~ ATED, for some uncertain rea-
son, by the Knickerbocker
disaster in 1922, there took
- place in Washington minor
hegira probably noticed only by few.
This was the movement of the fra
ternity of colored expresSmen from
their old stand between Eighth and
Ninth on the Avenue to their present
one on Eighth, just below Constitu-
ton avenue.
Once a mixed group, this band of
outdoor truckers is now exclusively
colored. Through the years the few
white haulers who once bargained for
trade on this location have gradually
eliminated themselves and set up else
where.
Unwritten Agreement.
Although there are about is indi-
vidual truckers represented on this
corner, only five are permitted to park
there at one time. There is a sort OF
unwritten agreement among the men
regarding their rotation Of turns, this
despite the fact that each pays $50
year for the concession privilege to the
District.
A similar stand for the colored
truckers nestles alongside the Wash
ington Terminal tracks at First and
H streets northeast The concession
permits room for six trucks here, but
a consensus Of opinion indicates that
the sixth man is only part-time and
doesn't show up every day.
This hang-out had its genesis up
on California street about dozen
years ago, then the nucleus drifted
down to First and 6. Somewhere
around five years ago. the line of
truckers turned nose about and pointed
northerly toward H from whence its
segmentS now disengage from the
home body at intervals for the days
haulS.

Only his fingers protruded from the
lengthy sleeves. The blouse tapped in
the cold breezes-flapped as though it
were on a scarecrow in some farmers
corn field 1t was much too big for the
little newsie He was lost in it.
We looked at the boy. We wondered.
We became sorry all over again Hard
times these that force American young
sters and American grownups, too, 10
wear cast-off clothing too large for
them-or too small; or too ragged. Not
enough to wear in a land that pro-
duces too much. No wonder we were
sorry.
The youth was pitiful figure. And
we thought of the lad, of the blouse
that was too big and of warrior The
blouse was garment of war. 1t was
not difficult to think of war Weren't
the very papers that this lad of IA or
Is years was carrying-Weren't they
telling of war clouds lowering over
Europe2 Yes-of war and of threats of
war. Dictators, leaders, politicians, COM
mon citizens-most everyone talked of
the possibilities of war Many feared
the race of ornaments would end in
conflict-maybe not now, perhaps not
within the next two or three years;
but in the not far distant future
War looms. That seems certain BY
this time we had passed by the news
boy with the army blouse that was too
big. But we thought of him again Two
or three or four or five years from now
would he by that time have grown
into the garment? A few years and it
would fit him? No, we couldn't figure
il that way.
Another thought came The blouse
isn't too big for American youth
whether their ages be 15 Is, 20 or Is.
The garment of war is too little for the
boys of this nation and every other.
The youth of today have outgrown war
blouses. They are the ones who are too
big-too big for the tunics of war; too
big for war itself
Twenty years ago there were war
clouds in Europe. And war cane-the
most devastating conflict in all history
America entered that war to make the
world safe for Democracy. That war
failed, as all wars fail. With the clouds
of war again lowering over the Euro
pean horizon--it behooves America,
Europe and all nations to shun armed
conflict that the world may be made
safe this time for Democracy's most
precious possession: Youth--youth that
is too big for war.-Colorado Springs

What Other Editors Think
CHEAPER HOUSING.

Recently The Tribune published an
editorial from another newspaper COM
pairing the buying of automobiles with
the buying of homes. This article stated
that people were buying automobiles
before they bought homes and assigned
as the reason that the automobile in
dustry had put its product within the
reach of the masses, while home owner
ship is beyond the reach of the aver
age family
Now Purdue university has started
an experiment along these lines A
tract of 143 acres has been acquired
west of the university campus, where
homes of different types will be built
Experiments will be made in heating,
ventilation, air conditioning, insulation,
sewer construction, and types of build
ing materials The homes will be oc-
cupied by university professors and ac-
curate records kept of upkeep.
Owen D. Young is one of the back
ers Of this project and he predicts that
within the next few years more than
a million low priced homes will be
built in this country
From our own observation we believe
Purdue is on the right track Here in
this locality there is a demand for
modern low priced homes, but the cost
is too great for the average worker
This probably is due to a number OF
causes, and the Purdue experiment will
discover many facts which will enable
contractors to build better home at
lower cost.-Tribune, Chesterton

STATESMEN VS.. HYPOCRITES.

