Overheard at Ball Game

The home team was one run to the bad. The heavy hitter strode (heavy hitters always strode, you know) to the plate, a look of de- termination on his face.
 Pandemonium broke loose( as it has way of doing) in the stands. The fans clapped. whoop- ed, hollered, whistled. stamped their feet and pounded to encour- age him to Babe Ruth.
 Three times the ump's arm shoi out, indicating three holes in the air, and the heavy hitter headed for the bench, but he didn't strode toward 1t.
 "A ell of a lot of good noise gone to waste" growled an ex- hausted fan as he sank back into his seat.

PUTTING THE CHURCH IN POLITICS


 Consider few such statements as the following:
 The New York wet organization twice prevented the nomination by
 the Democratic Party of logical
 dry candidate for the Presidency.
 The method of building up Gov
 Smiths candidacy has been without
 parallel in United States political
 history. Republican papers have
 printed leaded large-type editorials
 insisting upon his nomination.
 The best service that Democrat
 render the Democratic Party in
 the present situation is to register
 an effective protest at the ballot
 box.
 Do these statements from col umn of political chitchat or the editorial pages of a political weekly or a daily newspaper? Mo- these are the com ments of an organized group of church. men. They come from the latest clip sheet of the Methodist Board of Tenn peranee, Prohibition and Public Morals
 We told that the Methodist Church is not in politics. But the Methodist Board is in politics It is up to it's ears, and has been for some time in political gossip in political prophecy and in political elaboration
 How does it happen that the Metho- dist Board of Temperance Prohibition and Public Morals takes a hand in politics? Has 1t been authorized to take hand by the millions of Ameri- cans who are members of the church. or is it merely dabbling for itself?-(New York World)

Combining all the ciosed-caE az
vantages Of the sport cabriolet with
the open-car features of the roadster,
this latest offering OF the world s

OF two to four passenger capacity,
the convertible cab with the top up
resembles the sport cabriolet in ap.

collapsible and folds so completely
out of the way that full vision ahead
is possible from the rumble seat. An
additional feature is the inclusion OF
q nickel banding around the windows

TRUCK AND BUS
OUTPUT SHOWS
St RENGTH

DETROIT, Mich, May For the
first time in many weeks truck and
bus output gave some recent ind.
cation OF strength when current
schedules for many of the chief pro.
6ucers were slightly increased &C
cording to B. III. Cram, president OF
Grams Automotive Reports, Inc,
Industry authority.
This increased activity was not
! limited to any one class or type OF
truck but was apparently a general
development affecting the entire
branch of the industry.
Light delivery unit output was in.
creased by Chevrolet's step-up in
schedules, with that companys com
mercial output estimated at Il per
cent of its total production. liIavy
truck production also gained con-
@iderably while bus output is nearly
normal for the first time In months.
How long this improved condition
will last is impossible to say. Pos
sibly it is more or less sporadic
movement, and no particularly
favorable condition is seen upon
which any marked further improve
ment might be based.
Despite production increases, the
sales StIuaLtOH SHOWS comparatively
little change. The whole tone Of
the market is decidedly sluggish,
with no indications of any radical
changes for the better. Despite
earlier expectations, the agricul.
tural territories have not been the
source of the greater part Of the
truck business The industrial cen
tiers continue to furnish the best
markets. with a steady demand for
light delivery models which con.
tinue to be the industry's saving
factor.
No particular sales decline is
anticipated during the summer
months. and ii is quite possible
that the autumn will result in the
best volume of business this branch
of the industry has known during
the last two years This idea is
based on the assumption that good
crops will not only guarantee a
sufficient volume of purchasing
power. but will create a need for
this type of product that it will be
iYnnossible to ignore.

Guiding Your Child

By Mrs. Agnes Lyme

Now and then for little day or
| a little hour, every mothers child
| needs to feel, without necessarily be-
| ing aware of it. that he holds first
place in his mothers love.
In a family where , the mother
loves all her children with fairly
| equal love, this happens quite natur-
ally and quite unconsciously. The
child who is i'll, the birthday child,
or the child who has won some spe-
cial honor in the class room or on
the athletic field gets the center OF
| the stage, and his due measure OF
attention, gifts or praise.
But in homes in which, as fire.
quently happens. there is great dis
crepancy in the amounts OF love the
various children receive, the mother
must be acutely conscious of this
need of every child to be first some
! times, She must try in manner and
in ritual to make up in some degree
| for the spontaneous feeling which
she lacks. If she does not do this.
the less loved child will feel the
situation with cruel senstiveness.
Gertrude and Helen were sisters.
Their mother loved Gertrude best.
Her birthday was an Occasion. 1t
was heralded by secret preparations
and the rustlings of tissue paper.
The day itself was one OF party
frocks, masses of flowers and high
festivity.
Helen's yrthday was marked by
TO Acitement in the air. At the
breakfast table few hasty packa ges
appeared, and at supper there was
birthday cake It was a half
hearted, make shift affair. The last
drop OF disillusionment was reached
When Helen discovered lying on her
sisters dressing table on the morn
ing after her own birthday. the
counterpart of the blue beads her
mother had given her the day be
fore. IT was clear that not even this
once had her mother thought solely
OF her.
Such experiences leave all toe
clear Impressions or he childish
mind. They are more than the pass
ing priclss of isappointmen'. They
Influence profoundly the individual :
valuation of himself. They may very
well induce in him feelings OF in
feriority which blight his faith in
his ability to achieve success IN
work They may inspire deep dis
trust in his a lily to win love or
