Washington, 1). C. t'NKFST FACES WINDSOR WASHINGTON. Whether ho real lares it or not, th?? duk~ of Windsor is going to have a tougher time on his hands as governor of the Ba hamas than merely sitting round the roulette tables of Nassau or enter taining ritzy tourists from the I). S. A. The duke was appointed to the Ba hamas partly to give him something to do someplace near the native land of his wife, but also to keep him as far away as possible from his pro-German friends in England and his Nazi pals in Germany ? who were reputed to entertain ideas about restor ing him to the thrum* of England. However, when the W ally ex-king nets to the Azure islands just o*T the coast of Florida he will find a major social problem await ing him. For the Bahamas are not self-supporting; even with their rich tourist trade they are an economic liability. The United Kingdom gives them all sorts of concessions to keep the populace contented. Among other things, the British government pays a high preference on Bahaman sugar to sweeten the English cup of tea. It pays through the nose in comparison with the much cheaper Cuban sugar. Ami should Germany conquer the United Kingdom and cast olT the Bahamas, those islands would face economic disaster. The Bahaman population is 90 per cent black, and already the sour eco nomic situation abroad ar.d its reflex in Nassau, have caused rioting. The Negroes are a prolific people, in creasing the economic strain with every increase in the population. One solution might be birth con trol. and the Bahamas would ofTer an interesting laboratory for this ex periment. A similar experiment has been discussed in the heavily over populated island of Puerto Rico, but there the Negroes are Catholic v.-hile in the Bahamas they are Protestant. At any rate, the duke of Windsor is likely to have his hands full. * ? ? LEWIS FOR FDR Even though John L. Lewis has three times declared that if the j President ran for a third term he would be "ignominiously defeated,'* 1 behind the scenes the "fix is in" for a reconciliation between them. In timates have been working on both 1 for several weeks ? ever since the G. O. P. platform opened the way for a face-saver for Lewis. When he threw his brickbats at the President before the platform committee in Philadelphia, Lewis expected in return that the Repub licans would avoid advocating amendment of the national labor re lations act in their labor plank. Un der Alf Landon's urging the plank as originally drafted said nothing about revision. But big industrial contributors de manded no pussyfooting on the is sue. In the end Landon was over ruled and the plank as adopted de clared for amendment of the law. KING MAKERS Two unknown newcomers staged (he quiet behind-the-scenes drive which put over Henry Wallace. One was "Farmer" Eugene Ca sey, big Maryland dairyman; the other was bespectacled Dr. Luther Haar, business manager of the Phil adelphia Record and manager of Sen. Joe Guffey's recent successful primary campaign. While other vice presidential hope fuls had elaborate headquarters and electioneering paraphernalia, Casey and Haar avoided these trappings and brought pressure to bear where ! it would count at the right moment. Each worked different spheres. Haar exerted his persuasive tal ents on key leaders and labor chiefs, with whom he is intimate. Not re I vealed were the personal telegrams : to Roosevelt from C. I. O.'s Phil Murray, Tom Kennedy and John Owen, which helped clinch the de cision on Wallace. Casey did his stuff among the in ner circle and farm leaders. The pincers drive worked and the nod went to Wallace. He got the news at breakfast ear ly Thursday morning. Grinning boy ishly, he remarked to friends who came to congratulate him: "I found I didn't have a soft shirt this morn ing so I had to wear this stiff one. And the only cuff links I had were these the President gave me. t didn't realize it at the time, but Y vas a lucky omen." CpOR four years the New York Yankees dominated baseball to such an extent the.v li ft a cock-eyed slant on the double corral. They left too definite an impression that I the American league was the whole show, including the pink lemonade, the big tent, the elephants, the hard blue seats and the side-show after the main act. It was never quite that way. It wasn't the American league which dominated the dia mond. It was merely the New York Yan kees. They won something like 28 out of 31 World Se ries games, dating from 1127. So, natu rally, the National league must have been a flock of 3and lotto rs. But don't forget that during that four year spell the Yan kees were also an nihilating, assas C.rantlaml Rice sinuting, murdering, manhandling and mauling the Boston Red Sox, the Detroit Tigers, the Cleveland In dians and the remainder of their league. I recall a certain Yankee slump in the Midwest a year or two ago. They lost six out of eight games. I asked one of the Yankees about this cave in. "No," he said, "we were not ex actly loafing. But why run for a car you've caught. We knew ? were from 12 to 15 games better than the rest of the league. We knew wo could loaf and still gallop in." II ill \<?/ Today But it's all different today. The Yankees of 1940 are far and away from the Yankees of 1933, 1937, 1938 and 1939. And with the dizzy desccnt of the Yankees from their old heights, so the dominance of the American league has ended. I saw the National league win its all-star game in Tampa last March. I saw National league pitchers tie American league sluggers into an assortment of true lovers' knots. The same thing happened in St. Louis recently. Once again National league pitchers put silencers on American league bats. In the last 18 innings of all-star play, from March to July, Ameri can league sluggers have ham mered, exploded, thundered and mauled one flabby run across the plate. There was a time wher. the A. L. had most of the dynamite. It mav have the jump in long-range shooting today, but not against the pick of Rational league I pitching. No set of i home-run sluggers i are going to make I any headway against | Paul Derringer, | Bucky Walters, Carl I Hubbell (that'sright) ; or many others I I could name. The Yankees Paul Derringer from 1935 through 1939 were an exception. They had practically everything ? the hitting, the fielding, the pitching, th* confi dence and the poise. They had amaz ing balance, which is something that time works on in Its leisurely way. The Two Leagues American leaguers will tell you that Detroit, Cleveland, Boston and New York all could win the National league pennant, with something to spare. National leaguers, now lifted from the gloomy abyss of the years that knew defeat, are telling you the Reds and Dodgers would run away with an American league pennant. "What do you suppose," one vet eran National leaguer asked rr\e, "would happen to that American league if their hitters had to move out against Paul Derringer, Bucky Walters, Junior Thompson, Jim Turner, Whitey Moore and others day after day? There wouldn't be a team in that league hitting .240 against Red pitching." This is moving a trifle fast the other way. The two leagues now are better balanced than they have been in some years. Again this is largely clue to the Yankee drop. "Where are my Ruffings and Dick eys and Gehrigs and Gomezes and Gordons and Rolfes and Crosettis?" Joe McCarthy also might be asking today. Baseball, in losing the four-year Yankees ? losing them so far, at least ? has built up additional inter est through both leagues, especially the American league.

For the Lord knoweth the *vay of the righteous: but the way ol the ungodly shall uerish. ? Psalm 1:6. The most important thing in life is living. That is not an attempt to make a striking statement, but a sinccre effort to present a fact which too often escapes our atten tion. We are so concehiiaieu upon making a living, or making money, or making a name for ourselves, that we often fail to make a life. HnH i?: mnrA rnncprnrH nhout what we are than what we do. There are only two ways ? the right way and the wrong way. We build our life either on the true foundation or the false. There is no middle way, no half-good founda tion. We must choose, and it is either one or the other. I. Two Roads (Ps. 1). Scripture is not at all concerned about mixing figures of speech, so long as the truth is graphically ex pressed and fully understood. Here it speaks of a man walking in the way, a tree planted by a river, the chaff of the threshing floor; and then returns to the figure of walking in the way. All of these present the same truth, for essentially the idea is that of the two ways in which men walk. 1. Choosing the Way (vv. 1, 4, 6). Even the choice of his way of life marks a man as either blessed or wicked. Some seem to think that they can choose or just drift into the wrong way and still have hope that all will be well. Their choice, or their failure to choose, has put them in the one class or the other. Making a choice is a vital and serious matter. Let us do it care fully. Walking in the counsel or philosophy of the wicked soon re sults in a man lingering in the way of sinners, and before he is aware of it he will find himself so at home, tliat he will sit among them and scoff. 2. Continuing in the Way (w. 2-4). The man who will permit the law of God to control every detail of life night and day will never go astray, but will prosper in every thing he docs. Observe that to pros per does not necessarily mean to have money, position or recognition in this world. It means to be a suc cess in the thing which God has given one to do. Much that this world calls pros perity is nothing but an empty show, while at the same time some lives , which the world says have been i wasted are prosperous in the sight of God because His will has been ] dor.e. | 3. At the End of the Way (w. 5, j 6). Every road of life comes to an j end. "It is appointed unto men once | to die, but after this the judgment" (Heb. 9:27). Ah yes ? the judgment ? what will it be in your life? The wicked cannot stand in the presence of the divine Judge. All the bold front and boastful talk which went over so well before men, loses its flavor and the wicked man can only expect judgment. It is a dark and dreadful scene, but man need not go in the way which ends there, but may turn to God in faith | and repentance. j II. Two Houses (Matt. 7:24-27). Two men build houses evidently : much alike, but we find that there I is a great difference between them. 1. The Builders (w. 24, 26). "Wise" and "foolish" are the build ers, and what made them so was their choice of a foundation. No i matter how brilliant a man may seem to be in the learning of this world, if he rejects God's Word he is foolish and bound to suffer the loss of everything. 2. The Foundations (vv. 24, 26). The foundation of life is really everything. Built on the sands of human philosophy or personal de sire and in the rejection of God's will, man prepares only for disaster. But ? and here is a glorious thought ? the Son of God says that if a man will hear His sayings and build on them, no storm can destroy his building. Blessed assurance! 3. The Testing (vv. 25. 27). The time of testing always comes. It may come early in fife, or it may be delayed, but be certain that it wL'l come. To the believer in Christ it is only that ? a testing, to prove that his house will stand. But to the one who has rejected Christ the testing time brings dreadful de- j HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Camphor will remove the white rings left on tables by waltt (lasses. - When rag rugs are washed they should be rinsed thoroughly be cause soap left in them makes them catch dirt more easily. ? ? ?
