 If the plan is approved, the em. pIoyes, now numbering about 14O, would be increased to between 400 and 500. Attorney Weisman said. That would be necessary in order to fill the orders that are now pending. These orders, he said, cannot be completed under the present set up of the company, be- cause their completion would run into considerable time.

Only Crime WOuIG Remain

IF all the trades adopted the same attitude then
crime, which has no rules of eligibility would be
the only calling left open. The baseball industry
which claims the character of a national institution
and chivalrouS sport was willing to establish the
precedent
1t is not like the judge, as people know him who
know him at all, to chew his words he did in the
mouthy opinion which accompanied his yes-and-no
verdict on Alabama Pitts, his weakness in crisis
which called for no great firmneSS gives one of his
old friends to wonder whether he has pulled liga-
ment in his humpton. Bramham at least laid it on
the line but any one who can tell where Lands laid
1t in his long page of words would be fit to tackle
some OF the state papers of Warren G.. Harding or
the Grass Roots platform of Springfield and search
the seams for meaning. Lands hid it.
First he agreed completely with dead-wrong
Bramham. Then he decided that Pitts might play
nevertheless.
LAS originally presented" he wrote, this case in
volved only general question: which they Dram
ham and the minor league directors) decided prop
erly as their duty required"
What they decided was that an ex-convict could
not apply to an industry claiming special privileges
as the ideal of American craftsmanship for employ
ment as a player.
Since then, however" said the judges writing.
"a new situation has arisen. Conditions have been
created as result of which there can not be much
doubt as to the destructive effect upon Pitts efforts
toward rehabilitation of not permitting him to en-
ter baseball employment.
This was not contemplated by nor was it due to-
the ruling of the president and the executive COM
mttee of the National Association"

The Rescuer Is Slammed Dolrn

THE victim was quite dOcile and accomplishing
- when the bronzed executive with the lifebelt
pulled him out Of the undertOw. Indeed the stricken
swimmer made no complaint Of any sort until he
could feel the pebby beach once more beneath his
feet But the instant the victim found that he could
once more up and that the water did not come
above his chest he suddenly drew back his fist and
socked the hfeguard IN the nose That's what you
get for your unnecessary interference said the
gentleman who was but recently gurgling and
reaching for a straw. THAT Will teach you not to
cucumber me with quite needless attention. If YOU
don't let go Of my arm I may succumb in this
shallow water which I can wade through easily
without YOUR nOxIOus interference"
But" exclaimed the bewidered lifeguard. Il
thought that YOU we're drowning. After all, you
did scream Help! Helpl HelpV"
We'll" admitted the victim reluctantly. 1t is
barely possible that did. But, after ALL that was
when We were in deep water. And by now I feel
entirely certain that I could have Swum back to
land entirely by myself In fact could have done
so much more quickly if YOU hadn't come along
with that clumsy life preServer. Please let's forget
the entire incident. Pretend YOU never saw me
before IN your life. I'm on my own and I always
have BEEN

told Of the episode at home he could not help but

and foundering in the need Of aid but it was Ger

They'd Bar an Umpire

~ still the same man he was the day he was re-
leased and with the same record There might De an
other good ball player coming out of Joliet or Fl
Madison tomorrow, strictly on the quiet with a
chance to take job on the New York Yankees who
would receive no benefit from the judges verdict on
the Pitts case. Pitts had walked out the gates into
covey of reporters and photographers and the pub
Hclty given his case apparently constitutes the I'M
usual situation which the judge mentions Another
prison athlete being turned out without publicity and
hlred merely as an unknown prospect would be in
eligible under the ruling which Lands indorses as
general principle.
lnasmuch as most prisoners are released without
publicity Lands would bar all but the rare few who
are made conspicuous by lucky circumstances
The judge did reveal something which had not
ceen given to Pitts public before, namely that the
court which convicted him found that he had taken
part IN six robberies not Perhaps in mentioning
tha he meant to suggest that Pitts ought to be sent
back to Sing Sing for few years more But if so ha
didn't have the frankness to say So AS the ruling
stands there was for bringing it up at all
and he was Just gossping.
In the baseball business they would fire an UNI
pre or lay him off for decision as bad as this one

