TOUCH YOUR BASE

When you were boy, did you run
the bases at baseball without touch
ing one or more of them, if the UNI
pire was not looking? If so, you
got a kind of wrong slant on life
that may have affected the things
you did since.
Many school teachers are trained
in these times to direct the recess
play of their children. They go out
on the school grounds with them and
supervise their races, baseball, and
football. They feel that the play
ground hour gives them a valuable
opportunity to put certain ideas into
those budding minds, that otherwise
might never enter their frisky little
heads. 1t is pretty sight to watch
those youngsters in their enthusi-
asm, and they do not always real
ize when moral lessons are being
communicated to them.
When the children run their races,
and are supposed to touch a certain
base and then return, there are al
ways some who will fail to do so,
whether from an inborn streak of
dishonesty, or what is more fire.
quent, from carelessness and excess
sive eagerness to win.
An observant teacher should dis
cover such omissions, and correct
the one who is guilty of them, and
impose some little penalty suitable
to the occasion. If the runner who
failed to touch his base, found that
he was excluded from the games the
next day, he would be more careful
the next time. If he got well razzed
by his mates for his too hasty or too
smart ways, he would be well
ashamed of himself in case he acted
If a child can be taught in such
ways to play the game square, obey !

has learned a lesson that many of |

strictly enforced, and infractions of

TRADING MUSCLE FOR FAT

An insurance company finds that
20 per cent of its policy holders
over the age of 40 are overweight.
The doctors tell us that when we
reach elderly life, it is far better to
be underweight than overweight.
The fat man can look with envy on
the beanpole figure.
The trouble with the majority of
these folks, is that they lost interest
in physical activity. 1t seemed cas-
ier to them to sit on a cushioned
seat, and let the gas buggy pull
them around. When you give up
some of your muscle, and allow fat
to grow in its place, you are likely
to be trading off some years of your
life.

BOOTLEG IMMIGRATION

The commissioner of immigration
remarked some time ago: "The
more we restrict immigration. the
more the pressure to enter this
country Illegally. So along all our
borders and at many seaports, fur
tive aliens are stealthily slipping
across, trying to take the advant-
ages of American life away from
our home people who have worked
to create these benefits.
Conditions can not be so bad in
this land Of ours, when SO many peo-
pie will risk their lives and spend
large sums of money. in order to
get into it. They must still regard
it as kind of promised land.

SERMON ON MOUNT IN POLITICS

Sherwood Eddy, noted author and
national Y NJ. C. A. secretary, re-
marked that Mahatma Gandi, India's
famous holy man, has been one who
dares apply the Sermon on the
Mount in politics. 1t is one re-
proach against our so-called Chris
tian civilization, that people seem
to leave their Christianity behind
when they get into politics. They
feel it is supremely necessary to
win elections and primaries, and
secure support of their political or
ganizations, and that they can not
do these things if they attempt to
follow strictly Christian policies.
The keynote of Jesus Sermon on
the Mount may be found in the
words Seek ye first the kingdom of
God" That is, the pursuit of right
eous and unselfish aim was in his
mind to be the guiding principle of
peoples lives.
The aim of seeking first the king
dom of God is far from being domi-
nant in politics. The general tone
of politics in the United States is
low, although there are many con-
scientious people in the game who
are doing the best they can.
The idealists who are earnestly
seeking the kingdom of God, so far
constitute a fairly small minority.
If they take a firm stand in favor of |
everything that ought to be done, |
and will accept nothing less than
that, they are apt to get nothing. |
There are many, times when the |
principle of compromise has to be /
admitted, that half a loaf is better |
than no bread.
People underestimate the power
of courage and righteousness to win
adherents. Somehow when a man
like Theodore Roosevelt and many
others who could be cited, rises in
firm independence, and takes stand
for righteousness, the people flock
to become his followers. If we had
more leaders willing to take this
strong and courageous attitude in
behalf of good political causes and
human progress, the ideals of the
Sermon on the Mount would come
nearer being accepted.

MANUFACTURERS ASSO.
NET AT OCEAN CITY

The Peninsula Brick Manufactur-
ers' Association met at the Roose-
welt Hotel, Ocean City, Maryland, on

dent Roosevelt's signature, The

tion by the Brick Manufacturers
Association of America, the Amer
lean Face Brick Association, the
National Paving Brick Association
and the Structural Clay Tile Asso-
citation.

SO hours a week, averaged over
either semi-annual probationary

Nuis Wilkerson, local brick manu-
facturer, is president, covers the

SEEING THE WORLD

Il want to see the world" was the
remark with which many young
men started out on a career of va
grancy. Their aimless desire at first
seemed harmless enough, but they
contracted rowing habits that mas
tered their lives.
People have spent billions of dol
lars in foreign travel, which was
helpful to many of them, but many
of them saw so little of Importance
that the money was practically
wasted Young people often take
jobs in far distant places, feeling
that seeing different sections of the
country will be beneficial. They
find the obstacles working against
their success in their home towns
exist everywhere, usually more pow
erfully in distant places.
People need a knowledge of the
country and world apart from their
own neighborhood. The man who
knows only his own little home To-
cality is not likely to succeed in
business or to vote intelligently.
But he does not have to spend big
sums in railroad fare, nor to live at
expensive hotels, to acquire that
knowledge.
The Milford Chronicle wishes it
would be possible for some educa-
tional authorities to arrange an in
telligence test contest between two
groups of people. Let one consist
of constant newspaper readers who
never travelled much. Let the other
be made up of extensive travellers
who do not read newspapers much.
Our feeling would be that the news
paper readers would make a better
showing, on an examination based
on general conditions in the United
States and foreign lands, even
though they never travelled much.
Travel is a fine thing, if people
can afford it. Those who can't need
not feel that their education and de-
is hampered, if they have
never seen the boulevards of Paris,
or even the distant states of our
Union. The facilities for broad in
are offered on every news
stand and in every library.

SECOND DAY IN
SUCCESSION

-. NEW YORK, Sept. 6 O.N.SO.-
The stock market weakened for
the second successive day today
after Steadiness.
Further pressure on wheat,
combined with lack of stimulating
news, led to further selling around
noon and losses ran from l to 3
points.
Volume Picks Up
Volume picked up on the de-
cline and the whole list showed
. heavy undertone.
=. Support was thrown into the
list and the setback checked when
It promised to attain serious pro-
portions. A rally from the lows
followed.
A carry-over of yesterdays late
selling sent the list down at the
opening. This was followed by a
mild rally in which gold stocks
were outstanding but this failed to
hold.
The selling was accompanied
by ticker estimate of a sub
stantial decline in U. S. Steel
Corporations untitled orders last
month. Steel common was con-
Spicuously heavy during the
earlier firmness and was one of
the leaders of the decline.
Oils Are Supported
Railroad stocks met further
selling, due to the end of the
surcharges this month. New
York Central was in supply and
dropped sharply after yesterdays
slump. A rise in loadings last
week was ignored.
Oils were supported by the
new boost in crude prices and
prospects of a second rise in gas
oline.
Repeal stocks continued to
ignore the gathering momentum
of the antiprohibition band
wagon with the Vermont victory,
and sagged with the rest.

ateader tone of the coarse yarn
cloths marked today gave buyers suf-

The weakness which had prevailed
throughout the previous week still
caused hesitancy on the part of some
buyers, however, but it was considered
likely that if prices could be held at
current levels for a few more days
delayed covering might set in and
provide support for advances.
The display of steadiness was taken
as evidence that mills were sitting
tight in order to wean buyers into
