singled twice, and got a walk grounding out
on his other two attempts.
But in the first Of the ninth he got another
of those balls hit hard directly at him. Fran,
In the stands, felt her heart leap as he made
the play. A moment later she was staring
down at the field her eyes wide, her face
sumber Buzz had actually lodged away from
that ball, letting it go right through him for
a single!
In the deluge of errors that were committed
that day, nobody thought much of Buzz's
misplay, except Fran-and Buzz On the
following afternoon they were discussing the
contest at home.
Buzz" said Fran slowly, "grounders that
come right at you are sort of hard for you TO
handle aren't they?"
Buzz shot her a quick look. Are you talking
about that one I missed yesterday? Aw. it
just took q bad hop"
Fran regarded him with a level gaze. mo,
it didn't, Buzz" she said seriously. you
ducked away from it'
"Huh?" Buzz tried to make his voice in
dignant. "Ah, you're crazy, Fran"
IRAN said nothing. She sat silent, looking
] at her brother. He looked back at her
uneasily for a moment, then broke down.
"Aw, there's no use trying to bluff you" he
cried Grossly. Then he looked at her with
frank, worried eyes II know I ducked it,
Fran" he confessed. THAT kind of ball Just
gets my goat. Somehow I seem to remember
that one that knocked me cold. It's crazy, and
I try not to let it bother me, but just as get
set to handle hot one like that, seem to
forget everything I ever knew about fielding,
and it gets away from me-"
That's what thought" said Fran. And
can see just why it is. Well, think the only
way to overcome that feeling is to get lot
of practice on that sort of hit. You can't
afford to fall down play like that, with
Murphy and Finch just waiting to grab your
position"
"Oh, I'll be all right" said Buzz. "a little
more practice will fix me up"

down the road. We had heard
that if you picked up seven
pebbles, counted seven stars
and threw the pebbles over your

something white.
I'VE both did it. Then we
looked around and we saw
something white lying by the
side of the road. We thought
it was a ghost. We ran to the
house as quickly as possible.
The next morning we investi'
gated and found our ghost was
only a piece Of white paper"

FIGHTING NAVY DENTIST
ABOARD u. S. S. HOUSTON
Lieut.. Comdr. A. G. Lyle Won
Congressional Medal of Honor
in France.

Should Lieut.. Comdr. A. G. Lyle, the
dentist aboard the U. S. S. Houston,
flagship of the U. S. Asiatic Fleet, come
undef fire at Shanghai, it will be moth
ing new to him. The dentist, who halls
from the famous fishing port OF Glou-

more, served at Annapolis and is we'll
known in the National Capital, was
one of the II men Of the Navy during
the World War to obtain the Congress

On the battle fields of France Lieut..
Comdr. Lyle rendered valuable firSt-aid
assistance while serving with the Ma
rines. He often went into the line OF
fire to save wounded comrade, and
for this he was decorated.

For extraordinary heroism beyond
the call of duty under heavy shell fire

assistance of Corp. Thomas Regan, who
was seriously wounded, and administer
ing such effective surgical aid, while

CITIZENS OPPOSE
CAR LINE MERGER
Takoma Group Assails lntri'
cate Language of Pro-
posed Measure.

The bill now pending in the Senate
relating to the proposed merger OF the
street railway was viewed with alarm
by the Citizens Association OF Takoma,
D. c. last night.
George E. Sullivan introduced reso-
luton which declared that ut Is un-
derstood that the bill was prepared by
representatives of the street railway
companies and makes use OF intricate
and involved provisions and language,
the consequences of which as against
the public are difficult completely 10
fathom." The resolutiOnW as adopted:
Instead of obligating the proposed
new company. the bill undertakes 10
make a series of grants in the form OF
a supposed contract, in derogation OF
the power and duty on the part OF
Congress itself to deal in accordance
with its Judgment, with the various
matters sought to be precluded," said
Mr.. Sullivan.
Action Is Urged.
The resolution, as adopted stated
"that the proposed bill undertakes 10
recognize and countenanCe the sup
posed assets and liabilities Of the rail-
way companies as appears from their
balance Sheets and while the putting
into effect of the proposed merger Is
left to wait a period of possibly two
wears, the provisions in the bill would
doubtless prevent the carrying through
of the pending and only interpartes
valuation ever undertaken, making
necessary the recommencement after
the establishment of the new company,
If the Public Utilities Commission
should then permit the same at all"
The resolution is to be sent to the
House and Senate District Committees
and the Public Utilities Commission.
Mr.. Sullivan was directed to represent
the association at the committee hear
ings.
Zoning Plan Hit.
The proposed addition to the zoning
regulations permitting the zoning
Commission to modify or partially suS-
pend. under certain conditions, the
specific requirements of any particular
regulation with respect to a particular
case, was deemed unWiSe and unnec-
essary and would be step in breaking
down the zoning system, which has
been so commercially established and
preserved by our Zoning Commission"
in a resolution unanimously adopted
The matter was presented by w. A.
Magathen, chairman of the Zoning
Committee, who was requested to pre-
sent the matter at the public hearing
tomorrow at the District Building OF
the Zoning Commission.
The removal of the remainder OF the
trolley poles on Georgia avenue, be-
tween the Brightwood car barn and the
District line was urged in resolution
adopted.

