and critics throughout collegiate
ability.
Leroy is a product of Indianap-
oils Tech High School and Coach
Tim Campbell. He was regarded
as the best high school pivot art
ist in the state a few years ago
when he was keeping North Cen
trail Conference bookies busy at
their addition lessons.
Edwards, now standing 6 feet 5
inches and weighing well above
200 pounds, shaped up during the
present season as the best point
getter the Southern Conference
has ever had. He favored Ken
tuckys brilliant season with 343
points in 20 games.
TT is next to impossible for OPP
i posing guards to stop Edwards
when he executes his croWding
pivot shot without committing OBJ
vious mayhem on him. Hoosier
high school guards made that dis
covery but could do nothing about
it; now the country's collegiate de-
fenSive stars are up against the
same thing, much to their regret.
New York University alone
found the answer-that being to
90 right ahead. with the mayhem
and let the referees take the rap.
Which all leads up to the story
that came out yesterday of Ed
wards feat against Xavier Thurs
day night. He was under the
weather. with a cold-barely abl'
to talk-when he went into action
in the first half. During that half
he hooked in a grand total of 16
points. He played hardly a min
ute in the second half, and was
taken to the hospital for examina-
ton after the game.
If he RECEIVERS quickly, he will
be tagged plucky; if his cold deep
ems, he will be called foolhardy; in
either event it's doggone good bas-
ketball.
Incidentally, Tim Campbell is
still reported in fair" condition at
the City Hospital, where he is re-
covering from an automobile &C
cident.
SUPERSTITION scares again!

NEW YORK, October 22-Destiny
the destiny that rules over the
empire of railroads-took a hand
when the Van Sweringen brothers,
still in their twenties. purchased the
Shaker Heights development outside
of Cleveland.
Lack of transit facilities had kept
the city's realtors from turning an
interested eye on those remote acres.
But Oris Paxton and Mantis James
Van Sweringen built the necessary
bridge when they came to it.
The Cleveland Railway Co. at first
was not interested in an extension to
serve Shaker Heights. But. guar
anteed right of way and the first five
years interest on the cost of the ex-
tension, it went ahead.
Buy SS,500,OOO Railroad.
BY 1916, more service was necessary.
The Nickel Plate road. which already
skirted Shaker Heights. was offered
to the Van Sweringens and they
bought it-for $8,5O0,0OO.
The brothers did not have millions
in the bank. but they could get them.
They had the confidence of business
men in a position to help. and help
they did when confronted by the Van
SWeringen personality.
BY 1919 they had so consolidated
their position that they launched
plans for a railroad terminal worthy
OF Clevelands importance. and it was
constructed in the public square.
Fighting shy Of the attendant pub
licity, they vetoed all plans for civic
celebration. One night the finished
52-story edifice was dark; the next
day it was aglow. busy center OF

The Iron Horse Speeds Up.

The railroads are not altogether out
Of the running in the matter of making
good time in long-distance transport.
They are picking up speed, as it were,
on both the interurban runs OF the co,in-
try generally and the transcontinental
runs. Recently a new speed record was
established for the run from the Pacific
Coast to Chicago, a new Diesel-powered
train making the distance of 2,227 miles
from Los Angeles in thirty-nine hours
and thirty-four minutes, at an average
rate'o of $500 miles an hour. This is
reduction of seventeen minutes from the
previous record, made on another line
several months ago by a new stream
lined train. Previous to that rim the
fastest time was made in 1905, when the
celebrated Death Valley" Scott hired
q special and made Chicago IN forty
four hours and fifty-four minutes.
The railroads serving in the same
areas are competing with one another
for faster schedules and are seeking to
keep their advantage over the buses.

Appeal to Business.

. Support the New Deal and protect
business from uncertainty is the appeal
of Postmaster General James A. Farley
He is asking the election next Tuesday
of a Democratic Assembly in New York.
Here, at last, is something new. A defeat
at the polls of the Roosevelt New Deal,
Mr.. Farley argues, would cause a business
or financial uncertainty. Business ur-
certainty in the recent past has come on
the heels of Roosevelt Now Deal vic
tories. This is all changed.
Things are going too we'll" said Mr.
Farley, "for any business man to want
TO have an upset at this time. Why
should any banker want to cast vote
against a Democratic candidate for the
Assembly when to do SO would bring
about a business or financial uncer-
tainty?"
Mr.. Farley, who in New York is chair
man of the Democratic State Committee,
paints a glowing picture Of improved
business conditions since the New Deal
came into power. Business has improved
There is no doubt about that There is
ALWAYS the chance, however, that busi-
ness may have improved in spite of the
New Deal and not because Of it. If Mr..
Farley is to be credited, however, busi-
ness is to have the ear Of the New
Dealers In the future. Such little things

occupies as an essential factor in the
economy of our life? Can 1t continue to
exercise a strong moral and spiritual
influence, for which it is obviously de-
signed, unless it receives more generous
and widespread recognition?" Even
those who do not participate In its Serv-
ices express belief in its value and
acknowledge its place in the scheme of
our so-called Christian civilization. This
Scant praise Is poor contribution to its
worth and value. Something more is
needed than an occasional dole or a
quasi-recognition of its place in our So
cial order. The practice Of Sunday wor-
ship does not and should not rest upon
the genius of pulpit eloquence nor the
splendor of music and ceremonial. 1t
does rest upon the desire Of the indi-
vidual to experience that which corporate
worship affords.
Too much emphasis is placed upon that
which church and pulpit purvey; too
little upon that which the individual in
the pew contributes. The very act OF
Joining with ones fellows in worship,
in song and praise Is in itself an exhil-
arant and tonic. Too frequently the
average man or woman thinks of the
church as an institution in which clergy
and choirs are the chief agents. Clergy
and choirs are the servants of the people.
They do not make worship-they stim-
ulate 1t. We recognize the just place
which popular and effective preaching
occupies. We also recognize the indis-
pensableness and value of that which
dignified ceremonial contributes, but
beyond all else we recognize that which
the pew and the individual in the pew
contribute to the elevation of worship to
it's high place of refreshment and stim-
ulation 1t was said Of Jesus that He
went on the Sabbath day to the syna-
gogue, las His custom was" He went to
Join with His friends and neighbors in
an act of worship and by His own pres
ence to contribute to those ends for which
the synagogue stood. No one is SO poor
or inconspicuous but that he may by his
presence and devout practice at church
worship contribute to the well-being of
the community in which he lives. In no
place may we express more fully or COM
pletely the commonneSS of our human
interests than in the church.
