WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. B, Delegate Anthony J. Dimond said today that the PWA had approved of the plan calling for I nety thousand dollar loan and a thirty thousand dollar grant to finance the construction of a dies el powered plant to serve Sew ard with electrical energy.
 The proposal is subject to final presidential action.
 The plant would be operated by the city. Application for the loan and grant to finance nun icipal hydroelectric plant was approved in 1883, to cost one hundred and sixteen thousand dollars.
 Later investigations, Dimond said showed that the amount was insufficient, so new program calling for the expenditure of hundred and sixty-six thousand dollars was submitted, but con- tractors submitted bids far over the amount figured on.
 Subsequently the PWA revised plans and providing plans for T diesel plant, costing not more than one hundred and twenty thousand dollars.

Many people were down town at noon today to see the sports program and the appearance of Santa Claus, and it was notable there were plenty of contestants in the sports events to make the affair exciting.
 Unfortunately, at the last min ute, it was impossible to obtain the six reindeer for Sants's team and it was necessary for Santa to drive thru Nome by dog team.
 Later Santa Claus appeared at Polet's Store, where nearly one hundred children were waiting and there distributed many gifts to the young Alaskans who were present.
 This evening, commencing promptly at 8 p.m., the program will get under way, and it was announced that the doors would be open to the public at 2 pm.

Your BengalS gave a far more
convincing performance against
the Griffs yesterday than anything
the Red Sox showed us.
Little Joe Sullivan, the Tiger
left-hander, turned in another fine
performance that was reminiscent
Of his start last year. Perhaps you
recall how the little fellow went
out and won half q dozen games
before he turned in a loser. After
the hot weather set in he was not
so effective, but there's time to
suffer with the heat when it comes.

And once again the Tigers have

it's one at a time or in clusters,
the runs get over the plate.
And don't doubt the power of
those Tigers. GoSlin cleared the
right-field fence and Greenberg
cleared the barrier into the
bleachers. We are used to saying
that those fences are a long way

When you've chanted the last

Col. John Lands, nephew of
Judge KeneSaw Lands, now sta
toned at the War College was
another guest-paying of course
at the park. He told Griff that
as q lad he had seen Griffith
pitch in Chicago.
Linke's pitching to Greenberg
in the fourth was not so perfect.
The Tiger first Sacker hammered
the ball over Powell'S head for a
double. A run was not long in
developing. Simmons fouled to
Kuhel, Greenberg taking third.
Goslin lined to Powell and Hank
scored the second Detroit run.
Owen swung viciouSly as Linke
turned on his best knuckle ball.
The first one was q strike and
the next one was soft fly
which Bolton took in front Of
the plate.
Those Tigers believe in yelling
for their hits. When Hill lost
Fox'S fly in that wicked left field
sun they shouted from the
bench: "Two-baSe hit"
The Griffs over.reached them
selves a bit in the last half Of
the fifth. With one run in and
Linke on first, Hill singled to right
on the hit and run play. Fox's
throw bounced away from Owen
and Linke tried to score. He was
an easy victim at the plate on
Owens peg to Cochrane.
Goose GoSlin drove in a run per
time at bat up to and including
the sixth inning. The first time
up he hit home run. The next
time UP he scored Greenberg with
a long fly. He did the same for
Simmons in the sixth. Not bad,

Dy "A4eASE4 NAAGRsS
One of those "big time was had
by all" days promises to rule at
the Western Stadium Friday
when the wv" Club Of Western
High School stages its annual
celebration.
The more one scans the pro
gram, the more the thought
is realized. For instance what
promises to be as entertaining as
the softball game between the
girl and boy teams of the school?
This contest will be unusual in
that the boys will play left
handed and the girls with their
right "paws."
A game between the Western
and Loyola High mines Is the pro-
grammed feature Of the afternoon.
But the softball clash probably
will steal the show.
Action at $3.50
All activities start at 2:30 p. m.
Besides the sports events therell
be q cadet drill by every company
at Western. At night an elaborate
dance in the Western gymnasium
will bring the day to a close.
Because Of this day" the

The Georgetowners will be out
to stop the Mt. Pleasanters. who
triumphed in their first series
appearance last week, defeating
Tech. IL to 9. To turn the trick,
Coach Cliff Moore will have his
two best pitchers ready to go,
namely Lee Kushman, lanky
left-hander. and Ted Kinsman,
vet right-hander.
To counter. George Rowles
again will ascend the mound for
Central. Rowles hurled alright
ball against Tech for six innings
last week, but let down percep-
tibly after his mates had gath
cred an 11-run lead. Then when
he tried to bear down in the
late innings he found he had lost
his stuff. He was fortunate to
beat the Manual Trainers.
Eastern Triumphs
Eastern High got away to a
flying start in its debut in the
series yesterday. The Lincoln
Parkers collected 10 various hits
off two Roosevelt High hurlers to
triumph by a 13-to-8 count. .
Wade Pembroke was the Guyon
teams moundsman. Although
touched for nine bingleS he always
had enough to stop the Riders
when they threatened too danger
ously. But for precaution, Coach
Charlie Guyon withdrew the tall
right-hander in the ninth in favor
of Recruit Pitcher DeShard, who
retired the side.
Roosevelt's apparent need, tax
ing yesterdays game as an indica-
ton, is pitching. Howard Bowers.

THE GOLDFISH HOWL

A few weeks ago, newspapers
throughout the land ran on theil
first pages lists Of salaries paid to
executives Of big corporations. The
lists are still being made public in
Washington. but they no longer hit
the front page. Why?
Well, in brief, the salary lists
have lost their Shock value" If, in
deed, they ever had it. To be news,
any item must contain some ele-
ment Of shock or surprise. It deVel-
ops that the salaries paid to cOrpor-
alton executives were neither shock
ing nor surprising except to some
folks who found that their neighbors
were putting UP a better front than
their incomes justified.
Nobody has yet said why the gold
fish bowl publicity. It may have
been an attempt to force salaries
down. It certainly hasn't achieved
that objective. It has encouraged
some firms to bid for the services of
a desirable man who appeared un-
derpaid by his present employer. It
has made lots of stockholders mad.
The stockholders say that salaries
should be commensurate with ser
vices, and that it would be difficult
in many instances to pay too much
for competent judgment and lead
ership. Merryle Stanley Rukeyser,
an instructor in the School of Jour
