MERRY-GO-ROUND

The American Association for Eco
homic Freedom has reprinted an ad-
dress made more than 10 years ago
by Federal Judge Robert N. Wilkin
of Cleveland on "a New Social Or
DER in which he advocated union
of the English-speaking countries to
resist the totalitarian aggressors.
Heavyweight champ Joe Louis,
soon to be drafted, is tackling what
he describes as ''the biggest fight of
my career" He has sent circular
letter to every member of congress
asking them for help to raise fund
for movement to improve the eco
nomic condition of Negroes.
1t isn't advertised, but the army
now has regular military air serv-
ice across both the North and South
Atlantic, operating on schedule, just
as punctually as any commercial
airway in the U.S.A.
Good news for the troops eaten by
chiggers in the Louisiana maneu-
vers: Denton Crowl of Toledo had
just discovered a chemical which
will make them as scarce as Amer
lean heavy bombers.
Jesse Jones is angling to get John
Hertz, original king of the Yellow
Taxis in Chicago, appointed to the
Maritime commission.

be much harder to hold in check next
spring and summer with so many
crack young pitchers on hand.
Against this Wyatt, Davis and Fitz-
simmons of the Dodgers have COM
bined total of 107 years-or 1O8
years by 1912.
"You might also add that we can't
be expected to have another such
run of terrible LUCK" Hickey said.
''That will make a terrific differ
ence."
The 1941 World series is now back
with the dust-gathering archives,
but they are still talking about Joe
Gordon, the Oregon Flash.
Gordon did something more than
bat 500 in the series and reach first
IA times in five games. He killed
infield drives that would have whis-
tied safely throlgh Dodger de-
lenses, and this makes major diff
ference to any pitcher.
The Yankees slipped at least four
hits to the right of second that Cor
don would have been waiting for
or at least would have handled with
out breaking his neck.
The Yankee star is remarkably
quick starting in either direction,
and he is even quicker with his
hands. AS a freshman at Oregon he
was the most promising-looking
vo11no football n1aver tho West coact
had seen in years, but abandoned
the gridiron for a diamond career.
Joe Mccarthy wants none of his ath-
letes playing football.
Gordon has less tension on big
days than any other ball player in
the game. There is no situation
that can tighten him up. And the
game can't show you a finer sports
man.

THIS matter of expecting even the
stronger football teams to win all
of their games or most of their
games is point all of joint-if a
point can have joint. Even the
Yankees and Dodgers, good enough
to carry off a pair of pennants, won
only two-thirds of their starts, and
football should be judged in much
the same manner.
There are too many strong teams
in the field today for old grads to
keep expecting one victory after an
other. Many have now even reached
the point of tossing out teams that
happen to have lost single game.
On this basis where would the
Dodgers have been last spring when
even the Giants beat them three
straight to open the season? AS Bob
Zuppke once said, "Out in that
Big Ten I can lose every game and
still look good" And that might be
true.
Accidents, tough breaks, injuries

difference of two or three touch
downs in game. The psychology
ical setup has wide ranges.
The main answer is that any team
playing first-class schedule can
look back on a good season if it can
win a majority of its starts. Last
season, for example, Minnesota won
every game-yet Minnesota had the
closest possible calls against Michi-
gan, Northwestern and Ohio State,
with whom just slender flop in luck
the other way might have brought
the gallant Gophers three setbacks.
That's the way football is. One or
two breaks, especially in the passing
game, can raise an abnormal
amount of old-fashioned Cain. 1t has
been that way every season, and this
should be no exception.

