from the inception of the charge

was something wrong with the game
in question.

existed in the game just previous to
the 1919 world series"

WHEN"HERB" WENT HOME

Into what strange currents our lives carried!
How far we progress from childhoods association
early halfformed dreams, from those shadowy WIS.,
ions of the great world that lay beyond our YOUTH
Herbert Hoover must have had some such thoughts
as these when he recently revisited his old home at
Newberg, Ore. What did the average boy" Herbert
Hoover, think OF the great outside world in which
his name was to become a byword, in which he was
to take control of about the greatest business it had
There is some sentiment in us all that leads us
to cherish the memorySef childhood days Hoover adj
rmts he has it, and that he made the trip for no
other sake than to indulge that feeling.

with no unheaval except that of his own heart.

known as just "a boy who a great reader" He

those who had been kind to him. r.
He communed with his friends, but his most i'm
portant meeting that inner encounter he must
have had with his boyhood dreams 1t doesn't take
much to bring memories flooding back-an old tree,
rickety fence house, room.

There is common touch in the memory Of

have brought back to Hoover a realization of how
small the world is, after all, for Newberg boy to

UNTIL THE NEW DAY

IF the millennium were here the Golden Rule
the universal guide. hereJwould be no need of
either league or court
One of the arguments made against the World
Court and the League of Nations by its opponents is
that the old animosties, jealousies and selfish in
terests still survive in the world, particularly in
Europe
Man is not yet sufficiently advanced, according to
this theory, for institution like the league
Senator Thomas ]. Walsh of Montana offers the
answer to this view in the sentence quoted above
The Senator seems to put the case in a nutshell
If the opposite view were Sogical, then we shotld
abolish our courts police and other agencies of ad
justment and protection leaving mankind to settle
its private disagreement with brckbats knives and
guns.
