athletic events becoming COM
mercialized airings.
Mark Kelly, noted west coast
sport authority, points out an
odd but interesting fact that
large corporations which have
turned to radio are becoming
identified with one particular
brand of activity in the athletic
world.
Citing examples he brings up
the leading manufacturer which
sponsors all the important
fights in New York and which
has now usurped the privilege
to air thirteen coming cham
pionship fights nationally
through a contract with NBC
and the Twentieth Century
Sporting Club.
Kelly says that the sponsors
in tying up these events have
shown fast thinking inasmuch
as they appeal mostly to the
male element which buys the
biggest block of their commodi-
ties.
Other sponsors backing sport
ing events are cigar manufac-
turers, auto companies, manu-
facturers of sports equipment
and similar groups which de-
pend on the males for income.
Kelly, himself, is under spon-
sorship of tobacco company
with his sponsor giving him
full sway in passing out his
daily chatter. He has found
that to be the case with most
of the other sports reporters of

as 'assassanate.' Another fire.
quent stumbling block is the
double consonant, one student,
for example, spelling the same
word, 'assasinate.'
among the most common
words the most difficult seem to
be words containing diphthongs
which do not follow usual rules.
For example, if you apply the
usual rule of & before e except
after C. to the word Seize you
will mis-spell it 'sieze.'

another example of a word
which is not pronounced as it is

Printing Proposal

TNEIE new printing proposal
l. cannot be expected to ge5
down to the frozen part of the
pump for nine months to a year
II these and other unbroken ex-
perienceS count for anything.
Under this guide, the first Of
the proposed two billions, plus,
should start re aching the
damned business channel along
about next January. OF course,
the other expenditures for direct
relief will hit the ice immedi-
ately, but in amounts not
greatly exceeding the existing
rate Of relief expenditures.
The old PWA outfit has 2,7S5
projects listed as possibilities.
They are mostly for schools con-
Struction, waterworks, sewers,
auditoriuIns, etc., apparently
good projects of a non-produc-
tive nature. But the necessary
red tape surrounding the vari-
Gus stages of authorization can
not be cut any closer If careful
administration Of the funds is
to be followed.
BY that time business may or
may not be booming again.

Secret Plans

IT PROBABLY won't be neces-
L sary.
Opponents secretly plan to
force Rules Committee hearings
on the merits of the bill which
will advertise the fact that it
may make an industrial dictator
out Of Madame Perkins, the
Labor Secretary. (She would be
authorized to exempt or not eX-
enpt each industry at will0
These hearings will last a few
weeks at least and a few years
at most, If the opponents can
arrange it.
The struggle is already becom-
ing bitter but is almost entirely
on the inside. A very thin
chance exists that the President
will be able to wheedle some
legislation (not this bilD out Of
the situation before adjourn
ment. Proper odds would be
about 3 to / against that
chance.

nificantly closed. A survey made
privately by the opposition ind1-
Gates only four votes there In
favor Of the compromise. The
best the proponents have been
able to hope for from their polls
is a 7-to-7 tie, which would do
them no good.
Thus the chances of this par
ticular bill seem to be no better
than the last one.
The trouble seems to be that
the compromises were working
for Republican votes and have
aroused stronger Southern
Democratic antagonism. AS no
differentials for. the South are
provided, the New England Re
publicanS may be induced to
switch, but the SouthernerS are
determined to die, if necessary,
to kill the bill.

SOVIET CLERICS
HELD IN PURGE

MOSCOW, April IS G.N.S).
Easter Monday, according to the
Russian orthodox calendar, today
found at least Is religious and
noble leaders under arrest. So far
as the public prints were con-
cerned, the arrests were only
alphabetical.
First came Archbishop A" of
Moscow. Then Bishop B." six
priests; six monks, two nuns, and
a Count K" formerly a large
landowner.
But announcements Of the ar.
rests mentioned Others" and said
those arrested were accused of
"counter-revolutionary activities in
behalf of Germany, Japan and
Poland"
Word Of the arrests came as
thousands of Russians, in spite Of
Bolshevik frowns, went to church
to celebrate the Russian Easter
according to the uncorrected pre-
Gregorian calendar.

U. S. Monopoly

TVHE NATION possesses q
L monopoly Of helium. The
more that is sold, the more must
be produced, and the simpler be-
come production methods. The
simpler these are, the lower
drops the present sky-high price
Of the gas. The lower it comes,
the more uses may be made of
1t in our national life.
Airships are the only instru-
mentS which require helium in
such quantities as to force
greater production and cheaper
prices. But the Government
won't build airshipS, nor will it
encourage private enterprise to
build. It had been hoped that
the resumption of transatlantic
service by the German Zeppelin
Company would enc ourage
American interests to build and
take advantage Of our helium
monopoly. Harold (Horatius)
Ickes knocks that hope on the
head.

Precedent and Press

MANY Of those editors who
1VA dropped into the White
House the other night for the
annual friendly chat looked
over the door when they left
to see if they had gone to the
right place.
It is beginning to appear Mr..
Roosevelt does not like the
press, or any part Of 1t. For a
moment, in answer to one queS-
ton, he almost approved one
particular organization, but
then corrected himself and con-
demned even that one.
Presidents usually get that
way. The press cannot serve a
Presidents purposes, fully.

Recalls Letter

THE Ickes breast-beating grows
l. funnier still when one con-
templates a letter written last
May, on stationery marked:
"The Secretary Of the Interior,
Washington" and addressed to
the President of the United
States, in which were these
words: &c. Export sales can
be surrounded with safeguards
that will prevent the use of
helium by foreign countries for
military purposes. The army
and navy can estimate the
quantity Of helium required for
replenishment abroad after the
initial filling Of an airship in
this country, and with this
knowledge expectation could be
restricted so that a reserve Of
military Importance could not
be built up in foreign countries.
Cutting off the supply in times
Of stress would ground all ships
in a short time, because helium
is dissipated at rapid rate
when in airship use"

THE experience Of Houser
i Straus in slums printing is
similar, despite the big figures
which his organization has been
giving out the past few days.
The big figures represent alloca-
lions, not expenditures.
To date Mr.. Stratus has alloca-
Gated more than half his orr.
ginal 100000 fund, but he
has only spent $167, 600. This
expenditure represents the I'M

other in youngstown.
Thus, In the first eight months
Of effort only a few inconSe-
quential drops have even reached