Your Health
by DR.. MORRIS FISHBEIN =

WINDOWS and lighting play very definite
w and valuable role in maintenance and i'm
provement of health.
Engineers have been so much concerned with
Improvement in artificial lighting that they do not
to have taken full advantage of the posi-
btes of natural daylight In fact, most buildings
nowadays are constructed with the idea that any
natural light which happens TO filter in will be
accepted, but enough artificial light can always be
added to make illumination adequate.
OF course it is necessary in studying use Of
windows for lighting to consider also the questions
Of ventilation and regulation of temperatures.
HISTORICALLY, Italy is credited with having
l. had the first glass windows, next France and
then England but windows actually did not come
in to any extent until around 1177 It was not until
the eighteenth century that fiat glass became gen.
orally used i'll windows.
The value Of light should require no argument
When sunlight is admitted through open windows it
aids sanitation and helps prevent ricketts, When sun
light passes through glass windows the ultraviolet
rays are filtered out but at the time the
natural light is exceedingly valuable for reading
and for work.
Furthermore the human eye seems to be better
adapted to natural light than to artificial light
In recent consideration Of this subject several
prominent physicians considered particularly proper
lighting in public schools. This involves of glass
in manner not thus far generally adopted
In the same way much attention is being given
to proper use in Offices and factories of windows
extending to the ceiling and in cases occupying
the entire wall above desks or benches which workers
occupy
because glare is bad for the eyes it is necessary
- to equip all windows with suitable shades and
it also necessary to place the workers in such way
that they will not be facing the light.
Engineers have worked out means for deter
mining the amount of light coming into rooms from
natural sources so that builders of buildings may
be aware of amount of light available and plan &C.
cordingly for artificial light

along as any ones, and he's been
in bed all the time"
That's worth something" put
in 10y. I'VE know that won't
keep up after we leave here.
We'll all be scattered"
Up in Big Valley near Loyston
lives old man Emanuel (Mank)
10y, grandson of a first settler.
Mank 10y is "a years old, bare
ly able to get about. But he will
have to move, too. He is philo-
sophical, however.
Smarter men than ME are
working this thing out" he said,
and I guess it ought to be all
right. They've cut down the trees
and torn down the buildings, and
things don't look right any more.
So I guess it's time to be getting
along"
Perhaps age brings this philo-
sophical resignation, for you find
it also in Mrs. S. j. Butcher, 81,
whose home at Loyston will soon
be under 100 feet of water.
1--WE might as we'll get it over
with" she says calmly.
II
TVA is doing much more than
Il simply buying these people out.
1t has set up relocation de-
partment under Prof. Pat Kerr,
former school superintendent at
La Toilette. This department
tries to put dispossessed valley
people in touch with farms suit
able to their needs outside the
area.
Not all of them take advantage
of this service, and many have
been talked into buying small
tracts along the road on which to
build new houses.
Here is j. H. Smith, carpen-
ter, putting the finishing touches
on a new house between Jacksboro
and La Toilette.
Il lived in the part of Caryville
that's going to be flooded" he says.
Il had q siX-room house that was
twenty-five years old and an acre
of land. 1 took the money IVA
gave me for the place and bought
three acres of land and built this
house. I'm better off than I was
before"
You note that some Of these
new houses in territory around the
new lake site are built of new
lumber. some of old. That's be-
cause IVA buys mans land and
house and then let's him take
away as much of the house as he
wishes to his new home.
BY Dec. l the job will have been
finished. Three thousand farm
and village families, 1913 tenant
farmers, and some $50 more fam
lilies in the Clinch-Powell PENN
sula will have found new homes.
1t is one of the biggest NOV
ing days the country ever has seen.

UNCLE SAM TURNS MOVING MAN


WE took the money IVA
w gave us for this three-room
house and 206-acre farm ana
bought US a fve-room house on
a 79-acre farm. We made good
deal" he said.
Real estate men bothered the
lives out Of US. but I wouldn't DO
business with them. A relative
told me about this farm bought.
There was a 5000 mortgage on
it. I offered $1,000 for the place,
but the owner said 'twasn't enough.
Just before the mortgage came
due, could have gone to the
bank and bought it for The $500
mortgage.
But I said it was worth more
than that and I wouldn't cheat.
I couldn't sleep well if 1 did a
thing like that So I paid off the
mortgage and gave the man 5000
to boot
"TVA has been a blessing to
most Of the people in the reser-
voir. and most Of us are going
TO better ourselves by moving out.
I haven't heard a word of COM
plant about the IVA men who
did the appraising and buying.
I'm glad IVA came along, and
I think there's plenty like me-"
ITHE store of Emert Loy is on
Il the east side of the Clinch
River where it leaves Big Valley.
This point will be many feet
under water.
I'm letting my stock of goods
run low" says 10y, because 1
know I'll have to get out by Dec.
l. But I haven't sold the store
or the farm. We're not being
offered enough"
10y warmly defends the hilly,
rocky land of this vicinity as be-
ing 'as fine pasture land as you'll
find in the country" Then Henry
Bledsoe. owner of a 94-acre farm
in Bi, Valley, joins the converse
ton.
You know what?" he volun-
teers. 81 got a farm I paid $500
for, and $500 for the buildings,
$4,000 in all. And IVA comes
along and offers me $1,000. Do you
think that's right?"
Bledsoe rejects a suggestion
that maybe he paid too much for
his place, and 10y chimes in
again: You never hear of a farm
offered for sale in Big Valley.
They're too good.
"A man can have a farm here,
fool around, not do much, and
make a good living. And another
thing: people around here are
like one big family. Everybody
knows everybody else. If anybody
gets in trouble, his neighbors help
him"
"THERES a boy up the valley
Il had pneumonia" offers Bled-
soc. He took sick just at the
time to get in his crops. What
happened? His neighbors put 'em
in for him; they're just as far
