TURNS SERIOUS

McSpaden, a happy go lucky
SHOEMAKER. turned deadly serious
as he lined up the putt-a stroke
which meant the difference between
the winners share of $4,000 and the
runner-up cut of Sl400 He stroked
the ball deftly, playing the slope
of the green. 1t rolled steadily to
the tip of the cup. hesitated
momentarily and then dropped out
of sight for a birdie three. White
missed his birdie bid and the title
was McSpaden's.
The putter with which McSpaden
hit the "Pay-Off" shot is the
story-book club of his bag.
McSpaden's high rating in pro-
fessional circles seven or eight
years ago was due to his uncanny
putting. Then misteriously he lost
his touch.

For S42,0O0,O00
By the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Financial
circles learned today that the Dis
tillers Corp.-Seagrams, Ltd. of
Montreal, Canada, had completed
arrangements for purchase OF
Frankfort Distilleries. Inc, of Louis
vile. XIV, at reported price of
$40 900, 900.
Wide interest centered in the
deal inasmuch as Frankfort Dis
tilleries. fifth largest North Ameri-
can liquor COMPANY. is reported to
have Inventories of between $4,000
and 450,000 barrels of bonded
whisky.
From a distribution standpoint.
this huge store of whisky would
bulk heavily in trade channels now
that all distilleries in the United
States and Canada have been con-
verted solely to production of in
dustrial alcohol for war purposes.
Among several other brands, Four
Roses and Paul Jones whiskies are
two of the best-known products
made by the Frankfort company.
E. d. Slater, vice president of the
New York Office of Frankfort. said
the deal had been under way for
ceveral weeks. but said final ar
rangements would be handled by the
Citizens Union National Bank of
Louisville.
The volume of sales of Frankfort
Distilleries is believed to be in ex-
cess of slOO,O00,0OO annually, but no
securities are outstanding and no
definite report was available.

Maryland Education
May Not Hold Own,
lowndes Warns
By the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, Oct. 22.-Assertine
that we are approaching an imme-
diate and a postwar crisis in public
education in Maryland" Tasker G
Lowndes declared today that the
pertinent question was no longer
whether further progress could be
made. 1t is, he said, rather
whether We shall be able to hold the
position we attained through heroic
efforts since 1920"
Mr.. Lowndes. Cumberland banker
who for eight years has been presi-
dent OF the State Board of Educa-
ton. said that only calm and
fearless facing Of the facts, and a
rational analysis Of the situation. as
we'll as an earnest desire to meet our
responsibility will avail anything of
consequence.
Shortage Felt in 1910.
Addressing a special meeting of
county superintendent and Bslti-
more City school officials at the
State Department of Education. Mr..
Lowndes said that the shortage of
teachers began to be felt in the
State in 1910.
We cannot afford to blind our
selves to the fact that the loss of
teachers from the profession is ap-
palling," he said. Il solemnly warn
the public Of the seriousness of the
situation and of dire consequences
that will occur unless steps are taken
Immediately to prevent still further
losses"
Today's meeting of school officials
was called to hear report on the
planning Of postwar educational
program for the State, submitted by
DR.. Thomas G.. Pullen, jr., State
school superintendent.
In his report. DR.. Pullen said
many high school pupils had left
the classroom to take jobs in war
industry. on farms and to enter the
armed forces. He declared that it
was essential that these youths COM
plete their education.
Cites Handicaps to Youths.
Mr.. Lowndes urged that plans be
made to afford high school education
for all youths and added that one
half the boys and girls of high school
age in Maryland are not in high
school; they have never entered. or
have withdrawn before graduation.
These youths are handicapped in the
struggle of life, and the public and
their parents know it.
What is more important. they
are urging that something be done
about it. The parents are unable.
financially or otherwise, to cope tn
these situations, and as the Govern
ment is for the people they look
there for succor.
If the responsibility belongs to
the schools. you should assume it;
rest assured that in any case some
agency, local or Federal. good or
bad, will eventually be set up to care
for it. We should not 30 too far
af1eld in caring for cur youth. but
We must see to it that no MARYLAND
youth is penalized because he cannot
compete with his conventional fellow

This award is offered by Dou-

is open to any book that deals
with American Negroes. It is
an award of $4,000 ($1,500 out
right, $1,000 as an advance
against royalties). The offer
will remain open indefinitely in
our discretion. 1t will not be
based on manuscripts received
during a particular period but
the award will be given whenever
full-length manuscript seems
in the estimation of the Judges
to be worthy of this special re-
cognition. The judges will be
the editors of Doubleday, Doran
and Company.
1t is the hope of Doubleday,
Doran that this award will serve
as one means of keeping alive
the memory of a great American,
and that it will also help to give |
wide distribution of books about |
the American Negro. 1t is GER
tainly an exaggeration to say
that Uncle Toms Cabin brought
on the Civil War, but it is GER
tainly no eXaggeration to say that
the moral indignation it aroused
in the North had a great deal
to do with ending the inhuman
institution of slavery. Books are
weapons.
