"What's Right With the World"

Last week counted out" two famous
prize fighters. Strong men they, phys
ically and morally, and fine examples
to American youth which idOlized
them. Corbett and Schaaf were life
long devout and practical Christians
who gladly hit heavyweights, and
feared to miss" Mass and God. And
did this salutary fear of the Lord
hurt them? Does it not appear as if
it rather helped them, as it helped
Gibbons, Sharkey, Tunney, etc.? The
moral equipment of these men joined
to the physique of Dempsey would
have made an unbeatable champion.
These solidly religious champions
feared God, but did not fear gloves,
bullets, and bayOnets. There must
be something to a church that moral
ly trains" such men. They have
fought the good fight" May they
rest in peace.

Total subsidies -S15, S65, 54S.S1

Add to this another $1S,O00,00O paid
by the government to air mail car
riers, 80 per cent of which is also a
SubventiOn, and one wonders less
about the annual postal deficits and
the difficulties of balancing the bud
get. Meanwhile, the wages of under
paid postal workers are being draSti-
cally reduced in wave of ECONOMY"
hysteria. But do the apostles of ''cut
costs decry these millions throw II
away to the airlines and shipping
corporations? Not so you could no
tice. They are for economy as long
as it doesn't touch the big fellows,
whether they're big shipOwners or big
munition makers.
The coming Democratic national
administration will have a fertile
field for real economy in the admin
istration of the Merchant Marine Get,
what appears to Rep. LOzier as one
of the most fragrant of all pie counter
CRAFTS. Here again the new admin
Stration will be on trial, and failure
to curtail this subsidy racket worked
at the taxpayers expense will be a
flat violation of platform promises
and sell out to special privilege.

don," and others. Between her writing
she scored in Beyond the Horizon" !"
"Miss Lulu Bett" and other plays in
New York.
Miss Robson's "Aunt Mary" played
all over the world She needed new
play. So her friend Louise CLOSER
Hale took a leave Of absence from the
theater, and wrote Mothers Millions" :"
which proved as great a hit as Miss
Robson's former play.
Incidentally Aunt Mary" and
Mothers Millions" brought Miss Rob-
son to the screen.
Mrs. Hale came to Hollywood as q
result of playing a role In "The Hole
in the WALL with Claudette Colbert in
New York. Since then she has played
in numerous pictures, including RE
bound" Shanghai Express" "Plati-

aspirations. But when he was mustered
out he secured a part in a Moulin
