Sending scouts through the
hinterlands of baseball will then
be a needless expenditure of
money and labor, when COM
municating direct with managers
and owners whose best interests
will be served by policy of rigid
truth in appraising players, will
give major league owners the in
formation they must have.
When the major league owners
at the meeting of the big timers
rescinded the rule prohibiting ma
jor league clubs signing Sandlot
players, it was said, quite piously'
that the minor leagues themselves
had recommended the rule. 1t
was suggested that the minors had
acted advisedly, and by advice,
since their bread is buttered by
patronage drawn from big league
clubs. It was said at the time
that major league clubs controlled
the policies of great majority OF
minor league teams.

Foes Oppose
Tenth Time
Tonight
BY GINO SINH

Washingtonians who remember
Ellsworth Vines, the California
blaSter, in his various appearances
here during the last five years will
be wondering if he has shaken off
the effects of his recent illness
sufficiently to put all the scorch-
ing power in that forehand smash
of his tonight when he tries con-
clusions for the tenth time with
his newest and, obviously, most
dangerous professional enemy,
Fred Perry, of England, in Ritchie
Coliseum at University of Mary
land at $50 o'clock.
That the debonair Briton is a
brilliant performer no one who has
followed his career dareS deny, but
the lanky Californian, conquerer
of such renowned pro stars as Big
Bill Tilden, Karel Kozeluh, Martin
Plaa and Hans Nusslein, appears
to be his superior by every rote

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25.-Fred
Perry's elation over defeating
Ellsworth Vines in their profes-

pered with gloom today, for some
one stole the racket he priced so
highly.
Autograph seekers found the
famous EngliShman virtually in

theft.
Perry announced, however, he
and Vines may go to England to
play a series of three matches

In addition, he said, he had pur-

TEACHERS WANT
MORE MONEY

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Co =
A campaign has been started
here to increase the pay Of colored
teachers in Jacksonville and Duval
county public schools. M. D. Rich
ardson, writing in the Florida Tat
tier on the situation, says:
'Why do Duval County's Negro
teachers want more money? The
answer is simple: because there
are less than a dozen of them get
ting enough to live decently and
honestly on. There are less than
a hundred of them getting, for
grammar and high school work, as
much As other teachers in the
county get for the lowest-rated
primary work. When their sal
aries are compared with other
teachers in Duval County, they av-
erage just about forty percent and
seldom more than fifty percent"

It March 30 1867 just TO years ago that Seward closed the deal paying Russia what was then considered fabulous amount of money for what appeared to be frozen wilderness.

 But time revealed Alaska to be more than ice berg It has produced the years many times the amount originally paid for it. Indeed, it is rather paradox that now 70 years later, with the original investment long since paid off that consideration is being given to expending $8,0OOO0O, more than the purchase price in development program through which anticipated that Alaska will add to that vast amount it already has produced in fish, fur, gold and other commodities.

On the statute books of the Territory of Alaska is a compulsory school law which among other things, provides that children outside of incorporated school districts shall be furnished transportation to schools in their locality At the regular session of the 18th Legislature it was decided to eliminate an item which intended to pay for such transportation. How nothing done about the law It is still on the books there money for it to be carried out

 The result has been storm of protests on all sides

NEW YORK, March 2S. The weary salesgirl neatly folded an other Easter handkerchief and looked up with tired smile.
 My idea of the perfect custo- mer?" she responded Now you are asking something"
 She doesn't push and shove. She takes her turn being waited on. She doesn't muss up everything on the counter. She doesn't complain in a whiney voice to the floor walker when she returns merchandise and has to wait a few seconds for an OK. on the return. And she never shouts at the salesgirl under any circumstances.
 That's my ideal customer. And she's a big order.
 T get laugh out of these women who rush up to the counter scream ing to be waited on,' she contin- ued. They never buy anything much, you know. They just like to act important.
 Reduced Price Fiends
 And these reduced price fiends. If something isn't reduced they aren't interested. If it is they'll buy-even if it's the worst kind of junk"
 Every salesgirl faces the same problem. how to deal with all types of customers without rub bring any of them the wrong way. And every customer is confronted with a similar enigma: how to get what she wants with the least trou- ble all around.

 Makes Up Her Mind
 The "ideal' customer makes up her mind, at least partially, about what she's going to buy. When the salesgirl asks her, May I help you?" she can answer, Yes, I'm looking for a purse. I want it to carry with a dark brown tweed suit And I want something that is large

STEEL FAMINE
 STRIKES JAPAN

TOKYO, Mar. 29-Because of the policy the Tokyo government has been pursuing recently of endeavor- ing to protect the Japanese pig ron and steel industries and to stimulate their growth, the empire faces a serious shortage of steel and the capital city is crying for more of this metal so vital to the construction of modern buildings.
 Not until the steel famine was actually upon the nation did the government decide to pull town the legal barriers which were keeping badly needed steel supplies out of the country.
 It has been announced the tariff on pig iron will be suspended en- tirely for period of two years, and the importation of finished steel will be encouraged, although the government still prefers to pur- chase pig iron abroad and fabri- cate the steel in Japanese mills.
 The excessive demands made by the army and navy for their re- plenishment programs are given as one factor contributing to the steel shortage. Failure of the Soviet government to continue its expor- tation of pig iron, amounting to about 100000 tons annually, since the conclusion of the German Japanese agreement against the comintern, is seriously aggrevating the already existing shortage.
