SEEKING A SWING

AN EXCELLENT rule of proceed
ure to follow. especially in duplicate
games, is: BE conservative when
ahead. Be bold when behind" If
early play has given you a good lead,
just play for averages while we'll
ahead. If early play has not favored
you. try boldly for a big swing. even
il the odds are against its success.
Today we have an excellent example
of the occasional value Of such
strategy. Although East and West
were excellent players. in a recent
l2-tabe game. they seemed from the
travelling score sheets to be only
about fourth in score. To seek a
swing West made an opening call on
a hand not nearly strong enough for
rubber games or for duplicate games.

suit of the success on this hand and

general, however, It is the common
belief that the person with the
largest brain has also the most pow
erful intellect.
If that is true, then the most in
tellectual person who ever lievn on
the North American continent, SC
far as evidence goes, was an Aleu-
tian Indian who died several hund-
red years ago and whose skeleton
has just been unearthed on one of
the islands off the tip of Alaska.
He had a skull capacity of zoos
cubic centimeters, which is just a
trifle larger than the braincase of
Daniel Webster; who certainly was
one of Americas intellectual giants.
The largest brain of which there
is any record belonged to Turgen-
Jeff, the Russian novelist, which
measured 1880 cubic centimeters
not much bigger than that of
the unknown Aleutian Indian. Bis
marck, the great German statesman,
had an enormous head, with a brain
capacity of 1866 cubic centimeters.
The French poet LaFontaine; the
German composer Beethoven, and
Emmanuel Kant, the great philoso-
pher of two hundred years ago, all
were noted for the size of their
heads.
All of which is flattering to the
nan who wears a 7k hat or larger,
though it must be admitted that
some mighty smart men never wore
bigger than a s rs hat. Mere size
is not enough to account for the
brilliancy of some of the worlds
best brains, in all probability.
Nevertheless, it is too bad that
there are no records, traditions, or
relics to tell us more about this
Aleutian Indian with that great
brain case.

the Social Security Boards list for
his community and will be called
upon to check upon the present
whereabouts of every person whose
name appears on the list.
STARTING JANUARY FIRST
Beginning January l, every en-
ployer will be required to pay to
the government a tax of one per-
cent of his total payroll, except for
such parts of it as run above $1,000
a year for any particular employee.
Beginning at the same date, every
worker earning up to $4,000 a
year will be required to pay an in
come tax of one percent of his total
salary or wages. This income tax
must be deducted from the pay
check or wage envelope by the en-
ployer and turned over to the gov
eminent.
Out of the proceeds of this pay
roll tax the act provides for retire
ment pensions beginning at the age
of IS. The expected attacks upon
its constitutionality are based upon
the fact that the tax is not a gen.
eral tax but applies only to workers
in business and industry and is not
required from workers in agricul-
%tural, shipping, domestic servine,
members of charitable, scientific
and other non-profit organizations,
Or persons who are self-employed,
such as professional men.
Another ground is that the pro-
ceeds of this tax are not distributed
for general welfare, but only for
the specific benefit of the particu-
lar classes who are taxed, so that
there is no provision in the law for
old age insurance benefits for a
very large part of the population of
the United States.

FARMING .. Mr.. Hunters way
After listening with a great deal
of disgust to all the talk about
farmers having no chance these
days, l experienced somewhat of a
thrill to read about David Hunter
of Iowa, who has run $4.SS up into
$4,000 in 20 years of farming.
Mr.. Hunter is now As years old
and he celebrated his birthday by
burning pad-up mortgages for near
ly $4,000, the money he had Dor
rowed to buy and equip the 100
acre farm. He also rents a 800
acre farm and says hal he has made
money every year but one since
1916, when he started farming.
This, to me, is just another evil
dence hat a good farmer can make
a good living OF good land, any,
where, any time.
MOVING o.. to fertile soil
l have just just sold my old,
rocky hillside farm in Berkshire
County, Massachusetts, and / am
moving to a more fertile and prosp-
erous agricultural region, in Bucks
County, Pennsylvania.
After spending a large part of
my Summer looking yer this re-
gion where generations of thrifty
Quakers and pennsylvania Dutch
have made themselves rich from
farming and their descendants are
still making good money from the
soil, I am not surprised that SC
many generations of New England
youth have left its rocky hills to &C
into farming in the more fertile re-
gions lying between the Hudson
River and the Great Plains.
There are still good farms and
good farmers in New England, but
most of them have a tough time Of
it. All New England is becoming
a sort of a national playground
Like France, New England relic.

creasing part of its income. 1t will
always be to me the most beautiful
part of the world.
PROXIMITY a factor
My main reason for moving, be.
j yond the fact that I got more fol-
my New England property than ii
was worth, is hat l have to be ii
close touch with New York, ane
Pennsylvania is less than half as fal
away as Massachusetts,. Few people
realize how narrow the State Of
New Jersey is. 1t is only 80 mile
from the Hudson to the Delaware
and both railway and highway
travel is much faster east and west
from New York than northward.
Another thing l like about Penn.
sylvania is that there is no state in
come tax and property taxes are
the lowest I have ever heard Of
+ anywhere.

