united Press Stam COrreSp0ndent)
 New York, Feb. 6.--(UP) --The Brooklyn Dodgers made another g. for-1 trade with the Boston Bees today, exchanging Pitcher Johnny Babich and Outfielder Gene Moore for Pitcher Fred Farmhouse. It was a straight player deal, no cash involved, Business Manager John German announced.
 You won't know the old dafiiness boys of Ebbets field next summer if Brooklyn continues active in the baseball marts. Only 13 members of last years cast now remain. The squad of 35 has 22 new faces. Other deals are on the fire and the Dod- gers expect to complete at least one of them before tho season opens April l4.
 Second Deal
 Today's deal between Brooklyn and Boston is the second 2-for-1 trade made between the clubs this winter. Tn December the Dodgers sent Catcher Al Lopez, Tnhelder Tony Cuccinello, and Pitchers Ray Benge and Bobby Refs to the club then called the Braves for Pitcher Ed Brandt and Outfielder-I -Infielder Randy Moore. As in the first deal, both clubs are likely to profit from their latest transaction.
 Brooklyn now has It's best pitch- ing staff in years, assuming that Brandt and Farmhouse pitch any, where near their 1884 form. In 1884 Brandt won l6 games and lost l4 and Frank House won 17 and lost Q. Last season Brandt won s and lost 10 and Farmhouse won Il and lost 16. They went sour with the rest of the Boston club last season, including Babe Ruth and Judge Fuchs. The fact that the Cubs, Cards and Giants nibbled at both Brandt and Frankhouse in- dicates that they have plenty of useful service left in them.
 To go with Brandt and Frank house, the Dodgers have Van Mungo, one of the leagues classiest 'hurlers, Btll Clark, Tom Zachary, and George Earnshaw. The left handed lineup of Brandt, Clark and Zachary gives Brooklyn perhaps the leagues best southpaw brigade. The Dodgers also have Q pair of likely looking rockies in Wayne Osborne, who won 17 and lost II with the Missions in the Coast league, and Al Butcher, who won 24 and lost Il for the Galveston Texas league club. Bad Bargain
 'Babich, who cost the Dodgers 9i0,000 and three players, proved Q disappointment, winning only and losing "A last season. Sao came up highly touted from the Missions Tn 1884 but showed only flashes of form. He may find himself with the reorganized Bees. The Dodgers hated to part with Gene Moore, purchased from Rochester Interna- tional league club, but they had surplus of outfielders and sacrificed him to swing the deal for Frank house. He hit .3l8 in the Interna- tional league and is considered q brilliant all-round performer, Nine outflelders remain on the Dodgers roster.
 As for the Dodgers future deals, they are seeking Johnny Mize, rookie first baseman from the Car dinals, and Catcher Harry Danning, from the Giants. Both deals are cold now, but Brooklyn expects to reopen negotiations during the training season.

 Miami, Fla, February 6 - The third at Hialeah had just been run and Leon 0oSlin, the oldgray goose, was Q very sad man.
 Draped over the track fence, he tore up a fistfull of tickets with all the sorrow of Q disappointed lover destroying old letters from O sweetheart, gone away.
 He was far cry from the or goose of that chill day last October when, honking bravely, he cracked that single over second to give tho Detroit Tigers the baseball cham ptonship of the world. You would have bet then, as he loped through the thousands whe were calling hiH name, that he would never be sad again. New Fields
 But the business of improving the breed of the thoroughbred horse is Q very melancholy business, and Goose had forgotten al labout that moment of triumph as his animal in the third developed housemaids 6 knee on the home turn and fins ished 6 sad-eyed seventh.
 "rt's getting tougher to hit these beetles on the nose," Goose said aa his tickets fluttered to the ground, Than 1t Is to hit that Warneke. And heaven knows, Lonnie's tough enough"
 "Is Warneke as good Q pitcher as you ever batted against??" we asked by way of getting 0oose's mind off racing and on the baseball.
 "Well, he's 50 good that if those Cubs had happened to have another one like him l wouldn't have hit that single in the sixth game. Be- cause there wouldn't have been any sixth game. They'd have won be- fore that many. Yeah, WarnekeS as good as ever looked Gt. He didn't give me e decent ball to hit during the whole series. That one ] got hold of to end the series wasn't any good. But it wasn't Q fluke hit, aB lots of people think, was trying to knock 1t in that big gap between second and short, but I pulled it litNe too much. Even if 1t had been Q flukc, I would rather had it than all the home runs and triples I ever slapped"
 We took time out to play tho fourth race and Goose completely lost his miseries as the thorough bred he had chosen to improve, one Cerinto, came bounding home the winner. Happy again, Goose came right out and picked tho Tigers to repeat in the American. And like his boss, Mickey Cochrane, Goose

MANAGER PROUD
 |OF "LIFE LINE" OWNED BY BEES
Lopez, CuCinellO and Ber- ger Will Win Plenty of
 Games Says Manager
BY FRANKsMURPHY

