of all concerns having Government
contracts.
That a constitutional amendment
may not be necessary to extend fed
eral powers in case Mr. Roosevelt
was reelected is being pointed out by
some observers An alternative that
is now being seriously discussed is the
suggestion that Congress could readily
enact laws extending the rights of
trade and industrial associations to
cooperate voluntarily for the mutual
regulation of such questions as hours
and wages of labor. apportionment of
production, etc.
An Example has been provided in
the recent action of the railroads in
getting together and reaching an
agreement with their employees, in
anticipation of the consolidation of all
the railroads of the nation into a few
great national systems. This con-
solidation has been the dream of far
seeing railroad men for years, and
has been the particular hobby of
Joseph c. Eastman, Federal co-ordin-
ator of railroads.
The Rail Problem
The principal obstacle in the way
of the acceptance of Mr.. Eastman's
plan of railroad consultations has
been the problem of hoy to take care
of the railroad employees who would
be dropped from the payrolls, or
shifted to other parts of the country
The plan upon which the railroad
companies and the railway labor
brotherhoods have agreed provides
for pensioning or else continuing for
long time on the payrolls of work.
ers whose services would not be need
ed and for covering the moving ex-
penses of those retained who would
be shifted to points remote from their
present homes. No new legislation
was needed to arrive at this agree
ment, SO the way now seems to be
pretty well cleared toward a complete
reorganization of the railways Of the
nation.
Pre- Convention Talk
The political picture, which still
focuses chiefly upon the Republican
National Convention which meets at
Cleveland next week, appears to be
getting clearer All Of the signs
point now to the nomination of Gov
Alfred M. Landon by the Republi-
cans on the second or third ballot
Estimates of his strength made by
several different political strategists
are in substantial agreement He will
have 348 instructed delegates who
will, of course, vote for him on the
first ballot There will be about $50
votes for "favorite sons" en- this first
ballot, most Of whom, as well as
large percentage of the Knox and
Borah delegates, are expected to
swing to Landon on the second or
third ballot
On the Democratic side the mcst
important event affecting the party's
prospects is the declaration of Gov
Lehman of New York that he will
not be a candidate for reelection Mr.
Roosevelt can conceivably be reflect
ed without New York, but his friends
are concerned over his prospects in
his home state with anyone else than
Mr.. Lehman running for Governor.
Lehman has been the greatest vote
getter the Democrats have ever had
in New York. With most voters vot-
ing the straight ticket, Gov. Leh-
mans popularity would help greatly
to carry New York for the Admins
tration.

field beyond the secondary defense.
However, the play didn't work out
that way. Larry called it four times
within a few minutes. and in every
case the ends were unable to get past
the defending backs. Coach Curtis
criticized them sharply. and called
for the play again.
Larry barked the signal. took the
ball, and faded back, watching the
ends as they sped down the field.
Neither of them got clear. Then sud-
denly he saw that Bill Winters. left
halfback, had broken through. With
a yell to Bill, Larry shot hard. low
pass to him. Bill took it. cut toward
the sideline, and was going for sure
touchdown when Coach Curtis stopped
the play with shrill blast of his
whistle.
NORTH" he roared at Larry as the
players gathered around him. What's
the idea of feeding Winters that pass?
You know one of the ends is TO re-
ceive on that play"
T AIRY was excited with what he
thought was an important discov-
cry. But look. Coach" he cried. The
plays better If Bill gets the pass.
Neither of the ends has been able to
get clear-the defensive backs are
right on top of them every time.
But Bill has got loose each time we've
tried it. Haven't you, Bill?"
Bill Winters nodded eagerly, and
started to speak, but Coach Curtis
stopped him with a furious gesture.
Who's running this team. you or
me?" he cried. The ends are sup
posed to receive the pass on that play,
and you'll pass to the ends!"
But Coach" Larry protested, "the
plays wrong The ends just can't
get loose if the other team is using a
6-2-2-1 defense, like Mount Cairn
uses. And Bill can. The half
back"
Get off the field!" roared Coach
Curtis You, North-go on! Get
of! If YOU won't call the plays the
way tell you to. you can try sitting
on the bench"
Larry gazed at the coach in shocked
amazement. Then he pulled off his
headguard and walked toward the
sideline. Coach Curtis called Jasper
from the second team to play first
string quarter. and waved one of the
substitutes into the scrub lineup.
Several of the players gazed after
Larry. Others kept their eyes on the
ground. Nobody looked at the coach,
whose face was still drawn into lines
of fury.

