Hard Game
Cracked skulls and broken arms
are not unusual among players of
Jai Alai, the Spanish game. Play
ers have to handle a ball half the
size of a baseball and almost as
hard as a golf ball at terrific
speed. A "softer" game was need
ed for less reckless athletes. So
American "soft ball" is being in
troduced.

New York. ? A new type of fairy
tale is being evolved in the United
States in which the characters jump
in rocket ships from planet to plan
et, use death rays and other crea
tions of a super-science, Clemence
i Dane, English critic, asserts in the
North American Review.
"The peri of Arabian Nights is a
majestic female, differing only from
her human sister in her superior
beauty and in her magic powers.
The English elf, on the other hand,
lurks in a cowslip bell, and has an
irresponsible sense of humor,"
points out Miss Dane. And indeed
there is no country in the world
which fairies have not haunted, no
land in the world which is not 'ful
j fild with fayrie' ? except the United

States. This republic has not do
mesticated the wendigo and the
summer-maker of the Indian, for
it is a modem state, a state whose
wonders are material, 'scientific.'
And since science is the absolute
foe of mystery, how then can there
be magic in America?
Craves to Be Illuded.
"Yet the most modern human
craves to be illuded. He has moods
ir. which ho feels that it is his
right to understand the speech of
the wind and see the light that
never was on land or sea. He
must put the moon in his pocket
sometimes, and split open an
orange so that a princess may step
out. Beast must befriend him,
birds advise him. He must wield
an invisible sword, wear an invisi
ble cap, and be shod with galoshes
of fortune. That is his need: this
it is in his nature to desire and no
material splendors nor abstractions
o. the arts will do instead. He is
hungry for magic and nothing else.
Ii a word he must have his fairy
tale.
"But the moderns do not believe
in fairy-tales. What is to be done?
The old world squares the circle
tjy feeding itself with fairy-tales in
childhood and renouncing belief in
them afterwards. But Uncle Sam
has only his fading Indian legends
? the fairy-tales of anothe: race.
What then is he to do?
Entirely New System.
"Go without? Not at all. He is
not to be cheated out of a good
thing, and he solves the problem
of supplying this vitamin in his
spiritual daily food in a character
istically American way. He has
invented, or he is at present about
the business of inventing, an en
tirely new system of fairy-tales that
shall satisfy all his desires for the
unknown, shall give him breathless
illusions and incredible visions, and
yet shall satisfy his machine-gov
erned, machine-stimulated, scien
tific consciousness," continues Miss
Dane in the North American Re
view. "A pumpkin which turns into
a fairy coach is a piece of silliness,
but he is perfectly ready to accept
a robot, the superspeed ship which
takes him in one turn of the handle
beyond the farthest star of known
space and into another dimension
altogether. He will accept a robot,
but not a dragon. He will travel to
Jupiter, but not to the Islands of
the Blessed.
"We English go to ths past for
our fairy-tales, America to the fu
ture. The Old World knows that
once there wa.T a golden age. The
New World knows that some day
there will be a golden age, and all
her fairy-tales concern this future."

OPTIMISM
By
LEONARD A. BARRETT
Optimism is the tendency to take
the most hopeful view of all mat
ters; the opinion
that everything
is ordered for the
best. Fatalism is
the belief that
things occur ac
cording to a Axed
order which is
pre - deter
mined; the belief
that all things
happen by inevit
able necessity.
Although these
two words ap
p e a r at first
thought to be
contradictory, are they not mutual
ly and dependently related? Is not
an appreciation of the philosophy of
fatalism essential to an intelligent
optimistic view of life? There is a
great deal of superficial optimism in
the world, sentiment of the "Polly
ana" type expressed in the thought
that, regardless of the reign of law,
everything will turn out for the best,
that events of our experience hap
WATCH HIS SMOKE
Next season the tig leagues are
likely to hear a lot about this young

years old, a recruit pitcher for the
Cleveland Indians. He has a re
markably fast ball and already has
pitched some very good games. Bob

