MACK DISPROvES
 OLD TIME AXIOM
Reiutes Saying This Year That
 "1hey Never Come Back"

Philadelphia, Sept. 16 tP}-Connio Mack. 6G-year- old manager who has just guided the Philadelphia Ath- letics into their seventh American league pcnnant, was lively rcfuta- ton today Of the old axiom: They never come back"
 Well l guess they have been shown," Mack said. They kept tell ing me 1 was too old" He referred 10 the countless critics in and out of baseball who showercd criticisms on the veteran pilot during the many years after 1914 when the Athletics were not so good. They were quick to forget Macks successes in the past, his six league champonshl and three world series victories.
 I'm too old, am I?" h contin- ued, repeating remarks made about him during the seven straight years the Mackmen finished in the cellar. "I guess they won't be saying that about mo for while again. l am lot older than when l used 10 hear it and read it every place I turned. They advised me to quit, to give up the rcins of the club a dozen years ago. All along the baseball front ] was told I was too old, that I should get out and give younger man a chance
 But I'm not ready to step down just yet. When I meet the man l think knows more baseball than ] feel I do, then he can have my job"
 Mack will have no part in the work of getting world series tickets into the hands of eager customers. Mail orders for the three games to be played here were being received today. This detail is in the hands of other club officials and a staff of extra clerks whose job will be to allot 37,O00 tickets among probably 100. .000 fans

Tom Mix Is Universal
Hero to Maori Children
BY E. E. FREE. PHI. ID.

For more than a third Of the native
Maori children of New Zealand the
proper image of q man is Tom Mix,
head down, shoulders hunched up, q
revolver in each hand and an express
sion of determination on his face. So
says Prof. G.. w. Paget of Liverpool Uni
versity, who reports the result of an
art test in the New Zealand schools, in
which some 800 children were requested
to draw various objects. When the call
was for a picture of a man, without
specification as to what color, kind or
condition of man was wanted, SO per
cent of the children responded, Prof.
Paget says, with the recognizable Tom
Mix portrait. That this might have
been local effect, due to some recent
and well remembered showing of a
Tom Mix film in the schools neighbor-
hood, is disproved by the fact that the
drawings were collected from no less
than As separate native schools. 1t is
perhaps significant Of Maori mentality
that the famous movie star was drawn
in nearly every instance in the same
crouching, well armed pose, as though
he were creeping up on an enemy. The
high percentage Of unconscious identi-
fication OF the Tom Mix image with
the "man" idea Is certainly significant,
Mr.. Paget believes, Of the power of mo-
tion pictures to impress the minds Of
children, probably no less the children
of civilized races than those of the
Maoris, an intelligent race, but one
only recently lifted from sayageTy.

served as chief executive of Kansas.
Senator ,Capper halls from one of
the great farm States of the West. He
has been head of the so-called farm
bloc In the Senate. He gave the peo-
pie of Kansas In his radio address a
talk about the farm relief legislation
just put on the statute books and
praised that legislation highly. He is
one OF those who has stood squarely
with the administration in support of
the new farm law. He believes 1t will
be of material assistance to the people.
At the same time he took q jab at
the House tariff bill, which, he said,
was q joke as o farm relief measure.
Both Senator Capper and Senator Allen
are aligned with the administration In a
demand for q reduction of many OF
the rates carried In the Hawley bill
and for more increases on some Of the
farm products.
Senator Capper's estimate of the cli-
mates In Kansas and washington Is
not without interest. He reached home
on a hot day. He said:
IT want to assure you, though, that
you have no monopoly on hot weather
out here. This Is real paradise COM
pared to the sweltering weather we have
had to endure over East during the past
few weeks. Here you bake and dry up.
Over there you simply melt and ruin on.

there isn't much on my frame for the

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

there is anything exceptional or par
ticularly fetching In a humdrum nor
mality.
EVERY one is little queer but me
and thee, and even thee Is little
queer" the old Quaker said.
The little strangenesses are what
make life interesting and in the long
run worth while.
The normal is an exact meeting of
the expectations Of normality as framed
by the composite mind Of the mass of
the population.
From every standpoint of reason and
logic they are right, but life has q way
of sweeping logic and reason aside in
some of its most wonderful manifesta-
tions.
Crossing the Atlantic alone in an air.
plane was certainly not normal thing
for any man to attempt. This was
proved by the fact that no man had
ever done 1t.
Yet when Charles Lindbergh did 1t
the world greeted him with an excep-
tional uproar (which Is almost as strong
today as ever), which proved once and
for all that mankind loves best its
exceptional men.
Lindbergh is no orthodox product of
the American educational system. He
got out of 1t and went his way alone
W 0-H1uc dCCidun.
y X X
The sneer of "abnormality" contained
in unWritten language on every report
card which shows that a child has
failed to be passed" to the next grade
is only another taboo which needs to
be faced by the keen light Of modern
day psychology.
It is often precisely those very chill
dren who are misfits in the orthodox
educational system who succeed best in
later life.
They are not abnormal at all, except
as measured by the hard-and-fast rules
held by the school teacher. And, with
all due respect to the pedagogues of the
Nation, every one actively at work in
the business world knows that mem
bers OF the teaching profession lead in
essence cloistered lives.
Their very position at the head of
the institutions gives them a plentiful
supply of what might be termed, with
out disrespect, "delusions Of grandeur -
Human nature is human nature, and
those placed by circumstances In con-
troll OF others assume aspects Of supe-
riority, just as Army officers take on the
voice of command" as part Of their
duties.
The school system Is inherently in
capable Of appreciating or understand
ing the different child. Heroic efforts
have been made to do so, but the task
is beyond the average teacher. There
are so many extenuating circumstances
in relation to every child, so many un-
known factors, that not even Prof.
Dewey could do it.
Even a father or mother cannot see
into a child's mind. The late Repre-
sentative Lindbergh never had any idea
that his name would live because of
his son. There is a line in relation to
the understanding Of one human being
by another beyond which no one can
pass.
This is at once the limitation of par
ents and educators and the happy hope
of children. A boy who belongs to the
minority which does not pass" may
some day outdo the majority which
does. His very difference from the mass
constitutes his best asset.

William 7. Galihsr.

william T. Galliher came to WASH
ington as q boy and grew up with the
city. AS much as any contemporary
Washingtonian he belongs in the fore
front of the builders Of this community
His early life was identified with the
early years of the Washington young
er generation knows today. As he grew
older he became q veritable pillar of
strength that for many long years has
been called upon for never-failing sup
port. His sudden death Is q grievous
shock to an untold number of friends
and real loss to Washington.
Success, with Mr.. Galliher, amounted
to trait Of character. For in every
thing he did, and his activities were
many and spread over long and USE
full life. he was thorough, courageous
and sincere. He made his name synony-
nous with stanch integrity. In his
church, in his fraternal organizations,
in the business, the financial, the po-
litical and the civic life Of this city he
was q leader who never left the ranks
Of the workers.
The Star tenders Its deep sympathy to

gentleman and, as member of the COM
munity which knew him as a faithful
