Here's a real bit of news we've never
before disclosed - the answer to a question
"heavy-bearded" men frequently ask. They
want to know why no razor blade equals the
double-edge Probak for shaving stubborn
bristles smoothly. It's really very simple. We
won't bore you with technical detail, but
microscopic examination reveals this fact
PrObak edges are entirely different from
The Washington times., 1932-04-27

those of any other blade. They are especially
honed for heavy duty service on tough
bristles. This is the reason for PrObak's pop
ularity among regular men. Try PrObak on
our guarantee. We are sure you will like the
way this blade feels as it shears wiry hair.

BOXMEN LACK
TR|CKERY
On BALL
BY BABE RUTH

NEW YORK, April II.-1 ndu
o letter the other day, asking
me why all these home runs in
the Eastern half of the American
League during the first 10 days OF
the season, when comparatively
few were hit for the circuit in the
Western half. The writer asked if
there was a different ball used, or
whether the one in use in the Sc
ries between the Yankees and the
AS was any livelier than the ball
used last year.
All 1 can say is that the same
ball is used throughout the league
and, as far as I know, there is no
difference between the 1882 model
and the one in use last year. 1t
is true that the homers have been
riding out of the parks more fire.
quently than is usual over SINH
lar stretch of games, but don't
think it indicates anything more
than that the pitching is a bit be-
low the standard. BY that mean
that number of pitchers have
been hampered by the weather
and are not yet getting the full
amount of stuff on the ball.
Come in StreakS
I have noticed, ever since the
start of the home-run fad more
than 10 years ago, that these hom-
erS come in streakS. Teams will
go along for several days hitting
plenty of them, and then suddenly
the same teams will play many
games with only an occasional
drive over the wall There is no
way to explain it, except that
pitching tightenS or the hitters
have their good and bad days in
spells.
In our first four games with
the Athletics this year 18 home
runs were made. We started with
five at Shibe Park on opening
day, and the AS got two. The
next day we got one and they
got two more, or total Of 10
for the two days. In our first
two games at the Stadium we
made five against their three.
Boundaries Slope
At the Yankee Stadium the
homers need not be so long if
they go into the stand near the
foul line, but few yards away
the boundaries Slop away from the
plate in such a way that it is
next to impossible to hit outside
the field. Over in Philadelphia
plenty of homers are made far
from the right field fence foul
line, and far from the left.
When then, you ask, are fewer
homerS hit at the Philadelphia
park if Shibe Park is easier than
the Stadium?
Left Field Hits
Here is the answer: Gehrig,
Dlckey, Combs and myself would
probably hit more over the right
field wall at Shibe Park than we
get in New York, and our right
hand hitters would hit plenty
into that left field stand Put
Simmons and Foxx on our park
and I. take off my hat to these
two as two of the most powerful
hitters I have even Seen-and
some of their longest drives would
get them nothing but times at
bat instead of homers. The an
swer is that the left field at the
the Stadium is about the worst
In the league for right-hand hit
ers after you get a few yards
away from the foul line. Long
drives to deep left are often
caught.

At The Bottom Of It All Is "The Forgotten Man"

Depicted ir the opposite corner of this page today in cartoon form is a better ed- torial than the countless pens of men can write. showing to what extremes the com mon man has been reduced in this so-called age of prosperity and enlightenment. As you look upon the cartoon, so aptly cap- toned, At the Bottom of It AL you find underneath and bearing the brunt of all our industrial commercial and monetary enterprises The Forgotten Man. brought into the present presidential campaign pie ture by that great humanitarian, if not, as some think so astute politician-Franklin Roosevelt N,
 The Forgotten Man" is. to put 1t briefly in the common vernacular of the day, the man holding the bag for every economic scheme devised to enrich the cof fers of the rich. If you analyze the cartoon still closer. you will see that this huge pyra- mid of oppression resting upon his shoulders begins with government and comes down through the various money grabbing insti- tutions to manufacturing. where. if at all he is allowed to grind out his daily plttance. In the last analysis. The Forgotten Man" is the man who by taxation, direct or in- direct. is paying the bills.
 To begin with loose government - national. state and municipal - has grown to such proportions that taxation threatens to wipe out the average property-holder to- day. The support of public institutions, good, bad and indifferent, further boosts the cost of governmental upkeep. Then comes the field of investment, offering little or nothing in the way of security, but all ths time costing more to maintain on the elaborate scale it is operating. And finally manufacturing the connecting link between the two, presents for the most part closed doors.
 Underneath it all and carrying the load is "The Forgotten Man whom Franklin Roosevelt says must be thought of if present conditions are to improve. You may build up and better government Wall Street. banking and commerce for ever - which seens*Hto be President Hoovers only, con- cern. big profits, as it were-but if The Forgotten Man is to remain forgotten, the nation soon will be forgotten likewise.
 It just can't be done. Until The For aotten Man" has pay envelope each week of living proportions, we can expect to have our depression with us. Good times cannot be- manufactured from thin air. but on the contrary must be built up on the idea of fair wages honest production and the willingness to share each and everyone alike.

Aping The Kaiser

Mussolini. who spent several years rat- ting the saber. then for year or two waved an olive branch. is now strutting again and making speeches like former Kali ser Wilhelm. He tells his people that peace is enervating. that it takes warfare, with its martial virtues, to make nations great-all the old hokum that civilized peo- pie have hoped they were done with since 1918.
 Just what MussoIini means by it is hard to say. His speeches are often. calculated for the furtheranoe of plans unknown to anyone but himself. He uses oratory as generals use troops. His real wars so far have been diplomatic. When he gets what he wants, he may start bleaching peace again. Thus it is well not to take any ut- terance from Mussolini too seriously. He is big man. strong man. an able men. but he is not a world leader, not depend able guide for modern civilization, prob ably not even savior of Italy except tenn porarly.
 He took a nation drifting into chaos po- / litically and economically. organized it and made 1t once more going concern. But his system cannot be the last word. It faces backward, not forward. because it inn poses power from above instead of raising it from below.
 Before Italy can become really great again. the Italian people must learn to gov- ern themselves. When they do, they will not disband their peace societies and start goose stepping at any statesman's sugges- ton. They will throw militarists into the Fiber, resolutely keep the peace and CO., operate with other nations similarly civil iZed.

