Danger to Their Souls
MaJ. L. B. Angus, British financier,
addressing the American Bankers' as
sociation, says:
‘T/onfldence has re
turned to the Unit
ed States, fear has
declined, monetary
velocity will In
crease. There will
he an r Immediate
hoom—first,. In con
sumer goods; sec*
ond, In plant and
^machinery; third.
In housing Indus
tries.’'
The British ma
jor—m ay all he
says be verified
Arthar Brl.b™, ^ m|lItIpl | ed 5y
ten—says truly there is any amount of
money In America, but It “revolves"
too slowly. It will soon speed up and
"revolve,” or change hands thirty-five
times a year. *
If Lloyds would Insure the accuracy
of the major’s prediction, a good many
would buy policies.
The particularly offensive plan to
buy In (lermany steel to build the
Trlborough bridge In New York will
probably not go through. It Is ex
plained by those concerned that they
can buy 1,000,000 pounds of German
•teel piling for less than ha.1^ the
American price; as a further “ren’son"
It Is said “^American firms submitted
Identical bids."
The government’s blue eagle was
Invented to prevent prlCfc cutting; but
that Is not the question, nor Is the dif
ference In price or the fact that work
is taken from American workers to
give It to German workers 'the most
Important fact. Buying steel In Ger
many, helping to finance the German
«teel Industry and Mr. Hitler’s pro
gram, with American dollars, would
seem to Indorse Hitler’s program of
persecution. That Is the Important
fact
Officers of the American air corps,
Capjs. A. W Stevens and Orvil Ander
son, rose above the earth Into the
stratosphere to a height-greater than
any human being had ever reached,
with the possible exception, of course,
pf Elijah going up In his chariot of fire.
The American officers radioed: “We
are at 74,187 feet, trying for r 80,000
. feet.’’ They did not go higher, but
broke all records.
Seventy-four thousand one hundred
and eighty-seven feet Is more than 14
miles, 2,000 feet higher than the unoffi
cial Russian record of 72.200 feet
A movie news reel photographer In
Ethiopia, Edward Genock, was assault
ed when he tried to make moving pic
tures of warriors at Harhr. The Ethi
opians beat the camera man, explain
ing afterward. “We shall lose our souls
If we are photographed.” That will
surprise Hollywood, where the belief
Is the other way around. Once, It was
generally believed, even by real ('hrls

In It at Intervals yon would kill the
original. Man Is a superstitious biped.

Quezon Inaugurated First President of Philippines—Co-
Ordinator Berry Has Troublea-^-ReassuranceSyfor
Business Men—Armistice Day Celebrations.

Manuel Quezon
OELF-GOVERNMENT because a real-
^ Ity for the Philippines on Novem
ber 15, according to schedule, and It Is
now up to the Islanders to utilize their
Independence wisely
and safely, with only
general supervision by
the United States. In
the“ presence , of a
great throng of dls-
tlftgulshed persons In
the magnificent legis
lature building at
Manila, Manuel Que
zon, veteran' advocate
of independence, was
Inaugurated as the
first president of the
commonwealth. RepresentingtheUnlted
States were Vice President Garner,
Speaker Byrns and a large party of
senators and representatives with their
wives. Many foreign governments sent
unofficial observers, and the ^leading
statesmen of the Islands were present.
After Quezon' had taken the oath of
office, Sergio Osmena, vice president,
and the members. of the new uni
cameral legislature were sworn In.
President Roosevelt was personally
represented by Secretary of War Dern,
who made a pleasant speech and read
the proclamation,\simultaneously Is-'
sued in WashIngton\terminating the
old government of the Islands and es
tablishing the commonwealth govern
ment which Is to lead to complete In-
dependence of the archloelago In ten
signs of better business, the Tlmep
say’8*r „ V ■ .
years.’ A cablegram of congratulation
also was received from Mr. Roosevelt.
Because of the danger of outbreaks
by the extremist followers of Emilio
Aguinaldo who have opposed Quezon,
the constabulary was out In full
force, thousands of Its members being
brought In from all over the archi
pelago.
The day before the Inauguration the
legislature held Its finaj/session and
Frank Murphy, the last of the gov
ernors general, appeared before it to
review the accomplishments of the
American regime that lasted 36 years.
“Having found democracy good .for
Itself, America believes It will be good
for the Filipinos” he said. Mr. Mur
phy was then sworn In as high com
missioner of the new government.
’ The entire American delegation at
tended a grand reception and ball
given by Mr.^Quezon In- honor of Mr.
Murphy.
Not long ago, when foreign coun
tries were starving, America sent over
American corn, and the foreign conn-
trlea. would not eat It. Even Russia
refused.
Now, thanks to various devices for
persuading our farmers to produce as
little ns possible, the United States
Imports more than 20.000,000 bushels
of corn In one year.
Shortage of corn means shortage of
food for hogs, and that meant expen
eive “hog moat." pork chops and bacon.
Somebody always has to pay the hill,
and now it appears to be those that
eat. a decided majority.

