DISTRIBUTION—Weak SM I rwid i» a California paper the oth er day that several tone' of lemons had bean dumped into the Pacific ocean in crder to keep the price of lemons up. I have known of similar incidents on the Atlantic ooastt-whole earjfoes of bananas and carloads of other foo^s dumped into the bay. It seems to me that the srreatest weakness in our social-e^nomic struc ture is our system of diirtribution. There is no such thii^ as over-pro duction so long as anybody^ wants re main unsatisfied. I would like to se., statesmen and economists grivinf more thoug:ht to the problem of getting: the things people want into the hands of those who, want thenj, than to making artificial attempts to increase theJ profits of producers. ENGLAND—Not So Slow I was greatly struck by a statement published recently by“ Harry Selfridge, the former Chicago merchant who moved to London and now operates the largest store in the world. Mr. Selfridge said that the improvement in the sjr.stem of distribution of com modities in England has resulted in adding to the payrolls of British re tailers more people than had. been thrown out of employment by the in dustrial depression. We are inclined to think that we are a good deal .smarter in all busi ness affairs than the English. While it is true ^at it took a Yankee mer chant ^ show them the way, the quickness with which the British mer chants seized upon the basic idea of low prices and quick turn-over through stimulative advertising suggests that John Bull isn’t as slow on the uptake as many of us in America have imagined. ^ _ Mr. Selfridge’s theory that the tim^ _to advertise most is not when busi- rtiess is good but when it is btad seems to me an entirely .sound one. say there are no more opportunities left for the* adventurous and enter prising youth of America. There are more and bigger opportunities ^than our fathers and grandfathers ever had. A young friend of mine, David Gross, ihas just written a book en titled “Gold in Our Backyard.’’ I wish every ambitious boy and girl in An^er- ica could read it. He points'out litjer- ally. hundreds of differept fields in which opportunity awajta ithe enter prising and resourceful. The prizes that we are hunting fox are not always oX the other side of the mountain range, but very clow to home.

She has paver traveled more than a few* mil’es from her home in a small ^uthern town. Years ago I heard her bemoan ing her inability to get around and^ see the world.' If she cbuld^only do that, she thought, she could write stories. A friend suggested to her that peo ple were people and very much alike in their emotions and reactions any where in the world. Why didn’t she try writing stories about the people and scenes with which she was famil iar? My friend adopted the suggestion and began to write simple little fic tion stories based upon incidents in It took her a long time to master the technique of writing, but now, at sixty, she is still earning |10,000 a year wittr ber pen. She found gold in her own backyard! WAGES—Then and Now Among some old paperf which, one of my New England neighbors found recently in aq old trunk in the bam loft were_ some interesting records showing the wages paid a htnidred and eleven years ago to rural workers on '"the highways. Here are the figure: For a man per day to the last day of July, 83 cents; from the last day of July to the last day of September, 67 cents; from the last day of Sep tember to the close of the year, 50 cents; for a team and four cattle and m cart to the lart day of July, 74 cents; fffim Ifce last day fo July to the last day of September, 75 cents; from the last day of September to the close of the year, 58 cents; for a plough, 25 cents per day through the year. ^ Those rates per day were pretty close to the rates now |>aid per hour.

The game was played in the broiling summer heat Of Clemson’s Riggs field. The Tigers almost scored in the first quarter after a 40-yard run by Berry, but the alert Hosemen broke up a for ward lateral and recovered the ball near, their own goal. The sewnd period, however, told a different story. The Clemeon backfield school competition, P. C. may well ex pect a freehman team that will go places. Although it is still too early in the season for the rats to demonstrate Savannah, is calling signals for the team that is now the pick for a first string. He is already showing ability *as'an offensive man and should staml in well for a place on the froeh team. The “rats”, have found a powerhouse in June Moore, who is running at full back. He makes his power felt most when clearii^ the way for a bfdl-cari ricT and at present seems to be the bert blocking back. His ability to stop up holes will make him a valuable d^ fensive player. There is an abundance of good nmterial with an eye oA the halfback posts. Ed Lambright is a promising 'back whose running should os a strong point of the frosh attack. He is a epe^y and dependable back who stands out in spite of the number of able candidates out for his position. Another ball carrier who has shown up welll in practice is a flashy back 172...

