This Week
Movo Supromo Court Closer.
Two Croat Annivoraarioa.
Croat Man Coming.
Foroata From tho Air.
By Arthur Britbano.
Learned gentlemen of the Bar Association want the United States
Supreme Court removed from Washington "far from the influences of
Congress," which means the Influence of the people that Meet Congress
and appoint Supreme Court Judges
through their paid servant, the President.
Some cltliens think .the Supreme
Court Is quite ter enough away from
the Influence of the people already,
that It would not do any harm to
bring lt back a little closer.
Two great anniversaries approach:
Fifty yeara ago this week, the typewriting machine began ita career,
aatlng time , increasing efficiency
and, most Important of all, introducing into buslneee the good tsTtoeno*
of hundreds ot thouaanda of-women.
Fifty yeara ago Americana began
the manufacture of Portland cement,
which is, to building, what ihe typewriter Is to buslneas. For the first
ten yeara thla • country made only
S6.000 aacks of cement annually. Laat
year the country used 470,000.000
sacks, and the American plants now
possess a capacity of 600,000,000 sacks.
L'oyd Oeorge wlll be here In a few
weeks. You will aee and hear a real
man, when he comes. Without him,
to manage England and her Allies in
the big war, putting England's armies
under Foch, supplying the Allies with
'noney and ammunition. William of
Hohensollern would probably be still
Kaiser and on a bigger scale, with
"a newly captured throne" for each
jf his sons.
Bee and hear Lloyd Oeorge, lt you
can. He Is the greatest democrat
that Europe has produced since Cromwell, and history wlU aay ao, whatever
Tories may aay now.
Germans are building flying machines for a 28-hour service between
Hamburg and New York. Real flying Is beginning.
Der €wrtls, professes of botany,
at Columbia, says the -destruction of
tmr forests may come tn ten years
Thanks to the flying machine. Our
831,000,000 acres ot virgin forest have
been reduced to .140,000,000 acres
But what men have cut down In centuries fliers could replant, scattering
needs tram airplanes in tour or five
yeara easily. Millions oi sores Ot
mountain land, cut or burnt over
could be replanted from the air and
the Agricultural Department should
be supplied with the men, money
seeds and machines to do It.
J. H. FREDERICK TO
CAPTAIN LOCAL GRIDDER8
Al a meeting of the high school
football squad at the Harris field this
week, J. H. Frederick was elected to
captain this year's team. Frederick
held down one of the ends on last
year's team and will probably act us
quarterback this year. He has always
been active In athletlca and wlll make
the team a good captain and leader.

A distinguished senator suggests
buying one of the palaces In Berlin
tor the "United States ambassador.
Palacea in all capitals for our democratic ambassadors, to be paid for
by the people, are suggested seriously. There are several second hand
crowns drifting around Europe at bargain prices. Why not get one ot those
tor each American ambassador? It
>ou must make an ass of yourself, do
it thoroughly.
Louts Challf tells the American
Dancing Teachers' Society that body

Nature knew it long ago. The animals danced, llsards, dinosaurs, Jungle

wise.
One man in California cuts the prloe

costs and a little more.

Fame, which will be played with Lorain High school at the Longfellow
Lit Met 1<  fid,i In Lorain Suturduy.
This yenr's squud Is quit law, considering that school did not open until last Monday. The men on the

their alertness is exceptional, whlcb
rromlses n fast team.
Ferdle Hcussor. of South Amherst
has enrolled In the local high school
this y.uir after two yenr's absence and
will hold down one of the half hack
positions. HeUBser played with the
1920 team as a tackle and showed
good form. Since that time he has developed a great deal and will undoubtedly be couch Durling's hardest hitting backfield man. Tommy Uulsel-
man, a last year's man, will hold down
the fu'.l back position. Ills ability at
passing, pu.iting and running the ends
has been brought out lu this week's
practlc..', and he promises to show up
good Saturday. Lofton Baumhardt
and J. H. Frederick will also play In
the back Held. Just what positions
they will pluy has not as yet been decided  by coach  Durllng.
Eastman, Duvie, Murshal am! Tabbert wlll form the bluwark of the line.
I Marshal it a last year's man, while
Eastman and Davie have had only
u little experience. Tabbert, who will
play ei'd, has been looking good in
practice and promises to fill out the
Hue in good shape.
Tonight, the squad will go through
another stiff scrimmage and tomorrow
night only light signal practice will be
held.
Coach Collins, of the Lorain team,
put his men through the first scrimmage Monday. Yesterday tbe scrimmage was light and the same will be
curried out today. Tomorrow only
light signal  practice will be held.
The game will start at 2:30 and a
large number of fans are asked to attend. Amherst high school has not
