OUR UNOFFICIAL ENJOYS

1t is rather comforting to read the
back-handed slap which Ambassador
Dawes recently aimed at those socially
ambitious folk who poster American am
bassadors abroad with demands that
they be presented at court.
Speaking at Cambridge, where he re-
ceived an honorary degree, the ambassa-
dor referred to the Gold Star mothers
visiting London as Representatives of
| the heart and soul of the American peo-
ple," and added:
"They were not self-invited. They
did not come with their minds occupied
by thoughts of society reporters or fash
ionable dressmakers. Ny proudest hour
was when | presented these best repre-
sentatives of my people to those who rep
resented the British people and the Brit
|ish legion"
If America as a nation is judged in
Europe by the. Americans who go over
there, Europeans sometimes must have
very poor opinion of US. There is moth
ing especially inspiring about those social
climbers who go over, as Ambassador
Dawes says, with their minds occupied
by thoughts of society reporters or fash
ionable dressmakers." Nor are some of
lesser literary lights who flock about
Paris any more uplifting to consider
But we do send over a good many un-
official ambassadors of better type.
There are, for instance, these Gold Star
mothers. We can surely be content to
have Europe judge us by them. In fact,
they probably give better impression
than we, as a nation, deserve.
Nor are these the only ones. There is
small army of American business rep
resentatives all over Europe; keen, alert
and intelligent, binding the old world to
the new with ties of commerce and trade.
We shall not fare badly if foreigners
guage America by those people. They
are typical of US.
The social climber-generally female
represents only small class. Her
frenzy to kneel before royalty, to enter
the homes of Lord Thus and Lady That,
is not representative of the nation as
whole.

Sharkey-Schmeling fiasco in New York
last night.
The intimation is that no champion
ship will be awarded on the basis of the
foul verdict awarded by the referee to
the German boxer
If this is true, rank injustice is be-
ing done to Schmeling. The bout was ad
vertised for the championship of the
world. The fact that Schmeling won on
a foul does not alter the fact that he won.
Championships have been won on fouls
before, Joe Cans getting his champion
ship in 1906 from Battling Nelson, Willie
Richie won the same way from Ad VOL
gast and more recently Jackie Fields
took the welterweight championship
from Joe Dundee via the foul route.
While in truth neither Sharkey nor
Schmeling can be considered in the class
of champions, they were fighting for the
title for lack of more suitable material.
Followers of boxing in Germany and
other European countries cannot be
blamed if they accuse US of bad sports
manship, in case the title is withheld
from Schmeling It will be far better
for American boxing to have the cham
pionship go to Germany, than to be con-
sidered poor losers and bad sports by all
who are fair-minded.

WATCHING CHICAGO

Efforts of Chicago newspapers to
bring about real clean up of their city,
following the murder of Alfred Lingle,
are being watched by the entire nation.
If there is to be anything achieved the
newspapers backed by public oplhion'
are the only agency that can accomplish
it. The police, ground between the poll
ticians on one side and the gangsters on
the other, are powerless. The politicians
don't want cleanup and the same OF
course can be said for the gangsters.
There is every indication that the pa
pers mean business this time, and equal
indications that the peiice mean nothing
more than a pretense toward a real eI-
fort. The latter have rounded up sever
al hundred of the smaller fry among the
hoodlums and gangsters, but not one ma
jor character.
These latter, though we'll known to
the police, are reported to have tied.
On the basis of past performances, 1t IS
iustifiable to believe that they were tip
ned off to flee, rather than be caught IN
the police net.
Chicago must overturn its entire polltl-
cal government if it would succeed in
eradcating the evil that now controls It.
Half-hearted measures and threatening
gestures will not do it. With seven III
fluential newspapers banded together,
and supported by the honest business
men and citizens of the city, much can
be accomplished. 1t is time for stern
measures and if some have to be hurt IN
the turnover, the end will justify the
means.
Lingle's Staying is but the most glaring
example of long list of tragedies and
outrages that Chicago has meekly allow
ed to happen without real show of re-
sentiment.

By HOWARD r. GARIS

Uncle Wiggily, with Baby BuntE
and many of his rabbit boys and
girls. was standing near a dogwood
hush in his garden. Baby Bunty
had heard puppy barking in the
bush and she thought maybe the
queer little fellow had grown there,
as she once thought little cats grew
on pussy willow trees.
But the little puppy had jumped
up into the dogwood bush because
pussy had chased him, and when
Uncle Wiggily asked which pussy
it was a voice answered:
"I did it and IN do it again

"Why, it's little Mew." ex-
claimed Baby Bunty, as she saw a
pussy crawl out from beneath a
burdock weed.
''Did you chase this poor puppy
so he tried to jump over the dog
wood bush and landed in the. middle
of it?' asked Uncle Wiggily as he
lifted the puppy down to the
ground.

cat. Boo! I don't like you!'i
