SUPPRESS GAMBLING IN BASEBALL PARK Vigorous war on gambling in baseball parks of the Pacific Coast League has been declared. President Harry A. Williams is pressing a movement to drive professional gamblers away from every ball park in the Coast League and keep them away. Los Angeles seems to have been the center of extensive gambling on ball games. The ball park in that city has been watched keenly by detectives recently. As a result, several notorious gamblers have been detected and have been ejected from the park. This game should be kept clean at all hazards. Gambling, if permitted, would be the death of the game. The ball parks should be for honest, untainted sport, for persons who want to see clean, skillful playing. They should not be clearing houses for gambling, the inevitable result of which eventually would be crooked games. The Coast League had a bitter taste of this in 1919. It should have no more. Gambling should be outlawed at all the parks and no known gambler should be permitted inside a park to witness a game, or to place bets. Baseball is an excellent sport, of interest to millions of Americans. But it constantly is imperilled in its integrity.

Baseball is an excellent sport, of interest to millions of Americans. But it constantly is imperilled in its integrity by this gambling mania. The public would not support the game if it were honeycombed with gambling. The public would not have confidence, nor would the game, thus tainted, deserve the confidence and support of the public. Fortunately the gambling evil is being vigorously fought in the Coast League, with reasonable hope that the professional will be driven out. The greatest of all forms of courage is moral courage. TESTS FOR CITIZENSHIP One of the principles of Booker T. Washington's life and one that he tried always to instill in the minds of his people was that the way to secure respect is not to demand it but to earn it, and he taught them by his own life of unselfish devotion to them and labor for them how they could earn the respect of each other and of the white race. This great teacher saw no hope for the negro in conferring upon him political power until he had the capacity to use it intelligently. He is said to have declared he believed it would have been better to make the possession of a certain amount of education or property, or both, a test for the exercise of the franchise, but that test should apply to the white and black races alike. He made it clear that he believed taking part in the government of others is a responsibility to be earned and not a natural right nor a privilege to be universally granted. How far we are from the ideals of this great colored teacher. We do not prize the right of citizenship enough to use it, much less to earn it as he would have us do. But if we were forced to work for the privilege of voting we might appreciate it more. Train children to love and respect home life and homely virtues. These things are the most precious of all assets in life. There should be no substitute for them. Engineering for Service With the twang of a clock-spring, carried over a short stretch of wire one June day in 1875, came a discovery that was to be of incalculable value to mankind. On that day the telephone was born, and a new vocation came into being, the profession of telephone engineering. Today, 49 years later, a host of men, successors of Bell and his single assistant, are applying their trained abilities to the complex problems of meeting the nation's demand for telephone service. They explore the unknown and adapt the knowledge in Science. They bring thoroughness of specialists to tasks of construction, operation management. Their common objective is an improved service whereby man may substitute voice for his physical presence in distant places. Engineered and not hazard effort has brought triumphs that mark advance the convenience of the telephone. Because of this effort there is a communion of communication without which America, as know it, could not exist. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company BELL SYSTEM One Policy • One System • Universal Service BUSINESS STABILITY IN EUROPE WILL RAISE WORLD STANDARD OF LIVING" Stabilization of Europe's economic situation through operation of the Dawes plan will bring a revival of world trade in which the United States cannot fall to participate and benefit, according to a survey issued yesterday by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the Department of Commerce. At present, the department estimates the actual quantity of merchandise entering into international trade is only about 80 per cent of pre-war figures, the decline being due to lowered standards of production and consumption over a large part of eastern and central Europe. This economic derangement has been awaiting settlement of political problems. Business stability in Europe will result in largely increased exports therefrom, the survey continues, and while this will bring much sharper competition in international trade, it will raise consuming power and standards of living all over the world. During the five years immediately preceding the war Europe took approximately 62 per cent of our exports and furnished about 49 per cent of our imports. Last year the percentages had declined to 50 for exports and 30 for imports. With the rest of the world our trade balance has been, and is, against us. It is pointed out that while German competition will be keener, it will be on a sound basis and not stimulated by depreciating currency; that German industries will carry a bonded indebtedness similar to that carried before the war and that their tax burden will It is pointed out that while German competition will be keener, it will be on a sound basis and not stimulated by depreciating currency; that German industries will carry a bonded indebtedness similar to that carried before the war and that their tax burden will be equivalent to those in other countries. The depreciation of the mark, the survey points out, has resulted in a large proportion of German profits going immediately into plant construction and other commodity values. Accordingly, the German industrial machine is capable of enormous productivity, but faces a severe shortage of fluid working capital. To meet the separation demand placed upon her by the Dawes plan, Germany must not only have work opportunities but most largely invest in exports, the survey continues. In her most prosperous year 1927, German imports amounted to 10,439,200,000 gold marks and exports to 50,097,200,000 market. The deficit was overcome by profitable exports—chisel shovels, retries, and incomes from foreign investments—so that Germany had a favorable balance (at about 1,000,000,000 sold marks). Present figures are, of course, much smaller—and the survey states, "it is highly improbable that the Reich could remit as much as 657,600,000 (the annual reparation payment under complete operation of the Dawes plan) without having an excess of merchandise exports over imports." One way of meeting German competition will be for this country to invest more heavily abroad, particularly in Latin America and the Far East, the survey continues since in expanding world trade, the tendency will be for our imports to exceed exports. PARAGRAPHS By ROBERT QUILLEN It's still all right to call England "she." The woman pays. Some time in September let's mobilize the taxpayers. The man in the street isn't thinking now: he's dodging. You can't always tell. Wheat went up and it wasn't prohibited. We have no honor list in this country, but we have some nice Ambassadorships. It's darned discrimination, that's what it is, not to mobilize the sweater knitters. A Bohemian is much like other people except that he doesn't know what an ash tray is for. American consuls are about as good as any, except they are poor insurance risks. If Dawes can be silenced so easily, how wholly quiet he would be if nominated for President. It's sweet of France to get out of the Ruhr when she can't manage the darned thing. Still, why should France waste good money on us when so many little countries need arming? Every school should have a flag and an enlarged photograph of a cemetery in France. Another nice thing about being poor is that you can refuse a loan without lying. Mexico is efficient. All she needs to enforce the agrarian law is a few carbines and a bit of hemp. If Germany pays poor starving France, it's going to be a good day for the manufacturers of airplanes. Th' law abidin' citizen must have a peach of a memory t' remember all th' laws. Th' feller that owes ever buddy may not be down, but he's allus out.

