BALLOU PRAISES
SWIMMING DRIVE
Superintendent of Schools Lauds
Star and "Y" for Free
Course.

81 believe that every school child of
proper age should know how to handle
himself in the water"
This was the declaration made today
by Dr. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent
of schools, in commencing The Star and
the Young Mems Christian Association
for arranging a free course in swimming
for Washington boys during the Easter
holidays next week.
Swimming is a wholesome and popu-
lar sport" Dr. Ballou said. ut is a
splendid exercise and a healthful means
of real fun for the growing youth when
forethought and caution are brought
into play to avoid dangers into which a
needless child sometimes takes himself
Swimming is not only healthful
exercise that should be encouraged, but
is safety measure of great importance
in the conservation of human life.
"The person who does not know how
to swim is badly handicapped in an
emergency on the water. Besides risk
ing his own life, he may cause others to
risk, if not sacrifice, theirs.
II am, therefore, glad to encourage
the program by which boys of school
age will be taught the art of swimming

UTILITY ACCOUNTS
FOR |. c. c. SCORED
D. c. and State Commissions
Join Attack Against
Phone Rulings.

The District Public Utilities Commits
sion and group of State public utili-
ties commissions today opened their at
tack on the uniform system of telephone
accounting prescribed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, at hearing
today over which Commissioner East
man presided.
AS far as the District is concerned,
the local commission complained that
under the new system Of accounts 1t
was impossible for it to get from the
telephone company the information re-
quired by the Public Utilities Act OF
1913 The commission asked that the
entire order be rescinded.
The States, however, led by New
York State, waged the fight on more
comprehensive front, claiming the or
der interfered with the sovereign rights
of the States and transcribed the jul
risdiction of the Interstate Commerce
Commission or any other Federal
agency.
Reads 34-Page Brief.
Speaking for group of nine States
which presented a joint petition,
Chairman Milo R. Maltbie of the New
York State Public Service Commission
read a 34-page brief attacking the sys-
TEN of accounts generally and in many
particulars.
He pointed out that in most telephone
companies only 10 to Is per cent of
the business is interstate and the rest
intrastate, but that the order would
have the effect of controlling the fiscal
affairs of the entire properties of the
companies, both interstate and intra-
state.
He charged that the telephone COM
panies welcomed an escape from State
regulation and said that every time a
State Commission tried to order one of
them to do specific act it would wave
the Interstate Commerce Commission
order and deny that the State Com
mission had any Jurisdiction.
1T hardly seems" he said in part of
his brief, that the interests of the
States In public regulation have been
given as much weight as the interests
of the companies"
He referred particularly to the section
of the order allowing depreciation
calculations made by the companies to
stand until changed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, without refer
ence to State action on the matter.
Charges Interference.
''This is very Objectionable, he said,
"and is an extreme interference with
State action. No such status should
be given company rates
Again Mr.. Maltbie urged that the
commission withdraw rule requiring
accounting for the purchase price paid
for new properties to be made accord
ing to special rules to be laid down by
the Interstate Commerce Commission in
\ t1.1A 4o4 ,r
sions very often attached conditions to
allowing telephone corporations to pur-
chase properties and that these condi-
tions could be set aside by an account
ing order from the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Besides the District of Columbia, the
States joining in the Maltbie brief were
Maryland, California Missouri, New
Hampshire. New York, Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania, Washington and Wis
consin.

OLD TIMERS WILL
SHOW PLENTY FIGHT

The "Old Timers" ball team will
make its debut on the Askov diamond
Sunday, Sept. 3, at 2:30 p. m, when
that aggregation of old time ball
players will compete with the regular
Askov team. Many details remain to
be ironed out by members of the
club and for that purpose meeting
has been scheduled to take place at
Askov, in the American Legion hall,
the same day at p. m. The club
will most likely have inter-club teams
as well as an all-star team to COM
pete with other clubs in the county
and state.
1t has been suggested that the Of
fetal uniform for members of the
club be a white sweatshirt and khaki
trousers.
1t has also been suggested that
permanent chairman and a perman-
ent secretary-treasurer be elected by
members of the club at Sundays meet
ing, but that new managers and cap
tains be elected for each game.
Twenty-Five players have so far
registered. The ever game sport, W..
P. Hogan of Kerrick, tops the list,
and to him also falls the honor of
being the oldest member of the club,
raring to go at the age of sixty.
The boys will undoubtedly get into
some tight places, and it is on such
occasions that w. P. will perhaps be
called upon to show the fans how
games were won in the nineties. The
club also boasts of other dignitaries
who should be good drawing cards.
The first competitive game will be
played at Willow River between the
old timers all-star team and the reg
ular Willow River ball club, the
occasion being the Willow River fair
Saturday, Sept. 8.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

