THRILLING TRIP
 IN CHINESE JUNK
Aged Skipper Voices Hatred For Steamers After Long
 Voyage Across Pacific

VICTORIA, B. C., Oct "A tiny Chinese junk scarcely larger than the fishing boats that sail the North Pa cific waters recently nosed her way through the fog hanging over the Straits of Juan De Fuca and made her way to anchorage in the harbor of Vic tOria, peacefully ending what is said to have been one of the most daring voyages across the Pacific Ocean.
 Captain George Waard grew tired of life on the China coast, and decided to return to Victoria. So he gathered a few tools and the necessary timbers and fashioned himself twenty-three ton ship on the lines of the Chinese fishing junks in which he proposed to sail the $500 miles of ocean between him and the port of his desire. He signed on a foremast crew of three Chinese, two of whom had never been outside the waters of HOngkong har bor, and with his Chinese wife as mate and his nine year old son as cook and cabin boy. he cast off June 21 and proceeded down the river ito wards Victoria as his log expresses 1t.
 Such was the start of the 91 days voyage which, according to the skip per of the frail craft was the rough est trip he ever made. He tells oi being driven into the Boring Sea by typhoons that all but swamped the lit

FOXBORO, Mass, Oct. Trolley cars without fare boxes; telephones without slot machines; gas meters without any register
 That's what we'll all be enjoying soon if the New Civilization" idea born here. keeps spreading.
 It's a simple idea, based on the faith that everyone has a conscience, which will be his guide. The organization backing the new movement accepts the inner self of the individual as his only asset.
 It seeks to provide the necessities of community life, accepting in return only what the conscience of the per sons impels him to give.
 Already the town boasts of two au- tomobile buses run on the new idea. Passengers, taken anywhere, day or night, pay any fare they please. If they don't think the ride is worth any thing at all. they needn't pay cent.
 Working Out Successfully
 This proved so successful that Ed gar H. Bristol. wealthy manufacturer who is father of the ''New Civiliza- tion" movement decided to expand it's scope He purchased large house which will be used as a public hospi tai and community center, as soon as alterations are completed. Each pa tron will pay only what his conscience dictates.
 There will be a. telephone for pub lie use. but there won't be any slot machine. If the caller is so inclined he may drop some money in a little box If not, he needn't pay at all.
 Bristol believes that his idea is quite practicable and that it will soor sweep throughout the country. 'T am interested" he says. "only il that which is economically sound New Civilization as you see it work ing out here today in FoxborO, is de

Some days said the Captain. they would make fair headway only to be driven back again the next.
 Then to crown all, when they were just outside the Straits of Juan De Fuca, the great hulk of a Japanese steamer bore down on them through the fog. For moment Captain Waard thought a collision inevitable He threw the tiller hard over and the junk swung around in her own length as the towering steel hull slid by not four feet away.
 Only once did they doubt that they would reach Victoria. said the Cap tain. And as for making the trip on a steamer well, this is Captain Wards opinion of them in his own words: steamers. bah! I hate 'em'' Not so the Chinese crew, however. One way passage aboard the junk was enough for them and after a short wis it in Victoria they took passage home on liner.

 There are those who say the world is going to the dogs. There are oth- CTS who predict the realization of the millennium within p years, and there are others who are satisfied with things as they are and don't want to be driven out of easy street by the muttering toilers.
 Tn starting this movement here l am interested only in that which is tangible and probable. The idea has gained prestige and now We enjoy a membership of 11O0."
 The movement is daily drawing new followers, ten cents and promise to abide by the principles of the organi- Zation being all that is required for membership.
 Business Picking Up
 The New Civilization" buses were placed in operation about six weeks ago. Each contained a coin box into which the passengers could drop what ever they thought their rides were worth. The coin boxes were opened each day by representative of To- cal bank.
 The first week showed deficit in the operation expenses of approxi- mately S46. But the people of the town have gradually grasped the idea and have become enthusiastic over it. As a result the loss has been steadily cut down until the last deficit was but a little more than S. It is expected that this will be entirely wiped out and that the bus business will soon be on 1 9 good paying basis.
 1 The founder of the movement has l equally high hopes for his hospital l and community house and plans grad ! ually to increase the scope of work until it will embrace nearly all of the towns activities.

Troubles of Average Man Are Nothing Compared to Those
 of Who's Who" Chief

CHICAGO, Oct 9.-For 22 years Al bert Nelson Marquis and his faithful blue pencil have kept company in the editorial offices of the publication, Who's Who in America" here, of which he is editor, publisher and founder, presiding over the hopes of the country's great and near great.
 Today, after over two decades of close observation, Marquis has come to the conclusion that there is no short cut to fame, but that glory goes only to him who works and waits.
 That's it." he said with a cheery smile, "renown is merely the reward of long perseverance and consistent accomplishment. Luck-I don't be- lieve in it-and if there is such a thing. it enters only remotely into the possibility of any mans chance of be- coming famous"

XXX, BECOMES MAIN ISSUE IN
 TEXAS POLITICS
Rumors Circulated That Klan Candidate Will Be Refused
 Senate Seat If Elected

FORT WORTH, Tex, Oct. 7.-The Ku KluX Klan issue has wiped out party lines in Texas and has set the stage for the bitterest campaign in years.
 And for the first time in the history of Texas, Democratic candidate for the United States senate will have real opposition when the elections are held.
 George E. B. Teddy, a 91-year-old lawyer of Houston, fusion candidate of anti-Klan Democrats and of Repub- licans, is opposing Earle B. Mayfield, nominated by Democrats for the Unit ed States senate after a primary in which Klanism was the issue. May field never intimated in any way that he was prO-Klan, but letters bearing the signature of A. D. Ellis. grand dra- gon of the Klan. urging his nomina- tion, were sent broadcast, urging mem bers to support Mayfield. These let ters declared the candidates member ship in the Klan.
 Ferguson Ran
 Opposing Mayfield in the primary was James E. Ferguson, former gov ernor. Ferguson had been impeached while governor, and indicted for mis- application of state funds. Also two years ago Ferguson left the Democra- tic party to form the American party. These things were sufficient to cause the loss of many anti-Klan votes which will now support Teddy, say the fusion managers.
 Teddy is receiving support from Cul len P. Thomas, Clarence Ousley and Senator c. A. Culberson, three candi- dates in the first primary. His man. ager is Colonel Henry L. Linsley of Dallas, past national commander of the American Legion.
 A few sidelights on the campaign: While Teddy was at the state uni versity, he led a student demonstra- tion against Ferguson. Ferguson came back by vetoing appropriations for the university. This led to Fergu- sons impeachment. But When Ferguson opposed Mayfield in the primaries, Teddy lent his full support to Ferguson
 And now Ferguson is appearing in | behalf of Teddy.
 Rumor Circuates Reports are being circulated that ! should Mayfield be elected, the senate will refuse him seat on account of his alleged Klan affiliations. l Opponents of Teddy have carried the fight to the state attorney general I claiming his candidacy is illegal as 1 Democrats and Republicans are violat | ing election laws in endorsing the same candidate. They urge this par ticularly as many of the Democrats l voted at the two primaries. Mayfield based his primary cam paign on the prohibition issue. bu

 on Klanism. Nor does he spare the ! organization in his speeches. He ac
