MyeE, De IL KNOWN, applled TO
Harris for permission to battle
the mound city warriors. Harris
was inclined to grant his request,
but after weighing all the facts
he has had under consideration
for the past several weeks, Harris
decided to give his field captain
another day of rest.
Myer is ready to play right
now. He Stormed through one
of the most inspiring drills that
your agent has observed in a
long time on a spring diamond.
There was just a little Snicker-
ing: just a little cracking about
the old college try in professional
baseball when Myer and Chap
man worked over time following
the debacle of Wednesday. But
so far as this agent can see, the
extra work paid dividends. Myer
is ready.
"I'm delighted with the way
Buddy had come on in the last
few days." Harris said this
morning. "His improvement
means more than all the ex-
hibitiOn games that this or
any other club ever will play.
With Buddy back in his form
at second, this team is going
to be tough to beat"
Myer was as tickled as a kid
with a new red wagon over his
improvement. He is ready to go
whenever called upon. Friends
of Myer called his attention to
the fact that he had not faced
any good pitching in a long
while, and that in all probability
he would have a lot of trouble
timing the ball.
Il don't expect to knock down
any fences" Myer said. II just
want to play myself into shape
again. I'm SO delighted with the
way feel now that I'd like to
stand up and cheer. 1 think, and
l hope this won't sound wrong;
that with me at second in my
old form, the Washington club
will be dangerous from start to
finish"
There's no argument on that
score, as this observer sees the
situation. Myer is fighter, and in
addition to his aggressive spirit,
he is a real major league bail
player. He really loves to play
ball.
Johnny Mihalic, who handled
nine chances in fine style and who
made a couple Of hits against the
fire-ball pitching of the Giants.
will be at second base for the
Griffs today. Mihalic is going to
be a fine sort of kid to have around
the team this summer, in case the
heat or the every day banging
gets Myer down a bit.
Bucky Harris will feed the Cards
a diet of right handed pitching.
Joe Cascarella, Jimmy DeShong
and Ed Linke will pitch today in
that order. Harris did not know
who would pitch for the Cardinals.
We shall have the pleasure of
watching Buck Newsom throw to-

Ivan NedomatSky, Maryland'S S
sensational welterweight, will not
go to the tourney. THE Terrible" 3"
who is taking a premedical course,
prefers not to take the time neceS-
sary to travel to California and
back from his studies.
1t is not a question of gradual
ing, with Nedomatsky, but rather
that Ivan wants to finish at or
near the head of his class to as
sure his entrance into medical
school.
Other institutions of the South
Atlantic area which will be repre-
sented include University of Vir-
ginia, which will send four boxers;
Duke, which definitely will send
two, and possibly three; South
Carolina, which will send two;
Clemson, which will send one, and
North Carolina, which also will
send one.

An innocent enough
appearing news item
states that a bill has
been introduced in the
Maryland legislature
to legalize dog racing
in the great Free State.
Its predecessor failed of
passage last session, but the
sponsors are more hopeful
this time and in fact seem to
think that Everything will
be all right"
I am prepared to tell you that if
everything does turn out to be all
right, dog racing will be inaugu-
rated at Washington's immediate
door step in the vicinity of Keni-
worth.

The N. c. A. A. boxing rules
committee, of which James G.
Driver, former director Of ath-
letics at Virginia, is a member,
will meet at Sacramento while the
tournament is in progress and
will consider rules changes.
Major Harvey L. "Heinie" Mil
Ter, it is understood, will accom-
pany Maryland's boxers to the
California event and probably will
handle all Southern Conference
boxers competing in the meet.
Recommend Rules
More than likely, schools Of this
vicinity who are members OF the
N. c. A. A. will recommend the
same rules changes. The agitation
hereabouts has been to have big
ger gloves, eliminate bandages,
place a thicker mat on the floor
Of the ring and change the over
weight allowance from the present
four pounds, especially for the
lighter divisions.
College boxers from all sections
Of the country will compete In the

A MARTYR TO SCIENCE

Another distinguished name was
added to the long list of martyrs to science
when Henry t. Koenig, Denver chemist,
died as a result of research work with
radium. He was the last survivor of 20
scientists who aided Nine Currie, colds
coverer of radium, in her early expert
ments with that powerful and mysterious
mineral.
Like those other heroes of the labora-
tory, Koenig continued to work as long
as possible, although he knew he was
doomed by a malignant infection which
caused cancer of the lip, from which he
finally died. But the discoveries made by
him and his brave companions have made
possible relief for thousands now living,
and will benefit millions yet unborn
Koenig's method of extracting radium
at less cost from the ores in which it is
found in infinitesimal quantities is recog-
nized as one of the greatest contribu-
tions of the present century to medical
science
Truly, as Milton says, ''peace hath her
victories no less renowned than war;, but
the world still showers greater honors on
heroes of war than one heroes of peace.
Perhaps when man becomes more civil
lied those who save life may be esteemed
at least equally with those who destroy it.

