No pitching delivery in the Ma tional League in the past 10 or l2 years has so completely baffled the batsmsn as Carl Hubbells screw ball"
 The lanky Giant southpaw has perfected the modern equivalent of Christy Mathewson's famous "fade-away"
 It is especially deceptive, be- cause there $ no advance warn ing in his method of delivery. The batsman can't figure whether a nurva, a high hard one or the screw ball' is coming. Chances are, even if he knew, the batsman couldn't do much more than top" his shot.
 Its neither an inshoot nor a fast one with a dip" says Bill Terry, the Giant manager, when asked him aoout his star fling CTS chief asset. The ball breaks the opposite of a curve, but dips down sharply at the same time. It is no strain ol fIubbell at all to deliver this ball and he uses it most of the time. And why not?"

PRECEDENT BREAKER

The sensational loW-scoring by Helen Hicks, who bettsred mems par over one of the most difficult of Long Islands golf courses at Plandome with a 70, aided by win ter rules and one conceded putt, emphasizes how women players work their cards down into the low seventies. at
 Glenna Collett Ware once shot a 69 at Hunting, Jayce Wethered and Virginia Van Vie. the pres ent national champion, each have posted 72s in competition, but they are rarities for feminine golf It's unusual when one of the stars breaks 30 on championship length golf course. The qualifying record for the national womens championship is TT.
 Miss Van Vie probably can claim the lowest nine-hole score for any woman player, a 32, two under mems par, over the last nine holes of the Palm Beach course two or three winters ago. Miss Hicks covered the first nine at Plan dome in B strokes.

Red Tape Holds
Up Road Projects
The Times-News Bureau

RALEIGH, Sept. 9.-Although
the state highway and public
works commission has ready 81
construction projects involving
the expenditure of approximately
S2,OOO.OOO on which it is ready
to call for bids, it will not be
able to hold a letting on these
projects until after they have
been approved by the U. S: bu-
reau of public roads in Washing
ton,. Chairman f. B. Jeffress said
yesterday. It's approval of these
projects is expected any time
now. but there is no way of tell
ing whether this approval will be
forthcoming within day or a
week.
"The government keeps saying
it is anxious to put men to work
as fast as it can, yet its entire
highway building program is be-
ing delayed by the red tape be-
ing insisted upon in Washing
ton" Jeffress said.
Chairman Jeffress estimated
that construction on these vari-
Gus projects could be gotten un-
der way almost 80 days sooner
if it were not for having to re-
fer them to Washington so many
times.

tai have become so alarming that even the wet
Washington Times announced the following:
Station houses and the police court of the Dis
trict of Columbia were damned today, when a
new all-tne record for arrests was rolled up over
the weekend.
more than five hundred Washington citizens
525 to be exact-found themselves in custody. Or
this number, 211 were charged with drunkenness. y
Commenting on this, correspondent to string
of paper says: ALREADY the results OF the admins
trations efforts to destroy national prohibition are
written large in the fact that drunkenness in Amer
lea is assuming alarming proportions. The wet leg
isiation recommended by President Roosevelt IN
the shortest message he sent to congress, IN which
he advocated the sale of beer, is resulting in tide
of drunkenness in Washington such as the national
capital never knew before"
If the nations capital has set a "new all-time
record for drunkenness under the new regime, it
would seem those who advocate the sale of beer to
reduce drunkenness would have something to ex-
plain.-J. R. Gettys in World-Herald, Omaha.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE BOYS AND THE FARM

Asking the interesting question: why not keep
the farm BOYS. on the FARM" Editor Mcclure, of
The Southside Virginia News, advances a discus
sion that might be called pertinent to- the day. He
Is searching for knowledge concerning the trend
If youne men away from the farm and possible
WAYS of reversing its direction 1t is certainly OBJ
v;ous he saws, that boys who have been reared on
farms and have been intimately associated with
the craft of agriculture since infancy are pest
eouipped to make the farmers of tomorrow. And
it is equally true that these boys have been march
ING to the cities in armies, for great many years,
impelled bv the hope of making their fortune IN q
life of which they know little or nothing.
In the wears following the war, this away-trom-
thefarm drift added hundreds of thousands OF boys
TO the urban population. And when the depression
carna II was an important factor in causing the
worst unemployment situation in our history. Most
of the bows had never learned any trade especially
well-they took any job they could find, and it was
usnallv of sort requiring little skill and no train
ing or aptitude They were the first to be let out
when production slowed. They are likely to be the
last taken back.
We have appropriated millions for agricultural
ra1ief and created great federal organizations to
administer it. Certainly it would be worthwhile, as
Editor Mcclure says to go to the root of the farm
problem and give part of the money and effort to
evolving plan to enable young men to stay on
the farm and become self-supportlng citizens DO
ing this would prevent Overpopulation of urban
centers, tend to mitigate employment problems and
as Mr. Mcclure says, fits in perfectly with the ad-
minstration's aim to provide a solid economic
foundation for our country.-Charlotte Observer

