BASEBALL ON THE SABBATH

The first Sunday baseball game ever given in Boston brought 3S.ooo people into the ball park. This hap pened only last Sunday. There prob ably would have been q considera bly fewer number of spectators present had it not been for the fact that the Boston baseball team involved-the Braves--had started the league race with unexpected strength. Indeed, they happened to be at the top of the standing.
 Compared with the population of Boston and vicinity. however. this was not a huge assemblage. Boston. it must be remembered, brides itself upon possessing a population round and about of around 1,5o0,Ooo-if not more. The percentage Of people who "desecrated the Sabbath" by at- tending this professional baseball game, therefore. was slight.
 There was a much larger percen- tage who amused themselves by cruising around in private convey ances: only this is not regarded as objectionable, for some reason. AS a matter of fact, the number of peo- pie who work at the myriads of fill ing stations on Sunday-the best gasoline sale day of the week greatly outnumbered those who at- tended the baseball game in Boston. And of this, too, one hears no ob- jectiona

 Q. Can you tell me the difference between concerto" symphony and sonata?
 A. A concerto in modern usage, is an elaborate work for a solo in- strument with orchestra. A sym phony" is an orchestral piece in three movements, for overture or in- dependent use. It is different from suite in not being confined to dance music, and usually avoids dance music altogether. A sonata originally meant a piece for instru- ments alone. contrasted with a con- tata which was to be sung. It has since developed along specific tech nical lines.
 Q. What is I.ata or Latah?
 A. An hysteric neurosis. locally prevalent in Java. It is nearly iden- tical with the disorder of 'the jump ers' in Maine and Canada, and with the Miryachit of Siberia. It is a form of hypnotism. the will of the patient being subject to the will of another person.

 Q. What is the origin Of the name "Des Moines"? l A. It is French corruption oi an Indian word and means "The river of the monks.
 Q. How can the planets be dis tinguished from the stars?
 A. The planets have sensible discs. whereas the stars appear al mere points of light.

 A. No poison will kill bats be. cause they will not eat anything but living food. The best way to keer bats out of the house is to close UT all means of entrance which they have been using.

THE PROBLEM OF THE USED
 CAR
By Marshall Bonner

By Marshall Bonner
 The problem of the used car be- comes a national menace compar- able only with the old plague of the seven-year locusts, of what to do with the second hand cars
 For years, automobile manufac- turers have been confronted with the problem of what to do with the sec- ond .hand cars turned in for new ones. The fact that they have given any money at all on secondhand cars shows what public-spirited crowd the manufacturers are. It is like giving money for the return of water on the knee. When they get their old cars back, what are they to do with them? They can't eat them that is, not unless they have been boiled down to practically nothing.
 Some one has suggested that they be fitted with potted plants and used to decorate the public parks, or stuffed with almond meats and used as favors. There is no sense in dis cussing these solutions. They are obviously too silly. However, we may come back to them if we can't think of something else.
 Certain it is that there are a treat many more used cars than there are used dryers A dealer in the Middle West had so many used cars out behind his garage that he closed his house and brought his family down to live in the cars-one car for the living room. one for the dining-room and, without mention ing any names. one for brushing the children's teeth in. The only trouble vas that the smaller children kept falling off the running boards and hurting themselves and it was dtffi- cult getting the winters coal into the car used for the cellar. The coal men had to toss it in. piece by piece. Of course, the dealers sooner or later send the used cars back to the factory. but that just puts the prob lem off on the factory. A factory is supposed to make cars not serve az a Bide-A-Wee Home for them. sev- eral factories have had to suspend operations on new cars altogether in order to make room for the old ones. Several manufacturers have asked me: What are we to do?" And my answer always has been: What would LincolI have done? (Net the Lincoln Company-the other Lin- coln) You manufacturers are con fronted by one of the biz problems of the ase. Let's sit down and talk this thing over sanely as one man to another"
 And when we sit down. we al- ways cont back to the suggestion, discarded earlier in this study of the situation. that the used cars be stuffed with almond meats and used for favors. But then, a lot of people don't like almonds!

Argentina" helping to create mers farm diaicuities. Though 1t is better to have too much wheat than too lt- tie. this philosophy doesn't do the soil.tillers any good.
 Helping the farmer, by the way. has become one of the administra- tion's most assiduously performed tasks. It has become evident that one of the objects of the Federal Reserve board has been to provide easy money for the farmers by late spring and early summer. This would re- quire q shift of position from that recently taken. and 1t is said to be possible after the present object of the stiff rates has been attained. But if the stock market refuses to liquidate the F. k. B. will be con- fronted with an even more difficult problem. In other words, If interest rates remain high during July and August-which seems likely-the problem of financing the 1929 crops is sure to be serious.
 The question is now being 1gitat- ed in Washington whether it will be possible for the reserve banks to pro- vide special rediscount rates applicable only to transactions in farm products. If something of the sort isn't done scarcely anything that Congress will enact in the realm of farm relief will counteract the imposed upon agriculture by the present interest rates.

THE ROOT OF
ALL EVIL
BY Lucy Lowell

TT was not, if you will call the
i words to mind, money itself
which the great Paul declared to
be the root of all evil. Instead,
it was the love of money. And
by this / Believe he meant the
greed of gain. lust of possessing
things. The deadly, stupefying
clutch of materialism which steals
upon the spirit and warps the
mind, making of 1t substance as
hard and cold as clinking dollars.
1t is a mistake not to want
money--some money. For money
helps to purchase things so well
worth while: Leisure, beauty, edu-
cation. 1t was Robert Louis Stew
enson who said something of the
sort, and he added that he wished
money since he believed that he
would know how to use it.
Money" he wrote, "enters in
two different characters into the
scheme of life. A certain amounts
varying with the number and ems
apire of our desires, is a true neces-
sity for each one of us in the pres
ent order of society; but beyond
IOaI amount hOley 1S COAi"
modify to be bought, a luxury in
which we may either indulge or
stint ourselves. like any other.
And there are many luxuries
that we may legitimately prefer
to it, such as a grateful con-
science, a country life, or the
woman of our inclination.
"Prite. flat and obvious as this
conclusion may appear, we have
only to look round us in society
to- see how scantily it has been
recognized; and perhaps even our
selves, after little reflection, may
decide to spend a trifle less for
money and indulge ourselves a
trifle more in the article of free
DOM"
The point, as see it, is whether
what you spend for money is
worth what it buys. And this is
a point to be considered by those
who spend their youth and hopes
and aspirations in acquiring that
which never can give back these
things.

BROWN EYES.
HOW HOSTESS
MAY SIN

A hostess cardinal sin is to
make a guest feel she is being
done a favor, in the opinion of
Hazel Rawson Cades, in an
article entitled, "WiH You Walk
Into My Parlor?" in the Woman's
Home Comranion.
While every guest and every
visit is different, says the writer.
nevertheless a general rule for
those entertaining is to make the
visitor feel that the hostess is
sharing the hospitality with
the guest Among the things
Miss Cades advises young hos
tesses to watch most closely are:
Combinations of people who at.
tend; carefully defined time
limits in invitations: apprising
guests as to activities they may
expect: and in general exercise of
executive ability by the hostess
Real hospitality has nothing
to do with pocketbooks or cater
ers or ice cream in the shape of
water liIlies," says Miss Cades.
"Often people have more fun at
an impromptu party than they
do at the most formal dinner. "
Picnics on the beach or Inc the
woods are suggested as of par
ticular charm during the warm
months.
Don't confine yourself to the
same old crowd" she continues.
"They are apt to talk about the
same old things at your house on
Friday that they talked about at
Sally Smiths on Wednesday" :"
