upon the earth for our preservation
as race. Still there is not an ade-
quate endowment for the complete,
incessant, uninterrupted study Of
the earth.
1t really does not quite make sense.
Here is a natural laboratory, situate
upon the edge Of the greatest vol
canic crater in the world, within a
few steps of the most tremendous
cauldron Of molten earth-matter-
and the researches and studies and
observations Of this vast manifesto
tion of earth-making are conducted
within a wooden structure that is
little better than a shanty. The
priceless records of observation con-
Quoted through many years, upon
which this study depends, are stored
In a place that may be DESTROYED
any night through the agency Of a
carelessly dropped cigarette or
match. The place is so small that
the technicians are jostled by one
another's elbows. Tourists scramble
about among the delicate tools of
study and recording, asking foolish,
inane, wise-cracking questions. And
this is a laboratory that Uncle Sam
provides for study that is possible
nowhere else in this unstable world
of ours!
Assuredly, there is need of a little
more attention to this matter of
Pe!e's doings. 1t might not be a
bad idea to send a Congressional
investigating committee out here
to see how poorly our frontier is
guarded against the wrath of the
goddess. Such inquiries have been
made by Congress in far less i'm
portant fields.

Liftin Hurt, Dell '0rto
To Take on Ricco
In Ring Here

Vince Dell 'Orto, Italian feather
weight, will supplant Nat Liftin of
New York in an eight-round bout
tomorrow night at Turner's Arena
due to an injury to Liftin suffered
yesterday when mauling a sandbag.
Liftin, completing training for his
scrap with Tommy Ricco of Camden,
N. j., was injured when a heavy
chain supporting the bag broke,
gashing his head.
Henry Armstrong, world light
weight and welterweight champion,
will be featured on the card in a
four-round exhibition against three
opponents. Henry will perform to-
night at Baltimore and complete the
lengthy exhibition tour Friday night
at West Palm Beach. He then will
take brief rest before clashing
with Bobby Pacho at Havana March
5 in defending his welterweight
crown.
Another eight-rounder lists Toby
Tobias facing Charley Gilley, while
in six-rounders Augie Flowers will
meet frankie Wills and Woody
Buchanan will collide with Irish

Harrison Gets Lead
For vardon Prize
In Texas Win
Victor With 271 Score,
Dutch Runs His Golf
Earnings to $500

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 13.-
Lean e. ]. iDutch) Harrison, an
amazing new character in the pro-
fessionals' winter golf swing, not
only caressed some $1,000 in prize
money today, but also threatened to
win the coveted Harry Vardon
Memorial Trophy as the outstanding
competitive player.
The long-legged Arkansas boy quit
caddying only few years back to
make more money playing the game.
Yesterday he won the Texas open
championship after dipping 13
strokes below par to score a spec
tacular 271 for 70 holes and beat the
fastest field of the tour.
First figures on the P. G. A. VAR
don Memorial Trophy race show
Harrison, also winner of the Bing
Crosby open and loser of the Oak
land open in playoff to Dick Metz,
far out in front. His 88 points topped
Metzs second-place 10.
Harrison, who threw in a couple
of 66s in smashing the old Texas
open record by six strokes, packed
his loose, easy game and headed for
New Orleans and the $4,000 Cres-
cent City open, starting Thursday.
His money winnings since January
l total $3,6Ol 50-and only a few
years back he was carrying bags
around a Dallas course for 81 q
round
Four shots behind after the open
ing round, despite a So, Harrison
trudged back with 66-66-7l and
was two shots in front of Sammy
Byrd of Philadelphia, the former
New York Yankee outfielder, at the
finish.
Byrd slashed around Breckenridge
Parks 36-35-7l course in 69-67
the last two rounds.
Byron Nelson of Reading, Pa, blew
his chances on the 18th hole when,
one stroke behind Harrison, he shot
into the river and took a bad six on
par hole. He finished third with

