Tigers Claw Him, Win 81.

HARRIS fears on the score OF
- Linke's provess in the Spring
blossomed In the wake of Eds fourth
straight failure of the season to make
good in a slab effort. The world
champion Tigers, debuting at Griffith
Stadium yesterday, shelled Linke from
the box in ringing up an 8-to-1 VIC
tory. It was, incidentally, the fifth
straight win for the Bengals, who
merely did to Linke what the Yankees
(twice), and and the Red Sox had
done before.
The demotion part depends on how
quickly Jimmy De Shong and Earl
Whitehill round into shape after shak-
ing of attacks of the grip. De Shong
pronounced himself ready today. but
Harris is giving him an extra day OF
rest. Whitehill should be available
for duty when the Browns invade on
Friday and with this pair to add to
Buck Newsom and Pete Appleton
Harris intends to rotate the quartet
in starting roles until Linke shows
signs of regaining his form.
Appleton is the added starter Of
the proposed first four" Pete was
drafted for pitching" assign
ments and relief roles, originally, but
so far the veteran right handler has
been so impressive that Bucky in
tends to use him every four days.
Appleton, by the way, was slated to
perform today's slab duty in the
second game of the Detroit series. NJ
Eds Slow Starts Puzzle.
NIEWSON, of course, is established
as the ace of the Washington
mound corps. Barring injury, Buck
will take his turn regularly and De
Shong, on the strength of his two
hit victory over the Athletics in his
first and only appearance, likewise is
sure of regular starting turns. White
hill, while he has not shown much
so far this Spring, has record OF
being the Nationals leading hurler for
the last three years and as soon as
he shakes of his cold Earl undoubted-
ly will step into the picture again.
"A club, even with better pitching
than Washington, cannot very well
pick out four pitchers this early in
the season and bank on working
them in rotation" explained Harris.
"Too many things-colds, sore arms,
etc.-may bob up to prevent any Sc
rious figuring on four fellows like
Newsom, Whitehill, De Shong and
Appleton. But if they all start going
good I'll be content to string along
with 'em until the season is further
advanced and Linke begins to swing
into stride"
Eds failure to win has hurt the
Washington club immeasurably so far.
It also provides problem. If he can
win, in July, August and September,
what prevents him from winning in
April, May and June? 1t cannot be
the lack of warm weather alone, be-
cause yesterday, for instance. was as
perfect a base ball day as will dawn
all season. It was the kind of a day
when Linke, even if his heating pad
was legal, would not consider using
any gadget to supply heat that would
be unnecessary.

Record of Development

State Forester Austin F. Hawes has given in succinct detail in an article re- gently made public at Washington by the director of the emergency conservation work the progress of the CCC in Connec- ticut. It is record of achievement of which everybody in this state should be proud. It completes a program that If IL had been left to such ordinary means as were at the command of the State For ester, it would not be today one-tenth completed That is our own estimate, but we'll wager it is pretty accurate.
 We can well recall in the years before the establishment of the CCC reading the reports of State ForeSters HaWes ana reading also between the lines the hope and the appeal for both funds and men with which to accomplish the many things that were required to make our Connecticut forests and waste lands available for recreation and economical purposes. In three short years the eco has accomplished great part of this. It will do more, for we know the corps will be continued.
 State Forester Hawes outlines the prln- cipal accomplishments of each camp of the CCC in this state in the way of i'm proving state forests and park; making suitable approaches to them; providing protection against fire; thinning out for est plantations; fighting diseases that strike down our native trees; and com batting the insect pests that raise such havoc with growing vegetation. It is a chronicle of day-to-day progress with the sole intention of aiding Mother Nature
 We hope that some day in every state a really worthwhile history of the CCC, not so much the organization, but it's actual work, can be compiled. It's going to be marvellous description of battle to reclaim the best assets of the state from decay. What we hoped for ten years ago is now coming to pass. Let us hope that nothing interferes with the continuation of the program for another three-year period at least

A Thought for Today
Frustrated Ambitions

An effort is afoot now to upset the pro- gram of Teachers College of Connecticut at New Britain. Those who have 1ol- lowed the course of our normal schools III the last few years will be familiar Wltn the circumstances surrounding the case If, may be recalled that in 1883 the Leg islatllre on the recommendation of the State Board of Education established Teachers College at the New Britain Normal School. Included in this plan was the eventual closing of the other three normal schools in Willimantic, Danbury and New Haven.
 Naturally all three places complained loud and long about any such removal oI normal school activities. However, the real plan was not to do away with the physical property of the schools. simply the course. The schools themselves, as we recall it, were to be utilized as Junlor colleges. However, another requirement. of the State Board of Education was that after completing three years at any of the normal schools the student must take a fourth year at Teachers College.
 Third year students in Willimantlc now wish to be properly certified for teach ing when their present course IS com pleted. although 1t is pretty well under SCOOQ LkkdI ULlCoC PAOOSAAV OA@AA~ ~S~~ dents actually entered normal school after the new ruling had gone into effect in 1883. It turns out though, that there wus a belief that emergency certificates might be obtained in 1886 without hay ing to take the fourth year at Teachers College.
 The situation is one that will require considerable study before making any decision. There are many young women in the state desirous of teaching, but some feel they cannot go the full four years necessary to obtain a degree. It was probably with this in mind that the normal schools with their year course leading to certification were retained by the state board. Whether or not students can eventually be persuaded to follow out the four-year course plan, especially with the possibility of teaching after three years training at normal school, is ques' tionable. Undoubtedly the original idea to have but one large central trc1ning school, expensive as it may be for girls in some parts of the state, is going to be the solution.

