TAKE NOTE OF
AIMEE'S WORK

SAN FRANCISCO, June II Rl--
Just how far the Episcopal church
may go in emulating the form OF

Mcpherson, Los Angeles evangelist,

closing Of the national congress or

of st. Paul's church, Brooklyn, de-
clared that the FpiscCtal cnurcn

For month this spring Joe Harris

more than spectator. The Pirates
started with a splurge, winning
seven out OF the first eight games.
Then came a severe slump. Bush's

Mystery OF League
How did Ill the American leagu"
teams waive on First Baseman Joe
Harris?
That thought occurred to me very
strongly last winter when the wire
reports carried the information that
Pittsburgh had taken Joe Harris
ever the waiver route from WASH
ington
During the past month have
given more consideration ito the
matter, and since Harris has been
starring for Pittsburgh. the answer

errors while the losers were playing

the ages of eight and twelve.

Pirate Took Chance

Despite his great ability as a
batsman seven American league
clubs passed up the chance to ge.
Harris when Washington asked fer
waivers and Pittsburgh was the only
National league club shat was
willing to take a gamble with Harris
at the waiver price.
Manager DOME Bush, Who starred
as an American league player FOR
years, was familiar with the true
worth of Harris as j Datsman,
otherwise he might have skidded on
to the minors.

sent Joe Harris to first.
The day that Bush shifted
Harris to first base the Pirates

straight games that eventually
carried them to the tcu of the
National league race.
Harris Could BE Used
During a recent winning ss1eaH
of the Pirates Harris made % hits

able performance. During that
stlrtch he at one time reached first

American league there are several

Too Much Lending

Thomas w. Lamont and Herbert
Hoover think that the bankers of
this country should loan less money
abroad, the latter suggesting that
loans be restricted to productive
activities.
Secretary Kellogg does not agree.
He says that the State Department
is glad to approve loans provided
they do not interfere with public
interest, and that it has been APP
proving them regardless of whether
they were for productive activities
or to help governments.
Loans have a direct bearing on
our foreign relations especially II
they are made to a government, a
municipality or some other political
subdivision.
Not little of the i'll will which
exists toward the United States to-
day is traceable to the money other
people owe us!
There is such a thing as, becoming
too much a creditor for ones own
good.

Temper Reveals

1t takes temper to bring out such
untrolled passion.
There is obviously more in the at.
mosphere than trade unionism or
the rights of trades unionism could
possibly provoke.
The idea Of calling general strike
such as occurred last year and of
preventing one by bill such as the
government has introduced reveals
a bigger issue than could rise over
wages or the right of working men
to organize.
Though it may seem purely In
dustrial, England's trouble goes
back to her system of castle and
class.

" Says:
England Has Come to
q Dangerous
Crisis.
By NJ. r. Tracy

England has come to dangerous
crisis. No other construction can
be put on the way the House Of
Commons went to pieces when the
anti-strike bill was introduced last
Monday.
Dignity was thrown to the winds.
The pcmp and ceremony of 700 years
counted for nothing. Instead of
holding a frank and serious discus
sion such as this bill deserved, the
House of Commons vented its feel
igs in a medley of violent epithets.
Two members were elected and a
dozen should have been.
The Honorable Thomas Griffiths
shouted Robbers, thieves, black
guards" as he was led out of the
hall.
Pointing to Attorney General
Hogg, the Honorable Jack Jones
cried at is Hogs bill and he is
we'll named"
Even the Honorable Will Thotne,
whose manners are generally be-
yond reproach, yelled Thieves and
liars" on one occasion.

South is playing No Trump con-
tract and, the Eight of Clubs being
led, Dummy would win the first
trick with the Ten; Declarer, looking
for game, would then see that one
more Club trick assured and only
one Heart trick possible, it is
necessary to make three Diamond
tricks and three Spade tricks. The
odds in. favor of making three Spade
tricks are three to one, because in
only one deal out Of four will five
cards of an adverse suit be divided
so that four are in one adverse hand,
upon the position of the adverse
King. Declarer therefore should
plan to finesse the Diamonds twice
and to make up the Spat 5, losing
one Spade. In this way the game
can be made if the Diamond illnesses
succeed. Dummy will only get one
more lead, so one Diamond flnesse
must be tried at once.

read:
On trick 2, North should lead the
Two of Diamonds, and South should
play the Queen of Diamonds. If De-
clsrer win trick ?, on trick 3 he
should lead "a Spade.
A good plan of procedure would
be trick 81 to lead the Ace of Spades
from Closed Hand; (trick ~ follow
with a small Spade and Duck. With
the Club returned (as would doubt
less be the case), the Spades would
be established and Dummy would
have the King of Spades as an entry
for the second Diamond finesse.

