ARMY OFFICERS TO
LECTURE IN HIGH SCHOOLS.
Lectures will be Educational. Deal
ing with Changes Army Has I'm
dergOne Since World War.

SEATTLE, March 25-With a
view to establishing a closer rela-
tionship between the schools of the
country and the army, Col. Ohio w.
b. Farr, district army recruiting of
ficer announced today that he is plan
ming series of lectures by army of
ficers in high schools throughout
Western Washington.
These lectures, he explained. will
be of dual character. Primarily.
they will be ucationa'-describin
at length and in detail the revolu-
tionary changes which the Army has
undergone since and partly as a re-
suit of the World War, changes
which are far too recent to have been
incorporated in even the most modern
text books on the government Incl
dentally, the lecturer Will point out
the opportunity offered by the "new,
democratic, peace-timc army" to the
young man who finds u necessary to
leave school to earn living before
he is able to obtain all the education
he desires.

THE LEAvENWORTH ECHO

highway commission and the county
road commissioners were adjusted
last week at a conference in Olympia
as result of which the original road
building program outlined for this
year will be vigorously pushed. Bids
for construction of cement pave
ment road from the bridge east TO
Hellenbrand's corner, distance of
IL miles will be advertised at once
and the contract let April 26.
The pavement will be eighteen feet
wide of concrete and will conform to
the specifications of the United Stat
es and State Road Departments. One
half of the cost will be borne by the
United States Post Road fund
There is very little grading to be
done on this job and It is expected
that the work will be completed so
that the road will be open for traffic
by the first of August.

CHURCHES ARE FACING
EMPLOYERS PROBLEMS.
Financial Budget of Protestant
Churches will be Pledged Last
Week in April

The Protestant churches of the
United tSates are beginning to face
their problems as employers.
They are discovering that one of the
reasons that the church in some sec
tions is falling behind is that it has
been a poor employer. It has very
widely been guilty of paying low
wages to its employees, and in some
cases has neg TO pay living
wage. Pastors in rural districts and
small towns have been forced to work
as farm laborers in order to make
ends meet Teachers in denomina-
tional colleges have found their saar-
les utterly inadequate and have gone
into other work.
This hits the church hard blow
1t finds the ranks of its ministers de-
pleted, and when it turns to its col
leges, which are expected to train
men to fill the broken ranks of the
ministers. it finds them succumbing
to the deadly burden of an made
quate financial provision. Young
men. looking over the scale of pay in
the ministry, and comparing it with
that in other professions. or with
that of skilled artisans, become reluc-
tant to prepare themselves to be en-
ployees of the church
While the wages in eight of the
leading industries Of the United
States have increased 05 per cent,
during a period when the cost of liv-
ing went up so per cent, salaries of
teachers in Presbyterian colleges
have increased only 81 per cent. The
average pay of preachers in the Unit
ed States is 1887 a year and only one
out of one hundred receives as much
as $4,000 year. Government ex-
perts announce that 81, 800 is the low
est salary on which "a family can be
decently maintained Minister'S sal
aries in the United States have in
creased only 90 per cent in twenty
years.
One of the purposes for which the
financial budget of the Protestant
churches is being pledged the last
week in April, is to enable the church
better to fulfill its duty as an en-
ployer.

Colonel Farr stated that he had al
ready written to every high school
principal in this section of the state,
offering these lectures, and he ex-
pressed the hope that the idea would
met with general approval.
'The public as whole doesn't
know enough about the army" he de
clared. "Some people take it for
granted that its good, some that its
bad. Both classes have the wrong
viewpoint. They forget that the
army is their army-cssentially a
public institution, in which every tax
payer is shareholder. And, as
shareholders, it is their privilege
even their duty-to know what it is,
its good and bad points, what it offers
its members.
"Fm very much afraid that it will
never be possible for us to inculcate
this idea into the public of today
but, if we go into the schools now, we
can put II across TO the public OF to
morrow.
81 want to emphasize especially
that the recruiting side of these lee
lures in no way places the army in
the light of competition with civil
ian educational institutions. If a
young man has the means and the
opportunity to continue his education
in civil high school or college, we
advise him to do so. The men we are
after are the ones who, for financial
or other reasons. are forced to. leave
school before their education is COM
plete-for whom the new army fills a
vital and essential need"

MARYLAND TOSHOW
| HOPKINS BIC GAME
May Play North Carolina State
Thanksgiving Day in
Baltimore.

Maryland University will play
North Carolina State on Thanksgiv-
ing Day. The game will be staged in
Baltimore, Washington. College Park,
or Raleigh, N. c., according to the
latest dope.
1t Is expected that the announce
ment of the shift to North Carolina
for Thanksgiving Day will mean that
the annual Hopkins-Maryland battle
for Turkey Day will be done away
with.
Maryland and Hopkins drew gate
estimated at $4,000 in Baltimore last
fall. The Maryland authorities in
sisted upon a larger share of the gate
receipts, a bigger percentage. Figur-
ing that it outdrew Hopkins in the
annual game, the Maryland authori-
ties thought they were entitled to
more money. After the breach on the
Mackert case occurred, Maryland
went about scheduling another en-
gagement.
That the College Parkers intend GO
ing into Baltimore on Thanksgiving
Day to play shows they believe they
will outdraw Hopkins on its own soil
Washington, College Park, Nd, or
Raleigh, n. c., may get the game.

