One Born Every Minute,
Few Ever Give Up Hope

In certain Offices in Wall street
there's an axiom, "Once a sucker,
always q sucker" Those who make
their living by catching suckers 40
not cross from their lists the names
of individuals who have met with
losses, because losses do not cure.
There was proof Of this only re-
Gently. The receiver of q bucket
shop which closed some time ago
received a SIS check through the
mail with an order to buy certain
securities, Examining the check,
the receiver found that it was q
dividend check the customer had re-
ceived when another bucket shop
was closed. It represented all he
had salvaged from the wreck. But
without even bothering to cash it,
he endorsed it and sent 1t along.
That check came from the Middle
West. But there are suckers In
New York also. That same re-
ceiver a few days later received a
check and a buying order. The
check was for $500. The sender
was Broadway merchant. The
order was not executed, however,
as the firm he addressed had failed
a year before.
Apparently there's not only one
born every minute, but they never
die" said the receiver as he die
tated letter to accompany the re-
turned check.

that it goes directly back at the
pitcher. have always figured that
driving the ball directly through the
box over second base, called for per-
feet timing from every angle of bat
ting.
Must Study Various Pitching Styles
There are various types OF pitchers.
1t is up to the batsman to study
the style that is before him in each
game.
With fast ball pitcher working
stand considerably farther away
from the plate than with a curve ball
twirler. 1t is we'll to crowd the
plate on the curve artist.
Watch your front foot. Batting
form largely hinges around the front
foot. Move in with it, never pull
away.
Develop absolute confidence in yoar
ability. Make it point to Regard
all pitchers in the same light. Don't
get the habit of forming dislike
to bat against certain twirlers.
When you step to the plate ceel
that the pitcher is worrying about
your hitting the ball far more than
you are thinking about the l.Gssibil-
ity of your not getting it safe.
Such mental attitude is dis
tinct advantage to the batsman.

First Telephone Users
Unable to Find Ears

In 1877 one of the most important
and difficult parts of the work Of
introducing the telephone into a
community was teaching the sub
scriber the correct way Of using a
telephone. This still has it's i'm
portance and it's difficulty. SO there
is value as we'll as amusement in
the experience of one of the earliest
Of telephone pioneers, who intro
duced the telephone into Delaware.
He says in an account Of those
days:
I'm 1877 and 1873 very few people
had seen a telephone and fewer still
had used it, so that after a sub
scriber had been secured it required
considerable effort to impress upon
him the most efficient way to use
II. The people did not know, 1t
seems, where their ears were. In
fact, an editor said to me one day:
You should have some one instruct
Mr.. - how to use that telephone
you have put in for him. He has
rubbed the hair off the side Of his
head trying to find his ear. "-Tele-

Young ThurstOn
Shines On Slab
For White Hose
By NEA Service


Chicago, June 13.-One of the big
gest sensations of the early season
in the American League has been
Hollis Thurston, White Sox pitcher.
TLurston's performance on the
mound has exceeded expectations.
And then some!
AT present he ranks as the one
best bet on the Comiskey twirling
staff With Urban Faber aillng,
Thurston has stepped into thu
breach and made good with VEN
geance. In a recent series with the
Yankees the, big fellow literally
stood the Higgins outfit on its
head.
Thurston came to the White Sox
last year from the Browns. fAll told,
he worked in 46 games, winning
seven and losing eight. He allowed
3.12 earned runs per game and was
eighth in this respect. He stood
we'll down the list in giving bases
on balls, issuing 38, only hit one
batter all season and didn't make a
single wild pitch.
For a pitcher, Thurston is an ex-
ceptionally good batter. He hit BIG
in 1928. Uhle, Cleveland, and WAL
berg, Athletics, were the only hurl-
ers to obtain a higher clouting av-
erage.
Whether Thurston will keep up
his good work is problematical. He
may, and then again he may not
At any rate, his work has been one
of the bright spots in the White Sox
play to date.

