A Record-Breaking Series.

With the world series out Of the way,
there is nothing to distract national atten-
tion from the political campaign, which
is in its last stage. The series itself was
a rousing spectacle, whether watched by
the tens of thousands who crowded into
the ball parks in New York or by the
greater multitudes who followed it game
by game before the mechanical score
boards in the cities or who heard the
play-by-play descriptions given over the
radio. Though the final result was fore
shadowed by the happenings of the first
contest, when the Giants were beaten
with their best pitcher performing. the
interest was maintained throughout the
series, and indeed there were moments
in the final game when 1t seemed likely
that it might 60 to the ultimate limit of
seven games.
Undoubtedly the better team won. 1t
made IS base hits to so by the opposition.
1t made six errors to seven. 1t scored 43
runs to %. 1t used only is players. while
% were utilized by the losers. 1t was
exceeded in achievements only in the
matter of double plays, with seven to
three. Six pitchers were required as
against seven.
This series established a record for
paid attendance. with 302,924 persons
present on purchased tickets. The gross
receipts were $1,3O4, ,399, the highest in
the history of the game, the second
highest being 81 POT ,ss4, ten years ago.
when the st. Louis Cardinals" beat the
New York yankees" in a seven-game
series. Hence each individual players
share touched high mark. at $6,440 for
the winners and $4,029 for the losers.
Altogether a very profitable enterprise.
Washington has not always been a
mere spectator on these occasions. 1t has
participated in three world series, in
1924, when its team took the series from
the New York Giants; in 1925, when 1t
lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates" and in
1888, when it yielded the palm to the
Giants" This year 1t finished fourth
and therefore it shares in the supple
mentary distribution.
These p0st-season contests constitute
the supreme drama Of the sport. They
are always full of thrills and surprises.
The games themselves are not invariably
ideal contests, but in the main they
present the sport at its best, for tensity
of interest, for attendance and for the
possibility of startling denouenlent. In
the world series games. as in those others
that are played day after day during the
season, the final decree is not to be had
until, in the parlance Of the game, the
last man is out in the last inning. That
is what makes base ball the greatest
spectators sport.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE,

other day at Asheville, NJ C.. The
viscountess said she finds 'revitalized
America" today in place of the she'll
shocked patient" of four years ago.
That's the whole New Deal recovery
argument in tabloid Because of her
Virginian origin and background the
unconventional former Nancy Lang
horne might not consider it inappro-
pirate to mount ancestral Democratic
hustings.
Word comes from Kansas that despite
sunfiower pride. its nine electoral votes
are by no means a lead-pipe cinch for
Landon. Republican leaders believe the
Governor will carry the State, but con-
cede privately that they have a fight
on their hands which will have to be
kept up until the polls close Democrats,
on their part, are confident that nothing
but an eleventh hour outburst of enthu-
Siasm for the homegrown product can
save the day for Landon. The circum-
stance that roundly $40O, 900 900 of New
Deal bounty-dubbed Roosevelt money"
at Topeka-has been dumped into Kan
sas and that more farm checks are soon
due Is the specter that fills the most
fervent Landonians with anxiety about
their hero's domestic prospects.
II
About the most useful piece of cam
paign literature issued from any quarter
certainly the most n-partisan-is
l4-page pamphlet just compiled by Col.
Edwin A. Halsey, secretary of the Senate.
1t contains graphic record of the cleo
toral vote for President by the principal
political parties from 1900 to 1882, in
elusive; the popular vote for President
and Vice President in 1882, and the votes
for Senators and Representatives by
parties and States in 1884. The pamphlet
also reproduces excerpts from the Con-
stitution and statutes regarding elections.
With respect to mugwumpery in both
Democratic and Republican camps, of
which more will be heard before elec-
ton, the consensus is that no defec-
ton of any kind would begin to ap-
proximate the damage that would be
done Roosevelt If Senator Carter Glass
had left the reservation. Democratic
leaders in communicative moments con-
cede that the refusal of the veteran Vir-
ginian to desert the President, despite
Glass hostility to much of the New
Deal, is one of the most helpful breaks
the party has had. The Senator's loyalty
Is q signal to thousands of the Jeffer-
sonian persuasion that If he can stomach
events of the past three years to the
extent of remaining regular, they have
q perfect alibi in following suit.

rically opposite results, the average citi-
zen is left in q pale blue quandary. The

that have hitherto enjoyed oracular
prestige, 1t may be the death kneil of
such attempts to unscrew the politically

Italy Gets in Line.

