women who go there have this
consolation-it is the only Jail

Schoble leading his men in the
Argonne Forest, emerged one Of
the outstanding heroes but paid
for it with the loss of his sight
and a shattered body. In 1928,
he stood on a platform in Paris

Pershing eulogized him and
Marshal Foch kissed him on both
cheeks. On that trip, he also
visited England where the Prince

M0THERS-IN-LAW H0NORED
m TEXAS BY CELEBRATION

AMARILLO, Texas.-Mothers-i
law got something besides abuse
here on March 5-hundreds of them
in Amarillo heard kind words at
last, and had honors showered upon
them
Proud of the opportunity to rebel
against jokes, women from every
walk of life happily participated in
the first observance of Mother-in-
law day.
Florists reported larger sales than
on Mothers day. The badge of the
mother-in-law was a corsage of
sweet peas
What had been planned as sort
of party for the mothers-in-law
turned out to be Amarillos biggest
celebration in recent years.
Streets Are damned
There were visitors from a 200
mile radius and streets were
jammed with traffic. Members of a
civic club left their luncheon table
to join soda clerks and bank presi-
dents as escorts for those without
attending 'in-laws."
The mothers-in-law triumphantly
paraded the downtown area, posed
for photographs, heard an address
by Mayor Ross D. Rogers and re-
ceived greetings from nationally
known celebrities before settling
down for a business session o. theil
own and entertainment.
And was son-in-law Gene Howe
popular? Howe, editor of the Amar-
lilo News and Globe, started it. Thi'
from his mother-in-law, Mrs. w. F
Mcdonald
I'm simply overcome, don't give
me any credit for starting it. 1t was

A TRANSFORMED PEOPLE

Less than one hundred miles
from Wrangell, situated on Kuprean-
of Island, is the old Indian village
of Kake. The waters of Frederick
Sound sweep up the beach which
offers scant shelter to the homes of
the people which circle the shore.
The waters are studded with hidden
rocks and reefs, so that only the ex-
perienced mariner dares to navigate
close to its shores. 1t is said that
the early Indian people chose this
dangerous and difficult location so
as to make an unexpected attack
from a warlike enemy a hazardous
task. The rugged coast line with its
turbulent waters has for many years
produced hardy and vigorous class
of people.
In the early history of Kake the
inhabitants were feared by all. Their
warlike activities were frequent and
violent In fact, they were named
1.-The pirates of the Pacific" On one
occasion nearly one thousand of
them in their cleverly dug out can
oes with grotesque totemic designs
painted upon the prows, padded one
thousand miles to Puget Sound to
avenge the loss of one of their peo-
pie.
Soon after the United States pur-
chased Alaska from Russia, the au-
thorities were provoked by the con-
tinued escapades of these vigorous
people, and sent a naval boat, which
after drenching the homes of the
Natives with imflammable material
The Wrangell sentinel., 1934-03-30

shelled the village The inhabitants
had to rush for shelter to the sur
rounding woods What was not
swept away by shells was destroyed
by fire.
This condition of affairs continued
until nearly half a century ago.
What of today? There has developed
a people among the most progress
siye of Alaskan communities. A
peace loving people, determined to
adapt all that is good in our Ameri-
can civilization, discarding that
which is bad and undesirable, in
present so-called civilization.
Many factors have subscribed in
bringing about this remarkable
transformation. and undoubtedly,
the Church and the school have
been pre-eminent. Today, the school
has an enrolment of one hundred
and ten students supervised by a
competent staff of teachers. The stu
dents of the higher grades publish
a most commendab1e weekly Town
News" A library building is now

the village, although it boasts of
only three hundred and seventy in
habitants. The rising generation is
advancing with rapid strides.
If anyone should doubt the value
of missionary endeavor, and feel that
it is of little value, a contact with
the Kake people would dispel his
skepticism. Instead of the darkness
and superstition which once pre-
vailed, there has arisen a people
whose desire is to emulate the high
est standards of American citizen
ship, and within a few years, it is
expected that many of the present
and future generations will qualify
for leadership of the highest order

Usage hardly would have had his
praises sung so high if Bill Hallahan
and old Burleigh Grimes had not
achieved some spectacular pitching
results.
To show. how the fortunes or mis-
fortunes of our base ball lads have
run the scale in this series, here's a
thumbnail summary of facts, fancy
and otherwise:
Pepper Martin was a batting hero
one day, when he led the winning Car
dinal attack in the third game, and a
bum" the next, when he contributed
three errors to his teams debacle.
Jack Rothrock has driven in the
most st. Louis runs, five, but Joe
(Ducky Wucky) Medwick is the big
batting gun, with an average of 400,
and leads the stickers of both clubs
with 10 hits.
Bill De Lancey, sturdy backstop,
holds the current record for backtalk
to the umpires, with consequent threat
of 5000 fine still hanging over him.
Ernie Orsatti, who looked like one
of the three tumbling OrSattis" in
the first few games, turned in one Of
the finest fly-snagging performances
of the series yesterday with seven
catches.
Shortstop Leo Durocher, after fail
ing to hit safely in the first three
games, led the attack on Schoolboy
Rowe yesterday with three hits-par
for the course, but an eagle" for
Durocher.

BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

~ ETROIT, october 9 CP.-The
widest and most bitterly
fought base ball war in 10
years moves toward its grand
climax today, with the situation ripe
and ready for an unsung soldier to
strike the final and decisive blow that
will mean close to $4,000 to the
victorious side in the world series.
If the impetuous Jerome Herman
Dizzy Dean comes through to tame
the Tigers in a final attempt, there
will be a double -barreled answer
the Deans"-and consequently no
question left to decide as to the most
heroic figures of the championship
conflict.
Otherwise it's wide open fight for
individual honors in a series that has
developed some of the most amazing
form reversals OF all time. Paul 1.-TWO
Gum Dean, the only double pitching
winner so far, tops the Cardinal rank
ing list for the time being, but the
Tigers can point to no single in
dividual standing out conspicuously
among the rest of the American
Leaguers.
For that matter it's a rarity when
any soloist runs away with the show,
such as Pepper Martin did in 1881,
and even then the Wild Horse of the
Evening star., 1934-10-09
Battle for Series Hero Honor Is Vide Open
Unless Dizzy Clinches 1t for Dean Family

On the Tiger side, Jo-Jo White has
yet to miss a chance in center field
and as lead-off man he has wriggled
eight bases on balls from reluctant
Cardinal fingers.
Wearing two wound stripes, Man
ager Mickey Cochrane has been a
tower of strength behind the bat.
Besides, he's outhitting his rival mas
ter mind, Frank Frisch, by $50 to
1872.
Charley Gehringer, the strong,
silent second baseman, leads his mates
with the stick at $3.50, but big Hank
Greenberg, since being dropped two
pegs in the batting order. has taken
the lead for driving in the most
runs-seven.
Goose Goslin saved one game with
a great throw to the plate, but helped
lose another with a wild heave, be-
sides which the Goose has failed to
damage any fences since being hoisted
to the cleanup spot.
Billy Rogell and Marvin Owen, after
jittery starts, have come through with
some great defensive work. Rogell
had one big day at bat when he drove
in four runs Saturday, but Ovens sea-
son mark of .320 or thereabouts has
shrunk to the phantom figure of .080
for the series.
Rowe was the hurting hero for the
Tigers until he was turned back yes
terday. The Schoolboy now shares
the role with Tommy Bridges and
Elden Auker, only unbeaten starter.
