They were riding together along 1 the New York Central when the i "Plumed Knight inquired: 1 Whats the next station, Chaun- I Peekskill, and I was born there. I always thought you were born at Poughkeepsie, he said.

Just then they were running into the station, and as the train stopped, i Cbauncey stepped forward to intro-! dues his companion to the great I crowd. But Blaine pushed him back in a very dramatic way, and shouted: Fellow citizens, allow me to make the introduction here. As I bare many times in the last quarter of century traveled up and down your beautiful Hudson Hirer and passed Feekskill, I hare had I emotions of tenderness and loving memories, greater than those impressed by any ether town, because bare said to myself: There is the birthplace of one of my best friends, Cbauncey Depew. POCITOS. ONE OF MONTEVIDEO'S BEACH RESORTS DEAR SIR: I am strong for this, proposition of Tres Ileydler ot the National League that 10 men be used in baseball instead of nine, and all this criticism of the Idea as gee-gee impresses me as unjust, unfair and what have you.

The tremendous receipts from football last month have far exceeded any receipts from baseball over a similar season, and Mr Ileydler is smart enough to see that the trouble with baseball Is that it Is too easily understood. The success of football from a financial standpoint is due to the fact that at no time is the public allowed to understand what is going on down there on the playing field. a Now, then, Mr Ileydlers plan to excuse pitchers from batting and let each team name a man before the game who would bat fer tho pitcher, would help a little, although it would be better not to name this hatter and Just let the peoplo guess about him cs they do in college football. What really should be done is to have 30 or 40 players sitting on the sidelines of the baseball field and completely covered with woolen hoioc blankets, so nobody can recognize them. It should be permissible for a manager to send in theso substitutes at any period of the game and for any position.

Suppose that in a very exciting inning, with the score tied and a man on third just about to steal home, five players should jump up from the sidelines, throw off their blankets and come running up to the umpire? The umpire would blow his whistle, halting the man about to steal home and ask iho five new players: Who are you? Wcrc tho new infield, they would whisper, but the numbers on our backs are not the ones you will find In the ofllcial lineup. We have wrong numbers on to fool the public. Well, there would be time out while a stronger Infield went in. This would happen every few minutes, and at no time during tho last eight innings would the public have any idea who was playing on the teams. A situation like that is the secret of footballs popularity.

Bclievo me, this Heydler Is crazy like a fox. IIo lias a head, and the big league magnates should be eager to accept his Ideas. They will just about save baseball. Yours sincerely, Elmer Twitchell. p.

S. There should be more confusion about scoring baseball, too I would suggest that a home-run hit insido the park le counted as a stolen base; that after a third strike the batter be allowed to punt, and that when a long fly ball i3 miosed by a fielder after he has touched it with his hand it is brought back and played over again with no gain, and counting only as a grand slam, 300 pinochle or a (Copyright, 1828) AMONG the heroes of Uruguay is one whose name is familiar to us in this country as the moving spirit in Italys struggle for freedom -Guiseppi Garibaldi. It was in South America that the Italian patriot received much of the training which made possible his later successes, and it was there that Italians first wore the red shirt which was to become famous in their native land. Sentenced to death by the Piedmontese Government for his part in a plot to seize a frigate. Garibaldi fled to South America in 1836.

At that time the State of Rio Grande do Sul was in revolt against the Government of Brazil, and gave Garibaldi letters of marque. Arming a fishing boat, the 30-ylar-old Italian set out to battle with the Brazilian Empire. In true storybook style he and his men captured a larger vessel and put out to sea in that. Besides his exploits on the water he commanded guerrilla bands of daring horsemen. During this period he encountered all sorts of adventures and hardships, including torture at the hands of an enemy.

It was during this time, too, that he met the woman who was to take such a dramatic part in his life. It happened in this way: Garibaldi and his men, having been shipwrecked on the shores of the Brazilian province of Santa Catherina, captured the town of Laguna and with it the Imperialist vessels in the harbor. Now he had a fleet. As he stood on the deck of his flagship one day watching the shore through a telescope he espied a young woman and forthwith gave orders for the boat to be got out as I wished to go ashore. Landing, he met an acquaintance who took him to his house and there he met the girl, Anita Riberas, who liad attracted him.

Here Is his story of the meeting: We both remained enraptured and silent gazing on one another. At last I greeted her by saying, Tu devl esser mia, Thou ought to be mine. I could speak but little Portuguese and uttered the bold words in Italian. Yet my insolence was magnetic. I had formed a tie which death alone could annul.