A short time ago Honolulu was
greatly agitated by a report that an
earthquake of large proportions
or dimensions, or whatever may be
the correct term for seismic severity
had occurred somewhere on or of
the coast of Alaska, and that in
consequence of this disturbance a
tidal wave would probably hit
Hawaii in few hours. There was
no panic, precisely speaking, but
folks talked about going up on the
hills for safety, not merely the
malihinis, or new comers, but the
| kamaainas, or old timers. They
were really frightened. Not that
earthquakes are common in the
islands generally, for save on the
big island named Hawaii there
have been no disturbances of the
crust for many, many years.
But tidal wave was something
else than an earthquake. A great
one, such as the imagination of the
timid folks suggested the other day,
would do tremendous damage, espe-
cially If 1t should hit Honolulu from
the south. So the telephones were
kept busy and the newspaper offices
were flooded with calls. And some
one phoned over to the "big island

the rubber and begins to fire the
mob presses to the sidelines, showing
a fine disregard for the pitches of
the other hurlers who are warming
up six and seven deep. When Ortiz
finishes they stand to watch Kra-
kauskas, Chase and the others.
Merely because they have strong
arms and fast balls does not neces-
sarily mean all of the fireballers will
stick. Anderson, the 6-foot 4-inch
righthander from Iowa, probably
will be farmed out again for further
seasoning. The same holds for
Garner, who is 6 feet 7 inches tall.
For the rest their fast balls may
mean their salvation. Chase is the
only pitcher of the group who has
a curve ball as good as his fast one.
krakky's curve is as much of
'let-up ball" as anything else. Mas
terson's chief reliance is the high,
hard one, and so far Ortiz has not
been permitted to throw his curve,
if any.
The enthusiasm of Harris and
Griffith is easily understood. The
Mats, you see, haven't had a pitcher
with real fast ball since Buck
Newsom was traded away. Monte
Weaver changed from a fast baller
to curve ball pitcher when he
began to acquire a middle-aged mel
loWness. Harry Kelley and Dutch
Leonard are knuckle-ball pitchers.
Pete Appleton's curve is one of the
best in the business and as often as
not he wastes his fast one. Jimmy
De Shong had fast ball when he
first came from the Yanks in 1896,
but he lost some of his speed in
1887 and more of it last season.
HOW much the new crop of speed
balls will help the Washington club
is a matter of conjecture, but the
possibilities are interesting. Night
baseball will come into the American
League for the first time this year,
with Cleveland and Philadelphia
playing under lights. The Mats un-
doubtedly will play few after dark.
The Indians, who will play seven
games, undoubtedly will use Bob
Feller in majority of these. Con-
ME Mack will shoot his fastest hurl-
ers at the enemy at night. It's only
natural that Griffith and Harris are
on the lookout for q little "umph"
In their own pitchers and that when
they see It they tell the world.

Tie With Skibos
G. w., Score Leader Here
On Rough Tour; Terps
: Go to Dixie Tourney
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

Undisputed leadership of the
Eastern Conference and swapping
the winning streak of the undefeated
Loyola of Chicago quint will be the
respective aims of Georgetown and
George Washington tonight as they
open the weeks activity for local
college basketers on out-of-town
floors.
The Hoyas, again boasting of the
best average of the Districts major
, fves after temporarily slipping be-
hind Maryland and G. w.. can grab
hrst place in the Conference by beat
ing Pittsburgh in the Smoky City.
Currently, both Georgetown and
Carnegie Tech are deadlocked for
first, each having won four games
in five starts, but the Skibos do not
play again until they meet the
Hoyas here on Thursday night.
Pitt, however, was the team to beat
Carnegie, and for that reason-and
also that it will be playing on its
own f1oor-must be considered a
slight favorite to beat the Hoyas,
although it has lost three of its five
conference games.
Tough Going for G. w.
G. w., with its Bob Faris still
maintaining the front-running posi-
ton as the Districts leading scorer
both on total points and average,
has its work cut out for it not only
tonight, but the next three nights.
After meeting Snow White" Novak
and his Loyola team, which has won
. 16 consecutive games this season and
has been undefeated in it's last %
games on its home floor, the Colo
mails move against Wayne at De-
troit tomorrow night and Bradley
Tech at Peoria on Wednesday.
AS the week started. G. WIS rec
ord was one victory only short of be-
ing as good as Georgetown's. but the
odds seem to be against the Buff and
the Blue coming home even in it's
runner-up position. If the Colonials
~drop even one of their three games
their percentage may drop below
that of Maryland's.
The Terps, incidentally-the only
team to play two games at home
this week-defnitely have clinched
berth in the Southern Conference
tournament which starts March 2.
Winner of seven of its nine confer
ence starts. Maryland is the only
team other than Wake Forest which
is sure to play in the tourney, al
though Davidson needs to win but
one of its last six games to get a
ha lnfo
pion, has hard row to hoe if it
would get into the title series, need
ing four victories in it's five remain
ing games.
Colonials Top Scorers.
Up-to-date statistics of the major
local flves reveal George Washing
ton still packing the greatest scor-
Ing punch with its total of 653
points in IA games, far exceeding
Georgetown and Maryland, who
have played one more game each.
That 653 figure breaks down into
an average of 46 points per game,
stamping the Colonials as the only
team in town with better than
point minute pace.
The race for individual honors
continues hot, but whereas Mary
lands George De Witt has scored
only 6 less points than Faris, he
has played two more games. Faris'
12.15-point average still is points
better than De Wits and nearly 2
points better than c. us Wayne
Ambrose, the courtman with the
second best average.

