Malcolm R. Giles, executive director of the organization, says: "We do everything that devotion and inge-nuity can suggest to make Mooseheart as little like an institution and as much like a , home as possible " As a city, Mooseheart is largely, Its 800-acr- e farm (above) supplies 60 per cent of the food. The student bank (left) welcomes checks for as -- . little as one cent. And for those of the younger set who have not yet reached a state of financial solvency, there are plenty of playthings, as evidenced by view of the toy and game-fille- d nursery (below). ! - ' V . ) 'it 'iid,. ;L !

The course in printing is one of several vocational guidance projects the school offers. To date, some 5,000 boys and girls have been graduated from Mooseheart. There are no bleak dormitories or mess halls. Instead, there are many small dwellings, each of which has a pleasant living room, a dining room in which boys and girls of the same relative ages eat as do normal families, and bedrooms which have space for personal belongings. f f IJ.f i - .

STADIUM. SPOR TLIGH t Who'll Fill Baseball's Gaps? By GRANTLAND RICE QiMJi UAJM KECALL, looking back many years, how to people began wonder who were going to fill the gaps when Hans Wagner, Christy Mathewson and Nap La-jo-had finished. Then there was Ty Cobb followed by Babe Ruth. Ruth and Gehrig. No one could take Matty's and Cy Young's place. But Walter Johnson did. And after John-son there was Bob Feller. It may be that no ballplayer can fill the gaps left by Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth. Or per- - banc Walfop Tnli. V f if; j son. No one has quite filled Hans Wagner's place at short. But with the Ted Wil-liams, Bill Dickey, Bob Feller, H a 1 Newhouser, Lou Boudreau, Stan ivr,,(.;oi on, t . be many that will need plugging. Here are a few guesses Al Dark and Earl Torgeson of the Braves; Ralph Kiner of the Pirates; Zern-ma- Al Raschi and Bob Porter-fiel-d of the Yankees; Perhaps Lar-ry Yogi Berra and Larry Doby of Cleveland; Ralph Branca and Sid Gordon of the Giants; Eddie Kazak of the Cardinals; Richie Ashburn of the Phillies; Cari Furillo, Dod-gers; Bob Chesnes, Pittsburgh; Johnny Groth, Detroit, and Roy Campanella, Dodgers. Tommy Henrich is one of the star ballplayers of the year. But Tommy is 32 years old and he has been a pro ball player for 15 years. So Tommy can" be included with the stars of tomorrow. Then you can watch Lloyd Merriman of the Reds, a possible gap filler. Dick Kryhoski of the Yankees and George Kell of the Tigers are other possibilities don't overlook either. Enos Slaughter and Pee Wee Reese have come along too late for any future build-u- p maybe Fer-ris Fain and Eddie Waitkus of the Philadelphia teams may prove the answer around first base, which has taken a heavy dip. Then we might take a look at all those $50,000, $60,000 and $70,000 bonus players-Joh-nny Antonelli of the Braves Curtis Simmons and Robin Roberts of the Phillies and a few others who have yet to prove how good they are. It might be mentioned here that Bill Dickey ranks Yogi Berra as potentially the best catcher in either league. "Con-sidering BerTa in every detail," Dickey said, "I'd take Berra over any catcher in baseball today. He Is young, strong and ambitious. He has a fine arm and he can hit." Dickey is extremely keen about the future possibilities of Raschi and Porterfield. He isn't suggesting they can fill the gaps that will be left by Feller and Newhouser. But he is sure they are much better than merely good pitchers. Gus Zernial of the White Sox, a giant Texan, has shown exception-al promise. He may move up to challenge Ralph Kiner as the home-ru- n star of 1954 or 1955. Zernial has shown enough promise to be rated high in any future book. Don't overlook Dark of the Braves. He is one of baseball's fastest men who can field and hit. He may move in back of Hans Wagner before he is through with the game. Grantland Rice i others, most of the gaps are plugged. Ruth, Cobb and Wagner's remain unfilled. But we have now come to a spot in the game that either Gen. Abner Doubleday or someone else in-vented where we have to look around for other Bill Dickey is through as a player. So is Mickey Cochrane, another catching brilliant. Wil-liams and Musial should have a few years more. They are two of the tops maybe the best. But Joe DiMaggio, Bob Feller, Ewell Blackwell, Char-ley Keller, Whitey Kurowski, Marty Marion, and many more are nearing the borderline where the sign reads "Game Called." It must be admitted there are not too many headliners left from the old guard. Ted Williams is the top man now. Musial is struggling in the grip of an early season slump. Newhouser is still pitching well, but he isn't winning as he used to win. Blackwell, a great pitcher, has been struck down. He may or may not come along later on. Char-lie Keller is now out in 's Land. No one knows when he will be back. Feller is a bull-pe- n pitcher. "Where are the gods of yesterday?" So they are asking today who will take the places of Dimag-gi- o, Williams, Feller, Musial, Marion, Newhouser, Boudreau and other headliners who will soon be over the hill. This makes one of the greatest guesses in sporting history. Who will be the coming stars to fill these gaps? For there will soon ifPl j .!Fli ciniplified Government Irf WAS A SIMPLE government 1 5' I "of to. and by the PeP,e" hch 'our forefathers bequeathed Ttheir progeny. Its three branches legislative, administrative, and "Si: 'jjjiai-carr- ied through aU units Lm the town, through the county di state to the federal. It was a S' ffivernment that answered aU the Loses of their time, but suc-- 1 Lding generations have so added In that what was simple is now ' 5 Complex, ,,eti nvemmental machine, in all of ..V I various units. I: Conditions change from genera- - generation, almost from. ton to E; Government changes tear to year. an effort to keep pace with conditions. Government m changing aids to, but never subtracts. New departments, new' bureaus are added, but when conditions no long-er require these additions they are Mver dropped. In many cases, the conditions of half a century ago, more or less, which at the time tell; seemed to warrant a new depart-uss- j ment or a new bureau for some unit 6 4 of government city, township, asti: county, state or national do not H m exist. t,e The department or bureau that as added goes on and on, though stts He need for it has long since M passed, and other expense items, ' Sr. added when it was established, cont-inue. It is easy to add to our governm-ental costs, but our political sys- - ""', tem makes it difficult to dispense !J with those added costs when the usefulness of the department or ""'I bureau is over, if it ever existed. ""i Each job means political patron-- I age, and that is something few, if ""j any, political party leaders are Tilling to reduce. That applies to all units of government, from that 1 & cl the town through to the national lti-- government at Washington. 'J Two years ago congress made a gesture looking toward the simplification of the federal ' government, and the reduction "j ol the expense. The Hoover com-- I mission has reported its recom- - """,! mendations. It is now up to con-- I gress to enact those recom-- I mendations into law, but to do I so means reducing congres- - jn!ct' sion.il patronage, and that con- - gress will not do unless it is Ji forced by a vigorous demand on the part of the voters. ' h: The California state chamber of commerce now is promoting the hy IE idea of a commission to do for ironic California what the Hoover com-u'r-mission did for the federal gov-u- s, I( erment. It wants recommenda-'0- U tions for the organization of the lere a state's administrative branch; it d faj ants to remove the needless de-- ; I a partments and bureaus, and the a ocj needless employees on the state's fisbti payrolls. It wants, also, to so sim-alon- gj plify the state government; to re-a- e sai move overlapping jurisdiction and ettri authority, that it will be easier for wild its citizens to do business with the 30." state government, and with each . ihB. 1 Li. I thi It is a worthy idea, and one that laugh. ell could be promoted in prac- - i iay every state, and in every mit of government in all states. There would be a minimum num-- j tier of branches in every state, county or city government.

