} himself costly in the clear,
and in the end gets credit for
having a lot more sense and
courage than the guy with the
courage to fight.
Which is why resignation is
always such a popular and
profitable virtue, and highly
recommended by all cautious
souls. Well, let those who like
it, be it! But I have always
felt that if we used tenth
of the energy in fighting evils
which we use in being resigned
to them, we'd have mighty few
evils to face.
And as for Blowing to the
will of God" we certainly have
a lot of nerve to call the con-
sequence of our stupidity and
cussedness "the will of God."
I cannot believe that God
ever willed that men should
live in sickness and sadness
and sin. I believe that the
God who made sunshine and
clean water and good earth be-
lieved that His children's lives
should be free and happy and
whole. ,...
Deserve Little Credit
AS a matter Of fact, few Of
the medals in human history
have gone to the Pollyannas.
Who have rescued men from
slavery, from disease, from the
darkness of fear and ignorance
and poverty? Who have fought
the deSpots? Cleaned the poi
soned Swamps? Given men
hope and health and happi-
ness?
The Sweet Smilers? The Re-
signers? Not on your life!
They stood around and said
how lovely dear Mabel looked
in her coffin after she died Of
typhoid. But the mean, Gym
ical guys, who refused to be
cheered by pretty coffins-
they got busy and cleaned up
the local water supply, and
saved the other kids.
And that goes for every inch
of our human progress. Never
has that progress been af-
fected by the Pollyannas who
sat around on scraps Of silver
Innings. No; it has been won
by the fury and rebellion, the
sweat and blood and fighting
anger of MEN WHO RE
FUSED TO SURRENDER TO
CLOUDS, REGARDLESS OF
THEIR Innings.
The ClOud-Tac
So you can go on sitting on
the silver lining if you want,
lady. But as for me, I'll con-
tinue to tackle clouds. And as
long as live this shall be my
prayer:
GOD, KEEP ME SEEING
STRAIGHT! NEVER LET ME
BE so COMFORTABLE THAT
I SHALL FORGET THE MIL
LIONS WHO SUFFER DIS
COMFORT. NEVER LET ME
BE so SAFE THAT I FORGET
THOSE IN THE GRIP OF DAN
GER. NEVER LET ME BE so
HAPPY THAT SHALL NOT,
REMEMBER THOSE WHO
ARE BROKEN BY PAIN AND
GRIEF.

to overcome some difficulty, is
not your usual course one Of

no way out Of the trouble.
OF course, you don't add that
you have no intention Of find

Unless his problem equally af-

Reduce the Cost
Of Government

There is another way to
aid in the restoration of nor
NAL conditions-and that is
to reduce the cost Of govern
ment without delay-to cut
down the amount of taxes
that must be levied.
President Hoover, rather
late, has discovered a way to
reduce the cost of govern
ment as much as $700,000,-
600, according to the state
ment issued. This contem-

The Tax
On Beer

On Beer
From the purely party
point Of view it would be
more advantageous to the
Democrats were nothing
done until they assume ab-
solute control Of the Gov
ernment. From Mr.. Hoover's
viewpoint, it would be ad-
vantageous to him for such
a bill to pass with his ap-
proval in the last days Of
his Administration. The
historian would conclude
that the Democrats had
fought the fight and won
the victory in the campaign,
but it would be possible for
the politician to claim for
the Hoover administration
the credit for the bill.
But conditions cannot wait
on politics.
The budget has not been
balanced: the deficit still is
piling up; business enter
prise and individuals Of
small income are groaning
even now under the burden
of the extraordinary taxes
levied in the last session and
there is something tragic in
the prospect of adding more
taxes on present sources.
One way out is the tax on
beer, which will bring in
hundreds of millions of dol
lars.
That tax will come when
the Roosevelt Administration
comes in; but the new taxes
to meet the deficit must be
levied before it comes in;
and, if levied now, the peo-
pie will pay them for a year
after the Roosevelt regime
begins, even though the beer
tax be added Immediately
after the 4th of March.

