Personal Regard

Do you permit the opinions
that others have expressed
about you to weaken or disrupt
your opinion of yourself?
In other words, are you not
influenced too greatly by what
people say of you?
Also, is it not apparent to
you that you represent lite Of
what you really are, because
you have tried too hard to meet
a general popular demand?
BY so doing, you have lessened
your regard for yourself and
tried to meet conditions that
are unworthy Of you.
Popular demand stands out
in your mind to the exclusion
of worthwhile effort.
You weaken your ability to
do more serious and valuable
work by trying to appeal to
the shallow public.

Unemployment Is
Grave Problem

Even though a nomination
be made upon the first bal
lot, the convention should at
least abrogate the rule for
future conventions, because
it is undemocratic and is a
constant source of irritation
and a breeder of dissensions.
There is no graver prob
lem before the Congress than
that of unemployment and
the prevention of suffering
among women and children.
The National Government
cannot ignore this human
problem.
In New York city, private
charity, through supreme ex-
ertion, will raise $18,000,OOO
for the. purpose but it is
sheer mockery to assume
that this will be enough.
That is the reason that the
Board of Estimate is being
asked for an appropriation
to meet the actual demands.
1t is asked for $2O,OO0,0O0
which is two million more
than the amount asked by
the Presidents committee.
It is not every city that
can respond to this demand;
or every county and COM
munity; and where it is i'm
possible it is the manifest
duty of the National Gov
ernment to treat a national
problem in a national way.
Thc-e is nothing of partisan
ship in that, and that is
something for Congress to
consider.
The Washington times., 1931-12-10
Problems
Of Humanity

After all, something more
is involved than the preven-
ton of starvation. Women
and children die from ex-
pOsure, too; and in the midst
of the self-satisfaction over
the collection of charity
funds hundreds Of thousands
of women and children are
being evicted from their
homes, set upon the street.
We have often wondered
what becomes of these. Are
they to be fed out in the
wintry rain?
The condition of millions
is beyond the reach of pri-
vate charity; there is work
for the Federal Government
as well.
Whatever is needed, in adj
ditiOn to what private char
ity has contributed and
local communities and gov
ernmental units can afford,
must come from the National
Treasury; it is a National
problem; and this human
misery about us is due, not
to the misdeeds IF local gov
ernmental units, but to the
stupidities of National poll
cies. And the National Gov
ernment cannot stand aside
and ignore its human re-
sponsibilities.
Yes, the serious problems
confronting Congress are not
partisan; they are the prob
lens of humanity; and in
the midst of human misery
most of us are weary of
platitudinous chatter from
high places about "the
American way"

We shall soon know pre-

nonpartisanship means. Of
course the Democrats, having
a mandate from the people,
will act on their own judg-

principles and policies on
which they received their
mandate, but will refrain
from partisan opposition in
the mere spirit of obstruc-

in 1911, have they entered

Many modern man travels
so fast in the pursuit of love

BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. 25. (U.P)-Be-
ing one of those babies who believe
that pitching is go per cent COR Is
it 80 per cent? of winning baseball,
we fail to see how anybody save
close relatives of the players can
name the st. Louis Cardinals to
whip the Philadelphia Athletics in
the world series.
A nice bunch of boys them Card
inals. A sweet bunch of hitters, too.
And probably the scrapingest club
in baseball. But how they can be
expected 10 whip Lefty Grove and
George Earnshaw four times in six
starts, OF four times in seven starts,
is beyond us. And if Connie Mac;
sees fit Cand he probably Wild that's
what the Redbhds are going to have
TO do TO win.
The playing schedule of the series
could not better suit the AS had
Mack been allowed to draw it up
himself. It's right down the AS
alley Grove and EarnshaW, unless
Mack up and pulls an Ehmke, will
pitch the first two games in st.
Louis on Thursday and Friday
When play is resumed in Phila-
delphia on Monday, the two big
'uns will be refreshed by better
than a weekend of rest and ready
to fire away
II Grove and Earnshaw do not
make it four in a row, Mahaffey,
Walbers or Hoyt can step out there
in the fifth game on Wednesday
Then, if the issue still is undivided
the boys will travel back to st.
Louis and reopen the festivities on
Friday Whereupon Grove, idle
since Monday, and Earnshaw, idls
since Tuesday, will be all set to take
another shot at the enemy.
And smart and strong as the
Cardinals are, we doubt their abil-
ity to whip these two men enough
to win the series.
OF course. they may up and
turn the trick. There are the
breaks to consider We agree with
Connie Mack about breaks. 1t is
Mack's contention that team
makes its own breaks, and that a
club will get the breaks if it hustles
from the bell and gives the oppos-
ition no openings.
However, there are breaks that
cannot be prevented, no matter
how well a manager plans his at
tack, no matter how hard a team
bears down. Such break came in
the 1924 world series when Nc
Neeley's easy roller struck a pebble,
bounded over Lendstroms head, and
carried the Giants championship
hopes along with it.

United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


WILLIAMSVILLE, N. Y, Sept
25. U.P)-Two young golfing stars
who never held a national title
were all that stood in the way OF
an international final for the Unit
ed States Women's Golf champion
ship today
Although Miss Virginia Van Vie,
Chicago, and Miss Helen Hicks, of
Hewlett, L. l., never wore laurels
such as the United States Women's S
title Of Mrs. Glenna Collett Ware,
Philadelphia, and the British wom-
ems championship of Miss Endi
Wilson, Motifs, Eng, their presence
in the Semi-finals today is assur-
ance of first rank golf
Miss Van Vie and Mrs. Ware
have met before in the national
tourney, and the Philadelphian has
come through each time with ease.
But this is another year and an
other course. Mrs. Wares reputation
as five times champion makes her
a favorite.
Miss Hicks never has played Miss
Wilson, and the result of their
match is more Of a a.problem.
Except for Miss Wilson, today's
semi finalists were together in the
semi-finals at Los Angeles last year.
In that round, Miss Hicks lost to
Mrs. Ware and 3, while Miss Van
Vie eliminated Mrs. o. S. Hill of
Kansas City 2 and l.. Mrs. Hill
was forced from this tourney in the
first round.

NOW, you know, Bob was raised in
tobacco country. He has worked in two ciga-
rette factories; and have heard him say all of
them are just the same. He says there are lot
of pipes and things like that running through
the roofs of the factories and sometimes they
look different, but that the way cigarettes are
made is all the same.
Bob says all tobaccos receive the same sort
of drying-heat treatment he called it. In one
factory. he says, they may talk about baking
the tobaccos and in another they call it another
name. He says what they actually do is to dry
the tobaccos-r the moisture in them-and
that the machine that they all use is called
Dryer
But when it comes to the quality of tobacco.
that's quite different story, SO Bob says; some
factories use mild, ripe tobacco, while others
think that thick heavy tobacco is good enough.
Bob knows tobacco and he tells me that it takes
good tobacco-mild and ripe-to make ciga-
rette as good as CHESTERFIELD.
You know how it is when piece of fruit
tastes just right-not raw or sharp or too ripe
