kind of ball club Birmingham has.
AS is we'll known, Houston and Bir-
mingham both had scouts looking

main thing these scouts do is to try
and pick out the weaknesses OF tho
batters-and the faults Of the pitch
ers.
Two great ball players-Selph OF
Houston and Stewart Of Birmingham

81 bases, while Selph batted $40 and
stole IL bases. Both have had about

Editorial Comment
Another False Rumor
(FarRo FORUM


Speaking Of false rumors as we were the
other day, New Jersey has just had an exam
pie Of the mischief worked by idle tongues.
Last Thursday hight, story. starting in some
unexplainable way, went through the state like
prairie fire. This rumor was to the effect
that Col. Charles Lindbergh had been killed.
Someone, without cause and apparently for no
reason at all, started the tale, and within a
few hours it had travelled through the state.
Some said the report had originated in d
broadcasting station in New Jersey, but every
station in the state denied putting such story
on the air. And they all had to answer hun
dreds of calls from anxious people, and so did
the newspapers in the commonwealth and in
New York.
It is hard to explain such rumor, and hard
er still to explain person who would start it..
Yet it happens again and again. It is the
same sort of thing that has been flying through
North Dakota in the past two weeks.
These stories always take on another aspect:
Some wisecracker tit is the only designation
that fits) always comes forward with the in
formation that the newspapers are not print
ing the reports because "they have been bought
off," That is the silliest sort of nonsense. and
really not worth considering, but it makes the
rounds just as quickly and thoroughly as the
false rumors. Reputable newspapers are not
bought off. They are not subsidized. They
do not suppress the news when it is real news
and the facts are established. It is to their
credit that they are not made the victims Of
such baseless stuff.

By RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

Washington, Jan. 13.-The best
government worker in Washington
was selected after q contest for the
honor the other day and from among
the many thousands of eligible men
and women who are giving faithful
service with nothing but financial
reward and very little Of that, the
judges chose Miss Anna E. Black.
Miss Black has been in charge Of
the Bureau Of information Of the
u. S. Civil Service Commission since
1906. She has been in the govern
ment service here since 1891.
Before telling why Miss Black
was chosen to be the best govern
ment worker, let's tell how.
Editor Lowell Mellett of the
Washington Daily News decided that
he was tired Of hearing government
workers attacked as clock-watchers,
drones and what.not. He said so to
Secretary Of Commerce Hoover.
$50 ann J." replied Hoover, and
began to tell Mellett Of long hours
Of hard, intelligent work, Of work
at night without pay, Of men hang
ing onto $500 jobs in the face Of
$4,000 offers, Of girl stenographers
and clerks who rose to emergencies
and new important responsibilities.
Secretary Of Labor Davis and Of In
terror Work told the editor of many
other instances. So out came the
Washington News with an offer Of
5000 reward for the federal employee
doing the best job and 500 more
to tho fellow worker who would
write the letter of nomination. The
judges were Edward Heating, editor
Of Labor, and John Hays Hammond.
I'VE give the government workers
little thought unless some member Of
congress rises on his rear pedals and
releases . speech for his uniformed
constituency" wrote Mellett in his
1.-THE speech is apt to be a sweep
ing allegation, wrong in most par.
ticulars. It is apt to convey the i'm
preston that government workers
live life Of pleasant ease and idle
ness, devoted largely to collecting
their salaries twice a month and
spending the money between times.
Such . speech usually results from
q personal irritation suffered by the
Congressman"

scientist, messenger or other-per-

Like Greek Tragedy
Man is the unfathomable being. You car
never tell what is hidden in his heart. You
can never forecast what he will do when
tempted. You can never write mans story
until he is dead.
There's case in point, a case like Greek
tragedy. For years the prisoner at the bar
had been faithful letter carrier in a British
town. For years he had been good father,
good husband, good citizen.
Then one day he fell. He stole from the
mails. He took whole two dollars. He was
arrested as thief.
It meant dismissal from his steady job. He
was soon to be retired. It meant loss Of a
thousand dollar bonus that was due him. 1t
meant loss Of life pension of fifteen dollars a
week. But it meant more than that. His
wife died of heartbreak at the shame that had
come to her man.
The Judge. with very superior wisdom and
human insight, dismissed the unfortunate. He
rightly observed that no court could punish
him as much as he had punished himself.
