JONES TAKES THIRD NATIONAL OPEN BY WIDE MARGIN
Split Season Seen
Unlikely as Texas
Race Grows Hotter
(By The Associated Press.)


Events Of the weekend about pre-
cluded the last possibility Of a two
ply race in the Texas league. Even
if the eight magnates who plant
their feet under President Roberts
desk at Dallas tomorrow were in Ia
vor of dividing the club chase for
financial reasons, it is doubtful
they would dare affront the cash
customers by disrupting such a
battle royal as is in progress at this
time.
1t would be trying to gid the well
known lily. When a schedule Is
half run and three outfits are packed
into a space of one game at the top
Of the heap, that is what is tech
nically known as a boss race.
Dead Balls Up
When the first half of the 1928
scramble ended June %, Houston
was leading the second place Pan
theirs BY seven and one-half games,
with Dallas % IL games in the
rear. Today, Dallas is clinging to
first place by a margin Of one game
with Wichita Falls and Shreveport
deadlocked on the second floor.
Fort Worth. fourth, is six games
out Of the lead.
1t is pretty safe TO assume the
meeting will confine themselves to
a discussion Of the caliber of base
balls being used in the league this
season There was much unrest a
few weeks ago, when some one dis
covered the pellets didn't have the

COVE COMMENTS
BY c. A. Renouf

Many people believe, or have the
idea that they cannot die till their
time has come. This view implies
that nothing you can do will alter
the date or manner OF your death.
This Is a fatalistic theory which is
not in accordance with the incl
dents and accidents which are ex-
perienced in the lives of everyone
We are told that time and
chance happens TO all, and we
know in our individual expert
enees that things have happened
that have altered the whole course
OF our lives, which may have led
us into situations in which we may
have lost our lives, or on the other
hand may have averted some fatal
accident.
II the fatalistic theory is cor
rect then we are not free agents
in the governing OF our lives. Oh
course we are free agents as to our
individual mode OF living, in VIVA,
we eat and what we drink, de,
spite prohibition, and to some ex.
tent in our occupation, and ever
this latter is often controlled by
the time and place in which WI
live.
Our lives are TO a great extent
controlled by law and the econo
mic condition OF the country wi
live in, so that in the final an
alysis we are not free agents il
that respect. Take eonscriptioi
tor instance, where a man is com
PEELED to go to war and very like
~ get killed. No one in gooC
health wishes to die, and the nor
NAL person does not contemplate
his Or her eventual demise will
any degree of satisfaction or ever
resignation to the inevitable. TIL,
wish to live and live long is in
herent in our natures.
The all important thing is HOY
to accomplish this desirable result
Nature shows us that you do no
raise strong virilc plants or bird
or animals from weak scions.
Equally wrong methods of feed
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1929-01-04

ing and raising young stock can
not result in raising strong dis
ease-resisting individuals.
Therefore it is necessary in the
first place to have strong, healthy
progenitors, second TO have the
right kind of food in right guam
titles, third, and perhaps the most
important, efficient elimination.
A person can live quite a long
time without eating, but it is a
eineh that they will not last long
if elimination comes TO total
stop.
Certain animals have long lives.
Elephants, whales, geese, parrots,
and pike fish are often credited
with exceeding one hundred years.
While certain trees number their
years in thousands. And it seems
strange that humans should, being
the most intelligent of all living
things be limited to such short
average span of life.
Ancient Bible men are credited
with reaching close to one thou
sand years, but most likely their
years were really lunar months
and if you divide their years by
thirteen, their ages would CORE
spond with the ages of men to
day.
And how about a future life
The desire and hope for life after
death is strongly implanted in oul
nature, yet up 10 the present M
enc has returned from the voyag,
across the Styx, and no one re
members having lived in the past
Science has pot been able to dem
oustrate future existence and tn,
only hope is that contained in th'
promises given in the Scriptures
II seems reasonable that in view
of this strong, universal desire t,
live again that that life beyonc
the grave will eventually be re
allied, at least by some.

 Tsa most important thing at t1is time, however, is the public meeting Saturday and it is hop od all interested will be present to lend their personal support and give expression to their personal ideas.

