Navy stepped into the national
football picture on Saturday by
scoring smashing and con-
Ivincing victory over William and
Mary at Annapolis. Pitt, perennial
contender for eastern honors
served notice on the land that the
Panther is on the proWl again
when it Smothered Ohio wesleyan
under SO to o score. Navy piled
Iup As points on William and
Mary.
Minnesota slaughtered North
Dakota State SO to 7 and once

TERPs PLEASE
Pleasing in many Of its aspects
was the victory Of University Of
MARYLAND over the st. Johns
College boys, but the Johnnies
played some pretty nice football
themselves.
Navy's power against William
and Mary was little short of devas-
tating. Scoring As points, gaining
more than $50 yards by rushing
and an additional 1876 or there
abouts, is a good day against the
blocking bags and charging ma
chimes. The figures attest the
power of Nays forward charge
and the running ability OF the
backs.
Mcfarland, who is slated to do
Nays punting this year, per-
formed nicely against William and
Mary, cutting the side lines and
preventing possible returns. Bob
Antrim caught passes, blocked ana
tackled, and the Scampering In
gram darted here and there like
a dragon fly. Antrim, the charts
show, hit the line effectively.
DEACONS BETTER
Although University Of Tennes-
see defeated Wake Forest by a
score of 80 to 0, Botchey Koch, line
coach of the ColonialS, secuted
Wake Forest and reports that the
DeaconS were far better than the
score would indicate. Koch points
out that Wake Forest made eight
first downs, the same number as
Tennessee. Wake Forest was
pushed back in one sustained
march. The other touchdownS
came from passes and bad breaks.
With the end situation still I'M
settled, and the pivot post open for
the ultimate winner in the battle
for place, Jim Pixlee is not letting
over confidence destroy the fight
ing spirit Of the Colonial squad.
There is a lot of work to be done,
and it must be done this week.

Waste Products of
Farm Used to Make
Better Roads

Columbia, Mo.-A new meth
cd with which durable roads
can be built by simply adding
to the soil a cheap chemical
mixture of resinifying mate
rials such as furfural and its
derivatives, has been developed
by DR.. Hans Winterkorn of the
Missouri College of Agricul-
ture. The chemicals are OBJ
tanned primarily from waste
agricultural products-products
grown in the average cropping
system of a midwestern farmer.
The process will make It pos
sible to build satisfactory surfaces
in many places where gravel
crushed rock, and other aggregates
are not readily available. The meth
cd also is expected to be used ex-
tensively in establishing the base
for concrete and other types of high
way surfaclng.
The surface created by the meth
cd has remarkable tensile strength
and water resistance. Its tensile
strength has been tested and in dry
condition amounts to some 200
pounds per square inch. The ma
terial has been left in water 36
days without noticeable disintegra-
ton.

Geniuses Not Born
Eccentric, Declares
New York Scientist
Gifted Children Are
Studied in Clinic

Langhorne, Pa.-If men of
genius are eccentric or insane,
it is not because all geniuses
are born queer, but possibly be-
cause of lack of understanding
in their education and family
life, DR.. Harvey Zorbaugh, di-
rector of the Clinic for the So
cial Adjustment of the Gifted,
New York university, told an
audience at Woods schools
here.
Among hundred gifted children
whose development is being watched
at the clinic, five are so extremely
gifted as to be clearly in the class
OF potential genius. In terms of 10,
these children all score at or above
100; normal score is 100. One
child registered 204 on this mental
scale; the others were respectively
$50, 100, 1876, and 200. Such genius
is rare, DR.. Zorbaugh said. Prob
ably not more than "a would be
found in all New York's 1896, 416
public school children.
All Well Adjusted.
All are well adjusted, socially
competent young persons, DR.. Tor
baugh told the Conference on Edu-
cation and the Exceptional Child.
I'm three generations of the five
families of these children there is
but one relative who may be sus-
pected of psychotic episode" he
said. The mother of one child is &C.
centric although it has never been
necessary to put her in hospital.
All the other relatives seem to be,
or to have been, normally adjusted
and stable personalities. All the fam
lilies are long lived and have good
health histories.
At present these young prodigies
are tall, healthy children ranging
in age from five to ffteen-al of
them normal mentally, physically
and emotionally.
Their Futures Uncertain.
eve cannot predict the futures
of these children" DR.. Zorbaugh
said. $50 far, they and their fam
lilies have had careful guidance.
The children have all had unusually
fortunate educational experiences.
If, as they grow older they become
unstable, we believe it will be due
to the clinics inability to control
the hazards of development to which
such children are exposed.
eff society showed the interest in
its children of genius that it shows in
its idiots, we might speak more con-
fidently. We spend millions of dol
lars yearly, for research and educa-
ton, on our feebleminded.
can equal amount invested in our
gifted and talented children would
yield an UNNECESSARILY rich return
in a deeper understanding of the
nature of giftedness and talent, in
the increased social productivity of
the gifted elements of our human
population.

