WASHINGTON, March 1910
speak Of Senator Curtis Of Kansas
as Charley" always has been con-
Sidered absolutely the correct thing.
I never heard the former senator
actually say, Call me Charley" but
everybody did it, and it evidently
was no shock to him. No public
man ever wore senatorial honors
more unostentatiously than the Sun
flower state sOlon.
Vice President Curtis seems likely
to be quite a different individual.
To the whole senate's surprise. the
Kansan takes his new position with
great seriousness. He is the same
kindly old man that he was previ-
ously, but it has been clear ever
since election day that he felt he
had a much more important part
than formerly to live up to.
MI .Hoover's understudy has re-
buked no one, to be sure, for adj
dressing him as Charley" but there
is a subtle something in his man
ner which indicates that he resents
it a trifle now, as disrespectful, not
to himself, but to the vice presiden-
tial office.
All the senators are practicing, to
acquire the new habit. 1t is rather
difficult, after nearly 30 years of
nothing but Charley" and they
forget occasionally, whereupon q
hurt look comes into his eyes. and
the individual who made the break
stammersk land corrects himself.
Vice President Curtis will be &C
corded an the difference he may i'm
ply that he would like to have
shown to him, for every soul on
Capitol Hill has a real affection for
him and wants to please him-only.
who would have imagined that ned
care two eoppers?
The vie president usually is
thought otin Washington as a good
deal Of a political idler-a person
atty Of ne particular Importance,

BY RABBI A. H. SILVER
Of The Temple, Cleveland, Ohio.

Of The Temple, Cleveland, Ohio.
abba Hillel Silver was born at Neinstadt.
Schirwindt, Lithuania, Jan. %, 1893. He is a
graduate of the University of Cincinnati and He
brew Union college. From 1915 to 1917 he was
rabbi Of Congregation LShem Shamayim at
Wheeling, W. Va. Since that time he has been
rabbi of The Temple at Cleveland He was in
France during the World war at the request of
the United States and French governments).
The American people hope to find in the incom-
ing presidential administration those qualities Of
vision, leadership and sympathetic understanding Of
the needs of our countrys great masses which were
lacking in the previous administration
Herbert Hoover will bring to his administration
his expert knowledge as an engineer, which will un-
.%doubtedly help him in many Of his problems. The
presidency of the United States, however. is more
than an engineering job. 1t is a job of statesman
ship and leadership.
We are entering upon an era of decreasing eco
nomic opportunities for the rank and file. The
economically independent middle class is being
crushed out Of existence by the vast mergers which
are going on at a namazing rate. We are facing the
prospect of becoming a nation of employees, wherein
a very small group will definitely control our indus
trial life and with it, Of course. our political life as
we'll. How far shall this concentration of power go
on? How shall the people be safeguarded against a
possible abuse of such power?
The American people hope for some guidance
from the new administration in this vast perplexity
They hope that Main street will have at least as easy
access to the White House as Wall street and that
the toilers of the earth. the miners and farmers and
mill workers will find in the new president at least
as understanding a friend and guide as organized
capital.
Mr.. Hoover is internationally minded. He knows
that no nation can go it alone. Building Is or SO
cruisers will not make us secure from attack or from
defeat. We cannot arm against the world. Nor can
any other nation. The American people hope that
Mr.. Hoover will bring back into our life a bit of the
international idealism of Wilson'S day. The Ameri-
can people are not tired Of idealism.

In one of his recent lectures before the Royal Col
lege of Surgeons, Sir Arthur Keith spoke of the
studies which anatomists had made of the brains of
men of genius. AS a general rule, the mass of the
brain is a good indication Of unusual intellectual
power of some sort. But the particular development
and delicate organization of certain regions of the
brain appear to be of more Importance than mere
size.
Sir Arthur referred to several anomalies which had
presented themselves in the pursuit of these inquiries.
One was the case of Anatole France. He certainly
was a man of genius, under any tolerable definition,

George Jean Nathan and Alexander

How many stars can you SCI in
all the sky? There are about 20
stars of the first magnitude, and
the number increases per magnitude
in about the ratio of 8 to /. That
is, there are 20 stars of the first
magnitude; about so Of the second:
$50 Of the third; $40 Of the fourth;
1920 of the fifth; and 1850 stars of
the sixth magnitude. The actual
number differs but little from this.
There are actually 1850 sixth mag
nitude stars. Thus we see there are,
roughly, about 1000 stars in the en-
tire heavens visible to the unaided
eye.

Thinly Clads Of Nation Ca
Their at Dallas Today For
First Meet There
BY GAYLE TALBOT, Jr..
Associated Press Staff Writer

DALLAS, March 30.-P)-A
horde of the nations athletes. fresh
from a spectacular assault on
Southwestern track and field marks
yesterday at Austin, poured into
Dallas today by rail and rubber to
participate in the First Annual
Southern Methodist University
Relays.
Practically the same field which
shattered Is Texas relay records
and equalled one world mark at
Austin was prepared for further
rivalry on the cinder paths at Ow-
enby Stadium here.
Officials of the meet discounted
the theory that the long overnight
hop would prevent the thinly-ciadS
s1ualling yesterdays brilliant per-
Torrance. With the possible eX-
ception of Paavo Nurmi. Finland's
great middle distance star, al of
the o than 1000 entries are on
the sunny side Of Is. At that age
an upper berth holds no terrors.
AS today's meet was the first of
national scop to be held in Dallas,
officials anticipated a big crowd.
The appearance OF Nurni, who
holds all records except one from
one to 10 miles outdoors. and the
prospect of seeing Claude Bracey,
Rice Institute flash mad native son,
equal his world mark Of 9.5 for the
century proved powerful magnets.
Inasmuch as the meet inaugu-
rated the Southern Methodist speed
carnival, the contestants did not
have so many records to shoot at
as Yesterday, but each of the win
ners had the pleasing prospect of
being a record holder for at least
2 year.
twenty-five events comprise the
program. including s~pecialties for
high school and academic stars Of
the state. The officials included
Knute Rockne of Notre Dame as
referee: Jay wyatt, Chicago, start
CT; Ted Canty, Chicago, announcer,
and Billy Riz, Dallas, custodian OF
batonS.

His life time major league average
Of .321 proves that.
Cleveland decided last year that
Joe SeWell was the man to do the
third basing for that club. Joe
took a whirl at the job late last
season and while turning in a field
ing average Of 943, he fell only one
point below that of Johnny Ho-
dapp, the Indians regular at third.
Manager Roger Peckinpaugh OBJ
tanned Jackie Tavener from Detroit
to handle Joe's place at short, so
the agile ALBANIAN takes his steel
arm and keen batting eye to the
region where line drives come fast
and bunts come slow.
And if Little Joe can master the
fielding he won't rank below many
third sackers in hitting. for he has
a lifetime major league average of
1928.
