I think it was d master stroke
for George Washington to sign
Babe Connaughton as . line
coach. / am amazed that George
town didn't offer him some
thing better than a job as q
freshman "coachman."
/ have seen Babe handling q
football squad and was I'M
pressed by the fascination with
which the players devoured his
instructions and and how their
eyes drank in every gesture,
even following him in moments
when the team was supposed to
be resting.
The psychology Of this mag
netism that Babe has for foot
ball players OF the current era
is plain. He is Of the present
football age. The boys who are
now in college can well re-
member a few years ago when
Connaughton's name was on
everybody's tongue.
They know he was great as =
player because they saw him
play. Consequently they have
marked respect for his words
and his wisdom. Besides Babe
Connaughton is an impressive
man personally, both from
point of avoirdupois as well as
individuality. Yes, it was a
master stroke of Pixlee,s-that
of signing Connaughton.
It seems Co me that you hear
more Of Victor Herbert's com.
positions over the radio than
you do those of any other come
poser, dead or alive. Besides
Herbert's pieces, my favorite
radio numbers are Floyd Glib
bons and Amos and Andy. How
do you account for such q con-
glomeration Of tastes?
Two Of Washington's best
known girl bowlers will become
brides almost before you know
it. Marjorie Bradt is to be mar
ried tomorrow and Florence
Rembolt viii wed on the day
following Labor Day. Congrat-
ulations!

respect Navy has for Annapolis,

Chocolates hooks to the body
did not take any Of the fight
out Of the Bronx buster. 2
His most effective blow was
right uppercut that caught Singer
frequently when they rushed at
close quarters. Chocolates coun-
tering was pdetty at times, and so
was Singers, but they both missed
plenty.
Neither retained the boxing or
hitting form on which opinions Of
the fight were predicated.
I thought Singer won, not by any
great margin, but by enough to
carry the decision.
My round score shows five
clear rounds for the white boy
the first. second, fifth, tenth
and twelfth. / scored four
rounds for ChOcolate-tlne third,
fourth. seventh and eighth.
gave him the fourth and eighth
by 9 shade.
The last round was viciously
waged. with Singer chasing Choco-.
late around the ring and mixing with
him evrey time the Keed gave battle.
| called that one even, also the sixth
and ninth. Drawing it finer than
that, Chocolate would have had the
sixth by a shade, and Singer, the
ninth and twelfth.
Under the system Of scoring
rounds, Singer was entitled to the
duke" in my opinion. On. general
results, it could have beeen called a
draw.
Benny Leonard, who has been
coaching Singer. claimed no
more than a stand-Off.
The experts in the press rows had
1t all three ways.
Those who excoriated the officials
and accused them of undue favorit-
ism are all wrong.
There is no more capable or hon
est referee than Magnolia. He un.
doubleday called 1t az he saw it..
and he was right on top of the
fighters. Charley MathiSon. too, is
an old hand at the game and an
excellent judge.

This difference of opinion spread
through the crowd of $4,000 from
the press rows at the ringside right
back to the distant bleachers with
partisan challenges ringing all over
the premises.
No verdict that could have been
rendered would have pleased that
crowd. The decision cries aloud for:
a return match, which probably
will be staged at the Garden next
fall over the 15-round route.
That will be no hardship on
Singer and Chocolate, who entered
the realm Of big business last night
by drawing down something like
$4,000 each.
They fought with due respect to
each others proves and mixed

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Al
Singer and Kid Chocolate
started something more than =
two-man fight when they
paved and pasted each other
for IL rounds last night at the
Polo Grounds. IS
They uncorked an argument that
win increase in momentum and
bitterness until the skinny black
boy from Havana and solemn faced
little Hebrew from the Bronx meet
again over a longer route to settle
question OF supremacy that was
not answered by any means last
night. although the official decision
went to Chocolate and preserved his
winning streak.

Men by the thousands and the hun.
dred thousand are employed 1t the
Rouge plant alone and there are hum
dreds of acres of plant equipment. Yet
the purpose today is wholly the same as
when the equipment of the Ford organi-
ration was housed in a single small
building.
Everything that has been done has been
done to give further scope and expression
to the Ford Idea.
That idea is not merely to make auto
mobiles-not merely to create so much
additional machinery and so many mil.
lions of additional horse-power-but to
make this better world in which to live
through providing economical transporta-
ton for all the people.
For that purpose the first Model T was
made twenty-one years ago. For that pur-
pose the new Ford is made today. In
1929, as in 1908, it is again helping to
reshape the frontiers and the future of
the country and to further extend the
limits Of mans opportunity.
The Washington times., 1929-11-20

perhaps any other single thing to increase
the standards of living and to make this
a truly united country.
All the people are blended together
by the fexibility and swiftness of auto
motive transportation. The prairie farmer,
the industrial worker and the city business
man are governed by similar impulses, SIM
liar tastes, similar demands upon highly
specialized machinery to serve them.
This civilization can show no greater
example of disciplined machinery than in
the operation of the Ford Industries.
The great miracle is not the Car, but
the machines that make the machine
the methods that make it possible to
build such fine car, in large numbers,
at low price. \ ~
Craftsmanship has been put into mass
production. Millions and millions of parts
are made-each one SO accurate and so
exactly like the other that they fit per-
fectly to the thousandth of an inch when
brought together for assembly into COM
plete units.

