Hay Fever Pollen a Mile High.

Hay fever Is an American nuisance
that all the efforts of medical science
have been incapable of abating. Some
progress has been made through spe-
cine treatments, but still the sneezing
season in August and September re-
mains sore trial and tribulation to
multitudes of people. Just as soon
as certain vegetable growths, partic-
ularly weeds. start to flower and pollen
spreads through the air the agonies
begin Energies are depleted. DISPOSE
lions are soured. Life Is Just one
distress after another.
When aviation reached the point OF
development at which it was possible
for people to ride through the air, not
merely as an adventure but as a means
OF transportation, there was some hope
that 1t would be feasible for hay fever
sufferers to find relief in the cleaner
upper strata Of the atmosphere where
the pollen does not float Some OPP
timists felt that the predisposition ito
hay fever might be corrected definitely
and perhaps permanently by occasional
fiighA. This hope. however, is now

Roaring at the Lions.

No reasonable man will dispute the
Court, did the right thing In refusing
to punish the man who went out and
celebrated his birthday by roaring at
the lions in the Zoo. There Is q rugged
havior which deserves commentator.
And eVhile Judge Schuldt was forced to
observe the proprieties by administer
ing the appropriate judicial admonition,
It was obvious that he, too, felt that
bond of human sympathy that binds
all of us downtrodden and prosaic hui
man beings to the fellow who really
rises to an occasion and roars ut the
lions.
AS q people we are somehow in
debted to the man who roared at the
lions. There is something new under
the sun after all. As far as the records
CO. no other man has chosen this most
practical and logical method Of releasing
his emotions. For the thing is practi-
cal, and very logical. The lions do not
mind. They are possibly interested in
such competition, for their lives, rs q
whole, are extremely dull-beefsteak,
cubs, beefsteak, cubs, etc. Nor should
others be annoyed. Far from 1t! What
tragedies might be prevented, what ca
lamities averted, how smooth might
run the troubled course Of human af-
fairs If those who otherwise explode
with calamitous results were merely al
lowed, or encouraged, to go to the Zoo
and roar at the lions!

permanently lose out"
For their part. American coffee i'm
porters are apprehensive lest the
entrance Of the Farm Board into the
business of selling coffee may injure
their trade.
It is not only in Brazil, however, that
the surplus wheat of the United States
has been complicating the world grain
disturbing factor. Negotiations between
the Farm Board and the Chinese Ma
tionaliSt government for the purchase
of q large quantity Of the boards sur
plus stocks of wheat are not yet COM
pleted and the Chinese insist they will
use this wheat for the purpose of
relieving distress caused by the floods
in the Yangtze Valley. The millers OF
the Pacific Coast States, however. fear
that. Just as Brazil may build up a
milling industry on Farm Board wheat,
SO the progressive China of the near
future may endeayor to make herself
independent of American flour by
learning to mill her own from Farm
Board wheat.
To these factors in the problem are
added the dissatisfaction Of the private
exporters Of wheat to Brazil and China,
who do not want to see the United
States Government enter into compete
ton with them There are also objections
from American shipping interests. which
contend that they ought to carry our
grain to Brazil and her coffee back to
us. Brazil, however, Is apparently
planning that her own ships are to get
this business.
Altogether, it can hardly be said that
everybody Is satisfied with the Farm
Boards bartering program.

These words are from the Masters

stituted that work Is one OF the most
essential elements in securing to us not
only the means of subsistence, but that
which Is necessary to our moral stabil-
ity. That Satan finds some mischief
still for idle hands to do" is common to
all of us. We cannot live helpfully and
BEAUTIFULLY without occupation of some
kind. The rewards Of labor are to be
found not only in the pay envelope, but
In the satisfaction which accrues to
service efficiently rendered. The moral
value of remunerative occupation we
have given little heed to. With the in
crease of machinery and our tendency
to regard the toilers as parts in SOUL

only of the moral worth Of the worker,
but OF our moral responsibility to him.
Too much OF our industry is impersonal
In its character The old relation that was
common between employer and employe
has largely ceased to be. The generally
recognized standard for efficient man
agement lacks the spirit Of co-opera-

or failures that attend industry. Where
this spirit of cooperation Is absent,
friction and MISUNDERSTANDING are in

They seem 50 far apart.

Where Is old-time sentiment
And real old-time song
And pretty styles In clothes that went

And yet the crowds are smiling
At passing jest and show,
And fashions are beguiling

Mid censure or acclaim,
And old and new in long review
Are pretty much the same.

When homeward from his busy day the

The man will pull a lever and the door

And gently Jolt him down the step into

Another button floods the room with
soft electric light.
And then to cheer the WEAKNESS that
comes at close Of day
He throws a switch and turns q dial

Think Of Catch

If you have to run hard for
the ball, then forget everything
except making the catch. Never
mind position for the next
throw. Don't take a chance on
missing the putout by too much
attention to having your feet
and body in a particular posi-
tion. The next play will have
to take care of itself if you have
to run your legs off to catch
the ball.
Infielders also have to figure
plays in advance, but this ad-
vice today is chiefly for outfield-
erS. I want to stress two
points. One is the idea of not
letting a runner go from first
to second through a useless
throw to the plate, because the
runner on first may be carrying
the winning run of your particu-
lar game, and that throw puts
him in position to score on a
single. The other point is that
an outfielder can get many a
base-runner, or prevent many
from advancing. simply by be-
ing all set to throw as soon as
the ball is caught.
But remember-position is not
as important as catching the
ball, so forget position on a run.

the strength of your own arm.
When the ball it hit your
way you get your body in posi-
ton, if it is possible, to make
the throw to the base where the
ball should go. If you are
righthanded set yourself with
right foot behind the left and
body partly turned, as shown
in the photograph accompany
ing this article.
If you are lefthanded then
you set yourself with left foot
behind the right. This puts
you in a position to make the
throw as soon as the ball is
caught. The loss of time in
shifting yourself into throw
ing position may be the diff
ference between a putout at
one of the bases and the runner
being safe.

Shift of Feet

Remember that it is impos-
sible to make a play properly
if you are flatfooted when it
is necessary to make a quick
throw from the outfield to one
of the bases.
You may not have noticed
this shift of feet and body
when looking at professional
game but just take notice the
next time you go to a game.
You will see a player set him.
self to catch a fly ball and in
variably he will move his feet
and body in such position that
he will be all set for the throw
as soon as he gets the ball.
In remembering these rules
about preparing for the next
play, do not go to the other ex-
treme and put this shift of feet
and body ahead of the most i'm
The Washington times., 1931-06-01

One very important part Of
baseball is to think ahead Of
the play. BY that I mean that
a player should figure before
ball is pitched what he should
do if the ball is hit to him.
Now and then a freak Situa-
tion will develop uneXpect-
edly-one which nobody could
figure in advance-but in most
cases it is possible to be pre-
pared.
Figure what is the best pos
sible play for your team. No
tice where the base runners
are and decide for yourself
what your chances are of stop
ping the one nearest the plate.
But don't forget this part.
Never make a play for run
ner from third base to the
plate when there is another
runner on first, unless you
have a very good chance Of
stopping him. Your throw
simply allows the man on first
to advance to second base and
another single here means a
run. It is frequently a better
play to pay no attention to the
man running from third and
to throw the ball to seconG,
just to the keep the other run
ner on first.
