The Andes have dominated Pe ru’s economy and way of life, but of great influence also has been the cold sea-currents from the south which cool her otherwise tropical coast. The first barrel of oil to be shpped from South America came from Peru, and oil, largely from along her northern coast, repre sented 34 percent of her export income. Most of this went to Ar gentina and France, and because of the loss of the European mar kets, production declined severely. Peruvian industry has made con siderable progress particularly in refineries, copper smelters, and the first tire factory on the South American west coast. Although Peru sells more abroad then she buys, by aTmost 25 per cent, this balance of trade is “favorable” in name only, since profits on the bulk of exports goes to foreign companies—largely British and United States—who own mines, oil wells, sugar and EXPERT SHOE REPAIRING Holick’s Boot Shop The A. & M.

The Indians scored two runs in the first inning and one in the second, but could not get another man around during the last five frames. The Tigers scored three tallies in their first inning, went ahead in the third with two more scores, and added another in the fifth for good measure. Dahl- berg and Lloyd pitched for the Ti gers, and Captain Manning was on the mound for the Indians. The Pirates beat Frank Ander son’s Yankees 15-10 Friday in a wild ball game. Anderson opened the first inning with a hit, and Vincent went to first on a walk. Both scored on a fielder’s choice, an error, and Schroeder’s hit to put the Yankees ahead 2-0. The Pirates came back in the second stanza with a 5-run scoring spree, and were never headed again. Stiles and Guthrie hurled for the Pirates, while Schroeder and Schaeffer were on the hill for the Yanks. The Tigers were short-handed for Monday’s game with the Mili tary Department, and went forth into the fourth inning trailing the Soldiers 7-6. In the fourth, two Military errors bunched with hits by Gray, Barnes, Andrews, and Wilson to chalk up four runs for the Cats and give them a lead that held up for the z'est of the game, Two more games remain to be played on the city league schedule, with the Yankees meeting the cellarite Orioles tonight in College Hills and the Indians playing the Pirates tomorrow at the College Park diamond.

Penberthy I would like to recommend that all, who have not already done so, read the article “Try Giving Youi*- self Away” which appears in the current issue of the Readers Di gest. The author of the article de rived a great deal o f satisfaction and pleasure from “giving himself away” through the making of constructive sug gestions to indivi duals and, firms with never a thought of re ward. He also Penberthy specialized in ex pressions of appreciation of dif ferent kinds. In doing these things he found happiness as well as a lot of new friends. I have always felt that our greatest mission in life is to be of service to our fellow man and that our real happiness is in propoi’tion to the amount of unselfish service we render. From our childhood we have been taught to “Be Ye Kind” and that “It is more blessed to give than to receive” but I am afraid these are little lessons that we too often forget and in their place are prone to adopt the atti tude of “what do I get out of it”? I agree with the writer of the ar ticle that one does not have to be rich in order to be able to give and that money gifts are not the ones of real lasting value. The really wealthy person is the one who by the giving of such gifts as a smile, a word of encourage ment, a pat on the back, and a word of appreciation, has won the love and respect of his fellow man. This person gives these things be cause it is fun and the reward he receives is in the glow he re ceives that makes the day blighter and life sweeter. The person who gives only for the financial or other benefits he will receive is in for some bitter disappointments. official correspondence.
