OCTOBER MOTORING
October is a peculiar month for the motorist. It is, of all
the months in the year, the best for driving out through the

open country; yet there is something in the air that makes |
one feel out of place behind a steering wheel. In October
the automobile is an anachronism.
October, ‘in. fact, is by way of being an old-fashioned
month. It calls back the flavor of forgotten days and out-
worn customs. Its forests turn to flame on the hills, and a
thin blue haze drifts over farmlands and river bottom val- |
leys; and the old days send out ghosts, to come back and
cock amused and satiric eyes at the ways of the moderns.
A dreamy peace takes possession of things—and the speedy, |
tive automobile does not fit the scene at all. :
n October staid city dwellers, who would be lost if you
them half a mile away from the pavement, recall their |
childhood days in the country. Shocks of corn, regimented
on rolling fields like the wigwams of Indian summer, bring
back to mind the times when, as a youngster, one played
hide and seek among them, burrowed inside of the rustling

can remember driving in a buggy through the
woods, with the wheels sinking quietly into the sandy ruts
and the horse amiably plodding along at a three-mile-an-
hour gait.
Perhaps that is why the American of 1935, taking a drive
through the October countryside, the
melancholy of autumn so strongly. The brief calm of Indian
summer bespeaks a day when people had more time to live
than they have now; a day when there were fewer mechanic-
al distractions and less need for them, a day when simplic-
ity had not yet given way to complexity and human life de-
veloped closer to earth and its old mysteries.

THE WORLD CHAMPIONS
Were you interested in the world series baseball games
and their champion players? If so, vou probably admired
most of all the superb self control which these men show-
ed. For out of all the magnificent ball plavers considered
fast enough for the major league, the majority could not
probably go through such a strain without cracking.
To feel that all the honors and money that go with this
final trophy depend on your ability to hit one swift and curv-
ing pitched ball in a pinch, or your ability to field a sizzling
grounder as it zips out through the diamond. Well that tests
whether a man is the boss of his nerves. The average play-
er goes up in the air. But the world series winner says, “1
am going to get that ball if I die for it,” and he gets it.
But in such moments of strain, the majority are over anx-
ious. They try too hard. Their effort is so intense that their
nervous force collapses. It is as in grinding a knife. If you
grind too fine, you get a feather edge which quickly breaks
down.
It takes a certain underlying philosophy to play through
such pinches. . The winning player must put all he has into
it, but there must be the feeling back of it that he is not go-
ing to weep and lament if he and his team fail.
People who do not often witness such a game are amazed
by the high degree of skill. The batted ball may be so quick
that the spectator can not follow it. But that hawk eyed
player has it, as it bangs its way across the diamond, and like
a streak of lightning it reaches the baseman.
It is an exhibition of superb muscular co-ordination. Not
a lost motion, not a fraction of d second wasted. The bodies
of these players seem to flow todether, in rhythmical effort,
0 produce the highest possible éffect of speed and accur-
Rey. American sport lovers take off their hats to the superb
oung giants who achieve ‘this athletic triumph.
To Detroit belong the spoils as they clinched the champ-
pnship Monday. oy el

Sire of Chesapcake Bay
Dog Victim of Shipwreck

HE shooting was over. The bui-
let-torn body had been removed
to the morgue. The killer was dead.
“And a lucky break for us,”
young Dick Norby of the Star said
jubilantly to his companion, Steve
Carney News.
“Yea—for us,” agreed
wearily, “Come on, let's leg it over
to Nick's for a snifter. I can stand

With the drinks before them on
the scarred table top, the young-
er man lifted his reflectively.
“You're a lucky mug,” he said with
good-natured envy. “How'd you
happen to be sitting in this dump
when the cops plugged the killer?
Have a tip off?”
“Nope. Just killing time.
of fact, I bad a date.”
“A woman, huh?’ Young Norby
winked knowingly. “Funny, isn’t if,
what a chap’ll do for a dame? Our
late friend got his on account of a
date with a skirt.”
“That’s what I heard.”
“I'll say one thing for him,” Dick
offered, “he never shot a man in
the back; he always gave him a
break.”
“So what?’
“Well,” —apologetically—“y’know,
I haven't been at this game
long as you have. Kind 'a gave me
a shock to see him laid out on the
slab. Not a bad looking egg, was
he, ever mug him before today”
“Him? Outside of pictures, I've
never seen that face before in my
life,” Steve answered. “Have an-
other?
“No, thanks. Got to be

