sured Of the Schmeling- -Stribling
bout to open it's new stadium, with
a seating capacity of 100000, which
will be increased to provide 10000

claim of his sport about him. The

No write-up of sports would be
complete without mentioning the
tragic death of Knute ROckne, mir
acle coach of Notre Dame, whose
record. SO far as we know, has nev-
or been eXcelled. While the news
papers have been filled with COL

amiss to call attention to the fact
that in his thirteen years at Notre

Rockne had a wonderful influ-
ence with the youngsters he han
died and, while the writer never
met him personally, it is easy to
understand his influence. He was
man of strong convictions and clean
character, a forceful personality, a
man who could inspire boys to go
cut and do things for the joy OF
doing them. He was generally re-
cognized as the best coach in the
nation and his system had been
widely copied all over the land.

In che early consideration Of this

has been entertained and finally adopt

Eleven Hours Across the Continent

Maj. James Doolittle, late of the
United States Army, in which he was
ranked as one of its leading pilots, must
have read the news Of the Englishman
who did 405 miles an hour the other
day in his Schneider Cup plane.
Whether he did or not, however, makes
no difference because Jimmy" was all
set to do little record breaking him
self And he did it to the queens
taste, incidentally adding a matter of
ten thousand dollars to the family
eXeneqCer.
In his new secretly built siX-hundred-
horsepower ship Doolittle set out yes
terday from Burbank, Calf. At the
end Of the day he had flown to New
York, and then, because he wanted to
be with his family as quickly as pos
sible, he had casually flown from there
to Cleveland and then on to st. Louis.
He covered 1882 miles during this
record-smashing performance at the
rate of four miles a minute or 240
miles an hour. He had crossed the
continent in eleven hours and sixteen
minutes. cutting more than an hour

SO captured the first prize at the Ma
tional Air Races at Cleveland.

Commenting on the masculine OBJ
server who found the new hat associated
with the names of Maid Marian, Rosa
lind and Peter Pan, the Providence
Journal replies: well, well. We learn
something new every day! We always
liked the way Maid Marian looked in
her Robin Hood costume. but if she
had worn a Eugene hat We are sure
we should have disliked her intensely
And we can't remember a hat of this
description on Rosalind or any one else
in the Forest of Arden. AS for the
notion Of Eugene hat on Peter Pan
1t is simply ridiculous. If Maud Adams
had been topped off in any such fashion
when she asked If We believed in
fairies We should have hollered right
out: No, nor in anything else"
Meeting the criticism that "recru-
descence of the lady styles will have
disastrous effect upon the compare
lively new-found democracy of femi-
ninity,' the Danbury Evening News
comments: eff the style arbiters de-.
cree that there shall be distinction
between dress for the idle and that
possible in working hours, it will make
no difference at all in social standings
or in democratic tendencies. During
working hours well-to-do girls and
women of impeccable social standing
will dress in working class costume If
this is necessary; they will wear the
fluffy ruff1es after work is done-as
their less well-to-do sisters will do,
too"

William Kirkpatrick, the st. Louis Times
tells Of the child of the union that
combined the graces and tradition and

and vigor and hopes of another world.
The Times remarks that Napoleon the
Third was happy captive of that child
grown to womanhood, and concludes:
Fashions were set as the Empress Willed.
If she mounted horse so. that was the
way it should be done. The furbelows
and fripperies of the empires women

small and low and feathered to suit an
oval face-somewhat higher. with fiat

A Reginning.

Within the fortnight that ends this
evening much local history relating to
the Police Department has been writ
ten. A prisoner in the first precinct
has claimed that he was beaten by
policemen. The District Commissioners
have sought and obtained from Presi-
dent Hoover his permission for the De-
partment Of Justice to investigate the
use Of brutality by members OF the
police force. Evidence has been gath
cred by Federal agents, presented to the
grand jury. and five policemen have
been indicted, arraigned, have given their
bonds and are awaiting trial for alleged
participation in administering the third
degree in four separate cases. Good
work, and quick work!
Meanwhile, the investigation con-
tinues. Only one of the city's fourteen
precincts has so far become involved.
Additional operators of the Department
Of Justice have swelled the force Of
Federal agents now obtaining evidence
in more than score of new cases in
which prisoners have alleged that they
were subjected to beating and other
unlawful methods of loosening their
tongues.
It is a good beginning. This investi-
CATION Is to be no flash in the pan"
It is no hysterical effort to catch a few
victims and throw them to the lions to
appease popular indignation. 1t must
not and it will not cease until the