GEO. NJ. YOUNG
SAYS GOODBYE
TO CONGRESS-
Tells His Colleagues All Is
Not a Bed of Roses in
Washington
WHY HE is LEAVING

Congressman George NJ. Young, in
his swan song to Congress, told his
colleagues that the life of Con-
gresham is not bed of roses, ac
cording to a report Of his speech in
the Congressional Record. Mr.. Young
congressman of the Second North
Dakota district, who has resigned,
effective September l8, was quoted
as saying in part:
"Mr Speaker and colleagues, this
is my last day of service in the House
of Representatives. want to say that
/ am Just as fond of the Members of
this House and just as reluctant about
seyering my relations with them as
was the gentleman from Illinois, (Mr.
Graham) who spoke so beautifully
this morning. l want to say frankly
that ! was not candidate for reclec-
ton, and | am leaving this House be-
cause can not afford to serve here
any longer on the salary paid TO
Congressman. (Applause). Our family
is small, and as you all know, We live
modestly. Notwithstanding this our
expenditures have gone decidedly
over my salary. If we had not saved
up some money while | was practic-
ing law before coming here / would
have quit congress long ago. That is
the experience of many others.
"There are some things that people
throug hout the United States either
overlook or are not familiar with in
connection with what a congre ssman
must pay to live and his necessary
OUTLAWS. In the first place some of
them forget that he must maintain
two homes, one in his district and one
in the city of Washington. They per-
haps do not know that the living costs
at the capitol are very much higher
than they are in practically all the
districts represented in the House. A
congressman must entertain more in
Washington than in his home district.
This is expected on account of the
position he holds and it is really nee
essary. The daily sessions Of the
House are much longer than they are
generally thought to be, averaging
over five hours day, and the de-
| partments of the government are
very much further separated from
our offices than is generally
thought. The nearest department is
over mile from my office, others
tare two or three miles away. Now
those two things coupled together
make it necessary either for con-
gresham to keep an automobile and
stand the expense of the upkeep OF
| it or pay very substantial amount
of small items / might give you that
in themselves do not look large but
taken together really run into quite
4 large amount. only mention two

or three of them. The subscriptions
for church and charity and for other
things of that kind that man
makes in his home district must
be very largely duplicated when he
comes to the city of Washington. 1t
is necessary for one to subscribe for
large number of home papers if
he wants to keep up with what is
going on there and understand the
conditions of his district.
"He must also pay a very sub
stantial income tax on salary that
is not big enough to pay his ex-
penses here. might give number
of other illustrations of that kind.
81 think it is very proper to put
In election costs as proper part OF
a congressman's expenses. If they
are not, it means that poor man
can not aspire to serve in this
House; only men Of means can as
pire to serve in this House if you
say election expenses are not a
proper part of congressman's out
lay.
again, man without money
saved up for rainy day ought; to
carry very substantial amount of
life insurance. Congressman who
are only breaking even or going be-
hind are the very ones who ought to
carry enough life insurance to pro-
tect their families and that costs
considerable money. A former men,
Der from Georgia, William Schley
Howard, said that the average con-
gresham was only three minutes
ahead of the sheriff. Iaughter) |
think that is largely true. | venture
this assertion, that a congressman
must either run behind Or take the
hazard of leaving his family penni-
less 1t the time of his death and
also subject to other hardships not
experienced before they came down
to Washington.
GAS general principle of sound
government the salary of a con-
gresham should be sufficient so
that any man of character and abil-
ity, without regard to his means,
can aspire to become candidate
for congress or to remain in con-
gress. Of course, feel quite sure
that you are not likely to vote to
raise your own salaries, preferring
to submit to hardships. Still, be-
lieve that if you do not do this,
you are going to do an injustice to
your families and you are going to
prevent many men Of real worth
from coming here who might other
wise aspire to come here for service
in this House. (Applause.)

The Nut Cracker
MR.. N. ALTROCK


Despite severe and stylish oppo-
sition from the Phillies as team,
Mr.. Altrock stands out as the most
comical thing in baseball kimonos.
Old Timers tell you that Booth
was a knockout as tragedian, but
moderns remember that it was
Chaplin, the comic, who signed the
first million dollar contract.
Old Nick would look as out of
place in the box today, as house
apron in Peggy Joyce's suite, but
he's still more important than a
clue in a murder mystery.
When >Altrock lost his fast one
