If the Japanese, who for some reason
still are uncertain about the doubles
team, pair Abe with Satoh, then they
have a combination which may win
points against any team in the Davis
Cup matches. I believe Abe and Satoh
would have at least an even chance, If
not better, against either Morpurgo and
Gaslini of Italy or Gregory and Collins

have the edge on them in the European

Keep on Swinging

EVEN the depth and darkness Of
~ the night constitute no more
than happy device whereby the
crooner may seek sweet arms of
love. There's nothing on the air
but love-love Of Sally, and your
neighbor.
Every voice, even though it be
employed in nothing more than the
brief announcement Of the correct
time, drips with honey and kindly
consideration.
I should think that the old lady,
who is resident in radio land, and
even some other casual visitors
might, on occasion, cry out for Bit
ter truths, harsh verses and soured
mandolins tangled out of tune.
And this opinion comes from one
all coated with the same treacle as
his fellows. I, too, have smiled down
the long miles which stretch away
from the microphone and vapored
cheerily.
Nor have ever failed to promise
any oppressed spirit who wrote in
quiringly the perfection Of tomor-
rows jam. Keep On swinging, take
a nice cut at the ball and in the
end will come salvation and the fan
rewards.

Make us Be Gay

THAT have said in essence, not

I know that? The truthful answer
is, I don't.
Yet there is much to be said for
us who serve as slaves to the studio.
It is not easy to throw off the mag
mary obligation of furnishing no
words but those which may be COM
Portable.
The mail is filled with letters
from those who have sought out
attitudes and dry climates, invaded
folk are fans, and many from the
vast army of the distressed and sore
at heart say, make us be gay"
Yet slowly I come round to think
that in good cheer which is unhag-
ging there must be oyertones Of
panic ard despair.
We can't be as good as all that.
And even the stricken may want to
catch the echo of some familiar
sign by which they can be treasured
they are not the solitary owners of
a peck of trouble.

much. Zone night" she said, you

I should think the sugar ration

AS yet the troubles of the world

SCIENCE
The Sun Is q Hot, Self-Luma-
inous Globe Of a Size Which
Staggers the Imagination.
by DAVID DIETZ

TINE sun shines so brightly in
IL the sky that no eye can gaze
upon it. A Belgian physicist who
forced himself to look into the sun
for twenty seconds, blinded himself
permanently by his experiment.
Mankind always has, perhaps in
stinctively, realized the Importance
Of the sun. But 1t has taken mod
ern astronomy to give us true
picture of the glory of the sun.
Modern astronomy teaches us that
the sun is hot. self-luminouS
globe of size which staggers hu-
man imagination.
The diameter of the sun is ap-
proximately 10 times that of the
earth, S64,100 miles.
To build an object as large as the
sun out of globes the size of the
earth would require 100000 such
globes.
The moon revolves around the
earth at a distance of 100000 miles.
Suppose that the sun were hollow
sphere, and that the earth was
placed at the center of it. The
moon would have plenty of room in
side the sphere to revolve around
the earth.
In fact, the moon would be only
a little more than halfway from
the earth to the suns outer sur
face, for it would be $4,000 miles
from the earth to that surface.

Ignorance Blinds us

NNE need nos sympathize with
" Communism as political
theory to realize the monumental
ignorance which is responsible for
the average Americans attitude and
which has led him and his govern
ment to make such gratuitous
plumbers.
One need not Sympathize with
Communism to understand the folly
of turning our backs on great ma
ton simply because we do not agree
with the form of government it has
chosen to adopt.
The truth is that we have been
blinded by a few agitators, have
permitted ourselves to misconceive
what millions of people are doing
in Russia because of what few
hundred have done here.
Undoubtedly, Russian leaders are
out to overthrow capitalism, but
they are not fools enough to sup
pose it can be done with pamphlets
and paradeS.

consumption, for the express pur-
pose of keeping their own followers
in line.
Their real campaign, however, is
based on economic strategy; on the
development of huge enterprises, on
ruthless efficiency, on highly dis
ciplined mass production, on the
very same theories of big business
which our own captains Of industry
are trying to put into effect.