LEWIS HEISLER BALL Lewis Heisler Ball, Republican senator from Delaware, faces a bitter fight to keep his seat in the senate. The struggle between Ball, the incumbent, and Coleman T. du Pont, former senator, for the G.O.P. nomination in that state, is being anxiously watched in party councils. Delaware now has one Democratic senator, Thos. P. Bayard. Born Sept. 21, 1861, near Wilmington, Del., Ball attended Rugby Academy from which he was graduated in 1879. He received the degree of Ph. B. from Delaware College in 1882 and M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1885. He was the state treasurer of Delaware from 1898 to 1900, when he was elected representative to the Fifty-seventh Congress. Following this he was elected to an unexpired term in the United States senate and served from March 2, 1892, to March 4, 1905. Ball’s home is in Marshalltown, Del. He was married to Catherine Springer Justice, November 14, 1893. He has been chairman of the New Castle County Republican committee since 1894 with the exception of two years, when he was state chairman. On November 5, 1915, he was again elected to the senate for a full term of six years. Ball was a delegate to the national convention in 1896 at St. Louis which nominated William McKinley for President and also a delegate to the convention in Chicago which nominated Warren G. Harding. Pat was walking along by the side of a golf course then suddenly he was struck between the shoulders by a golf ball. The force of the blow almost knocked him down. When he recovered he saw a golfer running towards him. “Are you hurt much?” asked the player, anxiously. “Why didn’t you get out of the way?” “An’ why should I get out of the way?” asked the Irishman. “I didn’t know there were any assassins round here at all.” “But I called ‘fore!’ said the player. “And when I say ‘fore!’ that is a sign for you to get out of the way.” “Oh, it is, is it?” replied Pat. “Well, thin, whin I say ‘folve’ it is a sign that you are going to get hit on the nose. Folve!” “Hi-lo, hi-lee,” merrily yodeled a tourist who had left his car and rambled out onto a bluff in the woods to give certain other tourists on the bluff across the creek a musical treat. “Hi-lo, illy-ae-ho-o-o-o.” “Looky yur, podner,” said a native, rising up from behind a big bush. “While I never was one to butt into anybody else’s business I’m yur to say that if you’re trying to call hawgs you’ll have to do better than that.” Two Irishmen were watching a Shriner’s parade. “Who are those fellows, Mike?” “They’re Shriners.” “And what are Shriners?” “Why, they’re Masons.” “Sure and what the civil do they want now? They’re gettin’ $18 a day.” “We were playing to practically empty houses the whole time, and one night there were just a few people dotted about the theatre.” “For a few minutes in one scene in ‘Dear Old Warrior,’ I have the stage complains so myself, and Holman has told in the most lugubrious solemn voice we met alone?” On this lily upset ed all replies...

Oh, I've lost all my money, And many friends, too; But I still have my health, And there's plenty to do. A wide swath and a short one. A pupil with defective vision can't be expected to see the point his teacher makes. School boards that neglect to provide fire escapes, too often find the cost in the holocaust.

When it comes to clothing, appropriate for the season, you can't beat a heavy coat of summer tan. Diseased tonsils often cause arthritis and arthritis, in school children, interferes with arithmetic. "Have you lived all your life In this malarial hole?" Sald the man with the fly And a ten dollar pole; The poor native shivered And his answer was droll— "Not yet—M-Mister—Not yet."