There began a love story which lasted until Anita died' In his arms in the marshes of Ravenna some 10 years later. Not long after their first meeting they eloped and Anita followed Garibaldi during most of his South American campaigns. Once she was captured, but escaped, and on another occasion she fled with her husband into the wilderness carrying a 12- day-old child on her saddle bow. Of her Garibaldi wrote later: Anita was my treasure apd no less zealous than myself for the sacred cause of nations and for a life of adventure. She looked upon battle as a pleasure and the hardships of camp life as a pastime; so that however things might turn out, the future smiled on us and tha vast American deserts which unrolled themselves before our gaze seemed all the more delightful and beautiful for their wildness.

After six years of fighting against Brazil Garibaldi, partly Influenced it is said, by the very human desire to make a comfortable home for his wife and children, went to Uruguay. For a time he earned a peaceful living as a shipbroker and teacher in Montevideo. But not for long. Troubles between the Reds and the Whites of Uruguay had begun shortly after the little country became a republic. Rivera and Oribe, two of the leading generals, had quarreled and their adherents grew Into two factions, which still exist today, the whites or Blancos taking their name from the white horse of Gen urlbe and the white pennons carried by his men, and tme Colorados or Reds deriving theirs from the red pennons of Rivera.

Presently Rosas, the Argentine dictator, backed Oribe. During the course of the struggle Montevideo underwent a eight-year seige by Oribe and his men. Garibaldi soon enlisted with the Reds at that time no such meaning was attached to the term red as there is now and played an important part in the fighting, both on land and sea. Of all his acts in South America, the one of most far reaching importance was the formation of the Italian Legion of Montevideo. This, according to Trevelyan, one of Garibaldis biographers, was "the origin of the Gari-baldians proper.

Most of the men were political exiles, and while their immediate idea In enlisting was to make a return for the shelter given them, the idea behind was to prepare for another struggle, namely, for Italy. With the Italian Legion Garibaldi won the battles of Cerro and Sant Antonio, assuring the liberty of Uruguay. A little later word came from Italy of the Incipient revolutionary movement, and, refusing all honors and rewards. Garibaldi sailed for Europe. Of him a Montevldean wrote: He had all the inhabitants of Montevideo for his friends; never was a man there more universally loved.

the League la South America? It is now badly Impaired. For years the Argentine, though enrolled as a member Nation, has participated in neither the Council nor the Assembly. Denied a seat in the Council, Brazil resigned two years ago. Peru has decided to withdraw until the Tacna-Arica controversy is settled. Bolivia, whose aggressive action in the present emergency 13 a challenge to the League, has for some time failed either to pay dues or to take part in deliberations at Geneva.

Here is precisely the kind of dispute which the League has handled with good results in Europe. In South America it is a different matter. Is the Leagues influence to be restricted to Europe? Unless It can function in South America, why should South American countries adhere to it? Meanwhile, there is in the Western Hemisphere no international organization to take the place of the League, largely because of the suspicion on the part of our Latin-American neighbors that any such project would be under the domination of Washington. Most of the perplexities of the League of Nations arise from the same cause the abstention of the United States. Uncle Dudley.

A PART INTEREST TARIFF WALLS have caused corporations to become adept at jumping hurdles. When it is impo. sible to get the product into the country offering a desired market without paying duties that take away the profit, the next best thing has been to organize a branch corporation in the country where the market is. Some foreign firms have done this in the United States, while many American firms have done it in foreign lands. Within the tariff walls that guard protected Englandare many plants making American products just as they are turned out here.

This has been very disturbing to British manufacturers, and is not regarded with entire equanimity by London bankers, who fear what is called American penetration. It is now announced that the British Ford Company has decided to allocate shares representing 40 percent of the capital to small British investors. The result is a species of relief to the feelings of John Bull, who had feared that he would find the Yankees owning too much in England. Some of the English branches of American concerns are entirely controlled from this side of the Atlantic. How satisfactory will be the working out of this arrangement must depend on how tightly British hands are able to hold to the shares they buy.

Intangible property has a way of passing from weaker to stronger hands. It is extremely difficult under the monetary system to avoid essential domination by those whose resources are greatest. A JUBILEE IN THE EAST THE progress of Japan in adapting to its needs whatever it finds useful in the experience of Western Nations is a never-ceasing source of wonder. Often that which requires a generation in this part of the world is accomplished in a decade or less in Japan. This applies to education, industrial development and to general culture.

Early in 1929 a very important event Is to be celebrated by the Japanese. This Is the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the newspapers, the Tokyo Asahi and the Osaka Asahi, which are called the leading sister newspapers of the Far East. Well may they be. They have grown astoundjngly, until now the Tokyo paper has 400,000 circulation, while that of the Osaka publication has reached the astounding total of 1,300,000. Such figures leave the newspaper publishers of this country almost speechless at their enormous size.