Perhaps he's right. But there's
a reason. A woman has GOT to

The Washington times., 1932-11-25

THERE are so many
l. things that may be done
for the restoration Of normal
conditions in America aside
from the plan of some to
transfer the debts of IA
nations to the American tax
payers. One is to modify
the Volstead act as soon as
possible for the sake of reve-
nue. for a treasury that has
a deficit, and for the sake
of a few hundred thou
sand jobless men who there
by may be put to work.
Whether this consumma-
tion, devoutly to be wished,
can be brought about by
the present Congress which
has been predominantly dry
in the past is problematical,
though probable. The roar
ing voice of the electorate
this month has brought a
great light to many mem
bers who have been in dark
ness. Some polls made would
indicate the probability Of
success.
This, however, would not
settle the matter, since the
success of the effort would
rest at length with Presi-
dent Hoover, who stead
fastly has opposed any such
interference with prohibi-
tion. When Representative
Britten emerged from a con-
ference with the President
with the announcement that
the latter would sign a beer
bill it seemed the fight was
over. But the speedy de-
nial from the White House
that such a bill even was
discussed with Mr.. Britten
leaves us still in doubt.
The improperly of Mr.. Brit
tens statement without a
definite understanding with
the President that it should
he made, is manifest. Thus
there still is hope that
something may be done dur
ing the short session.

Nothing gives a man such q
luxurious feeling as to turn over
and placidly doze for five or ten
minutes more, in the sweet con-
sciousness that his wife is ''wor-
rying" because he won't get up.
When a woman reaches the
point where ste stops worrying
about what time her husband
comes home nights, it takes half
the "kick" out Of his pleasures.
When she stops worrying about
whether or not he loves her, it
robs his little flirtations Of all
their piquancy and flavor.
Up to his wedding day, the
average man can take perfectly
good care of himself. He can
find his own things, remember
to have his hair cut, always be
on time at the office, keep his
evening clothes pressed, write
the weekly letter to his mother,
and keep out of jail.
But from the moment he
promises to Cherish" a woman,
he apparently loses all his
faculties: his memory, his sense
Of responsibility, and the ply

after he has dropped them on

Several check-ups have been made of
horses on the grounds and the tally In
each instance runs from seven to nine.
Edward r. Bradley's Burgoo King and
Mrs. Payne Whitney's Curacao arrived
at Old Hilltop yesterday from New
York. The presence of Burgoo King
furnishes all the interest that could be
added to the stakes.
Dick Thompson, who has saddled
three Kentucky Derby winners and two
seconcs for his employer, said that he
would breeze Burgoo King today and
then decide if the colt would go to the
post in the first Eastern Spring classic.

~ HICAGO, May 13.-The emer-
gency meeting of the Ameri-
Y can Association to discuss
measures intended to relieve
the acute financial situation that has
developed since the opening of the
1882 season is but reflection of gen.
eral conditions throughout the fabric
Of minor league base ball.
A decrease in attendance is being
reported from almost every minor
league and in the North the situation
has been further aggravated by long
siege of cold and wet weather. The
writer learns that several class A clubs
are having difficulties in meeting their
monthly pay roll.
Players cannot be forced to take q
salary reduction and a clubs only re-
outright release. That, of course, is
scarcely practical if the player has
outstanding ability since he immedi-
ately would be grabbed up by some
other team and possibly a rival.
There is little possibility Of any class
AA club failing to finish the season, al
though the owners may operate at
tremendous loss Double A owners not
only have a large investment in play
ers and public good will, but also in
either real estate or rental contracts
of long duration. However. base ball
men do not expect several of the small
er minor leagues to weather out the
season, even where some of the clubs
are backed with financial support from
major clubs.
A further reduction in the player
limit Is step that may be taken later,
but no immediate decision was made.

NEW YORK, May 13.-Supreme Court
IN Justice John Ford has reserved
decision on a motion by attorneys
for Max Schmeling heavyweight box
ing champion, to dismiss suit brought
by Primo Camera, Italian boxer, for
100000 damages for alleged breach of
contract.
Cameras counsel told the court the
suit was based on an oral agreement
made by Leon See, Cameras man
ager. and Joe Jacobs. Schmeling's
manager. under which the two boxers
were to fight for the worlds champion
ship not later than September 80, 1881.
This oral agreement was preceded, the
lawyer said, by a written agreement
between Camera and the Madison
Square Garden Corporation under which
Camera was to box the winner of the
Schmeling- -Stribling fight in July. 1881.
Counsel for Schmeling, in asking
that the suit be dismissed, argued the
complaint was based on the contract
between Camera and Madison Square
Garden. to which their client was not
a party.

