Our Hearts Go Out
There was more than the usual
quota of well dressed, pretty young
ladies' at the Barbara Worth hotel
wednesday night. Madame Rumor
had been busy, spreading the pur-
ported news that Clark Gable. ac-
companied by Jack Benny, was 10

published the report, only it could
MT be authenticated. Virtue is its
Own reward; RR wasn't scooped.
The Gable-Benny combine didn't
win, place or show They weren't
there. RR was indicated, but it
was a great disappointment to the
girls.
Business Comes First
Someone was wrong, either the
city council Or the Elks, and it
must have been the city council
1t was impolite, to say the least,
for the rest of the councilmen to
drag Herb Faxcett away from the
Elks' celebration of the first 20
years, just to attend a council
meeting. Many of the Elks, by the
way, have agreed that the first 20
years are the hardest, when they're
Jumped into one night.
Pay With Produce
Jim Murphy, who guides the deS-
TIMES of hamburgerS at local
root beer stand, believes the Town-
send old age pension plan will
work out at the original 5000 a
month figure because wealth is
measured by commodities and not
in terms of dollars and cents. Next
time RR partakes of hamburger,
Jim will be offered few type
writer keys in payment.
Dust of the Ages
The present is made more pleas
ant because of men like Tom Wor-
Ellington, whose hobby it is TO
delve into the past. Some of Toms
discoveries about the history of
Imperial county are like the shocks
that come to staid families when
a hoTse-thief ancestor turns up Oh

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congress
meets with its Democratic member
ship in frame of mind 20 adj
journ as soon as possible, which
is just what President Roosevelt
wishes.
Republicans want to prolCng the
session all they can, lambasting
the New Deal from the vantage
point of Capitol Hill.
Being in so large a majority,
the Democrats can have their way
if they can avoid falling out
among themselves. However, they
are pretty badly split The Repub-
licans en- tn opposite hand, are
tolerably solid. They have their
progressive dissenters, but the
group is smallish.

MAJORITY A LIABILITY
The administration doubtless will
be able to control the senate. 1t
may have trouble in the house of
representatives.
1t will find its difficulty with
lawmakers who were elected in
1884 as Democrats in normally
Republican territory. There. are
senators who were elected thus,
but their seats will not be at
stake in 1886. The representatives
so elected, will be candidates next
November. They desire above all
things, to win tn administration
or otherwise. If they considered
the administration as tremendous
ly popular today as when they
won, they still would be its loyal
supporters. But they recognize that
the New Deal has slipped; con-
sequently no longer are as depend
able as they were.
The Democratic majority, in
short, is too large to- be manage
able. In the present situation it
almost is a liability rather than
an asset.
> BJECTS FOR ACTION
There will be bitter disagree
ments over neutrality.
Social security legislation will
have to be practically made over.
The utility act must be amend
ed.
The Frazier-Lemke bill threatens
to raise an issue between congress
and the White House.
New labor laws and the AAA are
in danger.
It's not too safe to forecast a
short session with So many highly
controversial questions pending.
The fact is that the New Dealers
have worked too fast hitherto.
Even such of their enactments as
are not disputed on constitutional
grounds are found to have defects
in them, which they themselves
admit must be remedied. This job
will take time and involve friction.

WESTERN NINE SET TO "BATTLE'' FOR INTER
Eastern Foe in
. Tilt Today
] In Series
By GARRETT WATERS


Circumstances, many will say,
have helped the Western High
School nine to it's lofty position as
leader of the interhigh school
baseball race.
This is true in a sense when one
remembers how the Georgetown
ers' opponents have beat each
other in crucial games. But you've
got to give Coach Cliff Moore's
team a little credit.
The most important reason Is
that the boys went out and won
their two games in the series with
plenty of vim, vigor and vitality.
Besides this, they exhibited a little
class with it. Western meets East
ern today at the Eastern Stadium
at $3.50 D. ma game that prom
ises to test the Georgetowners to
the limit.
It's a young and terribly mex
perienced team Coach Moore has
under his wing. The lineup pos
sesses only one real experienced
man. He is Bill EdmonSton, who
is one of the best ball players IN
scholastic ranks, regardless OF
opinion to the contrary.
SteadieS Team
Edmonston is the steadying in
fluence to the GeorgetownerS. He
knows the game-Which is a Splen-
did help-he keeps the boys on
their toes and holds 'em down
when their play happens to be-
come "high school," BY the latter
we mean wild and wolly, slipshod
and all else that points to bad
throws, messed up grounders, lack
of thinking and just plain dumb
baseball"
The rest of the lineup is promls-
ing no end. Coach Moore must be
credited with this. For he had TO
have some foresight in order to
select the men for the positions
they now hold. Otherwise incom-
petent youngsters might be repre-
Senting the team.
Larry Doyle is at first base.
Alden Lawyer is at short, Bill Lyn-
ham at third and the above men
toned Edmonston at second.
Jimmy Middleton t.-ld Paul Bor-
den comprise two-thirdS of the
outfield, while the other post is
filled by George Ortell. young:
ster who has developed rapidly
since the opening of the campaign.
Completing the regular lineup
is Johnny Alafoginis, stocky back
stop. Johnny had a task on his
hands when the campaign opened,
for he had to make supporters for
get Huck Wynne and Bill Summer
bell, both of whom handled the job
last year. Thus far he's done a
nice job Of it.
KuShman HurlS
Lee Kushman, lefthander, has
, pitched the GeorgetoWnerS to their
present place in the interhigh sun.
He beat Central in his initial start,
and followed by trouncing Roose-
welt. In both contests he was
forced to show his mettle as his op-
ponents gave him battle until the
last out In the ninth.
Naturally Coach Moore and his
crowd are hopeful of winning the
championship this year. If they
do it will be a great thing for
both Western and the series. The
school has accomplished little in
a championship way in recent
years while the series has found