At Maryland’s Pimlico race track a
horse named Axican. winning the
$1,000 cel ay steeplechase, paid $340.40
for a $2 betting ticket, 170 times the
amount paid. That news will cause
many unfortunate geese to lose sev
eral times $340. Nobody ever won at
race track gambling in the long run
If that were possible, who would'sup
port bookmakers and tracks?
Speaking In Arlington natlonffr cem
•*ery, the President warned the conn
try that there is danger of war. urging
“adequate defense on land, on sea, and
in air.’’
He knows, as does everybody, that
defense, first In the air, and second
• under the water. Is most Important
President RoosWelt announced the
early “consummation of a commercial
agreement between Canada and the
United States,” referring to “our two
peoples, each Independent In them
selves, closely knit by ties of blood
and common heritage, with standards
of life substantially the same.”
While eleven lawyers and clients dls
cussed the sale of a window-cleaning
business In New York’s Brownsville
r four young gunmen entered, said
pleasantly, "Reach for the moon, gen
tlemen,” meaning “Stick ’em up.” Thf
bands went up; the gunmen walked
out with $2,261 In cash.
That was not playing the game. It
is customary for lawyers to get money
from gunmen, although, doubtle^.
these were not that type of lawyer.

M AJ. GEORGE L. BERRY, Indus
trial coordinator of the New
Deal, Is having a hard time co-ordi
nating Industries. An Industry-labor
conference has been t . w „
arranged for Decern- ■ A
her 9 in Washington,
but it Is evident that
some • very consider
able industries will not
be represented. First,
the Ford Motor com
pany refused curtly to
send a representative;
then the Automobile
Manufacturers’ associ
ation objected to the
affair, announcing "Its
opposition to any re
vival of the NRA, though most of Its
members signed the old NRA code;
and next came a sharp letter from the
National Hardwood Lumber associa
tion, one of the country’s oldest and
largest trade associations, tlatly re
fusing to attend the conference. The
letter, written by J. W. McClure of
Chicago, secretary of the association’s
board of directors, labeled any.. at
tempt to Impose £ new NRA on Indus
try as "impractical, unworkable, un
enforceable. a menace to respect for
all laws and therefore opposed to
public interest.”
Nevertheless, the conference will be
held, and representatives of labor are
expected to advocate a plan for li
censing industry, a proposal that all
government contractors comply with
code provisions ami the 30-hour week.
* i 'HAT story, originating with the
Deseret News of Salt Lake City,
that George Norris 4 had said he would
not seek re-election* to the senate from
Nebraska, seems to have been at
least premature. The veteran senator
says.he will make his decision at elec
tion time next year, and not earlier.
"A Campaign would be a small dis
turbance, compared to the trouble my
not being a candidate has cost me,”
he said In Los Angeles. “I have re
ceived hundreds of letters from all
parts of the United States urging me
to run next year.”
A RMISTICE day wag celebrated’ In
the United States more generally
and elaborately than It had been slncd
the first of those occasions seventeen
years ago. Chief of
all the ceremonies,
naturally, was that
at Arlington National
cemetery in Washing
ton, where many thou
sands gathered to
hear an address by
President Roosevelt
Standing before the
tomb of the Unknown
Soldier, the Chief Ex
ecutive paid a brief
but eloquent tribute ^ resia « r 't
to the gallantry oT Reo * ev * lt
America’s fighting men in the World
war, set forth America's hopes- and In
tentions for world peace, and announced
the imminent signing of a trade treaty
with Canada which Prime Minister
Ring had been negotiating In Wash
ington.
At exactly 11 o’clock the President
bared his head -and stood silent for a
minute, as did millions of his fellow
citizens'all over the land. The Presi
dent next placed a wreath on the
Uilknown Soldier’s tomb. For six
hours, afterward, uniformed organiza
tions marched up the hill in Arlington
and laid their wreaths at the tomb.
Tbe celebratlon in the^national cap
ital was culminated by a ball ar
ranged by the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. Congressional Medal of Honor
men headed the list of guests, others
being cabinet officers, diplomats and
high officials of the army, navy and
marine corps.

