This Week.
: A STRONOMERS are urging
L \ amateur observers throughout
the nation to join in the watch for
the LeonidS. the shooting stars
which are scheduled to make their
appearance this week.
Every one ought to watch for this
display of celestial fireworks,
whether he has a technical inter
est in astronomy or not, for 1t
promises to be one of the most bril-
liant Of the century.
If hopes of astronomers are real
lied there will be moments when the
sky will seem covered with a rain
of fire.
Shooting stars are not uncom-
mon. If you watch the sky on a
clear moonless night in any direc-
ton for about ten minutes, you are
fairly certain to see one.
1t looks as though star suddenly
had broken loose and gone flying
across the heavens. If you are
lucky, you may see a large one.
It's trail in the sky may be more
pronounced and may remain visible
for minute or two. Sometimes a
very large one is seen.
1t may move very slowly, even
wabbling in its course, leaving be-
hind an unusual zig-zag trail in
the heavens.
OF course a shooting star is not a
star at all. The stars are all tril-
lions of miles away and compare in
size with our own sun. The tech
nical name of the shooting star is
the meteor.
The meteor is a small bit of
material which has entered the
earth's atmosphere from outer
space. Friction against the air
heats it to incandescence and con-
SumeS it.

Notification of the VoTstedd
Act Means Immediate Re
lief for Taxpayers and Idle
Men.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Modifica-
IN ton of the Volstead act should
not be sidetracked for other and
doubtful measures of relief. The
people Of this country have Endorsed
it by an overwhelming majority. The
opposition has become so weak that
it can do no more than postpone
action for few months. Why stall?
Here is an opportunity to provide
revenue, make work, promote trade
and remove a source of political
corruption, all at the same time BY
what other act could the short ses-
sion of congress accomplish SO
much?
The argument that economic
problems" should be dealt with first
is specious. BY no stretch of the
imagination can tax-free bootlegging
be separated from our economic
problems, or imported hooch from
unemployment.
LOCALIZED beer would have pro-
duced more money for the govern
ment than those nuisance taxes
Also, it would have produced more
work thar the program of subsi-
Gizing big business.
The country needs nothing so
much as revenue and work. 1t can
not go on providing the first with
increased taxes, Or hoping for the
other through complicated, indirect
plans.

DREVENTION Of disease must,

toned, be related to our knowledge
of the way in which infectious dis
ease gains entrance into the body.
In the firSc place, everything pos
sible must be done to see to it that
the germs in the person who is in
fected do not get out and thus get
into contact with other people.
If this could be done in every
case, many infectious diseases prob
ably would disappear.

We Must Be Honest

TINE profits sucked up by the
l. illegal liquor traffic during the
last ten years would go far toward
balancing the federal budget. The
thousands of foreigners now max
ing bad hooch to be smuggled into
this country represent an amount
of labor which would do much to
relieve unemployment.
If the sacrifices we have made
meant anything by way of temper
ance or improved morals, one
would be justified in advocating
their continuance, but they mean
less than nothing.
They mean not only failure to
enforce law, but such reign of
organized defiance as few civilized
nations have known in this century.
They mean an example of Gym
icism which it. will take our chill
dren a generation to live down.
Let's be honest with the Demo-
cratic platform, the result of the
election, and ourselves.

Bring Them Home .

united states marines now in Nicaragua should be
brought home. There never was any legitimate ex-
cuse for their being there
After an earlier withdrawal, President Coolidge
sent them back for the alleged purpose of protecting
American lives and property during revolution when
neither American lives property were in danger.
The occupation a method of state department
dictaton of internal affairs in foreign and indie
pendent country.
After that revolution over the marines re-
manned. The new excuse given by the state depart
ment was that they were needed to train a native
national guard Then the United States troops began
to wage against SANDING, who was trying to free
his country from Yankee rule and who was dubbed
bandit" by the state department.
In this process, the marines were used to bomb
unfortified and unprotected towns.
When the training the national guard excuse wore
out, the state department thought up a new one
This time it was explained that the marines must
stay to supervise the elections.
Why American troops should supervise Nicaragua
elections any more than British or German or Jap
anese elections not explained. No explanation is
possible.
At any rate the Nicaraguan election has been held
putting into the presidency by the way, DR..
Sacasa, against whom Coolidge sent the marines in
the first place.
Admiral Woodward, the American who supervised
the election reports that the ballotng was fair and
freewhich is than be said for several dis
tricts in the United States.
So the time has now come for the United States to
do one of two things. Either the state department
must withdraw the Marines or invent new excuse
for the alien occupation.
We think of many good for with
drawal and none for continued occupation To men
ton only two:
definite American pledge to withdraw is at stake,
and we can not expect Japan and European nations
to keep their pledges unless we keep ours.
With the rest of the world turning against us, we
need to change Latin American hatred and fear of
Imperialism into friendship for the United States

