Women Singers Sacrifice Voices Failing to Ex-
 erCise Regularly

Philadelphia. (UP)-The slim-- figure fashion is robbing the country of considerable singing tal- ent, according to Dr Leon Felder- man, throat specialist here.
 Many women, who might become great singers, sacrifice their voices by refusing to take necessary ex- ercises. They are fearful of en- larging their figures, Dr Felderman stated recently,
 Many women also refuse to de- velop the lower register of their vocal chords because this has 8 tendency to enlarge their girth. Dr Felerman said. /
 The throat specialist has a sim- pie explantion of how speech or song actually is produced.
 'The vocal chords" he said, "are pairs Of fibrous bands drawn suffi- ciently together to leave 8 fine opening called the glottis. The length of the glottis in the adult male averages about Is centimeters and in the female 1.2 centimeters.. The stream of air flowing through the slit, or glottis, set the vocal chords in vibration. This in turn gives rise to periodic fluctuations on the flow of air throug the glot- lis. and these fluctuations create the sound waves"

 l And, needless to say, no free l discussion of the issues involved would appear. The mere distribu- tion of circulars or political pam phlets, except perhaps by the gov- | ernment, would be forbidden. In fact, such 8 suppression is being attempted right now in New Jer- sey. That is how the freedom of the press affects every person, for it is simply freedom to publish and does not apply to newspapers alone, but to any man. It shows you what blind Milton meant when he ad- dressed the British parliament in a great speech, "Believe, Lords and | Commons, they who counsel ye to such a suppressing, do as good as bid ye suppress yourselves. :" HALT OF EUROPE

 CHURCH AND STATE
 HELD WHIP HAND | At first, most of the printing being church work. the church assumed supervision over what should be printed. Then in the England of 1866. nearly 400 years ago, the Stationers' company re. ceived a royal charter.
 This was an organization of the printing and publishing trades in London, something like the trade associations now being organized under MIRA.
 The pupose apparently was to organize publishers in such way as to make them promptly avail- able for censorship activities of the king. though 1t had also the usual advancement of the trade" objective of all trade associations.
 Church and state worked hand in hand in approving printed ma terial offered the public.
 Then, in 1644, the Long parlia- ment enacted law that mo book, pamphlet or paper henceforth shall bo printed unless the same be first approved and licensed by censors. ." Champions of free- dom like the poet Milton fought this tyranny for 50 years. l Harsh punishments for all who dared to print unapproved material were common, the pillory, tho stocks, tongue-slittings, cutting off of ears, and hangings.
 But after 50 years the law Ian. guished, and ,Macaulay said, "The greatest blow for freedom then was struck"

TURKEY MIKE'
 DONLIN, GIANT
 CAPTAIN, DEAD

Los Angeles, Sept 25--(Up)- Mike Doniin, 50, who for years was Turkey Mike" to National league baseball fans, is dead.
 He died yesterday, the victim of an "athletic heart" contracted dur. ing the years he toiied in the out. field for the New York Giants. and other clubs of the senior major league circuit.
 Doniin belonged to the old frat ernity of diamond stars that mum. bered Christy Mathewson, Honus Wagner, Ty Cobb and others who long ago hung up their playing togs. A native of Peoria, H.. he broke into baseball in 1899 with the Santa Cruz. Caiif., team. When that franchise was sold to San Jose in 1900, he remained to build 0 reputation that soon won him q contract with the St Louis Cardin- als.
 Tn 1903. he was sold to Cincin- nati and the next year was bought by John McGraw. As captain of the Giants, he worked with the great Mathewson. Until 1910 he remained with the Giants and then retired. Four years later the game recalled him from the vaudeville stage and he donned the uniform of the Boston Braves. In 1915 he went to Pittsburgh but the next year, he came to the Pacific coast league as a scout for Boston.

 Although the odds arc with the stronger or "name" teams for this weeks contests, events Saturday proved that gridiron competition this year is again certain of as many upsets as 1t has in past sea- sons.
 ono striking example was of- fered for tho second time In q row on the Pacific coast where little santa Clara wailoped California 70. This was the first big upset last year too. Another example was the fact that many elevens that expected an easy time, were hard. pressed to win, some by the slight margin of one touchdown.

 The good book says. blessed be the tie that binds," or something like that, but Yale no longer hews to the belief. Poignant memories of the tie games that spoiled the Ellis 1892 season prevent 1t. In short. the bulldog is growl- ing for red meat.

and Stan Fuller. halves. and Strat- ford Morton, full.
 Wilson, Rankin and Stein were members of last years exception ally strong frosh team. Root coached them last year, and he knows what they can do. Wilson, a converted back. and Rankin are fast and tough, and Stein is not only fast and tough, but big.
 Curtin was a regular tackle last year, and a good one. Nichols, the left guard, was a regular in '32, and his running mate, Champion, is a junior who saw enough service to earn his letter. With Johnson and the mammoth Vic Malin, Yale is as we'll fixed at center as any team in the east. Malin was the starting snapper last year, and possibly will oust Johnson as soon as he works off a few more pounds.
 Captain Lassiter, a hard. tricky running North Carolina boy, was one of the best backs in the east last year. Bob can not only carry the ball but he is a cool, accurate passer, and a fair kicker. Fuller is the current sensation of the squad. He was ineligible last year because he spent his freshman year at Ohio U. He is sweet runner and a better passer and kicker than Lassiter.
 Marting understudied Lassiter most of last year. but toward the end of the season was switched to quarterback, where he showed re- markable talent for running the team.
 Yale is not without capable re- serves. In the baskfield it has some ace sophomcres. Jerry Ros- COG. Tommy Curtin and Ken Whitehead. and that piunging jun iors Mao Watson. The first string
