Sweepstakes will have two Phila-
delphia bowlers vying for honors

John Bauers, another Philadel-
phian with a fine reputation,

From UP in Connecticut, where
duckpin bowling is gradually tax
ing it's place among the major
sports, comes word that the New
Englanders have their dander up
and nothing will satisfy them but
the Mems Dixie Sweepstakes
crown.
Connecticut bowlers have copped
all sorts of national titles, but
have never caShed in on the
Dixie's pot Of gold. However, Con-
necticut has a grand opportunity
of taking back some of the Dixie'S
cash prizes Saturday night, what
with such renowned maple smash
ers as Jack White, Nick Tronsky,
Tony Iannarone, William Williams,
Mike Bogino, Bill Toto, Joe
Gocek and Joe La Mastra carry
ing her colors in the classic.
TrOnSky Is No.
Nick Tronsky is the No. rank.

States, while Jack White is the
No. / honorary duckpiner Of our
country. Iannarone, Williams and
La Mastra were members Of the
Connecticut Yankees when they
won the National team champion
ship during the 1934-35 season.
Tronsky and White are sched-
uled to roll Bob Temple and Perce

attSville Arcade tomorrow night

Astor Clarke who walked off
with the crown in 1888 by shoot
ing zoos, the highest score rolled
in the Dixie since its beginning in
1881, says he is as fit as fiddle
and he'll be in the money when
the final scores are recorded.
Clarke finished third last year
and was awarded $125.
Bill Arnold, last years winner
Is confident, but not over con-
fident, that he will retain his
crown Saturday. He Is going
great guns in Annapolis and Bal
timore major leagues, carrying
better than 100 average.
Dark Horse
The dark horse in the Dixie
is none other than Gordon
Scible, pal and fellow citizen of
Arnold. Scible received SITS for
finishing second in the event
last year.
Richmond sincerely believes
that Gordon Caldwell will give
the select field plenty of trouble
and with a few breaks will sur

FIRE CHIEF OF DOUGLAS
 GIVES TALK
Jensen Addresses Pupils of High School, Seventh
 and Eighth Grades

"The annual loss through fire ill the United States is over $5o0.000,- GOO and the joss of life totals more than 10000 said Douglas Fire Chief Mark Jensen, when he spoke to the Douglas High School and the seventh and eighth grade pu- pills yesterday afternoon.
 This loss" said MT. Jensen, IS about ten times greater than in the European countries. It is per haps due to the fact that the Eu- ropean countries are older and more efficient"
 MT. Jensen said that the two chief features in fire prevention are legislation and education.
 The pupils were cautioned to report immediately any real or ap- parent danger, such as loose bricks in chimneys, falling mortar, etc.
 Oil burners too, should be care fully watched and inspected regu- larly.
 After the fine talk by MT. Jen- sen, a fire drill was had. The building was cleared in one-half minute and the pupils were highly complimented by the chief for their quick and orderly exit.
 Particularly appropriate for the occasion were his remarks as it was the ninth anniversary of the last big conflagration experienced here.

Paw the Debt NOW

The Government now owes and has promised to pay to
veterans of the World War approximately two thousand
million dollars.
If that money isn't paid now contemplated in the Pat
bill discharge the soldier debt but is left until 1915
the veterans instead of getting two thousand million dollars
will get VIRTUALLY NOTHING AT ALL.
This of the angles Of the fight for the Patman bill
which frequently overlooked but nevertheless fact
that postpone payment until 1916 will that the vet
who has the Governments promsory note for about
$500 will be able to collect only a few dollars.
yet opponents of the Patman bill say that the exsoders
will need money in 1915 than they need it now
Maybe they will need it BUT THEY WON'T GET 1T.
They won't get because the interest what the
his adjusted service certificate WILL by 1945 have
eaten up the principle
These adjusted service certificates which the veterans hold
have face value the average of $1,000 Eghtyve per
cent of the veterans have borrowed $500 each the ce

By 1915 much interest will have been added the debt

Listen, World
By Elsie Robinson

tacks, no one has ever been able
to prove that the average fight
ing farmer Of ITS had any par.
ticular intelligence to transmit.
Both farmers and soldiers are
extremely useful citizens, to
whom the nation they serve
should be deeply grateful. But
one wonders who started this
cockeyed idea that they were
Master MindS-or even desired
to be.
Even after more than a CEN
fury of educational advantage,
the mental tests taken at the
time of the World War proved
that the average soldier had the
intellectual development of a
child of IL! This is nothing
against the average soldier.
There are plenty of qualities
fully as desirable as the art of
heavy thinking. But it does
prove that if you must have
brains in the family tree you'll
do far better to pick a grandpa
who was a smart horse trader.
or a slick crap shooter then one
who filled the front line trenches.
A TEST
These are not merely smartie
remarks. They are the most
solemn truth-and never so
drastically needed as now. We
Americans have gone on for
generations kidding ourselves
that we were tough guys simply
because the Pilgrim Fathers and
other rambunctious rebels and
radicals were.
And so sure are We Of our
divinely insured inheritance of
brain and Drawn that most of
us make no slightest effort to
even discover whether we pos
sess them in ourselves, much
less get busy on the job of
accommodating them.
If you want to test the callber
of the average modern who
boasts, so noisily, that he Can
Take It, just ask one Of 'em out
for a. week in the country, sans
movies, daily papers, street cars,
electric lights and trick plumb
ing-and see how fast he de-
velops a date with his dentist.
The nasty truth, fellow citi-
zens, is that we've gotten so
cowardly, conceited and sloppy
soft that our rugged, lousy half
starved fighting grampaWs
would use language this paper
wouldn't print if any of us tried
to claim relationship.
And if we don't start, damn
soon-and mean DAMN SOON
to do something about it, the
husky, unlettered bush jewellers
of the universe, who haven't
any D. A. R. or other cultural
advantages, are promptly going
to arise and kick the pants of
us.
