He Plays the Game Is golf going to take the place of baseball as our fore- most national sport? You may scoff at the suggestion. But sporting goods manufacturers estimate that at least 2,000,000 Ameri- cans are golfers. And that is only a beginning. Anyone with his eyes open realizes that a golf craze is sweeping the country like a prairie fire. In popularity, golf is growing far faster than baseball grew in its early days. For every one that plays golf, there are five who would be playing if they could. In the main, golf still is a rich man’s game. The price of getting into a good golf club is prohibitive for the average man—and usually intentionally so, to keep the membership “exclusive.” The scarcity of golf courses for the person of moder- ate means drives home the principle that America has made practically no provisions for recreational sports for The baseball fan rarely plays the game himself, He usually sits and watches some one else play. For this reason, baseball in America is a form of theatricals rather than a sport played by the rank and file. You do not, however, find golf enthusiasts sitting back and watching other players—except an occasional star. ‘The golfer is not a grandstand loafer.

If he looks for it he can find the hatreds, the vices, the tortures and the agonies which war brings also. All| of these are within the memory of the average citizen, for the war is still less than 13 years old. As it buys and wears these flowers, America should acea, no miracle, but it fully expects to inject into the discussion of prohibition a little more reason and scien- tific information. The way is open to the council for a career of useful- ness. Prejudice and bias will close that way at the out- sct. Can the council find students with open minds, or, at least, with minds capable of being opened by exact knowledge? No matter what the researchers discover their conclu- sions will never find universal acceptance, such being the nature of the subject of their search.

It 1s not true, of course, for if the nation agrees on nothing else, it is certain that the men of the American Legion and the women of its auxiliary constitute the best in- surance policy the United States could have. They stand as a bar to national cowardice and dishonor and as a bar against national aggression. They stand for sanity in international relations. And they should be thanked for bringing back to us memories, not only recollections of the dark days of the war but of those men who lie, unable to care for them- forget these men, some of whom have made for their country the sacrifice entailed by existing in a state of living death. It is sad that we must be reminded of them, but the! fact remains that we must. The American Legion Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.

What About Safety? (New York World-Telegram) Six hundred and fifty pilots are flying 133,000 miles a day on America’s scheduled air mail and passenger lines. They are the best of the country’s 15,000 licensed pilots. On them directly depends the safety of hun- dreds of passengers and tons of mail every day and night. Yet, like children, they should be seen and not heard. At least that is the way their employers, the air line The operators have just vetoed a proposed conference between these pilots and the Department of Commerce. The government had expected to reap valuable sugges- tions for the regulation and maintenance of the air lines out of these pilots’ knowledge—the knowledge of ex- perience, gained only by riding at the controls day after though Webster's gives it as “an intermission from stated | day and night after night over the airways. employment.” The only available explanation for the vacation wan- derlust is the propensity of the American to become bored with his surroundings and to crave new “hunting grounds.” Perhaps it is a twentieth century out-cropping | of the pioneer instinct of the frontier-pushing fore- The Commerce Department asked the operators if they would send pilot representatives to the conference.

Annual reports may serve as rough-and-ready indications of their abil- ity; but at best they tell only part of the story and they do not always tell it in a version that may be taken at face value. Balance sheets show tangible assets and liabilities to a penny. They even offer rough estimates as to such in- tangibles as the value of patents and goodwill, but they are silent as to the all-important factor of management. How, indeed, could they be otherwise? Who, for ex- ample, could appraise in dollars and cents the cash value of Henry Ford's business judgment, his ability for shap- ing sound policies, his technical knowledge and his prac- tical experience?

The British Drift Toward Protection (Saturday Evening Post) After the war the British established q parliamentary act for the safeguarding of essential industries, mean- ing industries developed during the war and regarded as essential to military independence. It was a special form of protection. Gradually the list of articles in- cluded was extended. Production’ costs became one cri- terion ‘of protection.