the slaying of a Japanese sailor there
and landed a naval unit 2,000 strong
which occupied the Hongkev> section
of the city.
As the Japanese force began patrol-
ing with fixed bayonets and full war
equipment, international settlement au
thorities mobilized a White Russian
regiment of Cossacks under Col. F. R.
W. Graham, British army officer de
tailed as commander of the local vol
unteer units. The Cossacks, paid by
the international settlement, constitute
small standing army for the foreign
qiiVter. ? -
The Chinese were terrified and
thousands of them fled from the na
tive quarter to the International set
tlement, believing the Japanese Intend

Japanese government denied, hut It de--

“I shall never forget the 'pasV I

and prosperity to our Greece!”
Following the ceremony, the forty-
five year-old monarch, with the Princes

giving at the Greek orthodox church.
G OV. CYLDE L 1 . HERRING of Iowa
and Gov. Floyd Olson of Minne
sota made a bet of one hog on the
football game between the universities
of thefir states. Herring lost, and paid
by delivering a fat porker to Olson.
That seemed all right, but Virgil Case,
a vice crusader and editor of a Des-
Molnes monthly paper, Immediately"
swore out a state warrant for the ar
rest of Herring on charges of gambling,
and said he would file federal charges
against Olson.
Under Iowa statutes, gambling Is a
misdemeanor punishable by a maxi
mum fine of $.">00 and. a year In prison.
The 'federal charge Is a felony. Case
said, punishable by a $o,000 fine and a
prison sentence.
Neither governor appeared to be
perturbed by the charges. Herring
named Olson as his counsel, along with
Senator Dan Steck of Iowa, who ac
companied him to St. Paul to deliver
the pig.
I F SECRETARY ROPER in address

speaking w’lth - nuThoritaUve knowledge
of the intentions of the administration,
business may feel considerably reas
sured. He said “the breathing spell
which we are now enjoying is to be the
end of governmental regimentation ”
Vie declared business was the “scape
goat” of the dejw-ession and he upheld
ihe profit systerm Of Mr. Roosevelt’s
announcement of a "breathing spell,”
the secretary said:-
"Tlds declaration of the President
Is clear-cut and concrete. It means
specifically that the basic program of
reform has been completed. It means
that business no longer needs to feel
any uncerthlnty as to what may come
In the future with respect to govern
mental measures.”
According to a Washington dispatch
In the New York Times, Informal or
ders have been Issued by President
Roosevelt to administrative officials to
cut federal expenditures under the
1937 budget to $500,000,000 less than
the newly estimated total for 1£B6.

King Victor
Emmanuel
V ICTOR EMMANUEL, king of Italy,
celebrated hi^ sixty-sixth birth
day rather quietly because of the war
In which his people are engaged In
Africa. He reviewed
a parade of armed
forces, and with him
was the real ruler of
he country, Benito
Mussolini. II Duce
then appeared on the
balcony of his Venezia
palace to. address a
great throng of cheer
ing citizens in the
plaza. He spoke just
these two sentences:
"The forces you
hatfe seen this morn
ing with all their weapons, and espe
cially In their spirit, are ready to de
fend Italy’s interests in Europe, Afri
ca or anywhere.
"In one month we have regulated
two old accounts (apparently the Ital
ian defeats at Aduwa and Makale,
Ethiopia, In 1896) and the remainder
will be settled later.”
Mussolini that same evening sent to
the nations participating in the sanc
tions against Italy a formal protest
against their action, and warned them
that Italy would be forced Into re
prisals with serious consequences to
the economic world.
Dispatches from Rome said Pope
Pius was making a supreme effort to
persuade the League of Nations to
postpone the imposition of sanctions,
believing this not only would spare the
world great economic disorder but also
would increase tremendously chances
for settlement of. the Italo-Ethioplan
war, which might.come through col
lapse of the Ethiopian resistance.
Meanwhile the Italian armies in
Ethiopia were advancing steadily to
ward the interior from both the north
and south. The strategic towns of
Makale and Gorraliel were occupied
practically without resistance.
Halle Selassie lost one of his ablest
commanders in the death of General
Afework. who was struck by an Italian
bomb splinter at Gorrahei.
"^■OT of vast importance, but Inter-
estlng enough to command the
presence of Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace and 100,000 other persons, was
the twelfth annual national corn husk
ing contest held on a farm at the
village of Newtown, Ind.
The winner was Elmer Carlsen,
twenty-six years old, of ^udubon coun
ty, who was competing against 17
opponents, the winners and runner;
ups of nine midwestern states’ con
tests. Carlsen shucked 41.52 bushels
of the golden corn in 80 minutes, which
means that he ripped the ears from
the stalks, tore the flimsy husks from
them and pitched a gross weight of
2,995 pounds into his wagon.
Carlsen set a new world's record,
the old one being 36.9 bushels, which
mark, was beaten also by four others
of the
a check for $100 given by the Prairie
Farmer.

