 GAME TONIGHT
Angoon Five to Meet Con creters in H. 5. Gym
 at 8 O'Clock

Angoon's roaming basketeerS will run up against the biggest wall of human flesh on their tour when they meet Krause's Concreters at the high school gym tonight. While one of the strongest teams in the local city league, the Concreters will look more impressive than ever to the visiting native team, because of their height.
 However, the Angooners are ex- pected to give a better account of themselves against their tall op ponents, than against the DeMolay five Wednesday night. After Sev- eral practice sessions on the local court, Manager Peter Dick reports that the boys have really found the hoop" and that "the bigger they come the harder they fall"
 The game will start promptly at eight o'clock, Leonard Holmquist, city league president, said. There will be no preliminaries.

ESTONIA

EStonia is one of the countries
that was benefited by the World
War, for it took advantage of the
downfall Of the Russian monarchy
to regain its independence. A diet
met at Tallinn and despite coun-
ter pressure, established an indie
pendent democratic republic.
A peace treaty with Soviet Rus
STA was signed a few years later,
on which the larger nations agreed
to forego all claims. Thus little
EStonia regained her freedom
after a foreign domination that
had lasted seven centuries. Rigid
economy was the watchword and
many sacrifices were made by the
Estonians during the task Of re-
building.
A visit to the little republic Is
worthwhile. 1t is located on the
east coast of the Baltic Sea,
bounded by the Gulf of Finland on
the north, the Soviet Union and
Lake Pepsi on the east. the Lat
Wan republic to the south and the
Baltic and Gulf of Riga on the
west. So much for the position
of EStonia, a land that includes
1912 lakes and 818 islands. Rus
slams, Germans and Swedes make
up it's population.
Estonia, although it seems so
far away, can be reached easily.
There is a fortnightly service be-
tween London and Tallinn. the
capital, and the steamers are very
comfortable. There also is weekly
steamer service between Hull in
Yorkshire and Tallinn, with a stop
at Helsingfors, Finland. Now it
is linked by air with the main
capitals Of Europe on a daily
schedule.

He will never move. He will never

Hour after hour, day after day,
year after year, he sits huddled in

The Washington times., 1936-08-22

Yet the doctors say he is happy.
He is happy to stay there like
that, huddled in the darkness. He
is happy-because he is safe.
He sits that way because 1t
makes him feel safe. Long ago
fifty-five years ago-he sat hud-
died in just that same way. 1t
was the safest. the happiest time
of his life. He had no decisions
to make no criticism nor COM
petition to face. He did not have
to work, or play, or even think
for he had not as yet been born.
He was still within his mothers
body; still sharing her life. He
was completely safe and happy.
He has never felt completely
safe or happy since. His tiny
hands were doubled, as all babies
are, when he entered life. They
were doubled in protest and terror.
When he slept, his knees crept up
to his chin his little body
folded itself again into the COM
pact safety of those prenatal days.
Once again, he was unborn-and
at peace.
But h was never at peace when
he was awake, for he was afraid
of life. He was always trying to
get away from life-to shut out
life-to fold himself into safety.
And, instead of helping him to
face life, his parents helped him
to escape. They coddled and pro-
tected him. They excused him
walled him away from ridicule
and punishment. They helped
him live in dream world of his
own. a world without Competi-
ton or criticism or conflict.

boy-presently that of a man. But

Senator William H. King CD
of Utah, has a group picture OF
his family on the mantlepiece in
his office. Around the reception
room are placed pictures Of some
of the natural wonders Of his
State and here and there are orig
inals of cartoons that have ap-
peared in newspapers.
Senator Thomas, of Oklahoma,
also has several cartoons in his
office.
Frequently on both sides of the
Capitol members will make an ef'
fort to get the originals of these
drawings, whether complimentary
or not, and hang them as office
decorations.
Over in the House Office Build
ing the decorations are more d.
versified.
When an official painting or
bust is desired by the House of
Representatives, the artists who
vie for the honor and the money
frequently send their work to the
House Library Committee and
they are all put in the commit
tee room.
Here the members gather and
decide which one to choose. A
recent example was the selection
of a painting Of Speaker Rainey.
For weeks during the last session,
the four walls Of the committee
room were covered with likeness
after likeness of the legislator.
WATER COLORS
In the office of Representative
Caroline O'Day of New York are
to be found water colorS done
by children. Mrs. O'Day is a
champion of the children and a
bitter enemy of child labor.
Representative Jennings Ran

