Touching off the fall bowling sea-
son. two Commercial League alley
squads let fly apace last evening at
the Brunswick Recreation alleys,
and when turmoil of battle had
subsidized, the Pay'n Takit five-man
cquad was found TO be out in front
at the gun, having nicely hurdled
another squad of newcomers, rep
resenlng the American Meat Com
pany, by a matter of slightly more
than one hundred pins.
Leonard Holmquist led the vic
torious charge, topping by about
three points Shavey Koski, leader
of the losers, and the only other
roller to smash the five century
mark. Holmquist headed the lists
with a 513 total Lloyd Hildinger
abetted the winning cause with the
only single game score above two
hundred.
This evening brings the United
Food and Brunswick five-man pin
teams together for the second con-
test of the new Commercial League
slate. The ten rollers will tangle

Pointing out that he once thought
live and let live" was sound phil
osophy, the speaker stressed that
in later years he has come to the
conclusion that the motto should
be live and help live" Man cannot
live unto himself, he stated, and it
is the duty of the business man to
live and help the other live by
keeping up the morale of the COM
munity.
In bringing out his three points,
Mr.. Croson declared that by taking
an active interest in fraternal af-
fairs the business men would be aid
ing these organizations and conse-
quently the entire community from
which they are made up. He urged
strong support of the schools, not to
tell the educators how to teach, but,
rather, to be sure what they teach.
1t is only through taking an ac-
tive interest in local government
that business men can help in as

notes that improved business has
sent a record number of wives in
pursuit of husbands for nonsupport.
When a broadened business pic

funds into the pockets of errant
husbands, forgotten wives who had

Alabama Man Is Friend Of
Roosevelt-Also of
New Deal Acts
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON Sept. Nobody
could accuse President Roosevelt Of
buying a pig-in-a-poke when he
named Hugo L. Black to the SUI
preme Court
Blacks opinions as Senator
have been recorded on miles of
white paper. And they've all been
on the Roosevelt side.
His maiden speech in the Senate
was battle for Muscle Shoals. He
wanted cheaper nitrate rates for
farmers. That was in the Repub-
lican era when young Democrat
from Alabama was nothing but a
voice crying in the wilderness. But
Black stayed to see IVA become
a fact in 1888.
His last battle in the Senate was
his own bill which he says would
put a bottom in American living

WHAT TO EXPECT

So what can be expected of him
in the oak-lined room where the
nine Justices finally sit down to
iron out a decision?
First it's expected that Black
will go right to work. He'll face
that little court nicely that says a
polite Justice should eliminate him
self when a controversy comes up in
which he is personally interested.
But Blacks been a Senator ter
years. He's had his finger in hun
dreds of laws. If he were to be-
come dainty about the laws ht
should or should not pass upon hi
would truly become the phantom
Justice, appearing on the bench only
now and then.
Besides, he's roasted lip-servict
artists dozens of times. Half hi

SENSE OF HUMOR

CEsANt5kS OE hOhOh
Through dozens of Senate SEES
sions Black has beat the drum
for the rights of people as against
the rights of property He's bristled
with figures of people working long
hours while others were out of work.
He's inveighed against fortunes built
from shoe-strings When he was in
vestigating the ocean and air-mail
contracts. He has insisted that big
business has jumped state lines,
and must be controlled by national
laws.
He'll probably he sitting on the
bench when the Securities and Ex-
change Commission comes up for
review. He'll be there when the
right of PWA to lend money to
cities for power plants comes up.
He'll be there when his old pet
iva arrives in the court again.
He's lent such measures a help
ing hand fer ten years in the SEN
ate, and it's an extremely safe bet
he'll go lending the same helping
hand.
And fortunately for a generation
of student lawyers still in their era
dies, who will grow up to study Su-
preme Court decisions, the new AS
sociate Justice Black has a delicate
ly cut sense of humor.

NEILLSEiILE, Wis, Sept. 2. =
Firing a shot that struck near the
head, two bandits lined
up eight persons in a saloon near

overlooking a roll of $500 thrown

tered, and pet bulldog picked up
the money and carried it away.

That same day the New York Dali

the celebrations:
''The morning was ushered in by
the ringing of bells and a discharge
of cannon. At IL o'clock a grand

men and closed by citizens) Z. . to

behalf of the citizens of New York.

such deathless expression as was
voiced in that Declaration of indie

Liberty bell in the cupola overhead
on that memorable Fourth of July

L the Constitution trainers pro-

time between election of a con-

chief reason was that the franz

legislators take office soon after

hasty action. 1t was felt that
time should be allowed for the
heat of the contest to cool. The
secondary reason was that con-
siderable time was required for
members to travel from distant

of the United States, he has turned
to a new approach in dealing with
the legislative situation. He has
suddenly loaded congress down with
work. This is to be distinguished
from the course he has followed in
his earlier years of his tenure when
he submitted only one legislative
suggestion at time.
Now, in addition to the court re-
organization proposal, there is be-
fore congress the far-reaching gov
ernmental reorganization plan, the
billion dollar slum clearance and
house building, farm tenancy bill
and highly controversial piece of
legislation proposing to establish
minimum wages and maximum
hours for labor. These are, in addi-
ton, of course, to the tax revision
proposition I have discussed above
and the annual appropriation bills
with the billion and a half relief

Judicial 300 Hitter.

Judicial 300 Hitter.
NEW YORK.-Some may choose
~ the role of a Judicial Coriola-
nus. Their retreat farmward after
stout labors is honorable, too, for
all that it is made under the shadow
of presidential frown. White
bearded George Sutherland, how
ever, will not bulge.
He likes his work, and, reading
between the lines, you gather that
he has yet to know a president
fitted to say whether he does it
well or ill. For fifty-odd years he
has watched presidents come and
60, often into oblivion, but his long
ish, resolute countenance, year in
and out, has been picked up by
every spotlight reaching after the
300 hitters in his profession.
Nor does he scare easily. AS a
teen-age agent for Wells Fargo in
the Blackfoot country, he learned
early that the biggest warwhoop Of
ten comes from the littlest Indian.
Nor is he awed by prodigies, polit-
ical or otherwise. He was a sort
of prodigy himself, graduate OF
the University of Michigan and
lawyer by every legal measuring
rod before he was twenty-one-and
a married man to boot.
President Harding sent him into
the Supreme court. According to
some of Harding's crOnies, he could
have been Secretary of State if he
had not been born in England.
That means he missed the cabinet
by fifteen months. He was no older
when his parents brought him over
here.
Now he is seventy-fve, and when
the court is sitting he gets to work
at half-past nine and eats his noon
day snack in his office in order to
keep up with those Anti-New Deal
decisions which have prompted a
rolled administration to offer him
a paid-up life membership in a
ree-hours-for-lunch club and then
some.

KING GEORGE vi

Last week the British crowned a new
king, the titular ruler of 100000 peo-
pie and the sovereign of about one-fourth
of the land surface of the globe.
Americans find it hard to understand
the trappings of royalty that bedeck a
democratic country, which leads the United
States in application of social security laws
and even now prepares TO take over the
coal mines of the nation as a governmental
enterprise
While His Majesty, George VI, rules
the British Empire in theory he does so, in
fact, according to the advice rendered him
by countless representatives of the people.
Thus the King speaks the popular mind as
Interpreted by the elected spokesman of his
people in many parts of his realm and, in
other areas, acts through administrators
trying to introduce representative institu-
tions.
What happens when the King does
not follow the advice of elected officials
explains why it is now King George and
not King Edward!
