Discipline Yourself


The goods of this world may
not be divided as they should be.
Perhaps you have, possibly
you haven't what you think
you're due.
What good does it do you
now to worry over what is lost?
It may be that you are ur-
fortunate as a money-maker.
On the other hand, you may
be a good money-maker but a
poor saver.
Perhaps you have never
grown up in a financial way.
AS a child, you wanted to
spend every cent that came into
your possession.
It has been the same through
out your life, but with larger
amounts.
You have not "stood "pros-
perity" very we'll.
You let your expenditures IN
crease with your earnings.
It has been easier to spend
as you went than to control
your desires.
You have had a fairly happy
time through life and never
burdened yourself with cares
that would have added to your
earning capacity.
You have had a good time
and bought all you could pay
for.
Now, your dose may be bitter,
but it is yours to take and you
will have to swallow it.
Procuring anything that is
worth while necessitateS self
denial in many ways; 1t means
Self f-diScipline.

Perhaps no invention by an
American has been recognized
ais so typical of the genius OF
this country as the telephone
what startles and frightenS
the backward European in the
United States" says Arnold
Bennett, "is the efficiency and
fearful universally Of the tele-
phone. To me it was the
proudest achievement Of the
American people" And yet the
inventor of the telephone, Alex
ander Graham Bell, although
ranked as an American IN
ventor, was born IN Edinburgh
Scotland, on March 3, 1847.
However, the great success
and enormously wide distribu-
ton of the telephone in the
United States is due, not only
to the inventor, but in equal
measure to characteristicslly
energetic American enterprise.
In this country there is ap-
proximately one telephone to
every nine persons! Its circuits
contain considerably more than
25,OOO,O0O miles of wire; and
the average number Of daily
messages transmitted through
the system is in excess of 35,-
100000. The United States
contains about rs per cent OF
all the telephones in existence!
After being in Edinburgh
and at London University, Bell

Plea Against World Court

Editor, Times:
Through your splendid paper
I would like to recommend to
all those Americans who are in
favor of the entry of the
United States into the World
Court and the League Of Ma
tions and of disarmament to
read "Since Then" by Sir
Philip Gibbs. Really a wonder
full book-telling in concrete
form of the different countries
involved in the World War,
their peoples, their joys and
sorrows and ambitions, the
patriotism that is depicted,
irreconcilables, n a I'll o nahtles
changed though not loyalty to
the mother country, and ask
themselves: Why form any en-
tangling alliances-"can any
good come Of it?"
And as for disarmament or
unpreparedness in any way
read of the Communists. Boil
sheviks and Socialists, their
methods to gain their ends
they are not disarming but pre-
pairing to carry on"
Let our country remain q
Republic-independent and free.
I hope my plea for my coun-
try will appeal to many.

For several seasons, the only Ques- tion has been which rockies would be kept for relief duty. But, when Joe Mccarthy, for five years man. ager of the Chicago Cubs, takes charge at St Petersburg late this month ,he will have plenty of prob- lems.
 Outficld Problem.
 Naturally, Joe is not worrying about Lou Gehrig at first, nor Babe Ruth and Earl Combs for the out field. For the other garden posi- tion, Dusty Cooke and Sammy Byrd must battle 1t out with Myril Hoag. Coast league star, and Fred Walker. South Atlantic league batting champ.
 While the Tank roster, as released by Henry. P. Edwards, manager of the American League Service Bureau, shows but one new infielder, Billy Werber, Duke college phenom. this youngster may provide considerable opposition for Lyn Lary. who played short most of last season. Werber batted .344 for Albany last year.
 Mccarthy can use Tony Lazzeri at either second or third and know Tony Is doing good job. Chances because Ben Chapman is better
 
 sacker.
 If Mccarthy starts the same in- field that Bob Shawkey employed at the close of the 1890 season he will have Joe Sewell, former Cleveland star, Jimmy Reese and Werbe as reserves. Robert Gibson, a 21-year- old first sacker, who was purchased from Memphis and optioned to Central league club last year will understudy Gehrig at first.
 Effective pitching is McCarthys chief worry. Charley Ruf1ing was the only consistent winner in 1930, of his 12 wins against second divi- sion clubs. None of the Yankee pitchers was able to come through with an earned run average better than four to a game.
 George Pipgras was counted upon as big winner this year but his op- eradon yesterday for appendicitis has shattered McCarthy's plan to build the staff around Pingras and ruffing. Pipgras will be unavailable until after the season is well under way and the operation may lessen his efficiency throughout the year. Henry Johnson. and Roy Sherid, other followers are in and cutters.
 Walsh Recalled.
 New mound talent includes Phil Welnert, Association star. Frank Barnes. International league south paw. Jim Weaver. Baltimore giant. George Miner.

 Custer's last stand in three acts will be re-enacted on alleys 3-4 to- night with Captain Joe Ttiklius emulating Custer while John Vaitu- kaitis and his crew will do an In- dian war dance and attempt to scalp Stiklius for three games.
 John is but games behind Stik- Illus. first place team, and at the rate that both teams have been going we look forward to fireworks of the highest order when these boys clash.
 Last week GriZkauskas sunk Stik- Illus for 2 out of 3 games while Vaitukaitis and company took all 3 games from our good friend, Charles Dubauskas.
 Charlie takes on Grizkauskas to- night and If they bowl the game that they arc capable of they should scat ter the naples to all corners of the alley for 2 or game win over Griz, unless captain Griz and his crew gum up the works by pulling their sensational 3 and 4 strikes and spares in a row stunts.
 Sheriff Jenusaitis with the aid of Bradunas, Satula, Billie Arnauskas, who rolled 126 the second game and scores of 120, 101, 108 for himself (Jenusaitis) managed to win from Father Kazlauskas and tie Stiklius for first place.
