'''BAMBINO IS
PLEASED WITH
MOVIE CAREER
Small Chance That Ruth
Will Quit Baseball for
Screen.
BY DAN CAMPBELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

Los ANGELES, Feb. IL. - Ba be
Ruth, the big bat and ball man,
who made his debut down in Balti-
more a few short years ago to be-
come king in the dreams of mill
ion kids, stretched lazily under a
sunny California SKY here today and
talked of cabbages and kings but
said little about baseball.
Out of the disconnected jangle
of subjects irrelevast, Ruth
indicated that he has given some
thought to leaving the national pas
time, possibly to take up a screen
career, or to establish a school Of
baseball, where city kids, deprived
of the sand lots may gain some first
hand knowledge OF the game.
For the benefit of grinding
camera out at Wrigley Field today,
the bambino wriggled his famous
bat and lined one down the first
base line and then galloped around
the bases in midseason form, to tie
the score for his forthcoming opus
"Babe Comes Home"
AS he ambied in from the home
plate, Babe Ruth, the movie star,
was no different than the man who
has thrilled thousands with the
sound of the crack of leather and
wood.
Apparently unconscious of the
plaudits of a score or more young
sters who had found their way into
the ball park and hung over the
railing of the first boxes, opened
mouthed, Ruth walked to a seat.
Babe Is Fat
His face presented a flush just a
bit deeper than his usual color and
he puffed from the preseason ex-
ertion as he settled down heavily
into a canvas chair, on, the back of
which was inscribed his name, the
family crest of movie star.
"The baseball scandal7' Ruth
questioned to the opening barrage.
What is there to saya It's over,
those men have been vindicated. 1t
was badly presented to the public
and let's forget about it, if we love
the great American game"
The first bomb fell a dud and the
tense atmosphere of the moment
cleared.
Having recovered from his puff
ing spell the big ball player Ian
guidly surveyed the scene before
him, on which he was the king.
A Kaleidoscope Of shouting direc-
tors, giant sun ares, that buzZed
merrily to clear the shadows of the
grand stand, strutting extras, and
fawning helpers, the last named
vieing one with the other to offer
Ruth a towel to mop his streaming
brow
And as Ruth mopped he relaxed
again to become instantly alert
when the next question was pro.
pounded, to-wit: "When, where and
how are you going to settle youl
controversy with Col. Rupert.
Controversy Ruth questioned
again. II am not sure that there
is a controversy. l nave received
a contract and will mail it back to
day. However, don't care to dis
cuss it until after having a confer
ence with Col. Rupert in New
York.

BY DONALD Nj. BRODIE,
Secretary. China Society of America.

The first requirement Is patience
with the Chinese during the incredibly
difficult readjustments that they are
trying to make. Friendly patience is
necessary: not the patronizing variety,
not the coldly calculating kind, but
real patience that recognizes the 1nnu-
merable difficulties. the complex inf1u.
ences at work, the manifold causes
many of them non Chinese-of the
present chaos and confusion. 1t
should be remembered that the Ma.
tionalist movement was at least par.
TALLY originated by American ideals.
Over so per cent of the leaders of
China listed in the China Year Book
were educated abroad, and of this
number nearly half attended American
universities. Mistakes will be made.
AS some one has said. the Chinese are
endeavoring to hurdle a century.
Whatever may be our judgment as to
individual undertakings, there Is re-
uuired from America today a large
measure Of faith in the integrity and
character Of the Chinese and friendly
patience in awaiting the establishment
of order and democratic government
in the oldest nation In the world.
Equally imperative. for the people

With the Chinese. even more than
with some other races. how a thing is

what Is done. 1t Is becoming increas-

BY HENRY w. BUM.

"HE following is brief sum-
mary of the most important
news of the world for the
seven days ended August 20.
Ireland.-On Tuesday the
Eree State government headed by
Mr. Cosgrave escaped destruction by
q hair only. A motion or non-conn.
dence. proposed by Tom Johnson, head
of the Labor party, was defeated by
inst one vote, the alignment being as
follows: For the motion-Labor par.
tv. 81: Fianna Fail. 43; National
league. 6. Against the motion-Gov'
eminent party Cumann Ma n Gaed.
heaO. 45: Independents, IA; Farmers
party. II; non-party, ].
It was expected that should the mo.
ton be carried. government would
take Office headed by Tom Johnson
and including representatives. OF the
Labor party and the National League.
The Laborites take open issue with
the government chiefly OH its eco
non,ic policy: but Mr.. Cosgrave, de.
Tending his government coolly and hui
morously in the battle preceding the
vote. twitted the Laborites with the
itch for office. He pointed out that the
governments economic policy mad not
changed since, some weeks ago. Mr..
Johnson proposed Laborite coalition
The attitude of the National
IeagI,ers is interesting. Capt. Red
mond, their chief, (son OF the Great
Redmond glancing in turn toward
Cosgrave and De Valera, exclaimed:
"a plague on both your houses.
Referring to the recent legislation
aimed at disaffection, he said: we
want to see this Wretched VENDETTA
ended once for all. The government
has failed completely to connect the RI.
anna Fail with the awful crime OF
O'Higgins' murder and 1t is guilty OF
the stale old blunder Of attacking pc.
litical rights under the pretext OF
seeking to prevent crime"
Indeed, it is moot question
whether the government was well ao'
vised in respect Of that legislation.
The following statement by Mr..
Johnson in the course of the debate
is reassuring: II want to make 1t
perfectly clear that I and my col
leagues are going to give the treaty
and constitution our completest sup
port. We hold that the Free State
enjoys in fact republican form OF
government. Under the constitution
and treaty all that Is available In any
republic can be achieved" That Is
the attitude of the National Leaguers
also. -,
Perhaps Mr.. Johnson had reason"
In his hopeful view of the seating OF
the Fianna Fail delegates-elect. 1t Is,
said he. "a political event Of the high.
est Importance, opening an entirely
new and more hopeful prospect. If
the situation is viewed clearly and
without false hopes and false fears,
1t will be possible to assure stability.
progress and prosperity by general
good will, wise administration. avoid.
ance Of contention and only a mini.
mum OF legislation"
1t may turn out that way, but the
strong opposite possibility may not
safely be minimized. There is. how.
ever. a general disposition to inter-
pref the omens as favorable.
Immediately after the vote on the
non-confidence motion, the Dali ad-
journed to October II. Meantime,
much OF Importance may evolve.
