There is something abnormal in any group of American boys which allows a baseball game to be interrupted even by the Day of Judgment. More in keeping with the American scene is the information from J.B. Day of Alexandria, Virginia, that the doctrine of service has been extended to include "readiness to serve" and that a charge is made for said "readiness." Celia Baldwin, a housekeeper from Denver, Colorado recalls a screed of some weeks ago in which the journal "The Nation" lamented that pasteurization had taken the flavor out of cream.
