HOT Oil THE KEY) I -i?rTHE SKIPPER. [ Wonder how much coin of the| reali? t tie Richland Legion Post dropon that Legion baseball series jMt week. We'll wager it wae a neat sum. <4 The attendance at the games, which brought teams from Berwyn, III; St. Louis, Mo; Augusta, Ga. and, ^ew orleuus, La; was terrible. We were ovdr to witness sveral and really felt lonesome sitting in the graudttiauds at Dreyfuss flfilfli?t ?r Incidentally the brand of baseball fished up in the round-robin wasn't anything to write home about. We "have seen a lot better on some of the sandlots up around Chicago and Milwaukee. ? * In keeping with mediocre brand of baseball was the demonstration of umpiring. We sat with John Mullen, Doc Bruce and Professor Howdy Speaks one afternoon when Augusta was playing New Orleans and believe it or not we all gasped when on two occasions the guy back of the plate called a swung strike a ball. It was go pathetic that it was funny. 9TmTm~-m As you baseball bugs know, Berwyn, 111.; went through the tournament like a hurricane through the Florida Everglades. A cocky Augusta team took a bad lacing from Berwyn and then went out when beaten badly by St. Louis. The fans did not like the Berwyn gang because the lads were ckimptonB at baiting the umpire. But they played ball and now they will battle the winner of the Flint, Michigan; San Diego, Cal.; team for the national title. We are going to predict that Flint wins the title. That is the team that hashed the hopes of a ftae \\tt\e team from Gastonla in the Charlotte tournament. We Just checked a report that the city contemplated putting up a restriction on left hand turns at DeKalb and Broad streets. Hizzoner the mayor informs us that right now there is no sufficient traffic congestion at that corner to require such a regulation. However, it may be that such a .step will be necessary during the maneuvers in October and November. * ? "Well", said the mayor "let's wait until we get to that bi^ige before we cross It." * ? Our good friend Dr. Clarke, rector of Grace church really covered some miles on his last day out from Milwaukee to Camden. Mighty close to 500 miles and getting here about 11:30 p. m. Thursday after drivlug from early mornitnr. Being greeted at daylight by cooling weather tempered by a downpour of rain. Hope the weather continues cool, for a hot blast would destroy all the benefits of a cool .month in Wisconsin. ? RatrI?-<l over to Sumter a few days ago to say hello to some of the gang and was much Impressed with the manner in which the merchants of that (ity are going to bat to promote busings* during the Sumter county lair As awards to be given to the ?fortunate coupon holders there will be !* hand-ome new pontlac sedan as \Well as other high-class honors. Even * ttoe colored fdtits re having certain "Prize* ^warded to them. jr Another thing, and one that Camden ineM hants can well pattern after, tfc th?- determined manner In which ^ Suinter merchants are tackling ; toe parking problem. Upon the re-| <oest of the merchants the -city has fc*de a fine start In cleaning up back > .tot* in the business district to be used ** parking areas. They are to be r*4rked off properly and entrances exits provided. The merchants " Oft the new arrangement will solve Parking problem. bp L is opportunity for the same [r*1 of a Program here In Camden. of room back of the stores, h I ... ? where now are piles of rubbish and what not. ? By the way, merchants who do installment selling should bear in mind that begiuning last Monday the new low limiting down payments and terms went into effect. Some of our merchants have declared that this law will help business, others assert it will hurt it. Seems to be a difference of opinion in the matter. We frankly -admit- we- do not know the answer. o Americans register horror at the idea of being tied up in any way with the Russian Bolsheviks. Well, we confess we don't liko Bolshevism, Communism, Czarlsm or Stalenlsm any better than we evejr did. But these are times that try men's Ideologies as well as their souls and the purest of us never know what kind of company he's going to get in before he gets out of whatever mess he's in. The Russians are immensely useful to us In Europe because they are keeping Hitler and his gang busy elsewhere. They are likewise useful to us in Asia by keeping the Japanese in check. We can afTord to be grateful for such benefits, however unintentional. There was a bit of drama in Grace Episcopal church Sunday morning. With over a score of the English flyers present in congregation and choir and with a Briton at the consol of the organ, the music of "America" was heard. The congregation of Americans and Britons and with a choir of English boys and American girls sang the words of "America" and then for a second verse "God Save the King". And how those voices did ring out in the English anthem. t That's a swell Idea of having fans in the church, but when the lights are dimmed as the minister mounts the pulpit, most of the fans stop. And whew, does it get hot. Some of the home folks who have been on vacation this summer inform me that a vacation trip not only broadens one but it also flattens one at the same time. - -~-- N t Chatted with some of the Britons Sunday afternoon. Fine chaps, every one of them. They cannot get over how plentiful food; luxuries, such as ice cream, fruits, etc. are in America. "The Camden people have treated us ae if we're their own, inviting us out to dinner?and what dinners! We couldn't enjoy it to the fullest as we were saddened by the thought that our loved ones In England are getting so little. Said one of the lads "When this mess is over I'm going to bring my mother and sister to Camden and let them live here. They would love it." Speaking of the British, It is a happy thought that chaps like the editor of the London Sunday Times are few and far between in England. This editor on Sunday took a blast at the United States, saying that we are slow in giving aid to Briton, and follows it up with a sarcastic dig at Uncle Sam in regard to the Grecian affair, asserting that Greece got nothing and Inquiring "Is blushing a lost art". * ? Well folks, when one reads that kind of tripe, it sort of makes one mad. Darned ungrateful so-and-so. If that squawker stopped to think a minute he would realize' that if it had not been for the aid already sent by Uncle Sam, the war would have been over many months ago and Hitler would have added another country to his scalp belt.