MORRIS FISHBEIN | Editor, Journal of the American Med- | ical Association, and of Hygela, | the Health Magazine | It has been a well defined impres- | sion in the past that tea, coffee, and caffein-containing drinks are bad for children. On the other hand, there jias been a general belief that cocoa is | not harmful. On this subject, Dr. Lydia Roberts points out that few, if any, experi- ments have been performed auectly | on children to establish these im- pressions scientifically. Most of the evidence is derived from studies on animals. It is, of course, known that the ac- tive principles of tea and coffee, namely, caffein and theobromine, are drugs which in sufficient amounts Produce definite effects on the body, the effect depending on the amount given, the way it is given, the condi- tion of the person to’ whom it is giv- en, and similar factors. Caffein drinks stimulate energy production, speed up the breathing rate, and increase the activity of the kidneys. It is known slso that continued use of tea and coffee tends to produce tolerance, 80 that cne can drink more without be- ing affected. The physiologic processes in the Study Indicates Cocoa Made With Milk Is Less Harmful to Child Than Tea or Coffee It Won’t Be Long Now! Ith Service body of the child are more active than in the adult. The energy needs of the child are greater than those of the adult, and it is not advisable to replace the food that it should take by subsfances without considerable feod value. Drinks that stimulate the metabolism increase the energy reeds even more. Coffee in the diet tends to replace milk and other food substances of much greater import- ance. Cocoa contains theobromine, a chemical substance closely related to caffein. It is believed that it differs from caffein only in having a greater effect on the kidneys and a less effect on the central nervous system. It would, therefore, be expected that cocoa would have the same effect on the child as tea and coffee, although 3t might have less tendency to pro- duce sleeplessness. Cocoa made with water and sugar has just about the strength of a cup of coffee. Cocoa made with milk is equivalent to milk ilavored with two tablespoons of cof- fee brew. As a conclusion to these considera- tions, Doctor Roberts feels that cocoa made with milk is likely to be less harmful to the child than tea or coffee, but that cocoa made with wa- bee but little different than tea or. coffee. ° | BARBS f —_—_—— PF An Ohio burglar stole a bathtub end got away with it.

The letter was written in response to one by Mr. Heflin to the president in which Heflin called attention to speeches made in the House by two representatives who claimed that the president had said that the United States had “no real grievance against Germany.” Heflin, therefore, suggested that the president, to correct a false im- pression, make a disavowal of the at- titude accredited him by the two con- . In reply the president wrote, .in part: “It is incomprehensible to me how any frank and honest person could doubt or question my position with regard to the war and its objects. I have again and again stated the. . .. wrongs which the Imperial German government has perpetrated against the rights, the commerce, and the citizens of the United States ..... ‘There is no hate in our hearts for the German people, but there is a resolve . + to overcome the pretensions of the autocratic government which acts upon purposes to which the Ger- taan people have never consented.” {At the Movies 7 CAPITOL THEATRE ‘The old western melodrama fea- turing physical action exclusively has practically disappeared since ‘he ad- vent of sound pictures. Now that the characters talk, audiences sre no longer satisfied to see them scamper across the prairies on spirited horses or perform hazardous leaps across precipices without rhyme or reeson. A conspicuous example of the new type of melodrama is “Desert Venge- ance,” Columbia's all-talking feature starring Buck Jones, which comes to the Capitol Theatre tomorrow. The plot deals mainly with the regenera- tion through love of a. desperate bandit. Many scenes are lald in Sky- fields, an old ghost city, high up in the mountains. Here reigns a des- perado as king of all he surveys. He has hi- jacked the loot of a rival bandit lord and prepares to repel an invasion. But a girl, a very unusual character, enters the situation, and as usual the issue becomes vastly more complicated.

We gathered in four nice fat runs. And so at the beginning of the seventh it was 6 to 6 and every fan knows that it isn’t the low-scored close games that always supply the most excitement. I went into the box feeling more confident than ever before. I didn’t send out the fielders again, of course, but I tried to pretend to If that they were out.