With Rugged Schaaf.

NEW YORK, May l3.-The rarest of
~ all Queensberry specimens, a
southpaw heavyweight, will be
trotted out when professional boxing is
resumed in Madison Square Garden to-
night after an interval of six weeks.
Jack Gross of Philadelphia, the south
paw, is to meet Ernie 'Schaaf in the
main event of 10 rounds.
Gross has not been seen here in sew
eral years, but that does not meau he
has been idle. The big fellow has been
campaigning industriously, taking job
wherever one could be found. Gross
has good fights with men like Godfrey
and Loughran to his credit. On the
other hand, he was tipped over by Primo
Carnera when the vast Venetian was
in the throes of that knockout streak,
which Is not so good.
Schaaf, smashing puncher and q
remarkably rugged and courageou9
warrior, naturally is practically the
unanimous choice to win. The former
sailor is just one jump away from a
championship match, so it would be
strange indeed were he to run second
to Gross. However, it is not necessary
to stack the cards to bring about q
strange deal in a heavyweight fracas

back in the American Association and
probably will come back to the Pacific

Harassed by unsuitable weather
which has piled up 30 double-headers
during the first month of the season,
American Association Club owners yes
terday voted to install some 25-cent
bleacher seats and to admit women and
boys under IL years for IS cents every

coax a paying amount of patronage
through the gates.
IN a formal statement the club own
ers blamed the weather for all of

crowds have been 50 far of for good
days and good attractions that 1t was
deemed wise to make a radical cut in

~ ILL McKECHNIE'S Boston
X Braves may not win the
- National League flag this
year, but they promise to
establish a lasting record for de-
moralizing the opposition.
In % games the battling Bos-
tonianS have been helped along
by 48 opponents errors.
The Giants have suffered most from
the jinx. In six engagements with the
Braves they committed II bobbles, eight
in one afternoon and five another.
Brooklyn made 10 in five games, Phila-
delphia seven in five.
Now come the league-leading Chicago
Cubs with threat to SurpaSS anything
previously done. Facing Boston for the
first time yesterday, they managed to
compile seven errors, more than suffi-
cient to give the Braves an 8-to-3 VIC
tory behind Ed Brandt.
THE Cubs young infelders, Bill Her
l. man and Bill Jurges, divided most
OF the hard luck between them,
Herman with four boobies and Jurges
with two.
Brandt had the Cubs baffled until the
last of the ninth, when Johnny Moore.
nicked him for a home run with two
on. The loss cut Chicago's lead over
the Braves to two games.
The Brooklyn Dodgers won first blood
in their lopg-awaited series with Gin
cinnati, 5 to 2, as Babe Phelps hurled
scoreless ball after the first inning. Joe
Strip and Tony Cuccinello, former
Reds, played big part in the victory.
JESS HAINES made his initial start
of the year for the ST. Louis Cardi-
nails and beat the Phillies, to 2
The Cards knocked Jim Elliott from
the hill in the second and plastered his
three successors.
The Giants opener at Pittsburgh was
ra1ned out, and only one American
League engagement escaped the ele-
ments. Cleveland nosed out the Boston
Red Sox, 5 to 4, when Dick Porter's
double scored Cissell after two were out
in the ninth. Earl Webb lost the ball in

SkImpy Field Likely.

A CCORDING to the latest
y available information the
field for the PreaknesS will
be as skimpy as that for the
Derby last Saturday was un-
wieldy, the consensus being
that only 8 will go to the post
as against 10 that faced the
barrier at Churchill Downs.
But, as in the case of the
Derby, the race promises to be
one OF the most open in its
annals, and with the track sure
to be heavy almost anything
can happen.
However, although a three
day rain, which by yesterday
had converted the strip into a
sea Of mud of the consistency
OF thick soup and which has
prevented anything like fast
trials, Tick On, the Derby ia
vorite, and Burgoo King, which
won it, undoubtedly will be the
favoriteS.
There is even some doubt
whether Burgoo King will be a
starter, the decision being due
today after test run planned
by his trainer, but if he does
he probably will be second
choice to Tick On, for the
Bradley horse never has shown
a fondness for mud.
