ALTROCK GIVES VIEWS

HEv7 ALTER JOHNSON is the
IWI greatest pitcher the game
t. has ever known, because
he possesses the ideal disposition
for a hurler.
"True, Johnson has world of
stuff, but the proper mental attitude
is what enabled him to reach the
dizzy position he now holds in base
ball.
zone cannot be a great pitcher
unless he has the right disposition.
No player who ever wore Wash
ington uniform can recall the
slightest criticism from johnson no
matter how poorly he played. No
umpire can ever remember his pro-
testing decision.
johnson throughout his career
has accepted the good and bad
breaks in the same methodical man
ner. Nothing has ruffled him. No
matter how things were breaking he
always continue dto give his best"

DENTISTS TRYING

AID TO PATIENTS
Experiment With Keeping

RU United Press

BIZ UHitcd Press
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 1S.-Local
dentists have launched into the field
of vocal anaesthetics" to distract
the minds of the patients from the
work the dentist is doing.
Perhaps 1t was some barber who
tipped dentist off to this method of
keeping a patients bind on some
thing else; at any rate, the local doc.
tors are becoming expert converse
tionalists.
One dentist in particular, DR.. Lyn-
val Davidson, is noted for his versa
tility of conversation. If the patient
is interested in music, this dentist
can carry on very interesting dis
cussion, as he has studied voice and
plays the piano and the violin. If
the patient is interested in taXidermy
he will find the dentist has diploma
in this field; art elicits the informa.
ton that the dentist has made a
study of water colors, ceramics and
oil and statuettes in bronze, wood
and plaster.
If the patient is an amateur gar.
dentist, the doctor can give him some
pointers, as he has seventy-five rare
plants; collectors find he has several
rare Oriental rugs and a large col.
lection of china.
OF course, DIR. Davidson is an eX.

bill IN CONGRESS
BRINGS ARGUMENT
Hindu, Jap Naturalization
Question Raised.
Times WashiM0ton bureau.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-A bill
introduced by Senator David Reed,
of Pennsylvania, to allow some
forty Hindus to become citizens of
the United States, threatens to pre-.
cipitate another controversy over
the japanese question.
Reed introduced his bill after
Taraknath Das, Hindu naturalized
in the federal court at San Francisco
in 1914. had gained assistance of
Chief Justice Taft of the Supreme
Court and other prominent officials
in endeavoring to correct what Taft
termed real injustice" The al
legged injustice comes in the fact that
the United States Supreme Court by
decision in 1928 held that all
Hindus were not whites" and that
any naturalization Of race was il
legal.
The Reed bill provides for the re-
granting of citizenship to Das and
some 80 other Hindus, who were
also made citizens prior to the 1928
Supreme Court decision.
Introduction of the bill created
alarm in California lest passage of
the bill be the signal for similar de-
mands part of some 400 Japanese
who served in the American army
in Hawaii during the World War.
