STARR HILL STARS WIN
 FROM TIDEFLAT TIGERS

In a baseball game Saturday afternoon which the victors de- clared was the first of scheduled five-game series and which the losers insisted was only practice affair, the Starr Hill Stars walloped the Tideflat Tigers by score of Is to 6.
 Five pitchers and three catchers were used by the Tigers to stem the onslaught of the Starr slug gers, who got along nicely with just Buddy Lindstrom and Tommy Hall for their battery. The batteries for the Tigers were Frank Behrends, Ralph Bardi, Arnold Swanson, Ed win Hildre and Roy Jackson; Dick Jackson, Frank Behrends, Sonny Converse. d ps ssss

Vet Infield Blows Up as Elks Lay Down Barrage
 of Hits, Sunday Game

The Elks lambasted four Vet hrlers Sunday afternoon for 13 hits, including homers by Man ming and Andrews, three two-bag- gers and a triple, and, aided by 10 errors, walloped the American Legion outfit by a score of IA to 6. Twelve of the Elks tallies came in the seventh and eighth innings.
 Junge was nicked himself for nine blows by the Vets but the latter couldn't make runs as fast as they gave them away.
 Good Game To Seventh
 It was a pretty ball game up to the fatal seventh at which time the Vets led by score of to 2. The Bills scored twice in the third. D. Baker was safe at first when S. Baker threw wide to the bag. Dew ey scored when Manning parked home run amid the parked au- tomcblles in center field.
 The Vets wiped out that margin in the fourth when they showed four runs over the plate Singles tby Haines and Blake, a hit batter -Hermsen-P. Schmitz's single, fol- lowed by a fielders choice and another single by S. Baker, scored Haines, Blake, Hermsen and B. lSchmitz.
 Both Pete and Junge frightened lup in the next two frames and neither side scored. The seventh was disastrous for the ex-soldiers land Pete walked off the mound. lBrodie famed to open it and Blake ISmissed the third strike. Grummett Kicked D. Bakers grounder to left Hfield. Grummett took Rollers lgrounder and stepped on the bag to force out Brodie. Roller was ssafe at third when s. Baker jug gled Manning's grounder and the bases were filled. Boyd grounded between third and short. Grummett threw to the plate to head off Rol- Ter but he was called safe by Um- I pire Sabin. Pete Schmitz then walked out of the box.
 | Wilson took up the burden. An drews smacked the first pitch on the nose to drive the ball over the fright field wall for the circuit, scoring two men ahead of him self. The next two batters were out.
 | Seven in Eighth
 The Elks scored seven more in the eighth. Cooper walked and Brodie singled. Wilson then lost sight of the plate and retired in favor of Bill Schmitz. He was greeted by barrage of hits. D. Baker and Roller singled, Manning and Boyd doubled, the first three scoring. That was enough for Bill who gave way to Kelly Blake who gave two more hits, singles by An drews and Junge, and Boyd arI Andrews counted, bringing the ElkS total up to IA.

The Truce" on Capitol Hill.

In a statement to the press. widely
interpreted Is heralding an end Of the
truce" through which relief legislation
has been hurried along in Congress,
Speaker Garner of the House today
critic.zes Republican leaders for claim
ing credit for the passage of these laws.
The Speaker goes further and attacks
the Presidents plan for reorganization
Of the Government departments, under
which Congress would give authority
for changes and very largely leave the
matter to the Executive The Demo-
cratic Speaker Is clearly panied because
Republican speakers have undertaken
to claim for President Hoover credit
for having taken the lead In the legis-
lation to help revive business. He
points out quite correctly that if the

there is to be "co-operation" in Con-
gress 1t must be Joint affair, with Re-
publicers as we'll as Democrats par

Why has there been at least thc
semblance OF a political truce on Capitol
Hill this Winter in order to let the re-
lief bills proposed by the administration
60 on their way and become law? 1t
has not been because of any love for
the Republicans or for Mr.. Hoover on
the part of the Democrats. 1t has been
because the Democratic leadership wise

and would gain support throughout the
country by such course. The Demo-
Gratis have reaped such credit. Their

attention again and again to the man.

