Warning KEEN-WITTED, DAPPER LITTLE LAWYER sits back in his office in Lewiston and reflects that he is the fourth Democrat to be elected Governor of Maine since the Civil War. All he can see in the tremendous outpouring of Maine voters which upset Maine's normal Republicanism and elected him Governor by the narrow margin of some 2,500 votes is '"'a renewed interest in government and public affairs." But all over the rest of the country the Democratic victory in Maine is either joyously hailed or quietly recognized as a warning to the Republican party that the election of a Democratic President in, November is at least a possi- bility. It is even suggested that it might be looked on as a warning also to the Democrats not to be counting their November chickens in September. There is still time, remarks the pro-Roosevelt New York World-Telegram, "for campaign strategy or tactical blunders to change the public temperament." But President Hoover himself was moved to say to National Chairman Sanders: "The result of the election in Maine imposes need for renewed and stronger effort that the people may fully understand the issues at stake.' In New Hampshire, next door to Maine, Senator George H. Moses declares that the Republicans must realize the necessity con- fronting them to '"'organize and develop enthusiasm." And like a number of other Republicans, Senator Moses recalls that back in 1880 the Democrats elected a Governor in Maine in a Presidential year, but that in November a Republican, James A. Garfield, was elected President. Therefore, concludes the New Hampshire Senator, '"'the policy for Republicans henceforth is to remember 1880 and repeat the job." Senator Felix Hebert of Rhode Island, Eastern Republican campaign manager, professes confidence that his party will benefit by the Maine warning: ""With the menace of loose and dangerous political and economic leadership reaching out for every will-of-the-wisp, the next few weeks will see such a rallying of the responsible elements in our national life as no previous campaign has ever witnessed." Keystone-Underwood Louis Jefferson WN arvnauty, Democrats make the most of the Maine verdict. "The tide in this country has definitely turned from the Repub- lican leadership,' declares Presidential candidate Franklin 1D); Roosevelt in his telegram congratulating Governor-elect Brann on his election as ''a forerunner of the faith of the country in the Democratic party and its representatives." For once at least, says former Governor Harry Flood Byrd of Virginia, ''the results in Maine are a real barometer of the national sentiment." A Warning to Republicans Governor-Elect of Maine. But before we go any further, let us see what they think about it down in Maine. ''The results in Maine mean we can carry the State for Roosevelt in November" is the confident assertion of Democratic State Chairman John R. Dooley. But Republican State Chairman Daniel T. Field is just as sure that local issues were the determining factors, and insists that ''Hoover would have carried the State had he been running at this election." And when it: comes to the Maine papers, we find the Portland Evening Express (Ind.) asking, ''what did it?" and it can find "but one answer to this post-mortem query": "Tt was economic conditions. "The Democrats tried harder than they had done before in a generation, and that helped some. Prohibition may have added a little to the power of the Democratic surge. The party had an able and resource- ful candidate in Mr. Brann. These were fac- tors, but factors of minor importance. in Maine, and it has come because the people of the State who had toiled wearily and resentfully through the three long years of deprest business conditions were determined to show their resentment, and they took the opportunity which their moments in their election booths afforded them. '"Mr. Brann's election doesn't insure Herbert Hoover's defeat, but if the rest of the country feels at all the way Maine feels, the prospects are not encouraging." State, the Saco News, explains it like this: because they had suffered enough from the kind of Republicanism that has been in office since the advent of Mr. Harding at the White House. They have learned their lesson through sorrow and trouble, through unemployment and its consequent miseries." Brann, Democratic The Maine Sentinel of Waterville characterizes the voting as ''a, protest against the present economic conditions." A strong statement comes from the Portland Evening News (Ind. Rep.): "Tt may safely be prophesied on the face of this showing that the Democrats will sweep the nation in November and put Franklin D. Roosevelt in the White House." In rural Aroostook County the Houlton Times argues that in times of depression the voters almost always turn against the party in power, '"'the thought being that under a change of administration conditions could not be any worse."' "Economic conditions probably were a major factor," says the Augusta Kennebec Journal (Rep.), which adds that 'Prohibition had some minor influence.' It might be noted here that in the Maine campaign Republicans ran as drys, Democrats as wets, and that of the three Congressmen elected two were Democratic wets, replacing Republican drys, and one a Republican dry, who was reelected. The Bangor News (Rep.), which on election day morn- ing had predicted a Republican victory, now attributes the unex- pected defeat to hard times, Prohibition, factional fights, and a "There has come a political revolution Onz of the two Democratic papers in the ''Republicans voted the Democratic ticket. 6 THE CETERA RY sD Croan feeble Republican campaign. To conclude with a word from a Republican daily which is still cheerful, we find the Lewiston Journal declaring that ''the world has not come to an end, Maine will not vote against Mr. Hoover in November." Bor as we glance across the country there are plenty of Demo- cratic papers which are sure enough that Maine has foreshadowed Democratic success. The Cleveland Plain Dealer thinks the result '"'indicates a deep-seated conviction on the part of thou- sands of voters that a political change in the White House is desirable." ''It looks like a hard year on Hoover," comments the Dallas News in Texas. It is simply impossible to exaggerate the 'importance of so complete and so dramatic a victory," thinks the Providence News-Tribune: NORMAL REPUBLICAN MAJORITY 30-9000 "Tt is too complete a victory to be attributable to anything but a deep- seated determination to punish the Hoover Administration for its dismal record of incompetence and indifference to the human aspects of the panic. It upsets the Republican theory that wher- ever else their prospects might be black, they were rosy on the conservative Eastern front. It indicates that there is not a State in the Union to-day which may not, given the same organization and the same fighting spirit shown by the Democrats of Maine, be carried by the Democrats. Yet with all this, Dem- ocrats should beware of overoptimism. This glorious result in Maine does not mean that the country has been won, but that it can be won, and won hand- somely, if the Democracy will fight in- telligently for the victory." REPUBLICAN "Will not like causes produce like effects all over the country -- next November?" The question comes from the New York Times (Dem.), which continues: "This is the question which will make Republican managers haggard and sleepless from now till election day. They will feel that they have to deal with something imponderable, but probably invincible. If everything may go wrong in so supposedly firmly anchored a State as Maine, what may not happen elsewhere? No politician can now shut his eyes to the fact that a great mass of American voters are cherishing grievances against the Repub- lican party which they are at present disposed to wreak upon its eandidates in the Presidential election. This impalpable but real political drift may be unreasonable, illogical, and perfectly unfair toward President Hoover. But there it is." "A sTaTE heralds the action of a nation about to ask at the polls for a new deal," is the way the pro-Roosevelt Philadelphia Record sums it all up. And a leading editorial in the Hearst New York American concludes similarly: ''A mighty phalanx of States will soon move into line. Maine is only the first." And a Hoover paper like the New York Evening Post is hardly less imprest by the result in Maine. It says: '""No man in his senses can doubt that the Maine election of 1932 means that Franklin Roosevelt will almost certainly be elected President of the United States in November, and would certainly be so elected, were the election to-morrow." Similar declarations come from papers of all political faiths and from a number of political writers. Republican dailies, how- ever, while realizing that the Maine result is a danger signal, declare that it is also a call to action. The New York Herald Tribune calls upon every Republican to lend a hand in helping to convince the nation that 'nothing can be gained by a change of leadership in the present critical stage of national recovery," and "much can be lost." 'Republicans must fight and fight hard," agrees the Philadelphia Inquirer. If this ominous Maine result "serves to arouse the fighting spirit of the Republican The Deadly Indicator (Later returns doubled the Democratic majority) --Chasebel in the Washington ''Post." SEPTEMBER £24), © leOugez , party, the campaign may take on a different complexion," says the pro-Hoover Washington Post, and in the independent Washington Evening Siar we read: "The Maine election will serve to show the Republicans the desperateness of the fight they face. It should bring them to redoubled effort. There have been indications that sentiment was swinging to President Hoover in this Presidential contest. The Presidential election in November can not be settled by Maine's election in September. It should not be so settled. But it is clear that the Republican leaders have a great job on their hands. They must convince the voting public of the sound- ness of the Administration leadership. 'Republicans have won before when the case seemed hopeless. In 1896, when the late William Jennings Bryan was the Demo- cratic nominee for President for the first time, in September it appeared that nothing could stop the sweep of Democratic sentiment. But when the votes were counted in November, William McKinley was declared the winner. President Hoover may be able to repeat the performance of the late President MeKinley."' Ann a leading Republican daily of the Pacific coast, the San Francisco Chronicle, argues this way about it: "The election in Maine illustrates only what everybody knew before, that there is a hard-times reaction against the party in power. If the election had been a year ago, the reaction would have been much greater. Six months ago: it would have been less, and now it is still less. If the present drift continues, it will be very much less in November. The result of the election, then, will depend on how much less, and that may depend on things that have not yet hap- pened. Prophecy either way is futile.'': The wet angle of the Maine election is dwelt on by the Baltimore Sun (Ind. Dem.): '""The significance of the result is underscored by the fact that the lines were sharply drawn during the Maine campaign on the issue of Prohibition. The Republican candidate for the Governor- ship, and the Republican Congressional candidates as well, espoused the traditional Prohibition policy to which the people of Maine have adhered since the days of Neal Dow. Democratic candidates, on the other hand, not only indorsed the Chicago platform of their party, but actively argued the case for repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment on the stump. The Democratic victory, therefore, represents not only a reversal of the usual partizan trend, but also a reform movement on the issue of Prohibition, on which Maine had been regarded as immovable." W ivx Governor Roosevelt on a speaking tour of the agricul- tural West as the Maine returns were coming in, it seems to Clarence L. Linz of the New York Journal of Commerce that the significance of the Maine election ''can not be overlooked as manifesting a farm and wet revolt;" ''Maine like the Mid-West is largely agrarian." So it is interesting to note that, two days after the Maine election, Governor Roosevelt at Topeka outlined a farm-relief plan. The six points of this plan are summed up as follows by the United Press: "1. A tariff benefit over world prices which is equivalent to the benefits given by the tariff to industrial products. "2. The plan must finance itself. "3. It must not make use of any mechanism which would cause European customers to retaliate on the ground of dumping. "4. It must make use of existing agencies, and so far as pos- sible be decentralized in its administration, placing responsibility for operation upon the locality rather than upon Washington. "5. It must operate as nearly as possible on a cooperative basis, and it must strengthen the cooperative movement. "6. The plan must not be coercive. It must be voluntary."

