MELLON TRIES
 TO EXPLAIN ONE
 CRIME PROBLEM

London, June 1.-(UP)-Am- bassador Andrew W. Mellon began his campaign to help the British understand the people of America by warning. that "one Al Capone does not counter balance millions of loyal and industrious citizens of whom one never hears."
 "Lawlessness and greed" he said in his address before the English Speaking Union here, "are not pe- culiar to any race or nation"
 The ambassador faced a task many considered impossible in try ing to offset the British tendency to misunderstood the crime situa- tion, the delay of action by con- gress, and other developments in the United States of which few Britons have first hand knowledge
 Mellon, already one of the most popular diplomatic envoys, was cheered and congratulated by many prominent guests after his speech.

TODAY THIRTIETH
ANNIVERSARY OF
PENNEY FOUNDING
Nationwide Store System Grew
from Tiny Wyoming Start
April Ia, 1902

Thursday, April IA, will be the
thirtieth anniversary Of the founding
of the j. c. Penney Company, that
being the date in 1872 when Mr.. Fen
ney opened tn store IN the mining
town of Kemmerer, Wyoming,
which ultimately became the mother
store of an organization now cover
ing every state in the Union.
The Redwood Falls branch is num-
Der 853 of the company's 1,460 stores.
1t was one of group of 81 stores
owned by F. S. Jones Company which
was taken over by ]. C. Penney in the
summer of 1927. B. II. Clark came
here from Ortonville to manage the
store at that time and has been man
ager since.
Mr.. Penney's original invested cap
ital was $500, which together with his
unsecured note for $1,000, bought for
him a one-third interest in the one
room shop operated under the name
-"Golden Rule Store" The other two
thirds interest was owned by johnson
and Callahan with headquarters In
Evanston, Wyoming.
The plan of allowing store manag-
ers to acquire an interest IN the
stores they operated was growing
one in the West at that time. 1t was
largely due to the fact that there was
little money. Early spread was close
to Kemmerer and was largely In the
states of Utah, Colorado and Idaho:
In 1907, Mr.. Penney acquired 1uii
ownership of three stores in the Jonn-
son and Callahan group and lmme-
diately set his avowed plan OF opera
ton into effect.
The plan was simple in its objects.
1t put the possibility of a store part
nership before every male associate
in the company. The man VINO
through his own ability could quarry
got store of his own. In modlneo
form, the same general plan is stlii
working today, thirty years later.
Despite the fact that this plan was
at one time termed too altruistic to
admit of success, it has resulted in a
growth at more rapid rate than has
been shown by an like enterprise IN
this country. Each original dollar OF
the $500 Mr.. Pennev put into the
project 80 years ago turned over
$4,000 times last year.
In 1881 sales were close to $780,
100000 and the organization had I'M
disputedly won it's position as the
largest single distributor of dry
goods, clothing and footwear, direct
ly over the counter as well as the
largest employer in the dry goods
and clothing field.
During its 80 years, this company
has maintained in remarkable man
ner stores that are essentially local IN
their interests and community activi-
ty while combining the resources OF
many stores for economics in distri-
button.

@H1cAGo, August 27.-The pitch
ing of Burleigh Grimes and
~ Bob Smith enabled the Cubs
to add another half game to
their margain of leadership today as
they defeated the New York Giants
to l and to o, in a double header
The two-ply victory gave the Cubs
a lead of seven games over the second
place Brooklyn Dodgers. An overflow
crowd of 10000 was on hand for the
triumph.
Grimes, hurting his first complete
game since mid-June, turned in six
hit masterpiece to win the opener. He
was not scored on until the eighth in
ming. when Gilbert English doubled and
came home on two outs.
Kiki Cuylers homer with two aboard
in the first inning sent the Cubs off
ahead and they never were threatened.
Fred Fitzsimmons pitched steady ball
after that blow, which followed singles
by Bill Herman and WOODY English, al
lowing only seven more hits.
Smith gave up nine hits in the sec
ond clash. but kept them scattered. A
homer again opened the scoring, Riggs
Stephenson driving one into the right
field bleacherS following Cuyler's single
in the fourth. The Cubs added an
other tally in the sixth on Hemsleye
double, Koenig's single and an error
by Hogan and got two more OH Adolfo

was the first and a double by Smith
and Herman's single scored the other.

M Happy days will be here
/ Y again for the United States
Lawn Tennis Association IL
the national tennis champion
ships run true to form and Henri
Cochet and Ellsworth Vines. jr.,
meet in the finals at Forest Hills,
September 10.
Not for several years have the Ma
tlonals had the international favor or
the possibilities of the coming struggle
at the West Side Tennis Club with
Cochet heading an array of foreign
stars which includes the No. 1 star of
fve countries and Vines leading into
oattle a Stalwart band of defenders. II
there is VineS-Cochet final, hold on
to your hat and fight for a seat.
WINES undoubtedly will be seeded
No. l in the domestic list for the
tournament with Cochet heading
the foreign list, so the way will be
cleared for renewal in the finals of
the quarrel which now stands one to
nothing IN favor of the tall kid from
| California.
Cochet is not at his best on grass.
| preferrlng the soft ball and the clay
courts of his native France, but with
the incentive Of atoning for his first
Davis Cup defeat in five years he will
be a hard man to stop short of the
finaS. He says he is playing as we'll
now as he ever did and will have no ex-
cuseS If Vines repeats the result of the
hnal Davis Cup match last month at
Stade Roland Garros.
TT is formidable field the two fav-
vorites face, including as il does

American youngsters.
This will be Cochets fourth cam
paign for the American championships
only one of which was successful, the
little Frenchman taking the title in
1928. when William T. Tilden did not
play.
Henri first came over in 1926 and
almost Immediately jumped into the
limelight by defeating Tilden, the de-
Tending champion, in the fourth round.
He bowed to Rene Lacoste in a bitter
five-set struggle in the semi finals,
Lacoste going on to win the title.
LIE came back the next year to help
l. i France walk off with the. Davis
Cup, but was not so successful in
the nationals, losing to John Hen
nessey in the fourth round
Cochet finally saw his efforts crown
ed with victory in 1928 when he paraded
through an international field to defeat
Frank Hunter in the finals.
Vines will be playing in only his
third national. He first came east in
1880 to fall before G. Lyttleton Rogers,
/ the giant Irishman, in the third round.
Last year he smashed his way through
to the title after an all-conquering tour