TITLE FROM JOE STECHER

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-The deadly
deadlock has today triumphed over
the furnishing body scissors, and Ed
Stranger Lewis, of Louisville, is the
new heavyweight catch as-catch- can
wrestling champion of the world.
Joe Stecher, exponent of the body
scissors, was uncrowned by the burly
Lewis after 1 hour, Al minutes, and
6 seconds of wrestling DIT the Seventy
first Regiment Armory, in a match
promoted by Jack Curley. Stechcr
was the mat-side favorite to win.
y Lewis, however, built himself up for
this match. He entered the contest
weighing 22S pounds. Stecher weighed
in at his customary 20S pounds, and
the advantage in weight told in Lewis
favor as the match wore on. Stecher
had been champion less than a year.
He won his title from Earl Craddock
in Madison Square Garden last
January.

Northeast men hope to perform
Sunday in best shape.
The Rex Athletic Club football
team knows il has to speed up con-
siderabTy' Sunday in it's game against
the Knickerbocker A. c. eleven IL II
expects to win. The Rexmen were
pretty we'll bunged up after playing
the John Marshall eleven, of Rich
mond, Saturday. and the Dread
naughts on Sunday.
Scouts who watched the knicker-
bockers play against the Navy Yard
team last Sunday maintained that IL
Sullivan and Mackert could be
stopped the Knickerbockers could
be beaten. The Navy Yard did not
put up it's best front against the
Knicks, the scouts declare.
Coach Lee Martin is aiming to have
his team in first class physical condi'
ton. A few new plays will be used
by the Rexmen in their engagement
on Sunday. Considerable work with
the defense will be indulgod in this
week before the big game at Union
Park on Sunday.

TOO MANY MAY BE
TOO MANY.

One of the Western coaches
is said to have sent his eleven
into their big games with Il
repertoire of seventy-fiye
plays. How the players can
master such an involved pro-
gramme in the short period OF
ten weeks isn't quite clear.
Descamps, Carpenters man
ager, says that the French
boxer has fifteen or twenty
different styles of fighting.
He showed only one against
Levinsky, and that wasn't such
a hummer.
Success in football and also
in boxing seems to be obtained
by choosing one style and mas
tering it.
Dempsey's style isn't a bad
one. Hit 'em hard and as
often as you can.

PRICE OF STARS
GOING UP.

The price Of ball players Is
still going up. The st. Louis
Cardinals are said to have put
a price Of 100000 or there

That sounds high enough, but
just listen to this answer which
Bobby Quinn of the st. Louis
Browns made when asked
about George Sisler:
George Sisler is a ball play
er, whose money value, or
whose value in players in ex-
change, cannot be estimated"
One of the largest slices in
money imaginable is the diff
ference between what Sisler
is really worth and what St
Louis thinks he is worth.

Washington fans already know
that George Sisler was champion with
a mark OF .407. with Ty Cobb beaten
out for the second time in fourteen
years; that Babe Ruth actually did
make "a home runs and drive In 1877
for the Yanks. that Sisters 257 bin
giles gives him the biggest total OF
safeties and new American League
record, that Babe Ruth scored 1888
runs for the high total. that Sam Rice
was the best base stealer, and that
Joe Gedeon and DOME Bush had the
greatest number OF sacrifice slaps.
ROTH OF SOME USE.
Bobby Roth, who is not expected
TO be with the Griffmen next season.
was OF some use last year. Had he
maintained his interest and hitting
strength to the end. what a wonder
he might have been! AS II was, with
a batting average Of but .29O, Roth
was responsible for 90 TALES by his
teammates. Counting in his own so
runs. many OF them caused by his
feetness on the hoof. Bobby had
something to do with 172 runs. This
is going some for a man with a POO
batting average.
Joe Judge had a great year, hitting
for 1893 in 1926 games. Joe scored 103
runs himself, and drove in nifty one
others. totaling 154 for his club.
Zeb Milan. a veteran of the paths.
also did well In 1920. He hit for
1922. scoring seventy runs and driv-
ing I'm forty-one others for a total OF
Ill for the team.
Turkey" Brewer, making his big
league debut as q hitter crashed out
thirty-seven hits in thirty-six games
He scored twenty-one runs himself
and drove in thirteen more.
Stanley Harris. with a 300 mark,
handled himself well on his first big
league trip. He scored seventy-six
runs, and was responsible for sixty
eight others.
CALVO IS LAST.
Jack Calvo, the Cuban outfielder
slammed Southern Association fingers
for something like 800 while with
Little Rock, but he went to Little
Rock because in seventeen games
with the Griffmen he amassed the
stupendous total of one hit, averag-
ing .O43. He was last. absolutely.
teetotally last, in the Johnsonian cir
cult among all who got even one
blow. That's the one he got.
Washington's 800 hitters did some
thing like this:
