inasmuch as the head of all the
priests in the diocese of Detroit
therefore the superior of Father
Coughlin-is myself. 1t must be,
therefore, for me, not the Vatican,
to make observations about Father
Coughlin."
While Bishop Gallagher was near
ing New York on his homeWard
voyage, Osservatore Romano, the
Vatican newspaper, published an
editorial which. in effect, echoed
the rebuke that Bishop Gallagher
had voiced because of Father Cou-
ghlin's application of the epithet
liar" to the President The next
day, September 3, Father Coughlin
met the Bishop in New York and
in the ensuing press conference the
Bishop backed the priests activi-
ties in strong terms.
1T is the voice of God speaking
through the Holy Father and reach
ing you through the orator of Royal
Oak" he said, adding that the priest
was courageous leader opposing
the forces which threaten to engulf
this nation in communism"
Father Coughlin, standing beside
the Bishops chair, denied ne was
anti-Semetic or Fascist, or that he
regarded Jewish international ban

Mental Health
Is Important

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 21.-Men-
tai health, says Dr. S. S. Ackerly OF
the University OF Louisville, is just
as important as any other kind OF
health.
Ackerly, director of psychiatric
service in the Louisville city hospi-
tai, says:
Those disposed to pass lightly
over the importance of this branch
of medicine" declares DR.. Acker-
ly, should be reminded that over
So per cent of all hospital beds in
this country are occupied by men

who is actually insane, there are

airy nervousness in one form or

team, a squad numbering many OF
the athletes developed by Hjert-
berg in the United States. He was
called back to Sweden for the 1920
games, when his team took third
place in the point score with 80
places in 81 events.
In 1928 he was called to Holland
to introduce track and field sports.
The country did not have single
cinder track when he took charge,
vet. in the short space of a couple
of years, he sent team to the 1924
Olympic Games and made a cred
liable showing and beat several
countries Boosting far greater ex-
perience.
Calls Plan Simple
Ever since 1924 Hjertberg has
been preaching the gospel OF neigh
borhood athletic clubs. He tried the
scheme in Texas with amazing sue
cess. Just when his pet hobby seems
to take firm root, something hap
pens to upset his plans and hopes.
1.-The plan is a simple one TO give
working youngsters a chance to get
the benefit of competitive athletics
that prep school and college lads
enjoy" Hjertberg points out. And
what's more, it would give college
boys a chance to continue their track
and field competition after they are
graduated Some of the star attn
letes are picked up by the larger
athletic clubs, but the average ath-
lete does not have much OF an OPP
portunity to continue his develop
ment under the present scheme OF
things.
THE neighborhood idea, which
would automatically restrict an ath-
lete to competing for the section
in which he lives, would be froth
with the natural rivalry which adds
zest to competition We could start
out with around tne-block relays
and simple things like that and
guarantee you that it wouldn't be
long before some gifte d athletes
turned up. The main thing is that
it would promote healthy competl-
tive athletics for the thousands
who have no opportunity to take
part in sports at present"
Hjertberg has devoted his life to
track and field and intends to con-
tinue with his missionary work un-
til his neighborhood plan or some
thing similar to it, is put in opera

Teller ASKS
PLENTY AND
May Get IT

George M Varnell, writing re-
Gently in the Seattle Times, had
much to say anent young Bob Fell
Ter and his salary demands, as fol-
lows:
Imagine, e you please, rookie
pitcher asking twenty grand from
a big league club for his first full
season Of play under the big tent
Yet that, according to the eastern
reports, is what young Bob Teller
the schoolboy pitcher who was
awarded to Cleveland by Kenesaw
Mountain Lands, wants from the
Indians.
Such a demand, if it is official
is absolutely unheard of in the past
history of baseball. Why, Lefty Co
mez, with a contract for $22 500, was
the highest paid pitcher in the big
league hall in 1886. And for rookie
to ask $4,000, well, that's enough
to make the Cleveland bosses have
a nightmare.
Teller, you remember, is the 49,
year-old boy who joined the In
dams late in the SO season and won
five games, while he was losing
three. He had an average of 3.34
runs per nine-inning game in eff
fectiveness and was second only to
Lefty Grove in that bracket.
A contest over title to the lads
services followed during the winter
and after awarding Les Moines a
nice slice of cash, Judge Lands gave
the kid to Cleveland
Now Cleveland must engineer the
business of getting his name on a
contract and reports are that young
Feller is being well advised So well
advised that he has asked $4,000
for one year of service. 1t is highly
probable that the $4,000 reported as
Feller's price is exaggerated and
considerably, but it is equally prob
able that when the young star does
sign, he will have a contract calling
for more money than any rookie
pitcher has ever been given in his
league history.

Ireland. His activity in urging
the cause of the irish Republicans
was recognized in 1920 when he
was elected president of the Friends
of irish Freedom. He fought in
vain for release of Terence Mac
Swiney, mayor of Cork, who died
in Jail of a hunger strike.
Bishop Gallagher's pride IN his
church was Illustrated by an Incl
dent of his Tyrolean days. He was
offered a parish on the estate of an
Austrian Prince, and was met by
a servant upon his arrival. The
servant took him to quarters on the
second floor of the nobleman's sta
bles end told him he was to live
there.
Seeing in this an affront, not to
himself but to his church, Father
Gallagher lost no time in sending
word to the Prince that he was leav-
ng. Shortly thereafter he return
ed to America.

1. Sign a contract when received.
2. Cut out the monkey business.
3. Quit the high life and night

Behind it all, he confided, is his
ambition to become the leading

10th birthday, the veteran coach and
field coach is busily engaged in do

his pet project. the neighborhood

Hjertberg has been coaching track
and field sports since back in 1890,
and he still is as enthusiastic as
ever. He has produced more than
one mans share of Olympic and ma
