 the PWA Is Doing.D
 To carry forward a demonstra- tional program of low-cost housing and slum clearance the public works administration has allotted more than S146,O0O,000 from its original $3,3OO,OO0, fund.
 For many years it was conceded that more adequate housing for persons of low incomes was de- sirable objective, but nothing ever was done about it until ehe New Deal came along. President Roose- velt's intense interest in housing and eradication of sluns made it certain that low-cost housing would occupy an important place in the public works program. When the PWA got underway one of the problems facing it was the reluctance of private capital to lend assistance to a real low-cost housing program. Efforts were made to induce limited dividend corporations to seek loans from the government on easy terms About a score such allotments for loans were made. but in some in stances failure of the applicant O produce the small equity required resulted in abrogation of the all | locations.
 | Nevertheless, start was made and at the present time dividend housing projects are underway In | New York. Philadelphia, Euclid Ohio. Raleigh, N. D., and Alta Vista, Virginia.
 l In Atlanta, Ga, land has been acquired for two slum clearance and low-cost housing operations one for colored persons of low ln- come and the other for white. The Atlanta projects are the first un- dcrtaken by the Public Works Emergency Housing corporation A similar project has been launched in Cleveland, Ohio.
 Public Works Administrator Harold L. Ickes organized the housing corporation and the pres ident designated it as an agency under the national recovery act tc facilitate and expedite the housing program. This was done because of the relatively few meritoriotis applications from limited dividend corporations. It was realized bA the administrator and his housing advisers that if anything construc- tive were to be accomplished the work would have to be done hS the government itself.
 Overcoming innumerable diff. culties, including the rapaciousness of land owners who saw an oppor- tunity to hold up the government for handsome profits, the Public Works Emergency Housing cor. poration tackled the problem ear nestly and is now we'll along the road to a major achievement unique in American history.
 In addition to the Atlanta and Cleveland projects the housing corporation is about ready tc launch housing and slum clearance projects in a number of the larger cities. In order to defeat unscrup- ulous land profiteers the policy has been to withhold announcement of proposed projects until the ncces- sary land has been acquired The corporation prefers to acquire land | by purchase at a fair price, bat where negotiation fails it may rely upon its most potent weapon condemnation by the federal gov ernment

 Good Word for Mickey
 All Hollywood today is hoping that "The Lemon-Drop Kid" turns out to be one of our best pictures. And the reason is that Marshall Neilan is directing it. Once one of the biggest directorial figures in the film business, Neilan has been almost completely obscured during the last few years.
 His contract to direct "The Lem- on-Drop Kid" brings him back into the Hollywood spotlight. And ev- eryone in the film colony wants to see Mickey make good.

 That doesn't make any differ ence to Madge, though. It is a start back up toward her former position in the cinema heavens. And that's all she asks - just a chance to show that she can be as good as before.
 Despite the years she has been away from the cameras, Madge has changed very little in appear ance. She still has the same youthful face, the same large brown eyes and figure which would make anyone look at least twice. Only her hair is different, now being its natural brown in- stead of blond, as previously.

More About the Mental Side.


~ you wrote something last
week" comments r. L. r.
about the mental side Of
golf-the greater need for
concentration. Honestly, don't you
think that one Of the greatest troubles
in golf is that most Of us try to think
of too many things, and that the best
mental attitude simply is to step up
to the ball and swing the club with
out thinking about anything at all?"
1t wasn't so much the quantity of
the mental side we were discussing
but the quality. There isn't the
slightest doubt that too many golfers
try to think of too many things, with
the result that all such thinking be-
comes a blur and q smear.
The great trouble is that the aver
age golfer thinks about the wrong
things in place Of the right things.
You can't play golf without think
ing, any more than you can play
bridge without thinking-or foot ball
or base ball without thinking. 1t just
can't be done.

SOX COST YAWKEY
S500,0DO IN CASH
Two Years as Owner Is
Marked by Big Deals.
Cronin Buy Stands Cut.

