DELAYED DIPLOMACY
Bv WICKES WAMBOLDT

The hired man was at work rak-
ing up the back yard; and he had
been annoyed for an hour and a
half by the incessant interroga-
lions of little boy of interroga-
tory age, whose family lived down
the alley.

to go on. an errand into the big
boys side of town. He was walk
ing along an unfrequented path
eating contentedly from a bag of
candy.
Suddenly he was mortified to
see the big boy jump from the
top of a high board fence and
land catlike on his hands and feet
in front of him. In one of those
hands he held a stick and there
was blood in his eye.
The little boys mind worked
rapidly. "Hello, Bill" he said cas-
ually as if it were the most nat
ural thing in the world for Bill to
appear in that way. "Have some
candy" he said. And he held out
the bag.
Bill eyed the contents of the
paper sack obviously. 1t was nice
gooey, cozy candy. He selected a
large piece and pushed out one
side of his face with it. But he
was not completely Modified.
"You all chunked me the other
day, didn't you?" he demanded
pugnaciously.
"Oh," said the little boy, 1--WE
was just foolin'. l didn't chunk
at you myself. And if / did, l
didn't try to hit you. Have an
other piece of candy" The big
boy took another piece. And a
most delicate situation had been
successfully handled.
There are times when a man
must die because of his convic-
lions. There are times when ne
had rather not live at all than live
under some conditions. But it is
generally conceded that long life
is preferable to short one.

VTASHINGTON-The private lives
w OF government clerks have Just
become one of those teapot.tempest
issues which politicians so fire..
Quently make into big headlines
for the local newspapers.
There's a section of the badly
riddled but still eXtant Economy
Act which provides that married
persons with husbands or wives in
the federal civil service must be
fired first wherever personnel re.
auctions are necessary. 2
witnesses protesting this clause
testified before the House civil ser.
vice committee that it had the eff.
feet of causing young folks on the
federal payroll to live together
without benefit of clergy. One of
the witnesses was President r.
Claude Babcock of thea. F. of l. s
American Federation of Govern.
ment Employees.
Sexual morality Of. government
clerks is by no means one of Mr.
Babcock's major concerns. He
just thought it was point of argu
ment against the married persons
clause" which would appeal to J
southern congressman or two who
might actually be worried about
the morals of this town. q
Later he insisted he knew O.
nine such cases of unmarried life
but he didn't suggest that he HAD
ever qualified himself as genuine
piewer-with-alarm by suggesting tt
these young people that they memo
the error of their ways.
THEN, Just as if he, too, la,
awake nights thinking abou
such problems, Congressman Coch

Substituting

The truth is he has not even

oitionS as they have developed since

It's famous incorporating bulletin,
No. %. in the fall Of 1929. All the
foundation apparently did was TO

rate and as a direct consequence Of
the depression. a short period OF de-
emphasis has been followed by more
and better substituting and recruit

Schoolboy stars Is keener than ever

ALLEGATION OF

By Missouri

COLUMBIA. Mo-, May 2fs-P-
Coach Don Faurots charge that
the University OF Missouri is losing
athletic talent to schools offering
inducements in the way Of scholar
ships, jobs, ETC., Friday drew denials
from Northwestern and Texas UNI
versities and Centenary College.
Athletic authorities OF those three
schools declared they have no Mis-
sourians on their athletic rosters.
George washington University,
also included in Faurot's bitter
6enunciation of outstate schools he
charged with bidding in native
Missouri high school heroes. was
silent.
Briefly, here was the response TO
Faurot's charges:
Kenneth l. CTug) Wilson. ath-
ietic director. Northwestern uni
versity: 81 do know Of n athlete
in the university high school at st.
Louis who applied for a Northwest
ern scholarship. I turned 1t over
TO the faculty committee on scholar
ships and don't know what action
was taken. I know Faurot and he's
q good fellow"
Coach Curtis Parker. Centenary:
That charge is false. No such offer
has been made TO any Missouri
athlete. There are no Missouri boys
on the athletic squad"
Coach Jack Chevigny. University
of Texas, addressing Faurot in a
telegram: your statement absolute
~ absurd. we do not have a signle
Missouri athlete either on our
varsity Of freshman teams. You will
have to subStantiate your remarks
WITH proof or apologize TO the uni
versity and alumni. Apology must
be forthcoming within limited
hours"
Chevigny recalled that the last
time Texas played Missouri. the
Longhorns by $50 and added:
"If that's the best they could do.
I can't imagine why anyone would
want to subsidize any Missouri
athletes"

ALEX MORRISON says:
Slicing is the result of q COM
bination Of faults. In fact il re-
quires more faults to slice than
il does to cause any other error
in the flight Of the ball. Likewise
it calls for the strongest correc-
tive measure.
The one thing that will do most
to straighten out your swing is to
keep your head in the light posi-
ton. II is the greatest factor in
determining the direction in
which the ball will fly.
The main thing is to keep your
head from turning forward in the
downswing. To do this you must
try to turn il to the right as you
swing down.
II is not enough to figure that
you'll just keep your chin pointed
toward the ball-you must try TO
turn your head to the right. Then
the action Of your body, arms and
hands will be balanced for direc.
ton.
