ON THE SIDE LINES
With the Sports Editor
BY DENMAN THOMPSON

~ NE guess is as good as an
1 other-before the season
actually starts.
Come Fall, the order of
finish may be scrambled like an
omelet, but at least we've had the
satisfaction of trying to cook up
something.
No real, good reason for prog
nosticating a base ball race ever has
been advanced.
It serves no useful purpose other
than to afford some friend
chance to rib you, If he remembers
how you picked 'em, for II you nap
pen to stumble on the right combl-
nation it always is forgotten.
With us, however, it simply Is
maintaining an old custom.
For many years back we have
bravely gone out on a limb with
forecast, trying to duplicate feat
achieved early in our career OF cor
rectly calling the turn on the first
division in each league, although
falling signally as regards the tall
enders.
But in one respect we have been
consistently successful-the teams
we named at the outset have been
the same as at the finiSh-thanks to
the fact that neither league has
changed its circuit after campaign
got under way.
~IVIC pride, of which we claim
to have our full share, would
dictate placing the Nationals
on top.
AS a matter of fact, it is entirely
possible they will land there, for the
team Clark Griffith has assembled
looks to be the best ever to represent
the Capital.
Defensively it looms as the class
of the circuit and with added punch
in the outfield, together with i'm
proved pitching, it promises to make
a game fight under the leadership
of the smart and hustling young
Cronin.
But greatly improved as are the
Griffmen, we doubt they can match
that mighty New York machine.

parts, it's true, but that doesn't ap-
ply to the all-important pitching
staff.
Ruth, Sewell, Combs and Lazzeri
frequently are mentioned as on the
down grade and likely to crack. but
if they do ~it is extremely unlikely
they'll all go at the same time, and
Mccarthy has a corps Of replace
ments superior even to Washing
tons.
That's a fact that probably has
been overlooked in the enthusiasm
engendered locally over Cronin' S
club.
If Ruth can't play more than 100
games, Gehrig can. He's been play
ing every game for so many years
now he is right on the heels OF
Everett SCOTS all-time record, and
Lou Is far mightier walloper than
any of the domestic array.

providing food and shelter for large numbers
Of the population.
Moreover. the government is engaged in a
gigantic effort to reduce agricultural output,
and any increase in productivity would de-
feat this effort.
These and other difficulties. however, do
not seem insurmountable The farms on
which workers will be placed presumably will
be subsistence homesteads. which would net
materially add to the glut Of farm products.
The emigrants would have the friendly CO.
operation and assistance of the government
And small farms adjacent to cities would offer
possible part-time industrial employment
The project may be an important factor
in final and permanent solution of the un-
employment problem, present even in the
best of times.

THE air is full of distance fiiers Lone pilot
Wiley Post flies around the globe smash

fleet of twentyfour planes from Italy in his
tory's most spectacular mass fight. is en- route
home to Rome. The undaunted Mollisons. who

These ocean flights are reminders that sci

In view of what the inventors and aviators
are doing TO bring nations closer to one an
other. how absurd appears the growing eco
nomic nationalism that seeks to force nations
back TO the isoationist ideals of the clipper
ship days.
The nations are interdependent, no matter
how loud the eagles and the lions of nation
aism screech and roar. World wheat and
cotton conditions helped our midwest farmers
and southern planters more than the heroic
efforts of Secretary Wallace's "a A. A"

majorities do not represent the true will Of
the voters
OF course this is not the first time the
organized drys have resorted TO questionable
weapons 70 block a showdown on prohibition
For years they have exercised political
pressure on congress to prevent any move
toward modification or repeal. And with their
huge chests Of campaign contributions and
organized strength. they we're able TO block
a showdown until the Roosevelt New Deal
came along.
Since then prohibitions ultimate doom has
been an accepted fact Every state voting 70
date has gone for repeal Even the tradi-
tional dry southland and such states as Iowa
and Indiana have added their votes to the
swelling repeal chorus.
Yet, the organized drys persist in hunting
loopholes through which to block showdown
elections. Already, they have lost their first
hght-an attempt to stop Ohio from voting
on repeal next Nov. 7. The Ohio supreme
court rejected their petition to postpone the
election
Now they are making similar attempt in
Missouri And using the loophole convenient
~ provided by the Maine supreme court they
intend TO seek notification of all elections
held 10 date where delegates were selected at
large. instead of by districts
AS a matter Of fact the decision of the
Maine supreme court is hardly a justihable
loophole for an appeal Of this kind
The arguments for election by district stress
the fact that it allows more representative
selection of delegates that it protects the rural
areas which normally would be outvoted by
the more populated city districts
Yet does it? Consider Pennsylvania case,
where the state will elect next Nov. dele
gates-at-large to a repeal convention
In Pennsylvania, congressional. senatorial
and legislative districts are divided so badly
that a fair representative vote on the dis
trict basis is impossible Many rural districts,
for example. have only two-thirds or even half
as many voters as city districts
II delegates were elected to a repeal con-
vention by districts. this would mean that
rural voters-the backbone of dry strength of
this state-would elect far more delegates for
the same number of votes than their city
cousins.
In other words the farmer in some dis
tricts would have two votes to the city me-
chanics one.
And still the drys insist that an election of
delegates -large-with each vote counting
alike-is not truly representative

What 10 do with hundreds of thousands of

WHY, MIR. RILEY!

