 Popular Run in Spain

Madrid. Sept. P-Old silent films. made and shown in the United States ten years ago and in some cases more, are having quite a run in Spain this summer.
 The programs of most of the movie theaters here just now are made up of reels that Hollywood ground out long before the talkie era. This is to fill the gap until a sufficient supply Of Spanish-lan guage talkies can be producted whether in the United States or in Spain itself, to give a seady run or talkie programs to the Spanish theaters equipped for them.

IILDEN GIVES VIEWS
Tennis Veteran Believes Davis Cup Team Should be Sent to Europe for Two Months Stay.

Philadelphia, Sept. (UP)-Wil- liam T. Tilden IL, believes it would be good policy to sent the American Davis Cup challenge team to France next year at least two months before the matches.
 In radio interview over station WILT last night, Tilden declared that lack of acclimitization had much to do with the failure Of the Americans in the challenge round in France this year.
 Send Americas tennis players for the challenge round to France at least two months before the next match for the Davis cup" Tilden said.

With the second round of the city baseball series about to open up with the Sacred Hearts meeting the Burritts next Sunday afternoon at Willow Prook park. the three man. agers of the teams involved. the Burritts, Sacred Hearts and Holy Cross, should get together and agree on lists of players who will be eligi- ble to take part in the games.
 To us and to many others, the game last Sunday between the so- called Sacred Hearts and the so- called Holy Cross Aeams, vas a joke because of the fact that numbers of ringers" were on the teams and they formed only the skeleton of the original baseball clubs.
 If the three managers should get together and arrange for eligibility rules in the series. then the real championship of the city could be decided AS it is. ringing in outside players is not only taking away the interest in the series itself, but it is  also robbing the teams of what little money they might have after the playoff is all over.
 The managers should arrange a meeting on this matter because, after all, it is for their own good and the good of their team players. We feel that if we were a member of any of these teams during the season and then were dumped in the playoff series for some other more-a -adver- tised star, we should quit the team for good and all. However, this isn't being done, apparently.

The BUDGET Message


The federal treasury, for the first time in eleven
years. will have deficit at the end Of the fiscal year
July 1.
1t will be necessary to abandon the per cent re-
duction on income taxes applied to 1929 income pay
able this calendar year.
The budget recommended by the President calls
for expenditure next year of s21l,OOOo0O more than
during the current year.
Federal revenues this year are expected to be more
than s4OOOOO,OOO less than had been anticipated
These are outstanding facts in the Presidents
budget message to congress.
The national purse like those of individuals, has
felt the effects of depression. The President explains
it this way: This development (dehciD primarily
is due to the depressed condition not only in this
country but in the whole world accentuated by the
drought, and on the other hand, to the necessary
measures of the government to increase employment,
and the increases of allowances to various services
for veterans
It is unfortunate that there must be a tax in
crease in time of depression, which inevitably will
have tendency to retard recovery. But it is diff
cult to see how the President could avoid it.
The restoration of the tax will do more than
reimburse the schedules that formerly in effect
There will be no new levies at least for the time be-
ing and the President is hopeful that the treasury
may be able to extrcate itself business recovery
proceeds.
He wisely recommends against interference with
statutory requirements for retirement of the public
debt. which now take some S44O0OOOO0 year, al
though the debt retirement will be retarded because
current funds and other revenues which have been
devoted to it will be diverted.
The task Of balancing the budget as the President
points out is made difficult by the necessity for
larger appropriations for public works to increase
employment, and to provide for drought relief
It is noteworthy that increases anticipated for
the next fiscal year include $GOOOO00o for the fed
eraI farm board S1OOOOOO0 for veterans relief and
s5I,COOO00 for road building.
Tax refunds at last have begun to decline and
next year should be $92OOONOO less
The President is optimistic for the future and
foresees small surplus at the end OF the next fiscal
year. He believes the deficit be met by reducing
balances as they existed at the beginning of the year.
and if necessary, by temporary borrowings by the
treasury.
TAXPAYERS will hope that his optimism is well
founded for the country wants and must have bal
anced budget Further, there is reason for concern
at the continually increasing amount of federal ex-
penditures which have been growing despite all the
talk about economy, and now absorb perhaps one
twentieth of our national income.
The situation is not alarming, and with good for
tune hopes for next year will be realized The deficit,
as a matter of fact is not relatively large share
of our total outgo.
But it will be necessary for congress to use all
possible caution in voting funds where the most
good will result.

Hard-BOiIed MIR. Brown

Two curious phrases stand out in the annual re-
mort of Postmaster General Brown, made to Presl-
dent Hoover this morning.
Speaking of his determination to increase postal
revenues to wipe out the deficit caused by other than
rst-class mall he says THE only practical solution
appears to be an increase in the rate of frst-cass
mail. where the government has monopoly and
therefore would run no risk of driving business to
competitors"
In other words, you people who write letters it
is unfortunate for you if rates are raised but there
is nothing you can do about it.
The other somewhat startling line reads
an order issued on April g. providing that
messengers should be required to provide themselves
with uniforms at their expense WILL 1t is be-
neved. reduce to considerable extent the turnover
in the personnel A messenger who has sum OF
money invested in uniform will be more likely to
stick to his job than one who does not have any
capital invested"

quality vie with one another. Let the semi-profes-
sona suggers go after each other. Let the institu
tons with decent academic standards fight it out
among themselves.
Then we would have fair competition and some
thing approaching real sport For those who like
it, we would provide bigger and better slugging. At
the same time an educational institution would not
feel humiliated by having its team smothered under
the score rolled up by eleven tough guys.
The president of reputable university no longer
would be criticised because he not turn out a
football team which will cope with corps of ex-
puglists wrestlers and rveters. The faculty would
not be pestered ii it wished to drop dumb half back.
But the real solution lies in professional foot
ball. Seasonal choices and customs would enable
professional teams to use the baseball parks. They
could draft the best college players upon graduation,
as they do in baseball.
Then we could swarm with coonskin coats
and TASKS into the great metropolitan parks and
stadiums and enjoy ourselves without gravely threat
ening higher education in America. And college
football could continue as fresh spontaneous type
of sport such as college basketball is today
The American college and university not serve
logically as the instrument of commercialized sport
however absorbing and remunerative the latter may
be. 1t has different function to play in the
national life

