Strange Burial Rite
Held Yearly by Clan

CINCINNATI.-A strange buri-
al ceremony was held here for
the sixty-ninth time when the
body of John o. German, sixty
one, of Vincennes, Ind, was in
tered.
Each year approximately 400
members of the nomadic German
family assemble here in tribute
to members of their clan who
have died during the last year.
The rite has been followed an.
nually since 1870.
The Germans come from all
walks of life, but annually drop
their business pursuits to make
the pilgrimage OF the dead"

of the family, manages a travel

Lake Well Liked

Among the Llthuanians, Lake
Naratus IS most kindly esteemed
for, as the story goes there, in
year of terrible famine when people
were dying by the hundreds, the
lake cast out huge patches of fish
on both sides of the shore for ten
days and the people were saved
from starvation.

every side Of the lovely and very

within itself. Some of the finest
farm lands, with cattle on the
hillsides, beautiful yeards, max
ing life worthwhile to everyone
who likes progress added joys
to the party of friends and kept
everything pleasant all the way.
They had reached the beautiful
home of Mr.. Gilmore Woody
about two o'clock and found her
in good health, with smiles and
happy in her c ozy home ready
and delighted to see her rela-
tives and friends. When it was
learned that these people from
Keystone were in Tazewell, Vir-
ginia,, word was sent to Mrs.
Cecil and daughters where, they
spent at least an hour or more
in this very beautiful home. To
tell the truth Mrs. Cecil and her
daughters are among some of
the very best people of Tazewell.
Their doors stand ajar at all
times to their friends and hos
pitality is their first word. They
exemptifedl their hospitality
like aristocratic Virginians do
by spreading a table with any and
all of the plentitudes of domest-
ic life. Around this table with
at least twelve personal friends

never saw people at so much,

In the economic field-after

So long as the present tariff

again we find it true as the

spend any more time and money
waiting for the New Deal to
come across with the prosperity
promised in 1882 and again in
1886. Political observers both in
and out of the New Deals
choice inner circle are granting
that the Republican party will
make gains in the coming cleo
non. The only variance in these
predictions is just how MANY

Will get. Even the Democrats
concede that SO seats NAV be

There is such thing as eff
cheney which does not lie in its
testimony of racial or individual
values. Any time you see peo-
pie who live the life of the song,
"Tm going to live anyhow until
/ die" you may write the word
inferior" behind such people.
1t is a sad day when people are
in such big hurry that they
feel at liberty to half do things
and at the same time want people
to boast of their achievement in
a world of efficiency and daring.
A Columbia, SC, a man was
counting the faults which he
saw in the white race of South
Carolina. One of the many faults
which he found was that they
did not allow free speech. AS he
talked l thought of the white
collar Negro of these United
States. He does not allow free
speech among n l S own people.
He does not differ in respectful
opinion with the one whose ex-
pressed sentiment. he does not
like, he goes into ridicule and
blackguard. For instance if a
man differs with an opinion of a
white-collar Negro he comes
back at him with intended
insults and ridicule, calling him
an Uncle Tom Negro.
Let us suppose that Negro
should write and publish his
reactions on the anti lynching
bill. Great Scott, wouldn't the

'WHIz' WHITE AT GARDEN TONIGHT
Colorado vs N. Y. U.; 'SWisher' Schwartz to
 Play; Title Game
BY LESLIE AVERY

United Press Stan C0rreSp0ndent)
 New York, March IA - (U.P0 - Collegiate basketball's invitation world series" goes into the semi final round tonight with a double header which sends Temples tow ering Owls against Oklahoma A. and M., and New York University against Colorado's Buffaloes.
 The winners will clash Wednesday night for a mythical national cham pionship and trophy offered by the New York Basketball Writers Association, sponsors of the tourna- ment. Another trophy will be awarded to the outstanding player of the five-game tournament.
 tt Attraction
 Of even more interest than to- nights games was the scheduled first appearance here of Colorado's Byron "Whizzer" White, all-Amer- ican halfback last fall. White said he was still considering an offer of $15,OO0 to join the professional Pittsburgh Pirates football team. He is weighing this proposition against Rhodes scholarship which would take him to Oxford.
 White, all conference basketball guard of the Big Seven Rocky Mountain loop for two years, said that if he decided to join the. Pir- ates he would like to try out with a major league baseball club next spring.
 T did all right in high school and college baseball, and if I can make the grade I figure I can last longer in big time baseball than in professional football" he said. Be Sides-there's more money on the diamond if you make good"
 Sharpshooter
 On the Colorado basketball team, White has brilliant team-mate in Jim "SwiSher" Schwartz, who sent a new conference scoring mark of 17.7 points per game in the season just ended. Three outstanding sopho- more stars complete the Buff Five. They are center Jack Harvey; Don Hendricks, paired at forward with Schwartz, and Jim Willcoxen who, with White, polces the Colorado basket.
 Against this starting lineup, which averages over six feet in height, N. Y. U., will send the same quintet which upset Long Island U. in the opening round last Wednesday. Bob- by Lewis fine performance in that affray merits serious consideration by Joe Lapchick's individual player award committee.

CARD FANS SEE SLUCC|NC TRIO
 AT LEAGUE TOP
Medwick Rated Leader, Followed By Mize and
 Slaughter
BY PAUL DIX
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 St. Louis - (UP) =. Take it for what it's worth, but supporters of the St. Louis Cardinals predict the 1888 race for National League batting honors will be a three-way contest between Joe (the Duck) Medwick, Johnny Mize and, Rookie Enos Slaughter, leading sluggers of the Gas House Gang.
 Medwick is cinch to repeat his performance of last year, St. Louis fans say. He ran up 8 batting average of .374 to lead the league, and observers predict that unless he breaks an arm or leg in mid season he will even surpass last years feat if for no other reason than that he will have strenuous competition from his two team mates.
 Mize Formidable Rival
 Mize. big first baseman, is ex- pected to provide most of The Ducks competition. The 25-year- old Georgian was runner-up in batting in the senior circuit last year in his second season with the Cardinals. Observers say that if he continues to show the same progress demonstrated in the past two years he may even pass Med- wick.
 Mize was the National Leagues outstanding rookie in 1886 when he broke into the Cardinal lineup by busting Rip Collins from first base. He batted 1928 that year, and proved it was no flash-in-the- pan performance last season by batting .364, second only to Med- Wick's .374.
 Medwick and MiZe were consid- cred the best "one-two punch" in the league last season. In fact, If The Duck had not chalked up his best season to date, Mize would have been the hitting sensation of the league. Not only was he second to Medwick in batting, but he was the next-best all-around slugger in the loop.
 Hit 25 Home Runs
 Few. second year players have equalled Mize's record. His 333 total bases were second only to Medwick's 4O6. His 40 doubles were second to Medwick's 58. He also batted out triples and 25 players runs. He was one of three players to hit safely 200 times and bat in more than 100 runs and was one of eight players to score more than 100 runs. In addition, Mize was the only player in the National league to hit a home run in every park in the circuit.
 The 21-year-old Slaughter, re- cruited from the American Asso- ciation Red Birds during the win- ter, is believed to be the most promising rookie to break into the National League since Medwick joined the Cardinals in 1892.
 With only two years of profes- sional baseball experience, Slaugh- ter led the field in the American Association last year with a bat ting average of 1882. He also led in number of hits, total bases, runs scored. He hit A doubles, 13 triples and 26 home runs.
 Slaughter's inexperience may cramp his style somewhat in the 1888 season, but the Cardinals be- lieve he will still finish the season among the leagues foremost slug gers.