NEW LABOR HEADACHE

Strikes are still a serious problem,
but the big labor headache currently
marrying defense chiefs is the COM
pick and mounting difficulty of en-
ployment dislocations.
Almost every day brings new re-
ports of workers let out due to lack
of materials, forced curtailment of
production or other defense causes.
Official estimates of such dismissals
put the number at between one and
two million.
And the end is not in sight. Some
experts anticipate that in the auto
industry alone 100000 workers will
lose their jobs.
Aware of the serious economic
consequences of such dislocations,
OPM heads are making strenuous
efforts to overcome them. So far
only partial answers have been
found.
Originally, OPM tried to handle
such dismissals by local absorption.
This worked all right in towns with
industries engaged in defense work.
They could use the displaced hands
and gladly took them on. But in
communities where this condition
did not exist, other solutions had to
be found.
Various methods have been used.
In some instances defense orders
have been granted to reopen shut
down plants. In other cases, where
conversion of a plant wasn't pos
sible, an entire new defense plant
has been erected in town. In still
other instances, workers have been
given "retraining" instruction and
moved to places where labor was
needed.
Defense chiefs count on Floyd Cd.
lum's reorganized subcontracting
division to take up most of the slack
on defense dislocations.
Odlum originally estimated it
would take two months to set up
administrative machinery, but OPM
chiefs are urging him to turn his
attention to getting subcontracts now
and rounding out his organization as
he goes along.

alking Lighthouse

In wonderful world there are
many queer professions, but rank
ing high among the strange ones
is that practiced by Chinese
coolie living in 'Chungking.
At night he can be seen walking
around the dark streets. with a
lighted candle measuring some
eight inches stuck in the top OF
his skull. In return for a small
fee he will guide you to your des-
tination.
When very young his parents,
apparently, had cut the top of his
skull, inserted a candle which
they held in position by sealing
wax, and sent him out on to the
street as guide to travellers.
For many years now he has
done this queer job, and must
surely be the only human eight
house" in the world.

FARMER PRICE VICTORY
Washington, D. C.

ahUuER L vAO4OAS1
Louis J. Taber, National Grange
president, and other farm leaders
didn't come away empty-handed
from their conference with the Pres
ident on price control.
While he would not agree to their
proposal that wages be included in
the price control bill drafted by
Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son, Roosevelt did make one impor-
tant concession. He said he would
have no objection to 'parity aver
ages formula" being put in the bill
to limit the dumping of government
owned wheat and cotton when the
prices of these commodities threaten
to soar out Of bounds.
Under this formula, to insure
farmers an average parity price for
the full crop year, restrictions would
be placed on the amount of wheat
and cotton that could be sold. Also,
the dumping could not begin until
prices reach certain above-parity
levels, to be worked out by Hender-
son and the department of agricul-
ture.
Taber and his colleagues had to
do some fast talking to sell the Presi-
dent on this plan. At first he seemed
in no mood to accept any changes
in the bill and told his callers that
if they had come to debate the ques-
ton of controlling farm prices they
were wasting their time.
"We have simply got to head off
infationary trends" the President
declared grimly, cor face the worst
depression the country has ever
known after this emergency is over. -"
The farm leaders finally won him
over to their plan with the assurance
that they would not oppose Hender-
sons system of selective price con-
trolls, providing the parity gains won
at this session were not lost.
Taber pointed out that though the
prices of wheat and cotton are now
only slightly below parity, and live
stock above it, farmers get only 43
per cent of the consumers dollar
spent for farm products, as against
go per cent in 1917, when defense
production was geared to the peak
it has reached today.

NEW CANDIDATES INTRO DUCED INTO MISS NOME CONTEST

Since the last issue of the Mug get, dramatic changes have talk en place in the contest for Miss Nome.
 An sffort was made to return Miss "Cissie" Johansen's votes and some purchasers refused by saying that she was their choice and since they are entitled to their vote "Cissi." is still in the race. Dorothy Neson, finding her self too busy to run, decided it best that she too attempt to with draw but because of votes al ready cast for her this is impos sible. Joniss Jones, the only or lginal candidate is working for her own interests, is selling many tickets on her own merits.
 A Mistaken idea has been ru- mored that the queen manager picked his queens and their back CTS from die previously set by his sponsors. Such is not the case and consequently Jack has dis organized the committees he so generously picked to represent the three original candidates. This Queen Contest is open to any single Nome girl and if she Is between the ages of 18 and 26 years will stand a good chance of becoming Miss Alaska at the Fairbanks Ice Carnival. All that the public has to do to see their favorite become queen is to vote for her and back her individual ly, or in any way they see fit. Some people have already come % their senses and have intro ducad their choice. AS a result the ballot box count today reveal ed the following:
