 Since the little Sunday morning scene, we have done bit of think ing, book worning and so on i'll an endeavor to find out, if possible just where we are drifting and why. We have gone so far as there appears to be any soundings in the sex stuff appearing so luridly as many think-since war days, a decade past. We are optimistic enough to opine, bad as some folk picture things, that we'll pull out all right in the long run even though stockingless calves and bloomerless thighs are the dress styles floating hither.
 About year ago, in one of the high grade ladies magazines, there appeared a letter. It was a sort of collaboration of women who thought they were ill losing game with their husbands through, what the writer alleged, the toxic effect of the young fapper There was ali kinds of fear and poignant tragedy between every line and a whole lot of the same in black type We read and reTead the printed letter, gof out reply and sent it in to the lady editor.

SEX.

Sex: (Webster) noun, the phys ical distinction between male and female. One of the two divisions of animals and plants based on such distinction. Women in general (with the).
 All right now, let's go ahead. To begin with sex is, of late, presum- ed to be magazine copy only It has been considered rather too heavy, or too something, for the little village weekly publication to handle. To this we don't agree little bit. If anything is of i'm, portance enough for far off maga- zines to run; if what they print touches our welfare in morals, in health, in our methods of getting along, in our clothing, housing and the way We make our living, why should we wait for this one and that to dope out the problems connected therein and, later, spread it over the page of magazine?
 The small town newspapers, usu- ally of weekly print, are most al- ways pretty thoroughly read by every one of the community, even down to those who may not be able to digest what they see before them only as they spell out each and every word as they literally feel thelr way along. If for no other reason, then, what makes good copy for magazines should make excel lent stuff for the conscientious home paper.
 Right today the magazine, and when we say magazine" we mean and refer to the publication which claims it is-and really is-big enough, clean enough and true enough to enter any ones home for the family circle of readers, old and young. We say, today, that the magazine is more or less of luxury in many homes, and we contend that the weekly newspaper, there fore is the better disseminator os all those things worth while as we'll as a purveyor of recent in- telligence and tidings.
 Along in September, a Judge Ob- erwager of New York came out in a magazine article in which he blamed many of the modern males shortcomings to our briefly skirted and fapper type of lady love. It was something, that article, in the nature of roast. Of course many lady felt offended and shot back at the worthy Judge some pretty sharp pointed and venomous. darts. However, in their provocation,. they missed the mark, as a rule, and proved by their bum marksmanship that Oberwager wasn't over league or two from being right.

Bill Johnston Who Quit Tennis for Business,
May Be Drafted Into Service Again Next Year

New York, Dec. 29.-From the
quiet pursuits Of business man,
retired voluntarily from the strife
Of tho tennis courts, little Bill John
ston, for years one of the worlds
outstanding players, probably will be
drafted to join Bill Tilden in another

Almost seven years ago, Tilden

went clear down under to Australia
and brought back the cup that is
symbolic Of the worlds team tennis
championship.
From then on until this year Tilden
and Johnston fought successfully
against the worlds greatest players
and they succeeded in keeping the
cup in this country.
But, last September, France, with
Rene Lacostc, Henri Cochet, Jean
Borotra and Jacques Brugnon, bat

the cup to France for its first period
of residence with a Latin nation.
Following his defeat in the cup
matches, Johnston announced that he

neglected his bushes for seven years
and he felt the time had come when
he had to make tennis secondary in
his program. Johnston is in the in

San Francisco.
In recent months, however, John.

SO that his constant personal
attention is not essential and he has
told friends that he may try the

TAKES PLACE
IN BASEBALL
Connie Mack's New Star Who
Once Hurled Ball in
North Dakota

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 29.-(AP)
From the diamond Of an obscure
Iowa college, Oscar ("Ossie") Or.
woll,. whose alliterative name has
been changed by admirers to the
Iowa Ghost and the Great Orwell,
has dubbed and flung his way to
basebalrs big tent in just three
years.
For three ball players and hand
full Of cash, Connie Mack persuaded
Henry ]. Killilea, new owner Of the
Milwaukee Brewers of the American
Association, to part with the serv-
ices of Orwell, so big blond Ossie
will don q uniform Of the Phila-
delphia Athletics next season.
If he carries on for the Athletics
as he did in college and for the
Brewers, he should be a decided
asset.
Whether Mr.. McGiilicuddy will
have the Norwegian pitch, play first
base or the outfield is a question.
As "A combination hurler and fly
chaser with the Brewers last year
he led the league in pitching and
was second in batting. Mack's out
field is pretty we'll manned, but he
can use first baseman or q pitcher
to good advantage.
"Impossible,' Says Manager
The yearly stalking of the bushes
by big league scouts always turns
up story or two. That concerning
Oscar is among baseball's best
sellers.
Several years ago. Orwell, then
18, followed his yen for baseball and
essayed to play first base in a club
in the now defunct Dakota League.
Impossible" said the manager.
There's nothing else for me to say,
you're just impossible" And Orwell
was dropped forthwith.
Then he entered Luther College
at DEBORAH, Iowa, q town which
sometimes defies detection on the
map, and for four years he was a
sensation with the college nine. In
81 games he was at bat 208 times,
scored So runs, made SO hits for a
total of 172 bases, and struck out 10
times for q total batting average
of .442.
BECOMES Pitcher
From college he went to the La
Crosse independent team and the
Brewers signed him from that OUT
fit.
In 1926 Orwell turned in the great
record Of $50 as a pitcher. winning
IL out of 16 games to lead the
American Association hurlers. His
batting Melted him .287.
Last season. ne ranked second in
batting, with a mark Of $40, there
by leading the Brewers, which. as. a
team, led the league. He won II
games and lost six to head the cir
cults hurlers.
Orwell is q son of the late Rev.
S. M. Orwell, q minister of the Nor
wegian Lutheran Church, who lived
at Maddox, N. D. He was gradu-
ated from Luther College with an
A. B. degree in 1926.

team.
Bill Tilden, still the worlds second
ranking player although he has lost
his American championship, is a
cinch for the team. He already has
announced that he will 90 to Europe
early in 1928 with Frank Hunter and
will make another desperate effort
to come back.
Johnston's name hasn't been men,
toned outside of the chambers of
the tennis association, but it is
known that the little Californian is
wanted badly.
To those who might doubt the wis
dom of delegating to Johnston the
burden Of supporting Tilden. the
officials of the association are pre-
pared to ask:
"Where is there better player in
the United States to take his
place."
