Cites West Point Speech

Because there Is contained in this
paragraph condemnation of the
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, owing to the fact that
he accepted an invitation to deliver
an address at the United States
Military Academy at West Point,
am taking the liberty of quoting
from the address which was de-
livered at West Point:
Labor always has been appre-
hensive when industrial disputes
which result in strikes in some
communities occur, lest the en-
ployerS of labor might influence
state or federal governmental
authorities to use the military
forces of our country in an effort
to defeat striking workingmen
and women who are fighting for
a higher standard of living and
for the enjoyment of better social
and living conditions.
We, therefore, ask that the gov
eminent refrain from using the
military power of our government
in support of unreasonable en-
ployers who seek, by force, to de-
feat the just and legitimate aSpir-
atoms of working men and
women.
We do not believe that 1t ever
was intended that troops of either
state or federal government should
be modified and used for the
purpose of serving as. protection
for strike-breakers, some of them
professional, in industrial con-
troverSieS.
I would have failed in my official
duty to labor if I had not accepted
this opportunity to visit this out
standing governmental institution
and deliver an address to the
students, who, 7 feel sure, were eager
to understand our great organiza-

IVAN PETROVITCH PAVLOV. to
l. use his full name, is best known
in the world of science for his work
on conditioned refiexes. He began
these experiments some twenty-five
years ago.
But at that time he was already
a world famous scientist, having re-
ceived the Nobel prize in 1904 for
his researches on the saliVary
glands. He had also conducted
many experiments to study the Sc
cretions of the stomach, liver, pam
creas and other organs of the body.
BY extremely delicate operations,
performed with all the care that a
surgical operation would be per"
formed upon human being, Pavlov
succeeded in making arrangements
whereby the secretions from these
organs in animals could be collected
outside the body.
The success of these experiments
depended upon the fact that the
animal felt no pain and underwent
no suffering. For if the animal felt
pain, it's functioning would become
abnormal and ruin the experiments.
Pavlov is famous for his ability to
perform a delicate operation with
out splitting a single drop of blood.
PavlovS experiments on condi-
toned rehexes are psychological
history. He showed that a dogs
mouth watered when the dog saw
food.
Later, he would ring bell eacF
time the dog was shown the foot nc
Still later, it was found that merely
ringing the bell was enough to
make the dogs mouth water.
Such an action pattern with tho I
substitution Of one stimulus for an
other to call out definite physio'oc
logical action-ir this case the Sc
erection of the salivary glands
known as a conditioned reflex. =.
Professor John B. Watson and thel
behaviorists insist that all huma
behavior is nothing more or LEI D"
than a great mass of such conc
toned reflexes built up one aftl "

MANY of the things that thrill
1VA us most we would rather not
be in, which Is curious, considering
how anxious we are for other people
to supply them.
There is strange conflict be-
tween our appetites and ideals.
Internationally, We work for peace,
good order, and prosperity.
When it comes to the theater,
however, a. book. or a newspaper,
we prefer trouble or tragedy. The
desire for five-reel thrills and eight
column headlines has it's bearing on
what occurs.
Many of our criminals would be
content with a less spectacular
career but for the publicity there is
in it, and the same is true with re-
gard to some of our politicians and
agitators.
incidentally, there might be less
stomach for speculation. but for the
chance to strut it offers, the change
to drop in and tell neighbor how
smart you have been, or show him
by trotting out a new and bigger
car.
Much that we do outside Of the
ordinary routine work, and some Of
what We do in it, Is born of the
desire to make a stir, and the de-
sire to make a stir owes something
to the fact that most people like
it, especially If they can read about
it, or look at it in safety.

IT'S queer how one event crowds

IT'S queer how one event crowds
L another off the front page.
Like everything else, news value
is a matter of comparison and rela-
tivity.
One day, a COW on Fifth avenue
Is about the most sensational thing
in sight. The next, nation can be
in trouble without attracting much
attention.
Generally speaking, it is the ex-
ceptionaI that counts, but it counts
far more If it appeals to universal
sentiment, or affects great many
people.
The storm in Wall Street touched
life throughout America, and Amer
lea ignored such dramas as the
naval powwow, the Chinese revo-
luton, and the lobby investigation
while it ragged.
Even murder had little chance.
Now that the turmoil Is over, we
can reopen the books once more
and see how the routine business of
life is going on.
BY and large, Is has been going
on as usual--So many suicides, so
many bootleggers arrested, so many
people crushed to death by auto
mobiles, so many babies born, so
many deaths from cancer, so many
hands out for the pay envelope at
the end of the week, SO many feet
under the table each noon.
Next Saturday will see the same
old crowds at the football games and
the same old traffic jams after
wards, and next Sunday will see
the same amount Of psycho-ana