The chief reason for such prosperity must be the thorough way in -hlch the authorities of Japan have shouldered the obligation of universal education. Japan has become one of the most literate Nations of the earth. This is in sharp contrast to the situation in India, where only about half of the population are able to read, and a mere fraction of these able to write as well. In China the figure for Illiteracy has been set at 80 percent, but the mass education movement of the past few years has been cutting this down steadily- During the entire half-century of the Asahi papers the same hand has guided the destinies of the enterprise. Editor Muruyama is, therefore, unquestionably one of the grand old men of world journalism.

Congratulations are in order, both to him and to the Japanese who have such a man among them. Ring Lardner Critic of Affairs who isnt seized at some time or other (especially around the holidays) with a sudden burst of geniality one of those fitful warmings of the heart that cause us to crawl from out our hard, old shells and scramble toward our fellows that makes us eager to share our worldly goods with, just anybody, but especially with the poor. Just before Christmas, then my heart went leaping toward the Relnmullers. 4tief Vtv rbnnfio that heard tient, brawny hard-working Mother Reinmuller with her family of seven little girls, to say nothing of Old Reinmuller, her husband, the crotchety, tempermental inventor, who not only enjoyed the reputation of being a drunkard and a wife-beater but (for documentary evidence of this I refer you to Police Headquarters) of having once thrown a well-meaning social worker bodily out ot the house. But seven children, and every one of them girls! A temperamental husband, nay more, a husband that was an inventor.

Is it to be wondered that I ransacked my possessions, and with a gigantic package hastened in the direction of the Relnmullers? It was Old Reinmuller himself who responded to my knock. What do you want? he thundered In a voice entirely void of cordiality. It chilled my enthusiasm horribly. 13 Mrs Reinmuller in? I inquired as affably as I was able. No, she aint, he retorted, and was about to shut the door in my face.

Realizing that it was again my turn to pick up the thread of conversation, I struck out boldly: Youre Mr Reinmuller, the inventor, aren't you? He straightened up. The door opened a little wider, and it seemed as though the storm were clearing a bit. Thats me. he responded. Have you ever used by Maglo Mender for silks and wools? The Lord knows I never had, but here was a passport to Reinmullers better graces.

Are you the man who Invented Magic Mender? I asked. Ive always wanted to shake hands with that person. Reinmullers hand met mine and we shook vigorously for some moments. Great stuff, he said. It is, I answered.

Im workin on a kettle mender now. Wont you come in. Miss? I'd like you to serf it, and still clasping my hand he led me into a dark, stuffy room, his own sanctum sanctorum, where old kettles were strewn about in confusion, waiting their turn to be experimented on by Reinmullers magic kettle mender. I knew that my face, was beaming with interest, for I could feel the heat of it, and I was aware that Old Reinmuller felt my interest, too, for he sat me down and explained all that he was then doing, all that he had ever done or was yet about to do. I learned much about the art of kettle-mending.

I heard the many weak points of other mens inventions in that field and the many superior points of his. I was moved, and I swore, then and there, eternal allegiance to Reinmullers magic kettle mender. Then as our little chat on Inventions came to a finish, and as he gradually exhausted his store of autobiographical notes, Old Reinmuller had time to examine his guest and listener. Hm! What a funny hat, he remarked. By this time I was past the point of being surprised.

A moment's silence and Reinmuller's puzzled brow-told me that he was contemplating something. He got up, went into the next room, and after prowling about considerably he returned with a largo felt hat, abundantly decorated with cloth roses and lilies of the valley. Now this here Is more your type, he resumed, coming over to where I sat. Take off your hat. What else could I do? I obeyed, and forthwith was' crowned with what I knew to be Mother Reinmullers Sunday hat.

Now this Is Just your style, he said approvingly. I want you to keep it. Its a shame for a nice young girl like you to go around In a hat like that. pointing disdainfully at my much beloved French import. But Mrs Reinmuller? I protested.

No, no. Never mind. Ill get her another. I want you to take this hat. I saw that protest was useless, for Reinmuller liked the effect.

He shook my hand vigorously as he hurried me out into the night, whence I fled to the shadowed byways, consumed with longing to hide my head. Furthermore, I was weary with the weight of my own great bundle, which I had somehow failed to leave with the Rein-mullers, and I could not help but remember the words of a Galilean, how He said, It Is more blessed to give than to receive.

Dr Leary very wisely asks for a life-net on the front end of autos. He might supplement it with a demand for pedestrians bustles. One of the ideas that has outlived its progenitor is that this country may one day join League of Nations. At present the association that works for this end reports that neither political party regards the subject as a matter of current interest.

