The moral effect of their eloquent
resolutions none will deny but it does
appear to a trained and vetern OBJ
server that the time for high sound
ing phrases and long-winded ciisser-
tations on the U. s. constitution has
about ended and the time for action
has arrived.
The A. f, of L. in one Of its Of
fetal publications says "the company
union is doomed" 1t asks, "Will the
workers hereafter reject every scheme
that denies them full freedom to as
sociate with their fellows? VIII the
public be lulled by the rhythm and
melody Of pleas that are socially I'M
sound?" .....
To the foregoing the A, +. Of L.
editor answers: "As long as the
workers depend upon industrial auto
Gratis and the public are lured by
phrases just so long will America
have discord and anarchy. :"
Making threats ana not following
them up as the A. F. of l.. offirials
are doing in the traction case is do
ing more to promote the very an
archy their own editor so strongly
condemns.

) one of Washington's most interest
ing bowling feuds. Teams composed
entirely OF brothers represented the
two families in a holly contested
series last season which was won
by the Donaldsons. The margin was
IS pins for Is games.
That was not decisive enough to
satisfy the Veihmeyers, nor the
Donaldsons, for that matter, so to-
day they snapped challenges for an.
other clash. Their emissaries will
meet shortly to arrange conditions.
Jess Veihmeyer, captain of his
family's team. has proposed that the
clans battle for a trophy that will
be returned to, competition annually.

Ard it wasn't an idle threat,
either. In an early season match
the King Pin Stars barely nosed
out the Cashmyers in a five.game
set at the King Pin. Ten pins was
the edge.
In the last encounter the King
Pin Stars won by a margin Of 106
pins. and they shot an ordinary set
to do it. Their total was 1892,
against 1855.

Children and grown-up people, too,
must feel the thrill Of success. They
must win now and then to be able to
go on living. The difference between
the child and the adult is that the
child plays to win and the adult plays
to increase his skill, to measure it
against anothers and, after fitting
struggle, to win If he can. And to lose
without hiding the fact from himself.
Hiding failure under mask of sue
cess is highly dangerous for child and
adult.
In order to correct a situation we
first must accept it as it is. Acknowl-
edge its existence. Then attack it with
all the power of mind and body and
destroy it. Bobbie must be taught
that failure is not disgrace. Help him
face the thing he fears, teach him how
to play his game and he will in good
time win his share. Neither he nor
his opponent can win all the time. The
game lies in the trying and the reward
in the Interpretation of the score.

Discovering some discrepancies in
the account of Mr.. Thomas, one of its
statesmen, the General Trade Co. called
him into conference. Confronted with
the evidence, Thomas confessed that
he had embezzled the money and had
squandered it.
Mrs. Thomas, his wife, was dis
traught at the news, and begged the
company not to prosecute her hus-
band. The officials agreed not to
prosecute, provided that Mrs. Thomas
agreed to convey to them property

property was duly drawn up and

Before the property was transferred
Mr.. Thomas deserted his wife, and
Mrs. Thomas, regretting the contract
she had executed to save her husband,
refused to sign the deed.
The company brought suit to com
pei her to make the conveyance, pro.
ducing the contract in court. Mrs.
Thomas explained the reason she
signed, and asked the court to relieve
her from her bargain.
The court declared the contract
void, stating:
"A bond, note or contract is void II
it Is given in consideration of with
holding a prosecution for a crime. II
the person involved is guilty of the
crime, then the plaintiff himself in
this case is guilty Of compounding a

Winning the Game.

For one reason or another Bobbie
was always being beaten at the game
he played. To his mother the strang-
est part Of the story was his boasting
after each defeat.
law can play rings round them.
You wait and see what do to them
tomorrow. I'll play them off the lot,
the big stiffs. II they don't cheat.
They never give you fair show. I'm
better than they are and they know
it. That's why they won't let me
win"
''Yes. but they never let the other
fellow have a show. That's why they
win. If put just a toe over the line
they call il out and they can put their
whole selves across and make it win.
But I don't care. / can run faster
than any of them. And jump farther,
too. I can fight any boy on the block
with one hand. They're all Jealous Of
me-"
For long time his mother thought
he really could hold his own with the
other boys. She had about made up
her mind to pay visit to the play
field and tell those boys what she
thought Of their cheating and their
injustice to her Bobbie, when she
heard him playing under the old wal
nut tree all by himself.
There jumped five steps. Beat
that if you can, Hen"
He ran back to the starting place
and rnade a running jump, keeping
well within his old line.
There. 1 told you that you couldn't
beat me. I'm some jumper. Now you
watch me-"
Again he raced back to the starting
line and made running jump, putting
all he had into the effort. Again he
barely reached the five-step line. He
drew a scratch line we'll beyond his
landing place, measured il with care
full steps and announced loudly, Seven
steps. Didn't tell you? That's more
even than Steve can do" Steve was
his hero and rival whom he accused Of
unfairly beating him at every game he
played.
Bobbie was unskillful at games. He
had failed and failed and to comfort
himself he had returned to the pro-
lection Of home and boasted about his
