"The immediate motive al

said to be incompatible with
the LOcarnO treaty.
"The French government
scrupulOusly examined the Ger

It's Simpler Here

If you are one of those who
think that our American
party system is too old-fash-
ioned and ought to be reduced
to a mere designation of lib
erals as opposed to conserva-
tives, consider for a moment
the situation in France.
There, in the recent cleo
tions, the people were faced
with a lineup that would baf-
fie the most astute political
student. They were required
to choose, somehow, from
Communists, Dissident Com
munists, Radical Socialists,
Independent Socialists, Dissi-
dent Socialists, and just plain
Socialists: Left Republicans
Right Republicans, Popular
Democrats, and Conserva-
tives.
Fortunately, our system is
not yet as involved as that o1
France. But the increasing
number of "isms" we have
faced in the last 10 years is {
warning.

as hopelessly tangled up il

The Delaware State News

ment which we much appre-
ciate: "Eighty-three years in
the newspaper field is a
mighty long time as even
our good friend, William H.
Hill, dean of Delaware news
paper men will agree. So the
Smyrna Times, which with its
issue of last week observed its
eighty-third anniversary, has
every right to be proud of its
long career in the Delaware
Fourth Estate, especially in
view Of the fact that from the
date of its first issue up until
its eightythird birthday ami
versary, the Times did not
miss a single issue. And this
period of more than fourScore
years, it will be recalled, COW
ers the dark days Of the Civil
War and the World War, and
number Of financial panics
including the depressions Of
1873 and 1929-35. Another
noteworthy feature of the
Smyrna Times existence is
that it has been published by
only two generations of the
same family during this long
( period. 1t was founded by the

on and crowds are attending their

and many beautiful scenes.
Miss Evalyn Cochran had quite
a narrow escape from what might
have ben a serious accident last
week when her oil stove exploded.
She had the forethought to call
the fire company and then proceed

the use of rugs and pieces of car
pet and had about accomplished it
when the fire apparatus arrived.
She was somewhat painfully burn

Collins is a product Of the Cardi-

Parmelee came TO the Cardinals

and was appraised as the best fielder
since Speaker and maybe the best
thrower Of all time.
More important still. the Yanks
started to charge to the top when Joe
began to play, and once they were
under way, full speed. they broke all
records for winning pennant by nm
ishing 1919 games ahead of the Sec
ond-place team.
"Stand Out Rookie" Says Harris.
THE kid who always looks as If he
had just got out of bed and was
having trouble getting his eyes opened
is not very colorful. Gehrig has more
color, and so have Powell and George
Selkirk. In the series, with OFT and
Ferry and Barteils nugmsnting these
fellows, it was little wonder people lost
sight of Di Maggie.
But he was there at the pay-off, and
not everybody had overlooked him.
You were talking to Bucky Harris. for
instance, and Bucky had noticed. You
asked Bucky If Joe stood out among
the American League rockies, or
whether fellows like Roy Weatherly
and Bob Feller pressed him.
He stood out, replied Bucky,
unhesitatingly. "There was no.
body close"
How does he measure up with the
veteran outfielding brigade in the
league?
Hes as good as any. He isn't fast,
or, at least, you don't get the impress
sion that he's fast. He doesn't dig
like Chapman and Moses and Hill, for
instance. But he gets there Just the
same. One thing is certain. You
can't hit anything by him. That
catch he made of Leiber in the second
game of the series was one of the
greatest I've ever seen. And, posi-
lively. he has the best arm I've ever
seen. Meusels? Not close"
OF. d." Not Catch, Worried Him.
Joe came in for lot Of kidding be-
cause Of that catch. It was the
final out of the game, and earlier the
loud speakers at the Polo Grounds had
requested the 40,0c0-odd fans to wait
until President Roosevelt had left the
park before leaving.
When Leiber hit his fly, Di Maggie
turned his back and ran. A yard away
from the clubhouse steps in dead cen
ter field, a distance of 460 feet, he half
turned and caught the ball Then he
stood bewildered while the crowd
roared.
Later, In the clubhouse, some
Of the boys were kidding him
about surprising himself with
the catch. "You sure looked
funny" said Laszeri.
''It wasn't the catch, honest" said
Joe. II knew I was going to get the
ball. But was right on the clubhouse
steps and I didn't know whether to
keep on going or to wait for the Presi-
dent to leave"
They said, the other night, that
Owner Jake Rupert of the Yanks was
happier than ever before in his life.
The last three times he had celebrated
victory dinners the Colonel was felici-
tated on his team for winning from
the Pirates, Cards and Cubs in four
straight games. This time 1t took SIX
games, but that does not indicate MS
Yanks are slipping. On the contrary
they are coming up. You didn't fully
realize what a good third baseman
Rolfe had become until the series. OF
how Crosetti had improved, or how
well Gehrig, Lazzeri and Dickey had
held up.
Nor did you realize, until 1t
was all over, what . great JOB
