TOOANS .SPCRJRARADE, . b8a$h@!
BY HENRY McLEMoRE
United Press Stan Correspondent

Wimbledon, Eng, July 3-U.P.) The "ashes' for which the pick ed cricket teams of England and Australia now are battling to the death, compose what is probably the most unimpressive sports tro- phy in the world.
 Viewed from any angle 1t looks like just what it is-a fistful Of ashes. Not even the magnificent trophy case in which the ashes re- pose prevents 1t from resembling something six or seven dependable cigar smokers accumulate in an hours good puffing.
 went to see the "ashes" for two reasons, one being that in my boy hood I spent what must have been six days of every week cleaning out the furnace, and so became a bit of a connoisseur of ashes. Even to this day clean anthracite ash gives me a thrill, just as the rough, dirty ash of bituminous stoking coal goes against my grain.
 In the second place l wanted to see if there really was such tro- phy as the "ashes." As you doubt less know, there are two schools of thought on the subject. Half the chicket followers you meet say the ashes are entirely mythical; the other half insists they very much exist.
 The latter school is correct. They do exist. And behind their origin Is very pretty story. After the f1nal test match at the oval in 1882, when England was humbled by Australia. the now defunct sporting times published tn efollowing epi- taph:
 In affectionate remembrance
 Of English cricket
 Which died at the oval on
 29th August, 1882.
 Deeply lamented by a large cir
 cle of
 Borrowing friends and
 Acquaintances.
 R. I. P.
 N. B.-The body will be cre- mated, and the ashes taken to Aus, tralia.
 Linen the dashing Two Bligh took his English team to Australia the next year sportswriters, remember ing the testing epitaph, said that he was going after the "ashes."
 Much to the journalists surprise Two, upon his return several months later, brought some ashes with him. Pressed for an explanation. he said that following Melbourne ladies ran out on the field and. be- fore anyone could stop them, burn- ed the stumps used in the game.
 "The ashes of the stumps" the Honorable Two said. "were placed in the urn you see here. and pre- scented to me. What is my next mover"
 Nobody could think of a next move for Two so he willed the urn of ashes to the Marylebone Cricket Club. The urn was placed in the great trophy chest at Lords where now 1t is jeaiously guarded as one of the most previous of the many valuable possessions of the govern- ing body of the game.
 Since that year the test matches have been considered as light for the ashes." There Is, however. no transfer of the "ashes." They have never left this country. When Australia wins. the ashes the team gets are strictly mythical. Copyright 1884, By United 1ress)

Thrink of hitting with the hands and wrists. is the advice Of Chick Evans. The proper grip will give you the feeling of being able to crack the whip with the clubhead. When the stance is taken, the hands should hang from the wrists as though they were going to fall off. Yet in the hands should be a firmness that never tightens.
 Many players grip the club al- most entirely in the palms of the hands. Grasp the club in the fln- gers. They are sensitive and give you control of your club.

TWO PRIESTS DEAD
AT ST. JOSEPH'S
Funeral Held for Brother Andrew
Former st. Johns President,
and Brother Fabrician.

Brother Andrew, "a, teacher of
mathematics and accounting at ST.
Joseph's Normal Institute in Ammen-
dale. Md, and former president of
st. Johns College here, and Brother
Fabrician. 78, teacher of literature
and philosophy, died there Friday.
Brother Andrew before he Joined
in 1883 the Order of Christian Broth
ers. one of the teaching orders of the
Roman Catholic Church, was Robert
P, Brennan. He leaves two sisters and
two brothers in Ireland, where he was
born.
Brother Fabrician, who mad been
connected with the order since the
age of 6. was born in Brooklyn, NY,
as John r. Delaney. He is survived
by a nephew, Lieut.. James Delaney,
U. S. N, retired, of Westmont, N. j.
Brother Andrew, who had been at
Ammendale for about five years, and
Brother Fabrician, who had lived
there for the last 10. had been Ill
for some time and they died only
a few hours apart. Brother Andrew
had been seriously i'll week from
a stroke. Brother Fabrician died of
heart attack.
In their long lives of service, both
men had taught in Rockhill Col
lege at Ellicott City, Md, which
burned down recently; at Calvert Hall
College in Baltimore, at st. Thomas
College in Scranton and in st. Johns
College in Washington. Brother An

politics." he smiled in response to a
question.
IT have no desire for any further
political office. I have had about all

His voice took on a reminiscent
note. He paused for moment-long
enough for his mind to have taken a
quick glimpse of the career back of
the man, county attorney, Represent
ative, Senator and Vice President un-
der Herbert Hoover. He was on
Capitol Hill 38 years.
He talked about Mexico and some
of the leisurely customs he found
there. He discussed Italy and what
Mussolini is doing.
Everybody is working there and
seemed to be happy" he said, "but
wages seemed to be low"
AS he talked, he looked out across
a mahogany desk upon a room fur
nished with a cathedral-like dignity.
There was a figure of Abraham Lin
coin atop a desk; bust of George
Washington looked down from atop a
bookcase, a picture of John j. Pershing,
and-apart from other furniture, a
chair. An inscription across the
elaborately carved back read: ITO our
Vice President, Charles Curtis"
1T is a beautiful chair" he agreed,
'it was given me by a Curtis-for-
President club in 1928. All hand
carved. They tell me its mahogany"
He let his hand rest on an arm of
the high-backed chair for moment.
But it might be walnut 1t doesn't

