A little knock-a little boost:
 First it's me-then it's you: No harm done-it's oil in fun. (By Miss Lotta strikeSanspafes.)

4 race; c race; wi.l c teams set- ting the pace, and when you have one half of the league battling for that coveted first place, it means that these teams separated by but six games are certainly going to furnish some fireworks from now on and may the best team win.
 First, we have ex-sheriff Jenusai- tis, who by virtue of Q 2 game win over Doc eelens lnolars managed to remain on top with Q lone games difference between the sheriffs and Fritz Dulskis, c few more of those 2 game losses and Doc and his squad will be fighting with their backs against tho wall, ! hope that Capt. Doc selens and Jack Orintas both hit on e7 in tho last game while Jenusaitis, lead-off man, Balkus, went one better and tossed 90 balls southward for . total of 84. Some people, like good wine, improve with ago while otherslll Well, you know the answer to that one.
 Thirty.flve pins Up, going into the last box and they lost by A. Yousa, that is the lead that Danisavages gang threw away when Gus Kankel, Dan Stokes, Drevinshas, Al KaSidas, Chap Lasky and Capt. John con. trived to bowl in the sos and hand Henry etsokaiaitis c belated xmas present the third game, giving Henry c 2 to game win. A strike in the last box by anchorman, Ice Arnauskas, just about put the game on ice and yet, one must not pass Up the commendable scores rolled by Radzunas, who hit 303, (Was that on accident, Adolph?) Henry Stroke 304, Cal Kerwin 320 (Cal's score was no accident - it was c iniracle) and Aunty Jonikas 30S, for 0 team total of 1926.

Hugo Eckener, veteran Zeppelin builder and flyer, and Captain Ernst Lehman, commander of the Hindenburg, from the control cabin of their ship to room in the hangar. There they stood side by side on dais while cameras ground and hundred re- porters fired questions.
 The interview was barely begun before 1t was in the realm Of the political. The spectacular first commercial flight from Europe to America, the beauty and capabili. ties of the great zeppelin was for- gotten.
 Eckencr In Bad Favor
 Dr. Eckener. famous for his trips with the Graf Zeppelin and one Of the best known Germans outside his own country had had some dif- ficulties with the present Na2i gov- ernment to the extent that for q while newspapers were forbidden to SO much as mention his name All so, many had thought 1t strange that the veteran dirigiblc expert, conceded to be the greatest living expert on zeppelins, had never bceii named difinitely as the commander of the Hindenburg.
 "Dr. Eckener" asked reporter, "There have been published reports that you have had difficulties with Reichsfuchrer Hitler"
 "Ahl" exclaimed Eckener lifting a hand. He looked old and tired, but his tall figure was erect, the point of his goatee stuck out as he locked his jaws.
 "There was a slight misunder- standing which was not the fault of anybody" he said, But the whole question has been settled sat- isfactorily.
 It was clear that the subject was closed

 PLEASES LABOR

Washington May o-(UP)-Con. gressional supporters of organized labor hailed the prevailing wage amendment to the $2,364, ,000, 900 ork.relicf deficiency bill today as a forerunner of a federal short week.law. The amendment order. ing WPA administrator Harry Hop- kins to pay prevailing wage rates to approximately 3,000,000 persons cleared the way in the house for final roll calls and passage Of the record peace time appropriation Monday.
 The only other amendment to the administration measure would prohibit aliens illegally in the United States from going on relief rolls. House leaders beat down in- surgeilt attempts to otherwise alter the bill and predicted 1t would go to the senate in a form acceptable to President Roosevelt. Organized labor leaders, who have fought for two years for payment of prevailing wages to relief workers, saw in the amendment an important victory in their fight for Q shorter work-week. Rep. William P. Connery, chairman of the house labor committee, and author of the 30-hour work-week bill, predicted the amendment would result in industry increasing its wage levels.

This was my first ex- perience In Q lighter than air craft
 The only difiiculty in the flight was convincing yourself that you were flying the Atlantic. It was ac- tually necessary to continually re- mind yourself of this fact, Other wise passengers quickly became blase and comported themselves within few hours from the start exactly as tough they were on ship board at sea--even to putting their shoes outside cabin doors at night for shines and donning evening dress for dinner.
