BY FRANK BUCK" oNEILL

BY FRANK BUCK" ONEILL
The success of the Pirro brothers,
fullback and tackle at Catholic
University, the prominence that
the youths are winning among foot
ball lovers of this city, and among
their friends at school is all a
dream to their parents in Solvey,
N. Y. 1t is a dream come true; a
hope that has come to full frui-
ton.
Rocco Pirro, ST., sat in his pleas
ant cottage and took stock of the
years he had spent in America
from the day the steamer bearing
him from his native Italy stood
past the Statue of Liberty in New
York harbor. He had worked hard
in America. Worked hard and
proSpered.
DAIRY BUSINESS
He was well thought of in Solvey,
N. Y, where his quest for work
and the gold that flowed freely in
America had brought him. The
gold, he discovered, was hard to
find. But Signor Pirro was con-
tent with his dairy business. his
home and his children.
The children, he decided must
not work as hard as he had
worked with his hands. He read
Scripture and knew that bread
must be earned by the sweat of
the brow, but there were other
ways of making progress.
knowledge is power" he read
in the Syracuse street car one
day. Well. his boys would have
knowledge that circumstance de-
MED him. Beyond high school
there was college, and few dol
lars put away would launch Ca
reer for the boys.
It wasn't long before the lads,
Carmen and Rocco reached high
school age and went to Solvey
High School. There they mas
tered math and chemistry and
the rest, and they also mastered
football. They played tackle on
Solvey High Schools football
eleven and won honors in Gen.
trail New York. No halfback ever
got outside Of them.
They were leaders in play, and
in 1884 Rocco captained the Sol.
vey team, and the following year
Carmen was chosen leader.
When it came to choosing a |
college, fate interviewed. An alum
nus of Catholic University knew
the boys and told them about
Washington; told them of Dutch
Bergman of Notre Dame, Of Fod !
Cotton and all the rest. So down
to Washington they came and
made the freshman team.
BIT OF MISFORTUNE
They were tackles, but this fall
Dutch Bergman looked at the T
broad shoulders Of Rocco, looked
at his bullying legs and decided
that the boy would be a fullback.
Cannon was needed at tackle, and
there he is. A bit of misfortune
has handicapped Cannon. He
fractured a bone in his foot play
ing basketball, and he had to stop
practice.
Now he is out, and when you
ask the ball carriers, Irish Car
roll and the rest about how he
tackles, they just grin and say:
Hard; awful hard"
Carmen played in the game
with Canisus on last Sunday. He
will face Loyola on Saturday.

TOBACCO OUTLOOK
IS NOT 50 GLOOMY
State Agriculture Depart
ment Experts Looking
For 22-Cent Average

Raleigh, April 2 (AP)-The division
of markets of the state department of
agriculture examined the 1887 tobac-
co crop prospects today and found the
outlook mot so gloomy as has been
painted"
If yields are approximately aver
age and if a predicted moderate in
crease" in demand materializes, farm
ers should receive approximately "
cents a pound for tobacco-the aver
age price which prevailed last year
experts said.
Tobacco annually is worth approx
mately $1O0,O00,0O0 to North Carolina
farmers.
Randall B. Etheridge, head of the
markets division, said the Intentions
to plant report revealed that flue-
cured tobacco acreage this year would
be approximately 968,000 acres, which
represents a 10 percent increase over
last years harvested acreage, but 1t
slightly lower than the 1928-32 aver
age.
Naturally, the yield this year will
affect the price," Etheridge added.
'But farmers should be hopeful in
view of the fact that the bureau of ag-
ricultural economics has predicted
that domestic consumption is expect
ed to continue its upward trend and
some increase in European demand
is believed likely.

approval of the state authority before
forwarding it's loan application to
Washington. Because the State REA
is much more familiar with conditions
in the various counties than the Fede-
raj REA and because it is in better
position to make a more careful check
this provision gives the Federal REA
a double check on all projects and in
sures them of being worth while and
as represented. For the NCREA will
not approve any project not regarded
as feasible.
If the Federal REA had followed
this procedure all along, 1t would
never have gotten into the mix-up it
got into in Johnston county and in
other counties, it is maintained. But
the Federal REA insisted on going
ahead with its projects without any
regard for state laws and regulations
and got into hot water as a result. 1t
now seems, however, that Administra-
tor Carmody has decided upon a diff
ferent policy and that the relations
between the NCREA and the Fede-
raj REA are going to be most har-
monious.

"That is a charitable way of
looking at it, Miss Jacqueline. But
other people might use harder
words. They might call it fraud"
The girl flushed angrily. .
ut wouldn't make the slightest
difference what they said :" she
began, but Lutman Cut her short.
"Your mother may have done a
foolish thing" he said, "but there
is no avoiding the fact that she
has done a very serious thing-a
criminal thing-which might easily
lead to the most unpleasant conse-
quences. If this matter were re-
ported to the police :"
Colonel Lutman, you wouldn't
you're not suggesting -
THAT I should report it? I
should be very unhappy to bring
any disagreeable consequences on
your mother, Miss Jacqueline. I
am merely pointing out to you
what her foolish action might
easily lead to. And want you to
realize just how hard pressed she
must have been to do a criminally
foolish thing like that. And it
rests with you to see that she is
never in such a position again.
You have the chance to marry Jim
Asson, and I think you should con-
slider very seriously, for your
mothers sake, whether you can
afford to turn it down."
Jacqueline made no answer, and
Colonel Lutman rose.
''The sooner you tell Jim you'll
marry him, the better, Miss Jac-
queline. It'll save a whole lot of
trouble" he said, and strobe away
along the terrace.
For some moments Jacoueline
did not move. She sat, with flushed
cheeks and angry eyes, staring
straight in front of her. It'll save
a whole lot of trouble" Colonel
Lutman had said. Had that been
warning threat? The thought
flashed into her mind that Colonel
Lutman was desperately anxious
that she should marry Jim Asson,
and was using that check as a
means Of forcing her to do it. IF
she did not promise to marry Jim.
Colonel Lutman would go to the
police-she dismissed the thought
as absurd. Colonel Lutman was a
gentleman, and had only men,
toned the check because he wanted
her to realize how hard up against
it her mother was. It was very
decent of him, really. How on
earth could her mother have done
such crazy thing as to cash a
dud check with chance acquaint-
ance!

Jacqueline forced a smile.

several days at a hotel in Vienna

of you to come to her rescue"