Steel Wants It's Mail

THE Republic Steel corporation
l. filed in the federal district court
in Washington a petition for writ
of mandamus compelling Postmas-
ter General Farley to deliver parcel
post packages to steel plants in Ohio
which local postmasters have re-
fused to deliver.
The petition charged that the local
postmaster at Niles, Ohio, was re-
fusing to deliver packages contain
ing food and clothing and addressed
to the loyal workers who were be-
ing housed inside the Republic plant.
1t charged that this refusal was
made after the postmaster had
reached an understanding" with
two members of the union.
Having waited week for a re-
ply to our letter to Mr.. Farley
and having received none, we have
no recourse but to such legal action
as is available to us under the cir
cumstances involved" said John S.
Brooks, Jr., counsel for the corpora
ton. He said separate suits will be
instituted in Ohio against the local
postmasterS involved.
Harry j. Dixon, local postmaster
of Warren, at a hearing by the SEN
ate post office committee, testified
that because of a ruling by w. w.
Howes, first assistant postmaster
general, he had refused to accept
for delivery to the plants thousands
of packages containing food, soap,
clothing or other articles considered
abnormal"

Salmon's Homing Instinct
Subject of Dispute

Stanford University, Calf
Salmons' alleged homing in
stinct, or tendency to return at
maturity to spawn in the wa
tiers where they were Matched,
has become a point of debate
among marine biologists.
In Science, DR.. Willis H. Rich of
Stanford university takes issue on
the subject with DR.. A. G. Hunts
man of the University of Toronto.
DR.. Huntsman has declared that
salmon do not Ego home," but DR..
Rich points to the existence of many
distinct strains of Pacific coast sal
mon as evidence that they do. If
salmon went up "just any old riv-
err" the distinctions between vari-
cites would disappear through n.y.
bridization, he believes.

To Sion or Not

~ VI
II HERE is no issue of wages,
L hours or other material de-
mands in the strife between the
independent steel corporations and
John L. Lewis Committee for In
dustrial Organization. The corpora
tons have agreed to all of the
demands of the unions-verbally.
"Verbally"-that is the word which
has for weeks kept thousands OF
workers in eight or ten states from
returning to their jobs.
The c. I. o. demands that the
corporations put their agreement in
the form of a written contract. The
corporations refuse. And the unions
have refused to call off the strikes
until they get the signatures on the
line.
Union officials have taken the po-
sition that if the company officials
are willing to agree orally to union
demands they ought to be willing to
confirm the agreement in writing.
Lewis has demanded that President
Roosevelt intervene to force t h e
companies to sign. At press con-
ference the President refused to
say officially what was his reaction
to the demand. He did say-and
emphasized that he was not speak
ing "officially"-that he could not
see why the companies would not
make written agreements.
Tom Girdler, chairman of the
board of the Republic Steel corpora
ton, explained the companies
stand:
1.-THE reason the c. I. o. wants
a signed contract is because such
a contract would be the first step
toward the closed shop and the
check-off.
Under the closed shop every
worker has to belong to a union,
whether he wants to or not. The
closed shop is actually deaf be-
tween the employer and the union
whereby the employer helps to force
every employee into the union.
Under the checkoff the company
takes unions dues out of the pay
envelopes of all its employees and
hands them over to the union.
docs the c. I. o. contract pre-
serve industrial peace? 1t does not.
They have broken numerous con-
tracts"

several states, threatened new out
breaks of violence which might be
beyond the powers of local or even
state governments to control.
AS the mediators began their task
of effecting a compromise, a dozen
persons had been killed in strike
riots and scores more injured since
the strike against Republic, Bethle-
hem, Youngstown Sheet & Tube,
and Inland started May 26. Eighty
five thousand workers already had
lost approximately $l0,OOO,0OO in
wages.
The climactic incident which
finally goaded the government into
some action other than occasional
"off-the-record" statements was a
widely-publicized telegram to Presi-
dent Roosevelt from Gov. Martin l..
Davey of Ohio, fearful lest the
bloodshed already occurring in
Youngstown and other cities breed
into little civil war.
apparently every avenue of ap-
proach available to the state of Ohio
has been exhausted for the time be-
ing" Governor Davey wired. st
appears that the matter has gone
way beyond the powers and oppor-
tunities of one state to deal with it. !"
Charles P. Taft II, Cincinnati
lawyer, son of the former Presi-
dent and chief justice, and mem
Der of the ''brain trust" of Cover
nor Landon's presidential cam
paign, was named chairman of the
mediation board. Appointed to sit
with him were Lloyd K. Garrison,
former president of the national la
Dor relations board, and Edward F.
McGrady, assistant secretary of la
Dor and a former A. F. of L. or
ganizer under Samuel Gompers.
The mediation board had a job
cut out for it. 1t was to conduct an
investigation of the strikes and the
grievances of both sides, then make
recommendations for a settlement.
1t has power to act as arbitrator
only if both sides request it to do
so. The first stumbling block it en-
countered was the refusal of Tom
Girdler, chairman of Republic, to
sit in the same room with G. I. O.
representatives. Girdler, leader of
the companies fight to keep the
plants open despite the unions,
agreed to help in the supplying of
facts and information, but would not
consider appearance at a concilia-
ton conference.

