ATHLETICS AND HEROES

THHERE is scarcely community in Delaware that

He thinks schools the physical instruc-

we have had the wrong objective In physical educa-

centrate on long every wants to be

A Better German Spirit
(From the New york Tribune.)

The vital factor in the reparation
problem relates to Germany's will

and, on a proper showing, to modify
their bills.
Is Germany in a better frame of
mind or is she merely jockeying
again? At last there Is reason TO
hope. It actually looks as II she has
abandoned the policy OF creating
artificial bankruptcy.
The reaction on French opinion is
immediate. and those who have filled
the world with the clamor that
France wished to wreck Germany
and to seize and hold the Ruhr re-
gion have need to invent something
new TO say. The prompt accept
ance by the Poincare ministry OF
the German memorandum sum
ciently refutes the accusation tnat
France is mad with imperialism.

Whether or not a considerable
market will be found in this country
for German bonds Is a matter for
individual investors to determine.
Even though Germany creates more
confidence by saner course, the
special security offered will, OF
course, be closely scrutinized.

over when It appears that she has a

Rail Wages in Lining Costs
,Trom the New York Herald.)

Railroa< workers threatening tc
resist fur ,h,ar wage adjustments with
strikes are simply threatening to re-
slst fuTThci reductions in the pub
lies cosS u living. Transportation
charges are a very important factor
in the cost OF doing all business
from farming TO retailing food.
In the three-year period preced-
ing the war the average transpor-
tation bill Of the American people
was under three billions OF dollars a
year. In 1920 II was more than six
billions OF dollars a year. Now II
the increased traffic charges worked
out against the public at no more
than three billions of dollars there
would be right there OF itself an ad-
ditional average load of $3.50 a
year on every family in the United
States. But as a matter OF cold bus
iness fact. a national transportation
bill Of more than six billions of dol
lars a year does not and cannot stop
short in its cost 10 the public at
those actual traffic charges.

the price he pays for the potatoes
and to the price he pays for trans

and that would make approximately

as the retailers profit can scarcely
ever be figured on the average at

33 Ia per cent. retail mark-up on
nothing but a transportation bill in
crease of four billions of dollars
adds one and a third billions OF dol
lars more for the ultimate consumer
to pay on that transportation bill
increase. And that makes the trans

against the ultimate consumer at
the colossal total of five and a third

The traffic charge increase against
the American public of five and a

average cost Of some s265 a year on

which is a bigger factor than any

has got to be liquidated as coal has
got to be. But transportation can
not be hquidated unless railroad

Senator McCumber, chairman Of

ing to rely upon Democratic help to
Jam all his obnoxious measures

He had to call on Democratic
members Wednesday afternoon TO
report out his five billion dollar bonus
bill against the opposition Of mem
bers OF his own party. Without the
Democrats he would have failed.
Again on Wednesday evening
Democratic Senators had to be rush
ed to the rescue Of Chairman Nc
Cumbers tariff schedule on electric
light bulbs and other Illuminating
glassware. for again without these
Democratic shock troops he would
have failed.
McCumber has insisted that his
20 per cent ad valorem duty on
such articles must stand, no matter
what the country thinks about 1t
and no matter what his party in
Congress thinks about It. When an
amendment was offered 10 substitute

Cunber was able to defeat the pro-
poeed change by only one vote-S1
to 80. But at that he had to include
in his 81 votes the two Democratic
Senators from Louisiana.
When Republican leadership in
Congress IS compelled to call IN
Democratic help TO biudgeon its
self-determined legislative meas
ures through solid ranks OF resist
ing Republican members, either the
Democratic shock troop reinforce
ments are by way OF getting a
strangle hold on the majority party
or the whole Republican legislative
program Is in danger Of going by
the board.
The Fordneys and the McCum-
bers may be so bent upon having
their own way in Congress for their
own selfish ends that they will not
stop short even OF party wrecking

they do persist, cost what It may, in

And there is another thing that
the novice will learn in this radio

The most fascinating thing about
amateur radio is the ability for
some amateur TO communicate
across several States with another,
or for an amateur on the Atlantic
coast to relay through other anna
teurs messages to friends who live
on the Pacific.
The radio telephone will never
take the place of the radio telegraph
as a method Of amateur COM

sons. First, there is no fascination
in attempting TO communicate long
distances by the radio telephone.
Secondly, 10 communicate over a

Men trained in the use OF radio
telegraph equipment are a great bull

natural inclination toward this
