A Book a Day hy BRUCE CATION
With 50 Gents He
 Began World Tour

When Erling Tambs. young Norwegian novelist, got married he spent all his money on a 4O-foot sailing boat. Then he and his bride set out on a cruise around the world.
 They had less than 50 cents in cash, they lacked charts and navi- gation isntruments. and their boat even had no spare sails.
 Tambs tells about this unique honeymoon in "The Cruise of the Terry"
 By dint of sending stories back to q Norwegian newspaper, Tambs kept just enough of a trickle of cash coming in to buy supplies. He and his bride sailed leisurely down to the Canary Islands-and there Mrs Tambs gave birth to son. When the boy was 6 weeks old, they took him aboaBd and sail ed across the Atlantic.
 They went through the Panama Canal and set out across the Paci- fic. They visited the Marquesas and Tahiti and similar romantic spots, escaped disaster by virtue of their boats sturdiness and Tambs' sea manship, got to New Zealand arm there Mrs Tambs gave to daughter. Pretty soon they set out again, with two tiny children aboard.
 All in all, this amazing cruise lasted about four years. The boat finally was wrecked on. the New Zealand coast, and Tambs saved his family from drowning by the skin of their collective teeth. Then he sat down ard wrote this book; if 1t is progtable enough, they are going to buy new boat.

 Washington (UP) &- Like his chief in the White House, Secre- tary of Agriculture Henry A. Wal lace is popular with newspaper men. Sometimes. he cannot quite understand their impatience but he is friendly toward them and they admire him for his out spokenness and for his sly humor.
 There is not much that Wallace won't talk about if given the chance. His lieutenants guard that chance, however. They shield him and have begun to develop in him cautionness which it not native. His eyes twinkling upder shaggy, red brows, Wallace once in a While speaks his mind and nearly knocks his listeners off their chairs. Often he would let what he has said re- main said if it were not for the .uncomfortab ble looks and gestures of subordinates.
 Wallace often is more outspOken than he himself realizes. He can't quite visualize just how startling some of his remarks would look in print.

 The automobile which is pro- vided Wallace by the budget bureau is used to take an office assistant to work mornings while the boss is walking.
 Wallace's office staff is solicitous concerning his personal welfare. They were much relieved when he left on brief vacation without taking along a dictaphone. It was his original intention to do some work but they dissuaded him. Badminton His Game When the weather Is more' element Wallace plays 4 little leHHlS HOW AHd Ahtbs bso favorite game is badmintoh.

 With the retirement of Everett Sanders as national chairman of the republican party the last Coolidge influence will dis appear. That Sanders will resign seems to be common belief in g. o. p. circles There is no doubt that the rank and file of the party are anxious to reverse the 1882 election two years from now. Of course we democrats don't believe this is possible. Still there's no doubt but what the Sanders downfall is about due. It was rumored some months ago, but never came to pass. With congressional cleo tions in the offing we wouldn't be at all surprised to see movement afoot any day now to oust Sanders so that new boss would rule by early autumn. As we recall his election as chairman wasn't as enthusiastic as it might have been. We can readily understand the desire to re- lieve him now of his duties

Mayors of New York state are pretty we'll lined up now behind drive for state sales tax of 2 per cent. They warn that failure to provide some such means of extra revenue for their communities may result in municipal bankruptcies by the score We can readily believe this. The plight of most towns right now is the same. People are unable to meet taxes and other obligations of civic nature. We've got to make change one of these days. Our suggestion is return to the days when there weren't so many demands upon a municipality for improvements, etc. You can't cut taxes until you lower costs

fold It would be a dreadful nuisance to require, by law, the installation of auto matic governors limiting car speeds to 35 miles and hour, or some such figure. But it begins to look as if we shan't make our highways even reasonably safe until we put through some such drastic and costly safeguards. We must find some way of protecting ourselves from our own foolishness.

One day he is, the next he isn't. We speak of Secretary of the Navy Claude A. Swanson. There are those in Washington who maintain that the former senator hasn't enjoyed his tenure of office as head of the Navy Department. He would mu:h prefer the tranquil CD sessions of the senate.

Tigers plenty troublesome through
the home stretch Of the American
League pennant race. Road trips have
blocked the Yanks, but they're of
championship quality at home.
At home this year the Yanks have
licked the West in 80 of A games
Only one series has been lost to a
Western club in Yankee Stadium, that
to the Tigers. Out West, however, the
New York band has won but IA of
90 games.
This mysterious mediOcrity
out on the Plains more than
anything else is responsible for
their plight today.
1t was on the road that the Yankees
were checked last year. Then the
Nationals did to the New Yorkers
about what the Tigers are doing now.
The Mccarthy clans game at home
was inspired. Yet the club barely
broke even once it left the Bronx
battlefield. ...
Should the Yanks find some way
to knock off this road jinx, they might
make a race Of it right down to the
wire. They're not so far back they
