Budapest, Oct. S.-Austria already has entered upon negotiation with the various powers for the recognition of the nSw Kingdom of Bulgaria and the establishment of peaceful rela- tions between Turkey and Bulgaria.
 Baron von Arenthal, the Foreign Minister, made this announcement in his speech at the opening sitting Of the Commons delegates today.
 The Austrian newspapers and politi- clans have steadfastly denied that there was any understanding between Austria and Bulgaria in. the recent double movement, but Austria's adop- tion of a protesting role toward Bull garia indicates a strong community of interests,

SOME SANE sUFERsTITToNs.
Palpable Phenomena Which Science En
 deavors to Ignore.

deavors to Ignore.
 London P. T. O.
 There are many beliefs which the strictly scientific mind would call superstitious which are not really superstitious at all. Only the other day an aunt of mine in whose veracity I have the most profound confidence, told me the following story, which, I may add rests on corroborative ev- idenee: Sixty years afo the aunt in ques- tion. having just come homo for the hoIi- days was looking forward to a short visit to a friendly family.
 Two days before her visit she noticed that her mother looked disturbed in tho morn- ing: the day before the visit her mother announced that they were not going to Garth. No reason was forthcoming. but on the very night of their proposed arrival. there was tropical thunderstorm. the wells in the hills burst and flooded over. the Garth was overwhelmed. and every soul in 1t perished. Then my grandmother ex- plained that for two nights running she had woke up from sleep with the words DO not so to the Garth ringing in her ears.
 In this case the event proved cleary enough that it would have been .supersti- tIous'' or foolish. at all events. to have dis regarded the warning voice; and yet, in a somewhat similar instance, also authentic the omen was disobeyed and led it's victims to destruction. A few years ago husband and wife put off their holiday from the Tuesday to the Thursday. They were going to Channel Islands, if remember rightly, and on the Monday night the wife dreamed that she saw the boat wrecked on the rocks. She told her friends. and she and her husband sailed on the Thursday.
 It was the Thursday boat that was wrecked. and they were among the lost. It would be very difficult. 1t seems to me- to form a plausible theory of this mes sage that went so fatally astray that was delivered to the destruction of the recip- ients. But believe that researcn Woulo shayr that many of these ''warings'' are nurposoless or accidental The Cornish farmers dream, twice repeated of the as- sasEination of Mir. Perceyai did not save the stateman's life Perhaps it is sheer ac- cident which allows us these momentary ellmpses of that mysterious region m which there is neither past nor iuture- nrI, an everlaEting Now.

ACKNOWLEDGE THE CORN"

To the Editor of the Evening Star.
Not long G you gave an interest
ing explanation of the origin of
the phrase 81 acknowledge the
corn in which you stated that 1t
arose from the incident OF a negro
caught with a stolen sack of corn, who
acknowledged the theft of the corn but
denied that he had taken the sack. 1t
is an ingenious explanation, but 1 have
heard another which I beg to offer you
for what it may be worth.
II acknowledge the corn In the YER
sion 1 have been told is correct, was
originally a political term. During a
congressional debate in 1928 Andrew
Stewart made the assertion that Ohio,
Kentucky and Indiana sent their hay
stacks, cornfields and fodder to the
city of New York to be sold. This
statement was not literal enough to
suit Congressman Wickliffe, and he rose
to deny it, declaring that the States
sent "horses. mules, cattle and hogs"

much congested Is n centre oft travel In the world. Mayor Eaussing has
earnestly favored the construction OF a subway under the our Corners for

will be needed on the main ines of travel in Newark to relieve III streets of

DO security for municipal ownership or control o. the system when built.
