One hundred and eighty years
after hia b'rth at a simple farm
house in Virginia admirers, of
Thomas Jefferson have launched
a campaign to acquire'as a nation
al memorial to the author of the
Declaration of Independence the
Jefferson family home of Mbnti
cello, Imilt. on the old farm near
the spot where he was born.
Every one of the great men
who helped to found, this repub
lic, whose privileges we . today
have been thus, enabled to enjoy,
deserves not only an abiding place
in the memory of every true Am
erican, but a concrete evidence of
that grateful remembrance.
- Certainly in '.this group of Im
mortals. Thomas Jefferson occu
pies a conspicuous seat of honor.
The promoters of the memorial
campaign should, therefore, ex
perience little difficulty In secur
ing the funds needed to secure the!
Jefferson home as a national heir
loom. , j
Monticello is espciallv adapted
to the purpose of honoring Tho
mas Jefferson's memory because
it is so intimately connected with
bis daily life. He chose, the site,
helped with the clearing of the
land, drew . the designs for ' the
house, selected the stone and
timber, planned the gardens,
shrubberies tnd roadways, .ar
ranged the rooms and interior
decorations and never abated his
close management of everything
connected with the estate, how
ever heavy his public cares and
duties. - j m- ;
, Should the plans under way be
carried to a successful conclusion
visitors to the capitol!'wlll Include
in the sight-seeing a -visits lo
Monticello as they now dot to
Mount Vernon. In the beauty of
its setting Monticello is a worthy
rival of Mount " Vernon. Inj the
eyes of his countrymen it has the
added value that this, one of the,
most picturesque homes in Amer
ica, was designed by the same
hand- and' brain that composed
the Declaration of Independence.

A Tne Tales, a young nrsf Base
man should observe in fielding his
position are not many but ex
tremely important.. "
One of .the most Important of
.all Is to get th? correct position
of the feet on the base for a put
out. -t . Nearly every beginner tries
to touch, the bag with his right
( foot, wh'ch Is wrong. It forces
'him to cross his legs, lie should
nse his lefjt foot In touching the
;ba9 to irke a put-out. " This
rule Is essentia1. Do not violate
it: Get started right. -?
A ) - Xearn Thjpre to Stand
- Each f young1 first ' baseman
shonld determine for himself
: jwhere -to stand In the field when
'there-Is no runner on .first?
good rule is to play about 15
feet away trQm first base towards
second, and about lQ'feet or more
outside: the baseline, a But,' if a
first baseman is weak on catch
ing grounders to his right, he
should play still farther towards
tecond so i that "more of ' the
gruonder fwill come'to his left.
Vice versaf if he if he is weak on
ground balls . to his A left, he
houfd pta" close to first base so
that more of them will come to
his right! I Each .player must de
cide on thiis point for himself.
The abve, however, applies
on'y to Scales where no . runners
are oh bases. If there is a man
on first, the firet baseman should
stand on the bag, ready to re-
( ceive a .throw from the pitcher.
As soon ; as the pitcher starts to
piNrh, he Tuns to his fielding po
sition. I f r ' ' A : ? ' I'M 'a; '

the gentle sex indicates a substan

is a feeling in their; hearts that,
in spite of any inherent weakness,
ea in the League, if is still an
agency fir the extension of peace.
There i also a realization that
the League would be Immensely
strengthened by American partici-r
pation. -It is also realized that
all the detailed objections to the
constitution of the League could
have been corrected atj the time of

Therefore, objection to America's

world organization is like refusing
membership in a union of peace
and good will. In spite Of para
lyzing conditions the .League has
accomplished much already and
everything it has done has the
backing , of the best American
sentiment. It has. a home and a
strong: working" organization.
There are fifty-two nations on its
membership roll and some others
eagerly waiting in the ante-room.
It has taken the lead in great
humanitarian crusades. .It has
created a tribunal of world jus
tice. It has already prevented
several peoples from resorting to
the sword. It has j furnished a
clearing house for national and
international treaties and almost
put an end to secret diplomacy. It
furnishes a ; compact reference
body for any great emergency. It
is the governor on the engine that
makes the' world go 'round. 'Its
moral possibilities are boundless.
These are qualities; that appeal

It it is true, as Sir Arthur Co-
nan Doyle 'thinks tt may be, that
the bug which bit lyord Carnar
von was guided by the spirit of
Tut-Ankh-Amun, what on earth
is going ta happen to the rest of
us?. !
TheJ mortality among press
paragraphers is going to be terri
ble. The friends of the cartoon
ists might as well begin ordering
flowers now. Stage monologists
and dialoguists will vanish from
the face of the earth.. There won't
be a headline writer left in Chris
tendom and no end of ' schools of
science will have to shut down for
lack of, professors.
The outlook seems doleful; ' in
deed. Yet cheer tip. There is
plenty of room for s hope thai Sir
Arthur may have his wires all
twisted. Let him look at the mat
ter thrqugh the eys of Sherlock
Holmes, student of human nature,
and he'll have to admit that him
self. ' For If there was1 any man liv
ing to whom Tutshpuld have' been
grateful it 'was Carnarvon. .Who
that is human or'ever was human
wouldn't thank the manwho dug
him out of a dark place where he'd
been walled up for S5 00 years and
gave him greater fame than he'd
ever known before, made him the
glass of fashion and the mold of
fdrlti and established him as a
world fad? j . j
j True, many of us have taken
great liberties with his name and
general repute. But that is and
always has been one of the ac
cepted penalties of fame, and
there is every Indication that Tut
was fond of fame ' In his prime..
And even If he might be inclined
to.be resentful of such liberties,
isn't there any statute of limita
tions? Even the divinity jwhich
doth hedge a king can't be ex
pected to compel awe after 3500
years, at least not from people
who never were in his Jurisdic
tion.. The chances are that Tut would
be the first man, alive or dead, to
pay tribute to Jhis deliverer.
Think what he has done. for this
benighted century!" he would ej
claim. ' "He has given it a chance
to look on me and my glory.
Truly, he is a man among count
less millions. Republics may be
ungrateful, but surely this foolish
modern world must know better,
than to expect such ingratitude as
that from a monarch who built
as fine a tomb in honor of himself
as I did." A i A

Answer to yesterday'
After months of anxious sus
pense, fluctuating from the
heights, of hope to the depths of
despair, the public at last breathes
freely again. The conclusive test
has taken place. Doubt and mis
giving have- been set at rest.
Science has vindicated Albert
Einstein and established the law
of relativity. ' ;
It Is all true gloriously true
the sun can draw the stellar rays
to the extent of one and sevent'y-fpur-hnndredths
seconds of arc
exactly ,as. Einstein predicted.'
What effect thisji will eventually
have, on fre future pf the race i3,
of course.) still problematical. But
the fact remains and whatever the
consequences civilization will have
to face them. Yet the world real
ly has no cause for alarm. (A1
though we didn't know it. the sun
has been - deflecting stellar rays
long before the total, eclipse of
1923 enabled: us to verify the
theory or I Eihstein first ! pro
pounded it. ; :
