Boys Club Loses 27-2l Game -Whippets Take
 Prelinl

Because of their bulkness and elongateness Jack Dwyer's Irish American basketball teams record is still spotless, for last night at the Boys Club gym before 200 or more fans they defeated the small CT but more accurate passing Ca game seen on local court this year.
 Norman Johnson, high scoring ace of the City Amateurs, failed to garner field goal as Mike Ex- arhou guarded him like a hawk, making him hurry each shot he took. On the other hand, Gen Da- melio, leading scorer of the club bers, failed to dent the cords for Q field goal, Gene Sweeney, Vil- lanova freshman home for the holidays, bottling him up for the first three periods before being sent to the showers via personals.
 Bill Sweeney, former Chase star and a regular with the Villanova varsity, also went out via person. als early, but up until that time proved the offensive star of the Amerks, caging four field goals and a, similar number of tries in as many endeavors.
 It was just a question of the tall and rangy9 Amerks taking posses sion of the ball from the tap on each center ball from their con- siderably smaller foes who fought like demons from the opening to the final whistle. A total of 39 free tries were attempted by both teams twenty being given the, winners.

Taft Hockeyists Won Grown At
 Skytop Tourney

SKYTOP, Pa. December 29-Its passing attack functioning smooth ly, and its defense impregnable, the Taft School hockey team, playing under the name of the Watertown A. c. because. of school restric- tions, routed the Morristown School sextet. 50, in the final of the second annual interscholastic tournament at the Skytop Club yes- terday.
 Handicapped by an injury to its burly defense man, Charley Tough ton, who suffered a fractured right wrist soon after the opening whis- tie, Morristown played gamely, only to falter in the. last period.
 Taft Finishes With Drive
 Limited to single goal, made by Dick Woodford just before the end of the second session, Taft attacked furiously in the last per- iod. adding four, more points, each goal coming after some clever maneuvering.
 Morristoyn earned the right to oppose Taft in the final, by defeat- ing the Latrentians, composed of Lawrencevflle. School players, in a hard-fought senit-final engage ment, 2-1. ---s .as!.a14-8
 The six teams. which were elim- mated Thursday, saw faction in a consolation tournament, with the Choate Rangers, representing Choate School, conquering the Ago A. C., 3-2, in the final. The latter club is made up of Kent School athletes.
 VictOrs Unscored Upon
 In turning back Morristown. the Taft players displayed the same calibre of hockey thea had shown in their opening two games. A total of fifteen goals was registered by the victors in their contests against Montclair Academy. Poly Prep and Morristown and not one goal was made against them.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
"DIsrURBING FACTORS IN LIFE"

The president is to be commended for his insist
ence on higher standards of living for the masses
of the people; but in our humble view,. more i'm
.portant are higher standards of life. Says the
president: among our detectives place the Sc
'curity of men, women and children of the nation
first People want decent homes to live in. L
am looking for a, sound means which / can recon-
mend to provide at once security against several
of the great, disturbing factors in life" . g..
Within a year one of the presidents sons has
been divorced by his wife, and now one of his
daughters has gone to Reno for the purpose, after
"a few weeks residence there, to divorce her hus-
hand. We do not suggest that the wreck, of these
two homes is due to any defect in the home life in
merely cite them indications of how thoroughly
American has become the habit of ldissolvng the
family by divorce.
A generation or more ago Queen Victoria would
not; permit any woman who had been divorced, for
whatever. reason, and however innocent of any
wrong on her part, to be presented at court That
was going to an extreme. But America has GER
tainly gone to the other extreme, ~ ..
Internationally there are many disturbing fac
tors in life" in America. But to our mind, the
breakdown of the sense of moral obligation, the
sacredness, and solidarity of the family, regard for
law, and other moral values are of far more i'm
portance than the kind of physical building man
and woman live in. Christ did not break, down
morally because he was born ina stable and raised
in a carpenter Shop America is putting the EN-.

DRAINING TINE BLOOD, FROM INDUSTRY

- g.
Anyone. who; looks obviously on the argument
that taxes stand in the way of business recovery
would do well to take glance at the experience
of American industry during the past few years
q, Here, for example. is what, happened to
Germ which has gross income of about S220,000,-
600 year: In 1929, a year of boom prosperity, it
paid, out IL. II cents in taxes for each dollar il
taoh in. In 1881 it paid 1914 cents. In 1888,
when. conditions extremely bad, it paid out
1888 cents And ths proportion will probably be
higher STILL in 1884,
4, That particular business is a. big one-but small
industries in precisel ythe same position As
a matter of fact, they have had tougher Shedding
during depression than have larger, concerns with
great, cash reseryesvand have seen a rising pro-
portion of hard!earned dollars go to the govern
ment Money that could have been used for ex-
pansion, for raising wages and shortening working
hours, for putting more men to, work-the tax col
lector got. .,s.,r -..,,..;.
e. Every worker and investor has felt the adverse
effects of that, and the problem constantly grows
greater. Honest tax reduction that really reduces
the cost of government and doesn't simply shift
the burden of political slight-ofrhand, would be

WASHINGTON

PWA money has been paid out

own long division.
THE sad demise Of the AAA
amendments, which would
have made AAA control measures
bombproof in the courts, but
which were sunk in committee by
senators led by Smith of South
Carolina and Byrd of Virginia,
recalls some amusing inside his.
tory.
Secretary Wallace and his fel.
low agricultural brain trusters
originally worked out thret
groups OF proposed amendments
to the farm act: ! The absolute.
ly essential. =. The important
but not essential. 8 The desir.
able, but neither essential noy
important.
They abandoned ono set.
Soon aftcrward, Roosevelt told
them to drop the second list
it was too much of load for
the, current session.
So AAA went to bat only
with, the must" stuff. 1t was
that list which was first mOdi-
fled under attack and then scut-
tied completely.
One of the original amend.
ments was designed to protect. the
consumer more clearly than the
act, which might be construed to
"freeze" the present margins OF
the middlemen-which isn't the
AAA idea at all.
Behind closed doors, Chief
Counsel Jerome Frank of AAA
riddled it. He explained there
were. three possible interpreta.
tons. which sounded worse and
worse as he eXpounded them.
WHO do YOU suppose wrote
that?" asked Wallace,
