creased or If more machines were
introduced unemployment would in
crease and wages would decline.
The President Of the United States
subscribed. doubtless unknowingly.
to this old lump of labor" theory in
his Baltimore address. At any mo-
ment. especially during times of a
business depression. that old fallacy
sounds more or less PLAUSIBLE, and it
always has the virtue of putting its
expounder in the role of being SYM
pathetic with labor. But the notion
is nevertheless fallacious.
In harmony with this theory the
President suggested that only per-
sons between the ages eighteen and
sixty-fve be permitted to work. Some
of the aspects of such notion should
be easily understood.
If the idea is sound. why is it not
still better to restrict the number of
workers TO those between the ages
of twenty-five and forty-five?
And when a man works does he
not create both labor opportunities
for others and more goods to con-
sumo? Or does he merely deprive an
other person f work anG, by moi
sharing his task. lower the standard
of living for all?
Would anybody be willing to say
that, if all persons able to work were
fully employed. there would not be
more to consume and that the stand
ard of living would not be higher
than if only half the people worked.
and the other half shared the prod
ucts without producing anything?
Is any thoughtful person willing
to say that the income of the masses
would be higher today if all tools

and machines were abandoned and
men worked barehanded?
Any intelligent reader will answer
these questions correctly and will
realize that the seat of the trouble
and the answer to it lie elsewhere.
The President did not perceive the
seat of the trouble and he did not
give the answer.
The irony of the address lay in part
in the fact that he ridiculed four
point partial program of a compe-
tent economist without perceiving
that the four-point program came
much closer to hitting at one major
source of the present difficulties in
this country than did his own sug-
gestions. This economist had recon-
mended return to the gold standard,
the convertibility of our currency. q
recognition of our position as a cred
itor nation. and the restoration Of
order in our Federal finances.
The President said of these sug-
gestions: 81 hope you will be as
thrilled and excited by them as ]
was. :. f.. Is there opportunity. is there
work today, is there assurance for to-
morrow. is this the practical, definite
answer you are looking for? :. No,
my friends, you have right to expect
something better than that" In reply
one may ask whether. after three
years of this governments diagnoses
and prescriptions. the problem of
unemployment has been solved in
any important degree.
One time a man. who suffered
physician who, after diagnosis. sent
him to a dentist to have his tooth
extracted. Meeting a friend he said:
What do you Think went to doc
tor to find out what was wrong with
my heel and he tells me to have a
tooth pulled OF all the silly ideas"
He might have said with equal ap-
propriateneSs regarding the physi-
clan whose diagnosis he did not I'M
derstand: "It was not the answer 1
was looking for. did not get a
thrill out of that. My friends. l had
expected something better than that!"
Correct diagnoses of economic ills
do not always lie on the surface to
be picked up like a stick by any
casual wayfarer. And there is no
reason to suppose that a politician
can make a correct diagnosis more
easily than can a trained economist
who has spent years in specific study
of just such problems.
The answer to this problem will
be given in the next article.

Eckert, 18-year-old Northwestern
University coed, today had sue
ceeded Katherine Rawls of Miami
Beach, Fla, as the Women's Ma
tional A. A. U. 100-yard free style
swim champion.
The black-haired coed made
her best time in a preliminary
heat when she splashed 100 yards
in 1:02.2, eight-tenths of a second
faster than the old A. A. U. record.
"Minnow" Rawls did not defend
her 100-yard championship, but
retained her title in the women's
300-yard individual medley event
and established a world record OF
4:066 for the distance.
Jack Medica of Seattle won the
mems 1900 meter event in 1868.
He finished three-quarters Of the
length of the Lake Shore A. c.
pool ahead Of Ralph Flanagan Of
Miami, his greatest rival.
After vainly trying to win the
low board diving championship for
seven years AL Greene, 24-year-old
Chicagoan, finally succeeded last
night. He won by a wide margin,
being IL points ahead Of Marshall
Wayne of Miami, his nearest COM
petitor.

INTERESTING ROOMS WITH
WOODWORKING FIREPLACES:
There's a certain charm and
appeal to an older house that is
difficult to recapture in the new

Of so many of our most interesting
people. Now it has been taken
over by a very pleasing lady with
lots of personality, who has some
rooms available at once. These

Masters TEST
Postponed
By Rains
BY DAVIS J. WALSH


AUGUSTA, Ca, April 2.-Hav-
ing libeled the fair name of his
own Augusta national course with
four consecutive practice rounds
for record of 16 under par, the
ceaseless prattle around here this
morning was not of what Bobby
Jones might do in his annual
masters tournament, starting to-
morrow. 1t was strictly of what he
will do-if, when and provided the
pros let him alone. The tourney
was scheduled to start today but
q heavy rainstorm soaked the
course, causing a days delay.
He will murder the field" they
say, if he can and is permitted to
forget his obligation as host. Even
the pros themselves guardedly
admit that, at least the old guard
pros who can afford to be frank
because they know very well that,
as far as the championship Is
concerned, the parade has gone
by and that, if they ever see it
again, they'll be Tapped.
They admit there are only two
ways of stopping Jones when he's
hot and the other, of course, is to
hit him over the head with a
baseball bat. Anyhow, there are
whispers today that needing"
might be necessary, not during
the mans round, naturally, but in
the locker room and the bar.
Soto voce criticisms of the
course, the ticker, the greens, any
thing that might be calculated to
upset and distress a man who is
fronting" for the course.
Can Putt Again
The immediate point about
Jones' play in this, his third ap-
pearance since his withdrawal
from golf in 1880. is that he has
got back his putting. With
courses and club heads standard
lied that's all golf championship
amounts to nowadays. It goes to
the man holing the longest putt.
Playing in the first masters
two years ago, Jones couldn't
putt and finished fifteenth. In
the, second meeting last year,
he couldn't have swept them in
with a street cleaners broom and
finished off somewhere behind
the tradeSmen'S entrance. More
over one need only consider the
cases of Henry Picard, Johnny
Revolta and Paul Runyan. the
ranking money winners of pro-
9eSSional golf.
Picard isn't especially long off
the tee. Runyan and Revolta
are VIGOROUSLY short. But the
three can putt all day with
out a trace of inefficiency and
come back the next morning for
more. Oddly, it is surprising how
few people realize that, in golf,
o 300-yard drive and a 3-foot
putt count the same, namely,
one stroke.
Hagen, Armour, Mac Smith
and the other veterans can't
pace those boys on the greens
any more. They fade in the
third round and so does Sarazen,
last years WINNIE, with the as
Sistance of (A) a double eagle
and (B) Santa Claus.
