GET COACHED BY
STARS AT FAIR
By DILLON GRAHAM
AP Feature Service Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Dad and
Nom will like it, too, but Little
Johnny is the chap who'll get the
biggest kick out of the New York
World Fairs Academy of Sport.
The sport show is being directed
primarily at the kids. Many Will
come from out of the way towns
where national sport figures are
never seen. Their big thrill will
come from meeting tn e 81 stars
they've heard about And they'll get
tips on how to play their favorite
game.
Almost every day some sports ace
will be at the Academy of Sport.
Twice a week there1l be an hour
lesson on football or baseball or
track or boxing.
ANY youngster who attends one OF
these classes will receive student
sports card. 1t will say that he has
attended class taught by Babe
And it will bear not only his name
And it viii bear not only his name
but also the autograph of his in
structor.
And for the boy who lives near
enough to come to 10 of these classes
there1l be a handsome Certificate
of Sport, suitable for framing, and
signed by several sport figures.
The Faculty
Bill Terry, Joe Mccarthy, Hank
Greenberg and Jimmy Foxx are
others who'll conduct baseball class
es. Jimmy Crowley Nal Stevens.
Lou Little, Pop Warner and Benny
Friedman will coach football. Jack
Dempsey, Gene Tunney, Joe Louis,
and Jim Braddock are among the
boxing instructors. And track tips
will be given by Lawson Robertson,
Dean Cromwell and Dink Temple
ton.
These classes will be held in the
Court of Sports. outside the Acad-
envy of Sports building. Flags OF
famous sport teams or clubs Will
fly from poles surrounding the court.
Inside the Academy therell be
fine collection of sports trophies.
Christy Walsh, director OF sports,
plans to have for display the Davis
and Wightman cups of tennis, the
Walker and Ryder cups OF COLL, the
Vanderbilt cup of automobile racing,
the heavyweight boxing belt, the
Americas cup Of yact racing, Babe
Ruth's famous Yankee uniform with
the No. 3 on the back of the shirt,
the little Brown jug of Michigan
and Minnesota grid rivalry, the
Sugar Bowl trophy. the Yale fence
on which Eli sport captains have sat
for pictures for many years, and the
Diamond Souls.
Baseball Show
Inside also will be exhibits by
many sports associations. Commits
sioner Lands is considering an ex-
hibit for baseball Arrangements
are available for the major leagues
to show their baseball movies. 1t is
particularly timely for baseball in
view of the games Tooth anniversary
celebration this year at Cooperstown,
NY.
Although there will be no actual
sports competition on the fair
grounds, many sporting events will
be held in the New York area dur
ing the fair. There'll probably be
major golf championship, a col
legiate regatta, baseball's All-Star
game "a World Series tif the Giants
or Yankees VIM and perhaps a
heavyweight prize fight.

GENIUS AND THE BIRTH RATE

Many Sociologists have bemoaned the
fact that the birth rate, among healthy
and intelligent couples, is much lower than
among people who occupy lower CLASH
fication along these two lines.
That the poorer, uneducated and less
healthy portion of our population is pre-
senting the nation with most of it's chill
dren and that the so-called more priv
LEGGED group is apparently regulating the
size of the family by economic factors is,
we think, too apparent for argument
One thing, however, should be borne
in mind. So far as we know, there is no
known method of determining where
genius originates and, often, from unfa-
vored and unprepossessing parents the
race is presented with great sons and
daughters. Saying this much is not deny
ing the law of averages, which insists upon
asserting itself, and makes more probable
the gift of superiority to those infants
blessed with fortunate parents.
Given a number of children, the re-
public through the schools and other demo-
cratic processes, can develop good citizens.
The larger the percentage of boys and
girls that bless the homes of humble and
impoverished parents, the greater the
obligation upon government and society
to give them a chance to develop for
themselves. With proper educational ad
vantages and equal economic opportunity
there is no telling where any boy, or girl,
may go in land of liberty, freedom and
justice.

THE RUSSIAN INVASION OF POLAND

The march of the Russian armies into
Poland did not finish the Poles; as fight
ing nation they were already finished.
The savage German attack, using to
the full mechanical units that thwarted
Polish mobilization and defenses, had
about completely disposed of Poland be-
fore Stains men crossed the border.
The condemnation of Russia, if she
is condemned, must be based entirely up
on the Soviet's action before Hitler dared
to attack Poland. With full knowledge
that Mussolini was not ready to fight with
him, the German Fuehrer would not have
precipitated the present struggle without
a definite understanding with the rulers of
Russia.
Stains willingness to make peace
with Hitler and to agree upon definite
spheres of interest in Poland and, perhaps,
other European areas, paved the way for
German aggression. Had Hitler been I'M
certain Of Stains attitude he would not
have attacked the Poles.
If the German attack upon Poland
had not been encouraged by Russia, we
would not blame the Soviet for occupying
parts of Poland that formerly belonged to
Russia. In such an event, it would be
merely question whether Germany or
Russia acquired the territory. Having in
stigated the Hitler attack and being ready
to grab her share of the spoils, the Russian
government must bear equal blame with
Germany for the destruction of Poland.