Flicker Couple
Has an Unusual
Home Setting
Bv Horace Mitchell.

THIS story was contributed by
Philippa Rowland. 1t is the his
tory of q pair of flickers, and their
unusual home and family.
I'VE had noticed the pair in the
Spring, hunting for dead tree in the
woods by our fence. We hoped they
would nest close by us, so We could
watch them, and also because they
would do good to our garden. And
to our delight. they did.
while they were making their
home 1 would wake up early in the
morning and hear them squawking
their heads of. About 10 in the
morning they would settle down and
start to pound. In about 10 days
they had the carpenter work COM
pleted and then they started to line
the inside of the hole. They used
dead roots and few feathers.
Several days later I noticed that
the eggs were laid. About three weeks
later / went out to watch them, and
to my amazement saw four baby
f1ickers sticking their heads out of
four different holes. Never in my life
before had seen such a home.
Sometimes two of the babies would
try to get their heads into one Of the
holes, and there would be fight. One
day 1 saw the mother woodpecker get
into tine home with the young, and
wondered how she was going to stay
there and not sufiocate. Presently I
looked up and there was the mother

Foot Ball Lineman g
Should Vary His
Defensive Ckarge
By Horace Webber
Dapis. I'd.

I IKE base ball pitcher, foot ball
lineman must vary his charge on
the defense, but he must have his
ability seasoned by experience to make
his judgment sound. 1t is one thing
to understand and be able to carry out
a coach's instructions in practice, and
quite another to carry out the same
instructions in an actual game.
II q lineman is to perform his Job
effectively on the defense, his eve must
be on the ball. The split second lost
when the ball is snapped back cam
not easily be made up. 1t is surprising
| but true that many college players
have difficulty in watching the ball.
But they get over this fault. or get
out! 1t is fundamental and highly
important. -.-.
The same charge may be used both
extensively and defensively, but the
defense offers the opportunity for more
and recovery is more effective. but the
beginner should be careful about using
it. -
No good player will try to get into
the offensive backfield by going around
in back of his own line, but some
try it when they have not yet learned
better 1t is difficult to get through
good line very often. but piling it
up with a low, fast. and hard chares
is a, effective when it is done con.
sistently. Until one has learned to
size up plays through experience. he
should never leave his position. Only
the keenest observation and experience
give license to do this.
After good charge is developed,
"bull-pen," or two against one, is the
best practice for offensive and defen-
sive scrimmage. The couple try to
take the single player to the right or
left. and open hole for the imaginary
back, while the latter tries TO break
through his opponents.
1t Is natural reaction to close
your eyes or lower your head when
something is about to hit you around
the shoulders. but this must be over
come. The head must be carried well
DdSA VII blIc WIFI Tic eyes
always open. 1t is easier to duck a
knee and make a correct, hard tackle
when one can see what he is doing.
A w.rStler's bridge is the most ef-
fective neck strengthener. The weight
is supported on the balls of the feet
and the head in this bridging exercise,
and the weight should be rolled back
and forth TO work the neck muscles.
The best linemen are always alert
on the ball, down the field to block
for a runner when they can, or ready
to make tackle when their opponents
have the ball A lineman cannot be
lazy or stupid, for team is as good
as its eleventh man. A brilliant back
can get nowhere without blockers to
protect his passes or start him on his
way to the open field.