D1GES.T First Poll Figures Give Hoover a Slight Lead PRETTY EVEN START for a long, hard race--that's the first impression one receives from the initial tabu- lation in Tur Diaxsv's Presidential poll. ""They're off''--almost neck and neck. One contestant shows slightly to the front. Hoover. It is President In other and less sporting terms, here is a small and scat- _tered array of 60,327 straw votes, of which 28,193 are for Hoover and 27,654 for Roose- velt, while the minor candi- dates divide 4,480 among them. It would be easy to attach too much importance, how- ever, to the positions of rivals at the very outset of a race. This mere handful of ballots, from five random States, hap- pen to be the first to come from the hands of our tab- ulators, after the long and intricate work of classifying them in the variety of ways made necessary by the com- plete information of previous voting, and so on, disclosed in a Lirrrary Digest poll. The relative positions of President Hoover and Gov- ernor Roosevelt in the voting at this initial stage of the poll is a cireumstance upon which sagacious students of the great straw vote will suspend their judgment. Ballots are now flowing back in a strong and increasing tide. Piles of incoming mail-bags disgorge them by the hundred thou- .sand. As fast as they arrive they are pounced upon by our examiners, counters, and tabulators. Hever stage of the statistical work involves a careful recheck- ing, but the progress is as rapid as Tue Dicsst's standards of accuracy will permit. At the gait our staff has struck now, next week's report is likely to embrace more than twice as many States, with a tabulation of votes multiplying this week's totals many times over. Will Hoover still be ahead? Will Roosevelt have passed his rival? Will they be running a neck-and-neck race? The tabulation on this page prompts those questions, but does not answer them. It does, however, contain much sugges- tive matter for study. Indiana, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia HOOVER 1932 Total Vote How the same Rep.

Vote are the States from which those 60,327 first-arriving ballots came flying home. Comparing the votes of the two major candidates by States, we find some surprizes--that is, they might be sur- prizes if this were the last instead of the first report of the poll. We find Hoover ahead in two States--Indiana and New York. We find Roosevelt ahead in three States--Ohio, Pennsyl- vania, and West Virginia. It is the early and fragmen- tary New York vote which gives the President his perhaps fortuitous lead at this stage of the poll. 'Teme to the columns showing how the same voters voted in 1928, we find nothing exciting on the Hoover side of the table. The number of his voters who voted the Dem- ocratic ticket four years ago is a mere bagatelle--about one- sixteenth of his total. Hardly any drift from the Democratic to the Republican side at this initial stage of the poll. But it's another story on the other side of the table. Of the 27,654 Roosevelt ballots, 10,- 927 voted for Hoover in 1928. Between a third and a half of the Roosevelt vote. Of course, the drift indications in this introductory tabulation are just as inconclusive as the relative positions of the candidates. Besides, so many Democrats voted for Hoover in 1928 that any such drift as the one under discussion might be simply a home- coming of Democrats to their normal party allegiance. After the Maine election (dealt with in our leading ''Topie''), the President's adherents may feel heartened by his starting off not so badly in the Diexst poll. It's pleasant to give encour- agement to a great national group which includes many Dieust readers, but we think it would be a mistake for them to bank too heavily on that encouragement, for the poll may show quite a different face next week or next month. Ox the other hand, of course, the figures may continue to smile on Mr. Hoover, and in that case we will advise the Roosevelt adherents (who also includemany Digrstreaders) not to despond, as the fortune of war may turn to them in the later stages of Or, if not--why, better luck next time!