Every national or economic crisis
develops both statesmen and hypocrites
1t takes much less brains or courage
to be hypocrite than to be a states
man.
1t takes nerve to tell the truth to
people who have been misled or mis-
informed.
The State of Oregon is fortunate in
having a governor, General Charles H.
Martin, who sticks by his oath Of office
and says, When | was inaugurated
became governor of the whole people,
and that is what intend to be through
out my term
In dealing with the lumber strike in
Oregon and Washington, Governor
Martin sets an example for all public
officials in handling labor disputes. He
says:
Men have right to picket and The
right by moral suasion to try to get
other men to stay away, but when
thugs and scoundrels try to do what so
men from Portland tried to do to a mill
in Forest Grove, that's intimidation.
Everyone has the same rights under
the Constituton-man or woman, rich
or poor, white or colored.
IL a man wants to work and an
employer wants to hire him, that man
should be guaranteed the right to work.
No one questions the right of working
man to collective bargaining. If he
wants to improve his working condi-
tons, he has perfect right to quit"
That is sound Americanism and Gov
ernor Martin has made it clear that no
labor group or industrial group is 60
ing to infringe upon the. laws that were
drawn to protect all the people union
man or non-union, small employer or
large employer.
1t is good tonic to find a governor
making such straightforward statements
and backing them up with the police
power of the state to protect the life,
property and jobs of "all' the people.
That is courage, not hypocrisy.-Re-
publican, Rushville, Ind.

THE WORLDS HONORS.

The world has always honored highly
the people who do things the world
values. To carry out this thought, the
schools publish lists of honor students
Such recognition is useful, since these
students are frequently retiring young
folks, who are scarcely appreciated
outside their own neighborhoods
The colleges distribute honors in the
form Of learned degrees. The states
man who has solved national problems,
is made a Doctor Of Laws. The master
of social science is made a Doctor of
Philosophy The world does not pay
much attention to these learned degrees.
Yet in millions of humble homes, The
working hours are shorter and the chill
dren better fed, because of the labors
Of these men of research
Meanwhile the pitcher who can twist
a baseball 50 the baffled batter can't
locate it with his sWishing stick, may
be better known in his home city lhan
the constructive statesman or the pa
tient man of research The eccentric
path of that baseball does not do much
to make daily life more livable. But
the results thrill the bleachers to fren-
zies of excitement
The laborious scholar sits alone in
his silent study, and communes with his
books. But the football player who
can worm his way amid the tackling
opponents is carried off the field on
the shoulders of his comrades, while
the stadiums echo with the thunder Of
the rooters.
The highest honors ought to 90 to the
people who teach us to think, because
it is through thought that the world
escapes its troubles. We honor the peo-
pie who can throw a baseball faster
than the competing athletes. But we fail
to pay equal honors to the men of
science and philanthropy, who remove
the letters that hold men down to earth,
and thus enable humanity to make use
of its wings -Enterprise, Norwood,

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
BY United Press

Hollywood, the team that was
inquired Tor n second division berth.
Will battle Oakland for second
place In the Pacific coast league
standings in the new series opening
today.
-Four games behind the runners
up and eight and one-half out of
tirst place the movieland Sheiks di-
rected by Ole Frank Shellenback
moved into the San Francisco bay
area at the top of their game.
They swept their series against
Portland last week.
Baseball experts wonder what
keeps the club up. On paper it
doesn't rate with any others of the
first six teams. Pitching appears
TO be the main answer. Shellen-
back has been throwing them high
and low for 81 years in this same
circuit but his arm seems to be
made of rubber. He already has
won seven or eight games and lost
very few. He is getting results too
with the other moundsmen.
Hollywood can't overtake the
Oaks in the short series-three
games-but they can narrow the
gap they've been steadily closing in
the last few weeks. Oakland has
been playing only mediocre ball re-
Gently.
If the Sheiks falter against the
Oaks, they'll find themselves ousted
from third by the San Francisco
Seals, who are only one half a game
away and who like the movietown
team are hitting on all six cylin-
ders. The Seals take on the Mis-
sion Reds, seventh placers.
Los Angeles ought to have it easy
at Portland's expense but the An
gels experience with Sacramento
last week makes the champions
wary of second division teams.
Sacramento, with three wins over
the Angels in four games on their
record, entertain Seattle, the fifth
place outfit.

Bic LEAGUE
TEAMS SHIFT

NEW YORK, June II. UP)-In-
tersectional battles commanded the
attention of major league clubs to-
day, with National league teams
playing in the east and American
league clubs in the west.
Holding a lead of Az games over
their nearest rivals, the New York
Giants hope to entrench them
selves solidly in first place during
the next Is days at the Polo
Grounds, where they have lost only
three games this season.
Pittsburgh moved into a virtual
tie for second place by defeating
Cincinnati, AL, in the only major
league game yesterday. Both the
cardinals and the Pirates are Az
games behind the Giants but st.
Louis has an 008 percentage edge
on Pittsburgh, having played fewer
games
The Pirates accomplished the
rare feat of hitting three home
runs in succession yesterday when
Paul Waner, Arky Vaughan and
Floyd Young hit Tor the circuit IN
one inning. The record is four
in a row
With their only 300 hitter, Lou
Gehrig, nursing a badly sprained
right shoulder, the New York Yam
KEGS face tough competition in
their western junket. Three of the
western clubs, the White SoX, In
dians and Tigers, are swapping at
the. Yankees heels.
The Yanks open their western
invasion with six games in four
days at st. Louis, and have post
poned games to playoff in Chicago
and Detroit. 1t is possible for the
Yanks to lose their lead today if
they should drop both games to
the Browns and the White Sox
sweep their twin bill with Wash
ington.