planned why-I'm sensitive to them. OF
something. They make me deathly
sick whenever eat them"
Coach Curtis glowered. and his short
hair actually seemed to bristle. Eggs
never made anybody SICK" he snorted
That's just a notion you have. Eggs
are one Of the best foods there are
You eat two day. like l said
But just"
mo butts about it," Coach Curtis's
voice was almost roar. Those train
ing rules are meant to be followed
and you'll follow them or get of the
squad"
T AIRY gazed at the man for mo-
ment in sheer amazement. Then
he turned ana walked away, marveling
that a trivial matter like a couple OF
eggs could make anybody SO unrea-
sonable.
But from that moment on Larry
was little skeptical about the new
coach. The matter of the eggs was
never mentioned again. and Larry
simply didn't eat them. But he soon
discovered that this incident was typi-
cal of the coach's whole attitude
toward foot ball.
There was little grumbling among
the players at first, but Coach Cur
it's reputation as a player was so out
standing that they were inclined tc
obey his orders without question. And
their loyalty to the school, their de.
sire to have winning team. and their
natural respect for their coach over
came any feeling of rebellion which
they might otherwise have felt at his
harsh measures.
But Larry was less impressed than
the other boys, and his training made
him examine all the coach's orders
with a critical eye. He soon was con.
his reputation as player solely be-
cause OF his physical power and logged
courage, and not because of his brains
But he kept that opinion to himself
obeyed orders on the field, and soon
had clinched his place at quarterback,
HOWEVER on the day following
the night on which this story
opens, Larry and the coach had an
other disagreement. The team was
running plays against the scrubs in
preparation for Saturdays game
against Mount Cairn. and Coach Cur
It's was drilling them on new for

The play started as an end run,
with Larry carrying the ball, but he
quickly faded back to his right, with
the right halfback protecting him, and
shot long pass to either of the ends.

Dozen of MHkveed

Picture BACKGROUND

T ET's make one of those attractive
pictures with q milkweed down
background this week. You can find
the milkweed along the roadside now
SO collect plenty, because you'll want
to make q number of them when you
see how pretty and easy they are. The
dime store will supply the necessary
glass and frame In any size you wish.
Clean the glass and then fasten a
silhouette from your favorite maya
zine underneath with small pieces Of
gummed paper. Take . fine paint
brush and transfer the silhouette to
the glass, using black enamel. Some
times a second coat of enamel will be
necessary to get the black solid.
Always keep the glass fiat so the
enamel won't run, and lay 1t in q
safe place to dry.
Now take q piece of cardboard to
fit your glass, coat it with white shell
lac and scatter the fluffy milkweed
down" over it, thickly but unevenly.
Remove the brown seeds first.
When the enamelel design Is quite
dry place the glass. painted side down,
on the cardboard and see what a
lovely effect the white silky down gives
through the spaces in your design and
at the top and bottom Of your picture.
For q colored effect, use the trans
parent oil paints that are on the mar
ket now. for those parts where you
want the down to show through. For
solid colors, mix them with white
enamel
Transferring the design to the glass

ones, trying out their beaks or fight
ing. Since I found out about the
hole in the top Of the tree I never
have been able TO understand why the
young birds didn't get wet when il
rained. Perhaps the holes we're far
enough to one side SO the water ran
down inside the tree, which was fairy
rotten.
The mother and father had q very
busy time feeding their four children
Many times there would be grand
row over the worms which they
brought. The parents pushed the food
down into their Threats. When the
father did the feeding they were much
quieter. I guess they were afraid he
might spank them if they were too
naughty.
Finally the parents began to teach
them to fly. There were many trees
near their home, and the older birds
made them fly and jump from tree to
tree. Soon they had learned to fly
good distances, and shortly after that,
they all left their home.
"A storm during the Summer broke
the tree in the middle. and the fall
shattered their home. I don't know
what has become of them since their
home was wrecked"

is another parlor trick. I hope you
like it immensely!
Enect-The magician borrows
cigar or cigarette from one Of the
members of his audience. Borrowing
a hat from another preferably q
derby he proceeds to balance the
cigarette or cigar upon the very
crown Of the hat.
Explanation-If you know the Sc.
cret, balancing cigar upon hat
isn't at all difficult. All you need TO do
is to secure straight pin. When
you borrow the cigarette or cigar and
the hat, you have the pin concealed in
your palm. Having placed the hat
over one hand, just push the pin
through the crown from the inside.
Now set the end of the object on the
pin and. believe it or not, 1t will re-
main balanced.
In getting this effect, make 1t APP
pear as difficult as possible. just as If IL
required genuine skill. BY reaching
up inside the hat. the pin can be re-
moved, which will, Of course, release
the cigar.

