Manager World Champion Cardinals

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Thanks
TO combination of base hits and
Yankee errors in that one big
inning we are champions OF the
world, and Jess Haines and Grover
Cleveland Alexander have replaced
Herb Pennock and Babe Ruth as
the heroes of the 1926 world series
/ knew my men would fight their
way to the championship, and While
We won by a narrow margin we
won and that's what counts. A
less courageous team might have
quit when Babe Ruth slammed
that tremendous home run into the
right center field seats. But |
told you early in this series that
the Cardinals fought better when
they were behind and that is what
they proved. That home run by
Ruth was just what we needed to
put the scrap and fight into our
men. and the run had scarcely been
posted on the board when We be-
gan the rally that beat the Yankees
and gave us the winners share OF
the spoils.

KOenig and MeuseI helped us
by making these errors in that
inning, but we made our own
breaks by hustIing. Meusel knew
we were going to try to score on
that fly, and he knew that he'd
have to throw to catch a Cardinal
dasIling to the plate with the
tying run, and that is what made
him drop it.

position apparent. The plan calls for
a court building seven stories in
height, but as tall as an ordinary
twelve-story office building. 1t will ac-
commodate fourteen courts. No fig
ures are given as to the number of
cells or accommodations for prisoners.
but 1t is to be assumed that ample
space will be provided for Chicago's
criminal population, at least that por-
tion of it that is in custody.
Recently Chicago has occupied the
public eye in an unpleasant role, as
one Of the chief crime centers of this
country. It's hold-up men, its gun
men, it's gangsters, its organized boot
leg fraternities, it's confidence crews,
it's yeggmen, have, running true to
modern form, supplied thousands of
columns of news while it's record of
arrests and successful prosecutions
has been singularly short. Now it
would seem that the public conscience
has been aroused at least to the eX-
tent of providing the physical equip
ment for the trial of cases. If those
fourteen courts are worked at the
proper pace, if the prosecuting officers
are diligent and thorough, if the police
keep them supplied with cases, this
$7,500,000 investment may turn out
rich dividends. 1t may yield heavily
enough in few years, a decade per-
haps, to relieve Chicago of the re-
proach which now rests upon it.

Sunday on the Road.

There may not be quite fifty-two
Embarrassing tragedies each year in
this country, but certainly the record
will closely approximate one every
Sunday. There are grade-crossing IA
talities upon other days of the week,
hut Sunday seems to be the special
harvest time of death at the places
where the highways and railways In
tersect. Yesterdays contribution to
the record of grade-crossing casualties
occurred at New Milford, Ohio, where
a family Of four was killed when their
automobile was struck by a railroad
train.
It would seem that every person
starting out on Sunday in a motor
would realize the fact that grade
crossings are particularly fatal on
that day. Why it is no one can tell.
Perhaps it is because there are more
people on the road, and the larger the
number of drivers the greater the
chance of some of them being helpless
and reckless and incompetent in emer-
gencies.
In the conditions as they now OBJ.
tain the responsibility for grade
crossing accidents lies upon the high.
way user. Although many of the
crossings are not protected by gates
or watchmen, practically all of them

Defends Sally Fairfax.
Descendant Takes Issue With
Hughes on Life of
Washington.
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the Editor oil Inc STAR:
Referring to an article in The
Evening Star of October Ia, 1926, /
will ask: Just which Sally Fairfax,
along with George Washington, does
Rupert Hughes, in his new book,
George Washington. the Human
Being and the Hero" try to put in
an ugly light? The older Sally
(Sarah) married Col. William Fair
fax just nine years before George
Washington was born, and the
younger Sally (Sarah) was a child of
this union, as was also George Will
liam Fairfax. Young Sally, single and
beautiful, flirted with George Wash
ington, but, declining his offer of
marriage, became the wife of Mr..
Carlyle of Alexandria, Va. Her
brother. George William Fairfax,
married Miss Cary.
The one who was George Washing
tons best friend" and who gave
him his first start as a surveyor. was
an old bachelor-namely, Thomas,
Lord Fairfax of Greenway Court,
Clark County, Va.
If Rupert Hughes has been correct

historic data, as family and legal
records bear out my statements.

THINK 1T OVER
Consider the. Bicycle.
By William Mather Lewis,
President George Washington University

The automobile appears to be an
unpopular educational adjunct. AT
least, several colleges and universl-
ties now rule that their students shall
leave their cars at home. The rea-
sons given for this embargo are that
joy-riding is detrimental to studying
and that it has bad moral influence.
Still another indictment might be
brought against the Well-nigh unlVer-
sal practice, in college and out, OF
using the automobile to go even snort
distances, and that is the physical
one. 1t has been prophesied that If
this practice is persisted in, mankind
will be a race without legs in the
course of a few thousand years. BE
that as it may, the student VINO
walks to the classroom and the buSl-
ness man who walks to the office VIII
probably be healthier and keener
mentally than those who must needs
be hauled everywhere they go.
Traffic and parking problems are
worrying city officials everywhere.
What if every person living within
two miles of their places of occupa-
ton would walk down in the morning
and back in the evening? That
would mean an hour of wholesome
exercise instead of a period of frenzy
devoted to creeping through traffic
and locating parking places. What
if those who live from two to four
miles out would come down on
bicycles? That would further reduce
the congestion, both of the human
body and the city street. OF course,
you are now thinking that we will
never return to pedestrianism and
bicycling. Not so fast. Many wom-
ems colleges now have bicycle clubs.
that at Smith College boasts nearly
$50 members. Many other colleges
and community organizations have
hiking clubs.
No one can tell what we will do
next. This Summer every one who
could borrow a bathing suit tried to
swim across the English Channel.
Next Summer you may read this in
a Chicago paper: Miss Mary Smith
broke the walking record from Fif-
tieth street to the corner of State and
Madison, covering the distance in one
hour and five minutes. Miss Smith,
who is stenographer, will now tTy
for the bicycle record over the VIII
mette course" Once again selfpro
pulsion is popular and many of our
modern problems will evaporate.

