Resignation and Faith.

Widespread attention is commanded
by the joint lawsuit of five young woman
residents OF Newark. N. j.. and its
suburbs for compensation for insidious
and apparently fatal poisoning incurred
by them while engaged In painting illu-
minated watch dials with a radioactive
compound. All five, according to the
best medical opinion obtainable. are
literally facing an early death. All are
suffering from pernicious anemia, al
though some are not entirely inactive.
Even more widespread is the attention
gained by the fact that every one of
these pitiful unfortunates. young in
years but old in so far as their approach
TO the end is concerned. finds her reli-
gious faith. affirmed in childhood, the

War Mothers Voyage
Held Useless Journey

TO the Editor OF The Star:
Some time ago, an article appeared
In the papers regarding trip to Europe
for the War Mothers" to visit the
graves of their sons. / just thought at
the time what fine thing 1t would be
If the money expended on such fruit
less, useless journey could be expended
for the benefit of the wounded var
veterans. Such trip would only bring
back the saddest of memories and re-
open wounds that are now partially
healed or as far as such wounds could
ever be healed.
II the war Mothers" realized how
many of our war veterans do not get
compensation and how many do not
even have the necessities of life, I
wonder how many Of them would care
to take such trip~~a trip that would
cost thousands of dollars and benefit
no one.
There are hundreds of our wounded
men who draw no compensation what
ever, on account of certain laws and
bills that have been passed specifying
that their disability was not incurred
in the line of duty" They are al
lowed treatment in the hospitals, but
as soon as 1t Is found they are in
durable or that nothing further can be
done, the obligation of the Government
is ended and they are left to get on as
best they can.
If an overseas man is sick or dis
abled, on account of hardships or pri-
vations suffered during the war period
then he should get compensation, re-
gardless of created" laws.
II the war Mothers" would put
forth an effort to have Congress enact
law that would give every overseas
man who was wounded, or disabled in
any way, compensation. and also put
forth an effort to have established a
home for the shell-shocked men, in
stead of "herding" them into asylums.
and see that our blind are properly
cared for, how much better 1t would be
than to have law enacted that would
give these estimable ladies a free ride
to Europe, just to view lot OF green
mounds that would only tend to deepen
the sorrow.
II any OF Our heroic men could
speak for themselves, they would say.
Alleviate the suffering of those who
are living who have to live and carry
on." BERTHA CUSTER

Base Ball Expenses
Called a Problem

From the Hartford Daily Ceurant
George Herman Ruth, commonly
known as Babe" Is under three
years contract to play for the New York
Yankees. Rogers Hornsby has just
signed a three years contract with the
Boston Braves by which he will receive
$40. 900 year for playing and 5000
more as captain. a grand total of $l2l.-
500 for the term OF the agreement,
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands. high
commissioner OF base ball. gets $65 900
year and his contract has some years
to run. The New York Giants are
spending something like $4,000 for
Spring training in the South. The New
York Yankees recently paid 100000 for
the release of two players.
These are a few of the outstanding
items of preSent-day expenditures of the
national game. Salaries are, in many
cases. unreaSonably large. Ditto ex-
penses. The result is that the public
has 10 pay the freight and 1t costs real
money TO see a major league game. 10
say nothing of the increased prices for
the world series. The tickets to big
league games are put at such a figure
that Young America does not find it
easy to raise the price OF admission,
even to the bleaelIers.
It Is no wonder that some of the
bene0ciaries of the present high salary
standard are anxious TO have something
done to encourage the youth of the land
to play base ball, as they did in the days
when IL was the fayorite sport of nearly
every Schoolboy. 1t is from the ranks OF
the young players that the coming pro-
feSSionalS must be recruited. With the
fading away of the Sandlot. the disap-
pearance OF the little spots where BOYS
were wont 10 play. owing to the con-
gestion coming with the development of
American cities. the youth OF the land
are turning to other things. Then add
the inability TO pay what the moguls
of the games charge to see the big fell
lows in action and the taste of the boy
for base ball is naturally disappearing.
Those who are thinking of the future
OF the professional game may well give
serious attention TO the problem of en-
couraging interest I'm the sport They
could help in It's solution by urging a

that the peasant revolt bore no rela-
