Grievance
In Again
Bv KIRK MILLER
Tin1es Sports Editor

tunes SpOTtS EoIIOT
One of the hazards of sitting
down to write a piece for the
paper every day is that some
times you're likely to start
something.
We started a little conflagra-
ton 10 days ago by turning
this column into a report Of
the grievance commit e,
wherein the criticisms of sew
eral fans anent several sports
were given breath.
Belongs To The Fans
Since then we have been made
a sort of clearing house for COM
plants about this and that, and,
because. in a sense, this column
and these sports pages belong es-
sentially to the sport fans, why
shouldn't they have their day in
court as often as the traffic OF
news and comment will permit?
The first case on the docket to-
day, therefore, has to do with
last Saturdays track and field
day at Maryland University. The
plaintiff deposes and says:
"A feature of the field day
at Maryland University Satur-
day was the interschOlaStic
track meet in which the high
schools of the District of Column
bia, Maryland and one of New
Jersey (Peddie) were present.
But the MereerSburg Academy
Of Pennsylvania also was pres
emit. 1t is the entry Of this
school, a school whose students
are graduates of high schools
that I am writing in an effort
to get your good paper to pro-
test against such entries in the
future.

OH during the winter and spring
while following the grazing we usu-
ally have a pretty good aftermath to
feed our soil on.
The general farmer, scattered far
and wide, finds that rye fits in nigh
ty well as winter and spring pas
ture, and as a winter-grown, green
manure crop; he should find that rye
has hardness and dependability,
such as are manifested in no other
plant of the crop world, no matter
much in what sort of a climate or
soil it has been set to work.
Every cotton farmer should use a
vast quantity of rye for it is one
winter crop that never fails for him,
and one which always gives full
moneys worth when turned under to
be followed by cash crop in the
spring.

AFTER FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

The official ending of Fire Prevention Week-which
observed between October 18th and 10th this year
should certainly not bring end to the public interest
and enthusiasm the Week created.
We should regard the Week as seven-day matter
but as fit starting point for personal campaign par
hcpated in by every citizen that will the 365 days
OF the Only if that is done the Week produce
real and permanent good results.
In number of past years. fire loss dropped sharply
during the Week and for short period thereafter Then
has risen again to the regular level In other words
we applied the lessons learned when they fresh in
Our m1ndsbut forgot them almost as New Years
Resolutions. So long that situation continues our
national fire loss will remain at isgracefuy high levels
Every property owner easily carry year-round
campaign against fire. At regular intervals he should in
spect his heating plant and electric wiring should not
permit the accumulation of old newspapers clothes and
general debris He should pay constant attention the
storage of nflammabe liquids paints varnshes and sim
lar articles which present fire hazard In he does
some building rebuilding he should personally make
certain that high standard of freressant construction
is attained.
There is certainly nothing difficult about such pro-
gram takes little time and costs next to nothing in
money And it may your home and your life.
"A household motto should read: Regard every week
as Fire Prevention Week."

DOWN ON THE FARM
By ABE CROSBY

ed. A summer hail usually left de-
struction in its path.
The "Man-AbOut- Town
Did you ever get lonesome No,
no one ever gets lonesome in the
country where the horses know you
and greet you every time you go to
the barn; where the cows recognize
you when you go into the pasture
after them in the morning or night:
where the pigs come squealing from
out the tall grass at the sound of
your call, and every chick or hen on
the place knows you by your feed
basket or whistle. You feel that you
amount to something out there, don't
you? In the busy life of the city you
would be but grains of sand grinned
by smoke-begrimed buildings. AS a
farmer you speak to all you meet
while on the road, whether you know
them or not. Not so if you were a
"man-about-town."
1t Never Fails
Rye has proved to be, Tor us, the
one grain crop adapted to every sort
of hard-time conditions. Poor land.
acid land, sandy land, hard winters,
dry springs, insects and plant di-
seases all look pretty much alike