INSIDE

The relative Importance of beer and industrial
recovery has been measured recently, with the re-
suit that the industrial recovery activities are fill
ing the front pages of newspapers, while beer and
other prohibition matters have been relegated to
the inside pages. For while, any newspaper had
one or more stories daily in regard to 3.2 beer or
kindred subjects and more than one reader of the
newspapers was little tired of this repetition.
Come to think of it, they did tell US that when
congress passed three-two, prosperity would take
our breath away. And here we are with more
breath than overland in the midst of the most
stupendous drive to get prosperity ever heard Of.
But when they designed the Blue Eagle they left
the bungstarter out of the picture. Could that be
significant of anything, do you suppose?-Dentor

since taking office. -,

Mr.. Etheridge, "to assume office

the conservation program to the

natural resources affects vitality

people. Unless we make the best
possible use of our natural re-
sources, we are wasting oppor-
tunities for future profits and
perpetuation of some of our most

and place the conservation pro-
gram back on a plane which its
Importance demands. A program
as vital as is the conservation Of

fare of the people merits adequate
provisions, and the public will re-
spond to an increasing degree.

TOURING WITHOUT EVEN A
ROAD MAP
(Bv BRUCE CATION

The man who wants to get good idea
of the way the whole administration re-
covery program is going to work out can't
do much else than come back about two
years from now.
The one thing that is clear today is that
all signs fail in time like the present
We're trying something so completely new
that the man who wants to do little prog
nosticating has nothing to go on. Every
thing is adrift, and about the only predic-
ton that seems safe is that when the varl
Gus blocks have all been put together again
the picture will look like nothing we ever
saw before.
1t is for this reason that all the learned
attempts to analyze and disSect the recoV-
cry program are so contradictory. No two
critics of the program get the same result.
Does the arch-conservative complain
as one did, reeently-that it is getting al
most impossible to tell the news from Mos
COW from the news from Washington these
days? On another page you can find the
arch-radical protesting that the whole
business is just great fascist coup de-
signed to enthrone privileged wealth for
ever.
Does the studious economist prove con-
clusively, with graphs and columns of fig
ures, that the kind of economy represented
in the industrial and agricultural control
plans cannot possibly work? You can find
books by equally studious economists
written before March 4 last) proving that
only through a planned economy similar to
the one now being attempted can mech.
anized modern society survive.
The doctors, in other words, disagree
about as thoroughly as can be imagined ::
and the more thoughtful and learned they
are, the more they seem to differ with one
another.
And what it all comes down to is the
fact that we are starting out on a road so
new that we have got to make up our maps
as we go along. ...
That, in turn, brings our democratic So
ciety us against its supreme test. Have we
enough intelligence, enough aptitude for
the science of politics, enough training in
the business of self-government, to carry
this experiment through successfully? If
you doubt it you had better start looking
for acyclone cellar. But if you believe that
we have-and there are good reasons fol
so believing-you can face the future with
confidence.

Railroads were warned yester-

ers complete freedom to belong

questionnaires designed to show
whether complaints or interfer-

The railroads, Eastman said,

NOTE ON BANKING

Paul N. Montague of Winston-Salem first came
to our personal attention as active and unpaid
secretary for North Carolina of the National Econ
omy League.
This league was principally publiczed by World
war veteran attacks on that part of its program
calling for the best of care and fullest payment to
those veterans disabled in part or entirely by war
service and for cutting off easy money and free
care to veterans who got hurt in the course of or
binary civil life. However, the league has worked
and still aims at correcting waste in local govern
ments, as well other evcesses of federal spend
ing.
But let us return to Mr.. Montague
We do so; because in his own business he ap-
pears to have hung up a record of interest to MANY
depositor in closed banks
In 1927 Mr.. Montague organized the First In
dustrial Bank of Winston-Salem That year IN
the light of history, was not prize time to start
any business intended to last to say nothing of a
banking business
Nevertheless, Mr.. Montague's bank lasted, right
on through those bank closing years up to the
national temporary closing this year and there
after.
Several weeks ago, announcement was made of
the merger of the First Industrial Bank with the
Morris Plan Bank of Winston-Salem
And so it was. Depostors' money OK. And
stockholders in the Montague bank, unlike those
assessed for many closed bank, received their
money back on the stock 100 cents for the dollar
Next time we meet Br'er Montague we're going
to listen extra hard to any advice which may be
drawn out of him.-Goldsboro News-Argus
