turned to baseball as coach of the
Dodgers, seems pretty sure he will
be manager and 'sBoily" Grimes
will get the gate. 1T should cheer

Bill Terry has used an Italian, a
Pole, an Irishman and Greek at

shoes. Owner Briggs of the tt
gers bought each of the Detroit
players SIPS suit for trimming
the Senators the other day. The
rumor is going around that Hart
nett will be the next manager of
the Dodgers. Reggie Otero is
still leading the Florida State
League batters with an average
of 1856. He plays with the Saints.
Otero is followed by Rogino and
Bray Of Gainesville, with $3.50
and .349 respectively. Helms of
Gainesville is the leading pitcher
in the Florida State League. He
has won five and lost none. In
the big leagues, Lavagetto of
Brooklyn Dodgers was leading
the senior circuit with $50. fol-

ban. however, has been made SO sweep
ing that even the peace-loving citizen is
prohibited from sounding so much as
feeble toot, once the hour of midnight
has struck. Only police, fire and other
bona fide emergency vehicles are ex-
empted from the order No exception is
made for the private motorist who. sud-
denly confronted with a pedestrian in
the middle of q dark street, instinc-
lively moves to sound a warning of dan
ger. This will be bewildering to the
careful driver who has been taught all
these years that 1t was his duty to give
a reasonable warning to unwary persons
or animals in his pax.
Mr.. Van Duzer. anticipating these
protests, says the privilege OF footing
horns at night has been abused by many
drivers, exhilarated by the switching of
of crossing lights or whatnot. This has
given rise to speeding and general reck-
lessness and resulting accidents The
tendency has been, he asserts, to depend
on the horn rather than the brakes when
obstacles are encountered.
Undoubtedly, the police will exercise
discretion in making arrests under the
new order. Otherwise they may have to
face the embarrassing task OF arresting a
careful driver for saving some ones life
by sounding horn in the still of the
night.

would not be that easy for them. There
would be investigations, bankruptcy
courts, referees ard the like, which would
add months to the final settlement.
Senator Vandenberg aptly summed up
the case, after the Senate recovered from
its shock, when he said that the measure
was dramatic summary that demon
strates the extent to which Congress has
used the resources of the r. F.. c. to
finance relief and subsidies and benefits,
and frequently in situations when it did
not care to confess that it was making

At least any economic royalist would
have had to call it deficit, or charge
1t to profit and loss. But in this case,
while ostensibly only a bookkeeping
transaction, 1t nevertheless becomes 4

already overburdened taxpayers of the

Perhaps the dogs action most lacking
in plain common sense is chasing auto
mobiles.
You will never catch a cat doing that.
But dogs do 1t for sport, let us say, to put
the best Interpretation on it.
Something moving along, something
that does not belong to one
1tis not fair to blame the dog but the
action does not bespeak much brains.
No doubt it doesn't show much brains
on the part OF dog owners, either, that
they permit their pets to chase machines
Of steel.
Breaking dog of this bad habit is
difficult, but it has been done. Several
devices to achieve the desired result have
been patented, but a little time and
patience will get the same result.
The dog is watched. and when it chases
after car, it is recalled, folded paper
smacked vigorously on the hand, which
is held over the rear portion of the
animal.
1t Is not necessary to hit the dog.
This requires some time, however, and
time seems to be what most modern dog
owners, except at shows, have little of
even for their pets.
The bark Of the dog is what the cat
admirer shrinks from most of all
This harsh, ugly noise is so different
from the ordinary or extraordinary meow
or yowl of the cat that it strikes the
ear as a cross between a fog horn and
an old rattletrap automobile coming
down the street.
The strident note in the dogs bark was
there
of the automobile horn, as a warning.
The creature. therefore, can be blamed
for the harsh quality of it's note no more
than the automobile horn.
The cat friend however will find it no
animal can do.
The soft meow of the cat, on the other
hand, he finds exactly right
Even when the creature is yoWling in
the night, its friends find much to admire
in its clear notes, somewhat resembling
those OF highly paid coloratura soprano.

Cats, too, are vastly more friendly than
dogs, and show more sense about it.
Some dogs never learn friends from
foes. Fox terriers. in particular, are no.
toriously silly in this regard
Allcy WILL UdIk dC Llle same person ddy
after day.
Hunting dogs show more sense. They
may bark the first time stranger comes
along, but let him make a regular habit
OF his walk, and the dogs will shortly get
onto the fact. and let him walk in peace.
Fox terriers never; they bark as furi-
ously upon the hundredth appearance as
upon the first. This may be proving
them good Watchdogs, but the essence of
good watching is showing some sense.
Neither dogs, cats nor humans can escape
from the necessity of what has been
called, for want of better term, plain
common sense.
AS sensible creatures. cats seem to have
the edge on dogs. They take life as they
ind 1t, and try to make the best of it
They are more friendly, given half a
chance, and are affectionate enough.
Ihey do not make harsh noises lust for
the sake of making them. They do not
growl at their best friends, nor menace
their pals that come for taste of salmon.

