In one OF the trying and critical
times in the ministry Of Jesus. inme-
diately following the ruthless killing
Of John the Baptist. when concern
and fear reigned in the hearts Of the
little band of disciples. the Master
said to them: Come ye yourselves
apart into a desert place and rest
awhile" A significant passage is
added. There we're many coming
and going. and they had no leisure so
much as TO eat
The purpose OF the Masters call Is
quite evident He realized that con-
tention and excitement called for
quiet and reflection, and to that end
He called His disciples apart. In the
economy Of life We are reminded by
one OF the distinguished surgeons Of
New England that it should be di-
vided consistently into four parts,
namely, work, play, love and wor-
ship" II Is interesting to note that
he cosnmends play as indispensable
to well-ordered living. This is in
consonance with the old adage that
"All work and no play makes Jack
dull boy"
One Of the problems. possibly more
evident today than heretofore. is the
question of what to do with the
greater leisure afforded by shortened
hours for work. Mere idleness and
inaction is fraught with perils. To
take up the slack hours with some
form of useful and refreshing occu-
patton is a matter that will give much
concern to those who are interested
in the social and moral well-being Of
communities. Idleness In itself has a
tendency to provoke and encourage
unwholesome habits. This is particu-
larly true as it concerns the youth
Educators have come to realize that
sports and physical exercise con-
tribute much to the moral and physi-
cal well-being Of young men and
women. These constitute a legiti-
mate part of school and college cur
riculum. The argument for more of
leisure is just and consistent one.
The question. what to do with this
additional free time is large one
that will have to be faced in the near
future. The long period of school and

Senate Adopts Norris
Amendment, Then Votes
Principal Guarantee.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
BY a single vote the Senate decreed
yesterday that politics should be
taken out of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation and then passed an ad-
minEtration bill to guarantee the
principal of the bonds issued by the
corporation.
The amendment to bar politics in
appointments to the corporation was
adopted by vote of 40 to 33. Then
Democrats rallied their forces and,
after heated debate, attempted to
reconsider the action. They finally
lost by 35 to "a

ment guarantee of the principal as
well as the interest of the $4,000, ,OOO,-
600 of bonds designed to refinance
home mortgages, now goes to the
House. 1t was passed without even
record vote.
Norris Applauded.
While the galleries applauded. Sem
ator Norris, Republican, of Nebraska,
said the amendment was needed to
block "a sinking mess of political cor
ruption." Senator Nicely, Democrat,
of West Virginia, called the amend
ment the worst species of hum
buggery."
Norris said he offered the amend
ment "at the request of a part of the
Democratic administration who were
afraid, because they feared Demo-
cratic politicians would take their DO
lltical lives if they dared to let it be
known where they stood"
Charging that the Home Loan Cor
poratlon was "a political machine.

pendent said "the man selected by
Franklin D. Roosevelt to do that lob

He is thinking of the humble home

who has lost his job and had to have

he is thinking.

Norris said if the amendment were
defeated the corporation would "be-

like Franklin D. Roosevelt will be
swept aside"
Nicely. who led the move for recon-
sideration, said Norris was a man to
whom America was more indebted

John J. McGraw

Baseballs most colorful figure, on and
off the diamond, is dead. Several years
of recurring illnesses ended Sunday morn
ing the life of John ]. McGraw, former
manager of the New York Giants. Prob
ably there will be many who will dispute
our statement a few lines above. We
still insist that McGraw was brilliant
streak across the sport world. No more
pugnacious manager ever strobe up and
down before players bench than this
same McGraw. But he learned the game
when player had to be a fighter as well
as an athlete He was we'll schooled,
yet with all that he was a willy student
of the game as his many pennant-winning
teams will testify.
McGraw was only 60 years old, COM
paratively young when you come to think
Of it. But his dynamic life doubtless
shortened his life span considerably. A
manager for 80 years John j. McGraw
had to his credit ten league pennants and
three World Championships. He also
must be given credit for making stars of
great galaxy of players who came under
his tutelage. The list reads like Who's
Who of Baseball. And you mustn't lose
sight of the fact that McGraw himself
was one of the greatest third basemen the
game ever produced.
1t was his courage and fighting instinct
that made McGraw the topnotcher IN
baseball. When he entered the game nc
was only little fellow, short and slen-
der He never grew very tall in later
years after giving up the game, but he
did broaden out considerably. When he
came East to play with the Baltimore
Orioles he needed all his grit and fighting
spirit 1t didn't take long for McGraw
to manifest these traits and he soon was
treated with the respect due him.
New Workers still insist that there was
nothing that could bring the fans to their
feet like the, sight of McGraw dashing
out of the players dugout when the UNI
pire's decision riled him. Fists shaking,
face red, words pouring out in an end
less string he was sight to see. And
even banished from the field his mien
was such as to draw cheers from the
crowd Nothing brought him more. sue
cess in his chosen field than this same
characteristic And it kept him alive for
many months when other men, perhaps
with stronger constitutions would have
succumbed Yes, baseball loses an inn
mortal figure in John j. McGraw. May
his mantle fall on some worthy gentle
mans shoulders.

Removing The Crutch

Within the next ten weeks approx
imately 100000 American wage-earners
will lose their jobs. The Civil Works Adj
ministration is going ahead with it's plan
to discontinue operations by May l - by
which time, it is hoped, reviving Industry
will offer places for the men who are
turned loose About all the innocent by
stander can say about this move IS, i
hope it works." If it doesn't, the wrench
is apt to be severe one. And the PLAN
fact that this enormously expensive eva
program can't go on forever isn't much
comfort. The whole business leads one
to wonder if the much-talked-of public
works program may not after all, have
to be the crutch that we will lean on UNI
til we get past the depression period.
Putting men to works by the public
works route costs a lot of money. But
it at least gives us something definite IN
return - solid and lasting things, like
buildings, roads, canals, airports and the
like = to make the expenditure produc-
tive. And it does not contradict Itself,
as do so many of the emergency measures.
1t does not seek to overcome shortage
of goods by calling on people to produce
less and less of everything. 1t does not
seek to invent lot of nearly useless jobs.
1t does not raise grave questions about the
modification of our traditional system OF
industry and capital. 1t simply is
schemeJ whereby lot of badly needed
work can be done, lot of jobless men
can be put to work, and lot of idle cap
ital can be put in motion.
After all, when you stop to think about
it, there is enough work waiting to be done
in this country to keep us all busy for
generations to come. We talk of our idle
men and our idle money - and all the
while there are miserable slums to be re-
placed with decent homes, uncounted
miles of roadway to be built rivers to be
harnessed and controlled, canals to be dug,
power plants to be erected, public build
ings to be put up =. you could make out
an almost endless list.
We live in an enormous country which
is blessed with every natural resource, we
have an industrious and capable army OF
citizens eager to work, and the job of
supplying ourselves with an abundance OF
The necessities and Injuries Of life hardly
has begun. A public works program Is a
start In the right direction. II cutting
off the CWA helps US 10 realize that fact.
It will be worth all the trouble II may
cause.