gan to Co. The boys certainly have
shown courage in the maner in which
they have tried but unconsciously they
began to ask themselves If they ever
could win game, and I don't blame
them. BY the time We did meet the
weaker opposition, we were all shot to
pieces And then it was time to meet
Philadelphia. New York and Wash
ington again.
Il can't believe" continued the Bos-
ton owner, that it is good policy to
take the team of as good base ball
city as Boston and arrange a schedule
that will swamp it from the beginning.
1t would have been possible to work
in an East-and-West series.
'.VITHAT did I mean when I said 1t
w might have ruined the race?
I mean that it was plain that
the three most likely contenders were
Philadelphia New York and Washing
ton Now, if one of those teams had
happened to suffer injury to its key
men, with the present schedule, 1t would
have been possible for that club prac
tically to be put out of the running
before the race had much more than
begun.
moreover, Sdlu eIulilll, l1oHi d
standpoint of attendance and show
manship, the more games those teams
had to play with each other late in
the year the better. 1t would drag out
the suspense, which always is very
good thing to do from a box Office
angle.
Il want you to understand" CON-
tinued Quinn, that I have some very
good bail players On my club. The
trouble is, I haven't enough of them,
and in our league they would rather
keep a man on the bench or slip him
into a minor league than strengthen
another club and make the race tighter
It know I have good players" said
Quinn, in conclusion, because they try
to get them away from me, big-heart-
edly offering in exchange veterans they
think are through or youngsters they
think never will amount to too much.
Sometimes they also offer cash. never
have seen check yet that could field
or hit. What have been looking for

for the fun of it. But to officials of
the French Tennis Federation, who re-
garded his match with Sidney B. Wood,
jr., yesterday as a vital test, his victory
appears to be of considerable signifi-
canoe.

IL counsel after the match, but the
cause he won but because he was in
such excellent condition after the gruel-
ing five-set match. ,-
For the invading Americans. con-
sequences of Lacoste'S triumph were
lar reaching. Not only did it leave
Gregory Mangin as the only surviving
American in the mems singles, but it
cost Wood and Mrs Helen Wills Moody
possible victory in the finals
of the mixed doubles. They had
to go on soon after the big singles,
match to face the English pair of Betty
Nuthall and Fred Perry in the final
match.
WOOD was so tired that Mrs. Moody
w had to carry the burden of the
match and the Americans were
beaten in straight sets.
One other American was left today to
contend for singles honors. Helen

vanced at the expense of Doris Metaxa

LUCAS AS|SSTRIV|NC
FOR MOUND RECORD
Red Star Would Beat Mark of
27 for Complete Games.
Has Ten Already.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,


~HARLES (RED) LUCAS. star
member of Cincinnati's mound
Y staff, apparently is out to set
a modern record for complete
games pitched in a season, and with
the full approval of Manager Dan
Howley.
Thus far the popular red-head has
started and finished 10 contests, with
the campaign less than a third gone,
and has won seven of them. At thai
pace, he stands an even chance of
equaling or bettering the modern mark
of 36 complete games set by Grover
Cleveland Alexander back in 1915.
TWO hurlers, Wes Ferrell of Cleve-
i land, and Bob Grove of the Ath-
letics, turned in 81 full-time jobs
last season Cincinnati's work horse"
should have little difficulty passing that
figure. So may Lon Warneke. Chicago
Cub rookie. who has started nine games
and finished them all, winning seven
and losing two.
That Col Howley is in sympathy with
Lucas ambition was demonstrated yes
terday. when the Reds took a 4-to-1
DeaLlng from PlltSDuTgn ana lell DdCk
into a tie with the Pirates for third
place in the National League.
Lucas yielded six hits and four runs
in the first two innings, but stuck it
out to allow only three hits the rest of
the way. 1t made little difference one
way or the other, however, as Larry
French was pitching almost unbeatable
ball for the Pirates 1t was Pittsburgh's
eleventh victory in IA games.

Because he is small and apparently

He is the only pitcher the coast cir

craving for speed around Mill Valley,
the city Of which his father is SUPER

many difficulties with the law friendly
justice Of the peace decided Tony need

So Tony was bundled off to the

Tony won that game and hasn't