Northern Westchester County, ano

ELECTRICITY low rates
Another thing l like about Penn
sylvania is that the rate for electric
current is lower than anything ]
know of in the cast.
I am going to try heating my en-
tire supply of domestic hot water
by electricity using a scheme called
the "off peak" rate. The electric
company installs an so-gallon no,
water tank with an electric heating
unit, and charges me one cent a
kilowatt hour for current, except
between the hours of 4 to 10 p. M,
when they have a demand for all
the current they can produce.
I am told that this is the cheap
est electric current rate anywhere in
America, and that l can get hot
water for all household purposes
cheaper than by. coal, gas or oil.
Anyway, | am going to try it and
will report progress. If it can be
done in one place, l don't see why
it can't be done everywhere.
SPEED around the world
Nearly 80 years ago Jules Verne,
the French romantic novelist, wrote
a book called around the World

Forty-five years ago a New York
newspaper woman who wrote under
the name of Nellie Bly,, set out to
beat that time. She got around the
world in u days, using only the
regular means Of transportation

Now two New York newspaper
reporters have started to try to &C

SCIENCE M THE ARTS

Neiy 1e" people STOP 10 tnlnK &c
the effect of science and invention
upon such things as art, literature
and music. One of the big radio
broadcasting companies has an
nounced that it has arranged with
a group of eminent composers to
write musical compositions in SYM
phony form, especially designed for
radio use, 50 that an entire SYM
phony can be broadcast within 40
minutes Of time. This is a very
definite change in an established

the most modern of all scientific
developments, of the radio.
The late Brander Mathews, Pro-
fessor Of Dramatic Literature at
Columbia University, pointed out
some years ago the effect which the
introduction of electric lights had
had upon the form and manner of
the drama. By making it possible
for everyone in the audience to see
clearly every facial expression of
the actors, electric lighting elimin-
ated the necessity of pantomine and
violent gestures in order to convey
the idea to the spectators; the
drama became conversational in
tone and quite different in sub
stance after electricity replaced gas:
which in turn had subdued the
drama from the earlier days OF
candle light.
The very modern invention Of
photography, and particularly it.
widespread use by amateurs, ha'
had a decided effect upon the art.
of painting and drawing. Mo-
many years ago it was considered :
necessary part of every cultured
persons education to be able tt
sketch from nature, but the anna.
teur snapshot camera has changed
all that. Today anybody can maxi
a picture which is far more rea

while recent advances in colol

the principles of artistic compost.

toward a time when painting itself
will become obsolete.
When you stop to think of it, al
of civilized mans daily habits
customs and points of view are con.
stantly being changed by the in

coveries and their practical appli.

ROOSEVELT M HI
FARMER

When Franklin u. Roosevelt be-
came President of the United States
he knew that there could be no ma
tional prosperity that was lot not
based upon a prosperous agricul-
ture.
One of his first acts was to call
in farm leaders to develop a nation
al farm program that has been ad-
ministered by farmers themselves
This program, together with other
recovery measures, has placed the
farmer on the road to prosperity.
To wit:
Farm cash income in 1852, under
Hoover, was $4,337,000,00
Farm cash income in 1885, under
Roosevelt, was s6,900,o00,0 900 and
for 1896 is estimated at $780,
100000.
Farm value of wheat in 1892,
under Hoover, was 1882, 600.
Farm value of wheat in 1885,
under Roosevelt, was $505,000,-
900.
Farm value of cotton in 1892,
under Hoover, wal $424,000,000.
Farm value of cotton in 1885,
under Roosevelt, was $593,o00,-
900.
Farm value of hogs in 1882, I'M
der Hoover, was $261, 100000.
Farm value of hogs in 1885 I'M
der Roosevelt was $3.50, 100000.
Farm mortgage interest rates in
1888 averaged 6 per cent-today
they are approximately 4 per cent.
During the last year of Republi-
can rule the average price Of farm
commodities dropped from IS per
cent above prewar level to As per-
cent below that level.
During the Roosevelt admins
tration the average price of farm
commodities advanced to above
100 per cent compared to the pre-
war level.
At the end of the Hoover ad.
ministration the farmer was receiv-
ing nothing for his toll and wa.
sinking deeper into debt. Today
he is in a position to discharge
many of his old obligations anc
may look forward to a future If
which he can support himself ane
his family at a level CONSTANT with
American standards. Democratic
policies and accomplishments hav.
restored to him his property and hi.
self-respect.
AS Henry A. Wallace, Secretary
of Agriculture, said not long ago:
"At last the farmers have a ma
in the White House who not only
understands their problems, bu,
who has the courage to act"

being menaced every day. There
are more than 10000 school
buildings which were built be-
fore 1870.
There are two million kids
getting only part-time schooling
in portable, inadequate or con-
demned buildings. Then, too,
there are about 100000 more
children of school age than there
were in 1928, but there are about
$4,000 fewer school buildings"
These $4,000 school buildings, Mr..
Flynn explains, have Succumbed to
the bugs of obsoleScence" which
have also been eating away like
termites in all sorts of other fields.
Mr.. Flynn cites the condition in
the railroad industry. In the five
years preceding 1929, he says, the
roads spent 800 million dollars a
year on capital equipment, while
in the past five years they spent
only 200 million a year. Thus in
the last five years the roads spent
three billion dollars less than IN
the preceding five years, and as a
result they need cars and engines
and stations and roadways all the
more now.

Replacement Is Seen
Key to New Upturn

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-A sharp
upswing in heavy industry and a
consequent increase in employ
ment throughout the country will
result in the near future from
the current extreme percentage
of obSoleScence in manufacturing,
railroad, utility, and general plant
equipment, according to a ma
tional survey just completed for
Golfers by John T. Flynn, author
and economist. He writes
THE most important thing in
this country today is that we
need so many things and need
them badly"
Among the many fields covered
in Mr.. Flynn's survey was the
building industry, where he found
high degree of obsolescence. He
reports:
81 found that there are be-
tween 10 and IL thousand con-
demned school buildings still
housing during school hours at
least a million children. So at
least 10000 school buildings are
needed to replace these viii
famous old fire and deathtrapS
in which a million little lives are