Ut is a good thing, perhaps, to
Il knock off every once in so often,
but it is far better to realize that,
when it's all over, one can take up
the old grind where he left off.
Much as we hate the system and
efficiency of this machine age, it
gives us feeling of security that
no people ever enjoyed.
There is consolation in the
thought that no matter how sharp
ly stocks decline, or what the rebels
do to China, you can depend on the

LAKEWOOD, n. j., June "a.
Max Schmeling, who is be-
ing generally calculated to
sooner or later ascend the heavy
weight throne, has had a re-
markably rapid rise to the
pugilistic spotlight.
1t has only been a scant 13
months ago that he came to this
country practically unheralded
except for little band of New
York Germans who had either
seen him work in the Father
land or read of him in their
native newspapers and who met
him at the dock.
His first fight in this coun-
try in which he took the mea-
sure of Joe Monte, netted him
about $1,000. For his efforts
in the Milk Fund fight Thurs
day next, he will get 100000.
Quite a difference in purses in
a mere year and a half, Ell!
The Black Uhlan's showing
against Monte, a very run-of-
the-mine heavy, was nothing to
send the boys home talking to
themselves about, but a short
time afterwards his then man
ager, Arthur Bulow, got him an
engagement with Joe Sekyra
and for disposing of Joe the
German Dempsey got slightly
over $4,000.
There were many world-wise
fight observers around the ring
that night who nodded their
heads sagely, declaring that
with any kind of handling, this
importation from the Rhine
would give the present-day
heavyweights plenty about which
to worry.
Shortly afterward Pietro
Corri, an Italian, and Schmeling
hooked up in Newark, and at
the end Corri was laying flat
on his shoulders apparently in
dreamland. Meanwhile Johnny
Risko, the Cleveland baker man,
was pleading for a crack at the
German, and by accommodating
him, Schmeling came to the
surface of the heavyweight
waters.
In this fight Max came from
far behind to knock out Risko
and win the victor's purse of
$4,000. That fight with Risko,
really a tough customer in his
prime, gave Make his chance
to contribute his services to the
Milk Fund benefit which is ex-
pected to net 81, 100000 in that
there will be no tax taken
When the experts saw Schmel-
ing floor the aggressive Cleve-
lander, they chorused: "There
is fighter-there is second
Dempsey-there is the next
heavyweight champion of the
world"
Immediately Schmeling's serv-
ices came into demand. He had
all sorts of offers to meet this
man and that, but his handlers
would not allow him to be
rushed off his feet. They bided
their time. They waited until
he got a real offer from a re-
liable source-the Madison
Square Garden Corporation
and then decided to put their
man in against whomever the
advisers behind Mrs. w. r.
Hearst Milk Fund fight should
designate.
Bill Farnsworth, the New
York Journal sporting editor,
and two of his fight experts,
Bill Corum and Sid Mercer, a
trio that can't be equaled for
judgment where ring affairs
are concerned, suggested Paul
ino Uzcudun as the second party
to the Milk Fund main bout, and
the deal was closed with Schme-
ling in Germany over the trans
atlantic radio telephone.

YANKS STYM|ED
BY MACKS

Apparently stymied in their effort
to win their fourth straight pennant,
the once all-conQuering Yankees
were marking time today pending
the opening of their three-gam
series starting in Philadelphia on
Thursday when they will make one
more try to cut into the lead of the
triumphant Athletics.
They will need to make a clean
sweep of this series to get hack into
the running, for the series concluded

the Mackmen increase their' lead

watched the Yanks lose, $4,000
equally morose Chicago fans saw the
Pirates lambast the Cubs, s to Z, for

EXPLAINS
CLOVER HARM

Bobby Jones does not like to play
out of clover. While the Atlanta
golf wizard is admittedly one Of the
crispest iron players the game has
ever seen and will be less bothered
by clover playing than any other
competitor in the national open al
Winged Foot this week. he goes to
a shot out of the three-leaved COW
food with considerable misgivings.
Jones' theory of what happens to
the ball when played out OF clover
is an interesting one and Is verifie ed
by professionals who have studied
the proposition as closely as their
amateur rival. Here Is Bobhys in
depreciation of what causes the bail
to slip when played out of the
treacherous turf:
every one has seen a spit.

ball pitcher vets a part Of the
ball and slips it off his fingers
for sharp curve. Wei, that il
the same thing that happens
when you hit a ball sharply
out Of clover.
"Clover is the juciest grass that
there is. When the club starts
sweeping into ball lying in it the
club mashes the clover leaves and
makes the club face as slippery as
saliva does the baseball.
Instead of the hall taking a d.
rect flight from the club with the
rapid spin that scharacteriZes a

the major events of national
and international Importance,

today, the SchmelingPaulin

a tremendous interest in the
national intercollegiate tennis
and golf championships, boths
of which start today.
In Washington the interest IN
these two events is relatively high
because of the appearance in cache
of local players who stand excellent
chances of being crowned champ
ions. Georgetown and George Wash

entrants in each, and their progress
will bear watching, not only among
their college mates, but also among
sports followers generally. i,
