This message was suggested by Government and war leaders who apparently are concerned about a certain matter and here it is. A fighting man is only as good as his fighting heart . . .

This means that a certain, thoughtless, small percentage of American women must do their duty to their country by giving their absent fighting men more consideration.

UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING MYSTERY No secret meetWASHINGTON. ings with the military were held by the Woodrum house committee which urged what it called "a broad policy of universal military train- ing. No special information concerning difficulties ahead of this nation was privately passed to the committee by the war department which has been promoting the youth draft. Specifically, no inside scare over Russia inspired the committee. Consequently, considerable perplexity has developed as to how and why it went contrary to the weight of evidence in its own hearings. It seemed to vote 16 to 0 in favor of a program which none of its hearing witnesses endorsed, except the army, navy, state department and the U. S. chamber of commerce, against the popular opposition of national educational groups, both major national labor organizations, two of the three national farm organizations, as well as the usual peace societies, and womens groups. To make the mystery more possible, one member of the committee says he has received only two letters from his district in favor of the youth draft, while he has a bushel of mail against it.

The second untouchable mark belongs to Babe Ruth and his count of 60 home runs, piled up in 1927. There is another pretty fair ball player by the name of Tyrus Raymond Cobb who has To bis credit a different set of figures that no one now living will ever see equaled.

This same record also Includes 892 stolen bases, well beyond Eddie Collins turn of 744. Cobb, Ruth and Gehrig, all American Leaguers, complete the trio that offers the toughest targets on the batting side of the game. And when you mention the two greatest ball players of all time, Cobb and Ruth draw most of the votes although Hans Wagner still has a stout following that refuses to be shaken loose.
