OIH MARBLE. SHOOTER

Whether or not our able marble shooter, Dominic Cartelli, wins the final shooting contest at Atlantic City. he has created furore Of in terest in his record throughout his native city of New Britain. As this is written the finals are yet to be played: should he win and be the crowned champion marble shooter of the United States his holnecom- ing in this city will be memorable tribute to the youth.
 Marble shooting is as important as most other games and to excel Tn II requires that skill which comes only with talent and application. Boys and some girls-take to marble shooting as they do to the measles. For years no special recognition was youcbsafed to the marble shooters: they were regarded as back lots sportsmen who would get over Il Tn time But it has been found that the skill and stamina required In accurate marble shooting is on a par with the skill needed in most other games; and if billiard player can be regarded as an artist so can a marble shooter.
 All honor to young Cartelli. He got to the top: his picture will be gazed upon by millions throughout the nation. May his surpassing skill re- main with him to the end.

jO YEARS

For half a century Adolph ;. Ochs has been a newspaper publish CT. Beginning at the age ot 20 years as publisher of the Chattanooga Times he today publishes the New York Timts as well. The former publication has been regarded as an ideal small city newspaper; the latter as the worlds most complete metropolitan newspaper.
 No man in journalism has been identified for q longer period with more astounding progress in news paper production. When as q youth Mr. Ochs took over his Chattanooga ncwspaper 1t was housed in q small building. Most other newspaper plants also were relatively small. The change has been from one Of small dimensions to what We have today. IL is perfectly safe to conclude that no other industry has seen such epoch making changes within so short period of time.
 Mir. Ochs came upon the scene at a time when this great advance in the profession of newspaper making was due. His part in the great drama of newspaper development was to set up and maintain such a high standard of journalism that all other newspapers the country over in time looked in his direction for inspiration and encouragement. The Times has been q beacon light of ethical journalism, a model for all other newspapers placing value and service to intelligent readers above the easy gains of a claptrap appeal to the instinct for mere en- tertainment in reading.
 Let Mr. Ochs continue his fine work and may he live to enjoy many additional years of prestige and prosperity,

INCREASED EMPLOYMENT

As everyone knows. our factorleS produce more per man employed than formerly. This has resulted largely through the use of improved not only producing new machines, but they are improving old ma chimes. Factories that keep step with the new developments in machinery cannot help producing more pro- ducts per employe. regardless Of more efficient management.
 Machines, therefore, constantly displace men. They have been doing this from the time the factory sys- tenn began and will continue to do
 What becomes of the men thus considerable of late that such un- employment as We have had has been due to this factor at least part ly And perhaps il may be true. But new industries provide constantly increasing employment, and these in employment.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE

Tomorrow is the day. It will be one Of. noise and laughter, enjoy ment and happiness. The boys and girls will be wishing every day in the year were like the Fourth. Nothing to do but ruin fireworks after daddy bought them.
 IL may rain, and it may not; but rain or shine, We celebrate.

IIININ RADIO STATIONS

The radio commission is trying to eliminate d number of broadcasting stations m pursuance of the Dill Davis radio law, which represents what Congress thought of the situ- ation. In a general way, perhaps. most radio fans think there are too many stations on the air and most of them seem to agree that cur tailment will be to the advantage of listeners ill. It is the manner Of curtaiment, however, that strikes snags and there can be little Ques- ton that the congressional method Is open to serious objections in