VALUE RISES

A recovery in stock prices dur
ing the month of May prompted
a gain of 81 in the purchasing
power of the common-stock dollar.
The index of the purchasing
power of the common-stock dollar
at the end of last month stood
at 1898, compared with 1899 at
the end of April, according to the
monthly index of Administrative
and Research Corporation.
The bond dollars buying power
also advanced markedly from the
April figure of 1888 to 1861 at
the end of May.
The purchasing power of the
dollar held in cash showed fur
ther increase for the month Of
May, due to another decline in
the commodity price index On
June the cash dollar was 1882,
or g better than at the end Of
April.
The levels Of common stocks as
measured by the DoW-Jones in
dustrial average, the levels Of

this is senSed by majority of the people, They may excuse
it arising of emergency They may condone it
experiment But they mrust and at heart dislike it.
After ALL honesty is frequently thought of in
ton with business The old saying Honesty the best policy
uttered with regard to business.
Contracts promises Credit large part of business
credit always involves promises pay Business based
largely upon confidence and confidence rests largely i'll
tegrity.
But business and all our economic life with
aid of money. We buy sell of the things
with Even the churches and concerts supported
through money.
Most of us save Many of us make investments All of us
need goods which produced only with the aid of the
capital that saving and investment makes possible But what
and invest is money
Thus it that sound money intimately connected with
common honesty.
Sound money money which represents standard This
just is that sound engineering sound morals
represent standards.
When for his children old he deposits
invests But unless the money is something definite so
that he count upon its value being free from arbitrary
manipulation there is standard
promises meaningless the money uncertain and
Indefinite There is standard of performance
It this uncertainty this lack of Standards which re-
tards saving and investment and thus restricts industry and
employment
There deep down profound feeling of lack of simple
integrity at Washington.
The Roosevelt administration has stood for giving "some
thing for nothing eve may take it, but don't like it,
It has stood for creating purchasing (Agam we take
it. but don't understand the thing and dsrus it, has
the lack of principles and standards fills with uncertainty
All this ypfed by the Administrations debasemen de-
valuation and manipulation of our money We may not under
stand the theory of money but feel that must be
definite standard for economic vauesthat it must not be
subject to manipulation by politicians.
We cannot have honesty economic life without standards
We cannot have standards without definite dollar We
not have definite dollar without sound public finance
which balanced budget We cannot have balanced
budget while the Administration power is wasting
money.
The Roosevelt policies have meant continued huge deficits
deficit financing This forced loans Forced loans
in turn threat of reputation of debt.
In my opinion government which peace times issues
billions of and bonds without adequate provision for
dempon which it knows it may not be able to redeem
is a dishonest government.

CARS
UP TONIGHT

Expansion Of the one-man street
car system by the Capital Transit
Company was condemned in a
resolution adopted by the District
department of the American Le-
gion yesterday on the grounds that
this type of car is slower, more
dangerous and diminishes oppor-
tunities for employment.
Meanwhile, Peoples Counsel
William A. Roberts perfected his
plans for a mass meeting to be
held tonight in the District Build
ing board room, at which repre-
sentatiVes of civic organizations
will record themselves on the one
man street car and other trans
portation problems.
Principal topic for discussion at
the mass meeting is the transit
company's petition for an increase
in street car and bus fares. The
company has filed its petition with
the Public Utilities Commission
and a public hearing will be held
in mid-AuguSt.
The commission also will con-
duct a hearing on the company's
request to add 40 one-man cars,
half of them new and half second
hand, to its transportation system.

international news
The State Department views
with concern the situation which
has developed in Peiping as the
result of virtual japanese military
occupation of that one-tjme capt.
tai of the Manchu emperors.
This was learned today as this
Government awaited an apology
from the Japanese embassy at
Peiping for the miStreatment of
Americans nationals and Ameri-
can embassy property by Japanese
soldiers.
If such miStreatment and dis
courtesy continues, formal dlplo-
matte representations are likely to
be made direct to Tokyo by this
Government.
The incidents involving Ameri-
can nationals occurred during the
japanese military exercises in
Peiping few days ago. Capt. H.
S. Jernigan, a member of the
United States embassy staff, was
pushed in the stomach with a
bayonet by japanese soldier. The
captain escaped injury by Selling
the bayonet and showing it aside.
An American woman, whose
name was withheld by the en-
bassy, was threatened with saber
by a Japanese officer who sought
to force her off the sidewalk. A
group of about 20 japanese soldiers
also entered the grounds of the
American embassy.
