Famous Sayings

Americans have spent the last
fortnight wondering how, where
and when the democratic ideal is
going to make an effective defense
against Fascism.
With all its imperfections, the
democratic way seems to us to
promise future in which somehow
mankind will be able to develop
its limitless potentialities, while Fas-
cism seems to offer precisely the
reverse. And it was with this con-
viction, even more than widespread
feeling of sympathy for Czechoslo-
vakia. which made so many Ameri-
cans heartsick over the things that
had been happening overseas.
But the defense of democracy is
a good deal like charity; that is, it
begins at home. And what happened
the other night in Hudson county,
N. j., is a fine illustration of the
fact.
In Hudson county the German
American Volksbund decided to
hold a rally. 1t was to be addressed
by Fritz Kuhn, the "fuehrer" of this
homegrown Nazi outfit. But when
the meeting started a mob descend
ed on the scene, threw stones and
vegetables, broke number of heads
and caused speedy and disorderly
adjournment.
Now nobody is going to grieve
very much over any misfortune
which befalls Herr Kuhn and the
Volksbund. The trouble is that this
misfortune didn't befall them; it be-
fell American democracy.
Socialist Norman Thomas has as
little love for Fascism as any man
in America; but Mr.. Thomas re-
marked that this mobbing of the
Volksbund lis doing more to pro-
mote Fascism in America than Fritz
Kuhn ever can do" And all of us
who are eager to preserve our DEM
ocracy must realize that Mr.. Thom-
as was dead right.
When you try to defeat Nazi bru-
tality by applying brutality of your
own, you are simply playing the
other fellows game. You are meet
ing him on his own ground, and by
doing SC you are confessing that in

Sneak Flight Over Ocean

DOUGLAS p. CORRIGAN, a
II young airplane motor expert
from California, couldn't get per-
mission from the air commerce bu-
reau to fly across the Atlantic, so
he started off secretly from Floyd
Bennett field, New York, and land
ed at Baldonnel, Ireland, % hours
and Is minutes later.
The remarkable feature of the
flight was that it was made in a
rickety old single-motored Curtiss
Robin plane that was not equipped
with navigation instruments, radio
or the ordinary safety devices. Cor
rigan did not even carry a para
chute.
Having neither flight permit, land
ing papers nor passport, Corrigan
llaughingly declared in Dublin that
he had intended to fly. back to Cali
fornia but set his magnetic compass
wrong and flew in the opposite di-
rection. His was the sixth west-east
solo flight across the Atlantic. In
the opposite direction only Mollison

Baseball Sloths

a RACE Of slow-footed, duil-wit-
- ted bali players will soon DOM
mate the national game IL the pres
emit emphasis ON smuggling continues,
according to Bill LANCE, who AZ
years ago stole 100 bases for the
Chicago Cubs and speeded his way
into diamond immortality.
''Modern ball players think too
much in terms of home runs and
not enough about base stealing"
LANCE declared. 1.-THE slugger has
supplanted the thinker in baseball.
Base stealing makes a player more
alert mentally. He has to try to
outguess the pitcher and the rest Of
the opposition, instead Of trying to
knock the ball out of the lot by
brute force.
"As a rule the superior base steal
er is also the brainier player. One
of your illustrations is Ty Cobb,
the greatest we ever had. He was
worth more to team than dozen
Babe Ruths."
It is an interesting coincidence
that LANCE, in his day regarded as
the outstanding player of the game
and the immortal Ty Cobb now are
neighboring country squires near
San Francisco, Calf. LANCE, now q
prosperous real estate operator
was a star for seven years, from 1893
to 1899. He quit the game in his
prime. LANCE was the last man to
steal as many as 100 bases. He
reached that peak in 1896, leading
the National league that year and in
1897.
Two men preceded and bettered
him in stolen bases. They were
John M. Ward of the New York
Giants with Ill in 1887 and Billy
Hamilton of Philadelphia with 102 in
1890 and the major league record
number of lis in 1891.

Classy Talent

Another scintillating recruit is Joe
(Flash) Gordon, second baseman of
the New York Yankees and regard
ed as about the classiest infelder
in the junior circuit. The Cleveland
Indians have Ken Keltner on third
base, who specializes in home runs
between shair-raising plays.
In the outfield there are such
young stalwarts as Sammy Chap
man, the Philadelphia Athletics
star rookie from the University Of
California, Enos Slaughter Of the
st. Louis Cardinals, and Hank Stein
bacher, who has been batting around
$50 for the Chicago White Sox.
Ranking next to Wander Nicer
among the young pitchers is Bob
Klinger, of the Pittsburgh Pirates,
who has had an earned-run average
of about two per nine-inning game
up to date. Bob is cousin of Char
lie Hollocher, one time Chicago
Cubs shortstop and one of the most
amazing felders in the history Of
the game.
Then there's Jim Bagby Jr., Of
the Boston Red Sox, who has shown
enough stuff to become a dependa-
BILE regular starter. Jim is the SON
of famous old Sergeant Jim Bagby
who was a S0-game-a-year winner
for the Cleveland Indians q couple
of decades ago. Tot Presnell has
helped the Brooklyn Dodgers make
things uncomfortable for other Ma
tional league teams this year and
has become about the most dependa-
BILE starter ON the club.

Details to cover the state allot-
ments on this 80 per cent reduction
basis are expected to result in pro-
tests in winter wheat areas where
the seeding will get under way this
fall, despite the minimum loan of
SO to go cents bushel announced
by the AAA in hope that stable
part of the 1888 crop will be kept on
the farms.
"The acreage allotment provided
for in the agricultural adjustment
act of 1888 puts into effect one more
phase of the general AAA wheat
program" Tolley said. 'Both this
acreage allotment and the wheat
loan are a part of the ever-normal
granary program. Loans in years
of surplus help farmers hold over
their surplus for years of shortage.
Acreage allotments keep the sur
plus within bounds and help main
tain prices and income Of farmers.
''This acreage allotment contem-
plates maintaining adequate sup
plies in this country for domestic
consumption, for our usual share of
the world export trade, and for ade-
quate reserves equal to 80 per cent
of a normal years domestic con-
sumption and exports"
The order placed the total avail
able supply for the current market
ing year at l,147, O0, 900 bushels, and
the normal supply" level, as pro-
vided for in the farm act, at 1866, 000,-

out until she hit the comeback

Helen has been a dominant figure

that for two years she was the girls

Insult Dies IN Paris

G AMUEL INSULT, one-time chief
~ Of an American public utilities
empire valued at many millions Of
dollars, fell dead in the subway in
Paris, France. Mrs. insult, the for
mer Gladys Wallis of the stage, was
there with him and she took the
body to London for. burial.
insult came to the United States
from England when twenty years of
age. After working for time with
Thomas A. Edison he went to Chi
cago and began building up his
great financial structure. In 1882
his personal fortune was estimated
at 100000, 600 and he owned or con-
trolled various big electric and gas
companies. Then the. depression
came and insult engaged in strug-
gle with eastern capitalists who
sought possession of his properties.
The great crash ensued in which the
insults and thousands of others lost
enormous sums. insult fled to Eu-
rope and was indicted on mail fraud
charges. He was arrested at Istan-
bull, Turkey and brought back for
trial but was acquitted.
Despite his financial mistakes and
misfortunes, insult was admittedly
one of the ablest organizers of pub
lie utilities the world has known.
Much of the financing of the corpo-
rations in his control was accom-
plished through holding companies
and investors for many years profit
ed handsomely by his success. He
was patron of the arts and deep
ly interested in agriculture.