no matter who they are or how high
they stand, who are responsible for
what clearly has been shown to be
evil condition Of affairs.
The community Is indebted to Direc-
tor Hoover of the Bureau of Investiga-
ton and his able assistant. John NJ
Keith, for the remarkable and efficient
dispatch with which the investigation
has been carried through its initial
stages. Their willingness to bring to
bear all available resources, in men and
methods, and their constant presence
on the firing line have demonstrated
the spirit with which they have under
taken q hard job. They took over
cold" case, and more than one red
herring had been drawn across the trail
to lead them into blind alleys. They
have made it q fresh case and their
hands are full. They will not stop until
the last stone has been turned.
To United States Attorney Rover. who
personally has presented the evidence
to the grand jury, will fall the even
more difficult task of carrying through
with the court prosecutions to follow.
The same celebrity that has marked the
investigation and presentation of the
evidence to the grand jury should rule
In bringing the cases into court. The
community is asking quick and deter
mined action, and so far it has been
granted.

major. Each Is the director Of aero
nautics of an oil company, and each Is
backed by rich resources in the build
ing of speedy ships. Both are flyers Of
the first rank and know all the tricks
Of the game. And now that Doolittle
has made his challenge and won the
honors 1t Is not like Hawks to sit
supinely by and allow him to keep
them.
The fight for speed supremacy is q
fine thing for aviation. During the
year he has reigned as master Of cere-
monies in speed circles Hawks trim
little ship has been conceded to be the
fastest commercial plane. While its
maximum speed has never become known,
the captain has frequently hit the 22o-
mile -an-hour pace on some Of his
record breaking performances. This
speed was q big jump from the fastest
plane in the same category year or
two ago. Doolittle's ship appears to
be even faster, as he rode the winds
yesterday at 24o miles an hour and
better. That marks another advance in
design and construction.
So with these two premier pilots hard
at work it may not be long before the
United States takes its rightful place
in the world of aviation. 1t has long
way to CO. especially in the matter of
speed but from all signs a small group
of men. Hawks, Doolittle. Williams,
Bayles and others. are on their way to
great accomplishments.

The man who can never please his
friends is most unfortunate.
Familiarity breeds contempt, with
them.
He may be q success in the business
world. In society he may shine.
Thousands Of human beings who know
only his name look UP to him with
reverence. almost.
But his personal friends constantly
pick on him.
They are forever chasing the defects
of his character, bounding them down
and pointing them out to him.
If he buys a small house, they want
to know why he lives in such a band
box.
If he purchases a big one. they de-
clare heatedly that it is much too
large for him.
Everything he is, has and does is
wrong, according to these dear de-
tenders OF his personality.
If he would listen to them it is al
ways and only fer his own good that
they find so much fault
In fact, If he dares listen to them,
they are not finding fault at all, but
are simply laying down the eternal law
in his case.
They are wisdom. incarnate, and he
is vast ignorance.
Were it not for them, the poor fell
low would be sunk into huge pit of
ignorance and despair.
With them to guide him, there is
yet some small hope for him.
It is small, however, for the fellow
is very stubborn. Somehow, and al
most maliciously, he resists the con-
slant criticisms which they place before
him.
He should welcome their efforts, and
not assume the attitude Of Job, who
sneered so effectively:

wisdom will die with you'll"

unfortunate fellow is a victim, rather

Out Of a certain kindness Of heart
he permits himself to be badgered, as 1t

If he resents, he does so secretly,
when he should do it openly.
Those who worry him, as a hound

they do out of envy of great Caesar.

One is not supposed to get angry at

adopt the attitude of good humor.
If one could believe them, they are

The Hall of Archives.