COMMUNITY ARCHITECTS

"Iives of great men oft remind us we can make sublime and departing, leave behind us 1ootprlnVS on the sand of time. +aa ,-o
 Thus sang the poet of age when greatness was expressed more in terms of fortuitous genealogy than in individual contributions the happiness of mankind
 Thus we come to the question of What IS great ness?" The avenues of expression multlfold not the least of which is ii the employment ot the talents to ones immediate environment
 The man who builds little home creates flower garden and gives to his community this expression of permanency becomes at architect, because he has added his touch the general scheme of progress The same may be said of those who in establishing business are content to mark time, but adds pro- gressve penanency to hc quarters, at the same time giving expression h faith in loyalty to his home town city
 Many men dream of ascending to the glare of the spotlight through some extraordinary performance Unconsciously they in the spotlight through the simple agencies at hand wherein they gave their best even in the smallest way Through these agencies of expression cities are built and keeping abreast of evolutionary progress stand evidence that the com munity architect is not content to stand still.
 True familiarity breeds contempt especially in small communities, jealouses often blind one to the cardinal virtues of another. The forces may be made to serve in the accomplishment of the goal for which all progressive men aim.
 One may be great in little things as well as big.

Pennsylvania Man Owns
Rare Edison Product

Sunbury, Pa.-Prof. Harry L. Keef-
er of the faculty of Sunbury high
school is the possessor of one Of the
six electric light globes first made by
Thomas A. Edison in his pioneering
work. Professor Keefer says that the
relic came to him through F. A.
Wardlow. who was secretary of the
Edison Pioneers.
A few years ago Mr.. Keefer organ
ICED Thomas A. Edison Science club
in this city, and he has been keeping
well informed on the pioneer work of.
Mr.. Edison in this locality. The local
electric light plant was started here
in 1882 by Thomas A. Edison, and he
worked in 1t in 1888 first dyna-
mos used in the Edison lighting plant
here are on exhibition in Dearborn,
Mich. They were used here for many
years and were sent to the Chicago
Worlds Fair. after which they were
stored in city car barn. Later they
were shipped to the Edison Pioneers
In 1923, when Sunbury celebrated
it's sesquicentennial, Mr.. Edison was
invited to attend, and upon his arrival
the city commemorated the fortieth
anniversary Of the first three wire
lighting system in the world by un-
yelling tablet in front of the City

Why We Do
What We Do
by nj. X. THOMSON. Ph. D.
WHY WE LOOK UP TO
SOME, LOOK DOWN
ON OTHERS
. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

TT rs q common human trait to look
up to some and look down on 9th
ers. We look up to those who have
some advantage over us-in wealth,
social position, skill, learning, personal
beauty anything. Envy is the chief
urge. We would look up to no one
unless we envy him, and are eager to
get into his class.
This envy may be quite sincere and
without i'll will towards those whom
we envy. In fact we envy because
we are overcome by sense of in
feriority in some particular. The
people we envy exert mysterious
power over us. We often admire
them and try to emulate their dis
tinguishing characteristic. 1t may not
be as strong as hero worship in most
cases, for it is not always the man
that we envy so much as his superior
position and power that we would like
to secure for ourselves.
We cultivate those we look up to.
There is certain satisfaction in hob
nobbing with people little above our
station in life. Physical proximity is
unconsciously interpreted to mean
a closeness in quality. One man
naively boosted that he sat very close
to celebrity at a banquet. This
made him feel thst he was not very
far removed from this mans great
ness.
In a democracy the people laugh at
the idea of caste system such as ex-
lists in India and the titles of nobility
and other purely social class distinc-
ton. These seem ridiculous to us be-
cause they appear to be based on ar
tificial distinctions. We prefer the
ideal situation Of basing superiority
and class distinctions on character
and ability.
The motive back Of 1t all, however.
remains the same. Human beings the
world over look up to some and look
down on others regardless Of the stand
ards used. We do this to satisfy the
double-barreled impulse Of self-asser'
ton and establishment.

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIOMS
By H. IRVING KING
WRESTLING GIRLS AND
GROWING HENS

HERE we have very ancient su-
perstition. To the primitive man
what was unusual was unnatural and
what was unnatural was very calami-
tous. He arrived at the first part OF
the proposition Observation-Disclosures
rience taught him the last part. AS
rule hens don't crow or girls whistle.
The rest follows naturally-the cave
mans syllogism. We all have In us
more of the primitive man than we
are aware Of or willing to acknowl-
edge perhaps. Therefore we say:
Whistling girls and Growing hens
Always come to some bad ends.
Or perhaps:
A whistling girl and growing hen
Is neither At for God nor men.
The rhyme is. different in different
localities. It will be seen that &C.
cording to the first mentioned rhyme
the calamity predicted Is to the alb
normal girl or hen. The second
would appear to carry more the idea
of unworthiness than Of calamity; yet
those who repeat it generally attach
to it the idea of bad luck or distaste
and regard the same not only as
threatening the abnormal girl or hen
but also those who hear them whistle
or crow. The one idea is merely an
extension of the other.
