ton however arises from the fac,
that some of the managers are

usal to submit the scores of their

1t was decided that the stand
ings would be computed from the
scores that were available due to
the fact that time was running
short and the playoff series would
have to get under way as soon
as possible.

rection which the respective gos-
ernments desire. .......
Our government is at'it full blast
and our efforts to influence other
governments and other peoples may
to us seem entirely proper. In 50
doing our officials are also striving
to influence public opinion at home
and it does succeed because the
Government has the upper hand.
This is time when our people
must think clearly and freely and
not allow their opinions to be formed
by government spokesmen. When
they say something it does not nee
essariiy follow that the public has
the complete facts.
1t is not the purpose Of the writer
to arouse suspicion among the peo-
| pie but there appears to be definite
planning among the wise boys"
close to the White House who be-
lieve that the war will serve their
purpose. ,...... .....
Some Of these New Dealers are
already waxing enthusiastic over
what they feel is an opportunity in
the war crisis to press for new ma
tional planning and control. There
| will be constant skillful and subtle
efforts to propagate sentiment in the
United States which will serve the
purpose of the Administration.
1t must be kept in mind that our
Government can get us into the war
and probably can develope public
sentiment to support any goal they
may have by making the most Of
incidents which occur.

saturday, october i.
There will be an unusually large
number of nominations because the
ed District is entitled to three va
caneies at Annapolis and one va
eancy at West Point in 1910. This
permits naming three principals and
IL alternates for the Naval Academy
And ono principal and two alter
mates for the Military Academy.
Candidates must present them
selves at 900 am. at the post office
buildings in the respective county
seats and as many as possible should
have letter of permission, although
this is not absolutely necessary.
In event the local examiner does
not have sufficient number of papers
those boys with letters from your
Representative will naturally be
given preference.
IXITH the invoking of the Neu-
w trality Act some way will still
be found to help England and
France, probably through Canada.
I'm defeating the intent OF the act.
ways will be found to surmount
technicalities which arise. This seems
10 be the general impression among
those who should know what is be-
ing planned by inner circles in
Washington.
A ADMINISTRATIONS supporters
"A are working hard to build up
sentiment for inclusion of a cash
and carry clause in the Neutrality
Act to permit selling to belligerents
on that basis. Reports drifting into
the Capital indicate that opponents
are maintaining their position. When
public sentiment is so shaped as to
serve the Administration purpose
1t is likely that a special session Of
Congress will be called.
DROPAGANDA will play a ma.
i jor part in the present war.
Every nation, including our own, is
devoting great deal of time and
effort to this field. Through the

propagandizing other nations and
there is a skillfully planned effort in
each instance to arouse sympathy

Stevens Engine First to
Pull a Train on a Track

Three dates are important in the
history of the steam locomotive. On
October %, 1924, the first steam To-
connective that actually pulled train
on a track, that built by John Ste
vens, was run on circular track
on his estate at Hoboken, says q
writer in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The first locomotive for railroad
use was the "Stourbridge Lion, .
which was built by the George Ste.
phenson works upon the Tyne river
in England. Horatio Allen was sent
to England by the Delaware & Hud-
son Railroad company to buy it.
The engine travelled at the speed OF
10 miles an hour. Its first run In
the United States was ON August 9,
1929, on the tracks of the Delaware
& Hudson between Carbonate and
Honesdale, the canal terminus ir
Pennsylvania.
The TON Thumb" designed by
Peter Cooper, was the first locomo.
tive built in the United States tc
draw passengers. On August %
1880, it carried rs passengers L
miles over the tracks of the Balti
more g. Ohio in hour and Is min
utes. !.

Australian Opossums Beautiful

Among the most beautiful animals
of the Australian 4sbush" are many
species of opossums. Some kinds
are richly furred and as conse-
quence millions of them have been
caught by trappers. The most priced
are the silver-grays, and pelts from
these animals make beautiful fur
coats. Opossums are protected in
most Of the states, but occasionally
they become pests to farmers and
fruit-growers, and then an open sea
son is declared. They sleep in the
trees of the forests during the day
time and come out to feed at night.
Australia, sometimes called the
4'Topsy-Turvy continent" is differ
ent," more especially in its fora and
fauna. In this geologically ancient
continent, remarkable animals have
survived, animals which provide liv-
ing links with prehistoric times.
