(“A state income tax department is
reported considering a suggestion that
it cultivate the good will of taxpayers
by sending them Christmas cards
every year.”—News item.)
Mr. Twitchell looked at the pretty
card. “Seasonal Greetings from the
State Income Tax Bureau,” was the
inscription on it below a picture of a
tally-ho. He put on his glasses and
read it again. Then he called Mrs.
Twitchell, excitedly.
“What’s this?”
he demanded, ap
prehensively.
“It’s a greeting
from the income
tax department,”
said Mrs. Twitch-
ell.
“There’s some
thing behind it,”
declared Mr.
Twitchell with
conviction and emphasis.
“There can’t be anything behind a
greeting card," argued Mrs. Twitch
ell.
“I’m calling my tax accountant
Just the same,” snapped Mr. Twitch-
ell.

“Is this you, Hemphill?” asked
Elmer as he rang his tax account
ant. “Good! This is Twitchell. I
think I had better see you at once.”
“What’s happened?”
“It’s a communication from the
Income Tax Bureau.”
“Well, what does it say?"
“It just says, ‘Seasonal Greetings
from the State Income Tax Bu
reau,’ ” explained Mr. Twitchell.
“Hm-mm-mm,” mused Hemphill.
“Maybe you’d better come in tomor
row and we’ll look over things.”
Mr. Twitchell
made the appoint
ment and hung
up. He was now
quite disturbed.
He didn’t like
that picture of a
tally-ho. It seemed
too much like the
police wagon.
“Always some
thing from those
tax departments,” he blurted, pac
ing the floor. “If it isn’t one thing
it’s another.”
“But, Elmer, why do you get so
excited. You made out an honest
return, didn’t you?” put in Mrs.
Twitchell.
“Of course. But what of it? You
have to keep explaining things, just
the same!”
“But this is just a greeting
card ...”
“I guess I’ll call up my lawyer,”
said Elmer, grabbing the phone.
• * •
HI.
“Dodson?” asked Elmer, getting
his attorney, “this is Twitchell. Did
you get any seasonal greetings from
the State Tax Bureau?”
“Calm yourself,” said Dodson.
“What’s the trouble?”
“I am in receipt of a card from
the State Income Tax Bureau, send
ing seasonal greetings. I don’t like
the looks of it."
“Just seasonal greetings? It
doesn’t ask any questions?”
“None. What does it mean?”
“I wouldn’t want to say without a
conference with my partners,” said
Dodson. “I haven’t had any case
just like that.”
“How soon can you see them?”
asked Elmer, anxiously.
“Tomorrow or next day. This is
quite new. I once had a case where
a Federal tax agent sent a birthday
card to a taxpayer and we found out
it called for no explanation from
us, but a seasonal greeting, well, it’s
quite new. Suppose you drop in day
after tomorrow. I’ll have an opin
ion.”

It was now late at night. Mr.
Twitchell suddenly got up out of bed,
took oS his pajamas and dressed,
even to his coat and hat.
“Why, Elmer, where are you go
ing?” asked Mrs. Twitchell.
“I can’t sleep. I think I’d better
do it,” he said.
“Do what?”
“Address a card to the tax bureau,
wishing it well. It’s just courtesy.”
• • •
Mr. Twitchell addressed a card,
mailed it and went back to bed. But
he didn’t sleep well.
He couldn’t expect to until after
those conferences with his account
ants and attorney.

REVISED SPELLING
Hitler uses the personal pronoun
“I” once in every 53 words, leading
all speakers in the world in that re
spect. Mussolini is second with an
“I” for ever 83 words. This answers
for all time the question, “Popper,
how many I’s in ‘dictator’?”

OBSERVATIONS.
He who desires to hit the man higher
up had better wait until he can reach
him.
Ambition is the spark that ignites the
motor of determination.
Live as most men live . . . and die a
nonentity.
Choose between extremes: the green
and the over-ripe fruit cause the worst
pain.