Q Good Music Ahead

Last spring, the normal time for planning musical programs and booking concerts tor the next season, many cities and organ izations held back. They were not sure such activities would be profitable if the depression continued. Private sponsorship was increasingly hard to line up and popu- lar support could not be counted on.
 There has been an upward turn in musical plans of late which is heartenlng. to musicians and music lovers everywhere. Last month came the first news of sudden spurt in concert bookings This month the pros poets for melodious winter grow brighter. It is said that in some cities more elaborate plans are being made for fine musical sea- son than last year. No city in the country accustomed to musical enjoyment shows any signs of abandoning the habit this year, In fact. some experienced musicians say, the depresison is turning the pubic dlfinltely toward the better forms of musical art for comfort and inspiration.
 In this connection it is interesting to learn that Frederick Stock of Chicago and Leo- bold Stowkowski of Philadelphia, men known for their fearless, progressive attl- tude toward modern music, are planning for the coming symphonic season. programs devoid of novelties and experimental com positions. They will present to their audi ences only the finest works Of the time honored masters. All this. if we but know it, is very nearly as good news as any to be found on the financial pages.

had previously been conceded to republicans without a struggle. Democratic confidence of a big sweep may not be as high as 1t was, but it did result in an army of candidates while it lasted. Equally important is the wet issue as stimulus to candidacy. Congressional districts and other political subdivisions whic honce never heard of any but dry can- didates found a group of wet ones on the abllots this year. quite a few of whom won out.
 In Massachusetts the number of candidates for office nearly doubled this year. Twelve men filed for the demoncartic nomination for secretary of state, eight for lieuten- ant-governor, and six for state auditor.
 A congressional district in ad- jacent Virginia has nine candi- dates. for the democratic nomina- tion.
 A dispatch from Los Angeles, just before the California pri-
 maries, told of the big fields of candidates in the state and re-
 marked: "The fight for Superior Court jobs is a. mess. Half the
 lawyers in Los Angeles seem to
 be running and the voters know
 little about any of them." Mrs Hattie Caraway, running for the democratic senatorial nomination in Arkansas had to defeat six prominent men who wanted her job.
 Three, four and -cornered fights>are far more commonplace than ever before. Exera candi- dates often change the result, as frequently it can be said that the vote of the third man would have gone to and elected the runner-up had the third man not entered.

Hard Times In France

France, which for so long seemed im- mune to business depression, is getting 1t. DeAation started there last year and is now bad and growing worse. Production ot coal. iron. steel, textiles and other basic commodities is away down. Car loadngs have dwindled The government faces a huge deficit. The eountry's hoarded gold is not saving it.
 Only agriculture still remains somewhere near normal and offers a haven for the refugees of industry. The bsek-to-the-farm movement there is stronger than in America. Yet agriculture itself is beginning to slip. So even France could not dodge the n,is- fortune sweeping over the world. Yet France is not expected to suffer so much as Britain, America and some other countries.
 As an American economist observes; Because the French people arc inclined to ~ soderatt. because ipflstion and ovsrpfo' duction and credit abuses did not carry so far ss in the United States it is reasonable to suppose that the processes of deflstion

"A Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION

To get the lowdown on one Of the most appalling chapters in American political history, buy and read "The Insolence of OHce," by William B Northrup and John 5. Northrup.
 Here, taken almost entirely from the official records, you will find the whole miserable story of the graft and chicanery which the Sea- bury investigations uncovered in New York. The book ought to be required reading for every Ameri- ccan citizen.
 The authors have got just about everything in. They go into the horrible mess uncovered in the 1women's courts and the vice squad, they recite the damning facts about magistrate after magistrate, they give you a comprehensive picture of exactly what Tammany Hall has l had to do with it all, they include the facts about such figures as the deposed Sheriff Farley-and, last but not least, they quote literally from the record about Jimmy Walker.
 And they explain their title. What is the insolence of office? It l is .the attitude which those in power, who feel that they cannot be touched, have towards a help Hess and machine-controlled pub- llic"-the attitude which induces them to utter Tweed's historic taunt, What are you going to do about it?" They make it clear that New York's plunderbund, from top to bottom, has that attitude to-day. It is defiant and unashamed.
 The authors, who worked with Judge Seabury in the investiga- tions, have performed a notable public service by presenting this book. Published by Putnam, 1t is offered for $2.50, and it is worth every penny of it.

GIVING A FOREST
(New York Times)

1t is not often that one who is in skill as well as at heart a poet or an artist can make other gifts than ones own poetry or art. The dona-- ton of 13,000 acres of forest land by MT and Mrs Archer M. Hunt ington to the New York State Col |elege of Forestry is noteworthy exception, though it is only one of
 many public gifts from the same source.
 The forest of their giving is to
 be a place of experiment and re- search into the habits and histories of animals that live in it's shadows,
 as we'll as of the trees that make the forest. While hunting and fish, ing will not be permitted, except in furtherance of conservation, it is hoped that there may be within its generous bounds a lodge for him who wrote "El Arbol," the poem of the tree of Guernica which stood in the Basque land: One who had listened beneath it Gathered the song from it's branches,
