THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The Ponderosa is a great tomato.
If we had ever doubted 1t, the thought
was silenced forever by the first taste
of those great juicy slices.
Two more bites and we were a convert.
Mere size, in fruits and vegetables,
sometimes spells tastelessness, but with
this wonderful tomato the reverse is true.
Properly vine-ripened, the Ponderosa,
for all of its elephantine shape, has a
delicate rich flavor not outdone, in our
opinion, by any other tomato on earth.
There is a certain satisfaction in seeing
those tremendous slices on a fine ivory
dish.
Ivory. rather than white, is the modern
favorite. 1t gives, to many eyes, more
pleasing background to food.
Our fine big tomato, however, would
look equally we'll on a plate of purest
white, or even on the blue willow pattern.
Few foodstuffS on the American table
have a more romantic history than this.
1t shares with tobacco, to which family
it belongs, the distinction Of being an
American plant, although it came origi-
nally from the Southern portion of the
Western Hemisphere.
Spanish explorers took the seeds from
Mexico and grew them in the Old World,
where the fruit for a long time was
called love-apple.
In time much superstition clustered
about the round spheres of luscious good
ness. One of these was that the tomato
caused cancer. Whispers of this may still
be heard in the backwoods, but certainly
nobody has taken them seriously for
many, many years.
No one possibly could have known,
however, those several centuries ago, just
how widespread the use of this fruit
it is properly that, although perhaps most
persons call it vegetable-Was to become
in the twentieth century.
Today it is a household delicacy the
year round. not only in its natural shape
and form, but also as juice in tins, in
the form of the so-called tomato cocktail.
4 Il **
There are several hundred varieties of
tomato grown today most of them mere
variations of Lycopersicum esculentum
var. commune, as the horticulturists
write it.
This means that many righteous
Americans who might grow red in the
face at the mere mention Of commune"
readily eat a natural product which the
ingenious mind of some botanist gave a
red" name.
If there ever was a red fruit. of
course, the tomato is it, but the va
riety" name came about through the
fact that the fruit is divided into cells.
Some of Russia's political divisions have
been known as cells" we believe, in
reference to the cells of the honeycomb,
product of those first communists, the
bees
The Spanish word for tomato is
tomato derived from the Mexican
"tomatl."
Our edible tomato belongs to the Lyco-
persicum. genus of the family Solan-
aceae. which includes the potato, tobacco
and the eggplant, natural products so
far apart in appearance and uses that
no one could be blamed for not realizing
their relationship. That is where the
scientist comes in. He it is who has, as
his life work. inclination and time and
means to study carefully the signs of
relationship which escape the rest of us.
Red ripe tomatoes" as the oldfash-
ioned Washington hucksters used TO
sing them through the streets, are so

The Series Starts.

Today begins the world series. 1t Is
an annual event toward which a great
many Americans look throughout the
regular playing season of games between
the teams of the two major leagues. To
win league championship means cut
of the big money of the series. To win
the world championship" means the
bigger portion of that cut. The incentive
to the individual player to strive for this
opportunity for financial reward-not
to speak of the sporting satisfaction of
league supremacy-is sufficient to put
every player on his mettle throughout
the season.
But the series is more than money
proposition. Great as may be the turn
over for these final games, there is a
certain glory in them, and each unit of
the contending teams, from pitching star
and batting leader down to the bat boy
shares in it. For little while all are
national figures, with chance to be
veritable hero through some phenomenal
play, some sensational smash at a critical
point of the deciding contest.
Names of players who are never, seen
by millions of followers of the game
become household words throughout the
land as year after year the series dates
draw near and at last arrive and the
games start. In cities where teams rep
resenting both leagues are established
these personages are more widely known.
In the one-league cities many of them

AnglO.French Tension.

Dispatches from London and Paris,
especially those quoting unfriendly ref
erences to Great Britain in the French
press, must make agreeable reading in
the Palazzo Venezia at Rome, where, ac-
cording to all accounts, Mussolini is on
the verge of giving the signal for his
African legions to invade Ethiopia. 1t
is increasingly evident that, despite lip
service to the League at Geneva by both
Sir Samuel Hoare and Premier Laval,
their respective governments are still
wide apart on the question of joint ac-
ton for imposition of sanctions against
Italy.
1t is now confirmed that Great Britain
has formally requested from France
precise indications OF her intentions,
especially as to what she would do in
ranean should be the victim of an
Italian attack. The cabinet is scheduled
to meet in Paris on Friday. Mean
time there are hints savoring strongly
VI O4AlCldL GIldL E1d1lSC 40
unwilling to go any further in support
of Britain than Britain is ready to 60
in case of an attack on the French by
Germany, or in the event of Nazi
"putSch" in Austria or Memel. This
weeks statement by the British foreign
secretary Enthusiastically revealed British
reluctance to give a blanket pledge of
armed aid in any and all European cir
cumstances. Sir Samuel Hoare affirmed
categorically that Britain feels obligated
under the League Covenant to clear for
action only in the event Of "unprovoked
aggression" and he emphasized that
there are degrees of culpability" which
would have to be taken into considera-
ton.
Press outburstS in Paris show that these
British assurances" smack too much of
the platonic and the non-committal to
justify France in undertaking in ad-
vance to resort to measures that might
rupture her friendship with Italy. We
would be playing the fool,'' exclaims
LIntranSigeant, If we were to sacrifice
the entente with Italy by engaging in
an adventure in which we have every
thing to lose and nothing to gain, and
without receiving from Britain the
slightest compensation" journal des
Debats speaks even more pointedly:
Our freedom of action is equal to that
of Britain. We are absolutely at lib
erty to say that we have no intention
of becoming involved in the Ethiopian
affair, and that, while we respect League
principles, we think that in this par
ticular case we ought not to take part
in sanctions" Liberte epitomizes French
sentiment by declaring f1at-footedly: I'VE
will in no case make war against Italy"
If such remonstrances and inhibitions
reflect the French governments atti-
tude, the British face grave dilemma
in the matter of sanctions. They insist
that such action must be collective"
and that they will not act single-handed.
1t may be that the whole project of
punitive measures against Italy will go
to smash on that rock, and with it
League prestige. London's anxieties are
revealed by the announcement that it
is sounding both the United States and
Germany on the question of sanctions
and their readiness to cooperate in en-
forcing them.

