ton W. Howard Declares
In Sermon.

Clinton w. Howard, former chair
man of the World Peace Commission
and now executive superintendent of
the International Reform Federation,
last night termed Japan "a piratical
vandal of the sea, a demented demon
of the air and an odious excrescence
of the SOIL" in sermon at the Ma
tional Memorial Evangelical Church.
Stepping from his role as pacifist,
Howard condemned Japan for her war
on China, declaring:
ANY one calling himself Chris
tan who can witness the current news
pictures being shown of the assassina-
ton of the civil population, the burn
ing of the non-combatant homes of
Marking, Canton and Shanghai; the
ruthless attacks upon the hospitals by
Japanese war planes and remain a
pacifist at any price, does not have the
spirit of Christ when he resorted to
physical violence in driving the gang
sters from the Temple at Jerusalem"

denness of the blow. Della had known
all along. And was willing to bargain.
That was the reason she hadn't told
at breakfast. Because maybe Lucy
could do better than ten cents.
"You lied," Della said.
Lucy's cheeks famed. She kicked
around pebble with her toe.
"I-I'll give you whatever l get.
Truce was declared. Della looked
SNUG and prim. Virtue was about to
be rewarded.
That afternoon. she watched the
crowded schoolyard empty slowly in
the direction of the village before she
picked up her books with deep, un-
conscious sigh and started off toward
home. Life had suddenly become too
difficult.
Her mothers voice greeted her as
she slowly pushed open the screen
door.
There's something for you on the
parlor table, Lucy"
Lucy's stubby fingers worked
clumsily at the knot that tied the
package she found on the table. The
paper fell away and revealed pair OF
glistening white shoes!
For a long time she stood there
without even touching them. Her
heart beat so hard she could almost
hear it's echo in the musty room. The
lump became too big for her throat
and before she could stop them, the
big tears we're running down her face.
why, Lucy. don't you like them?"
Mrs. Harden's voice was distressed.

ture came on Friday. Lucy sat up
front in the big wagon beside Mr..
Galloway and waved back as long as
she could see the school. Her mother
kissed her goodby and tucked fifty
cent piece into her hand. Della had
stood at the back of the group and
waved goodby with the same specula-
tive look on her face.
The trip to Omaha took about six
hours, and the farther behind they
left the schoolyard the looser became
the bands around Lucy's sturdy little
heart. The great adventure was on!
She finally relinquished her seat up
front to one of the older pupils and sat
beside Rachel with her feet hanging
over the back of the wagon. The sun
began to slip lower in the bowl of sky.
1t grew bigger and bigger. 1t looked as
though it had held its breath too long.
The plains took bite out of it. Flam-
ing pennants of color shot out like
signals flung against the blue. 1t was
half gone. Then suddenly it dis
appeared and left just a scarlet streak.
The little night sounds that begin
with the first soft evening breeze
began to swell. A star popped out. A
hole in the blue You could almost see
through into the beyond. If you could
put your eye to the rent made by the
star, could you see the streets of gold
and the iridescent simmer of angels
wings? And how did one sleep with
wings? Did they fold up? Or did you
take them off like dress and lay them
carefully on a chair till morning?

ton, and went down to Lima to look
over the town team, which was a
Columbus farm" Iron Mountain"
Miller was Lima's star pitcher. Quinn
ordered him to take the mound in a
game with another league team. the
Van Werts.
Van Vert players hit twenty-five
long, screaming drives into the out
field - and every one of them was
caught for putout!
Miller came around to see Quinn
after the game. Say" he asked.
when do l start for the big leagues?"
you can buy yourself a ticket
home," replied Quinn. You're fired"
Miller's queer no-hit, no-runner
wasn't any stranger than no-hit. no
run game pitched for the Macon club
by seven pitchers, one Of whom
pitched one inning right handed and
another inning left-handed. This was
Paul Richards, who later played with
the Giants, Dodgers, and Athletics.
There's lot of luck in pitching.
Even the greatest twirlers get bad
breaks. The batter may come up any
time with a fluke hit. A good example
of that was a game between Reading