LIBERTIES UNION
ASKSLEC|S[AT|ON
RooseveIt's Support Sought
for Eight-Point Pro-
gram.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The American Civil Liberties Union
forwarded to President Roosevelt to-
day an outline Of eight legislative pro-
posals for which 1t asked administra-
ton support.
Describing them as dealing with
fundamentals of liberty on which
Democratic processes rest" the organ
ization's memorandum offered the CO.
operation of all the groups interested
in the proposals in framing necessary
legislation.
The recommendation were:
81. To clear up present confusion
over labor's rights by outlawing COM
pany-controlled unions; by requiring
employers to enter into contractural
relations with unions representing
majority of the employees, and by lodg-
ing final power of decision in the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board.
Would Unionize Farm Hands.
SO. To bring agricultural workers,
now without protection, under the
provisions for collective bargaining
like other wage workers.
"3. To urge an investigation by
committee of the Senate of the So
called VigilanteS and other lawleSs
elements which have attacked strik-
ers, raided their quarters. destroyed
their property without rebuke or pro-
ceedings against them by local or
Federal officials.
a. To amend our present restric-
tive ion 1ot TO alr IN t1a
United States political and religious
refugees from foreign tyrannies.
IS. We urge upon you the principle
providing equal facilities on all radio
stations for the advocates and oppo-
nents of any public issue in precisely
the same way as candidates for public
office are now permitted to have equal
access to these facilities.
Anti-Lynch Bill Urged.
IS. Three years ago Congress changed
the system under which matter i'm
ported from abroad is controlled. In
place Of censorship by custom officials,
decisions are now made by judges or
juries in the Federal courts. The sys-
tenn has worked admirably. We urge
that it be extended to the Post Office
Department, since juries are a fairer
means for determining the public atti-
tude on 'obscenity' or 'Sedition' than
a single solicitor of the department.
81. We urge that the administra-
tion back bill to permit Federal
prosecution of lynchers where State
officials fail to act.
"8. We urge the replacement of
Navy rule by civilian administrations
in all American colonies. with forms
of civil government. Similarly we
urge the appointment of natives as
Governors in order to minimize the
effects Of unsympathetic rule by
aliens"

CHICAGO WOMAN SLAIN,

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 31-Mrs. Isa-
bella Hartz, "a, was found dead last
night in her north side home, a cord
knoted about her neck and her
skull crushed with a hatiron.
Police said they found a note in
the house, presumably written by a
man, in which he said he was going
east" They Immediately began a
search for the woman's husband, Wal
ter j. Hartz.
The note read: "I am sorry, but
did it to end her misery" and con-
cluded with a hint at suicide.
The presence of medicine bottles,
pills and powders in the room was
explained by DR.. Elizabeth B. Morrill,,
who said she had been treating Mrs

AT all events, We must guard

In few words, our program and
our duty will be to judge each issue
and each legislative proposition, on
its merits-and then act accordingly.
If we decide that it is for the best
interests Of the country as a whole,
We will support it, regardless of where
it originated. If we conclude that
it would be harmful, We will oppose it.
There will be, for instance, social
legislation. Personally, and speaking
for myself only, I have believed for
years that there should be some form
OF job insurance.
To my mind, however, job insur-
ance should be a three-way plan

A. A. A. EXPECTS TO PAY
FARMERS s476,0OO,000
100000 Growers Estimated
Ready to Receive Rental and
Benefit Checks in 1885.

BY the Associated Press.
The A. A. A. estimates that s476,-
900 900 in rental and benefit payments
will go in 1885 to more than 5000 900
farmers who cooperate for a con-
trolled expansion of production"
The Farm Administration predicted
that $88, ,60O,Ooo will be allotted to cot
ton, $54,6OO, 900 to wheat, s24s 800 900
to corn-hogs, $32 900 900 to tobacco,
SAT 100000 to sugar and $4,000, 900 to
peanuts. These amounts include pay
ments still due on 1884 adjustment
programs and part of the payments
to be made on new projects.
Present indications are that the
1885 income from the sale of farm
products. plus rental and benefit pay
ments, will show some advance over
the 1884 level" the A. A. A said.
THE extent of the advance. however,
depends on the rate of further increase
in industrial activity, a rise in national
income and a recovery of foreign
markets"

necessary work.
Relief Is Uppermost.
There is, probably, at the top of the
list the question of relief. Since the
depression started and our party took
control the Federal Government has
assumed the leadership in this ques-
ton, following a President who de-
creed-and wisely-that none should
Starve.
But that system cannot be continued
forever. Business is improving and
things generally are looking up. 1t
will be one of our tasks to determine
whether and how to taper of the Fed
eral Governments activities.
Social Legislation Pressing.
In that tapering of we approach
another of our biggest problems
social legislation. All sorts of job
insurance and old-age pension plans
are proposed, and there will be others.
The Seventy-fourth Congress must
decide which of the many plans will
be most satisfactory, and which should
be enacted, if any. That decision
must be reached after mature con-
sideration of all the factors involved
Another big job, of course, will be
extending some of the benefits that
went to industry and labor under
temporary phases of the national in
dustrial recovery act. Some call for
a continuation Of codes. some plead
for extension of the collective bargain
ing features of the recovery act
These are but few of the major
questions ahead. The Seventy fourth
Congress will be competent to find
correct answers to them.