missioners for Allowing q

Denouncing dance marathons as
representative of all that Is undesirable
in the way of entertainment, as well
as putting thousands of dollars in the
pockets of nonresident promoters, the

the association voted to forward its
protest to the Federation of Citizens
Associations in the hope that concerted
action by other associations might
result.
The Mapes bills for increased taxa

of commentary resolution which COW
cred the bills in all their particulars,

bill now pending in Congress to regu-
late the sale and possession of firearms

ROOSEVELT VIEWS
ON LEAGUE ASKED
Governor Indicates He May
Reply to Hearst Letter
Inviting Declaration.
BY the Associated Press.


ALBANY, N. Y, February 2.-The
possibility that Franklin D. Roosevelt,
mentioned prominently as a possible
Democratic presidential nominee, would
shortly have some comment on the
League Of Nations and its connection
with the Japanese situation was seen
at the capital last night.
The New York Governor had before
him letter written by William Ran
dolph Hearst, In which the publisher
called upon the candidate to make clear
his stand on the League. Mr.. Roosevelt
had not read the letter, but he init
mated he might choose to comment II he
found the communication warranted 1t.
Mr.. Hearst conveyed his demand In
letter to one of the editors Of his
chain Of newspapers. The letter was
published in each of the Hearst papers.
The Hearst letter crystallized stu
alton arising out Of the recent dismissal
Of the League issue by Newton D.
Baker, also one of the foremost of the
field Of possible Democratic nominees
Baker, like Roosevelt, was a member OF
woodrow Wilson's cabinet when the
war President campaigned through the
closing years of his life for United
States adherence to the League.
The Wilson cabinet in those days
stood solidly with the President in his
battle for American membership In the
League.

New York.-An unusual view of the economic status Of our workers was presented by Lloyd N. Scott, New York attorney, at a meeting in New York city He stated that workers engaged in the production Of consumable goods perform an economic function diff ferent from those engaged on per- manent Improvements. Ut seems," said MT Scott, "as if we have come to q time in our social development where those who are engaged in the the production of consumable goods, and those who are working on permanent improvements should be considered separately. as dif- ferent economic laws underlie them.
 Supply and demand apparently apply only to those engaged in the production of consumable goods. but 1t does not apply to permanent improvements should be considered separately, as different economic laws underlie them.
 Supply and demand apparently apply only to those engaged in the production of consumable goods, but 1t does not apply to permanent improvements, and there would al- ways be q job on non.consumable goods or permanent improvements available to every human being.
 "Our present difficulty seems to have come about through allowing the laws which underlie the pro- duction and sale of consumable goods to effect the expenditure of human energy in permanent im- provements. It is true that certain permanent Improvements for in- stance, office buildings and apart ment houses and even homes, may be over-supplied. But this does not mean the permanent improve ments of Fundamental nature such as those that would be de- signed by national planners of ef- ficiency, city planners, transporta- ton planners. sanitary engineer planners" continued Mir Scott. Those latter does not come within the sweep of supply and demand, but are always available to absorb and employ any of our unemployed when the activities that are with in the sweep of supply and de- mand of consumable goods are sat- isfied. It is q question of devis- ing Q plan by which, as soon as in- dividual initiative has produced and reproduced. although the producer may suffer in the loss of money or capital. those human be- ings who have human energy to exert in order to feed themselves may work elsewhere and get the wherewithall to feed themselves.
 "The Declaration of Independ- ence says that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain in- alienable rights and among those are, life. liberty and pursuit of hap piness. There should be added to 1t, land tn eright to demand and receive work.' For some reason or other in, the development of things. we have left out the right to demand work, and have gone on the assumption that If we gave some one person, or a group of persons the right to command others to work, due to position, that they would always issue com mands to work so that the other