You can't set aside this first- choice if you're looking for the biggest combination of safety, comfort, value and long mileage you can get in a tire. Knowing these facts, know- ing their own happy experi- ence, millions of motorists therefore say to themselves: '*Why buy any second-choice tire when FIRST-CHOICE COSTS NO MORE!" ON ANY OTHER SCIENCE AND INVENTION strations from The Vraveters' Standard (Hartford, Conn.) Light and Dark Streets--Broadway, Saratoga, and Euclid Avenue, East Cleveland Figures now prove that on the highway light means life and darkness, death. Street Lights and Motor Accidents HE CONNECTION BETWEEN THEM, which now seems well established, has been pointed out already in these pages. The latest investigation, carried out by the Travelers' Insur- ance Company, of Hartford, Connecticut, indicates that if an amount equal to the loss due to inadequate street-lighting were spent to make it better, it would wipe out this portion of the accident toll, as well as save thousands of lives. We read in The Travelers' Standard, the company's publication: "Having in mind the oft-repeated statement that inadequate street-lighting is a direct cause of automobile accidents, the Travelers made a survey of forty-six cities, ranging in population from 100,000 to several million inhabitants, and in location from coast to coast and from the Canadian line to the Mexican border. Since the survey covers the entire country and the whole year of 1931, we are enabled to take into account the influence of different seasonal, weather, and road- surface conditions. "We selected the three-hour period be- tween 5 P. M. and 8P. M. We find that the automobile-accident rate during these three consecutive hours is higher than that for any other three-hour period, or combi- nation of three-hour periods, of the day. "This three-hour period covers a portion of the day when the conduct of human af- fairs is similar during summer and winter: There is a heavy homeward-bound move- ment of office employees, 'movie' patrons, shoppers, and factory workers, by trolley, bus, automobile, and on foot, coupled with late-delivery trucking. This is followed by a heavy reverse flow of traffic, largely brought about by evening social engagements. "One of the differences between the two seasons is the greater likelihood of stormy weather and bad road surfaces in winter than in summer. But the most important difference, for present consideration, is the fact that in the summer months, on the day- light-saving schedule, or its equivalent, the 5 P. M. to 8 P. M. period is practically all daylight--the perfect light for traffic--while in the winter months it is all dusk or dark- ness. This natural darkness is tempered to some extent by street-lighting of various degrees of adequacy. 'We are inclined to give more weight to weather and road- surface conditions as causes of automobile accidents than is warranted by the facts. 'We have had rain in summer as well as in winter. Snow and ice on the streets are prevalent only in the winter months and, as a rule, only in the States contiguous to and north of the Mason and Dixon line.

National statistics show that 6.9 per cent. of all automobile accidents are due to skidding or bad road surfaces, and this leaves approximately 3 per cent. which result wholly and directly from weather conditions. 'Another factor is the fact that traffic is heavier during the summer months. Reports show that 25 per cent. more gasoline is used in the summer." Au this, the writer says, leads us to the vital difference be- tween the two seasons during this three-hour period, namely, our ability to see. Between 5 P. M. and 8 P. M., in the four summer months, there were 366 fatal automobile accidents and 9,519 additional accidents in which there were no fatalities. During the same hours, in the four winter months, there were 794 fatalities and 20.644 non-fatal accidents. He goes on: ""There is a logical increase (due to seasonal and road-surface conditions) in the number of winter months' accidents. Assuming this to- be 10 per cent., and adding it to the number of fatal accidents, we still have an increase of 392 fatal and 10,177 non-fatal accidents for the winter period. There seems to be no other conclusion than that this inerease is due largely, if not wholly, to inadequate illumi- nation and our resulting inability to see. ""We place the annual economic loss result- ing from automobile accidents at $2,500,- 000,000. This amount divided by the total number of accidents (860,000), gives $3,000 as the average economic loss per accident. "The amount of grief, suffering, and sacrifice occasioned by automobile accidents is comparable only to that brought about by modern warfare and its aftermath. In addition to the anguish of a large number of persons in these forty-six cities, $1.25 per year must be collected for every inhabitant to pay the cost of the additional accidents which occur each day. " According to our best information, present national expenditures for street-lighting are estimated at $85,000,000 annually. The average size of lamp used is 2,500 lumens (250 candle-power). The excess economic loss (winter over summer) in automobile accidents is $201,534,000. The addition of this sum to the present cost of street-lighting would make it possible to substitute a 15,000-lumen lamp (1,500 candle-power) for every lamp now used. The expenditure of this additional sum would inevitably reduce the accident rate not only in the 5 P. M. to 8 P. M. period of the four winter months, but also during all the hours of darkness in all twelve months. We are convinced that such an increase would eliminate the great majority of all traffie accidents now chargeable to lack of light. Seldom indeed does an opportunity present itself for a community to spend a given sum of money with so great a prospect of handsome returns." accidents from %, ShPeeM BER] 24. 1932 Mteets TERIARY DIGEST Twenty Cents out of every Dollar of the income of the people is the cost of government in the United States HE United States, your State, your City or your County must depend on taxa- tion to pay its current expenses, to carry on its undertakings, to pay off its bonds. -- PER CENT OF YEAR 1915 _ Every one---rich or poor--bears a share in the tax burden. j Teo eles --« Some pay income taxes, estate or inheri- tance taxes, specific duties or excise taxes.

