Completely contented baseball
coaches are undoubtedly as rare
as Dixie Republicans, and Herman
Littman, Roosevelt mentor, is no
exception, Judging from his dis
satisfaction at the hitting-or lack
of it-that characterizes his dia-
mond charges at the present time.
Hope springs eternal in the hui
man breast, however, and Coach
Littman looks forward to the day
when batting eyes will awaken
from Morpheus spell to the
chagrin Of enemy hurlers.
Speaking Of pitchers brings
around one of the phases that
pleases Roosevelt supporters, as
Mr.. Littman has characterized his
moundsmen as being very effective
in recent practice sessions. He
finds other reasons for optimism
in more than competent catcherS
and the competitive spirit of the
squad. The fielders, he says, have
yet to prove their ability.
GROOMED FOR SHORT
Billy Robertson, who bolstered
the Rough Rider cagers this last
season, is being groomed for short:
his brother, Sharrard Robertson,
played short last year and is now
on the freshman team at Mary
land. Harry Gray, all7State short
stop in Florida last year, is also
a candidate for the post, but will
have his exceptional speed trans
ferred to left field if Robertson
shapes up. he adds football to
his list of accomplishments, hay
ing played in the backfield last
season.
Frank Yankee" Laddbush, re.
serve shortstop last year, seems to
be up against some tough compe.

is Jacks last year Jimmy Ar.
buthnot and Jimmy Robertson are
the Stalwarts in center and left
field, respectively the latter
is Billy's twin brother, although
nobody could tell it by appearance.
BACKSTOP CANDIDATES
Hymie Perlo, another court ace,
George "Call-Me-Jack" Adamson
and RED" Hutchinson comprise
the backstop division the boys
who'll dish it out to them include
Billy Bauer, veteran Southpaw, in
his last year; Bob Waters, an out
standing hurler whose services
were lost the other day when he
broke his wrist while sliding into
third in a practice session; Jack
Lyon, a recruit from the Junior
class; Jack Reddinger, who will
be gone with graduation; and Dan
Boothe, who turns into a receiver
in the fall, being an end on the
football squad.
Sylvan Stein, who played a bit
last year, and Leonard Eiker, a
new port-sided fielder, hold down

Clashes With
Rudy Dusek

When Turner'S Arena opens Its
doors for the wrestling show to-
night, the assembled gathering
should have all the flavor Of a
League of Nations ball. The reg,
ular clientele, which has been con-
Quoting some torrid competition

Princess Bahia arrived here this

cared boys had difficulty adjust
ing themselves to calling a lady
"Her Royal Highness," and if they
lapSed into the proSaic "Toots"

only one and one-half hours of work
 The typical market basket used in the analysis included pound each of bacon, beef, bread butter potatoes and sugar; dozen eggs and quart of milk. Cost of those items at retail in Pittsburgh last year was approximately s114,' says Steel Facts.
 At the 1887 average earnings of 82 cents hour, the typical American steel worker would have had to work approximately hour and twenty-four minutes 10 earn the money required to purchase this basket Of food.
 Tn France the steel worker would have had to work an average of BE- hours to earn an amount sufficient to pay for a similar basket of food in England g. hours; in Sweden, A. hours; Ger many 52. hours; in Belgium, ' hours; in Italy loH hours; and in Russia, 23l9 hours
 Tn most foreign countries, the cost of food last year in terms of hours of work was somewhat below comparable figures for 1886 reflectng increases in wages and lower food costs
 The longer periods which foreign Steel employees must work in order buy food reflect not only the substantially higher wages paid in this country but also the fact that many foods cost less here than abroad.
 "A pound of bread and quart of milk can be bought with the money received for only l5 minutes of work in American steel mills, whereas foreign workers would have to work from Is to 100 minutes
 Tn little less than ten minutes, the American steel worker amount sufficient to pay for pound of chuck beef. By comparison, the average steel worker in England would have to work 20 mn- utes in France 24 minutes; in Sweden. half an hour; in Belgium hour; in Italy, an hour and three-quarters; and in Russia, over three hou1s
 Because he can earn an amount sufficient for his food requirements in shorter space of time, the American steel worker normally can devote larger of his income to items other than sub sstence.
 ITO the extent that European steel plants oper- ate larger number of hours each week than these this country the purchasing power of steel workers abroad is brought closer to that of the American workers. Any reduction in the cost of food-stutfs abroad since the International Labour Office con- piled it's figures would also tend to improve the com parative position of the European workers"
 There is, as Steel Facts points out much better standard of living in this country And from it we should take the tip to retain that standard and in prove it where possible and thus avoid some ot the very stuff they are experiencing the waters.

