THIS WEEK Bay of & undy Poorer Religion Aids Mussolini Cheap Eggs for Soldiers Government Railroads? ? Governor Brann of Maine is unwill ing to share expenses, and President RooeeveU nfay drop the Passanmquod dj power project. That woula be a national ''nilHfortuOe. ^hlle spending billion s so freely, : It would seeml worth while to spend thlrty-elx little millions to harness tbe gigantic tide poorer in the Wt .ofrundy. r ? \ Development of that project would supply the whole -state of Maine with powaf and industrial prosperity and pay ,<0r Itself. To allow the vast power of one of the highest tides on earth to continue going to waste would be as foolish as It would be to cease using the power of Niagara. ? * ' In Milan, Cardinal Schuster, cele brating mass for those that died in the Fascist march on Rome, Indorses earnestly Mussolini's Invasion of Ethi opia, praising "the valiant army which, In intrepid obedience to the command of their fatherland at the price of their blood, open the doors of Ethiopia to the Catholic faith and the. civilization of Rome." Also, according to Associated Press, the cardinal praised Fascism as "prom ising the national morality wished by the Catholic church." Italian soldiers In Ethiopia, much surprised, can buy as many fresh eggs as they want at ridiculously low prices. Ethiopians will not eat eggs ? their religion forbids them to devour "that which might have life in the future," but they are willing to sell the eggs to the Italian soldiers and let them im peril their immortal souls by "devour ing future life" if they choose. Ethiopian tribesmen have no scruples about eating the chicken, once It Is hatched, which shows that religious scruples take interesting forms. What about tlie "future life" that the hen might have produced? Railway labor unions plan a Wash ington lobby, to promote government purchase and operation of railroads. Owners of some railroads would gladly share the expense of that lobby, If they could sell their railroads at a fair price. Running a railroad In competition with automobiles, motor busses and trucks Is like running a legitimate hotel in competition -with night Clubs and other former speakeasies. ' Russia Is a successful spy hunter, having convicted on the average one every six hours, according to "Col lier's." * If, in Russia, you are convicted of spying, no second conviction Is ever necessary or possible. These 100,000 spies, to earn their money, must keep International sus picion alive, and that helps to keep war alive. Rejoicing In the fact that "the 13 years of the Fascist regime have not passed In vain, and the world of plu tocratic and conservative egotisms is obliged to take note of this," Musso lini denounces League of Nations sanc tions aimed at him as "a preposterous crime destined to Increase disorder and distress In every country." Pan-American Air Lines asks air travelers: "Shall we serve cocktails to passengers?'' The answer should be emphatically "no." First, the average cocktail Is unfit for any stomach, except perhaps that of a carrlon-eatlng hyena ; sec ond, It hns beert proved more than once that alcohol and flying do not mix well. Tho President Inspected "fortifica tions" of the Panama canal, returning from the Pacific to the Atlantic* Unfortunately there are no fortifica tions on the Panama canal. The canal depends on Its locks and they, open to attack from the air, could easily be destroyed. No engineer will deny that. The way to have a '^fortified" canal Is to build one at sea level. In thefte spending days that might be done now, through Nicaragua. Uncle Sam would have something to show fOr his nioney more substantial than groups of weary gentlemen "rak ing leaves." There Is encouragement In the fact that "regular Jobs," not the artificial made-to-ordei' kind, are Increasing. Three hundred and fifty thousand men were hired' In September, and payrolls for September are $12,000,000 a week above' August.

Those who take a real Interest In a I residential campaign learn every dav something they ought to know about the Issues that are Involved and the men who are asking the voters to put them In a position to carry out these Issues. It 18 undoubtedly a good thing for the people of the United States that the old party prejudices are dying out When I was a child a man who loft his party to support a candidate from an opposition party was regarded as a kind of a traitor. When long years ago my father an nounced that, although he had been a life long Republican he Intended to vote for drover Cleveland, all his friends were filled with Indignation or sorrow. ? ? * That a man who had boon a Repub lican since the Civil war should mere ly because hp admired Cleveland vote for him. Instead of supporting the reg ular party candidate seemed Incredible to them. Rnf, I am glad to say, the old g*>n fleman stood his ground. And, In after years the strlrt party loyalty that was demanded been me not quite so necessary to one's standing In (he community. Today In the United States there are not anything like the stern party divisions that there used to he Men leave the ranks of old parties In which they have served faithfully, and go over to the other side without being branded as mugwumps. ? ? ? I suppose there Is nobody In polities today who knows what will happen ten or fifteen or twenty years from now. Rut I am sure that the old personal politics are wearing out, ar.d that new standards are being set up In their place. And I am convinced that thin |q all for the best Interests of the country. The party system Is not what It used to be. The expression "turn coat" has passed our. As long as you are honest and sincere, nobody will call you a "rat" for leaving one party and joining forces with another. That was proven In the last election. All yon ne?d to do Is to think and talk and read during a campaign and then Support the man you think Is best fitted for the Job. Ton may make .strikes, but men have made mistakes on election day erer since this country was organized on the basis of supporting the best man. Marriage 1?

Burdell, professor of econonv-i ics and social science at the Massa chusetts Institute of Technology. "?< The professor Is further of the opinion, based on his stories of the subject, that married men commit few crimes and less often go insane. The unmarried man has less at stake In the community because he has a lower status. Marriage Is the best Insurance In the world ? Insurance against crime, Insanity, poverty and premature death.

The Man Who Knows Whether the Remedy You are taking for Headaches, Neuralgia or Rheumatism Pains is SAFE is Your Doctor, Ask Him Don't Entrust Your Own or Your Family's Well-Being to Unknown Preparations BEFORE you take any prepara tion you don't know all about, for the relief of headaches; or tho pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, nsk your doctor what ho thinks about it ? in comparison with Genuine Bayer Aspirin. We say this because, before the discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most BO-called "pain" remedies were ad vised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of Bayer Aspirin largely changed medical practice. Countless thousands of people who have taken Bayer Ay)irin year in and out without ill effect, have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct. Remember this: Genuine Bayer Aspirin is rated among the fastest methods yet discovered for the relief of headaches and all common paina . . . and safe, for the average person to take regularly. You can get real Bayer Aspirin at on// drug storo ? simply by never asking for it by the name "aspirin" alone, but always saying BAYER ASPIRIN when you buy. Bayer Aspirin WNU ? 7 4.r> :tr?