DIGEST Frameless Steel Houses DEVELOPMENT IN HOME CONSTRUCTION, now under way in Cleveland, in which fabricated sheet steel is used, factory-assembled into walls and floors, then electrically welded, will provide frameless steel houses, insulated and fireproof, at low costs. E. F. Mead, building manager of the Westinghouse Company, states that it is cooperating with the American Rolling Mills Company in the construction of the first home of this type in the village of Solon, just outside of Cleveland. Says a press bulletin issued by the News Department of the Westinghouse Company (Hast Pittsburgh, Pa.): "The new method will probably change all existing practises in home construction, since all operations have been so simplified, so many advantages have developed by factory assembly of various units, that houses may be completed in about fifteen days. The costs may be low, and they permit the installation of modern finishing materials and equipment, so that the work- man may easily have a home ordinarily associated with living standards of the well-to-do business man. Insulated Steel, Inc.- Robert Smith, Jr., Architect How the New Steel House Will Look "Sheet steel metal, with boxlike corrugations, form the building walls. The walls are fabricated in the factory in large sections, room-wide and story-high, with window-frames and spandrels welded in. These sections are so light that one man ean easily lift them. Rolled steel sheets, pressed into Z sections, are welded into floor forms at the factory. Then these sections are hauled to the building site like stage settings. '"A metal cap is laid on the masonry foundation wall. Then the wall sections are raised, placed on the metal cap, and welded together. "Developments in electric-are welding, states Mr. Mead, are responsible for much of the ease of construction. Portable are welders permit flexibility of assembly, in the factory and on the job. Spot welding, each weld requiring about five seconds to complete, make the new building assembly as simple an operation as sewing cloth together. One welding outfit is all that is necessary for the erection of a home. "The exterior of the house, heavily insulated against heat or cold, will consist of Celotex, one inch in thickness, fastened to the sheet-metal walls. Over that will be nailed porcelain enamel shingles. These shingles, in colors, forever solve the painting problem. 'Both shingles and Celotex will be nailed to the walls. A tempered, spirally threaded nail has been developed which can be driven more easily and rapidly into metal than ordinary nails ean be driven into wood. ''On the interior, wall board and plaster will be used. Bath and kitchen walls will be finished in linoleum. "The steel floors will be coated with a layer of mastic, acting as a sound-deadener and also as an adhesive. Over this the floor covering will be laid. "Ceilings will consist of acoustical tile. The first Armeo frame- less steel house will have a flat roof, with a solarium built on top. The roof will also serve as a porch. Built-up asphalt will cover the steel and thin pieces of slate will provide a walking surface." SEPTEMBERI2Z4,519a0 Every known electrical convenience will be provided, particu- larly in the kitchen. Micarta panels, a new material which makes possible permanent and beautiful decorative effects, will also have a place in the home. To conclude: '"Mills G. Clark, former president. of the Cleveland Real Estate Board, who developed the new frameless method of con- struction, hopes to be able to market a seven-room modern home and garage at a price considerably lower than the same house can be built according to ordinary construction methods. "The basic idea of the new project,according to Mr. Mead, is that as production can be increased, costs of this new type home will steadily go down." é Can We Tell a Crook by His Looks? NE OF THE MOST POPULAR BELIEFS is that you can, and that upright character and worthiness have also certain physiological marks, mostly facial. But the worst liars, says a writer in The American Weekly (New York), are those with candid, clear eyes, who let their gaze -dwell innocently and limpidly upon their victims most of the time they are talking. For many years scientists have been trying to discover just. what basis of truth, if*amy,; there is in this ancient idea of a 'criminal type." We read: "Recently, Prof. Earnest A: Hooton, of Harvard, made comparative mea- surements of 16,000 American erimi- nals and 2,000 non-criminal Amer- icans. He came to the conclusion that while there seemed to be some physio- logical differences, there are so many worthy people who have one or more of the same characteristics that it is literally impossible definitely to 'tell a crook by his looks.' ""Years ago, the famous Italian anthropologist, Dr. Cesare Lombroso, speeified certain sigas, such as the 'eriminal ear,' as indications of de- generacy and criminality. Later, an English prison physician, Dr. Charles Goring, listed so many exceptions that the whole idea was abandoned. "The 'low-brow' theory is another exploded idea. Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, of the Smithsonian Institution, finds that Negroes actually do have higher foreheads, on the average, than whites, but there is nothing in his figures to indicate any relation between height of brow and either criminality or intelligence. "The 'weak-chin' theory is another baseless myth. Actually, as has been pointed out by Dr. Milo Hellman, of the American Museum of Natural History, the chief things that influence the shape of the chin probably are diet and the conditions of one's glands. "Flat noses, claw-shaped hands, certain lines or markings in the palms, thick necks, and short, heavy-trunked bodies all have been pointed to as indications of criminal tendencies, but scientific men take none of these indications seriously. "What is much more likely, they insist, is that a whole series of bodily indications might be found to go with the real criminal type. Also, the scientists expect to find many exceptions to the general rules." ims is suggested, we are told, by the recent work of Professor Hooton. Three questions were proposed by him, as follows: "One was whether different kinds of criminals are distinguished by bodily signs according to the kinds of crimes that they com- mitted. The answer, he reported, is yes. The average murderer, for example, does differ in body and features from the average forger or the average bootlegger. "The second question was whether all criminals differ, on the average, from ordinary, law-abiding citizens. Again, the answer is that they do; chiefly in that the criminals as a class are inferior to the average population in bodily size, strength, and so on. "The third question was whether different races or racial SEPTEMBER 24, Lez . . ~ ist & . Heimer st WwERIACROY? D1G.ES'T Zp Pint i ee or tii it Precrous Carceo! Your CHILDREN. About them is centered your very life. In motor car or trolley or train or other conveyance, they are to you the most precious cargo in the world. Instinctively you are apprehensive and alert for their comfort and safety. But there is one conveyance in which you give not one thought to comfort and safety--the modern* ele- vator. It starts and stops so carefully. It follows its path upward and downward so surely and easily. It works so steadily and silently, there really is no reason for you to bother your head about it. It is the work of engineers of Otis Elevator Company which has made the elevator the convenient and de- pendable vertical conveyance it is today. And it is their work which has brought the modern* elevator within easy reach of every building owner. For they have not only created revolutionary mechanism for new elevators, but have likewise adapted this mechanism to the elevators already in use. And thus, under the Otis Modernization Plan, these older elevators need not be scrapped, but can be made to give the conveniences and comforts of an entirely new installation. To them can be given the benefits of the Otis self-leveling cars, Otis automatic door openers and closers, Otis signal control, these and all the other ingenious things per- fected and put into practical use by Otis engineers. So, if you are not getting the best of elevator service and comfort in your building, speak to the owner about it. Tell him he should look into this Otis Moderniza- tion Plan. It has been devised for him. It is to his advantage to make use of it. He can quickly learn just how reasonably his elevators can be modernized by having the engineers of Otis make a survey of his elevator system. This service is free. Just telephone the local Otis office. *4 modern elevator is not necessarily new. It can be an old one made modern through the Otis Modernization Plan. OTIS ua COMPANY TH EML TREIRVAIRAY* Dal Giksan 26 groups differ in their tendencies to crime, a matter obviously of great practical importance in deciding which kinds of im- migrants to admit to the United States. Once more, the report is that such racial differences do exist, altho the data have not vet been published. "Most interesting, perhaps, of the conclusions which Pro- fessor Hooton did announce is the picture which he draws from the actual facts of human measurement and not from theory, concerning the kind of person who is found guilty of first-degree murder. These murderers differ from the average criminal, he states, in being taller and heavier : in body, in having narrower foreheads and wider jaws, in having less hair on their heads but more of it on their bodies, in having less curly hair, in having longer and larger heads, in having fewer and poorer teeth, and in a higher percentage of hooked noses. 'Aven more interesting, in the light of Lombroso's older ideas, is the fact disclosed by Professor Hooton's data that persons convicted of murder differ from the average person convicted of other crimes in having broader, flatter, and more protruding ears, and in having more sloping, 'low-brow' foreheads. "There is no doubt that this picture of the average murderer disclosed by Professor Hooton's data does resemble, altho not com- | pletely, the popular 'gorilla' type of gangster and bad man. 'Where science and the public idea differ, however, is that the scientists admit and expect many exceptions. "Recently in England a commission stud- ied the problem of the habitual e¢riminal, who comes back again and again before the courts or into the jails. Release from one punishment is merely the signal for another erime. A few weeks ago this commission made a report listing, among other things, three sharply different kinds of individuals distinguishable, they believe, in this habitual eriminal class. "One consists of feeble-minded persons and others suffering from more or less definite kind of mental disease, like the kleptomaniaecs who can not help stealing no matter how hard they try. '"A second group includes weak and inferior individuals who drift into crime to make a living. "The third group, markedly different from these, includes the strong, masterful persons who go into crime as a pro- fession; individuals whose chief trouble seems to be a violent mental revolt against society." Wrong Eagle on Washington Coin HE bald or white-headed eagle, chosen by the founders of the Republic as the national emblem, has been cheated out of a place on the Washington memorial twenty-five-cent piece just issued, according toa Wire Report of Sczence Service (Washington). The bird that roosts on the reverse of the new coin has feath- ered ''trousers'"' coming down to his feet, which marks him as a golden eagle. The golden eagle is native to the Old World as well as to America, and is displayed by the coats-of-arms of several Euro- pean nations. The bald eagle, a strictly American bird, has the '""trousers'' only in his juvenile stage; when mature he is bare- shanked. We read further: "The bald eagle is correctly shown on all save one of the other United States coins where an eagle appears at all. The other exception is the half-dollar that came into use just before the World War, on which a 'trousered' golden eagle is shown. On all the older coins, bearing a 'displayed' eagle with a shield on its breast, the bird, tho unnaturally flattened out in a heraldic convention, is unmistakably a bald eagle. "At least one of the Fathers of the Republic would doubtless applaud the dethronement of the bald eagle if he were still living. Benjamin Franklin disapproved very strongly the choice of the bald eagle as the American emblem, stating that the bird was thievish as well as rapacious, and 'generally lousy' to boot. In this opinion the great early American naturalist, Audubon, heartily concurred." California's Mephisto Leering down on Capels Creek Canyon from the mountainside.

