LINERS CREW
Found Competent and Move
To Bar Sailing Fails

New York City (ILNS)-Seamei
conducting an unauthorized strike
failed in their efforts to prevent de-
parture of the United States liner,
President Roosevelt, when federal IN
spectors certified that men compos-
ing the crew of the liner were COM
petent in every respect.
The striking seamen, whose activ-
tiles are opposed by the international
Seamen's Union of America, protest
ed that men unqualified to go to sea
had been hired to man the President
Roosevelt. United States Shipping
Commissioner John J. DAILY directed
that an investigation be made. The
check-up disclosed that the liners
crew was sufficient in number and
that it was qualified far beyond the
federal requirements. The inquiry,
held on the liner, delayed the vessel
an hour and a half.
The protest against the President
Roosevelt's crew was the latest move
in the warfare Of the striking seamen
against the international union, which
| is supplying men to take the place
of strikers, leading to misleading re-
ports that these men are strike
breakers" The strikers are fighting
an agreement recently made between
| the international union and shipping
companies in New York They are
demanding the Pacific coast wage
scale, which in some respects is higher
than the Atlantic coast scale
Union officials have sued for a
permanent injunction to prevent the
strike committee from using the un-
ions name in the strike. Decision on
the application has not been given.
During the hearings Supreme Court
Justice Black agreed to serve as me-
diator, and proposed referendum of
union members whether they favored
or opposed the new agreement. The
strike committee agreed, but the In
ternational Seamen's Union executive
committee rejected the plan

charges, or the Wall street game in
its many phases.
A lawyer said not long ago to this
writer: In spite of the SEC, there
are thousand ways in Wall street for
taking away your money and they are
all working full time ;"
As long as YOU have a job the
fellow who collects interest on your
debts will have job, too.
That's an interesting thing to pin
in your handbook.
Our domestic debt (what we owe
each other) is bigger than our whole
war debt.
If somebody could debunk the
sacredness of that pile of debt ii
would be very interesting reading.
Probably nobody will do it for a
while.
Debunking little, friendless fakes
lis easy Not much work; not much
danger
Debunking the big ones; that's
something else.
Well, let's forget it and go look
at the fireworks, or go to see a good
burlesque show. It's 50 much easier

TEETH AND WAGES

Speaking to the Dental Society Of
the State Of New York, DR.. H. "A. Hor-
ner said that not more than Is per
cent Of the people Of the United States
get regular dental care. The great
est problem before the dental profes-
sion" he said, is to find way to
make its knowledge ard skill avail
able. Society, too, must share in the
responsibility"
Social workers have known for a
long time that the first thing neglect
ed in hard times is care of the teeth.
But here Is a statement from an au-
thority that rs per cent Of the people
fail to get proper dental care in ordi-
nary times. Part of this failure il
due to ignorance, no doubt; but a
larger part is due to inability to meet
the expense. Three quarters of our
people get wages too low to pay den
tai bills.
Z DR.. Horner made a convincing ar
gument for steady employment and
higher wages without knowing it.

Few do.
1t is interesting.
Three men determine what bills are
to emerge for a chance to pass.
These three are the speaker, the
chairman of the rules committee and
the party leader in the house.
Among these three there's one man
at bottle neck. That's the chairman
of the rules committee.
If your bill doesn't get rule it
doesn't get out for a vote.
There you are.
And back of all this is the fact
that, IN this session, if the White
House doesn't pass the word along,
NO bill gets out.
This is discipline. This is what pre-
vents a jam of legislation just now.
This is what has been holding atten-
tion on two measures, as congress
tries to wind up in time to get to the

BrookIand Association for
Immediate Erection, Ruh-
lands Plan.

The Brookland Citizens Association
last night approved plan conceived
by Health Officer H. c. Rutland for
the immediate erection of diagnostic
centers for treatment Of the more
prevalent diseases after DR.. George
K. Ellis had informed the group that
such institutions would prove invalu-
able in reducing tuberculosis and So
cial diseases in the District.
DR.. Ellis stated that while the Com
missioners had approved the construc-
ton Of at least one health center,
several were needed in the city If a
successful fight against disease were
to be waged.
Motions condemning the proposed
operation OF an abattoir in Benning
and recommending that the office of
peoples counsel be retained and filled
as soon as possible were adopted.
New members received into the as
sociation were Roscoe F. Woolard and
Grace Bush. administrative princi-
pal Of the Brookland, Crosby Noyes
and Bunker Hill Schools. Miss Bush
in a short talk, in which she advo-
Gated greater Capitalization of schools,
answered several questions concern
ing educational problems in Brook
land.
In answer to request that some
thing be done about the smoke prob
lem in that vicinity, H. K. Kugel,
smoke regulation engineer, told the
body most of the smoke in Washing
ton resulted from antiquated heating
equipment, originally manufactured
for consumption of anthracite coal
but at present used to burn soft coal,
and that the only real remedy for
the nuisance was to replace all such
equipment with modern, automatic
heating plants.

It is highly probable that the af- fairs of State will cut sharply into the leisure time of Edward VIII, of Great Britain, with the inevitable result that his game of golf will suffer The new monarch had de- veloped his game to a mighty high degree. He was touring the English courses regularly in 30 and at times a stroke or two better Now that's mighty fair golf for any man who plays the game just for fun and exercise.
 The demands on his time are likely, too, to cut in on the pleas ant hours spent enjoying the races, boxing matches, tennis and other sports, In his role of Prince, he was just about the staunchest support CT of sports the British athletes have had The pressure of official duties may curtail his active sup port but it is not very likely that the popular monarch will divorce himself of all interests in sports.

 Causes Fou's and Injury
 In the current issue of the Na- tional Association of B Basket b l l Coaches publication, have out lined 10 major objections to the center jump. I will only observe here that from the players stand point it's elimination means elim- ination of many fouls and injuries, while from the spectators view point it speeds up the tempo of the game and makes it more in- teresting in various other ways.
 Stanford had a good example of one of those points recently in Seattle when we played the center jump for the first time in two years. Our Captain "Dinty" Moore had his lip split wide open when the men on the sidelines charged the centers. That 12-foot circle, in my opinion, doesn't help a bit.
 As for the spectators reaction, you simply cannot play the center jump here in California where the fans have gotten used to the new style game. The teams would be hooted off the floor As for how the East would like it, I quote from 8 Philadelphia papers Public Led ger) account of the California; Tenn pie game, in which by agreement there was a tapless first half. The sports writer Cleo RiordanD says:
 The first half was a nadhouse. Action was virtually as continuous as in the old cage game The play CTS ran, ran and kept on running. The crowd was dizzy but delight ed"
 East Is Scientific
 As for the general basketball pie ture, it is my impression that the coast plays a faster game than the East or Midwest, but not so fast as the Rocky Mountain region. However, the mountain boys are very weak on defense-in fact, they have no defense at all. The East ern play is scientific, and while no doubt it is intensely interesting to close students of the game believe it makes less of hit with the spectators than our fast game out here.
 At Stanford, we prefer to use a

 Hir0hito Hunts
 His Imperial Majesty Hirohito of Japan maintains extensive hunting preserves and one of his favorite means of entertaining the diplo- matic dignitaries is a weekend duck hunting party.
 Members of the diplomatic corps take their places, according to rank, along the edge of the canal where the game awaits them. Each diplomat is equipped with net attached to long pole. When the ducks are stirred into flight they are fair game to be captured with the nets. Each guest is allowed to catch a limited number, the quota being set again according to rank. As the guests depart for home each receives a neat package containing the ducks he has bagged.