/ Aron CneFe many HHe SOllS III
this old world if you scratch 'em
deep enough? Nurturing the soil,
therefore, could be the most import
ant labor of man, for the equal right
of every man to the use of land is
as clear as his equal right to breathe
the air-a right proclaimed by the
mere fact of his existence.
We are land animals and cannot
live without our land. All we pro-
duce comes from the land, and as
children of the soil we come from the
land-the very breast of Mother
Earth, from which we must draw
nourishment or perish.
No man should, therefore, have the
right to impoverish his soil. No man
should have the right to skin the
land, butcher it up, and sell the hide,
hoof, bone, and tallow, too. No man
has a right to take hold upon that
which is deep and true; to remain on
his farm as if waiting for the world
to pass his way; to stand among his
clods with his feet rooted deep with
in his soil, and continue to rob it of
its life-giving substances and the
nations prosperity.
"We are working to make living
for ourselves and our families; we
are working to produce profitable
crops, or a fine bunch of fat hogs, or
good quality of butter; but we are
working also to make the labor of all
farming people more profitable, to
Danish ugliness from our homes, to
fill the lives of our children with love
for achievement and with reverence
for truth and justice. We are work
ing for today, and for tomorrow, and
for the generations that are to come
when for you and me there will be no
tomorrow" were the words, almost
the last ones for the late E. E. Miller>
How else can this almost utopia
be achieved other than by blowing
deep our fine soils and maintaining
their productiveness
Watching For Rain
Did we welcome the recent rains
that fell on these mountain tops? 1
have never lost interest in clouds,
especially in dry weather, that l had
when a farm boy. The study of
clouds during dry spell reached
climax just before what appeared
would be shower. Emotions seemed
to be tense. There was hope and joy
when expectations were filled. 9th
erwise there was keen disappoint-
ment.
Many were the times when father

and thunder slipped into high gear
and the clouds seemed to be headed

roar of thunder. Next you could see
rainstreaks, great ribbons of water
falling from the skies; the light
places in the clouds grew dark; more
lightning and thunder, perhaps a
hard wind and usually covey of
buzzards preceded it; the clouds grew
blacker with green tint and t h e

NATIONAL MUSIC
CENTER IS URGED
Brown, Violinist, Thinks
Washington Can Rank
With Berlin, Vienna.

Washington should-and could-be
a national music center comparable
to Berlin, Vienna and other European
CAPITALS, according to Eddy Brown,
master of the bow.
Visualizing a national conservatory,
with American artists as starred per-
formers. the New York violiniSt, who
opened a six weeks course Of inStruc-
ton here yesterday under the man
agement of Elena de Sayn, director
of Concerts Intimes, is emphatic in
his belief that the best in American
music should be centralized in this
city.
"New York-it will always be the
commercial center" Brown declared.
But the best in music is not COM
mercialized. The Capital, with its
marvellous library facilities and its
natural advantages as the focal point
of the Nation, offers every oppor-
tunity for the cultivation of the fine
arts"
And American artists should be
featured the violinist elaborated.
During the past season at the Metro
politan-which has its pick of foreign
stars, of courSe-American have been
getting most of the acclaim. American
composers are certainly on as high a
level as any European composers, and
then there are American performers,
such as Ponselle and Tibbett."
Brown, who teaches in New York,
has a half dozen musical irons in
the fire.
He is musical adviser to the radio
station WOR and appears on two
WOR programs each week; is pres
ident of the Chamber of Music Soci-
ETY. Of America, which he organized
three years ago; makes periodical
concert tours; has completed series
of six lectures on the Complete
History of the Violin" which he will
deliver in Washington; and in odd
moments is working on a book in
which he is compiling the methods
of approximately eight master violin
lists of the past $50 years.
Born in Chicago, he became hoy
wonder" at years of age. and when
he was began intensive musical in
struction at the Budapest Conserva-
tory, under Jeno Hubay, Hungarian
master. Later he studied under
Leopold Aeur.
Radio. he says, is populariZing good
music" to certain extent and pre-
diets that the near future will see
or 1eaSt ono station entirely dnvnted
to the presentation of musical COM
position of the higher type. In fact,
he admits he's been called into con-
sulation with sponsors of such sta
ton already.
AS for child prodigies, Brown-who
was considered one in his youth-sees
nothing unusual in them Most Of
the great artists start very, very
young, he says.
