RAMS v. PHlLLIES'
EAGLES

Cleveland, Ohio. Sept. l9 -
The Cleveland Rams, with a %
to 0 victory over the Midwest
College All-Stars under their
belts, are looking forward ex-
pectantly to their League opener
with the Philadelphia Eagles at
League Park Sunday, Sept. p.
The Eagles. boasting an atrial
circus of their own, will have
played one League fray before
their clash with the Rams.
In last weeks victory over the
All-Stars. the Rams looked very
good. The entire starting eleven,
veteran but for one newcomer,
showed a powerful running at
tack that may rival their famed
passing attack for efficiency. Ollie
Cordill. the former Rice Institute
triple threat star. was the lone
rookie to crash the starting line
up.
Along with Cordill, who start
ed at wingback, in the first back
field were Parker Hall, tailback,
John Drake, Fullback, and Gay
Ion Smith, blocking quarterback.
The line was veteran from end to
end having Red Conkright at CEN
ter, Barney McCarry anil Ted
Livingston at the guards. Chet
| Adam and Moose Dunstan at the
tackles, and Babe Patt and Jim
I,Benton at the ends.
! Coach Dutch Clark, of the
Rams. substituted frequently

it out he is charged with being
afraid to print the news. The best
plan for the banker or the news
paperman to follow is to run his
business the way he thinks it
should be run and let the critics
criticize"
1t would be an interesting ex-
pertinent if "self-starting' critics
were given charge of the nations
banks and newspapers for a pc
riod. 1t is q safe bet that they'd
rapidely learn a sad lesson-and
an equally sad bet that the public
which depends on banks to safe
guard its money and newspapers
to give it the news of the world,
would take a terrific beating.
Amateur banking and amateur
journalism would be a far cry
from the real professional articles.
banking has given the Ameri-
can people and American busi-
ness unparalleled service-it fur
nished the financial lifeblood that
built this nation in world record
time. The American newspaper
gives the people better, more COM
plete and more accurate coverage
of what is happening a mile away
or ten thousand miles away than
the press of any other country.
The bankers and the editors will
go Oh doing these vital jobs
while "the critics criticize.

tember issue of "Outdoorsman"

You've heard of blackouts
over London, Paris, Berlin-they
were something alright. but the
disturbance of the social bulse
couldn't hardly have been more
severe than the entrance of Bad
gerlv Pip and wife Adella into
Smithsville.
Smithsville is itself is unique,
the "fshing-est and hunting-est"
town in the whole United States
but the blackout which des-
cended upon it when the Pip's
sought to invade its social pulse
makes for pages of chuckles and
a blitzkrieg ending.
You'll sympathize with Bad
gerly. chuckle at Sam Watson
and his mighty prejudice against
tourists; and be amazed at the in
ner workings Of the Ladies Aid
Auxiliary where the girls claw
their way to social prestige solely
on the fishing and hunting
prowess of their darling husbands

Congress May Adjourn Before
Oct. 5; Defense Data Lackina

The chief reason for the creation
OF IVA was cheap rates for ma
tional defense and we now have the
report that its rate demands are de-
laying the program in that area.
TN the matter of air bases on the
4 islands, some very interesting
sidelights are coming into the open.
1t has been suggested that we mi ght
have had them all for nothing, but
that we looked a gift horse in the
mouth. Questions are being asked
as to where our Yankee shrewdness
got to.
1t may be interesting if it should
develop that instead of paying for
the temporary use of British land,
involving ourselves in all the pos
sible complications of Great Britain's
problems, and risking losing all the
money we spend on the bases them
selves, we could have had the islands
for nothing and eliminated the COM
plications, and had something left to
show for money spent!
IT is almost impossible to get data
L on the progress of production
especially of plane production. Sus-
picion is rife that our own require
ments are being set aside far more
than anyone realizes and questions
are being asked regarding the weak
ening of our preparation by the
shipment of unreasonable numbers
of planes, arms and other war ma
terials to England. Are the Empire
builders" endangering America, Is
being asked in many circles.
DELIABLE sources place the un-
~ employment figures collected in
this years census at 12,500,0 peo-
pie. Small wonder that announce
ment has been made that these
figures will not be available until
November 9TH, two days after elec-
ton. How embarrassing for the
New Deal program of More
Abundant Life should this become
known sooner.

