Z. S. First In South American Trade

for ASK marks" which can be re-
deemed only in the purchase of ex-
ports from Germany
This method of trade admittedly
has been damaging to American ex-
porters but they expect the men
ace to be short lived. This is be-
cause South American merchants
can swap" their exports for Ger
man manufactured articles Just
so long, and then they find all their
money tied up in washing ma
chimes, fence wire, trucks and trac-
tors. Soon the South American ma
ton can absorb no more of these
products, so the importer must
cease buying from Germany.
Germany has already begun to
feel the effect of this vicious circle
and is attempting to find new ways
of bolstering her declining foreign
exchange.
United States participation in
South American trade was negligi-
BILE until 1914, when Yankee traders
were welcomed into Brazil, Chile

Hitler forgotten it, if we may be-

making all the trouble for Germany.
He is too old and sick for such af-
fairs. 1t is Cardinal Pacelli, it is
Cardinal Pacelli!"
There is still another lesson in
the choice of papal diplomat. One
of the Catholic church's proudest
stories concerns the aforementioned
monk Hildebrand, last secretary of
state to become pope. AS Gregory
VII he, too, had trouble with Ger
man ruler. The last pope who felt
he must obtain imperial ratification
for his election, Gregory was
blocked by Germany's Emperor
Henry w. Gregory had demanded
that Henry cease dictatorial rule
over the Catholic church in Ger
many. Henry replied by summoning
several high German prelates and
declaring Gregory deposed.
Emperor Finally Absolved.
This game ended when Gregory
publicly absolved Henry's subjects
of allegiance to him. The climax
came when Gregory, stopping at the
castle of Canossa on his trip north
ward into Germany, kept Henry
waiting barefoot in the snow for
three days, dressed as a penitent.
Finally he granted absolution and
Henry's authority was restored.
Rome and Berlin may not be led
to Canossa by Plus XII, but this
modern counterpart of Gregory VII
includes both Italy and Germany
among his problems. A pope's chief
duty, naturally, is to maintain the
Catholic religion where it already
has root, and to evangelize it in
new lands. But this is an age where
extraordinary duties sometimes
seem more vital at the moment.
Catholics and Protestants alike rec
ognize their need for a united Chris

self as a library mouse" the new
pontiff has led more worldly life.
AS cardinal legate he travelled
through the United States and South
America. On the latter trip he did
penitence for the honors heaped on
his shoulders by removing the soft
mattress from his bed and sleeping
on the blanket-covered springs. Thus
he exhibited the spirit of humility
which Catholics believe becomes a
great Christian.
On his trip to the United States
he crossed the continent by air; he
thereby becomes the first pope to
have flown. At that time the new
pontiff lunched with President
Roosevelt and ''his truly American
family" So far as is known; no
previous pope has visited this coun-
try, and this-coupled with the re-
cent date of his visit-makes him
especially popular here.

Name "Hobo" Once Given
to the Migratory Worker

A "hobo" once was defined as a
migratory worker, a tramp, or one
who would work when he found an
opportunity. The name was applied
to the travelling and seasonal work
ers in the West. 1t originated short
ly before 1890 and there are a
number of possible explanations of
its origin, says a writer in the De-
troit News.
One is that the term arose from
the friendly salutation of the road,
''Ho, Boy" or Hello, Boy" Another
is that mail carriers on the Oregon
Shore Line railroad in the eighties
used to call fHo, boy when deliv-
ering mail. These mail carriers
came to be called Hoboys and later,
those travelling along the tracks but
not carrying mail were also called
HoboyS or HoboS.
Other derivations from 'Hoboken,
hautboy, hoe-boy, homo bonus,
homeward bound" as given in va
rious authorities seem far-fetched.
One authority's distinction between
the tramp bum and hobo was: 'The
hobo works and wanders, the tramp
dreams and wanders, the bum
drinks and wanders."