Limited Press Stan Correspondent
 Boston, Feb. 6-(UP)--Keeper Bill McKechnie believes that his Boston Bees are the most improved ball club in the National league.
 Look down that middle line from home plate to the center field fence" McKechnie remarked dur- ing Q hot-stove session yesterday, land you'll have to agree that there isn't another team that's gained the strength that we have"
 Bill himself followed that life from the batter's box straight out over second base, and here's the way he summed up the Bees itl- provement during the offseason: Good Business
 Behind the plate---and we lost plenty of games there last season we've acquired one of the best catchers in the business in Al Lo- peg. Several managers, Pie Tray nor of Pittsburgh in particular, didn't like 1t Q bit when we ma neuvered Lopez from the Dodgers. Traynor got Al Todd from the Phil- lies but he's not the catcher Lopez is. Our pitchers are going to find 1t much easier to hurl winning ball with Q receiver like Lopez out there, and besides Al will drive in Q lot more runs than any catcher we've had iIl yearg."
 "Second base was our weakest spot oil last season." said McKech- nic. "Now we have c good hust- Ter there in Tony Cuccinello. Tony isn't Q Willie Herman but he'll play second as well as most infielders and his hitting has broken up plen- ty of games at our ballpark. I'll wager that we lost 26 games at second base alone 0 year ago, cx- perimenting with Mallon. CoScarart, Whitney, Young Eddie Moriarty and even old Rabbit Maranvillc."
 McKechnie didn't think 1t neces- sary to dwell on the centerfield ex- tremity of his middle-line defense, held down by reliable Wally Ber- ger.
 High Hopes
 The Bees manager expects Short- stop Bill Urbanski to have 0 good year both ct bat and afield Says Urbanski's .200 batting average last season was due largely to worry {. Regards Whitney as 0 better ball player than he's yet showed in Bos- ton and hopes this is rinky's year Plans to give Eddie Moriarty, the Holy CrosS graduate and but. ting stylist. every chance to make good Doesn't think second base Eddie's spot 50 will experiment with him ct first base and in the out- field.
 McSechnie tells you without cracking c smile that If the Braves had Willie Hermatl on second base Q year ago they'd have finished in the first division.

 Fritz Dulskis aided and abetted by Dr. Coloney, Frankie Zukauskas, Mikc Hop" Sheran and John Mikit took Danisavage easier than Grant took Richmond the first two games, but When Dan Stokes rolled ll5 the last game while Al Kasidas followed with mere ?7? 128. then Chap Lasky with l08 and Captain Dani- savages l27 gave the team q total of 64i which beat the Dukes by 04 pins.

Contradiction.

The whole Nation applauded the other
day when rescue workers saved two men
trapped in mine at Moberly, Mo. They
had been imprisoned for three days, two
Of their companions had died and scores
Of friends and strangers had put them
selves in peril in their behalf. Ger
tainly the heroism Of the human spirit
was demonstrated by the story.
And yet there is q contradiction be-
tween the attitude which the public as
sumes in such q case and the fatalistic
tolerance which it manifests toward the
wholesale slaughter of the highways
The number Of casualties in mine acci-
dents never has exceeded twenty -five
hundred in single year. while motor
mishaps in 1884 alone cost approxi-
mately thirty-six thousand lives. In the
light afforded by these comparisons, 1t
Is incomprehensible that the excess Of
excitement in the former instance can
be explained except by citation Of tn
defensible carelessness in the latter. The

activity that has taken firm hold dur
ing the depression.
Thus: Corporation stockholders, ara
taxed to provide money to pay subsidies
to farmers.
People with sizable incomes are taxed
to provide money for those who lack
incomes.
Corporations and individuals In the
more highly developed sections OF the
country are taxed to provide funds to
finance public works and other subsidies
for sections less prosperous.
Higher paid workers, under the social
security act, will taxed in a way that
will return to them proportionately less
than will 60 to the lower paid workmen.
The big Federal budget Of the future
on the basis Of the present outlook-may
be half devoted to the operating side
Of government itself and half to the re-
distribution Of the country's income in
an endeavor to effect better balance.
But the day Of the pre-depression
budget, concerned almost entirely with
normal operating expenses of govern
ment, is gone, regardless Of the election
outcome.

STANDARDS OF JUDGMENT
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN D, IL d. D. c. L.
BISHOP WASHINGTON.

In one OF the most striking passages
in the Gospel narrative, namely the
twenty-fifth chapter Of st. Matthew.
the Master sets forth a standard OF
divine Judgment that is related to the
deepest concerns Of our social relation
ships. Possibly in no place does He
speak more directly concerning social
responsibility than in the memorable
chapter that contains the following:
Then shall the King say unto them
on his right hand, Come, ye blessed OF
INV father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for YOU from the foundation Of the
world:
For 7 was an hungred, and ye gave
me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave
me drink: I was q stranger, ana ye
took me in:
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was
sick, and ye visited me: was in prison,
and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him,
saying, Lord, when saw we thee an
hungred. and fed thee? Or thirsty, and
gave thee drink?
when saw we thee q stranger, and
took thee in? Or naked, and clothed
thee?
"Or when saw we thee sick, or IN
prison. and came unto thee?
And the King shall answer and say
unto them, Verify say unto you, Inas-
much as We have done 1t unto one OF
the least Of these my brethren, ye have
done it unto me-"
In this passage Jesus afiirms that the
ultimate judgment Of human life is
determined largely by the extent to
which men assume right relations with
their fellows. The service rendered may
have been inconspicuous and humble, 1t
may have been so modest and obscure
as to gain little of recognition and
nothing of acclaim, but, inasmuch as
Evening star., 1936-08-23

becomes agitated about four persons
caught in q pit and serenely declines to
be interested in forty persons smashed
to pieces in automobile crashes.
The difference, Of course. is superficial.
Actually, the same values are involved.
But larger comprehension Of the prob
lem is wanted There never will be any
correction Of Deaths rule Of the streets
and roads Of the United States until the
people are aroused to its meaning in
terms Of sorrow. If the Nation could
be educated to as passionate concern for
traffic victims as it periodically is about
the relatively few martyrs Of the mining
industry, something drastic would be
done to cut the highway mortality list.
