American League Play
Offs About.4To Begin

Cleveland, O., March 20--Once more
the stage is set for the American
Hockey league play.offs with Brothers
Bill and Bun Cook playing leading
roles as the Cleveland Barons meet the
Providence Reds in a best three out
of-ive game series.
The winning team enters the finals
and will play another fve.game series
with the survivor of the fight between
the second and third place clubs of
the eastern and western divisions.
Right now the spotlight is centered
on the battle of the leaders. Cleveland
plays at Providence on Tuesday and
Thursday nights. The Barons return to
meet the Reds in third play-of game
at the Arena on Saturday evening.
IT fourth game is necessary, it will
he played in Cleveland on Tuesdoy,
March 25 and if the series goes the
limit the final and deciding contest will
be staged at Providence on Thursday,
March 81.
For the past three seasons, the Cook
brothers have dominated the American
league, with Bun winning two cham
pionships and Bill nabbing one. The
winner of the Cleveland Prov idence
series will he favored to capture the
title.
In the season just ended the Barons
led the western division from the
opening game right through to the end

behind after a bad start to lead both
divisions in total points and won the
right to play the first two games at
home and a fifth on home ice if it be.

But what Cleveland hockey fans are
interested in at the moment is the big
play-off game Saturday night at the
Arena.

CONFINEMENT.

Contentment in old age is not
simply matter OF a roof over
your head and three meals a day.
Contentment involves. above all
else. the factor OF independence
independence from charity, from
relatives, from government relief,
1t means economic seli-security.
One of our great tragedies of
life is the number of men and wo-
men who reach old age entirely
without financial resources Of
their own. They feel that they are
burden to others, even though
that feeling is not justified.
Today, millions OF Americans
are making certain that this won't
be their lot. They are building
old-age security through life in
surance an other systematic saw
ings plans. In old age. these far
sighted people will really know
the meaning Of contentment.

IS he SERIOUS?

Nevada State JournaD
Senator Burton X. Wheeler, who is sup
poSedly serious person, has reached
new heights in his denunciation of the
war purposes of the Washington admin
istration. He has apparently reached
the conclusion that among other dire
things against which he would have the
country steel itself is the possible con-
scriptiOn of American girls TO provide
dancing partners for American soldiers
in training camps.
Senator Wheeler's illumination have en-
compassed nearly everything and his
latest blast has added nothing but bit
of bumor to otherwise serious charges
as the following editorial from an eastern
newspaper indicates:
Senator Wheeler is very serious
minded person, SO it would seem unfair
to ascribe to him in this connection an
intent to be humorous. Maybe he really
means it. Maybe he conceivps it as a
real danger. Maybe it is. But before an
opinion is expressed, the girls should be
heard from. Possibly they might con-
slider it a sort of appealing adventure
"In some parts of the United States
there has been something approaching
a sort of voluntary enlistment for this
sort of thing. And so far as has been
determined, a good time was had by
all. Perhaps Senator Wheela' ought to
look into that before he gets too het up
about the devious and devilish purposes
of the war mOngerS.'

OIL FOR THE
MOTORS OF JAPAN

christian Science Montor)
Would you hand man ammunition
for gun he was pointing at your head?
Just a few days ago Yosuke Matsuoka,
Japanese Foreign Minister reiterated
to an American newspaperman what has
been implicit in the Japanese-AXis tripar-
tite agreement ever since last Septem-
ber-namely that if the United States
became involved in hostilities with Ger
many, Japan would feel bound to fight
against the United States.
Yet under these pleasant neighborly
circumstances the export of petroleum
products-gasoline, fuel oil, and lubri
eating oil-from the United States to
Japan increased from 1,279,000 barrels
in February to ,553, 900 barrels in March.
Much of this oil and motor fuel is
sure to be used by the japanese navy,
army and air force in continuation Of
their bombing raids on civilians in China
and in their penetration of lndo-China.
At the same time comes news that
British-American companies have re-
newed agreements under which last No
vember they more than triped the quota
of oil furnished to Japan from the Meth
erlands East Indies. Admittedly the oil
companies and the foreign offices are
in a delicate business when they attempt
to reduce supplies of petroleum prod
ucts to Japan. The japanese military
government needs these so desperately
that if it cannot buy them it is apt to
try to take them by force.
But if force should come into play
against the American navy, outposts,
and trade routes in the Far Pacific as
as it is already employed against the
haplesS Chinese-whose force would it
be? Part Of it would be the propulsive
energy of American fuel oil and gasoline
turning japanese engines fabricated by
America Oil Presumably the Japanese
can provide their own explosives, though
an important source of toluol, basis of
INT is petroleum.
Does it make sense for America to go
on fueling the implements Of war which
already are pointed in her direction?