Combating Fascism.

Aldous Huxley, in developind the
theme OF his recent book, that means
are never justified by the ends toward
which they work. because the nature
OF the latter is colored by the character
OF the former, fears for democracy be-
cause in combating Fascism it Is in
evitably led to employ methods identical
with those employed by Fascists.
In this connection Mr.. Huxley referred
specifically to the current competitive
increases in armaments. But his argu-
ment seems to have suffered some con-
tradlction recently in the dispatch of
six American Army bombers to the in
auguration of President Ortiz in Argen-
tina. There seems to be a sphere of
pacific struggle in which the democ-
racies can meet Fascism without fear
that they are deserting their own
principles.
This gesture of recently restored good
will between one of the leading republics
OF South America and the great republic
which Latin American writer's have been
pleased to designate the COLOSSUS of
the north" has nothing of a Fascist
character In itself, although it bears
marked significance as a counteraction
to the recent spectacular fight of Bruno
Mussolini and his squadron of flyers
from Rome to Rio de Janeiro, which was
just one more overture of Fascism's Duce
to the Latin peoples of the South.
Six weeks earlier, in apparent response
to the practice of Hitler and Mussolini,
President Roosevelt's message to Con-
gress was broadcast to the world in six
languages and a systematized schedule
OF short-wave news broadcasts in various
foreign languages by American radio
chains was revealed. The flight further
spotlights the unwillingness of the Amer
can democracy to permit its sister repub-
lies to be lured away by a philosophy
alien to this hemisphere and inimical to
its democratic ideals.
The United States is not interested in
marshaling the republics south of the
Rio Grande behind warlike program
OF revision of the status quo anywhere,
but it is interested in repelling as COM
pletely as possible the enticement of its
neighbors into the orbit of a political
bloc whose objective is to overturn and
re-establish the world order in its own
interest. A live attention in the United
States to the intangibles of friendship
and courtesy for the Southern republics
will go far toward defeating the SYM
pathies for Fascism, which, if intensified
among the numerous italian and Ger
man populations of South America,
might prove stimulus to the centripetal
forces of that political theology.
Mr.. Huxley's view appears to have
been too narrow. Democracies may be
risking their integrity by competing with
Fascism in warlike spheres, but a pacific
resistance against the new theories is
thoroughly in keeping with the spirit
Of democracy.

Silencing the Horns.

The District Commissioners have un-
dertaken an interesting, albeit drastic,
experiment in prohibiting the blowing
Of automobile horns from midnight to
Tam.
Certainly, the chronic nocturnal horn
footing pest had it coming to him. Traf-
nc Director Van Duzer and the Com
missioners apparently have had their
own personal experiences with this type
Of nuisance. Few citizens have escaped
his ear-splitting, sleep-disturbing, nerve
jangling breaches Of the public peace.
Some persons have been disposed to
look with degree of tolerance on such
ofenses. cognizant of the fact that
romantic swain may be signaling his
sweetheart. The sentimentalists feel
that nothing should be done to inter-
fere with the orderly course Of true ro-
nance. There comes q time, however,
when even sentiment is likely to be
driven out Of the window by the per-
sistent blasts of an automobile horn
in the street below.
There are other varieties OF post
midnight horn-tooters, some of them
seemingly beset by pure fiendishness,
but the racket they make sounds the
same to any ear. They are all to become
offenders by swoop of 4 Commissioners
pen.
This is as 1t should be, In view Of

Business Outlook.

Undismayed by current fears fr~ the
future of business, officials Of the Capital
Transit Company have decided to spend
100000 on new equipment which will
enable them to improve the service they
render the public. That decision is
laudable in two respects.
In the first place. it reflects a dis
passionate and intelligent attitude to-
ward the present and future business
situation. Some business men, alarmed
by existing conditions, have been un-
willing to make any capital improve
ments. 1t may be that in some lines Of
business such caution is justified, but
there is no gainsaying the fact that de-
preston is prolonged and intensified
when business men as class retire to
their storm cellars and remain there
until prosperity comes to them.
In the field Of public transportation
there is good reason to believe that
revenues are governed in large meas
ure by the quality of the service offered
the public. Onicials of the transit COM
pany have shown a determination to
render the best possible service, expect
ing in return an increasing number of
patrons. That this expectation is well
founded is indicated by the readiness
with which local banks subscribed to the
million dollar loan.
This business principle applies not only
to street car and bus companies, but to
virtually all lines of activity. Before
business men as a class resign them
selves to hopeless future they should
be sure they have made every prudent
effort to improve whatever product they
have to sell The American public has
demonstrated its willingness to spend
money II it receives full value in return.
