JALONG WHIPS CA-VEL
BOYS IN THRILLER
On the J along field last Saturday
Jalong took Ca-Vel in one of the
m0?t thrilling baseball contests wit
nessed here this season. For the
first five Innings Jalong was trail
ing by 1-0, but in the sixth they
broke loose In a scoring orgy for
five runs following an error by James
of Ca-Vel. Although they could on
ly account for five hits off the Wil
burn brothers of Ca-Vel, these hits,
came in a stretch and paved the
way to the victory. Ca-Vel rallied
in the eighth frame for two tallies,
but were soon checked. Andrews,
third baseman for Ca-Vel, took the
day's hitting honors with three bing
les in four tries.
' In the other contest of the after
noon in the Central State League
Durham trounced Thomas-Qulckel
in a onesided affair on the Durham
field. The score was 11-1. Beck
allowed only six hits for the Sta
tioners, and they scored their lone
score in the second inning when
Garson slipped in fielding a T3t7 al
lowing Part in to count. The Dur
ham Bulls touched Vance Sykes for
twelve safeties with a home run by
Ferrell, his third of the week. The
entiie Bull infield performed well.
Six miscues were charged to the

HEART STABBED
WITH KNIFE IS
BEATING STRONG
Lancaster, pa., July 5.?The heart
of George Hampton, forty-o n e,
stabbed with a paring knife ten days
ago, is beating strongly .enough to
permit its owner to sit up in a
wheel chair.
Although his complete recovery
is expected, hospital physicians
said Hampton is allowed no visitors
as yet to avoid danger of any. strain.
Medical and surgical circles have
been following Hampton's life with
keen interest since Dr. John L. At
lee, Jr., lifted his heart from its!
place, put two stitches in to close a
stab wound, and put it back in place.!

