On Relief

Pointing out that % States will
be paying unemployment insur-
ance after January /, Stanley B.
MatheWson, in reporting conclu-
sions of round table discussions of
the American Public Welfare AS
sociation here yesterday, asked the
400 social welfare workers mot
to be critical if there is confusion"
in execution Of the program.
There is a vast need, he said,
for refitting the unemployed for
new employment and welfare Of
ficials are attempting to work out
a program for employment rehabi-
litation. The speaker declared
there would be tremendous pres
sure" exerted for payment of the
insurance to meet relief needs,
but warned that such a course
would be "unwiSe."
Frank Kelly, chairman of the
group studying public medical
care, reported that the rate Of
disabling illness among those on
relief is SO per cent higher than
among those earning $4,000 an
nually.
A sweeping program for effici-
ency of welfare administration in
the future was contained in a re-
port submitted by former Senator
F. C. Walcott. Other speakers re-
ported on various phases of the
problems dealing with relief and
public welfare. The conference
was held in the Wardman Park
Hotel.

THE napkins and mats are
L fringed and then whipped to
keep them from travelling and to
strengthen the edge. This is a
very quick and easy finish to use
for linens of the coarser weaves
and is in harmony with peasant
dishes and provincial furniture.
In cutting the material for the
mats and napkins it is best to pull
a thread to guide you so that the
edges will be perfectly straight
and fringe easily. Cut right along
the little opening made in the ma
terial by drawing the thread as
shown at A. Plan the size of the
mats and napkins so that the ma
terial will cut to good advantage
and the stripes will arrange them
selves in a pleasing way through
the center of each piece. Napkins
for this purpose may be as small
as nine inches square though
many people like them a little
larger than this. The mats are
usually about eleven by eighteen
inches.
Pull out the threads to make the
fringe at the edge as have shown
here at B. From a half to three
quarters of an inch is good depth
for the fringe. Save the threads
you pull out and use them for
whipping the edge as have shown
here at G.

Knows How to Take 1t

But Bill has demonstrated that he
knows how to take it, and so his
spot may not be so tough after all.
Every time he played last fall, they
expected more of him than the time
before. And on every occasion he
came through.
The biggest test was the game
that decided the championship of
Chicago. 1t was played in Soldier
Field between Austin, representing
the public high schools, and st. Leo,
representing the parochial schools.
Bill had 10000 pair of eyes on
him that day, quite few of which
were severely critical. Most of the
fans had read the papers, but they
wanted to be shown in action how
good Bill really was.
Well, Austin won, rs to o. Bill
was the hero. He made three touch
downs, playing throughout with
painfully bruised knee. He got
loose for long runs, threw passes,
received them, backed up plays,
tackled and blocked.
He was happy after that game,
all right. Only one thing bothered
him. His mother had to watch the
game from behind pillar high in
the stands. She had been invited
to sit in box as the guest of Mayor
Kelly. When she got to the stadium,
she approached the reserved gate.
'T'm Bill De Correvont's mother"
she announced diffidently, "and Pm
to sit in the mayors box" An
usher looked at her and was unim-
pressed. 81 don't care If you're
Shirley Temple or Queen Eliz-
abeth," he said. "Seats are all
gone"
Somehow she managed to get in
another gate and was swirled by the
crowd high up into the stands. Even
tually she was pushed behind a pill
lar. Only by craning her neck
could she see her son occasionally
as he galloped off to a long run.
The next test came with Jackson,
Tenn, played at Memphis, which
the coaches said, settled the nation
al championship. Against a strong
and rugged team he scored the win
ming touchdown. Then half the
Jackson team tackled him and he
was out with broken collar bone.
Now Bill is receiving feelers from
scores of colleges, chances to talk
on the radio, go to Hollywood and
what not. You can envy Bill De
Correvont or not as you please.
Remember he's on the spot but re-
member, also, that he knows how to
take it when the going is tough.

