SHOP-TALKINK WRITER'S
By T. L L

It is fun to write. To be able to
s'speak up and 'spress yourself
is better sport than golf. Whatever
else may be said about the more
than a mile of columns - yes, I
have calculated, counting only n
printing for each article - that I
have penned, at least I myself
have had the pleasure of writing.
So it is as a veteran penman
that I raise my word in protest
against the cult of authorship as a
sort of super-gift. I'm tired of the
swagger and shop talk of writer's.
1t takes more brains to make a
watch or an automobile than
it does to write an article. Milady
is not literary" but her gifts as
a homemaker, mother. cook and
hostess transcend those of most
pen - women. Better brains are
needed to run a farm or a Shop
successfully than are required for
producing the average publication.
In other words. to develop ones
own natural gifts, and to do ones
own work well, is a success COM
mensurate with anything accom-
plisAed by publicized writer's, ar
lists and musicians. "Act well thy
part; there all the honor lies"
Dear Lord, forgive all our pea
cock-parading v our little &C

enough, to do Our own work well

adequacies. Amen.

irate umpire. Mr.. Leo Durocher,
the Brooklyn manager, has had his
share of run-ias with the umpires
and throughout the leagues there
have been turmoil and strife.
Well, so what are we coming to?
Is it that the war days put us all
on such edge that we must continue
our belligerent attitude right into
the days of peace? Yesterday, as
you know, was the first anniver-
sary of VI Day and, theoretically,
we've been at peace foc a year
and a day now. It is quite theo-
retical, this peace.
It may be, too, that in the case
Of baseball we're taking our ath-
letic contests entirely too seriously.
I could never e why anybody
took an athletic contest so serious
ly that he wanted to 60 to all
the bother and physical exertion
to fight about it. Games were start
ed, of course, as sports and there
by the implication is that these
games are engaged in by young
gentlemen who take the fields with
a view toward entertainment and
pure and innocent pastime. Parea-
thetically, it is possible that some
of the gamblers wish somebody
to do some fighting when they lay
their money on the line and are
about to lose it.
Without knowing any too much
about them, I have been tod
that both Mr.. Mungo and Mr.
Britain are fairly fiery gentlemen
and that they give no quarter i
thei- spirit of competition.
1t would be nice, though, il
these two boys-and all others who
might bring up the sordid spirit
of battle into these athletic con-
tests-would kiss and makeup.
And let's get on with baseball as
the harmless sport it's supposed &c
be.

Love Their Bell-BOttOms

Remember when some Navy recruits,
along about the start of the war, raised
the deuce about bell-bottom pants? They
were civilians at heart, used to cuffs
on their trousers, and didn't take kind
ly to the traditional Navy uniform.
Nothing was done about their protest
at the time, but now the Navy is about
to spring a reform.
New designs in white call for civilian
type shirt and trousers, black tie and
sailor hat. In blue, the new uniform
would be civilian-type trousers, Eisen-
hover jacket, overseas cap, white shirt
and tie. This style has not been finally
adopted. The Navy will not make a
final decision before October /. But
if the choice is left to the old-line sail
ors there will be no change at all. The
older fellows in the service love their
bell-bottoms.
The Navy magazine polled the men.
Less than a fourth of them had any,
thing kind to say about the proposed
change. On the other hand some five
thousand sailors from all over the coun-
try wrote in protest with customary
sailor bluntness. mice if you are sell
ing ice cream" some of them said. 9th
ers declared they wouldn't be seen at
a dog fight in the new uniform. "What
next?" asked one. "Lace skivvies ?"
Evidently the change will be made,
If at all, without consent of the men
chiefly affected. One might inquire:
Why start something involving trench
dous quantities of goods at a time when
mems clothing is so scarce?

But Tuesday nights little i'm
broglio at Legion Stadium to, which
the local gendarmes had to be
summoned lest there be bodily
injury done to one or two, and
perhaps all, reminds me of the
time l was actually an umpire
and my Empirical dignity became

contest by using my authority to
put off the field an entire team
when its members spoke to me in
a tone of voice that was unbe-

I am not sure what happened at
the Stadium Tuesday night be-
cause my knowledge of the affair
is only hearsay. But I understand
that MIR. Mungo and our own
Shuney Britain passed a few words
and there came On, after what ap-
peared to be fi%stlcuffs between the

thing akin to a riot.
Indeed, while I wal going
through my regular stint here in

the Stadium called in to wonder
where the -ioting was going on. 1t
SO happened that at the moment l

the British author, gained a reputation
rivaled by few writers.
Novels poured from his pen inces-
sanity but because of the haste with
which they were written and lacking
careful revision often lapsed into loose
construction.
Like Byron, he might have said he
couldn't stop writing. But unlike Byron
he did not give many of his works the
finishing touch of the artist. On the
whole his fiction reminds the reader of
F. Marion Crawford, a prolific produc-
err of fiction of a former generation,
who, too, had a great following but
1t his books come forth without polish
ng them as he was capable of doing
only he could stop composing long
enough for that important job.
Although fiction was Mr.. Wells chief
medium, he wrote on scientific subjects
with sufficient brilliance to hold the
attention of the non-scientific reader
and at the same time please the scien-
lists. At least one of his books, the Out
line of History, is a real contribution
to literature and as such will survive
not only as a reference work for stu
dents but for the section of the public
that finds relief, recreation and enter
+ainment in historical subjects.

BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM e. MCKINNEY
Americas Gard Authority

Timing plays a very important
part in all soprts. Proper tim
ing of the play of the hand is one
of the most difficult features to
learn in the game of bridge. To-
days hand is an ideal example of
timing.
Declarer may decide to win the
opening heart lead with dummy's
ace, lead a spade and take the
finesse; but if he makes that play,
he has not given sufficient thought
to making the contract. If the
spade finesse fails, another heart
will come back, which South will
have to ruff. Then if the trumps
break four-two, he is in a bad fix
because the diamond suit is still
not set.
South should decide at the very
beginning that he is going to lose
just two spades and a diamond.
When he wins the first heart, he
should take two rounds of trumps
and then play the ace, king and a
small diamond. Now if a heart
comes back, he trumps it and leads
another diamond. In this manner
the contract would be assured.
The line of play described is
really a safety play because it
offers protection against four
trumps in either of the opponents
hands. The wise declarer takes
precaution against bad breaks.

Going Up

The New York Times notes that in
creasing resistance to sustained price
advances which has been in evidence
in most commodity markets OF late
may augur the termination of the post
war commodity rise"-in all but cotton.
Cotton, adds the Times, is expected
to continue its ascendancy perhaps
even to the 40-cents-a-pound level and
the highest prices since July %, 1920,
when the July futures contract on the
New York Cotton Exchange sold at
1875 cents a pound"
And the Times continues!
MANY local cotton mel agree with
some predictions from the South that
the commodity may even break into the
50-cents-a-pound ground before the
current season is completed. The re-
duction of the Governments export
subsidy program very likely will be a
price deterrent to some extent, but this
single price-depressing factor is easily
offset by the continued heavy domes-
tic demand in the face of short crops.
There remains to be filled a tremendous
wartime-created vacuum in supplies of
cotton goods all along the line where
quality is sought and cost is not reckon
ed. This years domestic production
may be lower than expected, what with
continued reports of unfavorable wealth
er and labor shortages emanating from
many sections of the Cotton Belt. 1t is
a situation that is attracting consider
able interest, and one that promises to
be of prime importance in the com
Modify field for several years"

WASHINGTON, - n depart
ment of Justice is appealing to all
U. S. veterans of World War II
who r aliens and who haven't

Japan, A Year Later

A year and a day have passed since
japan surrendered. Much still remains
to be done to get that %benighted land
and people back, as we say, on their
feet. But so much has been accomplish
ed under the leadership of the Supreme
Commander, General Douglas MacAr-
thur, that only day before yesterday
the aged premier declared his greatest
fear was that occupation might end too
soon and leave Japan to wrestle I'M
equally with Russia.
In writing on the anniversary OF the
surrender yesterday, Yoshio Matsuoka'
American born Japanese who gradual
ed from the University Of California,
but lived in Tokyo throughout the war,
wrote that while the city is still far
from rehabilitated, Spiritually, the
gloom of a year ago has been replaced
by optimism"
"When a Tokyo family squats on
the straw mat floor" he concludes, ito
a dinner of Macarthur rations,' they
look back over the year and say, who
would have thought defeat would be
like this? Who would have thought the
enemy was like this?
Without going off the deep end over
General MacArthur's administration,
for he has had to operate as Supreme
Commander by trial and error and
combat Russian heckling and interfer-
ence, it is obvious that readjustment
to peace under difficult conditions has
made notable progress, because, we be-
believe, there has been but one occu-
patton zone in the home islands with
a single man of good judgment in COM
mand.
The contrast between conditions in
Japan and in Germany, where four
zones exist and harmony is lacking, is
obvious. 1t is not improper, in the light
of the last years experience, to think
that so long as Russia occupies east
Germany and refuses to cooperate with
the other three powers administering
the balance of the country, the kind
of optimism prevailing today in Japan
can never be brought about.
Roosevelt gambled on Russian CO.
operation at impossible odds. Russia's
chief object is to communize Germany,
along with as much of Europe as she
can control, and very obviously has no
intention of acting in concert with the
other occupying forces on any major
issue.
To salvage ever a part of Germany
it would seem necessary for the United
States, Great Britain and France to
unite in a single administration of their
zones under a commander who would
occupy a position equivalent to that of
MacArthur's in Japan, and if neces-
sary act independently of Russia.