Judge Declares
College Graduates
Make Best Wives
Chicago, July 8.?It's the beauti
ful, but dumb girl, not the college
grad, who makes the worst mate.
Thus did Judge Joseph Sabath,
Chicago's famous divorce Judge, to
day take issue with the recent as
sertion of 5#: D. P.'Wilson, of the
Los Angeles Institute of Family
Relations, that "college womenI
make the worst wives."
Lees Trouble.
"A college woman, rightly mated,
makes less trouble than all the
other classes put together," said
Judge Uabath. He termed Dr. Wil
son's statement "grossly unfair to1
women" a'M "groundless."
In thirteen yeaTS Judge'Sabath
has granted 38,000 divorces and re- j
conciled 2,700 couples?more, he as
serted, than any living man.
Because college, men and women
tend to marry one another, an In- |
flnestimal proportions of divorces
are granted to educated women.
Judge Sabath said. Their education,
[ has given them a common intellec-1
tual basis for a happy marriage. j
"It's only when men jump for
good-looking women and women for
good-looking men, considering noth
ing else, that the trouble starts.
Always Starts.
"And It nearly always starts,"
said the jurist.
It's inequality of education that
causes the trouble, he said. If aj
woman of education marries an il- j
literate man, it seldom lasts; but If!
an educated man marries a dumb!
woman. It's more likely to hold.
'She's too dumb, to leave him, and
he can't divorce her just because'
she's that way," he said.
, Only one group of college women
bear out Dr. Wilson's theory, said
the judge?the class who married \
while students. If they had waited
until graduation, they either would- j
n't havo done It or it would have ]
lasted.
TODAY and
PIONEER?and i few acres
My friend and neighbor, Louis
Raspuzzi, dwd the othe* day at 48.
He had been In America only 19
years. When he arrived from his
native Italy, at the age of 29, he,
had nothing but a few dollars in his
pocket, 'a Strang' pair of hands, a
cheefTSE-willingness^ to work and a'
powerful" strain of rugged honesty, j
When ha died almost a whole town '
turned out for his funeral. In those,
nineteen years In America Louis had!
carved out an Independence for
himself from a few mountain acres
of land, reared a family of two sons
and two daughters and sent them
all through high school, and won
himself a reputation that was coun
tywlde, for Independence, integrity,
straightforwardness, cheerful n e s s
and helpfulness to his neighbors.
Louis Raspuzzi by his life gave
the lie to the fale and wicked doc-1
trine of defeatism, the doctrine that
tells us that America is no longer
the land of opportunity and that
Americans cannot make their way
In the world unless they are subsi
dized and supported by the State.
It was not circumstance but char-,
acter that enabled the pioneers of
three cenutries ago to succeed in
the face of obstacles far greater than
those that confront "any American
today. Louis Raspuzzi brought to
his new world the same character
that those earlier pioneers brought.
And that sort of character can still i
succeed as greatly as It ever did.
LOCKJAW?from the soil
What killed Louis Raspuzzi In
the prime of life was that deadly.
oil-borne Infection, tetanus, which
?e commonly call lockjaw. There Is
no place In which human beings
Have lived in which the tetanus
germ may not be found. All that
protects the barefoot boy from its
deadly infection is the fact that na
ture has provided the sole of the
foot with such a tough, thick, al
most horny skin that tew things
can penetrate it. But any break in
the skin that comes in- ?yitacfa-with
the soil Is a possible-source of dan-.
ger.
Summer is lockjaw time. Not so
??"y *** <t as formerly, since soi
many have been taught the danger |
of a soil-infected Injury. In Cuba j
and other densely-populated tropl-,
cal regions, the natives fear to walk
on the ground without sandals of
some sort to protect them from
lockjaw. j
CHARACTER?and education
I have been reading the addresses
to their graduating classes of a
dozen or so university presidents.
Without exception, as I recall it,
those teachers put the main em
phasis on character. Brains are less
Important than honesty, Integrity,
charity and unselfishness,. President
Conant of Harvard told his grad
uates. and that was about the way
the rest of them spoke.
Intellect has been - overplayed in
the public mind, Dr. Conant said.
It is important, but not"1 all-impor
atnt. Too much .emphasis on In
tellect leads too many young men
to try to shine in professions for
which they are not fitted.
The purpose of college education,
as I have always understood It, is
not to train men to make more
money than the other fellow but to
live a better and happier life, in
whatever line of work he follows.
UNDERSTANDING?masses
Most of the outcry against the
President's -"Brain Trust" is not
against twined intelligence but
against the belief that many of the
bright youngmen with whom Mr.
Roosevelt has surrounded himself
are not yet sufficiently experienced
in (be ways of the world to be safe
guides for the nation in a time of ,
trouble like this. In the homely,
country phrase, (hey are "not yet <
dry behind the ears."
Understanding Is more important
than knowledge, especially in poli
tics. The.man who does not under
stand the vagaries and limitations
of human nature and limitations of
human nature may be as brilliant
as Einstein, but people never have
confidence in him as a leader of men.
PRESIDENTS?and college
To offset the attacks upon the
"brain trust" the Federal Office of!
Education has compiled a list to
show that nineteen Presidents have
been college graduates, six college
presidents and four college profess
ors. I -don't know what that Js sup
posed to prove, unless that on the
whole the Presidents of the United
States have been pretty smart men.
What these facts do not make
clear is that all of these men be
came President, not because they
were educated in the formal sense
bdt because-they had proved, by
years of practical politics, that they
understood the popular mind and
were men to be trusted. Out of all
the Presidents, not one so far as 11
i can recall, but had held public of
fice of a lesser degree before going
,10 the White^House, most of them
I having climbed; , up from the lower
[rungs of the political ladder. Only
Taft and Hoover had never been
elected to office before they were
.elected to the Presidency, but each
' had a record of m.my years of pub
lic administrative service In appoin
tive office.
| About the only thing the careers
, oti the 32 Presidents proves seems,
j tcT be that if a man has a superior.
| mind well educated it is no particu- I
;lar handicap to him on the road to i
the White House if he understands
the game of politics and plays it ac-.
cording to the rules.

ALL RUBBER
SEPARATOR ADDS
BATTERY POWER
The first battery separator made
exclusively of rubber is now in pro
duction in the Firestone Battery
Factories at Akron, Ohio and Los
Angeles, California. It is consider
ed as great an advancement in
batteries as the balloon tire was in
the tire industry, for it is not af-,
fected by heat, cold, or rcid, and yet
so porouv.it increases power flow.
It is use<r in the Firestone Extra
Power Batteryr
Ihe Allrubber Separators are
made up of millions of tiny balls of
rujbber joined together in such a
way as to give extreme porosity, al
lowing quick flow of power. They
have much longer life under ad
verse conditions?in fact they last
the: life of the battery. Separators
of Rubber have long been the goal of",
the battery industry. A number of
separators have been brought out
combining rubber with fiber, wood
and ..rubber, etc., and though some
obtained long life,* tljey were- fon
siderably less porous and thus gave
less starting power, especially in
cold weather.
The battery of today must have
greatly increased power. It is es
timated that 600,000 cars were equip
ped with radios in 1933, and 1,000,
000 more will be sold in 1934. More
than a million cars now have hot
water heaters which require electrics
power to operate. Gas and oil!
gauges, cigar and cigarette lighters,
double stop lights; windshield de
frosters, double horns and many
other applianoes are found on the
modern cars. The 1934 cars have
larger generators?30 ampere capa
city instead of 20 ampere.
The Firestone Extra PoweT Bat
tery with the Allrubber Seperators
furnishes more anC quicker start
ing power It is especially superior
for cars operating In severe service,
and for commercial cars and lights
trucks.