solidly together under the leadership
Of Speaker Garner in the interests CT
the country since Congress opened.
There have been plenty of Democratic
claims Of credit for speeding the relief
legislation on its way. But it is easy
to understand that any Republican
claims would be disputed quickly by
the Democrats. Yet had the House been
Republican, as 1t was in the last Con-
grees, would this legislation have gone
through any less quickly? 1t would not
The Democrats. and particularly
Speaker Garner, have reaped much
benefit already and general praise for
the manner in which they have con-
Quoted themselves. Are they going to
spoil 1t all now by kicking over the
traces and beginning a partisan war
fare against all relief measures that
may be proposed hereafter by Presi-
dent Hoover? 1t does not seem possible
they would be SO stupid or would per-
NIT themselves to lose the esteem which
they have gained in the country up
to the present time. 1t appears that.
after all, the breaking OF the truce"
as it has been called. will be more
vocal than actual, and that the Demo-
Gratis will continue to act favorably on
measures designed to relieve business
conditions in this country. The diff
Guilty lies in the fact that too many
hard words sometimes lead to actual
conflict, danger that the Democrats
must guard against. There is plenty
OF time for them yet to make mistakes
in the House. The Democrats CT the
Senate wisely refrained from giving
their approval to Federal dole meas
ure. Such a bill may yet be brought
up in the House. 1t may even be
passed by the House, perhaps with the
feeling on the part Of some OF those
supporting 1t that 1t cannot become law,
either because Of the Senate or because
of a presidential veto in the offing.
But the House Democrats will have to
stand on the record they make in the
House and not on what the Senate
or the President may do.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEKETL.

This enables a man to hide behind
cigarette more effectively than the
small boy did in school behind great
geography book.
AS small IS it is. cigarette Is
enough to give q man a breathing speli,
especially when he Is doing his best TO
get ready to think.
Countless men believe they do a
great deal Of thinking under the in
nuence OF tobacco SMOKE, but one may
well question that impression, not TO
the detriment of toba eco, either.
Tobacco smoke is the friendly haze
which enables one to give others tie
soothing belief that some profound
mental work is going on.
1t Is masculine tradition. but 1t
Is mostly bunk The real help OF the
cigarette, pipe or cigar is the delusion
L. sets up In anothcr's mind that the
smoker is thinking.
Men honestly believe 1t themselves,
but the truth is nearer this. that it
gives breathing spell. during which
the mental energies collect themselves
for the final rush.
1t Is this Anal rush which is the real
thinking; The prelude is a precious
room OF tie brain is swept clean Of
all extraneous ideas.
Ih"t Is as far as the preliminary
enough.
One cigarette will do.
Behind the haze OF the modern
la-hem) cigarette. wrapped in ultra
modern transparency, one comes to a
little time Of peace and auietness amid
ire hurlyburly. The precious b!okns

ara imagining he is thinking, think
you are thinking. too
You know better
The thinking will come later. Con-
scious effort is at a standstill. New
impressions can come only where old
ones are absent. What the mind of
man struggles for daily is a fresh slate,
whereon something new may be
writ ten.
Inc old thoughts are not enough.
GIVE us something new, o cigarette.
and receive our blessings. Maybe a
different sort of habit would have been
quite as good. but life evolved this one.
Out OF the new world out OF the cid
world, from Indians, from English
men, came the weed, as It was once

Today it Is social habit.

Conversation is a social habit When
Emerson said, "A man OF no converse =

one recognizes his special standpoint.

bacco that it inhibits conversation.
Most people talk entirely too much. a
fact which has been known for a long

II one happens to be in no mood

to sit by another without talking. II
one or the other is smoking. but let
both Of them have their mouths free

unless they say something.
A man OF some conversation. too.
may smoke. since 1t enables him TO
stop thinking for a time. and to seize,
