last year.
In their championship campaign,
the Nationals were much more et-
fective outfit on foreign fields than
on their own grounds.
There has been a desperate cry
from Capital fandom about the prog

struggling to get its second successive
championship in the American
League. AS the Nationals have per-
formed thus far. it would seem this
cry was merely a waste of breath.

CUBS NOT GETTING

The Cubs first two Sundays at

TT IS suggested that perhaps the

radio. The late Bill Veeck, when
president of the Cubs, was a strong
advocate of airing ball games and at
one time there were six stations put
ting the Bears games on the waves.
The Cubs built up big radio fol-
lowing and it is just possible that
many of the former cash customers
now are taking their hits and runs in
the parlor instead of the bleachers.

 2.-All evidence indicates not. Edgar James Swift, head of the department of psychology of Wash ington university, St Louis, in his fascinating new book. The Jun gle of the Mind," points out that in dreams, or under anaesthetics or hypnotism things are often re- called perfectly that are impossible under ordinary conditions. He tells of friend who often talked Span ish in his sleep although he could not use the language which he had learned in childhood, while awake. Dr Swift relates other remarkable instances.
 3.-Olive Schreiner, in her pro- found book, Woman and Labor" argues that it is for the same req son that men adopt the style of clothes they wear-namely comfort and convenience. This is certainly a large factor. Where they carry 1t to extremes, accompanied by masculine manners and manner. isms, some researches. not yet pub lished. indicate it is largely due to a greater degree of masculinity in the woman's nature.

 Watch it grow. There is vast difference between the work bit and the willing-to-work habit. It is the difference between the real hustler and the one who is always

 But Play Is Essential Children need play and lots of it. They need freedom and lots of it. They need time to call their own and do somewhat as they please. Child labor is destroyer and a scourge and for boy of

 Ali children are the better for some effort and small routine tasks that cost a struggle at times to finish. Their whole mental fibre will be strengthened by some work each day. School tasks do much more, but little home responsibili- ties are valuable because they are diversified from time to time. Some children have too much to do at home. Others not enough.