That Serbian wedding that lasted nine days and nights, with 550 invited guests and 2200 who just happened in, would have made a wow of an assignment for a reporter, but he would have had to be from a magazine.

It is a revealing object lesson on bow a war may start. Also, it raises an Important question In international politics. Thus far the most conspicuous effort to avert hostilities between these two South American countries has been exerted at Lugano, where the Council of the League has been In session.

By an ironical circumstance, a Pan-American arbitration conference was convened at Washington when the crisis arose. Confronted by a specific problem requiring arbitration, the conference was placed in a rather absurd position. The conference may offer its services in conciliating the dispute, but the Nations involved are not under com-- pulsion to accept. There is no Pan-American body with authority to act. The League of Nations, on the other hand, has no other excuse for existence save the peaceful settle-ment of just such a quarrel as this.

Informal shooting across a distant boundary line sets its machinery in motion. Already the League, in correspondence with Bolivia and Paraguay and in dispatching this material to member Nations, has run up the biggest cable and telegraph hill in its history. Brland, president of the Council, announces that he is prepared to call a special session of that body. Meanwhile, he has addressed communications to both South American Governments insisting that they respect their obligations under the covenant. In so acting, of course, Briand finds authority in this Instrument.

The Council is authorized to meet to take such action as it deems effectual on the mere threat of war. Every member Nation is committed by the covenant to submit either to arbitration or to inquiry by the Council any dispute that may lead to rupture. If either of the two Nations formally declared war, the League might feel obliged to take drastic action, for that, according to Article 16, would be considered a declaration of war on the League. The measures prescribed for such an eventuality are the recall of diplomats representatives from the offending Nation, and an economic blockade against it. Obviously, the League, too, finds itself in a dilemma.

The most powerful Nation in the Western Hemisphere happens not to be a member. Moreover, European diplomats ar quite aware that the United States Government does not view with favor European Intervention in the Americas, even in the cause of peace. Our Government has let it be known in numerous instances that, in its opinion, the burden of maintaining 1 order in this part of the world de-1 volves very largely on us. Our susceptibilities, in fact, are recognized in the League Covenant, -which disclaims any design to set aside "regional understandings like the Monroe Doctrine for securing the maintenance of peace. Perhaps those who have the affairs of the League in their keeping would be greatly relieved if an acceptable mediation project should originate in Washington.

But what about the prestige of NEW YORK, Deo 17 In the course of Christmas shopping, which eats up nearly 20 minutes of my time every per annum, I dropped into Alex Taylors store the other day, told a young salesman what I wanted (a contract bridge primer in works of one syllable for F. Crowninshleld) and while he was combing the shelves, I observed the efforts of another salesman, apparently a supersalesman, to sell a bow and arrow to a parent who was more interested In letting us all In on the secret that he was taking his family to Porto Rico for the Winter. What intrigued me about this salesman was the fact that he had a packet with his name, Mr Smith, neatly sewn or embroidered just below the breast pocket. Now I am not what you could call an habitue of stores and It may. have become an old Spanish custom for shopmen to Identify themselves in such a simple and convenient manner, a much simpler and more convenient manner than that employed by dining car waiters (a slip inscribed the name of your waiter Is Simpson), or hotels (clerk on duty, Mr Harris), or football players who wear numbers on their backs and hate to turn their backs to the audience, or Ned Wayburn, who directs dances In a sweater monogrammed N.

W. and whom I once asked, not having caught his name, what year he was at Northwestern. But anyway, Mr Smith and his candor were a refreshing novelty to me and led me to hope that reticence in all walks of life le to be thrown to the winds and painful embarrassments resulting from same done away with once and for all. The next progressive step is up to the customers. If one Is the least bit notorious he expects the clerk to know him by sight and get his name and address straight without asking.

Most clerks, however, are only human or nearly so; they cant recognize or remember everybody, much as it grieves them not to. They would be relieved, of a great strain, if. for example, Rube Goldberg, before going to a store, were to don a coat on which the madam had cross-stitched the legend, R. L. Goldberg, cartoonist, 317 West 75th St.

New York city. That would ease the situation so far as shopping is concerned, but the movement should not be permitted to stop there. Far more important Is the matter of detailed exposition at social gatherings, and I pray for tha time w-hen it will ba compulsory as well as genteel for Mr Goldberg to equip himself for dinner parties with a dicky that tells, in clearly legible printing, as much of his story as is necessary for a stranger to know: Reuben Lucius Goldberg; nickname Rube. I draw comics. Among my characters are Boob McNutt, and Mike and Ike, who bear faint resemblance to one another.