Installment I.

7 AIRY NORTH'S mother opened
the door of his room. paused
on the threshold, and called,
Larry" in a sharp voice.
Larry was sitting at his study table,
but he was not studying. The green
shaded light, casting a bright circle
over his broad shoulders and brown
hair, revealed the fact that Larry was
fast asleep, with his head pillowed on
his folded arms.
Slowly he stirred, grunted and
Strengthened up. Turning. he stretched,
rubbed his eyes with his hands and
then suddenly snapped into wakeful-
ness.
Hello, Nom" he said. IT was
sleeping. What time is it?"
Just H.
An expression of chagrin crossed
Larry's lean face. DARN he ex-
claimed in evaporation. I've slept
almost two hours" He gaZed ruefully
down at the book open on the table.
And no studying done sgain!"

concern in her eyes. Il can't under
stand what's the matter with you.
Larry" she said. "You fall asleep
over your books every night. / sup
pose you're tired from foot ball prac-
tice. but you never got that tired last
year"
Larry grunted. well. we didn't
have Samson Curtis coaching us last
year" he said wryly.
Mrs. North hesitated for moment,
evidently about to make some COM
ment. But she thought better OF 1t,
said good night and closed the door
of the room behind her.

made a helpless gesture and started
to prepare for bed. He was annoyed
at himself for falling asleep again. but
he understood the reason perfectly,
and he knew the same thing was hap
pening to every man on the Hartley
High School squad. They were SIM
ply being overworked by Coach Curtis.
"CAMSON" CURTIS had made a
great record as college fullback,
and had even been mentioned for the
all-America team. Therefore every
body in Hartley High School rejoiced
when he was hired to coach the foot
ball team. Nobody doubted that he
would prove to be as capable a coach
as he had been a player.
But Larry North. for one, began to
change his opinion at the very start
of the season. On the first day of
practice, Coach Curtis made talk to
the assembled candidates which re-

vealed his ideas on the game very
| clearly.
Foot ball is work-hard work" he
said in his deep voice. And any fell
low who isn't willing to work might
as well get off this squad right now.
I'll not stand for any loafing on my
| team"
Well, there was nothing wrong with
that, Larry told himself as he listened.
But there was something about the
coach's tone that he didn't quite like.
And Mr.. Curtis was by no means
finished.
ALSO, you might as we'll get 1t
through your heads right now that
we're going to have discipline in this
outfit" he went on banging a hairy
fist into the palm OF his other hand.
When I give an order, 1 want 1t to
be obeyed, and no questions asked
That's the only way to build VIM
ming foot ball team, and I'm going to
have a winning team here at Hartley,
or know the reason why"
Larry frowned little at that. Dis
cipline was all right, and Larry knew
it was essential. But his parents had
always encouraged Larry to decide
things for himself. They had tried to
cultivate his judgment and make him
think things out. They almost never
gave a command without explaining
the reason for it, and Larry had
learned to obey, not through fear. but
! through a realization that obeying was
the logical and sensible course to
follow.
4 ND now, when the new coach an
nounced that he was going to ex-
pect blind, unreasoning obedience to
his every command, it rubbed Larry
the wrong way.
We'll" he told himself hopefully,
maybe his bark is worse than his
bite! Maybe he's just trying to i'm
press us at the beginning"
But a few days later, Coach Curtis
proved that he meant just what he
had said. He laid down q rigid set
of training rules for members Of the
team, including strict regulations as
to what they should eat, and how
much.
After the session that night. Larry
stepped up to the coach in the locker
room.
Mr.. Curtis" he said, II just wanted
to tell you that l can't eat eggs. Your
training rules specify two eggs every
day. so 1 thought I'd better tell you"
Coach Curtis stuck out belliserent
chin. What do you mean, you can't
eat eggs?" he demanded. That's
silly idea"
II Just can't eat them, that's ALL
Larry explained. 1.-THE doctor has ex-