Nancy AStOr HereSy

|T ADY ASTOR's heresy, accord
- ing to the code Of Virginia, lay
in the oStentatious manner in which
she refused the profered cup.
Surely all Langhornes dead and
gone must have stirred slightly be-
meath the sod when they heard
about it.
Your Virginia planter did not in
sist upon each guest drinking with
him after the manner of a man in
mining camp. but any unfortu-
nate abstainer was supposed to couch
his refusal in low and quiet voice
so his transgression should not come
to the ears of other guests and i'm
pede their merriment.
Nancy Aston could have her glass
of water in old Virginia if that was
her curious taste, but surely no host
would have been pleased to have a
visitor f1aunt her eccentricity in the
face of the assembled ladies and
gentlemen.

They Just Produce

A S Sir Henry Deterding says, the
N menace of Soviet Russia does
not consist in such products as she
may dump on the general market,
but in the fact that she has made
it impossible for her people to get
what they need and what they
naturally would consume.
The "f1ve-year plan" about which
we have heard so much, and which
many people view with alarm be-
cause of the relatively cheap oil,
grain, timber, manganese and other
commodities it may produce, rests
on minimum of food, clothing and
shelter for 15O,000,000 Russians.
Soviet strategy is based on the
idea of converting these 150,000,000
Russians into producers, not con-
sumers. Every atom of surplus is
designed, not to increase home COM
fort, but for export.
You can take figures and prove
that Russian trade is growing, not
only on the export, but on the i'm
port end.
1t is not growing in such way,
however. as to increase the buying
power of the Russian people.
They virtually have been removed
from the world market as con-
Sumers.

Questions and
Answers

1t is possible for a baseball team
to make one double, two singles and
three triples asid steal two bases in
single inning without scoring a
run?
An explanation of how it can be
done follows: First batter triples,
and is out trying to stretch it; Sec
ond batter also triples, and is put
out attempting to steal home; third
batter doubles, fourth batter gets an
infield single on which the runner
on second fails to advance; runners
on first and second pull a double
steal; fifth batter scratches an in
field single, filling the bases; sixth
batter triples, but runner on third
suffers a stroke before reaching
home and while the succeeding run
nerS can pass third base, they can
not pass the fallen runner, so no
runs are scored.

Universe Makers
BERNARD SHAW

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW. in
~ recent radio broadcast, dis
cussed the subject of Universe
Makers" classifying the great Al
bert Einstein as the latest of the
line.
Much of the work which present
day astronomers are doing in the
field of universe study is predicted
upon Einstein's theory of RELATIVELY.
1t is beginning to look, however,
as though the universe did not fit
exactly the theory of structure
which Einstein himself deduces from
his theory, but modification which
has been worked out by the Dutch
mathematician, De Sitter.
1t is interesting to see how mans
vision has grown with the progress
of science. 1t is a complete answer
to the alarmist who sees the decay
of creative imagination as a result
OF the march of scientific knowledge.
A few of the early Greeks thought
the earth revolved around the sun.
but until the time of Copernicus the
world in general believed that the
earth was at the center of the uni
verse.
There was no general appreciation
of the size of the universe. Some
Greeks speculated upon the num-
Der of days which it would take for
an anvil to fall from the stars to
the earth.
The idea of the structure of the
universe which was held prior to
Copernicus was known as the Ptole-
maic theory, because it received
much of its development at the
hands of the astronomer, Ptolemy.

Picskin or Sheepskin?

We hardly would put Jack Dempsey and Benny
Leonard in a ring and call it sport. Nor would we
match UP the Philadelphia Athletics against a bush
league team and expect to fill baseball parks. Bobby
Jones hardly would feel called upon to face the cham
pion of Podunk We would not put Gallant Fox up
against plowhorse.
But this is exactly what we do in college football
and still continue to get excited about it. Year after
year the same teams play games which run around
$780, if not even more lopsded. Nowhere outside OF
college football would such disparity of strength be
tolerated.
The explanation of such one-sided competition is
patent to all conversant with methods now prevail
ing Teams representing institutions of altogether
different intellectual standards, scouting procedure
and training methods face each other in the annual
tournament of Drawn
On the one side we may have institution of
higher learning which employs several highly, paid
ecouts who scour the preparatory schools in search
of the best players and offer them strong financial
Inducements to enter the college university they
represent. In some they may even recruit ex-
boilermakers. chiropractors and truck drivers.
Academic standards may be lamentaby low or
hardly worthy of the very name. The whole status
of the college may depend upon the success of its
football team No successful player would be dropped
from the institution except for high crime and mis-
demeanor. The coach may receive up to $4,000
year, far more than the president.
Opposing the football team of such institutions
frequently find the eleven of college that employs
no scouts. uses graduate coach paid no more than
the best professors has fine academic standards which
it enforces vigorously athletes and nonathletes
alike and is more interested in commencement day
than in the annual gadatorial contest with its ira
ditional enemy.
To pit two such elevens against each other is
wholly equivalent to matching Gene Tunney and AL
Singer.
Certainly step toward cleaning up the adj
mtted mess Of college football would be the estab-
lishment of we-defned classes or groups, somewhat
comparable to those already existing in professional
baseball.
Let institutions of comparable size and academic
