Proud of Them Bismarck is proud of its junior baseball team which went down to defeat in the final game of the state tournament here Sunday. ‘The boys played cleanly and, on the whole, they played well, They were modest in their initial tournament victories, self-contained in their final defeat. By their actions they proved they are splendid young citizens and their adult sponsors realize that there is more to the battle than win- ning the victory. Preparations will be made immediately for another season in the hope of doing still bet- ter in 1935. Meanwhile, it is just as well to look at the system which Bismarck has built up for the promotion of junior baseball. Under the sponsorship of the park board, whole leagues of teams now play throughout the summer. Lads from 10 to 14 are given something to occupy their time under whole- some leadership and surroundings. The “gang” idea, which is natural with boys, is turned into constructive channels or at least away from de. structive ones. These young boys are the nucleus from which is drawn the member- ship of the city’s junior team. The age limit is 17 years, and this should be kept constantly in mind by those who have a tendency to make critical comparison between junior games and those of the senior club, also sponsored by the American Legion. A coach for the junior team is sup- plied by the senior organization, ‘Themar Simle having been selected the job as much for his skill as @ teacher and his ability with boys as for his experience as a baseball player. The cost, on the whole, is small and the benefits are obvious. Who can deny that it is much better to spend a little money on boys when they are young, teaching them the lessons of citizenship and honesty, than to spend much money on them later in our courts and penal insti- tutions because these lessons were not well learned. The aim is to make men, rather than baseball players. How much this can mean to the nation, both in safety and construc- tive enterprise, is a matter for spec- ulatior only, but one wonders what John Dillinger’s career would have been if, at 14 or so, he had been given the opportunity which now is offered to the boys of Bismarck through the sponsorship of the American Legion and allieg civic organizations, both public and pri- vate. . Final Curtain The film industry lost a tremen- dous asset and the movie-going pub- Mc a great friend in the death of Marie Dressler. Depending on her ability and per- sonality, rather than on her appear- ance, Miss Dressler was undoubtedly the best-loved actress of our time. Millions have laughed with and at her and her popularity was well | An ugly duckling, by her own description, she overshadowed the beauties of the acreen and stage by * reason of her genius for making an appeal to the heart as well as to the sense of humor. In this time, when the motion pic- ture is on the rack of critical public scrutiny by reason of its past ten- dency toward the risque, it is worth noting that no taint of unwholesome- ness applied to any picture in which Miss Dressler appeared. Her suc- cess was an obvious answer to the i one THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, JULY 31, 1934 be genuinely sorry that she has taken her final curtain call Biggest Not Always Best How true it is that the Biggest is not always the best is aptly demon- strated by the stratosphere flight of Major Kepner and his aides. Because the balloon they were us- ing was the biggest in the world, many persons confidently expected that a new altitude mark wouid be established and knowledge of the upper air increased by the observa- tions of the scientists in the gondola under the giant bag. This was per- fectly natural, since many Americans have regarded sive as a major achievement in itself. The fact, of course, is that many; factors other than size must enter into the success or failure of such a venture—and failure to set a new altitude mark is not, in itself, proof that the flight was not successful. A balloon might possibly much lower than the record but, if the scientific observers were able to solve some of the mysteries which the stratosphere holds, it could be the most successful ever made. This brings up the question of why make a stratosphere flight at all, ‘and the answer is easy. Most of the energy now stored in the world in the shape of coal, oil and similar fuels came directly from the sun. Through the 93,000,000 miles which separate this planet from the center of its orbit, come continu- ously life-giving rays without which we soon would perish. These con- tain boundless energy. If they could be harnessed, they would broaden man’s opportunities tremendously and would materially hasten the day when our scientific knowledge would make it possible for everyone to fill all his material wants without undue exertion. We have had attempts to “harness the sun” in the past, but all of these have been made without extensive scientific knowledge and background and have failed. What these balloon- ists are trying to do, not only those here but in all parts of the world, is to analyze these radiations as they exist before they penetrate the heav- jer strata of air surrounding the earth.
