Umpire batting seems to have become the favorite indoor sport of great many fans and it's nice work when you can get it. I agree with the Old Fan that umpires are legitimate prey at any ball game-a natural Patsy" for players and fans alike.
 Right now Nevin, the new ump seems to be the recipient of most of the old "Razz-ma- -tazz".
 The ability and willingness to dish it out carries with it the natural inference that the dish erouters" can also take it."
 All good disher-outers are not so constituted it seems. Nevin has always been ready, willing, and able to hand out the razz and now he has golden opportun- ity to demonstrate to us his ab- ility to take it''. We shall see, and in the meantime here's to bigger and better pop-bottles.

WILL HE KEEP US OUT?
(RiVerSide Press }

Whom Republicans will nominate for
President and president when they
gather in Philadelphia for their national
convention next week, will not be known
until the count of the final ballot.
There is one thing, however, which
should be known before the convention
is called to order and a vote taken. That
is that the great majority of American
voters are going TO vote against any can
didate of whom they are suspicious on
his war program. If he favors our fur
nishing the allies with men as we'll as
materials, he may rs we'll fold up his
aspirations and go way back and sit
down.
The Interpretation placed on President
ROOsevelts answer to Premier Reynaud
of France by many both here and abroad
has placed Mr. Roosevelt in an embar
RAISING political diplomatic position.
Whether he wants to or not he will be
forced to positively declare himself one
way or the other in the matter of Amer
lean intervention and such a declara-
ton will without a doubt make or UNI
make him if he has third term aspira-
tons, as many believe he has.
However, if he is going to seek third
term, or even if he desires to name his
that he express himself definitely and
irrevocably on intervention. The battle
cry will not be as IN the Wilson cam
paign, "He kept us out of war" The
question will be asked will he keep u.s. out
of war after the November election. If
he keeps silence during the election cam
paign, voters will assume he will make
no promise because his intentions are to
send this country into war or at least
to do what he can to influence congress
to do that.
There is no doubt Republican candidates
will be subj ected to the same close scruti-
ny. The American voters will want to
know in a way which cannot be misun-
derstood the intentions and the desires
of the candidates for President and vice
president, yes. and even the candidates
for congress,

AND ALL OTHER
SPENDING TOO?
(Wall Street JOurnaD

Praising his ever-normal granary
scheme as a practically perfect means
of assuring the farmers welfare and
the consumers comfort, Secretary Wal
lace in ahe same breath announces that
proposals Will soon be laid before the
President for disposing of the surplus
stocks it has created. Just what these
proposals will be Mr.. Wallace did not
say but this newspapers Washington
bureau offers the Surmise that The
mechanism to be suggested probably will
be an expansion of present surplus re-
moval programs on a very large scale
If that forecast proves correct, the pro-
poSals will very likely include one or
both of the following measures:
l. A large additional appropriation for
the food stamp plan of giving away food
at home.
,. More and larger appropriations for
export subsidies paying foreigners a
bonus for buying here at the prices we
have indirectly pegged for farm prod
uctS.
So, the ever-normal granary scheme
means that the government buys up large
portions of the farmers crops to bolster
his prices and then gives away much of
what it purchases. SO, Representative
O'Brien of New York offers bill direct
ing Mr.. Wallace to match, dollar for dol
lar all food purchases made in this
country by the Allies and turn his ac-
QUESTIONS over to those purchasers as
free gifts.

1t is the fashion right now to go
back to the World War experience
to show how Fifth Column" activl-
ties were prevalent even then, and
t3 draw from this warning for
TO-DAY.
That is right enough, but we
ought not to forget the lesson
craven on the other side of that
coin. That is the fact that when the
showdown came and war was &C
tually declared. The overwhelming
majority OF Americans of German
descent flock"d into the ranks with
all other Americans and served this
country we'll and faithfully.
So today the action of the Sons
of Italy in Ohio is beacon light
of loyalty. Through Raymond A
Boccia. grand venerable, letter has
been issued, saying that the mem
bers Of that order are stunned by
Italy's declaration of war, but that
we as Americans stand ready
shoulder to shoulder with other
Americans in assuming the respon-
sibility of upholding annd safe
guarding our form of government.
For American citizens who take
this attitude. no matter what the
country of their origin, other AM
orleans should have respect and
brotherlv hand of welcome in every
activity of our great American So
ciety. For it is of such loyalty from
all conditions and groups OF men
that America is made. 1t Is from
such loyalty that she draws her

; HOW" SEW .vs ss: sssrH

THERE were two of these old
L brentwood chairs - both with
cane seats gone and a badly
SCARED varnish finish. "Get them
out of my sight" their owner
said, 81 can't stand the thought of
wood bent and forced into unnat-
ural curves" In the end she did
get them out of sight and used
them too. The trick was done
with slip covers made, as shown
here.
The one you see in the sketch
became a side chair for the living
room dressed in richly colored
cretonne in soft red and blue
green tones with deep wine bind
ings. The legs of the chair were
sandpapered and stained mahoga-
ny to tone in with the cover. The
cane seat was inexpensively re-
paired with ready made seat of
plywood reshaped to fit by first
cutting a paper pattern to fit the
seat of the chair and then using
the pattern as a guide as indi-
Gated here. Next week will show
you how the other one of these
old chairs was used.
