Newspaper Re terprine Aven. and Unites Press Servios, Gtiman, Nicoll @ How Is Your Game? “w the One Great Scorer c to T ‘hdd are you playing this great game called life? Are you loyal to your contract to give the very best that’s in you? Do you walk up to the plate with your bat in trembling hands, fearful of the Spitball of temptation, or the “bean ball” of reckless rivalry? Or do you stand up there, without flinching, grasping the bat with courage and confidence, but one pur- pose filling you and that.to “hit ‘er out,” whatever is offe red? Do you as , that n “the a haRp h in the of Berets for S gith, glor Do you “razz,” or do you g excuse and give comfort to the team-mate who fumbles, and perhaps passes out of the game because of it? Tt is a great game, this game of life. It is the one great game in which the big- ger score of runs counts the least. It is the great game in which the One Great Scorer makes note of but the hits and er- Yors, and the way they're made. A New One ROSS-WORD puzzles, it seems, not . only are a mental stimulus, but con- ducive to good health. In that excellent little pamphlet, “Chi- eago’s Health,” issued by Chicago's health department, they are termed the “mental daily dozen.” “Health of mind,” it points out, “is of ®s much consequence to happiness and well being as is health of body. A ra- tional cycle of work, study, relaxation and “amusement is essential to the health of mind. “To solve a cross-word puzzle requires mental alertness, concentration and strict application to order and rules. Moreover, it’s great fun. Activity is increased un- der the influence of pleasant feelings, giv- Ing a stronger heart beat, stirring the glands to better performance and invig- orating the organs of the body.” Let the cross-word skeptics digest this. What Is to Be the Finish? ‘HIS paper would not voluntarily say 4 one word to impede the rabid quest for superlative feminine beauty, but it is # moral duty to call attention to the dan- gers of over-questing in this direction. To demonstrate. In Los Angeles, where f woman devoid of much beauty cannot “get on as a movie extra, or even as an extra wife, one woman has recently lost her life by having her face “peeled” off and another has got a fine looking dam- age suit based upon the turning of her hair green by a drug store beauty bleach. The vision of women of the future without faces and with green heads is something that no newspaper can stand without some remonstrance.

Old Fight on Again UR fellow-countrymen of the Middle- West are in a hot fight over a prop- osition to legalize gambling machines at race..tracks, andthe Chicago Tribune contributes this: “Are we to be allowed to have fun, or shall the imbecile always govern the sensi- ble person? The imbecile plus politics, killed Chicago’s American Derby; he killed beer and horse racing. He may kill baseball, football, music, dancing and card and more her brothers. at the stgte playing, the moving pictures theater.” Which prompts the Detroit News to reply: “Horse racing is comparable to no other sporting enterprise in this country. It is completely rotten. It could not live an hour without its inseparable accomplic gambling, supervised by the crookedest of the whole gambling tribe, the bookmaker. Bookmaking is one unbeatable game.” That any person cannot “have fun” at any sport save there be gambling involved Excess is ion, It always a symptom of mental le s the imbeciles who “killed be given their way, they would kill t football, or card playing, as the pro- moters of such games well know. There is much in the saying, “Evils finally com- mit suicide,” and there’s no question as to the evil in getting money save in one way—earning it. To Halt Death HE best way to eliminate grade cross- ing accidents, of course, is to elim- inate the grade crossings themselves by elevating or tunneling the railroad tracks. Railroads object to this, on the ground that the cost is prohibitive. But now a new device is being tried, one so simple that you wonder it hadn’t been thought of before. An “island” is placed in the road ap- proaching the tracks, creating a sharp curve that brings the motorist down to a slow rate of speed. Thus, when he reaches the tracks, he can stop short if need he. One of these “islands” is now in use in Cottondale, Fla. It may be that this will succeed where crossing gates and safety campaigns have failed. Greater Than TNT peer much all depends upon what you say. President Coolidge’s in- augural speech was heard by some 40,- 000,000 people, and not one in 40 can re- call what he said. Vice President Dawes’ inaugural speech was heard by some 90 U. S. senators, every one of whom has been carefully considering what he said ever since. The human tongue is about the great- est weapon on earth. Be mighty careful where you point it. oe Answers to Your Questions ? ? | juiictehinatanhinciihiiniaadeatibcieeasnntadatidatuccituicniantiD | what 19 the meaning of tho cus- tom? A.
