346 for the night and Nard San- tora, Van Megroot and Victor Mar tino all showing good form took three games from the Ash Trays but only after the Trays tied them in the second game. Wes Clarke with 319 tried hard to swing the tide in the Trays favor but he got very little help from Johnnie Me- Cristleand Jimmie Burkett.
 Nick Orsini's Grease Guns were very fortunate in taking two games from Johnnie Kurth's Gas Caps. Joe Mastandrea finally came to life to do the best work for the Guns, tOtaling 3S3 for his nights work. Anthony Orsini also did good work for his team but their teammates, Albert Volpe and Nick Orsini had an off night according to Nicholas. By the way Red McGrath, Nick Fratangelo and Jimmie Stolfe not to forget their captain, Johnnie Kurth, rolled it appeared as if they were trying to get the all time low score for their Gas Caps team but they ha done pin too many, so these boys will have to be content with this honor for the week at least.
 Al Roden with 369 together with some fine bowling by Patsy San tora, were too much for the Pumps led by Bosey Baldoni with 343 and the Oil Cans team were able to remain. at the top of the pack for games. Johnnie Peanuts" Mas tandrea had a very poor night for the Cans, turning in 8 259 score. Captain Baldoni tried hard to get Al Canavan, Rocco Colella andl Ed die Guarino to give him a little help but his pleading was in vain.
 Another large crowd was in the bleachers to cheer the boys on again this week including Louie Moore, Tommie Andria and Jimmie Marchitta.
 The pace settlers this week were Al Roden 369, Massey Baldoni BAG, Bossey Baldoni 343 and Joe Mas tandrea 333.
 Al Roden was again in the lint light having high single, 131, to- gether with high three, 369.
 The Hup Caps took honors with 424 for high gamc and also hitting 1905 for high team.
 Mick Hacker" Orsini was of for mthis week but says he is by no means all done and will not stand for Joe Mastandrea taking over his anchor man position.
 Al Roden has suspended Johnnie Mastandrea and fellow by the name of Jimmy until such a time when he finds that they will be able to roll at least one game over the eighty mark.
 Red McGrath is expected to be named captain of the Gas Cap team replacing Johnnie Kurth. The fact that the Caps are in last place leads us to the belief that Red will make a good man for this job.
 I guess that set of ten pins Jim- mic Burkett bought for his son Willie were a good investment for Jimmie hit 101 this week. (Some of you other papas please take mo- tice).

FOreign-Made Electric
Bulbs Are Not So Good

To the Editor Of The Star:
In the Star Of the 7th inst. appears
letter from Mrs. James Quinn, COM
planning of the poor quality of electric
light bulbs. If Mrs. Quinn will ex-
anime her old bulbs she will probably
find they bear the Endorsement, Made
in Japan" If so, this may account for
their poor quality. I have been caught
by the same bait, not observing the
brand before buying. If she will buy
only bulbs made in the U. S. A., as
I do now. she will have no cause for
complaint in the future. We have
both been victims of our beautiful
tariff laws, which allow cheap foreign
goods, made of poor material by cheap
labor, to enter this country in COM
petition with American products made
out of good material by competent,
skilled labor receiving decent wages.
Moreover, these japanese bulbs are
misbranded, their lighting power be-
ing only about one-half that repre-
sented by the brands thereon.

The Steadfast Starlings.

The startling season, with all its
comical concomitants, is again in full
blast. Tin cans rattle, smoke-pots
smolder, men climb trees or cling to
cornices and press photographers snap
the proceedings. The starlings chat
ter or slumber fitfully. They are
somewhat disturbed, but remain there,
or thereabouts.
There is a remedy for this situa-
ton. Any one familiar with the ways
Of wild life knows 1t. It works with
buffalo and with chinchilla, with spar
row and bald eagle. No form of game

Why Electric Bulbs
Burn Out So Quickly
70 the Editor Of The Star:

Permit me to comply with Mrs.
James Quinn's request in her very
timely letter to The Star, printed
Friday, and to tell her that her COM
plant about the shoddy electric bulbs
the country is now flooded with finds
a ready response among their users.
Not long ago our stores we're filled
with cheap globes imported from ia
pan and Germany and sold for 10
cents each. It made great inroads
into the American-ma bulb. which
sold for almost three times this sum.
The fact that it paid the foreign man
ufacturers to pay high duty indi-
Gated that our own makers were able
to supply this demand with our ad-
mittedly higher wages. but paying no
duty. incidentally, it also demon
strated that the intrinsic cost of max
ing a lamp is but a few cents
To meet this condition our own
manufacturers went on production of
cheap globes. Here greed for great
profit asserted itself in characteristic
fashion. They were not willing to
make and sell an honest article to give
the same service as the imported one,
but were willing to lend their name to
make an absolutely worthless lamp.
BY making both kinds they hope to
use the cheaper one in order to dis
credit the foreign article, kill OF the
market and return to the higher-cost
lamp. They never intended to sup
ply legitimate demand.
Another thing: The neon tube now
used in most stores and show windows
where globes were formerly used made
another inroad into the demand for
globes To make good these losses,
and for reasons stated, the manu-
facturers are making an absolutely
worthless lamp. lamp that burns
out after a few hours service. No
one really expects the same sort OF
service or duration of life from q
cheaper bulb: but the purchaser has
right to expect to get his moneys
worth. Many of us like to replace old
lamps with new ones oftener pro-
viding We get proportional value fol
our money.
Thus, by their greed and short
sightedness, the globe makers are
slowly but surely killing another great
business by permitting avarice to die
tate and feed their seifishness for
profit instead of giving service. The
net result is that people are not
buying, or buying fewer lamps. He
is willing to let his house be flooded
with light on occasions and have his
fixtures filled with good lamps. But
with the shoddy things-well, he just
buys what he must.

wholesale expulsion Of Hungarian ma
tionals and indicated that her only
purpose was to secure thorough inves-
tigation of the charge. that Hungary
has harbored terrorists who plotted
the Marseille regicide and whose ma
chinstions, unless exposed and
checked, threaten all Europe with
peril and unrest.
Thereupon 1t was agreed by all con-

cusations and calling upon Hungary

1t is further proposed that Europe
shall conclude q convention designed
to stamp out political terrorism and
set up judicial machinery for dealing
with that particular menace to peace.
Adjudication Of the Yugoslavian-
Hungarian controversy over Alexan-
der's murder leaves, of course, q host

mand for territorial treaty revisions,

It was an urgent word Of Bishop

comes as q second loyalty, to be di-
rected and controlled by the first and

Peace-time patriotism demands
more self-denial than that of the
conscript in war time. Conscripts
have no volition and are part Of

constant voluntary service without

tive patriot must reason, perceive

Americans who have opposed the

League of Nations have never denied
its usefulness for Europe's purposes,
especially in the realm of preserving
peace in the Old World and in the

trans Atlantic origin and interest. In

Hungarian conflict, or at least In
bringing about a compromise which
has prevented war, the League has

Redistributing Wealth
Could Only Work Harm
To the Editor of The Star,

To the Editor OF The Starr
If, as The Star stated editorially on
Sunday, Secretary Wallace has called
for . more equal" division Of wealth.
his phrase should be revised to call
for q more equitable" division. This
is no mere quibbling over terms, for
no approach to an equal division Of
wealth can ever be but momentarily
In the interest of any one. While
there may ne and doubtless is too
great concentration of wealth, this
is not q cause but q result OF our
condition of undulant fever in finance,
and it Is treating the symptoms and
not the disease to attack capital d.
rectly.
As an able member Of the Secre-
tary's own staff, DR.. Mordecai Ezekiel
has pointed out in q recent state
ment, capital Must remain In the
hands of privileged" class, who are
both willing and able to conserve it,
for it is capital income and not labor
income that yields that surplus Of
purchasing power upon which rests
a highly competitive market for labor
with high real wages and standards
Of living. Any policy which, in an
effort to "redistribute wealth." de-
stroys capital by disturbing its con-
troll by those who can and do save and
invest wisely can only do harm to
all Of us.
1t Is not radical policies alone,
however, that may create an unfair
and unwise control over our reserve OF
wealth. Established practice Is not
above the need for reform. The trou-
bic is that so many reforms" are
chimerical or disingenouous and result
only in changes in form rather than
substance, or merely in personnel
rather than toward equity and wis
dom in distribution and control Of
wealth.
As has been remarked by leader
Of research for great industrial cor
poration, the basic trouble with our
system lies not in any aspect of pro-
duction or consumption, but in our
bookkeeping. Obviously, this involves
our present scheme Of money and
banking, which, however bad. is being
defended as part of the American
system" by 'laiSsez faire" school Of
conservative" thought which, in
effect, thus prepares the ground for
the sowing of the seeds of radicalism
that seeks a blind equality instead Of
a fair and wise equity in the control
of wealth. ALDEN A. POTTER.