The teaching force is sufficient to allow individual atteution in matters pertaining to health and recreation as well as In education. Plans are being made to establish a first aid center at the school during fall maneuvers.

The road in front of the Klrkwood hotel, which was coated with oil several weeks ago is not as satisfactory as it was anticipated it would be. In fact, the army officers declare that It will not stand up but a few days under the heavy traffic that will be In evidence when the hotel begins to operate as public relations headquar te^s. There Is also the problem of Campbell street which will be used extensively and which today produces i clouds of dust when navigated.' Mayor McCorkle states that every cooperation will be given by the city in curbing the dust nuisance.

S 1 M CLYBURN COW COMPLETES NEW OFFICIAL RECORD Peterborough, N. II.?A new record, exceeding the average of the Guernsey breed for her age and class has just been completed by a two year old cow, Clyburn Butterfat Elsie 533723 of Kershaw, South Carolina, tested and owned by C. F. Clyburn. Her official record supervised by the Clemson Agricultural College and announced by The American Guernsey j Cattle Club is 9148.9 pounds of milk I and 603.7 pounds of butter fat, class i* Bears Trample AH Over College Stars (Uy The Skipper) A score or more of Camden foot hall enthusiasts eat beside their radloa until after I o'clock laat Friday morning in order not to inlaa a detail of the struggle between the Chicago Doura, national profeeelgnal champions and the battling squad of the headline stars of American college football. .The Hears did Just what this department predioted they would domaul the daylights out of the AllStars, even tho the latter battle Hue included such Btars as Tommy Harmon, George Franck, Norman Standee and others who. made football history in the past several years. The Bcore was 87 to 13 and we have a sneaking Idea that tho Hears did not uncover but about ten per cent of their power plays. It Is an astonishing fact that tho Hears have about 5,000 plays to base an attack On. Imagine the job Sid Luckmau, who calls the plays, has to keep this total in mind. It was another big triumph for Hulas and his famous "T" formation. Fans will recall that last year^Clarke Shaughnessy grid coach at ^Chicago for several years went to the west coast and took the Job of coaching the Trojans. Clarke, a great admirer of George Halas, introduced the "T" formation at his western school and it led him to u Hose Howl victory. The Hears win the pro titlo of the world by defeating the Washington Redskins 73 to 0. And this year the football fans are going to see hundreds of teams from bi^ university and college outfits down to the high school tea^ms going in for the "T"formatlou strong. The game last Friday night was featured by a record-breaking 46 yard place kick by Lee Artoe, the' Boars sophomore tackle., Luckman, whose passing and leadership were at concert pitch, fired a Baron Lee, 51 Of Bethune Dies Hethuue, Sept. 3 Huron Leu. 51, of Hothune, died tn the Saunders memorial hospital at Florence after a brief Illness.

Interment was in the Scotch cemetery. touchdown pass to Kon Kavanaugh, in the first quarter, another to George McAfee in the fourth, one to Kavanaugh which set up another score, along with completing numerous others. To complement hlB passing, Luckman mixed in poworfull lined-ashing from full backs Bill Osmanskl, Gary Familgliettl and Joe Manlacl, and smart running by McAfee, Ray Nolting and Harry Clark. Clark scored twice from close range and Hob Nowaskey accounted for the othor Hear touchdown on a pass from Young Hussey. Lee Artoo, the Hears star sophomore tackle, proJ vlded the other tnree points with a spectacular. 46-yard place kick. The all-stars's big moments of glory came in the first period when Harmon whipped a pass to Franck for a scoretying touchdown, and in the final quarter when Charlie O'Rourke, the little fellow from Boston college, shot a handsome 40-yard pass to Jackie 1 Robinson, Negro star from U. C. L. A., who ran six yards for the other touchdown. J % \ Perhaps You Remember tAiS IS NOT the first time that you have called upon Dodge automotive plants and men to meet a National Emergency. You probably remember that you called them to the colors once before; that you found their service good; that their dependability was not a catch-word, but a watch-word, in France and on the training fields at home, for the highest mechanical excellence. Now again you have called Dodge tb the National Defense. And Dodge has swiftly answered. Already many thousands of its highly trained men have been transferred from the work of building motorcars to the more urgent and crucial tasks 6f building army trucks, tanks, guns and airplane assemblies. Again Dodge is throwing its great industrial weight into your program of Defense. And, as you require, Dodge will again remain adefense force, with every ounce of its energy, every inch ' of. the way. * ry You May Alto Recall You may clearly remember that the fifltf time you called on Dodge for aid in National Defense, its motorcars were reaching the very peak of their first) young success. Then suddenly, remember, there were fewer of them because there were fewer men to make, them, and less material to make them with*. Perhaps you also remember that it was' these fewer Dodge cars, and the qualities inherent in them, that helped to lay the lasting foundadon for a worldwide reputation for Dependability. Later ? A Quarter Century Again Dodge moves full speed ahead in the service of the Government,?with full knowledge of its duty and confidence in youf own respect for the spirit that is Dodge. Thefie airs will, of course, always remain at their finest. You may approach your own Dodge purchase' with complete confidence in its enduring value,?its ability to serve you extremely well for even more years then* you would normally choose 90 drive it. It is a firm fact these are the finest cars that Dodge has ever built. . There cam be no curtailment of Dodge quality ? No substitute for Dodge Dependability?> OODOI DIVISION OF CHRYSLB* Q O tt P O ft A T I O Hff I " i l<*~ T ~ ~ *> - y) -i - --V- V?:r.T^?:-v.:-. r~. ...?-?, 'frt* v- - -~ r ' *-??,.. ** ' 1 ' I . ,. , j in I,j , - - |p HAY MOTORS SOUTH BROAD STREET CAMDEN. 3.
