SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

just the Same.
In spite of the orations and the sol.
emn declarations
That the world is still in danger of
despair,
The music's lightly playing and the
dancing feet are straying
While the gayety Of youth is every
where.
Sometimes the politicians tell of des-
perate conditions,
Sometimes the good old home team
drops a game,
Sometimes the general rumor shows a
pessimistic humor-
But we manage to keep happy, just
the same.
Humanity has ever been engaged in
an endeavor
To preserve itself from going to the
bad.
1t has sought the path of duty and re.
tained a sense of beauty;
Being good should be the same as
being glad.
So we face the wordy tangle in the
diplomatic wrangle
And serenely view the ways of
wealth and fame.
For young hearts are stoutly beating.
We march on without retreat
ing,
And we manage to be happy, just
the same.
Evening star., 1924-10-08
Radio Convention.

The third annual radio conference
is meeting in Washington. If one
needed a reminder of the youth of this
science and industry he would have
it in the fact that this is but the third
annual conference. Radio has been a
fast developing and spreading indus
try, and takes a highly important
place in the life Of the American peo-
pie. 1t has spread around the world
and the voices of men and music of
bands pass from country to country.
AS a means of transmitting news and
other information radio developed
faster than the telegraph, the tele.
phone or wireless telegraphy, and as a
means for carrying instruction and
entertainment into all parts of the
country it's progress has been more
rapid than any other means. The
world did not pause long to discuss
this scientific achievement, but
grasped it and put it to almost i'm
mediate use.
1t was many years after it's prac-
ticability had been proved that the
telegraph came into general use, and
it was so with the telephone. To re.
ceive wireless telegraph messages a
degree Of technical knowledge was
needed. Telegraph and telephone serv-
ices were extended at vast outlay of
capital. With radio a man or boy
'-uys or makes ''set," strings a wire

Good Judgment by "Goose. -

The count is tied-two games
apiece. Parking a ball in the right
field stands with two men on base
yesterday was an act of good judg-
ment by the eminent Goose" Goslin,
for it insured lead that was never
overtaken; in fact, was never re-
duced. That home run settled the
contest, giving the Nationals renewed
! confidence and checking the rising
spirit of confidence on the part of
the Giants.
Now it is assured that Washington
will witness at least one more of the
big games, for whoever wins today
must win another game. and that
[ sixth game will be played here. Per-
haps a seventh game will be played,
and it may be on these grounds, ac-
cording as the toss of a coin decides.
But here is hoping that a seventh
game will not be needed, that today
and tomorrow will witness the Ma
tionals' triumph, making three in a
row and the world championship.
Yesterday George Mogridge, vet
eran strategist of the pitching rub
Der. COMPOUNDED all the critics who
| had averred that he could never stand
up against the onslaught of the slug
gers of Coogans Bluff. But he did.
He was a bit wild in the first and
| again in the eighth inning, and he
| had then to be relieved by the useful
| Marberry. But he had checked the
! crack batsmen of the National
| League and held the enemy while the
Nationals were getting their comfort
able and, as it proved, sufficient
lead. He might have finished out un-
aided in good shape. But too much
was at stake to take a chance. He
retired with high honor.
After that four-base bunt of the
! versatile Goose in the third inning
| the game was devoid Of sensational
| ism. 1t was just case Of holding
| them" and getting a few more runs
now and then to make the margin
more secure. And in that process the
hitting-toeethe ability of the home
team. which brought it to the front
in the American League, was in evil
dence. Yesterday the hitting combi-
nation that told most heavily was
McNeely, Goslin and Bluege. Today
it may be another combination, per-
haps Harris, Rice and Judge. Maybe
it will be all six.
But there is an obstacle in the path
to the supreme honor, in the person
of the willy Arthur Nehf, who is due to
pitch again today for the foe. He won
his game last Saturday. BY the same
token Walter Johnson lost his game
then. Now it is expected that the
veteran will have another chance to
win a world series game. That he will
pitch the best ball that his arm will
yield is assured. Doubtless even New
Workers. are hoping that he will win.
1t would be a sad spectacle, indeed,
for Walter Johnson to lose his final
chance in a world series. For this
may, indeed, be his last opportunity
to score.

The Shenandoah.

When the naval dirigible Shenan-
doah passed over Washington yester-
day afternoon the citizens were too
busy to give the ship and crew the
recognition they deserve. A good
many thousand heard the hum of her
propellers and turned to look at her;
but an airship has been seen by
Washingtonians before, while world
series with Washington as. part of. it
is a novelty.
take her from the Atlantic coast to
the Pacific and back. She is to skirt
three sides of the United States and
travel about 5000 miles. If she makes
the trip it will be an unprecedented
event in air navigation, and the
chances are that in this adventure
the Shenandoah will come through.
Rear Admiral w. A. Moffett, in charge
Of Navy aeronautics, who is on
board, said as the ship sailed from
Lakehurst: II consider this the most
severe test that an airship has ever
been called on to make" 1t is great
test, and it will be a great voyage
if completed. Day and night this ship
of the air goes on at heights varying
from a quarter to half mile above
the earth, and in crossing the plains
Of the West and the Rocky Noun
tains she will sail at levels between
mile and two miles higher than
the sea. The good wishes of all are
with her, and we will look at the
news items which tell of her progress.
Already messages came from towns
In the South that the Shenandoah
passed over at such-and-such time.

Election Betting and Straw Votes

Straw votes preceding elections
have not always proved to be infalli-
BILE indices of subsequent election re-
turns, but they never fail to interest.
Election betting figures are supposed
to be more reliable prophecies of COM
ing events, presumably on the basis
that men who are stalking their money
possess better sources of information
as to conditions to those who are
merely backing their enthusiasm.
When the trend Of the betting odds
and the straw votes coincide they are
calculated to attract more attention,
and such is the case now. For the
hour, betting on the election is rather
overshadowed by betting on the world
series, but it is being carried on at
that The odds usually are stabilized
by New York brokers, with whom the
larger sums are posted.
Yesterdays quotations in New York
showed offers of to 1 that President
Coolidge will be elected the next Presi-
dent of the United States. Odds of
to 1 were offered that Senator La
Toilette will not be elected President.
Odds Of to l were quoted that the
election will not be thrown into the
House.
Gov. Smith continues to be a prime
favorite in the New York guberna-
torial contest, at to that he will be
reelected Governor of New York. A
curious psychological effect Of the
straw voting is reported by the poll
ticians. 1t is claimed that the strength
displayed by La Toilette is causing
Democrats to abandon John w. Davis
and play for safety by turning to
President Coolidge.
