In general appearance and
character the great Dane is the
Hercules of dogdom. His dis
tinguished appearance, strength,
and dignity make him a most
desirable companion and pro

affectionate to his owners and
their children and re- rived and
watchful toward strangers. Like

FeW in Baseball

Baseball also offers little to
augment the colorful verbiage
of sport. Not since Babe Ruth
has any ball player sported any
outstanding handles. AS far as
the clubs themselves go, the
sports writer's have done them
selves proud. There's the St.
Louis Cardinals, known as the
Gas House Gang" and then
there were the Yankees of
Ruth's time, known as Muir
derers' Row" There were also
the Hitless Wonders, the name
given to the Chicago White Sox
team of some 20 years ago that
won the pennant with an indi-
vidual batting average that
sounded like Henry Armstrong;
weight at ringtime.
At that. come to think of it,
1t was a fight writer. Sid Mer-
Ger, who gave the Yankees their
famous name of Murderers' Row.
Down through the years, t h e
boys who stick their chins in the
resin and get Kleig eyes from
the bright lights have done
much to enrich the glossary of
the fight racket.
What more effective n m e
could there be for Joe Louis
than the Brown Bomber?"
Can't you Just see him blast
ing Schmeling to oblivion?
When Louis lost to Schmeling
the first time. some of the boys
called him, bit unkindly, per

bY Senator.

A swing back to prohibition was
predicted today by Senator Sheppard,
Democrat, of Texas, father of the
eighteenth amendment, in giving the
Senate his annual review of the wet
and dry question. Tomorrow will be
the eighteenth anniversary of the
adoption of the amendment, which
was repealed little more than four
years ago. .
After reviewing local option cleo
lions held in widely scattered parts of
the country, Senator Sheppard said
that. while they are two few to be
conclusive as to the general state of
public opinion, they are nevertheless
striking indications that the people
are becoming dissatisfied and con-
WINGED that repeal promises have not
been kept, also that present conditions
resulting from the sale of liquor need
to be changed"
In conclusion he declared 1.-THE
American people will not tolerate this
evil much longer, and we shall be
called upon as Federal lawmakers once
again to enact national legislation to
eradicate the greatest social menace
in the history of civilization 4" ."

PILOTS TO FAVOR
GRAvELLY POINT
Airport Terminal Site Supported
Along With Abandonment of
Washington Base.

Members of the National Air Line
Pilots Association and the Aero Club
OF Washington will unite in support
of President Roosevelt's plan for
abandonment Of Washington Airport
and construction of model air
terminal for Washington at Gravelly
Point, it was announced today.
John F. Victory. newly elected presi-
dent OF the Aero Club, who has Just
returned to Washington from Cleve-
land, where the First National Ayia-
ton Planning Conference advocated
construction Of an adequate Federal
airport for Washington. announced
himself as very distinctly in favor"
OF the Presidents plan.
President Roosevelt in his veto mes
sage on the bill to close Military road
and enlarge Washington Airport ex-
pressed himself as convinced of the
complete futility" of trying to i'm
prove Washington Airport at Federal
expense and Endorsed the Gravelly
Point site.
The Air Line Pilots, in indorsing
the Presidents stand on the local
airport matter. reiterated their belief
that Washington Airport should be
abandoned at once by the airlines.
The association, 1t was announced
today. takes the position that airline
operations should be moved to Boiling
Field Immediately for two reasons
to get the airline operations away
from an unsafe field and to insure
construction Of an adequate new air
port with the least possible delay.

Nen Tax Blank
Is Strean,lined:
Like 1t Better?
BY the Associated Press.


If you don't like the new income
tax blank which the Government has
Just sent out Treasury officials will
be disappointed for they say it has
been streamlined.
For instance. the ordinary wage
owner who doesn't own property
won't find space on the new blank
for figuring capital gains tax that
he doesn't owe. The schedule for
calculating this complicated tax ap-
pears on blanks sent to persons be-
lieved to be earning more than $4,000
year.
A new schedule, however. appears
on the blank for the little fellow"
This helps him figure the 10 per cent
deduction he is allowed on earned
income" such as wages.
Another innovation enables the tax
payer to swear to the accuracy of his
return without the notary public see
ing the amount of the tax. This was
accomplished by transferring the sig
nature line from the front to the back
of the blank