Viewpoint All Wrong

THE average American interprets
i Communism in the light of
street parades and soap box orators.
To him il is just another wild-eyed
theory which attracts buns, malcon-
tents and fanatics Of every descrip-
ton. He can not think Of it as
an economic system which is devel-
oping business enterprises like Stan
dard Oil, General Motors or the
Pennsylvania railroad.
To his way Of thinking, it is a
philosophy of idleness, an alibi to
loafers, an excuse for disturbance.
Trained to abhor state control of
every kind, and to believe in the
superior efficiency of private enter
prise, the average American can not
believe that Communism has sue
ceeded in organizing Russian indus
try.
What could such a bunch do?"
he asks, recalling the TRADES he
may have heard at a street meeting,
the bedraggled demonstrations he
may have seen.
Besides, has not his government

earth = refused to recognize the
Communist regime, and hasn't
secretary of state said Russia was
an economic vacuum?

Uneven Prosperity

How prosperous is America? This is subject
Of the most extensive controversy Some picture us as
already in Utopia except for occasional insignificant
depressons. Nothing should be done to disturb the
balance of this best of all possible worlds.
But the critics hold that prosperity is a myth.
Millions out of work. other millions impover
ished and agriculture is on its way to new serfdom.
they argue.
. What is the truthP
Much relevant information is contained in Pro-
fessor Paul H. Douglas new book, Real Wages" the
product of years of patient research the part of
this scientist and his assistants.
Comparing the nineties of the last century with
1926 Douglas concludes that the laboring class as
a whole, including agricultural workers. could pur-
chase about IS per cent more with its earnings in
1926 than it could in 1899. In other words, real
wages for the working class a whole have increased
IS per cent in the last quarter century.
The working class as a group is even better of
than these figures indicate. The size of the family
has decreased. The government is doing more for
the workers. All in ALL Douglas believes that
the general working class is from At to SIS per cent
better of than it was twenty-five years ago.
These figures apply, of course, to employed
workers. but Douglas believes that there has been
no increase in unemployment in the last quarter
century The situation remains about it was.
The average for 1897 to 1926 was 1o-2 per cent
On further analysis. however, the picture does
not prove quite as bright these preliminary gen.
civilizations might indicate The mass of American
workers are unskilled. Among this class there has
been no such increase in material wel-being. Their
real wages have increased but slightly and they
suffer previously from unemployment.
Annual income of the unskilled laborer In the
United states does not exceed $1o50 while it requires
from 81 600 to $500 for family of five to live at
the minimum of health and decency standard.
DR. Leila Hougheling studied the income Of unskiled
workers in Chicago and found that the income of
50 per cent Of the heads of families was insufficient
to support their dependents.
Therefore when consider the plight of the
American farmer and the gross inadequacy of the
income Of unskiTed workers We must conclude that
prosperity is still goal rather than an achievement
We may be better of than most of the other
countries Of the world. But as long as our farmers
are approaching foreclosure and servty millions are
unemployed in our industrial cities and unskiled
workers are earning less than health and decency
require. we have nothing to brag about

Unseating Huston

After four months of backing and filling, Claudius
Huston finally is being forced to resign as chair
man of the Republican national committee. Hustons
departure will rob the Democrats of one of their
juciest campaign arguments, and will leave every
Republican congressional candidate hopping his brow
IN relief.
But the trouble caused by Claudius can not be
wiped out by his resignation. In the first place
his record has somewhat shaken the public con-
fdence in the much advertised cleanup of the Re
publican organization. In the second place. it has
created so much bitterness within the party manage
ment that the desired discipline and morale not
be regained quickly.
Moreover the Presidents indecision in ousting
Huston is apt to encourage other party officials to
defy Hoover leadership in the future.
The ISSUE of course was almost entirely a per-
sonal and party matter. Huston not govern
ment official.
He was shown by a senate investigating committee
to have mixed his personal and his lobby funds using
some of the latter temporarily to trade in margins
on the stock market. That essentially matter
between him and his employers.
He was shown to be power lobbyist, especially
active in the Muscle Shoals fight But he had legal
right to engage in such activity.
And the Republican party had and continues to
have perfect right to choose such man to head
and represent its national organization. 1t ques
ton of taste.
But that was the rub A good many Republican,
indeed virtually all of them in congress-objected
very strenuousy to blackening their party with the
Huston brush
AS for the public on the sdenes, there has been
a growing curiosity:
Why was a of Huston'S type chosen in the
beginning?
Why was he allowed to retain party leadership for
months after he was exposed?
Since who really knows is disposed to
these questions apparently the public will have
to go on being curious until it forgets all about
Huston

mite increase from the youngest to
the oldest.
The same observation was true re-
garding bruises and contusions,
fractures and amputationS, sprains
and hernias, and indeed all other
accidents, except burns and scalds.
Just why burns and scalds should
vary from all other types Of acct
dents is not explainable, but prob
ably merits some study.
1t is barely possible that older
men are more careful regarding
working with corrosive acids, fire,
hot liquids and metals, and that this
may explain the unusual situation.
The study brought out the I'M
questionable fact that for all injur-
les, except for burns and scalds, the

longer in general will be the period
of his disability.