EVERY now and then, some Judge or magis-
trate hands down the opinion that man
should be master of his own household
And millions of husbands upon reading of
the judges opinion, merely chuckle and tell
each other that the Judge is probably
bachelor. or else he would know better than
to make such a statement
But Tuesday, Police Magistrate Patrick F.
Riley of PittSburgh-himself a married man
delivered that same opinion in passing judg-
ment upon a prisoner who had blamed his
wife for running afoul OF the law
You should be master of the house" said
Mr.. Riley, as he imposed the customary s25
fine or thirty days in Jail.
Perhaps Mr.. Riley is the master of MS own
household. If so, he is a rare exception
But the millions of other husbands who
meekly take orders from their wives will not
be convinced.
They still will be of the opinion that Mr..
Riley should know better

MISSISSIPPI VALLEY contractors are re-
A'A ported ready to present code Of fair
practices which will remedy the ills complained
of when the National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People found conditions
of virtual slavery among their workers.
We hope this is so, and that the code pro-
vides fair hours and fair wages for the thou
sands who labor on the levees.
How much better is it to see enlightened
employers prohibiting child labor on their
own initiative than to see this done by the
powerful arm of the federal government.
How much better it would be to see Negro
labor on flood control projects get humane
treatment. decent wages by decision Of their
employers, rather than by federal orders,
following a senatorial investigation.
The senates authority to investigate Missis-
spp valley labor conditions, as reported by
the N A. A. c. P, still exists This is whip
that can crack over recalcitrant employers

Pneumatic Hammer Causes Dead Fingers

CTONECUTTERS who use pneu-
- matte hammers frequently suffer
with a disturbance Of the circula-
ton of the blood in their hands so
that they develop a condition which
has been called variously white
fingers, dead fingers. mechanical
drill disease and spastic anemia Of
the hands.
The condition has been discussed
from time TO time in medical liter
allure. Recently a special survey
Of the subject was made by Drs.
NJ. A. F. Hardgrove and N. w.
Barker.
The air hammer now used has
a handle weighing about five
pounds and measures six 10 twelve
inches in length 1t Is driven
by compressed air and delivers
about 5000 strokes a minute.
The fourth and fifth fingers,
which are held nearest to the cut
ting edge Of the tool, which is
either the hammer or a chiSeI, are
pressed closely against the end of
the tool to guide it. Therefore, it

HERE'S REAL COURAGE

ITO be a successful dictator, you need the
wisdom of a Solomon, the thoroughness of
a Napoleon, and the rash daring of a Caesar
But mostly the rash daring of a Caesar.
Frankly, some people may have had some
doubts that Adolph Hitler had all these quail
ties. especially the latter. But now who can
doubt It?
Through Frau Magda Goebbels, wife of his
minister of propaganda, Hitler now proposes to
set up a government fashion bureau and be-
come agbiter of dress to the German woman.
From this time on, nobody can question the
rash daring of Herr Hitler, who proposes to
tell 100000 women what to wear even
through a feminine minister without port
folio. 1t is colossal!
But there is a pretty good chance that it
won't work. You can tell man how to run
his business, and make it stick. You can
make him salute every dictator's underling
that comes along, and make it stick. You
can tell him to wear black shirt or a brown
shirt, or even a nightshirt, and make that
stick toe.
But when it comes to telling lady that
she must wear a straw hat, or a felt hat, or
large nat. or small hat. or a German hat. or
no nat at all-well, sticking your head into
lions mouth is just innocent fun beside that!

When the attack comes on, 1t may
be relieved by any method that will
restore the circulation of the blood
in the fingers, such as rubbing or
putting the hands in warm water
There happen to be several other
diseases which produce symptoms
somewhat similar, two in particular
being Raymond's disease and
thrombo-angitis oh,literans.
These conditions differ. however
in that Raynaud's disease chiefly
occurs in women, that thrombo-
angitis obliterans usually invoves
the feet more than the hands:
moreover, Raynaud's disease is
likely to be symmetrical on both
sides.
However the nature of the en-
ployment Of the individual con-
cerned is the chief point for max
ing a diagnosis promptly in the case
Of stonecutters, steel workers or
shoemakers who constantly use the

THE DRY'S ELATION

THE organized drys are jubilant. They
see a loophole in constitutional law
through which repeal of the eighteenth
amendment can be blocked. And they are
preparing to take immediate advantage of it,
Seemingly it matters little to these drys
that repeal is the popular will OF the people.
Seemingly. the fact that twenty states-all
that have voted-have Endorsed repeal means
nothing TO them.
The organized drys apparently are not con-
cerned about majority or minority opinion
whether or not the public really wants the
eighteenth amendment. Their sole concern
is prohibition and they are determined TO save
St at all costs.
The loophole in question is the decision Of
the Maine supreme court, doubling the legality
Of state repeal convention in which delegates
would be elected at large. instead of by dis
tricts.
With this decision as base, the drys plan
to appeal all elections in which delegates were
elected at large to the United States supreme
court.
They are confident that the highest coure
IN the nation will sustain their appeal and
that elections in half dozen states. includ-
ing New York and New Jersey. will be thrown
out.
The fact that New York voted for repeal
by an Stool majority and that the drys we're
showed under by Stool vote in New Jersey
seemingly makes no difference TO these ardent
prohihitonists.
They still intend to contest the two cleo
tions on the absurd grounds that the delegates
elected in these two states were not truly
representative" Of the people )
In short. they maintain s-to-i and 6-to-f'
