ball player"
Wyatt Blackburn, IA, grammar school
student-4"I think either Ty Cobb or
Eddie Collins is the greatest man in
the world. l am not just sure which
one, but l believe it is one or the
other. Collins never was put off a
diamond and Ty is a clean ball player
that is called one of the best that ever
lived. ! am sure it is one of them"
W. M. French, taxi driver-"It is not
immodest for women to wear their
stockings rolled down. Any argument
otherwise is wrong. If they want to
expose part of their legs, it is their
business. Surely, it is not the place of
anyone else to tell the ladies how to
wear their clothes. If they want to
put their knees on exhibition it's O. X.
with me-"
d. N. Cluff, fruit store-"Apples are
undoubtedly round because they grow
that way after the shape of the earth
Scientists might say otherwise, but II
have a right to my own idea. l sell
apples. The earth goes round, too, and
of course that also helps knock off any
apple that was trying it's best to grow
corners that might start growing on an
round, like any well-behaved apple
should.
Hal Chase, high school student
Ball players are made through train
ing. Naturally, a boy must have good
physique before he can hope to becomel
a good ball player, but l believe that
practice and study are the deciding
factors that ultimately turn a recruit
into successful player. I don't think
ball players are born, as that term is
sometimes applied to born musicians.
G. w. Cook, night watchman-"I
don't think the girls and women wear
their dresses too short. / know many
perfectly good women and young girls

The Headquarters City.

Development of Washington as a
national headquarters city proceeds
steadily. Every few months some ad-
ditional organization votes to estab-
lsh here a central station" The
latest suggestion of this character is
that made by the National Associa-
ton OF Retail Druggists. The local
organization has sponsored the move
with high hopes of success. The ma
tional association, it is stated, has de-
cided to establish headquarters, and
the choice Of location has narrowed
down to Chicago and Washington, the
Capital enjoying IA decided margin of
approval. Decision in favor Of Wash.
ington is therefore expected, and in
that event a structure costing a
million dollars will be raised here for
the transaction of the business of this
organization.
The advantage Of a Washington
headquarters has been recognized by
many national organizations. AL
ready there are fully score, perhaps
more, Of these establishments. They
are here TO stay. They find IT pos
sible 10 transact their administrative
business effectively here, and at the
same time they are In a position to
keep IN close touch with Government
activities. The Washington date

fully appreciated by these eombina.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

radio law may be found to possess
powers reaching far beyond it's sup
posed Jurisdiction. Addressing a
church meeting in his home town at
BronXville, n. Y, the other night,
Commissioner Caldwell intimated that
the law dealing with radio interfer-
ences might easily be construed to
apply to purely local disturbances of
all kinds. IF, for example" he said,
"a householder here in Westchester
County is listening to a radio program
from New Jersey and an oil-burner in
his neighbor's house starts up, running
radio reception, that oil burner is in
terfering with interstate commerce
just as much as Il distant radio station
which was spelling the same wave
length. 1t was to eliminate interfer-
ence that the radio law was passed.
Sooner or later, the Federal authority
is going to be brought into local in
terference situations, including sign
ftashers, heating pads, toasters, vio-
let ray inVigOrators, vacuum cleaners
AMI childrens electric trains.

The brothers Van Swerlngen-Oris
Paxton and Mantis James-who are
now doing battle before the Interstate
Commerce Commission on behalf of
their new Chesapeake & Ohio-Erie-
Pere Marquette Railroad merger, were
real estate dealers in Cleveland as
recently as IL years ago. They broke
into the transportation game more
or less by accident. If the Van SWer-
ingens bring off their merger plan
they will dominate a new Eastern
trunk-line system of 5000 miles,
stretching between the Atlantic and
the Great Lakes and worthy rival

are in attendance. Then there will
be general family migration. Few
Of our statesmen remain in Wash

recess, although those from regions
not far from the Capital dash in and

open the e.year round Secretaries and

al Smith and Vermont.

"Al Smith for President" clubs are
springing up around the country de-
spite the fact that Gov. Smith and
Judge Olvany, the Tammany leader,
insist that the governor is not a can
didate for any office. The latest pro
posal Of such an rganiZation, made
to Judge Olvany by a neighbor Of
President Coolidge in Vermont, nearly

slogan, Save the surface and you

as sales opaganda. it was but the
veriest truth. and, as such, struck
the common sense Of the public.

