in New York In 1905. At first his act
was purely a routine Of rope tricks,
and he is still considered one Of the
worlds rope experts. Finally he be-
gan to insert homely observations on
current events into his act, and en-
thusiastic audiences begged for more.
Rogers began to receive national
recognition when he was engaged by
Ziegfeld for the Follies and the Night
Frolics in 1914. The ever present
chewing gum, his crooked grin, and the
lock of hair which dangled in his eyes
were known to everyone. Whether he
talked to audiences of thousands, to
Presidents and cabinet ministers, or
to q group Of ranch hands he still had
the manner of the Oklahoma cowboy
sitting on a corral fence and comment
ing on the weather and the affairs Of
the nation.
1t was through his writings, how
ever, that he was best known and
loved. His daily newspaper feature
was read by millions, and his weekly
column carried by the nations largest
dailies and also syndicated to weeklies
by Western Newspaper Union carried
his observations into the majority of
American homes. No matter how busy
he might be, or what affairs were
pressing he always took time to pre-
pare his column himself. A motion
picture might be in the making, with
expenses of hundreds of dollars each
minute going on, but Rogers never failed
his newspaper readers. Each day he
would retire to some corner of the set,
and while directors fumed and pro-
ducers walled, he turned out his regu-
lar stint.
Few people today realize the extent
Of Rogers writings. Among the books
he wrote were Rogerisms-The Cow
boy Philosopher on Prohibition; Roger
lsms-The Cowboy Philosopher on the
Peace Conference, 1919; Rogerisms-
What We Laugh At; Illiterate Digest;
Letters of a Self-Made Diplomat to
His President, and There's Not Bath
Ing Suit in Russia.
His writings were unique. Under
their cloak of humor there was an un-
derlying common-sense that came from
man raised close to the soil. He
knew the people of America and his
sage comments-often only few lines
often carried more wisdom and more
weight than pages by another. Al
though his fame was worldwide, and
his income enormous he never lost the
| common touch. To the end he was
Will Rogers, and his line "All l know
is what l read in the newspapers" be-
came almost a trademark.
Just before he left on the fatal
flight, he told correspondents that he
was going to spend the winter with
some of Alaska's old sourdoughs-
swapping stories, hearing their tales OF
adyentures-andf finding in their asso-
citation the old pioneer humor OF his
boyhood days. And because he was
win Rogers he would have found 1t
lust as entertaining as though he had
never found success beyond his Wild
est dreams.
America is better because of VIII
Rogers. He brought viewpoint that
is almost lost today-that OF those
sturdy people who forged their way
info the West, their slow. dry humor
and their hard headed attitude toward
life. Millions will feel personal loss
when they pick up the paper and
Rogers comment is no longer there.

A/ dEN the FreSlueHIS social Sc
w curity bill was finally enacted in
to law, the senate adopting the confer
ence report already agreed to by the
house, probably many thousands Of
men and women al, over the country
began figuring on the pensions they
would receive under its terms. 1t is
unlikely that one in a thousand has
any clear idea of how the new pro-
grams pension system will work, SO
we reprint here a neat summary pre-
pared by the Associated Press show
ing its operation as applied to "Bill
Jones':
Suppose young Bill is twenty when
the law goes into effect and makes an
average monthly salary of 500 until
he is sixty-fve. He will get monthly
pension, until his death, Of $53.75.
"In detail. here is what will happen
to him:
"In the calendar years 1887, 1888,
and 1889 he will pay salary tax Of
/ per cent, or total of $36 for the
three years. In 1910, 1914, 1912 he will
pay TX per cent, or $54. In 1913, 1914,
and 1915 the tax will be 2 per cent, or
$72. In 1916, 1947, and 1913 the tax
will be 2h per cent, or 500. From
1919 to 1881, inclusive, the tax will be
per cent, or a total of $1,1S8.
"Thus, in As years, Bill Jones will
have paid in $1,440. All the time his
employer will have been matching his
tax payments, so the total paid to the
federal treasury will be $3.50.
"At sixty-fve Bill Jones can expect
to live perhaps 10 years more. If he
does, he will get back $6,450.
"When Bill Jones dies this IL what
will happen:
"His average annual salary will be
multiplied by the number Of years he
paid taxes. In other words, If he dies
after he has paid taxes for As years,
81, 200 viii be multiplied by 45-glving
total of $4,000. Arbitrarily, the bill
stipul2tes that Bill Jones' estate shall
be entitled to 31s per cent of that, or
$1,S90-less any amount he received in
pensions before he died.
"If Jones dies before he gets back
$3.50 in pensions, what he actually
received is deducted from $3.50 and
the remainder paid to his heirs. If he
lives until he gets back all Of the
$3.50 and more, his heirs get nothing.
"If Jones should die before he
reaches sixty-five, his heirs would be
entitled to a payment of S1k per cent
of the total wages on which taxes had
been paid"

ST. LOUIS, Sept. p. (CP)-
1t rained in, on and around
Sportsman's Park Thursday, so
the Chicago Cubs will have two
chances today to clinch the Ma

Chicago has to take only one

If the unexpected should happen
and the cards take both games,
the Cubs will have Saturday and
Sunday to win the necessary
game that would make them cham

The biggest obstacle for the
Cubs today is expected to be

first game. If Dizzy guessed right

race this weekend.
While Tulane and Alabama 5

campaigns with "breather" oP9o-

Tulane's inter-conference game
with V. NJ. /. at New Orleans.
The Vanderbilt Mississippi
State battle as the opener of the
conference race.
With three days of intensive
practice and scrimmage behind
them, Dixie's gridiron warriors
tomorrow begin to taper off pre-
paratory to the weekend action.
Virtually every team of the south
land has completed a three-day
period Of hard work.
Vanderbilt's preparations for
the Mississippi State invasion were
harnpered by absence of Coach
Ray Morrison, called away by the
death of his father. Morrison,
however, was to be on hand to-
morrow to send his proteges into
a final hard session to whip them
into shape for what Is expected
to be one of their most difficult
assignments.
After three days during which
Rice formations were thrown at
them in ceaseless repetition, the
L. S. U. Tigers drew up for a
brief breathing period tonight and
will coast through light drills on
Thursday and Friday before their
intersectional tilt. Scouts who
watched the Owls in action this
year have reported them further
advanced than at this time last
year and the Tigers are prepared
for one of the toughest games Of
their schedule.
S. E. c. coaches who this year
are shooting for the conference
championship, will keep one eye
cooked on Cincinnati when Ken
