l. Maybe some Of the sports
fans have been wondering
why Pepper Martin, after his
disastrous slump in 1882, now is
leading the National Base Ball
League in hitting.
Martin. one of the reasons why
the st. Louis Cardinals are next TO
the top Of the league, now furnishes
his version.
There is only one way to be a
successful hitter in the major ball
leagues, and that Is to concentrate
on Spring training. Believe me.

The Professor shook his head.
Never heard the word"
II guess not. College football teams
haven't been rationalized; the bour-
geosie don't want to spoil their fun,
but they don't mind rationalizing the

The Professor was honestly puz-
zled. What the hell are you driving
at?"
Gust this: that while American
ships carried 86 per cent more cargo
in ten years, from 1916 to 1926, they
only hired Is per cent more men. Or
put 1t another way, while the gross
tonnage was almost doubled, there
were 20 jobs less for every 5000 gross
tons. That was 1926, and today where
half the ships are lying idle or run
ming with half empty holds, they're
lationalizing still further"
CTANLEY spoke up. "Say, Slim,
v what does decentralization mean
again?"
1T means, in the language of ef-
ficiency experts, increasing produc-
ton efficiency In our language it
means speed-up, wage-cuts, longer
hours, undermining, replacing
skilled seamen with workaways and
kids. Then there's another kind of
ratiopalizing: changing over from
coal burners to oil and to motor
ships, which requires less men. Build

Editor, 1.-THE Struggle Against WARY
Almost simultaneously with the
nationwide call for a United States
Congress Against War, to be held in
New York on September 2, 3 and 4,
appears book whose very title, as
well as its contents, seems made to
order for that event. "The First
World War" is a timely warning to
those who look on with indifference
while the imperialist governments Of
the world feverishly prepare for a
second and bigger and better one.
In 500 photographs, arranged chro-
nologically, the compilers Of this book
try to give the dramatic highlights
Of the conflict. At first glance it
would seem that they have managed
to illustrate every phase of the war:
slaughter, famine, and destruction;
guns, planes, and gas; Sarajevo and
the Unknown Soldier; propaganda
and revolution. And within these
limits the editors have done a fine
job.
But even child's history of any
war says more about causes and eff
fects than does this volume. Two
pages at the beginning are devoted
to background. The space taken up
by the pictures of the Treaty of vi
emma in 1915 and the Treaty of YER
sailles in 1870 might have been given
over to maps of Africa China, and
the Balkans with their spheres of
influence" where the inperialist
struggle was sharpest. These could
have been nicely balanced at the end
with new maps. There might have
been some hint Of the strikes in Rus
sian factories before the Revolution,
or Of the European crisis of 1918 in
general. But then we might have
seen that the war was no gift Of