After little more than week of heSi-
tation, Italy has followed the devalua-
ton lead of France, Switzerland and
the Netherlands, and cut the gold con-
tent Of the lira by forty-one per cent.
Its value has been established at 10 to
the dollar and 9246 to the pound. 1t
will leave the liras American parity at
approximately So cents. Thus the Fas-
cist government steps promptly and
effectually into line with the Anglo
Franco-American stabilization agree
ment and pledges Italy to play her full
part in promoting that world economic
recovery which is the ultimate goal Of
the epochal currency developments Of
the past ten days. Rome concurs in
the action on the ground that it is
zone of the necessary conditions for
collaboration among the peoples toward
peace"
Coincident with devaluation, Mussolini
has instituted drastic measures, to safe
guard Italy from economic derange-
ments that might flow from lira depre-
ciation These steps are designed es-
sentially to revive foreign trade and
prevent mounting living costs. Tariff
duties on such necessities as meat, olive
oil, poultry, eggs, coal, grain and cereals
are to be heavily reduced. Property
owners are required to lend the govern
nnent cash, under a 25-year repayment
plan, up to five per cent of their real
estate holdings, as an aid to national
budget balancing. Landlords, hotels and
utility companies will be compelled to
maintain present rates for two years.
There are to be new taxes on stock
dividends and corporation profits. Under
the unrestricted powers vested in the
authoritarian regime, Italy can accom-
plish all these purposes by simple de-
cree. II Duce has no such parliamentary

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

An old book. unlike an old man. cannot
stitution.
II drink liquor" or IT never drink; II
have always smoked" or II have never
smoked"
No, nothing of that sort.
An old book owes its modern goodness
to just two things-good materials in
manufacture long ago and loving care
thereafter.
It is upon this latter quality one would
concentrate, because the love Of books
surely has room in 1t for proper care.
Whether q volume Is old or new. for
that matter, real care in handling Is
necessary. if 1t is to come down through
the years in good shape.
Whether or not they have value as
collectors items Is distinctly another
matter.
That they are old, or moderately old,
means that somehow, through the years,
they have not been banged around, that
they have been handled carefully, either
as the result of not being read at all,
carefully placed on shelf. or in being
read with loving hands as well as hearts.

much as humans, If they are to be kept
in good shape over the years.
Care in housing them properly in cases,
preferably with glass doors, cannot make
up for careless handling once they are
out Of them.
Whenever and wherever you find an
old book, say SO to 100 years, in very fine
condition, you can be pretty sure that
loving hands have held it IN the past.
Careless people will handle books care
lessly!
Unfortunately, but even they in time
NAV come to a better understanding
For care, in this respect, Is easy enough.
Just as it costs no more to feed a
thoroughbred dog, so 1t requires no more
thought to take care Of a book while
reading 1t than 1t does to dog-ear the
covers turn down the corner OF pages.
smear foodstuffs over them and in other
ways spoil a beautiful volume.
These thoughts came the other day in
looking over q pile OF fine old volumes,
gathered together in England. where they
love books and shipped to this country,
where at last they came to be spread out
for sale.
Though these books ranged in age from
so to 100 years, each and every one was
in the condition which bespoke loving
care over the ages. Time had dulled the
gold of the titles and given some Of the
pages the spotted look often found in old
books, but in the main they were in
excellent condition, which told the
trained eye, as nothing else could, that
in their interesting past they had received
the best Of attention, not only in regard
to shelf room, but also in the actual
reading.
Had indeed. they been read at all?
Careful examination showed In almost
all cases that they had. They were not
museum pieces in any sense. nor yet
valuable enough to be collectors items.
They simply were good old books. which
had been given stout bindings. excellent
paper in manufacture and then gone into
homes where. for one reason or another.
they were treasured.
Some of them had been prize books, the
giving Of which was a fine old custom,
unfortunately gone out of style. but prob
ably will come back again some day, since
it was such q good custom. All good
things have a way of coming back.

