UPLIFTING PRAYER. I"
BY REV. J. EVERETTE NEESF

Sometimes a fog will settle over a
vessels deck, yet leave the topmast
clear. Then the sailor goes up aloft
and gets lookout which the helms
man on deck cannot get So prayer
sends the soul aloft; lifts it up above
the clouds in which our selfishness
and egotism befog us, and gives
chance to see which way to steer.

case Either they don't really know how cold it in that bitter January of 18, '08 '78-or else they have looked it up and find the facts don't help their argument at all
 There are trends in temperatures, in most other things But the trends show up in the course of few thousand years rather than couple of de- cades Weather is very much what it was when grand father boy on the farm.
 But you will never convince grandfather of that. He remembers cutting wood in zero weather, and forgets that it may be outside this very minute while he is relaxing within eight inches of warm radiator He remembers ramping to school through deep snow in a blizzard forgetting that he out cnly yesterday in the sort of weather protected by the heater in his automobile.
 That is the difference. The essentials change very little But better protected against cold nowadays. And one reason well protected let's give grandfather full credit-is precisely because so many grandfathers and grandmothers put up with great privatons. building the civilization we enjoy Some day doubt, there will be other genera tons to marvel at the stoicism which We exhibited in 1888.

He Walked on Eggs
CNew York World-Telegram,


 Now that the bloody typhoon has swept inland from the China coast perhaps it would not be amiss to say word in praise of skipper who rode out the storm with credit to himself and his servce-Admiral Harry E. Yarnell commander in chief of our Asatic Fleet.
 Taking over the command in October 1886 Ad- mira Yarnell the spot when the Sino- Japanese conflict began. Throughout the entire siege at Shanp hal he lived under fire His flagship the Augusta anchored in the Whangpoo struck by shell which killed two and wounded seventeen of his men
 His was the trying job of getting Americans out Of the war zone. He responsible for the conduct of American sailors and marines during dangerous and highly provocative times Refugees were sprayed With shrapnel by careless indifferent gunners BomDers raned death on native and foreign civilians among them many women and children of the port War-drunk Japanese hauled down American flags and there were reports that of the flags had been Hung into the river. detachment attempted to take over section of Shanghai held by the marines Then there was the Panay affar-when one of the Admrals own warships and three other American vessels were sunk by Japanese bobers in the Yanotze
 Incident followed incident as the weeks went by The air was thick with menace A single lnissteo on the part o the Admiral or his might have brought about catastrophe. Yet he and they came through without single black mark to their discredit Quite the contrary. For months on end they walked on eggs without cracking she'll
 It was no easy feat For every inch We ceded in China the Japanese were prepared to take an ell Faulty communications and quick moving events often made 1t necessary to act first and get permission after ward.

No Charlie McCarthys
(Cleveland Plain Dealerl

tCleVeland Plain Deaer)
 American book publishers stand on their own feet Behind them looms the Bill of Rights They are not Charlie McCarthys for any bureaucracy or faction. gram, for AS of them have signed statement an- international congress of book publishers this year in Leipzig Germany under the sponsorship Of Propa- ganda Minister Joseph Goebbes
 With Germany keeping strangle hold on the newspaper and magazine press the radio movies and the theater; in country where the publisher must submit his manuscript to government flnc- tionary the congress in Leipzig say the publishers will be display of ventriloqusm the publishing trade will be the puppet but the voice will be the voice of the German bureaucracy
 In regimented state where the works of some of the greatest authors of the past and the present have been consigned to public bonfires, the meeting of a publishers congress seems incongruous Not only has political thought under the ban of the Nazi regime, but science and culture in general have been perverted to political ends History which it is the publishers business to record has been twisted out of all recognition The last straw was the demand of the German section of the congress that an international censorship agreement be con- cluded to protect the heads of states Hans Dieck- hoff German ambassador to the United States re- gently received unambiguous answer on that issue from Secretary Hull. The publishers echo Huns words
 Commendable the book publishers reasons for absenting themselves from the meeting We cannot, in courtesy give voice to beliefs at a meeting in Germany, they say, nor we humiliate ourselves by going there and keeping silent about them" All democrats will second their motives and their action There be no semblance of liberty where the press is run by puppets,

Confidence and Customers
Philadelphia Record)

Business talks about confidence, but what it reeds is customers It only have customers if the little fellow at the bottom enough confidence and feel ing of security that he is willing to buy. Confidence must be instilled at the bottom if it is to be nsted at all. Any belief that confidence can seep down from the top suicidal the Hoover theory that prosperity seeps down from the top.
 How there be confidence when close to 100000 WP.A workers are on the street and when at least 100000 other heads of familes-their rela- tivesfnd it necessary to pinch and scrape to save the 100000 from hunger? How can budget-balancing give the men at the top confidence when it exiles 6,0000o0 families at the bottom from the stores and the market-places?

HIT At PRO TA|NT
IN COLLEGE RING
Rules Makers Would Bar
All Having Other Than
School Experience.

The nine-man Boxing Rules Com.
mittee Of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association begins . four.
day session at Annapolis today, con-
cerned with finding ways and means
Of making the ring sport safer for
college athletes participating and at
the same time more interesting from
a spectators standpoint.
Chief point for discussion will be
the eligibility regulations, as the rule
makers seek to remove all taint Of
professionalism from undergraduate
leather-pushing ranks At a round
table discussion last night at the Ma
tional Press Club three members of
the committee, L. F. (Crip) Toomey,
California Agriculture College and
representing nine Pacific Coast States;
Tom Carruthers, University of Vir-
ginia, and Comdr. o. o. Kessing,
United States Naval Academy, out
lined to representatives Of the local
press just what the group hopes to do
along that line.
Want to Protect Boys.
As spokesman for those present
Toomey said their first concern was
protection of the boys taking part
In the sport. To this end they are
sponsoring an eligibility rule which
would open competition only to those
who had received their previous boz
ing experience in high school, prep
school or college. This would elimi-
nate any who had taken part in A.
A. u, Golden Gloves, Diamond Belt
or similar tournaments or contests.
1t would be unfair to the boys, he
said, to send them into the ring
against experienced men who are
professionals in everything but name.
They would be unevenly matched,
they would stand the danger Of seri-
ously being injured. and the contest
would be too one-sided. Such rule
has been in effect on the Pacific
Coast for the past year, he said, and
had resulted in better matches and
fewer injuries to those participating.
If such a rule is not adopted, he
predicted that continued injuries and
mis-matched bouts would do such
harm to college boxing that public
sentiment would force it to become
an inter-mural sport only.

ing bags-and this includes Camera
and Baer. They offered no pretense
in the way of offense.
Schmeling is the best conditioned
athlete I've seen in years. but not
the greatest heavyweight. He is dead
game, determined. confident, expert
enced. with blasting right hand,
the same right hand that almost mur-
dered Johnny Risko and Joe Louis.
Joe's Defense Still OF.
The one thing that Louis should
have developed in the last two years
is a defense against sharp, accurate
right. And, in the last two years,
Louis has made no advance of any
sort in this direction. In this re-
spect Louis in 1888 is exactly where
he was in 1886, when Schmeling
whistled those hammering rights
above a left-hand defense that was
at least a foot too low.
Considering all these factors, it is
my belief that schmeling is still an
even-money choice-not 1-to-2
shortender as the public fancy has
made him.
