clothed, even to his shoes and
socks.
At the ball park the 50-year-
old Barrow read the riot act in
front of the entire club. Ruth
took it for a time, then threat
ened to punch Barrow. A hush
fell over the clubhouse and Bar
row ordered all players except
Ruth to get out. You stay here,
Babe, and I'll give you a chance
to see whether you can punch
me in the nose," Barrow recalled.
The players finished dressing
and started out of the room,
Ruth wasn't first out" Barrow
wrote. Il would say he was about
fifth. That was the closest the
Babe and l ever came to blows"
Barrow was inconsolable when
Ruth died in 1948. "It broke my
heart when Lou Gehrig died."
Barrow said at the time. Nov
that the Babe is gone there's
nothing left for me. One of the
saddest things in life is to out

and Lou were two of my chill

Babe to the Yankees, as business
manager and secretary, the fol-
lowing year.
Thus the most successful re-
gime in baseball history was in
itiated. There were times when
Barrow wasn't universally ad-
mired He was opposed to night
baseball and radio broadcaSts of
games, He was called an "old
fogey" by some of his contem-
poraries. but he was the first Of
fetal to number his players and
the first to permit fans to keep
balls knocked into the stands.

the old Atlantic League in Span

Themselves Jews

One of the worlds most fas-
cinating studies is genealogy, but
it has a way of uncovering skele-
tons that many countries would
prefer to keep hidden. The Nazis
discovered that, to their embar-
raSsment, when the working of
the Aryan law caught in its net

families of Germany.
is certainly no exaggeration
to say that if an Aryan test were
applied, too, in other countries,
the results would be equally
amazing. Determined to free
Spain from the ''mala sanguis"
(bad blood of the Jews, King
Joseph ordered Pombal, his prime
minister, to issue instructions
that all Jews must wear yellow
caps. A few days later the prime
minister appeared before the
cabinet with three yellow caps
and said to the King: Zone for
myself, one for the Grand In
quisitor and one for Your Ma
jesty."
Notwithstanding the fact that
the Jews of Spain were expelled
in 1892, during the reign of Fer
dinand and Isabella, the patrons
of the Inquisition, Ferdinand
himself had Jewish blood. His
mother was a granddaughter of
the beautiful Jewess Paloma of
Toledo. A granddaughter of
Ferdinand married one of the
sons of Alfonso Cabelleria, vice
chancellor of Aragon, who was
the great-grandson of a Jew. She
in turn became the aunt of the
future Kaiser Karl v.

You Can Make a Mobile Cold Frame

be moved about at will.
One of the important things
to attend to is painting the
wood. Two coats should be ap-

the open. Dampness, too. will at

should be painted to match the

The Power Of Imagination
BY lauren White

Imagine you are a native of Africa
forced to live harsh, povertystrcken, and
uninSpiring existence. Imagine you have been
forced from the fertile fields of your native
community and driven to barren reservations
where life is hard. You are forced to carry
a large number of passes when you leave the
reservation and you find these passes very ex-
pensive.
Imagine that you are forced to live I'M
der laws you did not make and give y)ac
labor to support officials you did not elect
Moreover, these officials in no way represent
your interest but are dedicated to keeping you
impoverished and weak. Further imagine that
all of these conditions are symbolic of West
ern European and American rule.
Now, imagine you are an Asian, Your
country too, has been overrun by group
that is hostile to your advancement You, too,
are segregated and Disseminated against in
your native land Imagine you are dominated
and controlled by people who came to your
country to take what you have. These people
set up extraterritora courts in your country
and did not feel obligated to abide by your
laws.
These invaders of your country, who
come and go as they please, place many re-
strictons on your entering their sector. You
and your forefathers for generations have
equated this condition to the way of life advo-
Gated by the Americans and the Western
Europeans.
Imagine a new power appearing on the
horizon to threaten American and Western
European influence in your land This new

Our Public Relations Need
BY Robert Durr

Some years ago, in conjunction with my
editorial activities, took on the responsibility
of serving as public relations counselor to the
president of a great insurance company to
the end that the concern might present its
offering to the general public in the most at
tractive and effective manner
The company to begin with had the three
essentials for success II know how, p
capital, 81 organization and there was a cry
ing need for its progressive offerings.
Ny initial effort was to descriptively spell
out the company's offerings in an easy to re-
member five-word phrase and offer suggeS-
tons on the Importance Of building our sales
approach on what we have to offer in terms
of how our offerings were designed to give
the purchaser more for less. The president
tells me the company has grown tremendously
In the course of my public relations ac-
Invites, had discovered in the most progress
sive concerns and organizations that public re-
lations is generally regarded as an ndispensa-
bic facet of top management, because good
public relations creates and maintain a good
public atmosphere in which to sell ones pro-
ducts or services Another way of saying it:
"If John c. Public approves of you and yours
YOU can 20 to town If he disapproves, it Just
IS question of time before the undertaken
will move in"
One of the larger concerns in the deep
south found that its president received so
manv invitations to appear before many or
CARNATIONS which, If he accepted them ALL
would leave him little time to rightly perform
his chief executive duties.
The problem was solved by his hiring the
director of public relations of the local Cham
Der of Commerce to serve as his director OF
public relations.

Shall We Speak Loudly And White Down Our Stick?-
BY S. S. Taylor

It was former President Theodore Roose-
welt who coined the sentence, Speak softly
and carry big stick" The present perform
ance of our officials in cutting down defense
expenditures, laying plans to reduce the army
and actually cutting out the construction of
proposed war planes, leads one to wonder if
the present policy is not to Speak Loudly
and Whittle Down Our Stick"
We have served notice on the world that
Red aggressions in Indo-China and Korea will
not be tolerated in the future. We have organ
lied alliances in the furtherance of a con-
tainment policy against Red nations. We have
fearessly participated in ''cold war;. While
we have engaged in these activities, Red Rus
STA has repeatedly built up the largest army
and the largest airforee in the world. She
has made herself the arsenal of the Red
world, has given modern planes and weapons
to the hordes of Communist China and has
given every type of arms together with neces-
sary technical advice to the North Korean
aggressors.
1t is necessary to recognize the two-fold
nature and cause of the present world situa-
ton. 1t is not only a conflict of the opposing
PHILOSOPHERS of communism and democracy,
but 1t is almost a death grapple between op-
posing world powers.
The vast territories of Russia are hem
med in by bordering nations and ice-bound
seas. For years, the Russians have sought US
able ports and harbors and outlets to the
warm seas on which flows the commerce of
the world. England and France have at times
interposed their navies and armies to prevent
her expansion to the south, and Japan has
checked her acquisition of harbors in the East
Powerful Germany and beyond her the Eng
lish fleet have prevented expansion to the
West.
This nightmare of Russian aggression
was not created by the Communists. 1t was

Public is very necessary to their success. And
the more widely their policy is sold and

So you will find many well-versed, capa-

economic philosophers before various types Of