"Lunatic Fringe." ="

Theodore Roosevelt popularized, per.
maps invented, the phrase "lunatic
fringe" to describe persons who agitate
for unsound policies OF government.
And it may be supposed that he spoke
with some authority on the subject.
since, in the Judgment of reactionaries
like Mark Hanna, he himself had been
regarded as q "crazy man."
But the exact boundaries of the epithet
are indefinite. Much, it seems, depends
upon the angle Of approach. Stalwarts
of the type Of Uncle Joe Cannon and
Nelson w. Aldrich reasonably enough
look upon all reformers as "quacks"-
particularly If the reformers are so con-
hdent and so enthusiastic as to devise
anything in the way Of cures for the
evils they deplore. Carrie Nation, for
example, invited classification with the
insane when she welded her hatchet
on the mahogany and mirrors of gin
mills. Only a frenzied fanatic, it was
agreed, would be capable Of actual war
fare on the liquor traffic.
And there is substantial ground for
believing the average apostle OF drastic
change somewhat "off balance" Eugene
Debs was utterly irrational in his advo-
cacy of socialism; William Jennings
Bryan was touched" with respect to
"free silver" and the Darwinian theory
Of evolution; Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst

internationally, Italy's Adhesion to the
stabilization movement is significant
from many standpoints. It leaves vir-
tually only the Soviet Union, Poland and
Germany outside. The Germans are
believed to be on the verge Of COM
pulsory concurrence. They are said to
be holding out in the hope OF deriving
politica. advantage. Some reports credit
Hitler with the wishful thought that
delay may bring him colonial conces-
sions-an aspiration which has just been
firmly frowned upon by the dominant
Conservative party in Great Britain. 1t
can hardly be doubted that Mussolini
appreciated in its full implications the
demonstration of economic solidarity
among the worlds three leading de-
mocracies and decided that even the
European relationships cannot expect
ultimately to prevail against such a COM
bination. Another incentive is Italy's
yearning to retrieve her international
commercial position, SO seriously i'm
paired by the Ethiopian sanctions.
Perhaps the most widely gratifying
result of current fiscal events is the
crumbling, along with the gold bloc. Of
the archaic system of prohibitive tariffs,
import quotas, exchange controls and
other artificial barriers to commerce.
Italy now emulates France in this di-
rectlon. 1t is q result that must bring
special satisfaction to Secretary Cordell
Hull, who has literally grown gray in
advocacy of international trade on the
basis of reciprocity lines and now wit
nesses the triumph of that principle on
far-fiung practical lines.

habit Of buying for themselves. This
often gave them feeling Of fear, per-
haps, In the actual reading, in that they
might soil or otherwise damage them.
| This plain fear of book lives today
In many who love them most.
Yet careful handling, true loving care,
Is not at all difficult, once one makes up
the mind to 1t. The earlier this attitude
is attained the better for ones books.
1t will be found that 1t is just as easy
to be careful with q book as careless
with it.
Ordinary fingers, rather than artists
fingers, are enough, il behind the fingers
| Is the will to use them well.
Not only must a book be regarded as
an essentially fragile thing in makeup,
but also as something precious.
Once these two ideas coalesce, there
is no real difficulty about the matter.
To say that such composite idea
makes reading uneasy and dificult is
nonsense.
What it does do is make the book safe.
The Stoutest binding may come apart

Of steel.
The sturdiest pages will tear and soil
II grabbed as one might stick of wood,
or used as napkin.
Manual dexterity is needed in handling
reading matter, but fortunately 1t is
skill which any one may attain.
There are certain fundamentals to
keep in mind. One is that no book should
be forcibly seized and flung open. thus
breaking it at place where it ever after
ward opens.
Another is that the fingers are most
sensitive on the tips. and that the tips
therefore, are the proper parts of the
fingers to touch the pages in turning
them.
1t will be found that there is a rare
book sense in the finger tips, and that by
utilizing this. with a little attention to
the matter, any book may be handled
without ever bending or tearing the
pages.
Once care is taken not to "break" the
back of book and to turn the pages with
finger tips, rather than by main force of
the entire hand, the next essential is to
avoid doing anything else to the book
which will bend, twist, soil or otherwise
deface it.
1t must be kept in mind that properly
made book has life far longer than that
of a man, and that those who are to
handle it in the ages to come will silently
thank you some day If you handle it
carefully now.
This continuity of the tribe Of book
lovers is an enheartening thing.
1t speaks with certainty of the fact
that no book ever goes to waste, but
always finds some one to value and love
it over the years. If only it is in condi-
tion which does not repel.
Loving care down the years keeps a
book young, though the date on the
title page or the back thereof may speak
to the contrary.
II sometimes one carries this to ex-
tremes and becomes finicky, the error at
least Is in the right direction. Few good
books ever suffered from too much care,
but many from a little too little
1t Is noticeable that old books had
stouter covers than those of today, as a
general proposition, so that good care
now especially means keeping new ones
tightly pressed together. preferably in
cases, to prevent warping.