As a competitor to New Hampshire's famed Old Man of the Mountain, in Franconia Notch, she now offers a sneering mountain devil, horns and all. : ' Says E. M. Muse, of the State Highway Department, in Calz- fornia Highways and Public Works (Sacramento) : '""At an elevation of about 8,500 feet, jutting from the end of an ancient lava-flow near the Alpin State Highway, was found a marvelous freak of nature. Overlooking Capels Creek Canyon and the forbidding voleanie jungle of Hell's Delight, this relic of cosmic upheaval, shown in the adjoining column, is offered by its discoverer as one of the most unique specimens of rock forma- tions ever found. "Climbing among the rocks of the high ridge that rises between Amador and Alpine counties, in making a turn around the nose of a cliff, I came upon his majesty, 'Mephis- topheles of the Mountains.' The demoniac ensemble is almost perfect. Note the leering profile, the sinister sneer, the horn on his head, the wart on his nose; all emphasized by the protruding beak, heavy eyelid, and set jaw. Note, too, the trueness to life in the relative size and proportion of facial features. "As if presiding with fiendish demeanor, here for unknown centuries, he has looked down into the rugged wilderness, through which the undaunted Kit Carson blazed his trail. into California. This devil's head of black lava measures about seven feet from chin to crown. It can not be seen from the highway, and can only be found by a stren- uous climb and hike along the crest of the lava ridge to the east of Silver Lake. With the exception of retouching out a dark spot of background beyond the profile, the photo has not been altered." Making Children Grow ROWTH MAY BE REMARKABLY stimulated by diet, according to reports of recent experiments by Dr. Summerfeldt, described in Good Health (Battle Creek, Mich.). By feeding eleven children on a diet in which were large quanti- ties of vitamin B and extra supplies of other vitamins and min- erals, he succeeded in securing a rate of gain nearly five times the ordinary amount. Says Good Health: "The dietary by which this extraordinary rate of growth was secured consisted chiefly of farina, oatmeal, corn-meal, and wheat germ. One per cent. each of brewer's yeast and alfalfa leaf-meal were included. Besides the above plant foods, 2 per cent. of bone-meal was given, probably to supply lime, but an abundance of this element should have been found in the alfalfa, meal, the wheat germ and oatmeal; or, if more was needed, another portion of the alfalfa meal would easily have supphed it. Bone-meal may be suitable for lions, tigers, and other carnivorous beasts, but is not a proper constituent for a human bill of fare. "This experiment clearly demonstrates the tremendous im- portance of diet regulation, especially during the growing period. It is certainly not a pleasant thought that many thousands of children are stunted in their development by wrong feeding, and yet there seems to be no escaping this conclusion. Children while dependent upon their parents are in the position of in- terned prisoners. They must eat what is given them. If they are inadequately fed, their parents or guardians are responsible for the consequences. "With this new and rather startling information concerning the possibility of securing a notable increase in stature merely by adding a few inexpensive items to the bill of fare, it is easy to beheve in the possibility of realizing the late Mr. Burbank's forecast of a new human race within six generations by the thoroughgoing application of scientific methods of race im- provement.''

The revisions were brought about by 1931's staggering list of football fatalities estimated as high as forty-nine, altho some argue that it is unjust to attribute so many deaths di- rectly to the game. Some of the new rules, according to a summary by Arthur Siegel in the Boston Herald, ''govern the padding of equipment. Again, there is the rule which declares the ball dead at the spot if any part of the ball carrier, except his hands or feet, touches the ground. The rule which per- mits a player to return to the game at any time except in the quarter he is withdrawn also is destined to relieve strain and exer- tion."

They will play a regu- larly scheduled game in Philadelphia on December 3. Does this truce presage more athletic peace treaties? Will Harvard and Princeton kiss and make up? And Co- lumbia and New York University? Will football feel the pinch of hard times? Not only at the gate, but on the field as well? "What with the depression and the consequent necessity of young men think- ing less about football, and, incidentally, , about higher education--or vice versa-- and more about doing their bit for the family exchequer in such marts of trade as happen to be recruiting new blood, the football coach does not feel in a position to count too heavily upon his material,'' Ser PeWVib ERs 24> 1932 Lawrence Perry writes in a Consolidated Press dispatch. ''Full many a gridiron gem of purest ray serene will be lost this year in the dark, unfathomed caves of office buildings unless bureaus of self- help find themselves able to meet an un- accustomed demand upon their resources."

Mors questions-- What teams will emerge as the real big- time leaders when such gridiron jugger- nauts as Southern California, Notre Dame, Army, Navy, Harvard, Yale, Georgia, Alabama, and New York University tangle? . What stars will replace such thrill dis- pensers as Ernie Pinckert, MarchySchwartz, and Albie Booth? : The coaches haye been indulging in the preseason pessimism that is a traditional part of the game. To hear them tell it during the past two or three weeks, any one of the big teams will be lucky to win a game this fall.

Davis writes inthe LosAngeles Herald and Express: Southern California, California, Oregon State, Stanford, Washington, Washington State, Oregon, University of California at Los Angeles, Idaho, Montana. When I prest the old man for his reasons for this rating, he immediately answered "material." "Southern California and California have been the best material on the Pacific coast," he drawled, ''while Oregon State has some mighty fine, big players whom I expect to make quite a showing." Warner then was asked about his own material. He thought a minute, and then a playful smile stole over his lips as he an- swered: Tite Teme AR Y DIGEST wear FOO Care of his Gums is a Mystery. . and he has "PINK TOOTH BRUSH"!

