The focusing muscles of the eye be-

Bulbs Should Be Checked
Wouldn't it be a good idea to

FR1NGED shades, bare lamp
bulbs, and pools of light are as
out of date as p1umed hats and pro-

mands good taste in lighting, and
good taste is always based on sound

these principles involve portable

not only for decorative harmony,

It has been estimated that today

Forgotten Men
THE PIONEER
PAGE EIGHT

When you think of your Alma
Mater as being North State Con-
ference champs, don't forget "Bat-
tier" Gress. In case you are unin-
formed, the "Battler" is mainly re-
sponsible for our being champions.
AS you all know, Gress managed
the Indian sluggers. (At least he
tried to manage them.) His task
was a difficult one. Besides man.
aging the club, 'Battler" also had
to administer rubdowns, chase
footballs, and sweep the field off
every day. He did these many
things uncomplainingly, and he
deserves a world of credit. When
ever the players would fall into a
slump, the "Battler" would cheer
them up with his putrid jokes. If
the players felt playful, Gress al
ways acted as the stooge. Yes,
indeed, Manager Gress was truly
an all-round man. His rotund
figure was omnipresent at all
times on the baseball field. He
worked so hard that he is now
nothing but a shadow of his for
mer self. (At present he weighs
22o lbs.) A slave to his work,
but the ''Battler" said that the
pennant was worth everything.
He managed a championship ball
club, and from now on he wishes
to be addressed as "John McGraw"
Gress.
(Eolo and Moose)
How many of you knew that
Eolo Cesareo and Moose" Bick-
EFT co-Captained Catawba's Con-
ference champs. I'll wager that
very few of the student body
knew this. Eolo and "Moose"
worked hard for the team this
year. They are both seniors, and
wanted badly to captain a win
ming team. They worked on and
off the field, trying to devise fair
methods of defeating their OPP
ponents. When Elon defeated
Catawba in the latter's final tiff,
it looked bad for the hopes of the
co-captains. Eolo, however, held
firm in his selection of Lenior-
Rhyme over the Christians, and
sure enough the Bears did come
through. Now, Eolo and Moose"
can really bray about their cap
tanning the first Catawba Confer
ence winner in six years.

Reduction Of more than 100000

today, to bring the 1880 million
dollar work relief employment pro-
gram down to the $4,000, 900 maxi
mum set for June 80 by Admins
traitor Harry L. Hopkins.
The cut in employment is nee
essary, the WPA director said, to
balance the employment level at
100000 for the year and keep
within the funds available until
the new work relief program for
the 1936-37 fiscal year, beginning
July !, is ready.
With employment increasing in
other governmental work, partic-
ularly the heavy construction
work Of PWA, the War and Navy
Departments, and flood control,
rapid reduction in WPA forces Is
necessary, aides Of Hopkins
pointed out, to keep the payroll
within the limit Of funds avail
able.
The WPA reduction program
began in April in the South, and
has extended rapidly during May.
For the week ending May 16,
WPA cut off $4,000 workers.
While New York State headed
the list, with 1855 cut off from
its 1894 persons employed the
previous week, New York city,
with 217,108 employed, dropped
only 100 in the same week.

BALTIMORE, Md, October 20.--
Detectives here today uncovered at
least part Of the strange past Of .
3-year-oid boy who was abandoned on
a doorstep Sunday with note saying
his mother was in . Washington hos
pital.
Additional information was dis
closed by persons who recognized the
childs picture in the newspapers yes
terday afternoon. A taxi driver, Fred
Broadbeck, volunteered the fact that
he left the child on the doorstep.
Other persons reported that the
child had been boarding with Mr..
and Mrs. John Fischer in an East Bal
timore suburb. The Fischers ex-
planned the boy was brought to their
home several weeks ago by a couple
who said they were Mr.. and Mrs. JOS
eph T1an.
Mrs. T1an said she knew Mrs. Fisch-
er's daughter in New York and Tlan
explained he was a travelling sales
man. The couple boarded the child
at the Fischer home and paid the sum
due every week.
On Sunday. according to Fischer.
Tlan said his wife had gone to a
Washington hospital to have q baby.
Fischer said he would prefer not to
board the boy longer and Tlan ex-
planned he would make other arrange
ments
He bundled up the boys belongings
and left with him. The taxi driver
said a man gave him the child Sunday
and asked him to take him to his
mother" giving an address at 63s
West Franklin street.
The hacker rang the bell there and
left the boy and his belongings, which
included q bundle of clothing, toys
fruit and candy. The taxicab driver
also left a note given him by the man
Mrs. Lena Wright, who answered the
doorbell. found the boy and his bundle
on her doorstep, but was unable to
recall the taxicab driver for an ex-
PLANTATION.
The home is next door to the Mary
land Society for Prevention of Cruelty
to Children.
The note gave the name Of the
childs mother, explained she was in q
Washington hospital, and added that
the writer was not the child's father.
A Juvenile Court judge assigned the
boy to boarding house until his
parentage can be determined.
Efforts to locate the child's mother
in Washington have not been sue
cessful.

ing its effect here and there are those
who hesitate to make change in ad-
ministration. Out in the country
many farmers are on relief Of one kind
or another. The record heat of last
Summer ruined their crops. Missouri
has large relief list, both in the cities
and in the rural sections. The Demo-
Gratis are counting on large per-
centage of this relief vote-and they
are likely to get 1t.
Advantage for Roosevelt.
Summing 1t all up, the Roosevelt
ticket seems to have the advantage.
In 1920. 1924 and 1923 the State gave
its electoral votes to Republican presi-
dental candidates There was q
tremendous reyulsion of political
sentiment in Missouri-after the
World War. Furthermore, in 1924
and 1928 times were prosperous and
there was no unhorsing the Repub-
lican party under those conditions
But when the crash came in 1929 and
the depression deepened. the State
swung all the way over to the Demo-
cratic side and gave Roosevelt the
greatest vote ever accorded . presi-
dental candidate In Missouri.
The Republicans now have only q
single member Of the Missouri dele
CATION in the House, Dewey Short.
The other IL Representatives are all
Democrats. The State has . Demo-
cratic Governor and two Democratic
Senators. and the State employees and
officials from janitor to Governor are
Democratic. Here again is q picture
Of tremendous odds against the Re-
publicans. Only . real hate" for
Roosevelt and his New Deal could
upset the Democrats here.
The Republicans are hopeful OF
picking up one congressional district,
the eleventh. and they have an out
side chance in the sixth district, de-
pending probably on how strongly the
Republican ticket runs in the State.