A mn HUDSON hadn't recovered
II from the shock of the first
L \ Christmas present her hus-
band, Phil, had given her, their
first holiday together. Hadn't she
always dreamed of receiving a nice
car or a fur coat, or something
equally as nice? But he had laid
just a fifty-cent piece at her plate
Christmas morning. All he could
afford just now. he said.
"Ann, dear, get on your wraps,
dig out the fifty-cent piece and let's
spend New Years day by attend
ing Hartman's farm sale just north
of Morton City, today" he urged.
"You know Frank Hartman had
some grand antiques and maybe
you can make that fifty cents pay
interest by investing it." He loved
to tease her.
Everyone in Fletcher and Putnam
counties had had the same idea
and by the time the Hudsons
reached the Hartman farm Ann
had quit being heartbroken and
disappointed over her insignificant
gift.

Drew Crowd of 10000

He drew more than lilo, 900 people
into Soldier Field, Chicago, to sim
gle game. This was the largest
crowd that ever saw football
game anywhere in this country. 1t
was bigger than the one that
watched the Dempsey-Tunney fight
in 1927. 1t exceeded by wide mar
gin the crowds at the Army and
Navy game or the alI-star games
in Soldier Field.
He is a phantom-like runner, a
rifle passer, a star kicker, a re-
sourceful tackler and a sure-fire
pass receiver.
He is a star student. When he
graduates in February, at the age
of nineteen, he will have a four
year average of 88 in all his studies.
In addition to his football prowess,
Bill is quite baseball player. He
can round the bases in 1876 seconds
and has had a batting average for
the past four years of 400. Several
big league clubs have tried to sign
him.
Thousands of high school athletes
throughout the country would prob
ably like to change places with Bill.
But if they knew what he's going
to be up against, maybe they'd
change their minds. Bill has a tough
assignment. He will be marked
man. Like Jim Thorpe, Walter Eek
ersall and Red Grange, he will
have to be a whirlwind to make
good, because every opposing team
will be laying for him especially.
Opposing coaches will build a de-
Tense for him. Tacklers will go aft

teammate, was the only other 20
game winner. Monty Stratton of the
White Sox was second in point of
effectiveness, with 2.40 runs per
game.
One of the high spots of the sea-
son was White Sox pitcher Bill
Dietrich's no-hit game. The cast
off Highlander whom Manager
Jimmy Dykes had faith in, reached
the pinnacle of fame on June l last
season when he set the Browns
down with nary a hit or run. Next
best showing from local fans point
of view was Johnny Allen of Cleve-
land. Johnny, a "Temperamental
Tillie" when on the pitching mound,
turned in Is wins in a row and was
in the shadow of the hall of fame
when SOuthpaw Jake Wade opposed
him the last day of the season and
beat him, 10.
However, Aliens won and lost
percentage set new record in that
respect, the final average being 1888,
besting Bob Groves record of 1886
made while with the AS in 1880.
Bob Teller, the Cleveland hurler
who two years ago came out of
Van Meter, Iowa, to make good in
a big league in a big way, con-
tinued his reputation as a strikeout
king, piling up $50 whiffs in 149 in
nings. Gomez strikeout record was
ACCOMPLISHED in 278 innings of toll
Teller famed 16 Boston batters on
August Is last year. His feat of II
strikeouts against the AS in 1886
still stands as the league record.

Golf Dream Comes True

When Johnny Revolta won the
Miami Open golf championship re-
Gently, and incidentally drew down
a check for $4,000, he satisfied a
six-year ambition. Back in 1882, Re-
volta, unheralded in a field of the
nations best money players, fin
ished second in the big 10000 tour
nament.
He has won many a tournament
since, including the 1885 P. G. A.
championship, but none gave him
greater satisfaction than the 20-foot
putt he made on the seventy-second
green to give him first place and a
total score of 282.
incidentally, Ralph Guldahl, who
won the Biltmore Open last year
and went on to become National
Open champion, finished far down
the list at 292 and collected only
SIS. And Denny Shute, p. G. A.
champion, collected just SIS with a
296.