TIPS to

Give Flowers a Break

DON'T put an added burden on
your flowers by asking them
to grow in conditions to which
they are not suited. Flowers are
like races of humans. Some thrive
in warm, moist climates. Others,
through the centuries, have be-
come accustomed to intensive
cold.
Certain flowers, for instance,
may be grown successfully in
comparatively cool, semi-shaded
locations. If you have such spots
in your yard, don't plant your
zinnias or petunias there.
Any of the following viii prove
more satisfactory, according to
Harry A. Joy, flower expert: An
nuals = balsam, clarkia, coleus,
nasturtium, pansy, calendula and
vinca; perennials-English daisy,
campanula, columbine, myosotis,
sweet William and viola.
If you live in drouthy sections
or if your flower beds are on
well-drained soil in full sun, try
the following: Annuals-abronia,
ageratum, alyssum procumbens,
arctotis, calliopsis, candytuft,
cosmos, four o'clock, lupin texen-
sis, petunia, portulaca, sunfower,
verbena, and zinnia; perennials-
coreopsis and hollyhock.

players and the team I pick may
not necessarily be the best team Of
all. 1t is merely my idea of the best
team"
His infield includes Jimmy Foxx,
first base; Eddie Collins, second
base; Honus Wagner, shortstop, and
Jimmy Collins, third base.
Comics choice of outfielders: Iris
Speaker, Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb.
Christy Mathewson heads the LIST
of his pitching staff, supplemented
by Rube Waddell, Walter Johnson,
Jack Coombs, Lefty Grove and Chief
Bender.
To Connie Mack, Mickey Coch-
rane was the greatest catcher of all
time, followed by Bill Dickey. 9th
ers meriting place on his dream
team were Lou Gehrig, Al Sim
mons, Ed Delehanty, Amos Strunk,
Stuffy McInnis, and Joe Cronin.
Fifteen years ago this spring Phil
adelphia sports writer's were cam
paigning to get rid of Mack. 1t
was their contention that he was too
old, was behind the times, and a
detriment to the club.
Five years later the AS captured
the first of three straight pennants,
winning in 1929, 80 and 81. Mack's
team has annexed nine pennants
during his tenure of office, and has
won five world series.
The old master is credited as be-
ing the greatest developer of talent
in baseball's history. His name
brings to mind such players as Jim
my Dykes, Foxx, Eddie Plank and
Chief Bender. Eccentric RUDE Wad-
dell, who defed all rules of disci-
pine, was the bane of other man.
ayers. But he came through for
Mack, and delivered six years of
superb pitching.
On more than one occason Mack
has built up championship teams,
only to tear them apart after few
years of success and start a rebuild
ing process. He did it after the
world series of 1914, and a genera
ton later came through with three
successive pennant winners.
He isn't ready to retire. Despite
his rs years, he has his heart set
on winning one more pennant That
would write fms to long and sue
ceSSful career.

His Last Year?

1T DOESN'T take a particulars
close observer to note that Lou
Gehrig, one of the greatest first
basemen of all time and iron man
of baseball, will probably wind up
his big league career this season.
Larruping Lou is now So years old,
and even the toughest of men must
ultimately bow to time. He has been
circling the bases for the past I6
years, Ia of them with the Yankees.
He had run his string of consecutive
season games to 2,123 when the
Yankees finished last season, before
their third straight world series tri-
umph. 1t is one Of the greatest rec
ords in baseball history, and may
stand forever, as physical hazards
have increased with faster game.
Sure signs that the veteran was
slipping came last year when his
batting average dropped to .295, the
lowest it has ever been since 1925,
his first season with the Yanks.
Never had it gone below 300 since
his rookie year.
1t was then Outfielder Tommy
Heinrich started getting a bit of first
base practice, though not enough to
alarm Lou. Things are different
this season. Manager Mccarthy is
openly looking for a first base sue
cessor to Lou, and is in possession
of five such candidates. They are
Tommy Heinrich, Ed Levy, Fred
Coils, Ken Sears and Babe Dahl
gren.
Heinrich probably will replace
Gehrig for a time, but his lack of
smuggling ability will be against him.
The others will play with farm
teams, and in all likelihood a top
notch first sacker will emerge from
their ranks.
It won't be happy day when Iron
Man Lou misses his first complete
game. And it's not an easy task to
find man who can take the place
of the great Gehrig.

-Speaking of Sports
Mack, 70, Still
|Cagiest Pilot in
Major Leagues
By ROBERT McSHANE

THOUGH every sport boasts of at
= least a bakers dozen Grand
Old Men," basebalps one and only
dean of managers is Connie Mack,
76-year-old Irishman who began his
colorful diamond career back in
1886.
Connie Mack-abbreviation of Cor
nelius McGillicuddy-started catch
ing for Washington more than a
half century ago. His first job as
manager came in 1894 when he took
charge of the Pirates. After three
years he joined Milwaukee. In 1901
he went to Philadelphia as part own
er and manager of the Athletics,
and is the only manager that team
has ever had.
The brainiest, most articulate
manager of today, Connie has
picked an all-time all-star baseball
team, with the statement:
"There have been many great ball
