l0MBARDI FOOLS
THE CABBY GUY
bio Catcher Takes Sunday
Cut Instead Of Hitting
Double Play Ball

CINCINNATI, Aug. 31.-R-
m.nager Gabby Hartnett of the
c,;csso Cubs had some well-plan-
~ strategy blow up in his face
.odav as the Cincinnati Reds
Matched a S to 4 victory out of
the fire.
With the score tied at 4-aIl from
Cub uprising in the top of the
ainth. he ordered relief pitcher
Vance Page to walk Frank McCor-
nick, fully expecting Ernie Lom-
bardi. n of the leading producers
II double play balls, to cooperate.
The big catcher instead took a
Sunday cut. The ball went out on
, line and Bill Werber, who had
walked and been sacrificed to sec
and tottled in with what the Reds
needed.
Ruckv Walters. the Cincinnati
ace. started the game fully intend
;ne to ring up his 18th victory.
Howeyer. after holding the Cubs
to seven hits and a run for eight
innings. Bucky lost his stuff and
the Cubs put over three runs to
make things even-Stephen in the
ninth.
Doubles by Hank Leiber and
Jimmy Gleason, and singles by
ninch-hitter Dom Dallessandro and
Rob Mattick produced the runs
and the uprising ended in confus,
ion, Werber cut off Mike McCor,
mick's throW-in of Mattick's single
and then threw wild to the plate.
Nattick tried to come in but
Beggs. backing up lombard, re-
trieved the ball and threw him out
at the plate.
Both teams were ragged afield,
the Cubs making two errors, both
figuring in the early scoring. The
Reds. leading the league in field
ing turned up with three. Both
Claude Passeau, the starting Cub
pitcher, and Walters threw wild
in attempts to pick runners off
base.
The victory protected the Reds
- game lead over the Brooklyn
Dodgers. who defeated New York

Their Cousins

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 31.-R-T h e
Detroit Tigers rightfully can call
the Browns their "cousins"-they

defense industries; collective bar
gaining machinery established in
1885 now functioning to prevent the
causes of strikes in vital industries;
the employment service attached to
the Social Security Board now guid-
ing millions of unemployed workers
to jobs in defense industries; public
works projects now entering the
belt line of defense construction:
and revived industry, rehabili-
tated labor, and restored agricul-
ture now rising to their respective
tasks in molding the security of the
whole Nation.
The day is long since passed when
wars were fought between small
forces on a restricted battlefield
Contests between picked gladiators
have given way to total war, where
industrial capacity is more impor-
tant than arms in being, where
morale on the home front is a
major factor, and where nom
combatants share the physical
dangers of soldiers in the field. Thus
effective preparations for defense
require high civilian morale, and a
vigorous economic system backing
up the armed forces.
World War Experiences Cited.
For these reasons, the social gains
we have made in the past few years
are neither luXuries nor frills. They
are the measure of democracy's
concern for human welfare. To
abandon these social gains now
would be to lay ourselves open to
the propaganda of the enemy, to
encourage his aggressions, and to
weaken our defenses against his
then inevitable attack. To main
tain social progress as a continuing
goal of our American system, is to
make aggression against us less
likely and to doom it to certain fall
ure if it is attempted.
The history of the last World
War is the best example of the con-
nection between satisfactory human
adjustments and adequate defense.
In the trying days beginning in
1916 and 1917 every agency con-
cerned with defense production
found itself giving more and more
attention to industrial relations and
| the welfare of labor
In November, 1917. the chief OF
ordnance of the United States
Army, the man responsible for the
fullest production of war materials,
made this important pronounce
ment, and I quote him: I'm view
of the urgent necessity for prompt
increase in the volume of produc-
ton - vigilance is demanded OF
all those in any way associated
with industry lest the safeguards
with which the people of this coun-
try have sought to protect labor
should be unwisely and unneces-
sarily broken down. 1t is fair
assumption that for the most part
these safeguards are the mechan-
isms of efficiency"
This principle of industrial efi-
cheney has been expressly indorsed
and reafirmed by the present de-
fense commission.

Children S Party Friday
Will Help Great Britain

A children's party with a double
purpose will be held at the Ma
tional Theater, Friday afternoon.
Besides providing entertainment for
about 1900 youngsters the matinee
will benefit British war relief.
The play is Maurice Maeterlinck's
Seven Wishes" produced by the
Children's Theater of New York and
sponsored by the Washington We'll
lesley Club During the intermis-
sion the audience will sing Christ
mas carols and hear program by
the Harmonica Band of the Metro"
politan Police Boys Club A tram
81 ription of Princess Elizabeth's
address to the British children will
be played as a reminder of the
more serious purpose of the matinee.
Tickets are on sale at Children's
Theater headquarters, 1874 F street
NV. Those who wish to aid Brit
ish war relief but are unable to at
tend the matinee may designate
that their tickets be used by British
refugees living in Washington or by
children from local orphanages and
settlement houses. 1t is expected
that about 35 young refugees and
about 300 from the institutions will
attend in this way.

analysis these are the groups upon
whom we must rely to get the job
of defense production done.
Need for New Laws Seen.
These are only few of the phases
of our social legislation which have
been adapted to the needs OF the
national defense. In fact, at almost
every point the facilities Of peace
full progress and the facilities OF
defense are being fused into one.
How could it be otherwise, when
what we seek to defend is our
peaceful progress?
Sometimes the very urgency OF
our defense requirements has shed
new light on old needs that should
be remedied by legislation-a plan
to improve industrial hygiene and
reduce industrial accidents, a ma
tional health program, and meas
ures to safeguard the social security
rights of men serving in the armed
forces. Sometimes the very de-
structiveness of war discloseS more
clearly than ever the weak spots in
democracy's endeavors as when
aerial bombs clear the slums OF
London which had stood as a re-
proach to the slowness of demo-
cratic processes.
The next Congress should meet
these needs. Among our other OBJ
jectiyes, it should also go forward
in insuring minimum pension for
all who reach the age of retirement
Today, we are engaged in a pro-
gram which is expected to bring
full employment of our resources OF
men and machines. The experience
we derive in producing the means
of military defense must be held
ready to apply toward our we'll
being and general prosperity when
peace comes to the world. For the
continuing welfare of our people
now and in the peaceful years to
come, we must maintain and ex-
pand wherever possible, the instru-
ments of liberal progress we have
so recently forged.
We must do this as part of our
contribution in the struggle OF
which Lincoln so eloquently spoke
the struggle for maintaining in the
world that form and substance of
government whose leading object, is
to elevate the conditions of men
to lift artificial weights from all
shoulders; to clear the path of laud-
able pursuit for all; to afford all
an unfettered start, and a fail
chance in the race of life"

Natures Children
Nest of
Least Flycatcher

in a crotch of a tree. The range is
from Pennsylvania and New Jersey
northward. With the departure of
the leaves the nests are exposed.
You may have to climb some of
the trees in order to obtain your
prize. For the nest is placed from
to Is feet from the ground. Usu-
ally sapling is selected.
1t is a neat dwelling, compact and
very artistic. The most select gray
bark fibers and thin strips of bark
are used for the outside walls, thus
presenting a beautiful gray exterior
which blends well with tie tree
trunk.
The interior calls for many trips
for the down of dandelions, feath-
ers and hair, and some fine, narrow
grasses must be found and woven
into the mattress as well as the
side walls. When all this labor of
love has been accomplished the little
worker places within the lovely
cradle two to four pure white eggs.
Then the energetic worker takes
her place upon her eggs, while
friend husband, not far away, talks
to her in half-Warbled, half-gurgled
compliments. We know what he
says meets with her approval by
the way she holds her head and
the brightness of her eye, for nice
things said to us have the same
effect. Soon the little bassinet will
be empty and it is yours whenever
you are willing to go to the trouble
to get it. Empty nests may be filled
with plaster of paris eggs, made
to look so realistic they would fool
the elect.

the building material and the archi-
tectural plan of bird nests. No two
are exactly alike. The various ma
terials which go into the construc-
ton are as varied as we find in our
own home construction. To take
one nest apart by using strong
pliers, laying each kind to one side
as you unravel the bark, moss,
string, spiders web and so on, from
the various types of nests, you are
amazed at the skill and industry
of the small builder, whose only tool
Is her beak.
The least flycatcher has olive up
per parts and pale gray beneath
with a slight yellow tinge on the
lower part of the body. She is the
smallest member of her clan.
She is a very friendly little neigh
Dor and decidedly talkative unless
she is building, then she is quite
silent and rushed to get her nursery
completed
You will find these nests care
fully saddled on a branch or placed

on misunderstanding Of its provi-
sions and operation. There is no
act Of Congress or Federal regula-
ton that puts a maximum limit on
hours worked by any employe in the
production of any defense supplies
or construction, whether by private
concern or under Government direc-
tion. The only requirement is that
overtime rates be paid for all work
exceeding eight hours a day or 40
hours q week.
Besides, far from impeding pro-
duction, this standard has caused
many industries to put on extra
shifts instead Of attempting to meet
production demands by a lengthen-
ing Of the work week. Federal arse
mails and shipyards, for example, are
working "a hours day, six days a
week, wherever physical conditions
permit. Our standard is therefore
entirely different from the original
40-hour-week law In France, which
prohibited the entire plant from be-
ing worked more than 40 hours.
That was a grave mistake for which
France paid dearly. Let no one tell
you that we are repeating that mis-
take.
Hitler's Methods Deserted.
The attention of the next Con-
gress will also be drawn to a variety
of proposals to abolish the right to
strike and to impair collective bar
gaining. AL such proposals should
bring this fact to mind: Only the
totalitarian nations are wholly free
OF labor strife in peace and in war,
and they accomplish this at price
we think too high to pay-servitude
for labor and industry, reduced mo-
rale and increased accidents and
sabotage. In a contest between the
Nazi system and our own, we can
not hope to succeed by adopting
Hitler's methods.
Where industrial strife arises,
public authority in a democracy
should exert its influence, not in
coercion or dictation of a settle
ment, but in helping the parties to
reach their own decisions and ad-
just their own difficulties around
the conference table. increasingly
in recent years collective bargaining
has led to the signing of labor
Observation-Disclosures of industrial
peace and voluntary discipline. The
exceptional dispute that ripens into
strife-usually where no labor
agreement had been in force
should not be allowed to obscure
this fact: Notwithstanding a great
increase in trade union member
ship and industrial activity, indus
trial strife is on a. steady decline.
Indeed, the number of American
labor disputes this year, in proper
ton to total population, has been
lower than in Great Britain.
The continued cooperation of in
dustry and labor, in the establish
ment of a just industrial peace in
these times of stress, has been a
real tribute to their craftsmanship
and patriotism. An even greater
measure of peace and stability Will
be achieved through the commit
tees being organized under the Ma
tional Defense Commission in key
defense industries. The work OF
these committees should go for
ward with all speed, for in the final
