There is alto- gether too much unnecessary haste in the world today, and while life is complex and we must be up and doing, we should has- ten slowly. Every nation realizes this and! each has its warning slogan—the Italian his festins lente, the German his Eile mit Weile, and all other tongues express the} same caution, eonalading that “no one can justify a} tax which cauces local soline men to} lose more than 25 per cent of their busi-} ness,” the Fort Pierce News-Tribune | points out the defects of a city gasoline! tax as tried out in DeLand recently.

Development of the game to its prés- | ent higa standards is truly LL}: Tonsy, “it just growed”. It h but it is generally conceded that most of It remained for an baseball is life itself, to produce a remedy for the situation. Believing the ability of the game to the speed and infinite variety, its cleanline as a wholesome diversion that sharpens wits and builds stronger bodies entitl baseball to even a more prominent _ posi- tion in the world of sport, George Mo- riarly, whose career as a player, manager and umpire dates back to 1904, conceived the idea of a motion picture that would record the scientific aspects of the game. Ife succeeded in interesting not only the officials of his league but those of a large industrial concern known to have a genuine interest in the youth of America through its sponsorship of other activities of an | educational nature. As a consequence, “Take Me Out ta the Ball Game”, the official motion pic- ture of the American League, is now mak- ing its appearance. Aptly described as an “animated text book”, the new sound film illustrates the fundamentals of pitch- ing, catching, batting, fielding and base iunning, as well as giving the spectator an insight into the difficult job of umpiring | a game. Practically all the American League stars appear in the pi¢ture, dem- onstrating their skill and telling in their own words how they play their positions for the benefit of young players wha | would emulate them. Such well-known characters as Con- nie Mack, manager of the- Philadelphia and Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, ’ of baseball, likewise prof- fer words of wisdom from the screen. The film, produced and distributed by | the Fisher Body division of-General Mo- turs, is a noteworthy venture in the field «J education, the more se when it is known hat prints are being made available with- out charge t schools, colleges, clubs and ther social and educational institutions. ARMY POWER IN JAPAN Americans find it difficult to under- how the militaristic leaders of the day e army can exert so much _ in- fluence upen the political course of affai of the : ation. Very often a cabinet fa tethe successfully formed because of the gpposiuion of the Japanese generals. The answer is found in the peculiar provision in Japan that the Minister of War has tobe a general. The generals usually stick closely together and no gen- eral loyal to the military caste will accept a post in any cabinet unless the other army leaders are satisfied with the course of the ministry in its conduct of government affairs. Likewise, the Minister of the has to be an admiral but it s stanc Navy sea dogs are not as much inclined to He ble in politics as are their land associates. HERE’S THE WEATHER DOPE Most of the readers of The Citizen are interested in predictions about the weather. Of course, all of us know that fall by the wayside} through the vagaries of nature, but, never- theless, we like to think that man is be- ginning to learn something about the sub- ject. You can prepare therefore for an6th- er dry season this summer, according . to Dr. Charles Abbot, Secretary of ya | Smithsonian Institution, who points that the weather runs in 23- year sttony General trends for a year or longer can! be based on such a cycle, and on_ this theory he predicts more rain after two more dry seasons. The eminent gentleman may be right.
