Bring Them in Dead or Alive :: By Claude Bowers

No one would charge Gov.
Albert c. Ritchie. of Mary
land, of being radical.
He is properly placed among
the conservatives. But his IS
the conservatism of common
sense, and he has just given
some sound advice to indus
try in an address before the
Virginia Bar Association.
He makes the point on
which we have hammered in
this column: that if we finally
emerge from the present de-
preston thout having
adopted measures to mini
mize the suffering from fu-
ture panics, it will be proof
that we are bankrupt in con-
structive action.
Urges Capitalists to
Insure Unemployed
He calls upon the great cap
tains of industry to devise a
plan of their own for unel11-
ployment insurance and
warns them that if. they fail
to act the Government will
step in and act. He says:
"There is such a thing as
economic or social justice,
and this demands that indus
try which benefits from labor
in days of prosperity should
make some adequate provision
for that same labor in days
of adversely. If industry will
not fulfill this social obliga-
ton, then 1 predict that gov
ernment is going to step in
and take the remedy in its
own hands,"

the unfortunates we help.
Stupid. shiftless things-what a
mess they've made of their
lives! But, on the other hand
how comfortable it is to think
of our own superior wisdom
and strength. And what a
nice, exciting, bossy time we're
going to have, fixing them over
to suit our notion.
For a while all goes well.
Then presently something hap
pens. Maybe We get fed up
with the other fellow. Maybe
he gets fed up with us. In
either case the big act flops.
And forthwith we blow up.

said That's all the thanks

Getting a Thrill
But the plain truth is that
we weren't half as much inter-
ested in helping him as we
were in handing ourselves a
thrill. And now we're mad be-
cause we couldn't have our own
way and run his life for him.
But we have no right to run
the other fellows life for him,
even though we may be in
finitely wiser and more capable
than he. Each man must grow
according to his own nature.
Each man must learn through
his own experience. And often
our mistakes are as necessary
for our growth as our successes.
We can and we should offer
help when help is needed. But
we have no right to demand
a mortgage on the other fel-
lows soul in return for that
help.
If you can't undertake ser
vice with that understanding,
don't try to serve. Take up
tap dancing instead.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

Service" our most popular
goth century slogan.
What lovely things we say
about it and how mad we
get when the lovely things
don't come true,
Look at all we did for those
BUNS" we rave, and what good
did it do? They're right back
where they were before"
But were we really doing
things for those buns" ...or
we're we doing them for our
selves, to crafty our own ego
and our will-to-power?
Sometimes, OF course, service
is really disinterested. Some
times we do things from sheer
love of decency and pity for
our unfortunate fellow man.
And when such motives lie be-
hind our service, Virtue is it's
own reward" Regardless of
what the other fellow may do
and he usually does plenty
we have the warming assurance
that we have acted as Regular
Eggs. we expect no gratitude.
We are not insulted if our good
gifts are wasted and our ex-
cellent advice sighted. Such
are the perils of philanthropy,
but the game is worth the
price. j
Kidding Ourselves
Yes, sometimes Service is as
fine as that. But many a time
it isn't!
It's so easy to kid ourselves
into thinking we are Being Big
hearted. that we are doing
it all for the other fellows
sake. that we don't want any
praise or publicity. And all
the time we're getting a big
bang out of BATTLING FOR

fruit Of prohibition in that it
has made crime lucrative.
Police Face a
Huge Task
We now have a highly or
ganized, highly financed crimi-

money involved, it may be
doubted if we can ever get
rid of the gunmen and gang
warfare so long as the cause
remains.
But relentless war must be
waged henceforth upon these
gangsters.
And that war has been de-
clared by Mayor Walker and
Commissioner Mulrooney.
The commissioner tells the
police:
"If you should meet them
Cthe child murderers) have no
hesitation in giving it to them
and give it to them above the
waistline. And I want to as
sure you with all earneStneSs

And Mayor Walker tells the

bring them back dead or alive"
There is no reason why the
police should show any con-
sideration for these savages.

Bowling Fool Wise Lad
WASTES NEITHER TIME NOR HIS COIN.


THEY call him 1.-THE Bowling
Fool" because he shoots for
hours at a time and ever 50
often with sensational effect,
but Burt Parsons isn't foolish.
He's an ambitious and increas-
ingly successful young business man.
Parsons bowling, quantity and
quality, was the subject of discus
sion the other day at the Columbia.
He took part, but only to answer
questions, and these modestly.
How much does bowling cost
you?" was one query and the reply,
considering that Parsons rolls prob
ably twice as much as any other
person in Washington and many
times as much as most, was a sur
prise.
Nothing he said, I'm ahead"
When He Got Hot.
Managers Of bowling plants say
Parsons is the best customer they
have. He rolls 40 or so games at a
clip, frequently having no opponent
at the start, but invariably finishing
with from four to half dozen to the
managers delight. It's all outgo when
Burt rolls alone, but in the low-men-
pay contests-invariably they are
with topnotch bowlers-he is among
the losers an average of once in flve
games. This has been observed by
others than Parsons. In one in
stance he put together strings Of
160 144 and 203 for the most re-
markable 3-game hardwood duck
pin score ever rolled-507-and
tackled on 15S and lis for 5-game
total of $50 for another record.
ST suppose some people think I'm
a bit cracked or just a plain time
waster and spendthrift," Parsons
smiled, but the truth is I've been
fortunate IN having a hobby dove
tail with a job. I'm a salesman,
" know"-fron an overcoat pocket
he produced an assortment OF PAM
phlets and tossed them on desk,
convenient to the curious, and con-
tinued-"and bowling puts me in
touch with many people. The pub
licity given some of the scores that
a chap who bowls as much as do
naturally would get has given me a
sort of general introduction about
town and made it easier to approach
prospects.
Prizes No Object.
''I have no set working hours-sen
more at night than during the day
and the time spent bowling don't
count as wasted, in any sense.
LAS for the expense of bowling,
this Is more than taken care of by
the income from 1t, though don't
make prize winning an object"
(This season Parsons has won two
$50 suits, SO hat, $50 in cash in
one tournament. $25 each in three
others, a number Of minor cash
prizes and sundry other awards. He
has two bureau drawers packed with
shirts. During the Christmas holi-
days he was burdened with gallons
Of ice cream and enough cake to