H IN WASHINGTON "MJp Senate to Move pOR THE FIRST TIME in 135 years the senate of the United States, according to present plans, will hold its sessions outside the Capitol building if and when it moves lock, stock and barrel, into the swanky, marble-walle-senate caucus chamber in the senate office building about June 30. The occasion of this historic trek across the Capitol grounds is made necessary by the reconstruction of the roofs and the removal of the unsightly temporary steel girders and framework in both the house and senate chambers. This temporary construction was placed there as a safety measure when the roofs of the two wings threatened to collapse back in 1939 and 1940. - During that construction pe-riod, the house did move out of the building and held its sessions in the ways and means chamber in the house office building, but the senate remained in the Capitol, holding its sessions in the old supreme court chamber which was vacated by that judicial body in 1935 upon the completion of the new supreme court building. The present house chamber wing of the Capitol was completed and occupied by the lower body on De-cember 16, 1857, while the senate chamber was completed two years later and occupied for the first time by the senate on January 4, 1859. The only other occasion when the congress held its sessions outside the Capitol building was after the burning of the original Capitol by the British on August 24, 1814. From that time, until the new Cap-itol building was ready for oc-cupancy in 1819, Congress met in what was then Blodgett's hotel at Seventh and E streets and later in a building erected to house them on a portion of the site now occupied by the new supreme court building. In the meantime the beautiful grounds immediately adjacent to the Capitol on both the house and senate sides resemble a construc-tion camp with high board walls surrounding temporary buildings and quarters for workers. Tardy Budgets During the 80th Republican-controlle- d congress, Democratic lead-ers belabored their Republican colleagues for failure to comply with the congressional reorganiza-tion act in setting up a legislative budget by February 15, required by the law. And today Democratic leaders are smarting under Re-publican attacks for failure to do the same thing. As a matter of fact, when the time set for agreeing on a legislative budget passed, the senate extended the time to May 1. That date has come and gone and as yet there has been no budget fixed, nor is there likely to be one set. Ways of Debate All sorts of extraneous matters creep into debates over appropria-tion bills. In the floor debate on the post office appropriation meas-ure in the senate the two South Carolina senators, Maybank and Johnston, wanted to include some $170,000 worth of cotton twine, and the battle went on for some hours and many pages in the Congression-al Record: "Senator Maybank Is it not a fact that the United States govern-ment took over the poor cotton farmer and sold it at a profit of $90,000,000? "Senator Taft (Ohio) Mr. President, if the senator will yield I will say that the gov-ernment never got the $90,000,-00- 0. That was only the figure at which it was sold to foreign countries who never paid for it. That was the net result of lend lease. "Mr. Maybank But the senator will agree as to the figure; will he not? "Mr. Taft Yes; but we got no money for it. We merely got in re-turn credits that we canceled. That is all we got for it. "Mr. Baldwin (Connecticut) It was a paper profit of the most paperish sort, was it not? "Mr. Taft That is correct." So the department of agriculture "claim of a profit by the CCC on price support for cotton is knocked into a cocked hat. No School Curbs In passage of the federal aid to schools legislation by the senate, that body decided two fundamental questions which have been moot ones for the past 30 years: (1) that illiteracy is a national problem and (2) that federal appropriations for schools does not necessarily mean federal control of schools. It has been proved definitely that nimf K By Tom Grecory HueBEe Ball 1 )l Stopped y E I Ring-- From 1 k3s Vacuum Qiffee tK ALve 5iE4r Makeh WHEN THE SEAT OF YOUR "' FLUSH -- TANK.