Of good quality not only saves wood,
but it cleans and seals in germs,

A survey of any community, how

This Washingtonian. it is only fair
to say, would be actuated by no NAL
ice or meanness, in this seemingly
bloodthirsty proceeding.
Actually, he is the mildest of men,
and it is to be presumed that in the
form of a triple-plated Jack Dempsey
he would be practically the same sort
of fellow.
His blows, threfore, would be i'm
PEELED with no ordinary spleen, nor
with a common sort of anger. He
would be above such things.
Prejudice alone would guide his
mighty paw.
The short hook with the left would
go crashing home with love, and the
straight right would administer the

He would be free and unrepressed,
without inhibitions. He would listen
to radio speakers, and if their delivery
offended him he would journey to
the broadcast station and meet
them as they issued from the front
door
Men who deliberately hogged seats
in public vehicles would be forcibly
torn therefrom, and put to sleep in
the aisle.
Unnecessarily rude persons, crouch
es of all sorts. particularly those in
stores and public places, would scarce
ly know what happened to them.
This Jove Of the cities would func'
ton at all times and places. He would
be above ordinary rules, and no man
could stand against him. He would
have unlimited funds to pay fines, and
a personality which would charm
judges and juries.
His deeds would be universally
recognized as those deserved chastisc-
ments which a good man would mete
out, If he really acted as he wished,
in the ordinary walks OF life, but
which he is at present prevented from
administering, by reason of civiliza-
ton and a few other considerations.

Slaps for Kerensky Symbolic
OF Present Russian Situation

Alexander Kerensky's experiences
in America, especially slaps he re-
ceived first from a Russian radical
and then from a Czarist enthusiast,
seem to observers here symbolic of
Kerensky's own character and of the
situation in Russia. where nothing is
moderate and everything is extreme.
Every time Kerensky gets bumped
he should know that he stands in the
waJ of extreme oscillation suggests
the Lansing State Journal, which ex-
plains that he ''is trying to occupy a
middle position as to Russia and there
is in fight Of that kind. There never
is in fight of that kind. The middle
position will yet come TO be occupied
just as pendulum comes to rest at
the middle but for a static body to
try to occupy the middle position be-
fore the swinging is done is to get
bumped"
'It seems to be the fate of some
men," observes the Omaha World
Herald, always and forever to be
getting slapped. When they are not
suffering the buffets of outrageous
fortune they are enduring the spite
full smackS of the outraged courtiers
of fortune. Almost invariably it is
the kind who always tried to do what
was right and never Intentionally
harmed anybody in his life who un-
dertake to weigh justice evenly be-
tween two hostiles, who seek to op-
pose passion with moderation. Such
was the fate of the Girondists in the
French Revolution. Such has been
the fate of Kerensky, representa-. the
middle ground between the social and
economic injustice of the old order
and the excesses of the Bolshevik
revolution in Russia"
The Lincoln State Journal records
that it is the Russian emigres. who
have suffered the loss of their po-
sitions, friends and property, who slap
him publicly, and spit upon him as a
Weakling who began something he
was unable to finish" And the Bay
City Times Tribune adds: "He had a
golden opportunity, after the Car was
overthrown. but, through his weak
management, Lenin and Trotsiy rose
to power, and Kerensky slipped out
of the picture. He cannot expect Rus
sia or any other country to follow his
beckoning now. His failure has left
many enemies for the man. They in
clude both the followers of the Old
Czarist regime and of the present
Soviet rule"

Grated and congratulated" suggests
the Forth Worth Star.Telegram. 1T is

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The man who is no beauty himself
ought to refrain from disliking any
one else merely upon the score of i'll
favor, but actually that very thing is
very common.
Theoretically, such a man ought to
remember his own mug and take pity
on the face of the other, but actually
a man resents traits in other physiog-
Monies, even if his own is Il perfect
Semblance of a pig.
A prominent Washingtonian has
confessed that he would like to be-
lieve in the theory Of the transmit
grafton of souls. If he could feel sure
that he would be blessed in his next
appearance in the world by being
given the fistic powers Of Il triple
Dempsey.
lie firmly holds the belief--and it
is not an uncommon One~-that Jack
Dempsey was the greatest sOcker
that ever graced the ring.
This Washingtonian would like to
have three times the punch that
Dempsey had in his prime. and may
yet have. although many doubt that.
He wants to be able to knock down,
at sight. every man who offends him.
either in appearance or action. He
would do it, too.
He wants to have the physical
power to be his own judge, and the
money to purchase his way out of
duress if he should be thrown into
such by the all-powerful hand Of the
law, at the behest of ill-used persons
Of ugly faces or actions.

Our Washingtonian is not saying
that his actions, in his theoretical
next state, would be either Christian
or gentlemanly. He doubts very
much that even in their sublime mo-
ments, and there might be a few of
those, his powerful socks to the jaw
could be construed in any other light
than assault and battery.
Let the warrants for arrest fall
where they may, he says, he Graves
the ability to haul off and soak, on
sight, every man who offends his
esthetic tastes. or who acts the hog
in public, or who insults any one. or
who just deserves a good beating on
general principles.

is incumbent upon any one who would
undertake such a role, even in the
guise of a transmigration. In fact,

phoSis of souls as of bodies.

his immortal soul.
His body, however, lacks and has