More Trees-Fewer Floods

VndrIes-Lathrop Pack, president of the American
Tree Association. comes forward with new idea
relative to floods
Reforestation on large scale, he says would
cut down our flood pers enormously.
Here is his argument; deforested areas shed
rainfall The soil absorbs little water; rivers. in
consequence go over their banks in the spring time
In foresed areas the is true The ground acts
as sponge, and the rivers do not rise so high AS
result, there are fewer floods
We believe Mr. Pack is right This adds one
more to the many valid arguments for nationwide
reforestation efforts

Caste Counts

1t is common to call England a
democracy, because she has an cleo
tive parliament and her people en-
joy the right to vote. 1t is common
to describe her king as n figurehead
and her nobility as exercising little
influence.
The point is. however, that her
social order remains about as it was
100 or even 200 years ago and that
it confuses her political and in
dustrial order. Socially, England is
st.1 a land of class distinction and
these distinctions complicate every
problem that arises.

Reminder in Flood

The Mississippi flood is a grim
reminder of where we could have
used some of our surplus wealth to
good advantage.
Admitting that there has been an
unusual amount Of rain this spring,
and that it has covered an unusually
large area, admitting that the Missis-
sippi River has reached a higher lev
ell than was ever known. this disas-
ter is still traceable to incompe-
tence. lack of vision and neglect.
Had we used only a small part of
the money we have loaned abroad,
we could have prevented such wide
spread misfortune in the Mississippi
valley, and perhaps some of the
disagreeable attitude which our for
eign loans have caused.

A New Rollo Book

In the interest of realism the testimony now
being given in the trial of one James Armitage for
something called contempt of court should be pub
shed as the latest Indianapolis edition of a Rolo
book.
The boys of this city should learn the real path
to success and fame and perhaps fortune.
And in this city the old Rollo rules seem to
have gone wrong and all out of date. The path OF
the cid virtues seems to have become as out OF
date as the corduroy roads the Indian trails the
towpaths
How inspiring is the new revelation and IL not
inspiring how intensely practical and effective
The new Rollo story starts in the same old
way-a poor boy working hard for meager wage.
But the added chapters are strangely changed

houses that are frequently raided then elevation to
the management of the police that had so often
been inquistve not to say violent in their actlvl-
ties This is the new Indianapolis way of securing
the admiration and alteration and devotion OF the
best people of the city,
For in this trial, and when character witnesses
are needed, there appear former mayor to testify
to the good character of the hero.
Comes also the former head of the Bar Associa-
ton of this city and leader in civic activities OF
religious nature tell the court of the high nteg-
rity of the man who had found his path to fame
through this new city jungle.
Could who had followed the old plan of
clinging to the fundamental virtues and principles
have marshaed imposing array of witnesses?
Could any youth have desired more in the early
autumn of life than to be able to summon to his
aid those whom not only the city had honored but
who have been selected by voluntary organizations
dedicated to law and order and responsibility?
Some civic organization dedicated to the train
ing of youth and it's inspiration should at once ar
range to print in full the testimony in this case,
which reveals the modern story of success, certain
guide to fame and honor and the good opinion Of
the leadership
The youth of the city should not be left in
ignorance that the world has changed and that

Opportunities at Home

The idea that we need to seek
outside markets for our surplus cash
is absurd.
This country has not yet arrived
at such state of development and
perfection that it cannot make good
use of all it's spare change.
1t goes without saying that our
industrial system calls for more or
less money abroad, but that does
not mean that we need to become a
loan office for every State, or city,
or political faction that wants to
borrow.
AS a matter of common sense, 1t
means quite the reverse.
AS a matter of common sense. we
ought to be strengthening our bust
ness interests throughout the world,
instead of using our wealth to get
tangled up in politics.