The Rallying Cry.

President Roosevelt calls upon the
liberals of all sects to get behind the
New Deal. He offers it as a common
ground upon which they may unite. In
sum and substance such is the essence
of his informal talk to seventy-hve thou
sand men and women in Los Angeles
yesterday The Southern California city
As the hotbed of "isms." Upton Sinclair
and Dr. Townsend, famed for their
E.P. I. C. and old-age pension plans,
have followers there galore, and SO have
the lesser Utopian prophets. 1t is
fertile field. If the Roosevelt appeal Is
effective, and if these various factions
of liberalism line up for the New Deal
next year, California, in the past so
strongly Republican, may be again founo
In the Democratic column.
In his brief address to the Californi-
ans the President was not compliment
Iary to men and women of conservative
stamp. He pictured them as content 10
stand in one spot, easily united because
they demanded only inaction. AS for
the liberals, who joyously demand ac-
ton. Mr.. Roosevelt said their greatest
difficulty lay in the fact that they sought
to reach the same end by different
routes. They fight like tigers for their
own pet particular schemes.
Obviously it is no easy task to persuade
all liberals to jump on any particular
bandwagon. They are rebels to begin
with. Yet Mr.. Roosevelt has per-
suasive tongue. Just so long" he says,
"as the least among us remain hungry
or uncared for or unable to find useful
work, Just so long must it be the task
of all government, local, State and Fed
eral, to seek reasonable but progressive
means to assist the unfortunate. The
faith of liberal is profound belief not
only in the capacities of individual men
and women, but in the effectiveness OF
people helping one another. California
has many splendid examples Of the use
fulness of human cooperation"
The security program, economic and
social. of the Roosevelt administration
was referred to by the President. I'VE
have moved forward to give greater Sc
curity to the unemployed and to the
aged" The President made no mem
ton of the Townsend plan, with its
s2oo-a-month payments to be made to
every citizen sixty years of age or more.
But he told the Townsendites indirectly
that their hearts were in the right
place The followers of Upton Sinclair
were patted on the back. The Demo-
cratic factions in California have been
at bitter odds in recent months. And
the task of the Roosevelt campaign
leaders is to find common ground on
which they may unite to keep the State
from falling into the hands of the Re-
publicans.
Song and legend tell of famous rail-
road engineer, Casey Jones by name,
who came to sad end in head-on coll
lision. Lest the liberals in California,
and perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt himself, meet
such a fate, the rallying cry now goes
forth:
Come all ye liberals from near and far,
Get yourselves job with F. D. r.

Apology.

Apology.
There comes with every rising sun
A shudder of each nerve.
We wonder what we can have done,
Such terror to deserve.
We argue on in dull dismay,
Some Power great and wise
May choose to punish in this way
Let's all apologize.
We boastfully proclaim a creed;
We hail 1t as the best.
All things except our prayers we read,
In anger and unrest.
The trumpet's blare, mid proud display,
Still fills us with surprise.
Perhaps we'll just kneel down some day
And all apologize.

are merely names and portraits IN print
The series brings them into focus of
attention and acquaintance.
Who will be the star of this series and
who the goat? There is one OF each
class every year-some player whose per-
formance makes distinctly for victory or
for defeat. Last year there was perhaps
more color" in the ranks of the con-
tenders than this year, owing to the
presence of that unique pair of pitching
brothers whose performances on the dia-
mond are always dramatically entertain
ing. This set of games finds no especially
outstanding personality on the field. But
it is virtually certain that when the games
have ended and the final score is recorded
and the big bunting Of world champion
ship" has been won by either Detroit or
Chicago there will be one name that will
sound most loudly and frequently in the
post-game discussion-perhaps in blame;
perhaps in praise.
OF one thing the base ball public, which
is very large fraction of the people of
the country, is assured. The games are
on the square. The best team wins-or
maybe the luckiest. AL question Of
chicane and hippodroming and fraud has
been cleared away. AS the gong sounds
today for the opening contest in Detroit
millions Of Americans will feel thrill of
pride that this great national sport once
again reaches its climax with the positive
assurance that every participant is doing
his best and that the games are being
played absolutely on the level.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Children of Dusk.

There is an hour that calms the at
And tranquilizes earth,
Silencing clamor everywhere
And giving souls re-birth;
Sweeter the song birds madrigal,
Softer the citys din,
The dews that fall and cover all
Seem to blot out the sin.
1t is the hour of mystic peace.
There is no stress or need
Within the heart, but brief surcease
From toll and demon speed.
Imminent looms the festive night,
The day is but husk-
Even the worldlings in twilight
Are children of the dusk.