When Beyond the Horizon"
opening at the Morosco Theatre
in New York in 1920 it was term
ed new American tragedy but it
is a tragedy that might occur in
any civilized country in the world
where marriage is recognized
institution.
1t is the tragedy dealing with
the marriage of a man and
woman who are incompatible.
There pictures an intellectual -
a dreamer "a man with the soul
of a poet who marries a woman
mentally inferior. Because of this
dull stupid woman the dreamer
gives up a trip to travel in the
far off places OF the world. A trip
for which his soul thirsts. He is
soon dissillusioned and turns for
comfort to his books and his little
daughter.
Upon the death of the child
the dreamer always poor in
health develops tuberculosis
and dies -- still dreaming of what
might have been had he taken to
the road of his dreams - instead
of drudging along the wrong
matrimonial lane.
James O'Neill. father of Eugene
IO'Neill. the author of Beyond
the Horizon. was one of the
foremost melodramic actors of
the Eighties and received his
early training at the old Academy
of Music in Cleveland which was
located on Bank Street (West
6th) it is this training that en-
abled him to rise to stardom in
""The Count of Monte Christie" a
show in which he starred for 20
years.

Oakland Assumes Festive Air
With Decorations

Oakland has taken on festive
spirit. This is partially due to the
curb Christmas trees and other deco
rations along the streets of the bust
ness section and partially due to the

the corner of Second and Liberty
streets, placed there by the Service
clubs and the city council.
Most of the trees are in place and
have been lighted in the evenings.
Stores began remaining open on
Monday evening for the benefit of
those seeking Christmas purchases.

Wldlife Advisory
Body Seeks Changes
In State Game-Laws
Later Trout Season and Bag
Limit on Turkeys Are
Recommended

The Advisory Councils of Washing
ton, Allegany and Garrett counties,
set up for the purpose of advising the
State Game and Inland Fish Commits
sion, met at Hagerstown yesterday
with eight of the IL local members in
attendance.
A number of important items were
discussed and the three counties came
to agreement on some controversial
matters. The upland game season rec
commended for the three counties was
November l to November 80. Deer
season to open on the first Monday of
December and continue through Sat-
urday in order to give the teachers at
least one day in the woods. Trout
season recommended was from April
Is to July Is. Bag limit on turkey
to be reduced to one per season per
hunter instead of four as at present.
Bag limit on rabbit to be reduced to
four per day and the sale of them
prohibited.
The group also recommended that
the present law which prohibits the
commission from purchasing land in
Garrett county should be repealed to
conform to the conditions prevailing
in the other counties of the state.
They also recommended that the
present law which allows nonresident
land owners to purchase a hunting
license for $3.50 be repealed and that
the same regulations be adopted
which prevail in our neighboring
states. To hunt in West Virginia or
in Pennsylvania a land owner must
procure nonresident license. The
present law provides that if non
resident owns land in Maryland with
an assessed valuation of $500 he is
on par with the citizens of this
state.
After a heated discussion the rep
resentatives of the three counties
compromised on an increase OF 50
cents in both county and statewide
license fee rather than the proposed
$3.50 statewide license for every res
ident of the state.
The members of the council from
Garrett county attending WERE L. w.
Warwick, Kitzmiller; j. w. Glotfelty,
Oakland; Stewart Rodamer, Grants
vile; Cecil Ramsey, Oakland; Earl
Harvey, Swanton; L. w. Cook, Mt.
Lake Park; Forrest Warwick and H.
c. Riggs, Oakland The group was
accompanied by George Shields, dep
uty warden, and Dan Hershberger, of
Grantsville.