Va yEw YORK, October 81 (R.-
M The determination of the
Y Boston Red Sox to build an
American League pennant
winner. regardless of the cost. is EN-
phasized by the purchase of Joe
Cronin, Washington shortstop and
manager.
The Boston club, controlled by Tom
Yawkey, millionaire lumberman of
South Carolina and New York. has
already spent approximately s500,000
for player material in two years, in
cluding the price, estimated as high
as s250.0o0. for Cronin.
A year ago the Red Sox paid about
sl50.000 to the Athletics for the
services of Lefty Grove Rube Wal
berg and Max Bishop. They bought
several young stars from the Yankees,
including Bill Werber and Lyn Larry,
who figures in the deal for Cronin.
Fancy prices also were paid for some
minor league talent. including Fred
Ostermueller. southpaw pitcher.
The Cronin deal ranks as the big
gest and one of the most sensational
in recent years. The Chicago Cubs
paid over 500. 900 for Rogers Hornsby's s
release from the Boston Braves in 1928,
in addition to turning over five play
ers valued at S50,000 The Cubs also
are said to have paid sl25 900 in cash
for Chuck Klein Of the Phillies a year
ago The price tag on Al Simmons,
sold by the Athletics to the White Sox,
was around 100000, with Mule Haas
and Jimmie Dykes included in the
deal.
Although Ruth's cash cost to the
Yankees in 1919 was around Sl35.000,
the deal involved far more than that.
inasmuch as Col. Jacob Rupert, the
New York owner. took over a mort
gage on the Boston ball park as part
of the transaction.

Washington's original youthful mas

clears the way for Buckys return to

When he signed a one-year con-
tract with the Red Sox last Fall
Harris said ''if I can't make good in
year, Ill not be worthy of another
chance" Bucking the most dis
couraging kinds of conditions, Harris
managed to finish the Red Sox in
fourth place. 1t was the first time
a Boston American League club had
finished in the first division since
1918 when it won its last pennant.
Base ball folk generally agree that
had Lefty Grove, great hurler bought
from the Athletics. not suffered a
sore arm. but performed up to ex-
pectations the Red Sox probably
would have landed a second place
berth if not the pennant
While the managerial broth seethes,
Grifith will have other things about
his club to consider. With such a
wad of money coming in from the
Cronin deal he will be in position
to purchase talent greatly needed for
the strengthening of his Nationals

Griffith today began wrestling with
the problem Of selecting a new leader
for his somewhat decrepit club.
Although the president of the Ma

an amount unprecedented in base ball

ference this morning with Stanley
Harris, who has been supplanted by
Cronin at Boston, and expected to
have applications of other candidates
for the post at hand for consideration.
Griffith steadfastly refused to COM
nit himself concerning any likely
candidate for the leadership of his
ball cluo, but did declare most en-
phatically that George Herman Ruth,
for years the American League S
greatest individual gate attraction,
will in no way be considered.

a managerial possibility here by me

These are the things to think about.
1t Is simple matter to concentrate
on a smooth backswing At the same
time it is a simple matter to see that
the left side turns, with the left hand
and left arm in control.
This certainly takes no Homeric
brain nor any Platonic mind. A child
OF 10 can be taught this trick or knack
in 80 minutes.
If you will keep thinking it is a

There must be an orderly process. -
as Alex Morrison puts it, but this
wont take care of itself, facing a
natural desire to wallop the ball.
The orderly process of swinging
must be directed by the mind or brain
All thought, addressing the ball, must
be removed from the act of hitting
which happens to be the climax Of
the swing. Several things must take
place before the clubhead can gain
contact with the ball in proper fashion.
AS Tommy Armour says: The
average intelligent person can con-
centrate on anything only about q
minute at a time"
This Is true. After one or two ef-
forts at concentration, most golfers
then take the right method for
granted.
Any one who thinks he can play golf
without an orderly process of thought
might just as well decide to Jump