NCE more Jefferson Caffery,
American ambassador to Cuba,
has been saved from assassination, the
intelligence operatives of the Cuban
army having discov
ered and thwarted the
plot on the eve of Its
execution. Dispatches
from Havana said the
army officials believed
the plot was nipped
by the arrest of Cesar
Villar, leader of the
Confederation of La
bor; that the assassin
ation was to have
taken place when Mr.’
Caffery left the em
bassy for home on No
vember 1, and that six automobiles
were ready to carry the assassins to
a place of refuge. They believed the
radicals who seek
to provoke American Intervention In
Caba and hope thib would bring
on a revolution. It was said 29 men
had been sworn to kill Mr. Cillery and
certain others.

Superstition Rules Many
Activities, Especially
* in England.
Old superstitions remain and new
ones are added.. When winners In
the Irish Sweep were asked to say
to what they attribute their good
luck, a heavy percentage replied that
they had a “lucky number" to thank.
(The number 13 was considered both
lucky and unlucky.)
Others attributed their good for
tune to spiders, “money spiders” par-
Mouhtily, and one individual believed
he won because he had carried a
piece of coal about with him since
the dawn of 1933. One gave the
credit to a fall of oak leaves upon
him, and another wrote: "Last year
was the first time that swallows built
on my property, and my wife said
Immediately, ‘Oh, don’t disturb them,
swallow^ bring good luck.’”
-In England superstition Is not con
fined to the countryside; It is to be
fqpnd even In the center of business
Londqp. No member, of the Roths
child family, for instance, will shake
ands with a customer In his own
filyik of place of business. The
RorHschilds consider It unlucky to
do so>
Agaih\London’s Bush house has

Conestoga Wagon Driver*
First to Keep to Right
Why do American drivers keep to
the right Instead of to the left as la
England and some Continental coun
tries? In the new Columbia Encyclo
pedia drivers of the famous Cones
toga wagons are credited with origi
nating .the custom because they rede
the left wheel horse. The wagons,
often called “ships of inland com
merce,” carted'freight over the Alle
gheny mountains before the rail
roads were tyuilt in 1850.
The Conestoga wagon originated
In Pennsylvania before the Revolu
tion, according to the encyclopedists.
It was pulled by a sfx-horse team
and was capable of carrying a five-
ton load. The bottom of the wagon
box was curved, rising at both ends
so .that In going up and down hills
the goods ^ould shift less easily and
the end-gate be subject to less strain.
The prairie-schooner was a modifica
tion of the Conestoga wagon.

Sugar Causes Brilliant
Leaf Colors of Autumn
/
It’s not an early frost, as common
ly supposed, that produces the most
colorful autumn leaves, says the
United States Forest Service s It’s a
late frost—and the sugar in the leaf
—that gives us the brilliant colors.
Just the right combination of tem
perature and moisture is needed. The
best..colors come when the thermom
eter doesn’t quite reach the freezing
point for several weeks during the
latter part of September and through
October.
Silviculturists explain that be
fore the leaves fall a layer of cells
forms at the base of the leaf, which
ultimately loosens the leaf, and, when
i*t drops off, forms a scar. If frost
doesn’t arrive too soon, this layer
forms early and quickly. It holds
more sugar in the leaf and the sweet
sap causes the brilliant reds and
oranges and yellows that delight the
eye. This is not only” true of the
gorgeous sugar maples in the north,
but of most of the colorful hardwood
trees—the oaks, elms, birches, other
maples, sweet gum, black gum. hick
Qry, dogwood, and many others. When
frost comes too early the leaves drv
and lose their sugar before they
have time to take on high color.