And to make sure that he was not mis- understood in having his little joke, Warner broke out in a loud laugh. Now: let us transfer our attention to the sunny South--or the starry South, since we're thinking in terms of star football players. Here we discover Frank Thomas, coach of the Crimson Tides of Alabama, saying, ''Don't be silly!'' with great ve- hemence whenever his brother coaches hint that Alabama is in for a big year. Thomas himself, according to Ed Miles's account in the Atlanta Journal, rates his own boys third among the leading Southern teams. Here's his order, writes Mr. Miles: Tulane, Tennessee, Alabama, Vanderbilt, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Alabama Poly- technic, Florida. _ The pick of Harry Mehre, of Georgia, coincided with Thomas's choice with the exception of Alabama's being given the first rating. Mehre's comment on his Georgia team is summed up in the simple statement that 'Tt will be an interesting year." His greatest problem, he says, is at the guards, from which place he lost those four sterling men, Leathers, Maddox, Bennett, and Patterson. Davis and Opper give some promise at the tackles, he said, and Turbyville and Batchelor have the looks of two good ends. '"'In fact,' he said, in summing up the situation, "'we will have a good-looking team, all right, but what it will do remains to be seen. It will be in an interesting year, all right."' dive the East selecting the outstanding teams of the section is surprizingly like groping for gold in a pile of sand, in the estimation of Stanley Woodward, who continues in the New York Herald Tribune: We were imprest by the possibilities of the Columbia squad when it reported for duty in the sweltering heat. New York University has the man power to do well under its new coach, Jake Cann, '20. Cornell will be strong. Pittsburgh will be up to standard. Colgate can be counted on. Syracuse has bright hopes, and Yale seems to be strategically placed. Yale looks definitely better on a basis of material than Harvard and Princeton at this stage. Harvard lost all its backs by graduation. Princeton, under its new coach, ' Fritz'' Crisler, is hopeful, tho it faces a serious assignment in tackling Columbia on its second Saturday of the season. Crisler did a great deal to further organization and spirit during spring practise, but the nature of the schedule is against him. While on the subject of the smaller col- leges it is worth while to note that Amherst, long in a football slump, is blossoming out with a new and thoroughly trained coach this year. He is Lloyd Jordan, who played under '"'Pop'' Warner at Pittsburgh and helped Andy Kerr coach Colgate. He is expected to introduce the Warner system. Williams and Wesleyan, other members of the '' Little Three,"' will continue under the respective direction of Charley Caldwell and Andrew James ''Swede"' Oberlander. The Pennsylvania colleges seem equipped to maintain the high football standard of their State. Pittsburgh probably will be the best of them. Lafayette, Washington and Jefferson, and Lehigh have hopes. * SEPMPEMVABE Roa24 , 19:32 te epi RTE RAR Y Dl GEST 3] Babe Ruth Picks His All-America Baseball Team HO are this year's brightest spar- klers in baseball's diamond crown? Mae, Re Z, dl by Every one has his favorites. Wherever you go you'll hear the praises 99 of Gehrig and Jackson and Manush and f 2 Klein and Wilson and Averill and Combs, re, aon OM. to say nothing of the great Ruth himself (whose recent indisposition so worried the me fans), and the foxy Foxx who, at this writing, has so good a chance to shatter the Babe's home-run record of sixty. Every fan will, with little or no urging, pick an all-star team. A lot of them have done it already. But gather around while one of the biggest players of the game, who is also one of the most rabid fans, makes his own selections out of personal knowl- edge that we all must envy. In fewer words, Babe Ruth has picked his annual All-America baseball team. It is copyrighted by the Christy Walsh Syndicate, and we quote it from the New York Evening Journal. Here are the Ruthian all stars: Left-field, O'Doul, Brooklyn National; short-stop, Cronin, Washington American; center-field, Averill, Cleveland American; right-field, Klein, Philadelphia National; first base, Foxx, Philadelphia American; second base, Lazzeri, New York American; eatcher, Dickey, New York American; third base, Traynor, Pittsburgh National; pitcher, Grove, Philadelphia American; pitcher, Warneke, Chicago National. Tus is a big job of picking, of course, and the Babe can't be expected to do it unaided. He has the assistance of a news- paper committee representing many parts of the country. The workings of the plan the Babe explains thus: "YES, I LIKE to smoke Granger tobacco. During my time, I have tried all kinds of tobacco; but, frankly, I have never Each member sends in his choice of the All-America team. I compare my choice with theirs, weigh the possibilities and then make my selection. The committee and members of the All- American Board of Baseball which worked with me in the selection of this 1932 team consisted of the following: Jack Malaney, Boston Post; Warren Brown, Chicago Herald-Examiner; Tom Swope, Cincinnati Post; Ed Bang, Cleve- land News; Bud Shaver, Detroit Times; W. S. Farnsworth, New York Evening Journal; James Isaminger, Philadelphia Inquirer; Harry Keck, Pittsburgh Sun- Telegraph; John EH. Wray, St. Louis Post- Dispatch; Kirk Miller, Washington Times. The vote of this committee for players © 1932, Liccert & was as follows: Myers Topacco Co. First base--Foxx, 8; Gehrig, 2. Short-stop--Cronin, 8; Gelbert, 1; Bar- tell, 1.

Yet there is no reason why one should assume this responsibility unprepared. There are just three things to do: First, choose your funeral director in advance of need. Choose him as you would your doctor or your lawyer. Measure him by his reputation and his clentele-- and also by the quality of his merchandise. Second, send for and keep "FU- NERAL FACTS," a booklet which tells you everything you should know about the making of funeral arrange- THE' LUT ERAR ¥ PD CRS ments. You will find the new chapter on funeral costs, the result of a survey conducted with the help of funeral directors everywhere, particularly interesting. Third, when the need arises, re- member to ask for a National Casket. You can identify it by the trade- mark. Then, whether you choose a costly or inexpensive design, you will know that you have selected the best value. For National Caskets cost no more. Send for "FUNERAL FACTS" now.

