nation about taking care of my arm?
Sometimes it is not AS comfortable as

continue to pitch underhand If it is
natural for him to do so?"
The best way to take care OF your
arm is never to overwork it, Boys are
so prone to pitch to batters hour after
hour that they forget the human arm
has its limit Of endurance.
Should Conserve Strength.
A boy sometimes will pitch for the
Wei Siders in the morning and for the
Red Rovers in the afternoon. That
is 18 innings Of strain. if both games
are played for the legal limit. During

day is over. Mother is consulted and
the arnica bottle is brought into action.
The young pitcher bathes his arm in
arnica all day long. but he finds It
just as sore the following morning.
Because he is gritty and has promised
the Young Ansons that he will pitch
for them the next afternoon. he tries to
do so and In about 10 minutes finds his
arm so weak and sore that he can
scarcely lift it. His fun is spoiled for 4
month. In fact, he is lucky If he gets
his pitching arm back in a month.
The boy pitcher. as much as the pro-
fessional pitcher. must rest between
games. That is the way to take care of
the arm. When you have finished
pitching a game remember that YOU
have done a days work even if it is
appealing to pitch some more the same
afternoon.
Juveniles Need Rest.
There is nothing like rest and care
for the juvenile arm and there is
nothing that the juvenile despises more

A SENSIBLE COURSE

7. After all, the Board of Finance and Taxation had an opportunity to hear the story of members or the Roard of Education relative to the mooted construction of senior high school addition. This was victory for the school committee and com- mon sense. Those who opposed this reasonable exercise of justice to the school committee some time ago evil dntly came to realize that the surest way to undermine opposition to the school board plans was to deny to that body the same courteous con- sideration shown to other boards and citizens having business before the finance department.
 The result was as anticipated: A vote to indorse the high school plan; and it was SO recommended to the Common Council. The mayors oppo- sition before the finance board failed to outweigh the arguments of the school mmittee.
 At least two months delay is fore cast. And what of it. Ultimately the situation will be solved in the only Inensihle vav IT is our belief that the dirt will begin to fly at the present high school Eta by next spring.

TONGS AND BOMBS

A Chinese tong war is twin sis ter to a Chinese puzzle. The why and wherefore of these periodic outbreaks stultify the police and mystify the public. Only one thing is certain: Murderous attacks are quick and sure, most of them being successful. After period of war during which all Chinamen are prepared for any eventuality a truce is patched up and then life again is as before.
 While the tong war attained suc- cess in New York and Boston-the success being gauged, of course, by the number of yictims-stories in the newspapers during that period indi- cated that the bomb war in Chicago was no less effective. In one day some half q dozen Chicago gara ges and automobile filling stations were piastered with grape nuts;" and though the casualties were slim on that particular day, the damage was great.
 Tong warfare among the Chinese may be folly: but the tong scrap among racketeers In Chicago is just
