IN ENDEAVORING to line up a
play-off series in the alley Basket
bali league, Prexy Spitz Clarke Is
coming III for a bit Of undeServed
criticism. Some players seem 10
think that he Is deliberately en-
d~eavoring to take games from their
home city and park them In some
favored spot. Such is not the case.
The purpose Of this play-off Is TO
raise money to take two teams
to the state amateur tournament
TO be conducted at Fort Worth late
IN March. With the interest Of
these two teams at heart. Clarke
wants to hold the games where
they will attract maximum patron
age-where the crowds can be ade-
uuately handled. All with the idea
of raising as much money as pos
sible 10 carry the teams 70 Fort
Worth. No one knows what two
teams will. win out, SO its an even
break all around.
ALL THINGS considered. the San
Benito school gymnasium Is the
best in the Valley. The playing
court Is good and the building will
adequately care for a crowd Of $50
fans with all comfortably situated.
Edinburg has an excellent gymna-
SUM, but Is unable to care for a
large gathering OF fans. The same
IS true Of the Harlingen gymnasi-

Industrial ineptitude. He announces
that the policy OF the Iron fist" toward
members of the old bourgeois 'indus-
trial intelligentsia," that Is, pre-bolshe-
visit engineers and skilled workers. is to
be abandoned. These men, hitherto
outcasts under the Soviet regime, will
not only be welcomed back into the
working fold. but inducements to get
them to come back are to be held out.
These whirls OF the Communist
kaleidoscope can have many explana-
lions, and correspondingly varying in
terpretations are bound to be placed
upon them. From this remote angle OF
observation they seem only to indicate
that Stain is conscious that all Is not
going for the best in the working out
Of the 1--WE year plan and that drastic
reforms have become necessary. To
whatever extent this may be true, there
is no blinking the portcntous meaning
OF the change of Communistic heart
revealed by the tardy realization that
proletarian equality" has Its limits
when It comes to a question of engines,
lathes, dynamos and the other elements
of a mechanical civilization which call
for something more than the grease OF

FROM the Toronto Daily Star.

From the Toronto Daily star.
something unusual in the way Of
church activities is being tried by Rev.
y. richmond Craig of Grace United
Church, Winnipeg, one of the outstand-
ing churches of Western Canada. It
Is the operation Of business known as
GOODWILL Industries" which collects
OLD and diSused articles and recondi-
TONS or transforms them so that they
become salable again. The business
converts junk into jobs and waste into
wages, as 1t promoters proudly say.
During the first mouth of operation
the business provided jobs for 80 per-
sons for . total Of 1880 hours Of work
and enabled 100 persons to earn meals
by working. No less than 955 articles
were made over and sold, the purchas-
ers numbering. $40. Three tons of old
paper were collected and sold.
Mr.. Craig made name for himself
as the minister Of a mission church in
the downtown section of Vancouver.
Many were curious as to the success he
would have In historic and cultured
Grace Church, Winnipeg, which is 10
Gated in the business district of that
city and was rapidly declining and be-
coming financially involved when Mr..
Craig was called to the passionate. To-
day Grace Church draws such large
crowds that churches In the residential
districts are complaining that many of
their people are being attracted by its
services. The working classes and also
the well-to-do seem to like the social
gospel that Mr.. Craig breaches and
practices.

Bay State Male Tax
Will Aid Needy Aged

From the Schenectady Gazette.
Massachusetts is taxing all male cit
liens over 20 years of age 81 a year each
for the benefit Of the INDECENT of the
State. This decision was reached after
various methods had been discussed

Court Of 1880. might be assured.
The scheme Is really more for as
sisting than actually pensioning the
aged needy. 1t is a humane measure
tending away from. rather than toward,
charity in the humiliating meaning Of
the word
Not all the needy in Massachusetts,
or in any other State. have even small
investments. So when old age comes
upon them there is little that stands
between them and the almshouse.
That worthy institution still exists
and in most places is we'll filed. More
and more it is being felt that there are
more satisfactory ways Of caring for
the needy than to herd them together
in groups.
1t would be little short of impossible
to provide, even were it wise, such
homes for all who are in some degree
dependent. Helping people to help
themselves is by far the better plan
for all concerned. Assisting them to

have them, and to keep together in
their own families, where there are
families, is the kinder way.
The tax commissioner Of the Bay
State had several different methods of
meeting the situation to propose. One
was a tax on beverages, another was
to tax tobacco. A poll tax for both
men and women was suggested
The difficulty with this last was that
IN the many cases in which women are
non disappearing the tax would have to
be paid by some one else. All these and
other plans were abandoned for the
one which went into effect July l,
when all males over 20 will contribute
this small sum yearly to help secure
the comfort Of those less fortunate
than themselves.
That they should esteem it a privi-
lege Is the reasonable expectation, for
VINO could wish to forego the chance
OF assisting others at sacrifice OF
but cents. the price Of a postage

Insulin's Part Seen
In Curing Diabetes
,e st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

From the St. Louis obe-Democrat.
Comparison Of experiences at the
Philadelphia medical convention this
year showed how well the insulin dis
covery is bearing up under exhaustive
tests.
OF every five persons diagnosed as
having developed diabetes. one died
within a year, quarter of a century
ago, declared DR.. E. p. Joslin Of Bos-
ton, described as having the best set
of diabetic statistics in the world.
At present only l out of 25 so afflicted
dies within year. Theoretically, all
persons with this disease may now
live out their normal span Of life,
but the theoretical assumption, too,
often fails because of non-observance
of requirements.
Insulin, plus proper diet. plus avoid
ance of obesity, Is the formula. The
employment of a visiting nurse in COM
munities to list and call on diabetes,
to see that they follow the approved
regimen, is urged as a means Of pro-
longing many lives. for those with the
disease must learn how to save them
selves, under medical supervision. OF
all the cases Of the kind, Sc per cent
are those of women.
Early conquest of Addison's disease, a
fatal but rather rare malady. charac-
terized by a darkening Of the skin and
first diagnosed about rs years ago, was
predicted at the convention, and
by a gland preparation somewhat after
the analogy of insulin. 1t has long been
known that substances obtained from
the suprarenal glands tended to neu-
tralize the symptoms of the disease.
Ways have now been found OF so re-
filming and concentrating these sub
stances as to effect permanent cures.
The remaining problem is to cheaper
the process so as to bring the remedy.