Look for the National Trade- mark on the casket you buy. NATIONAL CASKET COMPANY, INC. Display Rooms in Thirty Cities--National Cashets Are Available Everywhere But Only Through Funeral Directors SEPT EMR ER ZS Sasa seen that my selections agree in eight of ten players, with one other being tied in the consensus vote. The lone difference is in the choice of pitchers. I rate the four pitchers listed above as the top four of the year, but I put them in a different order. My rating puts Grove at the top and Gomez third, because I regard Grove as the greatest pitcher now in the game. Of the team I have chosen Pie Traynor is making his fifth appearance, as he was chosen in 1926-27-29 and '31. Thisis the fourth consecutive choice for Grove, and the third straight for both Klein and Cronin. Averill was named for the 1931 team, and Foxx was on my 1929 team. O'Doul, Lazzeri, Dickey, and Warneke are newcomers. Meanwhile Al Simmons is off after being chosen for five consecutive years, and Cochrane is off after four years in a row and an earlier selection in 1925. Now for the players and the reasons why Babe picked them: . Jimmy Foxx is my choice for first base, and if all the selections were as easy as this one was I am quite sure there would be no arguments. Foxx has been out- standing in a season when first basemen have been particularly prominent. The competition for the second-base post has been very keen, but I have had an added advantage this year in seeing so much of Tony Lazzeri, whose eomeback to the ranks of baseball's head-liners has been one of the real features of the season. For the third consecutive year I have chosen Joe Cronin for short-stop, and I must add here what I have mentioned in my previous selections of this sterling player. There is something about Cronin which does not show in the averages, but one can never mistake it when seeing him play. He is a spark-plug on any team of which he is a member. Always hustling and fighting, at his best in the pinches with runners on base, he has imprest me as a great player ever since he came into the league. A very familiar figure appears at third base in the person of '' Pie" Traynor, who was my choice a year ago, as well as in three earlier campaigns. I have been told that Traynor is not the player he was, which is to be expected, for he has been guarding that far turn for a number of years. As these selections are made, Traynor is leading all third basemen in hitting, and he still has enough fielding skill and gen- eral knowledge of the fine points of third- base play to make him the best of the group. Left-field this year goes to Lefty O'Doul, who has been the leading hitter in the National League for some time, and who, as this is written, tops all other major- league batsmen. O'Doul played a big part in the pennant drive of the Dodgers, both with his bat and defensively. I have chosen Earl Averill for center- field, chiefly on his powerful hitting, but that does not mean he is lacking in a de- fensive way. His chief rivals for the place have been Earl Combs, of the Yankees, and Lloyd Waner, of the Pirates. Chuck Klein gets the right-field place with something to spare, Ruth's article for the Walsh Syndicate runs on: He was my choice in 1930 and 1931, and I feel that he stands out over all rivals this year to an even greater extent. He has taken part in every game played by his team as these lines are written, and he leads his league in number of hits, in cA a . i Lon a Se Page MOB E:Rt 249 19°32 runs scored, in home runs, and in total bases, besides being second in runs batted in, second in triples, and tied for second in doubles. Bill Dickey has come forward as a high- class workman behind the bat, a steadying influence for pitchers, and as a hitting power whose value to his team is consider- able. I agree with the newspaper com- mittee in rating Dickey as the best catcher of the year. As in other years I am naming two pitchers. Last year, for the first time, I picked two southpaws--Grove and Brandt. This year one of each will be found in my selection. I regard Grove as the greatest pitcher of the present time, and place him first, tho he has suffered more defeats than either Warneke or Gomez. As for Warneke, his ability to go the route and win low score games, gives him 'the call for second place on the team. He has been the star of his league all year. To-Morrow's Sport Heroes AKE your pick! Would: you rather-- Win a ball game with a home run? Win a fight with a knockout blow? Score an eagle three on a 530-yard, par five hole? Or would you rather-- Fly over the Andes alone with your broken ankles in plaster-casts as Jimmy Doolittle has done? Send radio messages with Al Williams, from a plane flying upside down? Or go with Gar Wood for an unofficial trial of his newest and most powerful speed-boat, and hit the breath-taking clip of 124 miles an hour? Paul Gallico of the New York Daily News has been out to the Cleveland Air Races and the Harmsworth Trophy races in Detroit. He has been thinking over the future of sport, and has come to the con- clusion that the pilots of planes, the drivers of fast cars and boats, are going to replace ball players, prize-fighters, golfers, and the like in the affections of the sport-loving public. Making his own choice between the two kinds of thrills involved, he unhesitatingly chooses the thrill of speed, and continues in his article in The Daily News: Are these the sport heroes of to-morrow, these men whose deeds I have been re- porting--Doolittle, Haizlip, Ben Howard, Al Williams, Gar Wood, Kaye Don? I rather think so. A baseball pitcher who strikes out twelve or fourteen men or throws a no-hit game has brought his art to a fine point. It is something to write about, but give me Gar Wood, the old gray fox, sitting behind the wheel of his thunder-boat, Miss America X, choking with gas from his exhaust, battered by wind and spray, bounced, rattled, and jounced, hardly able to breathe, yet grinning his half-boy, half-fiend's grin, waving to Orlin Johnson, his mechanic, to open her up and send her to hellangone. The English hold the speed-boat record [says the writer in a subsequent article, a paragraph of which we interpolate] but they won't have that one after Gar Wood has his official speed test, because his boat will go 124 miles an hour on a straightaway TRB IT ERAANRY "DILG EST FUL-VUE GLASSES 33 The same girl, but differ- ent glasses.

Doolittle is the man who flew an airplane over the Andes with both of his legs in plaster-casts. The legs were in a cast because they were broken. He broke them by wandering off a six-foot balcony in the dark--after years of flying without serious injury. The reason he flew his ship over the Andes with both legs in plaster-casts _ was because he wanted to get to Buenos Aires to demonstrate Curtiss pursuit ships against a French competitor. : While there, some one suggested he put - on a dog fight with the Frenchman. They did. The Frenchman left the air after five minutes of it. He said: ''That man is crazy. He tried to erash into me." Jimmy came down and wanted to know why the Frenchman wouldn't play any more. They told him. 'Hell,' said Jimmy, "I don't know what he was worry- ing about. I didn't come within six inches of him." Queens of the Sport of Kings VERY day is ladies' day at the race- track--and not by courtesy, either, now that women horse-owners are coming to take an important part in affairs of the turf, which has so long been regarded as a masculine domain. As a matter of fact, every important American stake has been won at one time or another by a horse wearing a woman's . colors. So Mary Margaret McBride tells us in Cosmopolitan Magazine, as she reminds us of the queens of the sport of kings. Sarazen, Reigh Count, Man o' War, Twenty Grand, and many another famous nag were and are the property of women. The Hopeful, ''Saratoga's famous clas- sic," has four times been won by women, Miss McBride tells us as she outlines the part women are playing in racing circles: In 1923, by Mrs. Walter M. Jeffords, with Diogenes; in 1926, by Mrs. Charles M. Amory, with Lord Chaucer; in 1927, by Mrs. Dodge Sloane, with Brooms; and last year by Mrs. Louis G. Kaufman, with Tick On. For that matter, all the important stakes on the American turf have been captured at one time or another by a woman--the Jockey Club Gold Cup; the $50,000 prize money of the Kentucky Derby; the Belmont Stakes, $60,000; the Futurity, $100,000; the Hopeful, $50,000; the Saratoga Cup; the Pimlico Futurity, $50,000; the Pimlico Cup; the Metropoli- tan and many coveted steeplechases.

STETSON COMPANY Philadelphia New York London Paris TEE SLT BRIAR? (DIG EST stakes in America, a weight-for-age race, and therefore a real test. of stamina, has been won three times by horses owned by women: Mrs. J. D. Hertz's Reigh Count in 1928; Mrs. Henry Carnegie Phipps's Diavolo in 1929 and, in 1931, by Mrs. Payne Whit- ney's Twenty Grand. The beautiful Saratoga track with its flowers and artificial lake is a special favor- ite with the women owners. Most of them own or rent cottages which they fill with guests during the season. The real en- thusiasts are up in the morning to see their horses gallop; they give breakfasts and luncheons in their stable kitchens and waste little time on dress. So many women now race horses at Saratoga in August and at Belmont Park in the spring and autumn that races ex- clusively for them have been set up, with alluring vanity cases and cups for prizes. But, on the whole, the American track welcomes women on the same terms as men. Meas. PAYNE WHITNEY, whose greatest horse was Twenty Grand, "began racing nearly a generation ago.'"' And here are some other ladies listed by Miss McBride as prominently identified with the turf: Mrs. Henry Carnegie Phipps, sister of Ogden Mills, Secretary of the Treasury, and joint owner with him of the Wheatley Stable; was brought into the sport by the late Harry Payne Whitney, largest owner and breeder in America. Mr. Whitney, who was always working to make racing thrive, heard Mrs. Phipps say that she would like to own a féw horses. Knowing she would be an asset to the turf, he was anxious to help her. "Tf you like,"' he said, ''T'll let you have some of my yearlings.'"' She jumped at the offer. Then he selected several young- sters, and out of the lot she had the as- tounding luck to get five outstanding stake winners, including Diavolo, Dice, and Distraction. No woman owner had more phenomenal beginner's luck than did Mrs. John D. Hertz of Chicago, whose Leona Stable in Illinois was named for her daughter, also an expert horsewoman. Mrs. Hertz had at the outset of her career two great champions, Anita Peabody, the filly that won the Futurity at Belmont Park, out- standing world event for two-year-olds, and Reigh Count. Reigh Count, bought at the bargain price of $12,500 from Willis Sharpe Kilmer, won close to $200,000. Next year, his son and Anita Peabody's will make a début under the Hertz colors. Another woman associated with the name of one of the world's greatest horses is Mrs. S. D. Riddle, who with her husband is part owner of the immortal Man o' War. Mrs. Walter M. Jeffords, niece of Mrs. Riddle, is at her farm in Berlin, Maryland, almost every spring when her horses are being trained. Mrs. Charles Minot Amory, former wife of the late Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, has an extensive stable and breeds most of her own horses in Maryland, racing under the nom de course of the Sagamore Stable. Mrs. Graham Fair Vanderbilt, who raced under the name of Fair Stable, came on the turf as an owner in 1923, when she bought the first Sarazen for $35,000. This horse carried her silks to twenty-seven victories, including the International Match with the French champion Epinard at Latonia. 3D THAT'S THE JONES' CAR - ISNT IT SHABBY! - THEY MUST BE PRETTY BADLY HiT/ OH- MR JONES - WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NEW CARI SPEED BLEND DU PONT'S NEW NO.7 DUCO POLISH HE finish underneath the Traffic Film is as bright as it was when your car was new.