Adventure Without Gore

Readers of this paper recently made the acquaintance of a new adventure trip U "Myra North, Special Nurse" And it occurs to us that they may have found a refreshing new note in this treat ment of the fascinating, exciting business of crime detection.
 Too often an account of that business is just crammed full of cadavers and vi- olence, pistols and blackjacks. The young sters who make up the most enthusiastic public for that kind of entertainment are not only given fare that is altogether too strong for their tender years; they actually get a lopsided picture of life itself, viewing it from the angle of una dulterated melodrama in which every issue is resolved by violence.
 "Myra North" is something different. Here we have all the excitement of crime detection without the brutality, the blood- shed, and the shocks. The sketches are not filtered with corpses, machine guns, and beetle-browed thugs. There is enough action to hold anyone's interest, but noth-- ing that the most fastidious could find unWholeSome

Peaceful Japan

Dr. Toyohiko Kagawa, the famous Japanes evangelist now addressing great audiences in this country, is an ardent pacifist. He not only wants the rest of the world to be pacific, but he insists that his own nation is so. Only per cent of his fellow-countrymen, he maintains, favor militarism. This, indeed, is the i'm pression Americans have often got when travelling in Japan. They find the people of that country friendly, courteous and peaceful in their words and acts.
 On the other hand, there are the hard facts of well organized and equipped army, stern policy of intervention and absorption in neighboring territory, ruth less treatment of the Chinese and at tempted government by assassination" at the hands of army cliques. These facts are difficult to reconcile. Americans hardly know what to believe. The nat ural effect on this side of the Pacific is to follow the old motto of Theodore Roosevelt: Speak softly and carry big StickO

better to have no new legislation at all than to have a muddled variety that might do more harm than good.
 The subject should not be dropped here, however. Every American citizen who wants the United States to keep out of future wars and at the same time to play responsible part in world affairs should do ali he can to inform himself about the whole subject of neutrality. What is 1t? Do we want it? Can 1t be maintained without loss of rights and privileges the neutrality be combined with effective influence against wrongful aggression? Those are just few of the questions ir- volved Congress will not know what to do about the matter next year unless pub lie opinion clarifies.

movements, for social betterment and economic recovery.
 Ins 1882 President Hoover asked him to head the committee formed t" combat hoarding, which had al- ready become a menace, and which was to contribute to the financial troubles of Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration. In this and other efforts to promote business recovery, Col. Knox was unsparing of time and work. As a citizen, he has been active politically, on the inaugura. ton of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Col. Knox as a citizen through the Daily News, supported those recovery policies of the pres- ident which he believed sound and conducive to business revival. He has also taken at face value, this administrators often reported rec quest for criticism, and condemned without equivocatlon, all tendencies toward the regimentation of bus mess and imitation of the currency, which he believed to be dangerous. Although Col. Knox Is no worship- per of tradition or precedent, the objective view of the seasoned news- paper worker, irrespective of his own political or economic views, must be that Col. Knox has inher- tied and carried out in full measure the traditions of independence, liberalism, and humanitarianism that the press of America has on the whole maintained from the earliest days of the institution of tf s continent.
 As an institution the press has been conditioned from the birth of the printing art so that freedom of opinion and the formation of criti- cal judgment upon public affairs are of its vital clements. Without them the press is of little value to its owners, its workers, or the pub- lie.

Announcement that Postmaster Gen. eral Farley will pay an official visit to Connecticut means that the fight is on. New England may be claimed by the republicans now, but the democrats are not going to give up what footholds they have in this section of the nation without battle We're glad to see that. We don't think any pessimistic note need be struck by democratic orators around Connecticut. And we feel pretty confi- dent that when Postmaster General Far ley opens up in Hartford the night of the 28th he'll be at his best form. Interesting remarks should be forthcoming. We'll probably get an inkling of what the campaign slogan all over the nation is going to be as soon as President Franklin D. Roosevelt has been renominated.

 RvYRKE
Waterbury, Conn. March 2. 1AaA.

Waterbury, Conn.
 March 3, 1936. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 In 1912 the New Englander who had made good in the west, went back home, not to Boston, yet, but to Manchester, New Hampshire, where he became publisher of the Manchester Leader, which he merg- ed with the Manchester Union in 1913. He is still publisher of that paper in partnership with John A.. Muehling, his only newspaper in- terest outside, the Daily News. This was also the period of the great Roosevelt upheaval and Knox spent many days on the train of Theodore Roosevelt as he toured the country during the campaign of 1912.
 He was one of the cheering, creeping throng who sang onward Christian Soldiers" as they nornin- ated Roosevelt for the presidency here in Chicago that year. He sang and wept too. This doesn't have to be proved. Knox admits 1t when the United States entered the World War in 1917. Editor Knox enlisted in the 1st New Hampshire infantry as 0 private. Because of his Spanish American war exper- ience, he was sent to an officers training camp.
 He was commissioned captain on August l4th, 1917, and assigned to the staff of the 78th, 8 New Jersey and upstate New York division, with which he went overseas. On Decem- Der ist, 1917, he was promoted to major and served with the 253rd artillery brigade of the 78th division from May 26th, 1918 until February 10th, 1919.
 Returning to his Manchester paper, Col Knox was made publish CT of the Boston American in 1926 This newspaper Is owned by William R. Hearst. After Q few years in Bos- ton, MT. Hearst asked Col. Knox to assume the position of general man. ager of all Hearst newspaper properties.
 He accepted and carried out his duties until January lst, 1881, when he resigned his Hearst connections Col. Knox's activities since coming to the Daily News are well known to Chicagoans. He has taken an ac- tive part in civic and business
