TOLERANCE IS NEEDED
In (he present state of unrest,
with crime rampant throughout the
land, the need for tolerance and co
operation among honest and well
meaning people is greater than ever
before.
Too much energy is being wasted
in fruitless wrangles over politics,
religion and other controversial mat
ters and too little is being spent in
sincere efforts to promote higher
standards of public and private con
duct.
People will always have different
views on many questions and no
amount of argument or abuse will
ever lead everyone to the same way
of thinking. It is proper to have
convictions and to stand by them, but
we should accord the same rights to
our neighbors.
On many of the vital problems of
our time a majority of people could
agree, if they would only lay aside
unimportant differences and join in
advancing those things that are real
ly worth while.
We spend much time in arguing
over fine points of theology, while
political corruption, social injustice
and general lawlessness prevail. We
are divided into a thousand warring
camps and organizations, when unity
is demanded as never before.
Those who foster strife are ap
plauded and followed, while pleas
for tolerance, broad-mindedness and
cooperation along useful lines are
ignored.
We are favored in prosperity and
opportunity beyond all other na
tions, yet we are wasting a great
portion of our priceless heritage
through senseless wrangling over
trivial matters. Above all things
else, we need to cultivate the spirit
of true brotherhood.
DOGS RACE WITH DEATH
Seldom has a more stirring story
appeared in the daily press than that
of the intrepid “mushers” and their
faithful dogs dashing across the
frozen Alaska wilderness, carrying
their precious cargo of antitoxin to
the diphtheria-stricken town of
Nome.
Bill Shannon, Jim Kalland, Bill
Green, Leonard Seppala and Gunnar
Kasson were the heroes of this thril
ing exploit, in which the distance of
650 miles from Nenana to Nome was
covered in relays in five and one
half days of travel day and night.
Kasson covered the final leg of the
trip in a howling blizzard, with the
mercury 30 degrees below zero. Kal
land made a record between Tolovana
and Hot Springs that will probably
stand t'Gr years to come. Green
made the 175 miles from Hot Springs
to Ruby in less than 16 hours of Arc
tic night. The others showed equal
endurance and courage.
According to Kasson, all this effort
would have been in vain, had it not
been for his big black dog, Balto,
leader of his crack team of 13 Si
berian malamutes. Kasson said:
“In the long trek across the snow
covered and blizzardiy trail, it was
Balto’s eyes that saw, when human
eyes had failed.”
For sheer grit and determination
the brilliant exploit of these “sour
doughs” and their wonderful dogs
has hardly been surpassed.

GERMAN SCIENTISTS WOULD
VIVISECT ALL MURDERERS
BERLIN, Feb. 25.—German scien
tists will endeavor to have legislation
passed suspending the death sentence
for murder in Germany, and to have
substituted a life sentence with the
prisoner at the disposal of science,
who would study his abnormalties in
an effort to devise safeguards against
crime. The idea was advanced fol
lowing the wholesale murders com
mitted by Harmann, who slew 23 vic
tims by sinking his teeth into their
throat and whose case attracted wide
attention.

(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.—It has been
a long, uphill trek for Cliff Heath
cote, outfielder of the Chicago Cubs,
but he has reached the smoother path
of stardom at last. Big league pilots
in St. Louis and Chicago labored
with Heathcote for six years until
last season, when he found himself
and added the vital battle eye to his
already acquired assets of speed and
fielding ability.
Heathcote hit .3Qj$ last season, the
first time he has entered the charm
ed circle since he first trod a big
league base-path. Baseball men see
in his success a change in the times
and types—an era in the national
game where leaders pay more atten
tion to development, persevering
against discouraging odds instead of
casting aside talent which fails to
show quickly signs of greatness.
Heathcote showed unusual promise
when he first attracted the attention
of Branch Rickey, St. Louis Cardinal
manager. Cliff was bought by Rickey
when he was with the York, Pa.,
independent team, shortly after grad
uating from Penn. State College. Giv
ing some seasoning with Houston
in the Texas League, he was recall
ed by the Cardinals in 1919. Rickey
was convinced he had a real “find”
when Heathcote hit .279 and fielded
sensationally in his first big league
season. But he developed fast along
every line except batting.
Heathcote boosted his batting mark
in 1920 to .284, but dropped down to
.244 in 1921, and the following year
was traded to Chicago for Max Flack,
a veteran. Bill Killefer, pilot of the
Cubs, then took Heathcote in hand
and coached him patiently. He hit
only .249 in 1923 and was not used
regularly, but last season he came
into his own. Besides hitting .308
Heathcote stole 26 bases, ranking
third to Carey and Cuyler of Pitts
burg, and wTas third among the reg
ulars of his league as a fielder.

He had remained on the vessel in or
der to gain first hand information on
which to base his reports of the tests.
He declared the only injury to the
personnel of the baot, had it remain
ed aboard, would have been the pos
sibility of someone being washed over
board by the water thrown over the
ship’s decks. He described the sensa
tions about the same as those pro
duced by firing a salvo from her big
guns.
