New regulations governing CCC
enrollmentS were announced Sat-
urday, following approval by Presi-
dent Roosevelt of continuing the
corps for three years.
Due to the fact that a small
percentage of applicants are over
81 years of age, the maximum age
limit has been reduced from "a
to % years.
The clause whereby applicants
must represent a family on public
relief has been modified While.
youths from actual relief families
will receive first preference, 1t will
now only be necessary for the
applicant to show unemployment
and need of employment. In this
latter group priority of selection
will be made on a basis of family
need.
No young men with former Geo
service totaling two years or more,
including all previous enrollments,
may be reselected.
Minimum allotments of $22 will
be required from all youths with
dependents.

A new form of bubonic plague is
prevalent among animals in the
western United States, and it may
spread to the east and become ex-
tremely dangerous to man.
So says DIR. c. r. Eskey of the
U. S. Public Health Service, in an
address before the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Science, in Denver.
Ever since 1908, it has been
known that certain ground squirrels
in California have been carrying
the bacillus pestis, which is respon-
sible for the disease that III times
past has decimated whole conti-
nents. Within the last two years.
says DR.. Eskey, it has been dis
covered that the malady is spread
ing among small animals in seven
other states. 1t has turned up in
Utah, for instance, in region
separated from California by
wide Indicating that no ma
tural barriers will check its spread.
So far, the victims have been
squirrels-for the most part. But
it would not take a very outlandish
combination of. circumstances to
promote this plague from its pres
ent status as ravisher OF ground
squirrels to advance agent for the
Angel of Death among American
human beings.
X
There is no need to worry very
much about it. 1t probably won't
happen-and, if it did, the science
and organization are available to
check it. But it is worth speculat-
ing about briefly, just the same.
Suppose bubonic plague should
suddenly begin to spread-in Am
erica, in Europe and in Asia. The
civilized nations of the world would
at once unite to stamp it out. The
best brains and the best equipment
would be marshaled for the job, and
great international campaign to
save lives would be started.
Scientists from Germany, Amer
ica, Japan and all other countries
would work side by side; there
would be the most complete CO.
operation, and 1T would last until
the last vestige of danger had dis
appeared.
For when this race of ours gets
really frightened-when it has to
stand face to face with the grim
specter of natures hostility-it can
achieve an inverted but effective
kind of brotherhood. 1t can forget
it's rivalries its jealousies and its
suspicious and concentrate magni-
ficently ON the job of making the

RUSSfA'S POWER
AND HER WEAKNESS

A study in international psychology
Is being worked out in the Far East,
where Soviet Russia and militarist Japan
face one another across an obscure river
in an armed dispute over even more OBJ
scure islands. 1t is a part of the turgid
history of the world that is being written
before our eyes-and we believe that
II is a chapter that will not be closed
for many years to come.
Russia, pressed almost to the point
of war by fiery little Japan, has backed
down. The Soviet has withdrawn its
troops from the disputed islands, and
In a face-saving diplomatic gesture has
suggested that Japan should do the
same thing in the interest of peace. Any
one the least familiar with Japan's re-
cent history knows what the actual an
swer will be, regardless of the diplo-
matte one. Japan will keep her troops
there
Russia has the largest standing army
in the world. but what we have seen in
the Far East should prove to US that
Russia is afraid of war She does not
want to test her strength just now in
armed conflict. How sharp is the con-
trast between her attitude and that of
the Nipponese island, where army lead
ers are the actual rulers! Japan seems
to be only seeking for an excuse to
send her armies into battle.
The very contrast provides an inter-
esting study in racial psychology-and
in methods of conquest. Russia, avoid
ng armed conflict if possible, depends
upon propaganda to obtain her desires.
Japan, impatient of slow progress, de-
pends upon force.
If it were not for one thing, we be-
lieve Russia would win in the long run.
That one thing is the basic unsoundness
of the Communist scheme. 1t is because
Russia is not a nation free from inter-
nal strife, we believe, that she avoids
war today The Communist leaders, driv-
en- to official assassination on a large
scale during recent weeks to maintain
a semblance of national unity, are afraid
that any war with another nation would
give her own dissatisfied people the cue
for another revolution-this time re-
volution against Stain and his aides.
Whatever else may be said of Japan,
it must be said that the japanese feel
strong nationalism In war, Japan would
be nation with its peoples united
against the enemy. Not so Russia.
If Russia can amend her scheme of
government along more democratic lines,
yet keep up her barrage of insiduous
propaganda, she may conquer Japan in
the end. Under Stain and the present
Russian dictatorship, such a course
seems next to impossible.

