You can fight this order just to long. "For example professional football met this challenge and made its change. To the teamsL Los Angeles and Sail Francisco were added. The addition of these teams added immeasurably to the growth and development of the game and will continue to do so. Recently Dallas was added to the pro grid map.

Don shows that in the recent awards and distribution of deserved prises at Missouri practically every recipient came from that state. or Pittsburghs Eagles Steelers in the matter of attendance. Big league baseball has made no such changes. It has defied progress. Today Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Baltimore, Buffalo and Houston have larger attendance figures to draw on than some major leagne cities but they cannot mond break into the opoly of the big league game. Baseball has stuck with the 11 cities and 16 franchises it picked up fifty years ago and has made no move since. In spite of the vast changes in population and interest shown, the old game, has plodded along, clinging desperately to the past with any views of the future completely hidden. It may be the original setup left no way to handle this situation. There is a big chance a change will come some day in a general revolt of potential major league cities now left out that will tear many of the teams in the two older leagues into shreds. It may not happen. But it could. Football hasnt been too smart in many directions, but it has been smarter than baseball. And baseball had much the earlier start The franchise point is that a means much to a city really deserving it. One must admit that three big leagues would be upsetting when it came to any world series. It is fairly certain however that one big league for a city is about all the traffic will bear outside of New York and possibly Chicago. They have millions in the way of population to give them a two league chance. big-leag- I have seen Missouri teams in the year.

You see, she confided to Dorics Merton, who was to be maid of honor at the wedding, Larry could hardly expect me to accompany him on these excursions into the wilderness. After all he has enough money so that this business hes interested in forestry could be classed as a hobby." Dorice was dubious. I sometimes wonder. Matt, whether or not youre wise in marrying Larry. Somehow I feel that he expects youll be eager to follow him into the woods. Asburdl How could he expect me to get a thrill out of trees. Besides, theres that little summer home of his just outside of town. Id much prefer to live there where I can entertain my friends and make some good use of his money. It was rather an elaborate wedding. Marthas mother, who called her daughter extremely fortunate at making such a catch, went the limit. She didnt want Larry to think Martha was hopelessly poor. The. couple spent a two weeks honeymoon on Long Island and returned to Larrys summer home in Albany in late September. All during the boat ride up the Hudson, Larry talked of the woods rnd their glory in autumn. That night he said: Better get your packing done, honey. Were leaving early. Martha arched her brows In surprise. My packing!

Worry .simply destroys youth and beauty. mans career Nothing Jiafhpers-as does a worrying wife. Often when she is worrying because Jim doesnt advance faster and make more money, her worry is the thing that is stopping him. Worrying mothers have nervous babies. They know that everything is all wrong, and they cant do anything about it. So they become tearful, go back to wetting the bed, lose appetite and get attacks of asthma, colds, nausea. A bracing, confident home atmosphere would do for them what no doctor can do. One mother I knew used to take three small children to the circus every year. She worried so much about them that nobody got much fun out of the circus. It's a curious thing, she said to me, that my children are always sick on the way home from the circus and all that night. It wasnt curious at all to me. Children reflect grown-u- p moods as sensitive sea plants shrink from hot winds. Mothers worrying dries up their small spirits before they have time to flower. When older children dont eat, do poor school work, imagine grievances and slights, look for the worrying mother. She is there. because Dis invitation to that party hasnt come, because she forgot to tell Louella - about the extra milk, because Grandmas birthday is tomorrow, and so on and on until she has covered with a thick coating of worry, every possible duty or situation that the day is likely to They departed by train the next develop. morning.