He was getting old, soft. Yes, that

pled figure lay on the
Dead. An unfamiliar face stared
up at him. Flash news. Headlines,
And his story had gone in first. But
it had got him, this violent death.
Rudely it pierced his callous
difference to life and death.
So he gave Norby a pain, did he?
Just a thick hided ex-doughboy, was
he? H—I], what did Dick know
about it? A swell kid, Dick, but
young. To him, the war was at
once a glamorous crusade out of
the past and a mercenary venture
to be made light of.
Steve's eyes held a far-away look.
The years rolled on.
Death. He'd laughed at it that
slate gray day off the Irish coast
when the troop ship, torpedoed,
reared itself in mortal agony and
plunged, bow down, into a hungry
sea. Clinging with him to a raft,
the Joisey kid caught his eye and
grinned back. There was a guy, the
kid! Game.
A brooding look softened Steve's
tired face,
And glamour. There had been lit-
tle enough of glamour in that shell-
torn night fifteen—no, sixteen years
ago. Or was it seventeen? Never
mind,
The very air moldy with ‘death.
Crouching, crawling, now lying flat
against the gas tinged
ground, the raiding party advanced.
Then, sudden contact with the
enemy! A flash of steel through
eerie darkness. Beslde him, the kid
slumped down. His own gun spoke,
A dirty hand-to-hand fight it was,
while it lasted. Then it was over.
Sweating, cursing, he somehow
managed to get the unconscious kid
back to their lines.
The bayonet wound was bad. On
the way back he'd taken a slug in
the head. A corpse. Steve thought
bitterly, looking down at Din with
hopeless eyes.
But the kid was tough. Miracu-
lously he pulled threugh, and in
time rejoined the outfit. The same,
he was, and yet different. His head
still bothered him at times, he said.
At Camp Merritt they parted, The
kid's last words were: “I'll be seein’
y'u th’ foist chanct I get. I ain't
fergot th’ night y'u pulled me outa
that mess, Youn this thing I got
to tank, Steve.”
And for the nundredth time he
held out his finger with its ring:
his talisman, his most prized pos- |
session, Steve had never seen an
other one just like it.
“Yes, they'd planned to meot |
again. But he'd moved, lost track

His reverie was interrupted by
Nick.
“Swell story yon wrote on the
killer,” he complimented. “Pretty
smart, he was. That plastic surgeon
sure fixed his mug his own
mother wouldn't know him.”
A pause. Then, curiously :
“TI'unny ring you got there, Mr.
Carney. Don't know’s I ever saw
one like it before, Yours?”
“It's mine now. It belonged,”
Steve explained slowly, “to a kid 1
used to know. He phoned me to
meet him here today.”
“And he never showed up?”
“No. He tried to, but he couldn't

Washington's Longest Lettée
The longest letter ever written by"
| Washington was addressed to Gov-
ernor Harrison of Virginia. In that
letter Washington urged the imme-
diate creation of a system of trans- |
portation over the Allegheny moun-
tains, connecting the East and the
West, thus preventing the fertile
country beyond the mountains from
drifting to the control of a foreign
country, Governor Harrison read
the letter to his legislature, which
resulted in the organization of the
James River company, the original
predecessor of the Chesapeake &
Ohio lines of today. Washington
was elected president of the com-
pany and started the migration of
farmers and traders and their gold
to the western country,

Birthday Cake Traditions
There are two or three little
birthday cake traditions. The most
familiar is that the young man or
woman who puts out all the candles
with one puff will he married be-
fore the next birthday rolls around,
while another year of sinzleness is
foretold by every candle left burn-
ing. By another version, the owner
of birthday and cake makes a wish
as he or she blows, the time of its
fulfillment being foretold by the
candles that remain. There a
variant of this one, whereby, if
all the candles go out, the guests
are required to bring about the re:#-
ization of the wish. A strong blow-
er, it would seem, could sometimes
put a rather severe task upon the
company,

eight to ten years.”