ONLY FEW generations

~ NIL a KEW S~A~A@SAOAAS
ago the life of man was circumScribed by
his own physical limitations :. the dex-
terity Of his fingers, the strength Of his
back, the speed of his limbs, and the
labor of domestic animals.
The interchange of commodities was
slow, difficult. There were no good roads,
rs we know them today, nor any way to
travel swiftly, surely, over these roads.
The deeply rutted wagon trail was long,
hard trail.
Though boundless acres were all about,
1t was only the adventurous few who
travelled far. Manya man lived and died
without ever having been more than fifty
miles from home.
Then was bora an idea that was des-
tined to reshape the frontiers and the
future Of the entire countryside idea of
making a small, strong, simple automo-
bile so low in price that it might be placed
within the means of all the people.
The Washington times., 1929-11-20

The coming Of this new means Of trans
portation not only changed the industrial
life Of the nation, but helped to change
the private lives Of every one for all the
generations to come.
1t leveled hills, extended horizons,
created new opportunities, furnished the
means to earn more money and to enjoy
the leisure which that increased income
should bring.
In creating and building q small,
strong, simple automobile at a low price,
and in using it, man became accustomed
to thinking of machinery as a servant
He made power work for him.
More and more as time went on, in
industrial plants and on the farm, heavy
labor was taken off the back of man and
placed upon the broader shoulders Of
the machine.
The Ford moved everywhere, blazing
the way over miry roads and rocky noun
tain trails, through gumbo and sand,

Indians on the Warpath

Now the Indians are on the warpath agaln-thlS
time the civilized Indians who hold high places.
First, Will Rogers declared that Gen. Andrew jack
son was an oppressor of the Cherokees, a thlevlng
old warrior who first stole their lands and then ran
the dispoiled ones into the wilderness. It goes with
out saying that the chief Of the Claremont tribe
who Is a conventional democrat, demands that the
name Of Jackson shall be dropped from the calen-
dar of the democratic saints. Gone are the good
old days and the good old saints.
There is another Indian, the king OF the haW
tribe, who is creating a lot Of trouble in the eXclu-
sive social circles of the city of Washington Vice
Pres. Charles Curtis has come back to avenge the
wrongs of Poor 10. He is a widower. His sister,
Mrs. Gam, is his Official hostess.
Now the chief of the Kaws, brandishing his
tomahawk and with a %glittering knife in his belt,
has let it be known that the pipe of peace VIII not
be smoked unless Mrs. Gam shall be recognized as
the second lady Of the land, given the seat of honor
next to that of the first lady Of the land, and rank
ing above the wives Of cabinet officers and foreign
ambassadors at all the functions of the Washington
official-social season.
In days of Ole. this was the chant Where Nc
Gregor sits is the head of the table" Why not
whisper it to the sturdy and courageous political
king Of the surviving members Of the Kaw tribe?

u. S. to Seek Foreign Citrus
Market

To aid in creating additional markets for the
growing citrus fruit production of the United States,
congress has created a fund of sic, 900 to stimulate
exporting citrus fruits to European markets.
1t is planned to employ a man trained in citrus
growing and market to aid would be exporters here
and would-be importers on the other side OF the Al
lantic. The fund is not available until July 1.
This is a service which if properly handled may
mean much to the Valley indirectly. If proper con-
facts are made it might easily be Of great direct
benefit.
Dispatches from Washington state that the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce OF the department
of agriculture is giving a great deal of time and at
tention to the selection of the proper man Tor TINS
place. 1t is explained that department. heads feel
the employe, who is to be known as the citrus COM
missioner, should closely fit certain specifications.
And here is where the Valley is especially inter-
ested.
These same dispatches state that Florida and Cal
ifornia interests directly interested have been re-
ouested to make nominations for the place.
Surely it would be in the interest OF fairness 10
allow Valley men to have some word in this Selec-
tion. The fact that this has not been done is an in
dication that this citrus producing area must be
brought more forcibly to the attention OF official
Washington.
A letter from Acting Director o. P. Hopkins adj
dressed to Senator Fletcher of Florida says:
"Mr. Montgomery, chief of the division OF
foodstuffs, has just returned from California and
Florida. where he looked up most of the people
who are directly interested in the export OF citrus
fruits. : : : > Interested parties all have
been asked to submit names of men they would
consider suitable. The names Of a number OF
men have been sent in and We are checking up
with the exporters and c%onsigners to see who they
consider best qualified"
The Valley is going to be a serious competitor Tor
world citrus markets in a year or two and some OF
the fruit grown in this section already has been ex-
ported to England and other European countries.
1t behooves the leaders in the industry IN this Sec
ton to see that proper recognition is given to the de-
sires of this section.
