sportsn1anship

A school needs good craftsmanship.
Every community needs it, the whole
world needs these characteristics in
her citizens. ra
One of the best places to tell q
good sport is at basketball game.
Does person boost his team, or does
he knock the other? Does he apprec-
late the fact that the referee is doing
his best, or does he "cry' continually
if his team is getting the worst of it
and cheer when they get the breaks's
Is he a good loser, able to congratulate
the winner, OF is he one that "can It
take it''? Does he cheer his team,
Or use personal remarks or sarcasm
against the other9
1t is the duty of ADULTS to Sc, II
good example of craftsmanship for
the pupils. Many high school basket
ball player has gotten to be poor
sport due to the influence OF poor
adult craftsmanship.
IS have, good craftsmanship, it
we are to have sports.

are not interested enough to come out
to the basketball games this year. To
overcome this lack of interest the
Student association has worked out
several incentives to get the people
to attend.

Workers Lao
OnRepOrt

About 800 employers faced the
threat of prosecution today for
violation of the District unemploy-
ment compensation act. John
Marshall, director Of the Unem-
ployment Compensation Board,
said he would initiate the actions
against the delinquents on the
grounds their failure or tardineSS
in filing reports with the board
has hampered the distribution Of
unemployment benefits.
Marshall's announcement came
shortly after Judge Hobart New
man of Police Court sentenced
Ellis P. Moon, colored undertaken,
of 1882 U st. N. w., to Is days in
jail or a $25 fine for failure to re-
port to the board for the last
three years.
Information about the law, Mar
shall said, has been distributed
among all the employers in the
city and there is no reason why
anyone could be uniformed about
the regulations. He added that
half the delay" in making un-
employment payments is the di-
rect result of the failure Of the
employers to furnish data on time
as required by law.

man With HOE
THING OF PAST

G.N.S) "The man with the
hoe" is rapidly being pushed out
of the picture by modern farm
machinery, principally the tractor,
according to a study by the De
partment of Agriculture today.
In competition with low-cost
energy supplied by the general
purpose tractor, and horses, in
some instances, the man with the
hoe is worth less than 10 cents
for a 10-hour day of hard labor,
the department estimated.
Based on corn belt farms, the
department said, maintenance
cost of a horse is 7.8 cents per
hour of work performed, while the
general-purpose tractor costs 81
cents an hour.
On the other hand, the depart
ment estimated, man has de
veloped farm machinery to such
an extent that the modern farmer
can produce 20 times as much
corn, and other crops, with the
same amount of labor as did the
farmer 100 years ago.

STOCK MARKET
TUMBLES Wit H
WAR IN OFFING
ChTysIer, ,EastmanKodak
Are Among Losers
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Sept. 26 Q.NS.l
The Stocmk market tumbled l to
4 points today as weekend de.
velopments heightened the fears
of war abroad.
Some support developed after
the early selling had been alb.
sorbed, reflecting hopes that
President Roosevelt's appeal and
the special mission or Sir Horace
Wilson to Hitler might avert the
threatened catastrophe. However,
the firmneSs was succeeded by re-
newed selling toward midday,
when early losses were extended.
CHRYSLER TUMBLES
A number of active high-priced
stocks tumbled 8 to points. These
included Chrysler, Eastman Ko-
dak, Westinghouse, Philip Morris,
Allied Chemical, Johns Manville,
U. S. Gypsum, and U. S. Smelling.
Norfolk & western in the first
sale since last Tuesday tumbled
is points.
There was little to choose in
leadership on the decline except
that the blue chips were inclined
to be the hardest hit, in view OF
their thin markets.
Bethlehem and U. S. Steel led
their group down, with declines
running to nearly 3 points.
Atchison with fall of nearly 3
points set the pace for a weak
market in rails.
FOREIGN BONDS SUFFER
Coppers were in supply, Cerro
de Pasco falling 3 points. UtlI'
tiles, which had been moving In
a relatively narrow range in recent
sessions, suffered losses exceeding
"a point. Oils were under pressure
and the rest of the market dis
played a weak undertone.
Foreign bonds suffered wide
DOSES in a lower bond market.
There were no nearby bids for
Czech issues. Wheat was strong
while cotton dropped so cents a
bale. Foreign exchanges hit new
lows for several years.

New Deal has partly destroyed the
good its SEC might do, by going
to extremes and adopting a pu-
nitive spirit which kills conf.
dence. The stock market has
been as wild as ever.
So, also, the idea Of old age
reserves is old. The New Dealers
took it up and have all but ruined
it by their heavy tax to raise a
nuge reserve fund which is mis-
used for political purposes.
That is the trouble. They 20
to extremes. They have politics
in mind all the time. They pay
no attention to consistency, hon.
eSty nor to sound economic prin-
cipleS.
Why is there so much unem.
lployment?
Why have our farmers lost
their foreign markets?
Why are taxes so high?
Why Is there so much labor

Riverside, Calf, asks: What

Answer: BY managed currency.
l mean a condition in which no
objective money standard is ef.
tectlve, but the Government un.
dertakes to manipulate the price

to raise or lower it by open mar.
ket operations" juggling bank re-
serves, devaluation. etc., etc,
There is always some money
management, even when a nation
is on gold standard; but it is
limited by that standard, and
thus is not entirely arbitrary.

which our Government now con.
trolls the banks and their reserves,
and then borrows from them by
going through the motions of sell.
ing them its bonds as investments,
is just plain silly. It would be
funny, if the results were not so
serious.
The present Administration con.
trolls the issue of all our currency,

this it has more and more gone
into the business of lending
money.

COURT UPHOLDS
ZONE DECISION

Attempt of two Brooklsnd prop
erty owners to reverse a decision
of the District Zoning Commits
sion, which refused to rezone their
property from residential to com
mercial proved futile today when
the Court of Appeals sustained
the commission action.
In passing on the case, the court
discarded an argument advanced
by the petitioners that the po'
tential commercial value of their
property should be a major factor
in the consideration with the
statement that fitness or unfit
ness for residential use is a matter
not merely Of degree, but OF
opinion"
The court added residential
zoning is not invalidated by the
fact that II the property were
available for business purposes Its
market value would be greatly en-
hanced'."
Gilbert Leventhal and Henry OK
enberg sought to have their pro
perty at Michigan Avenue
Twelfth and Randolph Streets
North East rezoned for business
use. The zoning commission
turned down the proposal and
when the petitioners sued in Dis
trict Court, the case was thrown
out on a motion to dismiss. The
court held the commission must
be shown to have been arbitrary
and unreasonable"
Justices Harold Stephens and
Henry w. Edgerton and Chief JUS
tice D. Lawrence Groner in the
appellate court, filed a minority
opinion holding the zoning COM
mission should be made to answer
the suit.