pen by chance and are always fa
vorable to us. This is not the type
of optimism referred to in this arti
cle. We are more interested in a
more intelligent optimism which
has a philosophical basis and is the
logical result of a steadfast view of
the universe.
The intelligent optimist believes
in the fixed order of nature's laws
and knows that violation of those
laws does not occur just to suit his
whims. He recognizes that nature's
laws may be depended upon abso
lutely, because they are inexorable.
Here we discover the real justifica
tion of an optimistic view of life.
In other words, we may be as
sured not only that things will hap
pen by inevitable necessity, but that
the element of necessity, be it favor
able or unfavorable to us, is the
direct result of our obedience or
disobedience to law.
The intelligent optimist is confi
dent that obedience to certain fixed
laws most bring definite known re
salts. On this he bnilds his faith.
This positive assurance gives him
hope and trust. He knows he cannot
be worsted in any conflict with na
ture's laws if he has conformed t:
her decrees.
What is true in the world of na
ture is also true in the social and
moral world. The testimony of ex
perience convinces us that obsta
cles and disappointments have a
definite value in the development of
character. Obstacles have always
proved themselves necessary to
progress. Even our unrealized ide
als give us a sense of work well
done.
"What I aspired to be
And was not, comforts me."
The quality of our life shows
whether we respect or abuse moral
and social laws.
Optimism is not dependent upon
pathological conditions but is a con
trollable attitude of mind and heart.
The will to be an optimist meets
the first situation. Nothing can ever
' I ^ HOSE who are making a col
*? lection of old glassware that
has designs of deep cutting or press
ing, realize that the pieces are real
ly beautiful only when they are
bright and shining. This is true of
modern glass also, of course, but
the antique pieces more frequently
have deeply imprinted patterns
than does modern glass, and this
makes them
harder to wash
and dry.
The first thing
of importance is
to have a good
solution to wash
the glass in, and
of the proper
temperature. A
tea spoonful o f
washing soda
and two or three
teaspoonfuls o f
powdered soap to
four quarts of hot
water is recom
mended. After
the soda and
soap have dis
solved, let the
water be very
warm but not
scalding hot, and
then put in the
glassware.
At first do not
immerse glass
completely. I f
there is hollow ware such as tum
blers, goblets, pitchers, etc., put the
pieces in on their sides with water
to half fill them. This allows the
glass to exp?nd, as it does under
heat, and do this slowly. Allow the
heat gradually to penetrate the
glass. Otherwise the heat may be
too sharp and sudden and breakage
occur.
Cloth and Brush.
A brush is a great aid in cleaning
glass with deep cutting or impres
sions. The bristles will get into
crevices a dishcloth cannot, espe
cially if the brush rotates as is the
case with the kind used for washing
bottles. Such a brush is good for
cleaning the inside of vases, as well
as outside crevices.
Drying cut glass has always of
fered problems. Jewelers overcome
the difficulties by burying the pieces
in jewelers' sawdust until the mois
ture is entirely absorbed, and then
polishing the pieces with a cloth
and brush. The homemaker will
scarcely have a sufficiently large
quantity of this sawdust, nor wish
to give the time to drying by this
slew process. The next best thing
is to have plenty of towels, keeping
a dry one always for final polishing,
after using a first one for drying
the glass. When polishing the
pieces, omit no crevices. A brush
for polishing is a good idea.
There are times with everyone
when it is necessary to keep in con
tact with others, and aga-n there
occur that will ultimately defeat the
purpose of the Infinite.
"God's in his heaven
All's right with the world."
? Western Newspaper Union.
are times when it is necessary to
protect oneself against intrusions on
time or on strength. It is possible
to aid in furthering both objects as
the necessity arises. Of the two
things, it is easier to get in
touch with others by means of
phonos and telegrams, notes and
letters, than it is to shield our
selves from the company of others
or from contacting them by tele
phone. This latter instrument is
a blessing at most times, but at
others it becomes a bother.
When we want immediate contact
ing of others, the phone and the
telegraph are the best means. The
former is quicker, but no more sure.
We may decide to go to the theater,
but are not sure if seats are avail
able. A few moments at the phone
and we contact the box office, and
know.
We may be out and wish to con
tact home, and the phone puts us in
touch with the family. If we are
out, and wish to be in call of the
family or of our business, we can
leave word where we can be
reached. More sure still is it to
leave the telephone number so that
no one has to be bothered to hunt it
up.
Securing Privacy.
When privacy is wanted, and free
dom from bothering calls such as
from cleaners, agents, etc., the
phone need not be listed. This is
frequently done. The telephone
company will not give such num
bers out. It remains for the per
son having the phone to give the
number to those he or she wishes
to receive telephone calls from.
When a person must get some
work by a specified time, and can
not be interrupted, it is well to
have some place in the house where
neither doorbell nor phone can be
heard. In case of illness in a home
and phone calls would be disturb
ing some member of the family can
ask friends not to phone the house.