Does Crime Pay?

That fine old adage Crime never pays is
subjecting itself to new scrutiny and it may
90 into the discard as just tradition or
superstition of other days, especially when
crime affects public money and business
Certainly the men in Illinois who built
up fine business in bootleg gasoline found
that crime was very profitable and as safe
as dictatorship in bank.
When state officials compromised with
these confessed criminals for $4,000, the
crooks escaped paymen of about 100000
according to original figures furnished by
state officials on the extent of their frauds.
The public statements of officials who
dealt with them was that through the simple
system of msbranding their gas when
brought into the state, they had avoided tax
payments of several times the final compro-
mis- eof $4,000.
The gas tax belonged to the people. Aside
from that, the evasion made it difficult for
honest dealers in gasoline to compete. These
dealers suffered loss of trade. They may
have been compelled to discharge employees
and thus add to the unemployment.
It is certain that both the people as
whole and honest business were injured by
the confessedly crooked scheme.
Whether these Chicago crooks who have
settled for their pilfering, bribed state off
Gals may be learned later.
One thing is certain. They believed that
they were doing business on basis of brib-
cry. If the money did not reach state Off
Gals who might have been inquisitive it
was not their fault.
They confessed to the chief legal adviser
of the state that books of their Indiana
manager showed payments of large sums to
one state employee.
They believed they were paying for pro-
lection for CRIME.
a 1t is possible, of course, that their own
employee was stealing from them under the
guise of brides and that the money did not
reach state employees. Perhaps the crooks
found the employees too dumb or Indifferent
to need bribing
When caught, the chief conspirators in
the robbery of the state get away by paying
back a percentage of what they stole.
AS long as incidents of this kind happen
in government it will take more than copy
book morality TO make young men and
women believe that crime never pays.
. OF course, Legislature will soon meet. 1t
might be good idea to elect only those who
will pledge themselves to thorough investi-
cation Of the whole affair. They may be able
to do something to restore confidence in
honesty as the best policy.

They Mean Business

WE can well afford to dismiss
w the nit-wit propaganda, the
noisy disturbance, and the cheap
publicity stunts which characterize
Communism in America as of no
consequence.
What We can not afford to ig-
more or underestimate is the COM
petition which Russia one day will
provide in the field of foreign
trade, and in which she will enjoy
certain advantages.
The Russians believe in Com
munism, not as an abstract theory,
but as means to prosperity.
That is why they put up with
conditions We would regard as in
tolerable, and submit to a disci-
pine we would resent.
That is also why they can be de-
pended on to put such energy into
their work as will bring results.
There is just one way that we
can meet Communism on the larger
battle front, and that is by show
ing the old American spirit, by
keeping one jump ahead of the
game, by striving for the things
that count, and not getting excited
over a lot Of political balderdash.

BERNARD SHAW'S BIRTH

.NN July rs, George Bernard
" Shaw, noted British critic,
dramatist and Socialist, was born
in Dublin, Ireland, where he spent
the first twenty years of his life.
His formal education over in his
fifteenth year, Shaw got his first
job as clerk in a land agents Of
flee. He soon tired of this, how
ever, and decided to go to London
to devote himself to literary ca
reer.
His first venture into print oc-
CURED there when he wrote a let
ter to newspaper crticising a lee
ture given by two American evan
geliSts.
This was perhaps the earliest ex-
preston of the satire which he
thereafter directed against certain
social conventions, educational in
situations and conventionalized
ideals.
As hack-worker and writer of I'M
successful novels, Shaw lived for
nine years in poverty. But his for
tunes began to mend when he be-
gan to write criticisms on art, mu-
steal and dramatic subjects for Lon
don newspapers.
AS a critic. he championed un-
popular but finally victorious causes.
An ardent Socialist from youth,
Shaw also wrote important articles
on Socialism for propaganda maya
zines.
Shaw's plays, ever satiric, are con-
sidered clever, witty and pregnant
with ideas. One of them, Can
dida," is said by critics to be the
best comedy since Sheriden.
Also among his best plays are
Arms and the Man" and Man and
Superman." In 1926 Shaw was
awarded the Nobel prize for Iitera-
ture.