Greatest fear about sending an
American Expeditionary Force to
Greenland is not from guns but
from belief that -ESkimos will
bring in communicable diseases.
A cold to an American or Dane
becomes double pneumonia to ma
tive Greenlanders. German news
papers made the most of this in
spreading Idea that American
germs would wipe out the native
population. Big talk of Ger-
man strengthening of consular
staffs in United States has blown
up. Germany doubled its staff in
Philadelphia but that means in
creasing the office from one man
to two. German diplomatic staff
in U. S. is now estimated at no
more than 60. An experts esti-
mate Of Moscow trained Commun-
ist agitators in U. S. puts the
number at near 200, certainly under
1000. About 20 Americans have been
graduated from MoScoW'S Lenin
University every year for training
foreign propagandists. U. S. Navy

Stroking the Dragon

Now in these days, when each
and no man knows what new stu
alton he may face when he wakes
in the morning, comes the posi-
bility that Japan may back off and
take stock of its China war
Bear in mind that this adven-
ture began 10 years ago. Since
that time Japan has been, if not
always at war, always living under
war conditions. Since July 7, 1897
the war has been continual; -four
years of an expensive foreign war
costly in manpoWer, in money, in
morale.
The Chinese have been beaten
steadily and repeatedly beaten, yet
they have not been conquered. In
one of the most heroic migrations
of all history, they simply with
drew westward, to lay the founda-
ton of a new China. Building from
the bottom, a new nation has been
created almost literally, which has
fought on for nearly four years
unconquered.
Comes now the Japan Advertiser
an influential newspaper, which
would scarcely dare to speak SC
without official sanction, suggest
ing that Japan give up some OF
the territory its military have
gained in China, consolidate the
rest, and seek peace. The task this
paper proposes is no less than that
the japanese army should prove
that its presence in China means
no encroachment on China's polit-
ical and territorial integrity bu,
instead means peaceful, friendly
Intentions"
One hears a great deal about the
Oriental mind and its subtleties
Perhaps it will be possible for the
japanese to prove to the Chinese
their essentially peaceful inten.
tions, though there are a million
and a half Chinese dead, thiry
million homeless, and fifty million
who have had to make new home.

HOLLYWOOD, May 16 - Movie
town is Iuil of handsome gents
and beautiful gals whose current
fame and fan acclaim represent
Algeresque triumphs over earlier
struggles and adversely. So it's
time somebody told the story of
Johnny Mack Brown-a man who
has been a hero all his life.
AS a rootin' -tootin western star
known wherever American films are
shown, he's scarcely more of ce-
lebrity than when he used to tote
a football for the University of
Alabama. His prominence, however,
began long before he went to COL
lege, although it was confined most
" to his home town of Dothan, Ala.
In primary school he was the
handsome, quiet youngster who
polished off. the bullies, made good
grades, and captained all the teams.
During his last two years of high
school. he was a lion of the grid
iron even among the adult popula-
ton. Football scouts from big time
colleges began drifting into Do
than to offer Mrs. Browns tall,
black-haired boy an athletic and
incidentally, academic career. john
ny Mack was acclaimed by all Ala
bama when he chose its university.
HIS
LUCKY DAY
And so he worked his way by
clerking in a Shoe store and be-
came a campus idol and pigskin
star, but all that was nothing un-
til an afternoon in the middle Of
his senior year-Jan. l 1926, Ala
bama had been asked to play the
University of Washington in the
Rose Bowl, but was SO lightly re-
garded that sports writer's accused

ponent.

AN INNOVATION

A lot of things have started in lmpe-
rial Valley, later to become nationwide
in scope or Importance. (The statement
incidentally, Is not rhetorical. The big
gest national stage line started here with
one lone bus. Boulder Dam Rad its be-
ginnings here. The list is long one)
Another innovation which might very
well be applied on a national scale, to
greater benefit for all people, was noted
in the news this week. 1t is one of which
the valley can be proud.
1t is the agreement between hay grow
ers. contractors and bailers that wages
Iof hay bailers should be fixed hereafter
according to the price paid fer hay. 1t
is, in other words, an equitable agree
ment for profit sharing by labor, with
labor taking part of the profit when
prices are high, and assuming part of
the loss when prices fall 1t is eminent
ly fair to both sides, because it is econ
omically sound.
