The amazing point concerning Connie Mack is the youthful spirit and the youthful keenness he still holds about his job of managing a ball club. On this spring trip to Anaheim, Calif., he gives you the impression of a young manager anxious to make good.

He has been in baseball as player and manager for 60 years. But those 60 years have taken nothing away from the fire that still blazes in his soul. The vital spark shows no sign of any smoldering ash. In his day he has had at least three great teams. For one reason or another, largely financial, he has had to break them up and build again. Today he is just as keen and eager to build another as he ever was before. Connie expects and hopes to win another pennant before he marches into baseball's Valhalla.

For a few days last August it seemed to us as though black darkness had enveloped the whole world, and Christianity and all the other lesser codes that preach love and forgiveness had failed, and there was no hope for civilization or mankind. But now the smoke of battle has cleared away a little, and it is for us to treat this calamity as we do all the less important calamities of life. To fix our eyes even more steadily upon our ideal, pick up the shattered pieces of wrecked hopes, and go forward again. For those of us who feel that we know God at all, know absolutely that His first law is love and that We may be slow and love is peace. stupid and blind about making for our goal, but as long as it is His, it is there beyond us, and we draw nearer to it every time we wipe out one single little speck of hate and revenge in this world, and put in its place forgiveness.

But you won't see it in this picture; she had to tuck it under her belt so that it wouldn't show. Sear in the end, the women of this generation will have made a great and lasting contribution to the cause of peace and world progress. any romantic plans we have for being generous to a recent foe, to doing good to them that have despitefully used us, is simply not practicable. A Fair Deal for All. Nevertheless, I challenge all the American women who read these lines to set to work at once in their own minds and souls to formulate a definite peace plan, as contrasted to what we have been using before, an indefinite one. I mean a map of the world that gives every nation a more than fair break, a generous break. I mean to apportion oil land, rubber, iron, wheat lands honestly, balancing and changing this map until every nation is willing to say, ‘"‘We are content.'' I mean for each country to sacrifice something in land, in rich undeveloped tracts, in harbor rights ;I mean the establishment of many open ports. The churches have failed to do anything as concrete as this. The rulers have failed. They are all willing to find billions for guns and bullets; they are all afraid to give millions for help. "Why on earth should we-rich, independent, protected America- help Germany, or Japan, or any other country?"' they demand. ‘‘We have enough charity at home." Yes, but they don't count what those countries, as enemies, cost us today, and cost us yesterday, in lives, dollars and arms. If America had loaned the stricken countries of the world $1,000,000,000 15 years ago, she might have saved nine times that sum in the sudden terror of increased armament that has possessed her.

When the ship stopped at Panama she bought some lottery tickets. She won $52,000. She promptly abandoned her career, and devoted herself to enjoying her wealth.