In the breaking of ground today at
the old Center Market site for the
Archives Building the Government be-
gins work upon a project that has been
long proposed, often brought to the
point of actual planning, to be then
dropped and only now, in connection
with the great development Of public
construction, assuming form. The need
Of central housing for the records of
the Federal administration has been
keenly felt for many years. 1t has been
admitted by everybody concerned that
some day such an addition must be
made to the public equipment for the
proper transaction of business. Mean
while the records of the Government,
the non-current files, the priceless
though seldom consulted documents of
decades of departmental operations,
have been kept in confusion, in peril
Of destruction and with little order of
arrangement and minimum of con-
venience for consultation when-need has
arisen. 1t has been often said that no
well managed business would keep its
files with as little care for their preser-
walton and their use upon occasion.
A wealth of material is now housed
In departmental store rooms. in base
nnents, in corridors, in attics-if 1t can
be said that Government buildings
have such things as attics. 1t is in
the main poorly classified and all but
inaccessible because OF the congestion
and the confusion. In one of the busiest
of the bureaus of the Treasury docu-
ments relating to cases less than ten
years old, cases that are still subject to
reopening and reconsideration, are be-
yond practical reach, and dead line"
must be drawn against them on that
account.
In theory a Government lease" Is
never actually closed. Claims may be
revived long after adjudication, even by
the highest courts, at least through at
temptS that have no warrant in law.
Second and even third generations Of
descendants of original creditors of the
Government have been known to bring
forward their claims. despite the seal
ing Of the documentary records. The
statute of limitations, in practical fact,
does not run to shield the Government
from such perennial attentions.
Apart, however, from the matter of
administrative bookkeeping" and legal
adjustments there is reason for the
reservation of these files" They

related work for six days in each year
under a schedule arranged by the
government. For the proper establish

New Class Of Tourists
Found in Mexico Today.
FL Universal, Mexico City-A few
years ago Mexico was an unknown coun-
try, land about which few Americans
had ever heard. despite the fact that
such intrepid visitors as came were gen.
orally so welcomed and well treated that
one of our famous writers once said
that Mexico is a mother to all for
eigners, but only stepmother to her
own children!'
But, in 1910. when Americans and
others were beginning to come to Mex
leo in larger numbers. the revolutionary
era began in the explosion at Puebla,
and there was general upheaval
through all Mexico that lasted nearly
two decades
succession Of deplorable events adj
NeIL!ScQ MEXICO as she I1dQ never D6en
advertised before, and it was logical
that for long time foreigners refrained
from coming here except on some COM
pulsion of health or business. It was
feared that the sparks of revolution at
any time might start new conflagra-
ton.
Most Of those who came back to
Mexico after some vestige of order was
restored were not so much tourists or
visitors, as adventureres, seeking ex-
element and romantic sensations. But
they were disappointed, for Mexico has
never offered any real dangers to for
eigners. 1t is said that both federals
and insurgents, in their conflicts, always
respected the citizens of other coun-
tries and their flags. In fact, there
is much basis for the assertion that
battles were often stopped to permit
neutralS and non combatantS to depart
from the zone of fire.
As soon as the mil6nesS toward for
eigners became generally known, an
other class of tourists has begun to pour
into the country, particularly with the
construction of better highways. These
people come for pleasure, profit an
health. and are of far better typ
than those who entered when turmoi'
and distraction ruled the land, in tbs
hope Of improving their private FOX
tunes. People who formerly went t.
Europe for their vacations now CONS
to Mexico, and find much more to in.
terest and benefit them than they ever
found abroad.

Reforestation to Help
Texas Cotton Farmers

From the San Antonio Evening News.
The Texas Forest Service is supervis-
ing the restoration of some 100000
acres of cut-over timber lands in the
East Texas pine woods. That ambitious
project will help the balanced farming
movement in a section devoted largely
to cotton growing. Landowners in those
parts, who are cooperating in this en-
terprise, would profit still further II
they would turn F. which have pro-
duced cotton year after year for gen.
Grafton to growing pines. Timber Is
about the only paying crop for worm
out farm; 1t yields return i'll itself
and also stops erosion and builds up the
soil.
Cotton growers have heard that fact
repeatedly from foresters, agricultural
extension workers. county agents and
other experts. Many hesitate to take
such advice because they do not like
the idea of waiting 20 or 80 years for
a harvest. But the tracts recommended
for that purpose now are being cult
waited at a loss. so If the farmers did
nothing but quit working the land they
would be gamers. The reforestation
activity should not be confined to the
pine belt; every Texas farmer should
grow timber as q regular crop. Even
the small tract In the market-garders
ing region should have its wood lot :

Close students Of world conditions
refer to a psychological factor as DOM
mating the crisis; which does not assist
in simplifying the matter. Psychology
as science is declared by those who
have given it studious attention to be
still in its infancy. 1t may, therefore,
be contemplated at times as perhaps
analogous to juvenile prattle. which does
not hesitate to interrupt the wisdom Of
the plain people.