Frankly Speaking
BY PAT FRANK

Nothing much was said about
it in the general press, but the
testimony of a young, dark-haired
University of Washington stud
ent-name Richard FOrbes-befOre
the Dies Committee may yet
bounce back to smack Fritz Kuhn
and his NaZi Bund. The F. b. l.,
with whom Forbes cOOperated as
he pretended to be a Bundster,
followed his activities closely and
by the time this is read, may al
ready have struck at the anti
American activities of the Bund
on the West coast.
One of the things that i'm
pressed this reporter was the calm.
dispassionate way in which Forbes
outlined how the Bund attempted
to influence American opinion.
For instance, they gave the uni
yersity senior the job of filling
the vox pop columns of the news
papers with pro-German letters"
And if this isn't propaganda that
comes under the registration act,
what is?
Here in Washington, the Times
Herald, owned by Eleanor Patter-
son, whose brother is Joe Patter-
son, proprietor of the New York
Daily News, and whose kinfOlk
control the Chicago Tribune, had
a strange experience with vOx
pop letters. A woman signing
herself Frieda Hoffman filled the
editorial page of her paper with
letters praising Hitler and all his
works. Pretty soon other letters
begin to filter in. They were &C
cOmpanied by dollar bills and
money orders. They offered to
pay Frieda's passage back to
Germany.

Vocational Training Is Aid
In Overcoming Anti-Jewish
Bias In Job Market

WASHINGTON, D. C.-That the
young Jew or Jewess in the United
States who has enjoyed the bene-
fit of vocational guidance before
entering upon life's work can find
in such training a considerable
compensation for discrimination in
the employment market is the
assertion made in "How to Plan
Your Life-Work" a new 5O-page
illustrated pamphlet published by
the B'nai Birth Vocational Service
Bureau and written by ]. Anthony
Humphreys, director of personnel
service of the Woodrow Wilson
Junior College, Chicago.
The value of vocational counsel
ing in counteracting discrinina-
ton is stressed in the chapter on
"Some Problems of Jewish Youth" ,
which was prepared by Max F.
Baer, director of the Vocational
Service Bureau. Mr.. Baer points
out that "the young man or wom-
an who is able to apply the prin-
ciples of career choice as suggest
ed in this booklet, who knows
where job opportunities are to be
found and who trains himself ac-
cordingly has a competitive adj
vantage in the job market. And
that may to great extent COM
pensate for discrimination"
The same chapter also urges
young Jewish people Ito think
twice before spurning" an oppor-
tunity in a successful trade or
business of a father or relative
"for what may be a precarious
existence in some profession. You
may be making a serious mistake
in allowing social prestige or in
flated hopes of attaining wealth
and glamour to lead you away
from opportunities that lie at your
doorstep"
The booklet contains chapters
on how to choose a career, what
to learn about occupations, what
to learn abotSc yourself, how to
relate analysis of occupation to
self analysis and brief introduce
ton to the economics of the job
market, all written simply and in