the walls Of his office covered
with autographed photographs of
his friends. He also has a picture
of his father and mother. His
priced curio is a gavel fashioned
from wood taken from a bridge
over which one of the great
battles in the Revolutionary War
was fought.
Several of the members use pic
lures or models Of ships for deco
ration.
In the Senate Commerce Com
mittee room Senator Royal S.
Copeland, New York, has exact
replicas of boats used by our Mer-
chant Marine and, of course, the
models in the Presidents execu-

are famous.

Ewes on Texas

Poweress to vote themselves the people of the Dis
trict can watch attentively the baoting in today's
primary in Texas with the knowledge that the results
will have far reaching effect on their community.
It may seem strange that the welfare of city of half
million people should be largely controlled by vot-
ing citizens in section thousands of miles away yet
is fact
Representative Thomas L. Blanton, whose attitude
toward our city and whose record in connection with it
are well known is engaged in off primary which
will decide whether he will return to Congress or whether
he will retire from the political scene.
According to reports reaching this city of the man
ner in which Mr. Blanton and his opponent conducted
their primary campaign the issue Is not whether Rep
resentative Blanton will be good representative
of the people of his district but whether unwse and silly
economies imposed upon voteless and poweress COM
munity constitute why his constituents should
send him back to Congress-
THE ARBITRARY RUTHLESS AND ARROGANT
ATTITUDE WHICH MR.. BLANToN HAS ASSUMED
TOWARD THE HELPLESS RESIDENTS OF WASH
NGToN WOULD NOT, WE SHOULD THINK, BE A
RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITIZENS OF HIS
HOME TOWN TO GIVE HIM ANOTHER LEASE ON
"A CONGRESSIONAL SEAT
But we aren't Texans and wouldn't attempt to tell
the men and of that State who they should send
to Congress.
Presumably they will be able to Judge the record Of
Mr. Banton and compare with what could be expected
of his opponent Mr.. Clyde L. Garrett, who ran about
four thousand votes ahead of him in the original
primary
We can hope that the Texans of the Seventeenth Con-
gressional District in casting their ballots today won't
think that by voting for Takative Tom" they are vot-
ing for an intelligent and productive economy program
Anybody can refuse to spend money but that re-
fusal doesn't GluUays mean economy.
Sensible spending is often far better economy.
MR. BLANTON NEVER SEEMS TO SEE THAT
WHERE THE DISTRICT AND IT'S OWN FUNDS ARE
CONCERNED AND NEITHER DOES HE SEE 1T IN
CONNECTION WITH THE PITTANCE WHICH THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SPENDS TO ASSIST IN
THE UPBUILDING OF ITS NATIONAL CAPITAL.
We will know tomorrow whether Mr.. Blanton will be
back with us for two more years.

The big mother in this picture is Chin

the London Geological Gardens.
The little thing, reaching for the stocking
filled with candies and oranges is Jubilee, child
of the big ape.
Somebody gave Jubilee a stocking full of
good things to eat. The mother Immediately
took it away, perhaps because she thought it
wouldn't be good for the baby, or more prob
ably because she wanted to eat the sweets
herself.
This picture interests u.s. quite apart from
the fact that the evolutionists insist that we are
related to this ape mother and child. Most in

baby and the mother chmpanzee The baby has
a far more human expression than the mother.
Chimpanzees like some human beings, do not
improve as they grow old.

Almost every human baby, with its high fore
head and small face, looks like a genius. The
same baby later will show no signs of genius
the forehead has remained about the same, or it
seems to have grown smaller and the face has
grown much bigger
What spoils the looks of the mother chin
panzee, especially, is the tremendous development
of the lower jaw which comes with all of the
higher apes, gorillas, chimpanzees and orang
outangs as age creeps on.
Occasionally, among human beings, you see
some truly GREAT man, whose face improves
in dignity and beauty through life. That IS rare
with humans it NEVER happens with the apes.
Assuming the theory of evolution to have
truth behind it, you see how hard it would
have been for this lady chimpanzee to become a
real lady, unless she could control that face.