TWICE AS DANGEROUS AT NIGHT

Investigation of traffic accidents
leads to the conclusion that night travel
is at least twice as dangerous as daytime
travel
1t seems certain that one of the con-
tributing factors to this increased danger
involves the lighting facilities Of modern
automobiles. Sometimes the accident is
caused by inadequate light on the high
way, and, at other times, by excessive
glare which blinds the drivers of APP
preaching vehicles. In either case, acci-
dents are more likely to occur.
The automobile manufacturers have
made great contributions to transportation
'in the development of fine motor cars. It
is about time for them to give more seri-
Gus consideration to the development of an
adequate and safe method of providing
light for automobile drivers
Automobile drivers in Key West, who
find themselves on the highways after
dark, can contribute to the safety of pedes-
TRANS and riders by observing the ordinary
rules of good manners. For example, one
driving an automobile with its beaming
headlights can show regard for others
by promptly dimming them upon meeting
another vehicle. The failure to do this
simple thing often causes a wreck, in
volving the careless driver, and, at times,
prevents another driver from seeing a
pedestrian or obstacle in his path.

dia, Persia and Arabia, respec-
lively. Having seen a strange
star they were led to seek the
new Savior. In 1904 the great
astronomer Kepler saw the plan
cts Jupiter and Saturn in con-
junction. and shortly afterward a
bright star burst forth in the
constellation of the Serpent. Cal
culations show that just before
the birth of Jesus these same
two planets were in conjunction.
Having found the new King,
with the aid of Herod, the wise
men presented him with their
gifts but, warned by a dream,
they would not return to tell the
wicked Herod where they found
him. Herod had oppressed the
Jews and was fearful of opposi-
ton, SO he sought to kill this
possible rival. AS a result, the
holy family fled into Egypt,
where tradition says they joined
other Jewish refugees near Cairo,
and stayed for something over a
year and only returned TO Pales-
tine upon Herod's death. How
ever, because they feared Archie
laus, Hercd's son, they did not
stop in the territory ruled by
him but continued on and settled
in Nazareth in Galilee, where Je-
sus spent his early life.

In these times of great stress, Arch
bishop Spellman's direction to his clergy to
use the prayer PRO Pace" has deep sig
nificance. The prayer was written by
Pope Gelasius, about A. D. 494, when the
old world was in worse shape, politically,
than it is today. 1t was in the days of At
tia, Alaric, Generic and Hunnerie, under
whose leadership the oppressed people
Jared worse than under the relationships of
Hitler, Mussolini and Stain. Hunneric,
for instance, at Carthage, ordered all
churches closed in one day and all church
property handed over to the Arians, and
forbade anyone to give them food or lodg-
ing on pain of being burnt with his house
and family,

Matthew's Book was written
primarily for Jews and it is said
to have been inspired by the fact
that he was leaving Palestine
after fifteen years service. The
Book is not arranged chronology
ically but the content is grouped
according to the topic References
to Old Testament prophecy are
numerous, the author pointing
out the fulfillment thereof in Je-
sus. The book is noteworthy be-
cause approximately half of it is
devoted to quoting the teaching
of Jesus, including five of his
addresses, the most familiar one
being the famed Sermon on the
Mount.
Matthews gives us a genealogy
for Jesus carrying us back to
David and Abraham, not to
Adam as Like does, tracing the
descent through the line of Jo-
seph. 1t is interesting to note
that, included in this descent
there appear four women, OF
whom two were of heather an
cestry and birth, and three rose
to spiritual eminence after having
grievously Sinned.
1t is also interesting to note
that while Matthew's Gospel was
written primarily for the Jewish
people ana shows much research
and study in connecting the an
cient prophetical utterances with
the life Of Jesus, it does not con-
fine his teachings and ministry
to that race alone. The closing
verses of Matthew's Gospel con-
tains the Great Commission as
given by the Savior himself to
his disciples that they go out to
all people.
Our attention is directed in
this opening lesson to the visit
of the wise men to the infant
Jesus. Tradition numbers these
astrologers and philosophers of
their day as being three, some
adding that they were from In