Intervention in China?
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 It is rumored that the British and French Con- suls General in Shanghai are discussing plan to intervene in China in an effort to bring the Sino Japanese war to a close Tn substance, this would mean the British having already persuaded the French are attempting to win American support for joint proposal to Japan In all probability, the scheme would call for the withdrawal of Japan from the Yangtze Valley leaving her in control of North China
 The trouble with this proposal, if indeed it has been made, is that it fits too nicely the pattern Of British interests It is generally known that Great Britain has relatively small interest in North China, stake in South China. British concern at the drift Of events in the Far East abruptly when Japan began fortnight ago to move against Annoy and FOO chow, ports of Southern China
 The United States should be willing to cooperate to the utmost with Britain and Franceand any other powers concerned-in any intervention designed to restore peace decent terms But it is very doubtful whether should pin our faith on project of inter vention which would confirm Japan's right by con- quest to five northern provinces. That is the way Britain has been appeasng various Relationships in recent years But there is need for the United States to engage in this shameful business of ratfy- ing the conquests of aggressors.
 The United States might properly join other powers in search for peace, but only terms that the Chinese themselves prepared to sanction After all it is their country which has been invaded It is their army which has resisted Japan for almost a year And there is increasing possibility that China will make Japans present gains too costly to hold China would be foolish to approve interven- ton which would give an international blessing to Japan's conquest of Hopei and Shantung. And the United States should not join the British in their habtual pastime of keeping peace by giving away slices of other peoples territory.

PRIMING THE PUMP IN JUNEAU

Congress has decided with the President to prime the pump It has passed the spending and lending bill which earmarks more than three and one-half billion dollars for public expenditure. Some of it will go to public works projects other vast amounts will 20 for relief purposes An amendment included by the Senate at the request of Senator Lewis B. Schwelenbach of Washington to permit allotment of some of the funds for public works projects in Alaska Whether the conference committees will leave this amendment in has not yet been ascertained It is only fair that they should Alaska is just as much entitled to Federal aid in public works and for relief
 as any other part of the United States In fact being under direct domination of the Federal government without the independent setup of States the Territory should be given perhaps more consideration than state commonweaths which have their own facilities for caring for their needy and to carry forward their public projects

If Alaska is permitted to share in the PWA expenditures, and it appears likely. an oppor tunty will be afforded to push forward a great deal of development which the communities Of the Territory need. If the Dimond bond bill had become law, which appears very im- probable now. the Territory a whole could have benefited; roads airpanes and other projects aimed toward development could have been constructed However, municipali ties will be able to share in the benefits if the amendment carries

Right here in Juneau there a great many prci which could be undertaken with the aid of FcGara funds which would make for progress and growth in the community. Several of them have been enumerated before such as a new municipal building to include library; paving on Wfoughby; connecting the school buildings and many others. How far the city go due to it's present bonded debt of s200000 is something of question, but with the opportunity afforded for Federal assistance Juneau, like the other communities which already have moved toward action. should plan to take advantage n a modest and reasonable way.

licious, delightful; but they were
defiling. Hence appetite was curb
ed by the conscientious Hebrew
lads. Nothing is wilder than wild
appetite.
(4) Control of Tongue. In his
appeal, Daniel used his tongue
Alright and won. Had he used it
superciliously or cynically, ne
would have failed. The uncheck-
ed tongue scatters firebrands and
death. Capture it; control it; con-
secrate. it,.
(5) Contfol of Temper. His
lovableness and affability served
Daniel well in his association with
the steward and other palace Of
ficials. Lost temper means lost
power. Temper controlled is a
powerful dynamo.
co. Control of Countenance.
Why were the Hebrew youths
fairer in countenance than their
fellow students? Mastered appe.
tite, controlled desire, simple diet,
regular habits, a clear conscience;
these were the secrets. And no
cosmetics today can equal them.
CD Control of Body. Daniel
could not have stood the physi-
cal strain of craftsmanship in the
worlds metropolis for many dec.
AIDES if he had not discovered the
secrets of bodily care and control.
Keep the body at its best.
(8) Control of Mind. In the &C.
QUESTION of knowledge no stu
dents in the Babylonian college
surpassed the young Hebrews
from Jerusalem. Their minds were
keen; they studied; they learned.
You cannot get an education with
a mind out of control.
co. Control of Conduct. Daniel
and his companions attained skill
which is applied knowledge, and
they had wisdom which is the
right use of knowledge. Confine
the stream Of life to its proper
channel.
l0) Control of Destiny. The
Hebrew collegians on examina.
ton became honored courtiers.
Their power and influence as
rown-officials were determined
by their character and conduct as
college students. Fidelity fore.
casts the future.