Wanna bet’
Our hearts are sick with discouragement and failure today. War it a forest fire that
spreads in all directions and may blow across the Atlantic.
By KATHLEEN, NORRIS
F IVE hundred women have writ
ten me passionate appeals to
“do something” about the pres
ent war situation, and if 500 have
taken such trouble it means that
about 5,000 feel that way so here
are some suggestions that may help
you satisfy the mad craving that we
all feel to help if we can.
This feeling is partly fear, partly
shame, and partly despair. It is
naturally fear, for war is a forest
fire that spreads in all directions
and may blow across the Atlantic
any day. It is shame because a
sensible world, and a world more
over that professes to believe in the
doctrines of Jesus Christ, in forgive
ness and meekness and goodness,
has somehow let things get to such
a pass. It is despair because we
who remember 1914 truly believed
that matters would never reach this
point again.
“What is left for us to do now?”
we ask in bitter discouragement, we
who have given our time and our
energies during these 20 years in a
vain effort to show war up in its
true colors to those who must fight
and die in the ranks, to establish
better national understanding every
where, to clear the way for lasting
peace. 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
love is peace. We may be slow and
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 re
venge in this world, and put in its
place forgiveness.
Hatred Is Dangerous.
Forgiveness is a hard word. It
is not a natural thing to forgive.
We need supernatural powers to
love our enemies. We can get them
from only one source, and too often
we forget to turn toward it.
The other day I tried to settle a
violent quarrel between two small
children. One was four and the oth
er two years old, and neither had
ever known or seen or experienced
hate; theirs had been as serene and
sunny a background as any two lit
tle humans could have.
The small one had ripped up a
well-made doll’s bed and flung its
occupant and all the covers to the
far winds, and he was unashamed—
indeed, exultant over the deed. The
older child’s simple desire was to
maim her brother for life, tear his
eyes out, wipe that smile away for
ever. She was trembling and pale
with rage; she could neither breathe
nor speak normally. Panting as
she listened to the Gospel story she
said, “I’d crucify them all—and five
times, too!”
But after a few moments she
calmed, and when persuaded of her
own will to make her brother a pres
ent of a lollipop in token of forgive
ness, she first re-made the disrupt
ed bed, and then went and flung
herself on her own bed, to burst
into tears.
Now, if the difficult business of
forgiving can so agitate a scrap
of babyhood, we must expect that
if ever we are really to forgive our
enemies, really rebuild a blood
thirsty world along the lines of what
we truly profess and believe, we
must expect violent spiritual storms.
We must expect to be reviled and
scoffed at as a bunch of sentimen
talizing women. We must realize
that men are going to tell us that
‘DO SOMETHING’
Many American women are anxious
to ”do something” about present con
ditions in “this troubled world.”
Here are a few suggestions Kath
leen Norris makes:
Fix our eyes more steadily upon an
ideal.
Pick up shattered pieces of wrecked
hopes and go forward again.
W ipe out all hale and revenge in our
lives and in the lives of fellow-man.
Substitute for these things—forgive
ness.
Formulate a definite peace plan for
the world as substitution for the in
definite one we now possess.
Draft a first “American World Map”
end have all the nations of the world
draft maps that are nearest to their
ideas of equality and justice. Then
bring these nations together around the
conference table and adjust the dif
ferences.
Take as much time as is needed to
work out the complicated problems
that would arise in such a plan, but in
the end, the women of this generation
will have made a great and lasting con
tribution to the cause of peace and
world progress.
any romantic plans we have for be
ing generous to a recent foe, to do
ing good to them that have despite-
fully used us, is simply not practi*
cable.
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 estab
lishment 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 Ameri
ca had loaned the stricken coun
tries 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.
Women Could Do Mucti.
Our hearts are sick with discour
agement and failure today. But if
in another year, through some
American woman’s genius, or the
genius of several women working
together, a first American World
Map is drafted and submitted, and
if in two more years every nation
has scorned that map and drawn
up another nearer to its heart’s de
sire, and if in three years seven
countries have gotten together on a
map, and if in five years 28 coun
tries have agreed to it, in its hun
dredth changed and amended form,
then we will have made a contri
bution to world progress that no
other generation of women has
touched.
When that map is accepted every
country in the world will begin to
lessen military preparedness, and
the millions so saved will more than
balance any tariff rights or terri
torial concessions that we have had
to sacrifice.
T OS ANGELES.—Two youthful,
L-t venerable, sprightly, ancient
members of the sporting fraternity
are setting a new record in Cali
fornia this spring. Both arc on ac
tive duty and their combirAd ages
reach the tidy total
of 154 years.
Their names are
Connie Mack and
Amos Alonzo Stagg
—Connie and Lon
nie.
As Lonnie Stagg
starts spring prac
tice for his College
of the Pacific foot
ball team, Connie
Mack starts a new
year as manager of
the Philadelphia
Grantland
Connie and Lonnie are each 77
years old. Both have been high
lights in competitive sport for over
50 years. Both go well back into
the eighties for their start, so far
back that only a fading few today
remember the period that happened
to start them off and away on the
long, long trail.
About Connie Mack
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. Yet Connie Mack has
won at least nine American league
pennants, and he has packed away
CONNIE MACK
more than his share of World Se
ries triumphs. He has been in base
ball 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. He doesn’t
think it will be this year—not with
the Yankees and Red Sox barring
the road.
He has paid out as much money
this season as any other owner has
paid out—possibly more. And Con
nie is no millionaire. For above
everything else he wants one more
American league flag—one more
World Series championship.
Connie Mack was 42 years old
when I first met him in the Giants-
Athletic clash of 1905—the series
that lifted Christy Mathewson to the
heights. No one could have figured
then that this lean, middle-aged
sportsman would still be driving for
ward 35 years later, as young in
1940 as he was in 1905—as he was in
1890.
He Knows the Game
What makes Connie Mack a great
manager?
“He is one of the greatest I ever
knew,” Ty Cobb told me recently.
“Possibly the greatest, when you
figure the smaller bankroll he has
had to work with. Connie was never
a member of th. driving, hard-bit
ten type. He would rather encour
age you. But he was never any
softy. He always has demanded
condition and the hustling spirit.
Also, he has known every angle of
baseball—pitching and catching, in
field and outfield play, baseball
strategy, baseball psychology. And
a ball player who wouldn’t hustle
for Connie Mack would never battle
for anyone.”
You have part of the answer here.
You might look back over some of
the cast that Connie has called to
the field—
Catchers—Mickey Cochrane, Wal
ly Schang, Cy Perkins and others.
Pitchers—Rube Waddell, Eddie
Plank, Chief Bender, Jack Coombs,
Herb Pennock, Bob Grove, George
Earnshaw, Joe Bush.
Infielders—Stuffy Mclnnis, Eddie
Collins, Jack Barry, Homerun Bak
er, Jimmy Foxx, Jimmy Dykes
and many others. And star outfield
ers who are far too numerous tc