Use of COBRA

The word "copra" comes from
the Malayan "kopperah," or Co
conut, and is now used to denote
the dried meat of the nut. The
oil extracted from copra is used
for making soaps, candles n d
butter substitutes; the residue or
pulp, is used for feeding cattle.
Much of the product gathered on
the South Sea islands goes to Sgd
ney, Australia, for this purpose.
Coconuts are the wealth of the
islanders. They supply food and
drink to the natives, and the milk
of the growing nut is changed by
fermentation into a toddy.

Short Cut from Soviet

HREE Russian airmen success
L fully completed the first nonstop
airplane flight from the Soviet I'm
ion to the United States. Taking
the short, but hazardous, route over
the North pole, they hoped off from
Moscow to arrive in Vancouver,
Wash, 63 hours and II minutes lat
er, after travelling nearly 5000
miles. They had planned to alight
at Oakland, Calf, but poor visi-
bility drove them down $50 miles
from their goal.
The three were Pilot Valeri Chek-
aloff, Co-Pilot George Phillipovitch
Baibukoff and Navigator Alexander
Vassilievitch Beliakoff. Their fight,
in single-motored monoplane,
took place only few days after the
opening of the Soviet floating wealth
er station at the pole, to make scien-
tific observations preparatory to es-
tablishing trans-polar air routes.

The Tax Parade

AS A congressional committee
\ opened hearings on tax evasion
and avoidance by wealthy citizens,
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
than was among the first to testify.
He said the nation was losing hun
dreds of millions of dollars in annual
revenue through such tactics. Then
his under-secretary, Roswell Magill,
suggested three changes in the pres
ent tax laws: That depletion reduc-
tons be eliminated, that community
property provisions now in effect in
some states be circumvented, and
that higher levies be put upon the
Anerican-earned incomes of nom
resident aliens.
The first names mentioned in the
hearings were connected with the
practice of forming foreign corpora
tons to which Individual incomes are
transferred, a scheme which treas
ury officials said was usually within
"the letter of the law" Among the
first names were: Philip De Ronde,
former president of the Hibernia
Trust company of New York, now
Paraguayan consul in New York;
Jules S. Bache, New York banker;
Jacob Schick, ex-army officer and
electric-razor inventor, and Charles
Laughton, motion-picture actor.

Johnstown's Martial Law

M AYOR DANIEL j. SHIELDS,
1S1 of Johnstown, Pa, where $4,000
were out of work because of the
forced shut : down of Bethlehem
SteePs Cambria plant, was not so
successful in his appeal to the Pres
ident. Federal action to prevent
recurring riots with attendant in
juries was refused him. But Gov.
George H. Earle declared martial
law there and forced Bethlehem to
close the plant, despite vigorous
protests. Forty thousand coal min
ers had announced they would hold
a mass meeting to decide upon ac-
ton in aiding the steel strikers;
rioting between strikers, non-strik-
ers and police seemed imminent,
but in the face of the Pennsylvania
police they did not come off.

After the Red PURGE

TOR the first time since the World
war the chief of staff of the Ger
man army, Gen. Ludwig Beck, went
to Paris to visit the French chief Of
staff. And just about the same time
Baron Constantin Won Neurath, Ger
man foreign minister who recently
completed tour of central Europe,
announced that he would visit Lon
don as guest of the British govern
ment.
1t was believed that the purpose of
the two visits was to reach an under
standing between the four great
powers of western Europe, to the
exclusion of Soviet Russian I'M
Outstanding such as Germany and
Italy have long dreamed about.
With eight important Russian gen.
erals having been recently executed
for treason, with virtually the entire
Red military staff under suspicion,
it was apparent that Russia's impor-
lance as military power had taken
sudden drop, for the immediate
future at least. And with the resig-
nation of the Popular Front govern
ment in France, which had been IA
vorable to the communists, it looked
like the golden opportunity to con-
vince France that an alliance with
Soviet Russia was an unreliable one.

To the angler fish with it's rod

feel that he did not care very much
about her anyhow, and continued
to perform wonderfully well every
night with the white-furred artists.
