Gandhi's Ounce of Salt.

It takes more than an ounce of Illicit
salt scooped from the Arabian Sea to
make q revolution in India, yet Ma
hatma Gandhi's spectacular perform
ance last Sunday may come to have an
immense significance. Perhaps it may be
inmortalized as the Boston Tea Party
Of Indian independence. AS the Amer
lean colonial patriots dramatized their
teud with the British oppressor by
dumping tea cargoes into the sea in
protest against tax tyranny, so the
Mahatma has opened his campaign Of
'civl disobedience" by open defiance OF
the salt tax laws. Like the tea party,
the salt party is symbol. Whether
events in India will follow the course Of
developments precipitated by the his
toric affair in Boston Harbor time alone
can tell.
Gandhi,s purposes are clear. He
means to light the fires of revolt with
out further ado. Accompanied by a
band of volunteers, he marched two
hundred miles from Ahmadabad to the
sea with the avowed object Of staging a
spectacular violation Of the laws for
bidding the private manufacture Of salt.
The Mahatma desires that his simple
act Of filing an earthen jar with salt
water should IRE 300,O00,o00 Indians
with the grim resolve to offer "non-vio-
lent resistance" to British authority
throughout the empire.
Now that a technical or ceremonial
breach of the salt law has been COM
mitted," proclaimed Gandhi after
emerging from the water, "such a
course is open to any one who will risk
prosecution. He may manufacture salt
wherever he wishes and wherever con-
venient. My advice Is that workers
should everywhere manufacture salt
and. instruct the villagers to do IKE
wise, telling the latter at the same
time that they run the risk Of prose-
cution." The Mahatma recommends
that the fight against the salt taH
should be accompanied by q campaign
Of propaganda for the boycott Of for
eiRn cloth and for the prohibition Of
liquor.
British authorities on India cease.
lessly contend that there Is no Tea
peril to Great Britain's supremacy ir
the vast Eastern empire as long as Il
Is fearlessly upheld. They say that hest
tation, or vscillation, in that direc-
ton can alone weaken Britannia's hold
on the richest jewel in her imperia

SHOOTING STARS.

The Garden Of Hats.
Though an icy breeze Is prowling,
Here's another sign Of Spring,
And, beneath q sky so scowling,
Hats are tossed into the ring.
High silk hats that seem ofdcial;
Headgear somberly judicial;
Derby hats and broad-brimmed roofing;
Outdoor caps with interpreting;
Hats, each dainty as a sonnet,
And perhaps an old gray bonnet.
Mongst the buds that struggle daily
Hats are poisoning most gayly.

DANDELION DAYS. Henry william

A little book, Just a story, too, that

BY this time, however, you know that
Henry Williamson is, perhaps above all
other story writer's now at work, so much
at one with nature-with the trees, the
fields, the sky and the soil; with the
live things roundabout. knowing all
these, feeling them, translating their
moods into his own, his moods into

sons beautiful work is to enter into the
great natural world in understanding OF
It, in complete sympathy with 1t. SO
we follow along with this tender record
of childhood and youth in the very
language Of the other growing things,
the trees and the grass; In q true feel
ing for them; just such a feeling as the
author himself possesses toward the
form Of Me-animal, plant, soil, every
whatnot Of the earth'S appearance and
performance. A study Of youth that
bears no slightest resemblance to the
common scholastic, pedagogic output on
the theme of adolescence. On the other
hand, it seems right for 1t to take .
place under the protection and patron

 That's one chapter in Wolverine gridiron annals.
 This year may see contrasting picture.
 For sons of Yost and Heston, both with their fathers names, face a tough battle to rate a place on the 1880 Wolverine eleven.
 It is only of historical importance that from 1901 to 1904, with Heston plunging Hike a bull calf" to all- America recognition. and Yost be- ginning his long coaching career in Michigan athletics, the Wolverines scored 2,s4s points while holding their opponents to 40. What matters is whether Billy Heston, Jr, has overcome defects ir his defensive play, and young Yos1 can retain his skill as a deadly tack Ter in Big Ten competition.
 Both of these second generation performers are halfbacks. Billy
 Heston, Jr., was member of the squad last year. He showed up bril- liantly in offensive play, but was weak in stopping opposition drives.
 Young Yost took part in some scrinlmages, but was ineligible for competition. He transferred at the beginning of the year from the Uni versity of North Carolina, where he spent his freshman year. In the scrimmages young Yost dis ! played uncanny ability in diagnosing forward pass plays, and proved him. self a fine tackler.
 Heston, Jr.. has the greater speed of the two, but young Yost has built himself up into strappine six footer of about TO pounds.
 In spring football Heston some what improved his defensive play and displayed kicking ability. whicl may help in the stern battle for { place in Michigan's starting back fields.

'UPSETS CONTINUE
 IN TENNIS PLAY None of Remaining Stars Seem
 Safe in Tournament

Forest Hills, N. Y, Sept. Pl-An upset a day seems to be the toll of the national tennis singles cham pionship tournament and leading favorites today were wondering who was going to be next.
 With Jean Borotra of France and George Lott of Chicago already out of the tournament, no one seemed safe. Both went out at the hands of opponents they were heavily fav- ored to defeat.
 Perhaps even more surprising than the downfall of Borotra before Berkeley Bell on Saturday was the exit of Lott before Richard N. Williams yesterday. Lott met his Waterloo in his first match of the tournament after drawing first round bye.
 Bill Tilden seemed fairly proof against a surprise defeat today as he was drawn against Ed Feible- man, q New York player who has never been able to give him much trouble.
 Ellsworth Vines of Pasadena fig ured to need all his steadiness of stroking against Lyttleton Rogers of Ireland. Johnny Van Ryn was heavily favored today over Keith Gledhill but Frederick Perry, one of the leading English invaders, faced a dangerous opponent in Ed die Jacobs of Baltimore.

CHICAGO MEETS ROBINS
 AS CARDS FACE GIANTS
Four Leading Teams in National League Pennant Race Engage in Opening Skirmishes in Final East-West Series Today - St. Louis Team Two and Half Games Behind Cubs---Brooklyn in Third and New
 York in Fourth-Flatbush Crew Wins Two Games.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 An atmosphere of a worlds cham pionship hung over New York today as the four leading contenders for the National league pennant pre- pared for the opening skirmishes in the final east-west series with the pace setting Chicago Cubs meeting the Brooklyn Robins at Ebbets' field and the rising St. Louis Cardi- nals playing the New York Giants.
 The Cubs were leading the field by two and one-half games. with the Cardinals in runner-up position. holding a full game advantage over the Robins and a game and a half over the Giants.
 The Robins threw the pennant scramble into even more of a tur- moil yesterday, when they won the only games played in either of the major leagues, defeating the Phillies 8 to and II to 4. The double vic tory sent Brooklyn into undisputed possession of third place.
 Ray Moss pitching in the first game was the highspot Of the two games. He held the slugging Phil lies to four hits, three of which were singles by Rensa and the fourth, a home run by Hurst. The circuit clout was offset, however, by similar hits by Bissonette and Frederick. A five run rally in the fifth, during which Hansen was sent to the show CTS and Phillips was treated almost as rough, spelled victory for the Robins.
 The second battle was close con- test until the seventh. when the Robins again let loose with their big guns, scoring six runs and driving Willoughby from the mound. Mean while Jumbo Elliott was breezing along but he too weakened in the same frame and Hollis Thurston was sent to the rescue after the Phillics had counted twice.
