ing to America to attempt to
counteract the bad impression Of
England left there By various
British authors, pIaywrights and

Frankau, the novelist, on the eve

These people,, he said. do not

the hospitality of the United States
not only to preach srbycrsive doc

to the spread Of class hostility. are

GRANGE WOULD
PLAY BALL

Latest news indicates that one
Mr.. Red Grange, phantomlike per-
former of college grid fame, is
about to launch into the ranks OF
jor league baseball.
Red. not so long ago a Wheaton
GILL iceman, who managed to draw
a small back door audience of do
mesticated housewives and kitchen
maids. entered the realm of college
and football, and in a short time
became the center of nationwide
attraction. Overnight he left anna
teur glory for conmercialistic fig
ures of $1,000 to $780, 900 per game.
In a single day he signed contracts
for $40, O00-$300, 900 for movies
and $40, 900 for the use Of his name
in advertisements.
Can Red make such splurge in
big league balloon?
1t is a question, with the odds
all against him. for Red is far less
adroit on the diamond than on the
grid. If he succeeds. he virtually
viii be the first grid celebrity to
make good in the majors.

81 MILLION USE
PHONE DAILY

About $4,000, 100000 words of con-
versation, more than half of which
is of feminine origin, pass over
the telephone lines of the United
States every day.
This conservative estimate of the
wire conversation of America is
based on official reports of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company that more than 67,700, 900
telephone calls are made daily.
America does more talking over
the telephone than all the rest of
the world put together, but just
what per cent OF the eighteen tril-
lion words a year is idle chatter
and gossip is a matter Of consid-
cradle conjecture.
In 1875 there were only two
telephones in the world. They
were connected by thirty feet of
wire. Today there are over $780,
900 telephones in the United states
alone, with 1,00O,O miles of wire.
The United States, with 5 per
cent Of the worlds area and per
cent of the population, has 81 per
cent of the telephones. There is
about 81, 94O, 900, 900 invested in the

Sherry Magee
Wants a Job
As Umpire

PUNTA GORDA, Fla, March 25.--
The life Of an jumps may be
hard; he may have such joking re-
marks as ''kill the umpire" show
ers for you'' hurled at him. He
may have to dodge pop bottles and
such; but there is a fellow with
the Orioles here who would like to
don mask, windpad, shin-guards and
call balls and strikes in the big
show.
He is Sherwood Magee. coach and
utility man of the seven times cham.
pion Baltimore baseball club. Sherry
likes to umpire and there are many
who would like to see him behind
the plate calling them as he sees
them.
Magee has been umpiring in the
OrioIe- Athletics series both here and
in Fort Myers. He mas been sue
cess. Also, he has been working in
the Yanigan games here.
Sherry calls them as he sees them
and so far there has been no kick
on his work. He has been doing it in
the spring training games ever
since 1920 when he was in the
SUNNY south Will AOlu4AAOub "a bhS
American Association.
Then with Minneapolis and NIL.
waukee he did the same thing, and
this year he is calling 'em for the
Birds and White Elephants.
Barney Drcyfus, owner Of the
Pittsburgh Pirates world champs,
has said that he win recommend
Sherry for am umpire's position.
Webb Murphy, of baseball fame,
who is now AZ Sarasota, is always
after Magee to take up the Job
OF calling them. Ty Cobb has said
he would give Magee a boost for Q
job and so has Tom Sllibe, Of the
Athletics.
Magee is certainly qualified for
such a job. He has been in the big
show with the Philadelphia Ma
ticnaIs, Boston Braves and Cincin-
natl Reds. and he has been with
three American Association clubs
and is now with the Orioles.

Haugen bill, the Coolidge admin
istration refuses to enact this pro-
posed relief measure into law. The
Wall Street New York; bankers
are more powerful in Washington
than the LaSalle Street (Chicago)
1inanciers who responed more quick
ly to the needs Of the agrarianmid-
west in order 10 insure their own
prosperity. It is declared that con-
gress may be permitted to pass the
Haugen bill, with the assurance that
Coolidge will kill it with his veto.
This will permit the senators and
representatives to go before the
voters, especially the farmers, with
the claim that they favor these re-
lief measures. There are those who
have been fooled by such maneuvers
In the past, and no doubt will be in
the future. But If they are will soon
learn again, thru actual experience,
that the profit takers have not
changed, that they are still in the
saddle and will remain there as
long as capitalism lasts.
For great business to surrender
the right to profiteer would be not
only to lose the roof of it's capitalist
structure, but to surrender the very
foundation on which it stands. The
capitalist state was created to pro-
tect the right of big business to prey
upon the working masses, and it
will not change its nature, even If a
few patches are put upon its roof.
When the farmers fully realize
this condition, then they will begin
actively to organize their political
forces separate from the old polit-
ical parties. They will join the work.
ers in industry for a unified fight
against the common oppressor.
They will learn then, thru actual
struggle, that It is not roof-repair-
ing Job that confronts them, but the
task Of building an entirely new So
cial structure, where no capitalists
can enter. 1t is only this understand
ing of fundamentals that will enable
the exploited masses to struggle
effectively.
They will learn to fight their
enemy thru the labor party that
must develop as result of their in
dependent political action. They
will learn how to wage the struggle
for the abolition Of capitalism and
the Inauguration of workers rule.
Not only the roof of silent Gals"
White House in Washinfton is fall
ing.