TWENTY BUREAUS FOR ONE JOB

In a plea for reorganization and con-
eolidation of Federal bureaus, Senator
Byrd of Virginia, recently pointed out
some astonishing instances of duplication
and overlapping.
For example, at least "a agencies
have been created to deal with lending
government funds, and five similar
agencies are now in liquidation.
At least agencies have been con,
cerned with insuring deposits and loans
At least 10 agencies have been con.
cerned with government construction.
At least agencies have been con-
cerned with credit and finance.
AT least II agencies have been con-
cerned with home and community plan,
ming.
At least 16 agencies have been con-
cerned with wild life conservation.
So it goes, down long list Every
one of the purposes for which these
agencies have been created may be bene-
fetal and legitimate-but certainly there
can be no excuse for setting up 20 bureaus
to do one bureaus job. Nor can there be
any excuse for permitting bureaus to grow
unchecked and to eat up tax funds in UNI
imaginable quantities. Senator Byrd also
points out that one bureau has IL adj
dresses in Washington alone.
Untold millions of public dollars are
thrown away annually through duplica-
ton. Congress can have no excuse for
failure to adopt at once reorganization
plan such as the President recently pro-
posed.

WORLD CALENDAR WINS APPROVAL

News reaches Washington from the
League of Nations that it has voted to
submit to all governments proposals for
the adoption of the World Calendar, so
that it may go into effect on Sunday,
January l, 1889.
For many years there has been a
growing demand throughout the world
among statesmen, scientists, high church
officials, and business men for final adj
justment of the calendar. The last change
was in the eighteenth century when the
Gregorian calendar was accepted in the
United States and other nations But the
Gregorian calendar did not quite succeed
in accomplishing its purposes.
The present reform of the calendar
will be on the twelve-month equaLquarter
basis, l. e.: January, 81 days; February,
80; March, 80; April, 81; May, 80; June
80; July, 81; August, 3d. September, 80;
October, 81; November, 80; December, 80
with an extra Year Day" following
December 80. This makes what is be-
lieved to be perfect calendar. There will
be AN extra Leap Day" in each leap
year.
Many movements for calendar reform
have received consideration throughout
the world, strictly on their merits. The
World Calendar has met all the tests, and
seems in fair way to gain approval.

1t is generally thought that handsome
men are conceited and those with ugly
physiognomies not vain. This is fallacy
as the reverse is the case in most cases.
Have look at Governor Cone---no shrink

making one of the best chief executives
Florida ever had, in which this writer
heartily concurs. After all handsome is
that handsome does.

must admit that the interests Of no
other group in industry are better
protected than the interests OF labor
AS a matter of fact. there is very
strong proof that the interests OF
labor are better protectes. This will
be noted in the following instances;
l.gUnder industrial freedom wage
earners receive the market value for
their services. This value is not fixed
by employers as the ignorant believe.
but by natural laws that cannot be
controlled by employers No Ameri-
can citizen has q right to demand
more than the market price for any
thing be has TO sell and he gets the
market value of his services under
freedom.
2. The wage Garner Is absolutely
free to accept or reject any offer made
him for his services.
3. A wage Garner is free TO quit
work any time he pleases. No en-
ployer is permitted to restrain an em-
pioyee in any way from giving up
his Job. 1t is made a felony for an
employer to attempt to use any sort
of compulsion to prevent a wage
Garner from leaving his services But.
wage earners are permitted to use
compulsion. threats of injury. and
other violent means to force the en-
ployer to keep them in his services
against the employers will
4. If any responsible employer
breaks contract with wage Garner.
the wage Garner may go in court and
recover damages. But, wage Garner
may break any contract at will with
out any fear of being held responsible

About the most name argument ever
uttered in favor of tax lodging is the one
that the law requiring enforcement of tax
payments could not be carried through the
courts successfully 1t is true that during
the boom Florida real estate prices were
lacked up with the sky the limit and the
taxes in many cases made concomitant to
keep pace, but this was not done in Key
West with reference to taxes, which were
kept comparatively normal. Courts did
throw out tax cases where the taxes were
abnormally exhorbitant, which was just,
but in Key West the taxes are so reason
able and warrants with which to pay them

THE GOOD CD OLD DAYS

Remember the good old halcyon days
When beer was five cents glass
And we drove around in one boss shays
That used oats instaed of gas.
The house was lighted with oil lamps
And we swan in knee length suits
And everyone fed the wandering tramps
And the men wore buttoned boots.
No radio told what to do for your cold
And the postage was just two cents.
And ccnvicts were shot instead of parolled
And the news came over the fence.
Oh, they we're the good old halcyon days
That will always be without par,
But somehow or other I'm content
To live with things as they are. Fl.