New York Newsboys.

A competent inquiry into the health
Of New York newsboys gives a good
showing for the newsy. He is health
ier than the average of the school
age children of that city. The nerv-
Gus strain of his calling does not
show in extraordinary heart trouble.
His heart is as good as, or better than.
the average. Exposure to weather
has not injured him and perhaps
makes him more resistant to colds,
cough, sore throat, hoarseness and
the rest. The lungs, eyes, ears, teeth
and tonsils of more than 1000 news
boys examined were as good as those
of the non-newsies in the school popu-
lation. The doctors think that his
outdoor work does him good. The
boys were as we'll nourished as other
boys. There was some malnutrition
in the lot, but the average was not
below that for boys in general. The

him we'll fed.
No comparative test seems to have
been made of his voice and pronuncia-
ton, but it may be believed that his
voice is as shrill and strong as voices
Of other boys. 1t may also be be-
lieved that his pronunciation some
times falls below the study-hall stand
ard. No consideration was given the
matter Of newsboys' morals, COM
pared with the morals of boys who
do not cry papers, but if there are
vicious newsies. their wickedness may
not be greater than that Of many
idler boys. Many ex-newsies come to
distinction and prosperity. Two New
York candidates for high office were
newsboys-Gov. Smith, candidate for
re election, and Justice Robert F..
Wagner, candidate for the United
States Senate, versus Senator James
w. Wadsworth. jr.
The newsboy investigators do not
give their subjects a clean bill as to
PERSONA hygiene and nattiness Of
clothing. The investigators say that
many of the boys were dirty, but were
comparatively free from skin diseases.
The investigators also found that the
newsboy was below the classroom
average in studies, but could not de-
termine whether this was because he
Is not an academic student by nature
or because he Is more interested in
business than in scholastic questions.

1t makes a long wait. indeed.
A light repast, such as waffies and

Always allow yourself plenty of
time. Those unfortunates who must
run from their place Of employment
to the concert hall will have to do the
best they can.
The proper method of eating waff1es
before a concert calls for plenty of
time. On the other hand, too much
time is a handicap. 1t allows one to
eat too much.
This is a delicate question.
| Between eating enough and TOO
much there is no fine line, not even
a, hair crack: every one will have to
discover it for himself.
Perhaps waffles and coffee are the
universal solution, at least we ad-
vance this meal as ideal for the pur-
poses in hand.
Remember-We want our music to
arouse dreams, not Nightmares.

of butter.
Why will eating places insist on
giving one a Superfluity of sirup and
a minimum of butter? 1t ought to be
the other way around. 1t will be, in

we are sure.
Calm insistence, then, must take

They say that there are people up IN
Mars
And maybe others, in the realms OF

We wonder if they rail
At the laws that prove so frail
And avoid the cops who hail
Motor cars.
We wonder as we gaze from here
below
If those planets, as they make SO free
show,
Have a prohibition law,
Or folks like G. Bernard Shaw,
Or the crime waves, somewhat raw,
That we know.
As astronomers industriously guess
Our people on this orb must CONFESS
That the problems right down here
Are consistently severe
And are picturesquely queer,

'sfiome-Rule" Daylight Saving
Topic for Press Discussion

"Of course. that will not end the
agitation and complaint" says the
Hartford Times. but it blocks one of
the avenues by which an unsatisfled
minority may seek to embarraSS the
majority. Unfortunately the decision
has no bearing on the Connecticut
statute by which the public display OF
wrong time is made compulsory or
cities and towns in the Summer. We
trust it isn't too much to hope even
that may be abolished in time. when
it comes to he more generally recog-
niZed that requiring the double SyS-
TEN is no weapon at all against tho

as there was before, but an effort has
been made to distribute it so that the

the drawbacks. Cincinnati is merely

ton, which means q very temporary

many should receive q maximum

The Omaha World-Herald holds that
decision of the United States Su.
daylight-saving law is constitutional
seems to be victory for light against
darkness

On the other side of the argument
the Charlotte Observer emphatically
insists that "By common consent the

nuisance than benefit, because Of It's
fragmentary application. The Oh

sympathy with the attitude Of rebel

"a decision adverse to daylight ex-

News, would have wiped off the

and ordinances providing for such ex-

among farmers and railroad employees

Mangosteens
In Philippine Islands
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star
l read in q recent issue of your
valuable paper an article on the
"Mangosteen." This wonderful and
rare fruit has been the subject of
much inquiry, but in no account of
the Mangosteen have l ever heard
the credit of it's production given to
our own beautiful, beloved Philippine
Islands. In the southern ports at
Jolo, in the "Sulu Archipelago" the
Mangosteen is found in sufficient
quantities to enable the shipping of
it to Mindanao, Manila and other
ports of the islands, and l have had
this delicate fruit on my own table
often.
Fortunate, indeed, is the native
Moro and Filipino who gather this
fruit to their hearts content, the
fruit for which queens have offered
ransom. The Mangosteen is only
one of many luxuries that abound in
abundance in these Gardens of the
Gods-the Philippine Islands.
