IN Dreyfuss, the owner OF the
Pittsburgh Pirates, with their
enviable historic base ball record,
was one of the National League
owners who filed objections to the
lively base ball used in the league in
1890. He thought there were too
many home runs and that the
batters we're getting all the gravy.
What sils you fellows this yesr?"
was asked one of the Pittsburgh
PLAYERS today. Cant bit" was the
lsconic reply.

With the shock of utter suddenness in the pass ing of Dwight Morrow goes pang which all men will share That unversality of trust and affection was the finest trbute-to charm and character as well as the genius of the man. Lawyer, banker, diplomat statesman, with one role evolving into another and that last-named newly growing, his record is written high in many friends. To the gifts of fine bran-snapt in sleep-were wed the impulses of a great heart
 There many facets to that shining career. Not least memorable the conquest over usual contradictions, winning confidence in so many di- verse quarters which commonly might distrust one who had spent Is years as a corporation lawyer and l3 Morgan partner But spontaneous trust dsarmed any such antiquities
 Calvin Coolidge, konwing intimately his wide capabilities, did his other Amherst classmates, chose well in sending Morrow to unravel the long tangled web of relations with Mexico. That patiently triumph struck new note in diplo- benefited greatly because all in Mexico found him so my simpatco" It the flowing of gifts more quietly evinced in law and finance.
 It was the deep legal mind which in a Senate contest made downright choice not for political advantage but in combat of that which it considered an excrescence upon the Constitution

NATIONAL CHAMBER SUGGESTS
 PROGRAM.

The setting up of national economic council creation of privately sustained insurance systems against unemployment, the establishment of em- ployment exchanges and other measures to give greater stability to the national business fabric are recommended in the report of the United States Chamber of Commerces Committee on Continuity of Business and Employment submitted to the Board of Directors meeting in Washington recently.
 The committee of which Henry l. Hartman, of Boston, is Chairman, presents it's conclusions in three categories-causes of the depression, long time measures for dealing with fluctuations in business and the emergency aspects of the present situation.
 After reviewing the effects of earlier cyclical de- pressions some of which were much more acute than the present, the committee formulates more or less general conclusions It dscredits the assump ton that technologcal development has resulted in the permanent reduction of employment by way of substituting machines for labor It condemns mani pulative speculation which leads to imitation or depression and recommends that commodity and security exchanges take steps to prevent it. It suggests stringent regulation of credit, urges that every possible step be taken for international disarmament and emphasizes the importance of agriculture in the national economy.
 Discussing longtime measures the committee mentions among other subjects the following: ball. ancing of production and consumption, modification of the antitrust laws to permit under supervision, voluntary agreements regarding production and dis trbution the establishment of a national economic council with advisory functions industrial planning by individual concerns and trade associations; un- employment, sickness, accident and old age insur- ance based upon definite previously estab- lished shorter hours of labor
 Immediate measures for meeting the problem of unemployment include centralized local organization for providing employment following the lines of the so-caled Rochester plan; central registration of workers seeking employment planning and axecu- tion of public works.
