JOE KUHEL
SHOWS EN-

When Joe LII e l
changed his batting
style this season. there
was much conjecture.
At the start of the
year he failed miSerably
at the bat, although he
fielded well. People be-
gan thinking they were
right, he never would be
able to regain his old
form.
Then his hitting be-
gan to pick up. He be-
gan to get extra base
hits and drive it runs.
His batting verage rose
from the .270's to the
.300'S. Now, he is not
only leading the team
in hitting, but also is
leading in runs batted
in.

A nationwide poll of
the American voters,

United States.

Opinion last week an

which augur well for

November.
From early st
month, when London
was nominated. until
the present time, Presi-
dent Roosevelt'S nation.
al popularity has
dropped four per cent,
and he has lost 148 po-
tential electoral votes.
The steady decline, as
testified to by the fig
ures, meant to sagaciouS
political observers that
Mr.. Roosevelt would
have to stage a CARR
son finish to overtake
the increasingly popular
Mr.. Landon.
The poll showed that
if conditions remain as
they are now, Governor
Landon would sweep
into the White House
on the impetus Of Is
electoral votes. The
Kansas executive, &C
cording to the latest tab
ulation, has 272 votes,
while the present in
cumbent possesses $50.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt
has the edge in the
popular vote by 3.6 per
cent, it is manifest that
Landon's plurality in the

governor of victory. So
far, the report states,
the President has 51.8
per cent of the popular
vote, and Mr.. Landon
has garnered 49, per
cent.
The amazing part Of
the strong reaction for
Landon is that his cam
paign force is gradually
being augmented by in
fluential Democrats, who
are forsaking their party
because of the spend
thrift New Deal. This
is, doubtless, a poignant
blow aimed at the RooSe-
welt administration.

Even though citizens
of Washington will be
unable to vote for either
President Franklin D.
Roosevelt Of Gov. All
Landon of Kansas on
November 8, Washing
tonians could witness a
football game and cheer
with the other citizens
of the United States, to
demonstrate their pref
erence.
A quite novel football
game between Landon
Prep and Roosevelt High
School could be played,
either on election day or
just before. OF course
we fully realize the fact
that Landon Prep is not
named for the governor,
and Roosevelt H g h
School Is named for
Teddy Roosevelt, but
nevertheless, these two
names would arouse
quite an interest in the
game. Besides, the game
should be a pretty hard
fought one, as both
teams have been practi-
cally on a par with each
other in past years.
So before these two
schools finally complete
their football schedule
for the SO season, may
we suggest a game on
election day?

JOE LOUIS
DOWN BUT
NOT OUT
Brown Bomber Seen
Studying FiStic
Comeback

Just a few short weeks
ago, a Superman! Idol
of al. fiStiana! Now
nothing!
Such is the plight Of
the Brown Bomber If
description by the box
ing writer's are to be
taken at their worth.
However, in all fairness
tc the Sepia battler, it
should be said: He is
not through! If passing
events are any criterion
Joe Louis will once more
be back in the fold and
soon make his, bid for
the top.
OF course, such a
trOuncing as he took
from the hands of
Schmeling didn't do him
much good. But it was
just what he needed. He
had become too certain,
too sure of his ground,
and when one becomes
so cocksure, he is bound
to be knocked off sooner
or later. Fortunately for
him, however, the les
son came early in his
career and he has many
years ahead to profit
from his valuable ex-
perience.
Before the Schmeling
fray, Louis was just a
kid stuck on himself.
Now we might call him
a man. The mans size
FASTING he took from
the German proves that;
he did not lie down when
the goine got tough; he
stuck it out and fought
like a man. And for that
performance he deserves
at least one star in his
fast glimmering crown.
In his position, Louis
Is not alone; plenty Of
fighters suffered similar
joltS cary in then Ca
reer. Take Jim Corbett,
for instance. He had
easy pickingS' until Billy
WEIGH came along and
knocked the props out
from under him. But
he didn't quit.
Jack johnson was an
other who had his apple
cart upset early. He
had licked all corners
for five years and like
Louis was surely deS-
tined for the title, but
he too met his waterloo
in the form of Marvin
Hart. However, he, too,
knew not the meaning
of stop and finally
reached his goal.
Even the ace of them
all, Jack Dempsey, was
not immune. When all
seemed gravy for him,
Jack took on Fireman
Jim Flynn for a bout
and before many min
uteS has passed the
ManaSSa Mauler was on
the canvas for keeps.
Yet, he too, rose to fight
again and the brilliant
heights he reached are
too well-known to bear
repeating here.
Such are a few Of the
classic examples. Others
could be. mentioned but
enough have been told
to show that, once down.
a man is not necessarily
out. Joe Louis took a
terrible beating. It did
set him back quite a bit,
no doubt. But he has
his best years ahead of
him. And, one thing
you can be sure of-he'll
be back!

Work the past few weeks has been
devoted principally to putting the

after they had been torn up by dig

Christmas Seal Sale
Under Way
To Raise Funds To Combat
Dangerous Enemy Of Man
Observation-Disclosures

AS9A
The Christmas Seal Sale, which is
now under way. will be the thirtieth
that has been conducted in the Unit
ed States to raise funds to combat
one of the Oldest and most dangerous
enemies of mankind-tuberculo
The Christmas Seal idea was orig
mated in Denmark in 1903 by a post
al clerk named Einar Holboell, and
brought to this country in 1907.
Since that time the organized fight
against tuberculosis has grown until
there are now more than forty ma
lions using the Christmas Seal to
combat tuberculosis.
On this, the thirtieth anniversary,
there is an encouraging story to be
told in Maryland. When Mics Emily
Bissell Of Delaware introduced the
Seal to this country in 1907, the tu-
berculosis death rate In this state
was 204 per 100000 people. To-
day, after thirty years effort, this
rate has been reduced to 10 per 1OO,-
900. A decrease in the rates of tu-
berculosis incidence has paralleled
the decline In deaths. The agencies
for apprehending new cases, caring
for sick patients and for preventing
further spread Of the disease are now
efficiently organized and are work.
ing together in united effort.
The county tuberculosis associa-
tions too are striving to make this
anniversary year one of the greatest
in the fight against tuberculosis.
The local Seal Sale Chairmen have
been working for several weeks lay
ing their plans and getting the sale
underway. The chairman for Cecil
county is Mrs. 1. d. Davis, of Elkton.
William B. Matthews, Managing
Director of the Maryland Tubercu-
losis Association, in speaking of the
thirtieth anniversary of the Christ
mas Seal said, 1.-THE citizens of Mary
land who have purchased and used
Christmas Seals during the past
thirty years have reason TO be proud.
TIE anti-tuberculosis work that they
have made possible through these
purchases has saved thousands of
lives and has preserved hundreds Of
homes. Activities such as the Mir
acle House, the statewide clinics,
health education and medical re-
search look to the Christmas Seals
for support and it is hoped that these
agencies will finish the work that
was started thirty years ago."
