Oil Burner Industry
Starts "DriUe" Here

A drive to "place oil burners
in the majority Of Washington
homes" was begun last night at
a mass meeting of the Oil Heat
ing Institute of America.
The campaign, which will be
national in scope, will last for
three months with Washington as
the focal point because of its
strategic location" and more
"salubrious condition of business"
The meeting was attended by
manufacturers, dealers, and sales
men.

More Jobs Created
By Wage Cuts Is
Theory

On the heels OF a statement
by william Green, president Of
the American Federation OF Labor
that wage cuts will limit our
ability to pull up quickly from
this depression" the Alexander
Hamilton Institute points out
that wage cutting in January was
followed by increased employ
ment in February.
Explaining that lower wages
condition lower prices, that lower
prices facilitate greater produc
ton, and that greater produc
ton necessitates more employ
ment, the institutes current bull
letin says:
Gan underlying cause of the
current depression was over
production at the existing level
of prices. The same quantity
of goods at a lower price level
would have represented under
production, which is essential
to the maintenance of demand.
Low prices and high wages
are not compatible unless the
output per worker is relatively
high.
"When the demand depends
upon a reduction in prices at
a more rapid pace than 1t
is possible for the individual
worker to increase his output,
then he is faced with the neceS-
sity of either accepting lower
money wages or suffering from
lack Of work because Of the
curtailment Of the market"

William s. Langford, of New York, the secretary. is making double check by writing to the in- stitutions themselves.
 The committee does not want young players sacrificed to sport" Langford said. Committee mem- bers admit, that pending the out- come of the double Investigation, they are not in a position to say what Is to be done. Return of the 'Teed" kick-off and elimination of the flying wedge on this play have been suggested, but the governing body has withheld comment.
 Complete Investigation.
 While the committees province does not extend beyond college football, it will look into every death, 1t was said. Langford ex- plained however, that his organi- zation had no authority to see that high school, sand lot and other players conform to the commit tees suggestions.
 Tt is possible" Langford said. Even likely, that among the school boy fatalities were some who were playing the game under collegiate rules. It is through an investigation of such cases that we will be able to see whether the game itself was at fault or wheth- CT they were only accidents which might have occurred in any other sport, business or pursuit" Changes If Needed. Langford explained that the present regulations have been in force for many years and have been regarded generally as satis- factory until this year. eff they can be changed" he said, Ito make the game less dangerous, they will be. At the end of this investiga- tion we should be in 8 position to know whether the game as de- signed for college player sound or unsound." AF In the list of this falls fatali- ties, at least six victims were co,- lege players. They were: Cornell. jus Murphy, of Fordham; Cadet Richard B. Sheridan, of West Point; Reuben Gretschow, of Elm hurst college; C.. D. Smith, of Millsaps; James Nicholas, Univer- sity of Alabama and Leon Carey. of Monticello A. and M. College of Arkansas.
 Some Exceptions. Members of the committee said they did not believe the game should be blamed in all of the forty fatalities this year. There is on record the death of an g. year-old boy, who was playing on the street and suffered a fractured skull. In another instance 8 boy carrying a football was hit by a truck. Many of those on the list are sand lot" cases. One died of @ heart attack while running with the ball, and there are cases of infection and blood poisoning.

Dying for Football

Dying for Football
 "Td die for dear oi6 Rutgers" is more than an idle saying this year. At this writing the football death toll has reached 23. That sets a new all-time high that, I believe, has been unequaled at least as far back as 1905. The previous fatality record was 20, established in 1925. The average number of football deaths per sea- son is around 14:
 Broken Necks
 Of the 2S deaths this year, five resulted from broken necks. Four of these five were college players V. Smith, Millsaps; Reuben Get schow, Eimhurst, Til, College, and James Nichols, Alabama Fresh men. And only five of the 23 killed, or who died as the result of gridiron injuries, were college men.
 Other Causes
 There have been deaths from skull fractures, heart failure, cere- bral hemorrhages, spinal injuries, blood poisoning following injuries, reuptured blood vessels and brain concussions. Four of the deaths were sandlot players:
 Another Lassman?
 After a scrimmage in the last period of the Fordham-Bucknell battle, one of the Fordham tackles was unable to continue. He was one of four knocked out during the heat of the conflict. He struggled to his feet, then collapsed. He was removed hastily to hospital.
 Now the player, John Szyman- ski, faces the prospect of 8 life like Al Lassman's, whose injury left him partly paralyzed and who finally died last year trying to save two boys from drowning at a camp near Harrison, Me. Medical men call the injury subluxation of the spine.
 Reply to Critics
 To judge from reports made by D great many investigators, some thing like 80 or 90 per cent of the college and university football play CTS are so mony paid htrelipgs, suffering as little education as pos- sible. in order to earn a living play ing football. Yet. 1t seems that every time @ player Is seriously hurt and the facts about him get some publicity he turns out to be deserving student working his way.
 Thus, John Szymanski. He is the son of Ranaldt Szymanski, foreman in @ hardware factory at New Britain, Conn. Young Szy- manski found employment in the Fordham hospital. He is junior, 20 years old. and taking 2 course leading to a degree of Bachelor or Science, to prepare him for the study of medicine.
 Good Student
 In high school at New Britain John was an all-around athlete. His record in the classroom was distinguished. He received an award for excellence in his studies.
 He went through two seasons at Fordham unscathed. But in the last period of the last game Of the season, the accident occurred which may leave him @ cripple TOT life.
 The reaction I get from things of this sort Is that the college players. the boys who "carry the nod oh the gridiron, should be given every D possible good break. and that tnose disposed to criticize them should be more kindly.