HOLLYWOOD, July 3. U.H -
Mayor" Edward Everett Horton
reports he's one up in his drive
to make Encino the metropolis
of the San Fernando Valley" after
demonstrating the towns need for
fire hall to Mayor Frank Shaw
and Fire Chief Ralph j. Scott OF
Los Angeles.
Encino and its film prominent
civic chieftains are irked because
the rival burg of Tarzana has
fire department complete with red
wagons, while their town has none.
Why it matters Is a bit OF
mystery, since both hamlets are
within the city limits of Los An
geles, but the Encinistas say it's
very important, and tossed off an
Indignation meeting on Horizons
ranch by way of protest.
Horton and his chamber of COM
merce, including Al Jolson, Spen-
Ger Tracy, and Warren William,
demanded a test when Scott ex-
planned that fire hall in Encino
was uIlllcCClociy OCCdhoC CdtAPfASAAS
from Tarzana could reach any place
in the town in 10 minutes or less.
Scott complied by turning in an
alarm from the Horton place. The
effect was lost, to some extent,
because somebody forgot to click
the stop watch, but Jolson says
1t took longer than 10 minutes
because II had time to sing The
Poet and the Peasant three times"
The mayor and the fire chief
promised to keep Encino in mind
next time they have a fire hail
to spare.

Asheville Boys
Vie for Center
Post at Duke i.

Durham, Sept. 1.-Two boys who
have been close friends since child
hood days are staging the greatest
battle in the Duke university grid
camp for a position on the No. Blue
Devil eleven.
They are Dan Hill, Jr., the flaming
haired fighter whose nickname is
Tiger" and who made. the All-South-
ern as a sophomore last season and
Gordon Burns, a hefty package of dy-
Mantle from the 1896 freshman team,
both from Asheville where they grew
up together-and the position these
boys are putting it on" for is center.
Tiger Dan held the job during the
first two weeks of fall training but
Fire" Burns waged such relentless
battle against his lifelong friend that
he replaced him on the No. 1 team
and has continued the style of play
that won him the berth.
Regardless of which of the two boys
wins the starting berth, Duke follow
ers can well be sure of the fact that
the Blue Devils will be well-fortified
at that position. Coach Wallace Wade
only wishes that he had boys at every
position that were putting on the bat
tie that Hill and Burns are.
81 Burns IS one of two sophomores
who have been looking. good in prac
tfces this fall The other is Willard
s(BulD Perduey a barrel-chested guard
who used to be quite a noise as full
back for Thomasville high school. His
showing from the first day of prac-
Itice indicated that he might soon get
into the No. I lineup as he did imme-
diately after the first skirmish.
Work is still being done overtime on
the ends, Herb Hudgins, converted
from halfback, has been driving hard
and his play has been pleasing to the
coaches. However, the question of an
other good end and of reserves at that
post and every other position except
the guard and center jobs is still a
great. worry.

ric Are Fixtures; Battle
RACES Over Ends

Chapel Hill, Sept. 1.-The Univer-
sity of North Carolina line, unques-
tionably the big question mark in
Coach Ray VOLTS plans this season,
is rapidly taking shape as the Tar
Heels go about their daily chores in
preparations for the South Carolina
game here September 25.
Three of the seven positions in the
forward wall seem virtually assured.
Co-captain Andy Bershak will be at
right end; Henry Bartos at right tack
lie and Steve Maronic at left tackle.
But there's considerable ado. about the
four other posts.
The most sought after position in
the line is left end. There's a merry
battle being waged at that point. Gene
Bricklemyer, converted end, has shown
considerable promise. Horace Palmer
junior reserve from Clinton, and Jack
Kraynick, recent conversion from full
back, are in the thick of the running.
There's little choice between the three.
Bricklemyer is faster and better pass
receiver. Size, however, favors Kray-
nick at six feet two and 100 pounds
and Palmer, six feet and 1873 pounds.
Inc DeSL Sudiu prospects are jim
Woodson, 180-pounder, Elmer Wrenn,
1876; Ed Palmer only guard returning,
and Charles Slagle and Ed Megson,
sophomores. Woodson and Wrenn are
favored on the basis of ruggedness
and aggressiveness. To Palmer's cred
it is his participation in contests for
two seasons. Megson is the fastest of
the quintet but along with Slagle lacks
experience.
