They Bhould do this not because there may he delay In awarding the contract for the new building, but because thcy should come to that meeting prepared to glve intelligent information as to the present condition there and to urge that something be done about it Im- mediately if conditions are as bad as pictured. There should be no red tape about this, there should be im- mediate action. Councilmen Crusberg, F. A.

Aside from the of the game" which may turn & ghort series of this sort apuinst the “dope” there should be a basis upon which to figure the probubllities As to the doctrine, of chances, there is really ne roason why the past performances of the Yankees and Gilants should be con- sidered as fuvoring the Yankees, It In best, therefore, to look at the proba- bilities without considering the fact that the Yankees have been the losers for two successive years, The Yankees are the faverites, sentimental, it is belleved, and practi- cal, It may be predicted that outside the offices of the “Herald” on the street, there will come from ghe great crowd gathered to hear the returns of each play, more cheers for the Yankees than for the Giants. Practi- cally the Yankees are the favorites because people look for Ruth to come through with least one or two spectacular home runs, possibly with men on bases, which will win those games, The Yankees' supposedly stronger plitching staff is considered another reason for predicting that the Yankees will win. But in the final analysis it is Ruth upon whom the backers of the Yankees pin their faith—and Ruth knows it. Itg-this confidence—is a baseball teams and one of There is “hreaks at | place for women in the demestic ur-l {ele that bhas existed always There | they are needed; theve it is the plulv' | o be father to the thought that théy | ure and the duty of many to remaln | § (7 @5 they see their pleasure and their duty, But there s & place, alse, for !\wmru in the other world when in- spiration or neeessity calls them there, | This weman's erganisation this eity, now celebrating its second an- | miversary of ita founding, Is doing mueh to make that place seeure of HON CONVENTION world ‘whieh op- country hy THE 1Y The spirit of the posed Germany when that sought to dominate that world foree of vielence will be the spirvit of the annual convention of the Ameri- oan Legion to be held in San Franeis- 00 October 15-19, There will be no atmosphere of intolerant persecution of u defeated enemy there, but there will bé the united hrotherheod of the nations and organizations within this nation which gave more moral power to the fighting arms of thelr represens tatives on the hattlefield, During those days there he again the harmony of men and bodies common bond, will held together by a which will make the disorganization of BEurope and the petty disagroe- ments within this country seem small and puerile indeed, There will be, in San Francisco, o league of nations and of individuals who and which avill bring again to life the common, ob- Jeetive toward which, in those terriblc years of war, all were working.

This, probably, is but a partial list of the men and or- and Walter Falk are to be commended | ,rotty big burden for a man so young [ ganizations and nations to be repres for visiting this place as they have done. It is necessary only to talk with one of them to be convinced that something must be done if it is only 1o stop up the cracks through which the wind blows, or if it is necessary only to put in a stove to warm the women out there whose only home is there and who, to the sensitive seem so utterly friendless at this moment. Blame may he placed on one man, on the board of charities, or on the council. The real blame, however, is upon the prevalent sentiment in the city against spending any money where the spending of it may be avoided. The question of to what concern the contract for building should be awarded is a comparatively small matter compared to the keeping com- fortable of the women at this “home,"” now. ‘Whatever is done in regard to the awarding of that contract, the place where they are now living should be made habitable and warm, The school hoard of the city dreads to come before the council asking for money. The charity board undoubt- edly hates to ask for money. Boards and individuals want to make a good record. Making a good record is synonomous with making economical record, oN matter what expenses are , avoided, seems to be the sentiment of many people, an “economical manage- ment” will bring praise from the powers that rule the city. The boards primarily are not to blame; individ- uals are not so much to blame al- The thing to blame is the in- spent ways, .cessant demand no money be ! Where it can be saved. The *“Herald” has been strong for economy; it has accentuated the men- lace of increasing taxation. But the *“Herald” has said continually that no saving should be made at the expense of the children of the city nor at the expense of the old people unfortunate enough to have to live at the town home. The mayor has called a “special scssion” of the council. He did well to make this a special session. Let the members of the common council be strong enough to he insistent in their stand that those women at the town home be made comfortable, not when | the new building goes up, but now!

On the other hand the backers of the Giants pin their faith principally on John McGraw, a much older man who is accustomed to assuming re- sponsibllity. He revels in it. He will brook no interference. McGraw knows this, but it is no burden too heavy for him, So it is seen that there is more in this discusion than a mere considera- tion of a gake or a few games of basamll, It comes down to a general principle, whether it is better to rely upon physical prowess of a young man who, at best,, will have only an occa- sional chance to “do or die,” or wheth- er it is better to rely upon the brains dnd intelligence of another, much older man, accustomed to re- sponsibility and who has made his success because he has assumed all authority, and who will be directing things every moment of the play. He will be on the job every moment; Ruth only when chances come to him, If, therefore, the breaks of the game are at all even, we prefer to rely upon those brains which will be back of the Giants, There, we've gone and done it and we might as well add that our thirty cents will be on the Giants to win the series. And that opinion may be worth just about thir- ty cents, A SIGNIFICANT ANNIVERSARY Tonight there is to be celebrated the second anniversary of an event that was looked ' upon somewhat doubtfully when it took place, but which, teday, is acknowledged to have been justified. Two years ago a cer- tain organization came into existence which marked woman's new position in the world of business and the pro- fessions. The Business and Profes- sional Women's club was the name given it ,and The “Herald" took oc- casion at that time to predict that it would have an influence on the life of the city that could scarcely fail to bring good results. Today, when the organization is two vears old, we believe that prediction is justificd. The organization composed of girls and women engaged in busi- ness and the professions has gone on its successful way quictly and with the dignity which offends no proper pre- conceived idea of womanhood. It has brought a deeper appreciation to its of work she is now doing, and a members woman's place in th more enlightened attitude to the men who| in the old days considered the field of | the tially their own. The unostentation of the business and professions essen- very ganization, while taking nothing from | its effectiveness, has accomplished re- sults that a more radical im-| would have been impossible to pro-| duce.

Looking at the pre Y ¢t « gather- ings such as this will be it does not seem a great stretch of the imagina- tion to see the day to come when, the nations of the world, hound together by a consuming desire for everlasting peace, will meet together.

REFUSED 10 ENJOIN CLOSING OF SALOONS Judge Thomas of United States Court Defers Pennsylvania Action IPhiladelphia, Oct, 9-=Judge Whiitaker Thompson, in United States Court yesterday refused to grant tem- porary injunctions to close six Schuyl- kill county saloons ‘wlleged to have violated the Wolstead law, His refusal was not final and was purely on a technicality. It developed that the government had not served notice of the hearing on the saloon-’ men and since the United States Sy- preme Court had refused to issue in- junctions under similar conditions, Judge Thompson declared he would follow that precedent. He gave the accused #aloonmen un- til Friday of this week to file answers to the government allegations and U, 8. Atty. George W. Coles until next Tuesday to flle counter affidavits. No applications have yet been filed asking for injunctions to close Phila- delphia saloons, the proprietors of which were formerly notified last week by stite and federal authorities to cease business.