Hardly day passes without some
reference or other to what is thought
to be an imminent danger of a new
war in Europe. and most generally
the Hitler CHARACTERISTIC in Germany
is pointed out as the actual menace,
as the factor which more than any
other is capable of bringing about a
new and very serious conflict.
How we'll founded such rumors of
impending war are, it is difficult to
say; offhand, one would feel inclined
to say that they are exaggerated since
there is no actual cause for war. On
the other hand, the rumors are so
persistent and so frequent that there
may, after all, be some foundation
for them.
French Opinion.
Characteristic of the tension now
prevailing in the Old World is a
statement made the other day at a
conference at Angouleme of Social
istic members of the French chamber
of deputies. Barthely Montagnon said
that 1.-The present regime in Germany
Italy and Hungary represents oppres-
sion of the people and may within a
few weeks produce war;"
And this declaration was made by
another deputy, Adrien Marquet:
IF within the near future the Hit
leritic movement gains ascendancy in
Austria, it must be realized that a
germ of war lies in that situation
Protecting Austria.
For several weeks the Hitler MAJ
lists have made strong efforts to make
their influence decidingly felt in Au.
stria in the hope of effecting polit-
ical merger of that country and Ger.
many. Reference has been made in
these columns to the propaganda car
ried on in Austria by the German
Nazists, and although it appears tt
have ceased for the time being, as &
result of Italian pressure, it is still
very clear that Germany intends tt
continue it's attempts to effect con
solidation.
Opposed to the German aspiration:
| is the firm attitude of Austrian Chan
cellor Engelbert Dollfuss who is sup
ported by general public opinion al
most everywhere in Europe.
Early this week it was announced
| that a commercial treaty had beer
entered into between Italy and Au
stria, and this, apparently, was a di
rect result of conversations carried
on a few days earlier between Doll
fuss and MussOlini.

RUTLEDGE RAILROAD
MAN is LAID TO REST

George B. Emmons who passed
away on August Is, at 10 a m. at his
home in Rutledge as a result OF the
ravages of carcinoma of the lung,
was born at Sheridan, Ind, on Dec.
10, 1885. Leaving there in 1903 he
went to Wolga, S. D., to live, later
moving to Huron, S. d. He was en-
ployed by the Chicago and North
western railroad as fireman from 1904
to 1908. On recovery after an illness
of five months, he was transferred to
yards as switchman until 1919 when
his health broke down and he was
unable to work.
In 1921, his health being better,
he moved to Superior, Wis, and was
employed as a switchman by the
Lake Superior Terminal and Transfer
Co., until 1929, when he had to give
up his work and entered sanatorium
at Pine City. When his health was
some what improved Mr.. and Mrs.
Emmons moved to Rutledge in the
fall of 1882.
Funeral services were held at
Huron, S. D., on Aug. Is, from the
home of Mrs. Emmon's mother, Mrs.
N. H. Mahowald, and at 10 a. m.
services were conducted at the Cath
Ollie church.
Mr.. Emmons was married in 1910
to Miss Margaret Mahowald of Huron,
S. D. Surviving besides the widow
are four brothers, Cecil of Huron,
S. D., Jasper of Ingalls,, Ind, Fred
of Alexandria, Ind, and Basil OF
Crown Point, Ind.
Mr.. Emmons was we'll liked by all
who knew him and had a host of
friends. He will be missed by his
dear wife as she was his constant
attendant through all his years OF
suffering and she did all that was in
her power to help him, but when his
Maker called him she knew his suf-
fering was at an end. Mr.. Emmons'
suffering was intense but through 1t
all he was brave and patient.

Not Much on Talk.

Much has been said of the modesty
and reticence of the Wright brothers
of airplane fame. That they were
able to give a clever reason for their
reserve is indicated by this story:
"You see," said the financial agent
of the two Dayton skyfliers, ''the
Wrights are what you might call too
shy and too modest. l said so once to
Wilbur and do you know what he an
swered?" Mr.. Flint paused long
enough to chuckle:
Wilbur said to me, Mr.. Flint, the
best talker and the worst flier among
the birds is the parrot"