''Hushed and expectant," the gallery of 15,000 looked on, The gathering at Forest Hills, Long Island, was probably the largest crowd that ever witnessed a tennis match in the United States. On one side, Ellsworth Vines, Jr., the lanky, tanned, California youngster, who won't be twenty-one for a few days, bat- tling for his second United States na- tional singles title. He stood on the base-line, writes Fred Hawthorne in the New York Herald Tribune, ''measuring the height of the net and Cochet's posi- tion on the opposite court." Henri Cochet, the compact little French- man, who succeeded Big Bill Tilden as king of the world's tennis-courts, ''awaited the blow, the ghost of a smile on his face." Then it came, continues Mr. Hawthorne, 'a white ball that appeared to have been shot from a cannon. Cochet swung and missed cleanly. The ball bounded and flew into the stadium seats. Cochet's hopes flew with it, and Ellsworth Vines, Jr., was hailed as the world's supreme tennis- player." He had defeated Cochet with surprizing ease in a three-set match by a score of 6--4, 6--4, 6--4. Waen Vines won his first national title a year ago, some shook their heads and wondered if he'd be just another one-year champion. His early play this year, which fell short of his standard, caused still more head-shaking. But Vines has put an end to all that. In addition to his title of last year, glance over his achievements for 1932 as Allison Danzig lists them in the New York Times: In addition to carrying off the champion- ship trophy, and thus becoming the first player to win the title two years running since Tilden scored his sixth successive vic- tory in 1925, Vines also captured the cham- pionship at Wimbledon; annexed the na- tional doubles with Keith Gledhill; gained the first victory scored over Cochet in Davis Cup singles play since the trophy left this country, and won the Newport singles, the only grass-court tournament in which he competed in the United States this season. His double victory in the English and American championships marks him as the first American to accomplish this feat in more than a decade, Tilden being the last to win both crowns before him. And now the hats belonging to the for- merly shaking heads are being tossed into the air in ecstasy. "T have played against Tilden when Bill was at his best," said Cochet after his defeat, ''but I have never faced a ball hit so hard and so fast, from start to finish of a match, as I did to-day. Vines hits a ball harder than any man in the world." SEPT EMBER 2g | OS2 GET THAT CORN | with Blue-jay ... Write a limerick and WIN $100 Get Blue-jay at any drug store, six for 25c. Put it on corn.

Allen in the New York Evening Post, "for his success always has depended principally on his ability to deal with that very thing.' The next item on young Mr. Vines's docket is matrimony, and then he will exe) with his bride on a tennis tour of Australia and near-by territory. The Wilmer Alli- sons, the John Van Ryns, and Keith Gled- hill will also be in the party. Until the semifinal round, according to Keystone-Underwood _Another Cup for California's Court King Vines, with the national trophy, poses for a picture with Louis Carruthers, President of the United States Lawn Tennis Association. Mr. Hawthorne's further account in The Herald Tribune: Vines had comparatively easy sailing to his second championship. On successive days he defeated Charles R. Marks in three sets, Gabriel Lavine in four sets, Keith Gledhill and Lester Stoefen in three sets each, and then Clifford S. Sutter in five sets, after being two points from defeat on four oceasions. Cochet, likewise, did not have a close call until his match with Alli- son in the semifinals. He defeated Jake Hess and Manuel Alonso in straight sets, and John Van Ryn and Frank X. Shields in four each. Is the finals Vines let loose his full power. Not even ''the satisfaction of a set was allowed Cochet, nor was a lead of 4--2, such as he manufactured in the opening chapter, sufficient to exact any concession from his rampant young rival,' according to Mr. Danzig's Times story, which we pursue: Then it was, at this point, that Vines shook off the same obsession for error- making that had almost cost him his semifinal match with Clifford Sutter, and let loose with an avalanche of wrathful strokes that had the crowd roaring in a frenzy of delight to the end of the contest. The end came exactly one hour after THE LITERARY DIGEST Rufus Davis had called "play" from the umpire's chair. The player who has ruled the courts from 1928 on, whose invincibility has kept the Davis Cup in France since he helped to wrest it from the United States, in 1927, and whose stature in tennis has been almost commensurate with Tilden's, so great has been the fear in which his delicately at- tuned game is held, has met his master in the serious-visaged young Californian armed with the hammer of Thor. The defeat of the French master did not come as a startling surprize, for Vines had vanquished him in the Davis Cup challenge round, on sand courts, last July, and was figured to stand a better chance on the faster turf courts of Forest Hills. But that the American cham- pion should win in three sets was more than probably any one in the great assemblage had bargained on. I> the Battle of Waterloo was won by the Duke of Wel- lington on the playing-fields of Eton, the 1933 battle for the Davis Cup was won by Hlls- worth Vines on the playing- fields of Forest Hills." Thus Mr. Allen, in The Eve- ning Post, predicts that this triumph of Vines heralds the return of the great interna- tional trophy to the land of its origin. Continuing: That is the chief significance for American tennis fans of Vines's astoundingly decisive victory over Cochet. Altho it was one of the greatest personal triumphs in the annals of the net game, it meant and will mean far more to the sports-lovers of this country than it possibly could to the Californian himself. Cochet still was recognized as the Napo- leon of the courts, despite his defeat by Vines on the closing day of the struggle between France and the U.S. A. for inter- national supremacy, until that dramatic moment when a thunderbolt hurled by the same player dusted the lime off the French- man's service line for a clean ace and an equally clean conquest. As the ball sped past him while he smiled ruefully, the man who had been absolute monarch of the tennis world for five years must have realized he had met his Waterloo. AS when it was all over, Cochet sailed back home to France with the state- ment that he will not again seek the United States title. Reason? Cochet is slightly peeved with the U.S. L. T. A. As a Times reporter explains it: Altho he praised highly the sportsman- ship of the American players, and said that he "'liked the American crowds,'"' Cochet was critical of the ''organization'"' of the national title tournament, referring specifi- cally to the necessity of having to finish the semifinal match with Wilmer Allison in the morning and then having to play the final with only a few hours' rest. He hinted that he would like to have had a full day's rest before the final. 37 les sheer extravagance to let tugs weat out -.. now that Ozite prices are reduced! now j : 9x12! size only $qso/ Down go Ozite prices--within the means of everyone--/or every rug!