Later the Bengal* added another .score in [ the second frame after a 70-yard^ march down the field, featured by aerial heaves. The third touchdown by Clemson came after a partially block ed punt which was run back to the P. C. 18-yard line, from which point the Clemson backs carried it over in short gains. The final Tiger score was late in the fourth period, after Hins<m had made a long punt return, and short gains and a pass carried it over for a 2B-point lead. The great moment, from tht^'P. C. standpoint, was the spectacular run of Ralph Waldrep, a substitute end, who, in almost the last few seconds of the game, abstracted the oval from Lawton’s arms, and departed rather ended. there gives reason to expert great things of him.

Another Clemson drive, however, played out aa the fourth period be gan, and punts were exchanged. The ’Hgem intercepted a pass and started out again, but were repulsed on 'their opponents’ 20-yard line. As Hinson hurriedly with the purloined pigskin, ran a punt back 25 yards,- Higbe ahe knew, not stopping until ^ had traveled 50 Uhbcks MALARIA IN t DATS COLDS FUST DAT. yards to the Tiger aero Aiarker. This play was undoubtedly the most thrill ing of the entire game, from the spec tator’s viewpoint During tlm first two period the two teams felt each other out with Clem son showing some superiority. After an exchange of punts during Which Robbie Higbe, flabhly blue-olad half back, made a neat 15-yard return, the Clemsonites got the ball and Quarter back Be^ cut*thru right tackle for a beautiful rim of 40 yards, placing the'ball on the visitors’ 15. T^n came a break in favor of the‘Presbyterians, aa a forward lateral failed to click, and P. C. recovered the bounding oval. An other drive attempted by the Hgen came to naught, as the period came to a close. / ^ _ Iben Clemson turned on the juice. Lawton, Neely’s great brcdcen-field runner, made a beautifid punt return and Clemson settled down to busineas. \yith Lawton making 18 yards, other backs made ^ort gains to ph^ the. ball five yards from tha.goal. Iben came a tense mommt. Three timee Clemson’s hard-driving backs hurled themselves againet gallant P. C. linemen, but they stUl lacked a yard. Finally Wiles butted through for the touchdownk The try for point was blocked. ■ Clemson’s Tigers were thirsting for rtill more blood, however, and they were not long in tasting it. After the kickoff and a P. C, punt, folger made a couple of good gains the line, and Berry passed to Horton for 7 and again. for 23 yards. FinaUy FWger broke thru the Une f<w 8 yards and a toudidown.

A pass and a couple of line plays put the ball on the three-yard marker and Pennington plunged over. He then caught a pass for the point. Clemson 26; P. C. 0. In the final stage came a great moment for a substitute end playing his first varsity game. Ralph Waldrep, lanky wingmCn, went charging in on Lawton and snatched the bouncing oval from the air. Akhough Wnidrep was never noted for speed afoot, he scampered straight as an ari*ow to ward the Tiger g^l, and omwaing backs were unable to recover from their surprise in time to go after him. Not long afterward the game ended. For P. C., uidoid>tedly the best man on both offense and defense was Rob ert Hi|d>e> the snake-hipped Halfback. Offensivciy, this eel-lilM back was P. C.'s bifgaBt and only thraait, while on. defenst he was lltsrally all ovar the field, making tackdes that ^ther bac^ rtioukl hare made and that with a ferocity that ia raialy aeen.

These t-hree men are already showing by their blocking and tack ling that they expect to see much ser vice at end this year. In the line the mein problem of the Blue Anklets has been to find a center. In an endeavor to get a good man on the pivotal posi tion, Coach Loimie has converted Murchison from guard to center. If Murchison cimtinues to show the abil ity that he has demom/trated in prac tice, he will probably earn a perma nent berth in the center of the line.
