and some of us were proud when we
could remove a little of the hardened
skin and proudly exhibit to admiring
boy eyes where our callouses needed
trimming down and had received it.
Pride Was Uniustitied.
But our pride was unjustified. May
he we ina agined that the callOus spots
rook little of the sting out Of the
impact of the ball with the hand, but
we did not have the fine gloves for
ball pla wing then that boys have now.
II we did have glove it was primi-
rive sort of an affair that was made
from some old glove belonging to
some member of the family who was
little older Perhaps we begged It
from them or rescued it from the rag
bag and trimmed it to suit.
Calous spots came when the boys
played a great deal then because the
skin hardened under the constant
practice. But it wasn't an added ac
cessory to base ball. Far from it.
We thought so because we did not
know any better. We also remember
that it was source of great aggrs va
ton to some of us who did not have a
wart on one hand and matter of
pride to the kid who did have one.
When we got older We ascertained
