To Override Decisions Would Scrap Constitu-
 tiOn, He Says
(Ry Associated Press,

SAVANNAH, Ga, Nov. 1S.-An at tack on the proposal that the United States congress be given power to over rule decisions of the supreme court de- claring acts of the legislative body void was made by former Gov. Frank O.. London of Illinois in an address to- night at the opening session of the United Daughters of the Confederacy thirty-first annual convention.
 This address with speech on "Americanism" by Mrs. Frank Harold, Americus, Ga, president-general of the organization, was the principal feature of the convention's opening. Many prominent personages, including Gov Clifford Walker of Georgia, and Gen. James A. Thomas, Dublin, Ga. com mander-in-chief of the United Confed- crate veterans, were seated on the stage. Governor Walker, a brother of Mrs. Harold, welcomed the delegates on behalf of the state of Georgia.
 Blow At Constitution
 "It is seriously proposed that the congress of the United States shall be given power to overrule decisions of the supreme court declaring an act of congress void," the former chief executive of Illinois said. If this proposition is adopted the Constitution, which was finally established at such an awful cost of treasure and blood, will have become of no more slgnlflc- ance than an act of congress Whlch may be repealed by a temporary ma jority in the following year.
 If this shall happen, the states, as we know them. will disappear. They will become but mere shadows of their former selves They will finally be ruled from Washington. the seat ot au- tocratic power. The Lost Cause Is dear to the heart oT every sOutherner. But though he lost his cause, he found q greater country than any of which he had dreamed. Now. if the proposi- ton to substitute the will of congress for the sacred guarantees of the Con Stitution shall prevail, it will indeed be lost cause for which both the north and sought poured out their blodo upon hundred battlefieids.
 Time Heals Wounds
 After asserting that time had healed wounds caused by the war between the states, Mir. Lowden praised the United Confederate veterans and the Grand Army of the Republic.
 Mrs. Harold. introduced by Mrs. R. H. Chestley. Cambridge, Mass, launched into an outline of the objects of the Daughters of the Confectionery and plead for greater unity between the north and south She made no direct reference to recent attacks on the organization by the commander of the Grand Army of the Republic.

FARM AID BOARD
 TAKES RECESS
 TOGATHER DATA
Cattle Industry Will Be One Of First To Be
 Dealt With
(By Associated Press. )

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The commission appointed by President Coolidge to solve the problem of Amer ican agriculture began today to shape it's program of work so as to take advantage of the coming short session of congress for any remedial legislation it may by that time have concluded to be necessary.
 After an all day session behind closed doors the commission announced, how ever, that it would be impossible to complete its work before congress con 1ened next month and that after its session tomorrow and pending the as aembling of data on which it will base it's work, it would take three or four weeks recess.
 Cattle Industry First
 As one of the most pressing problems, Robert D. Carey, chairman of the com mission, announced that the cattle in- dustry would be one of the first sub jects studied.
 Meanwhile, Representative Tincher, republican, Kansas, a spokesman of the farm bloc, announced tonight after a conference with Senator Curtis of Kansas, the. republican whip, that all pending farm legislation would be held in abeyance until congress had the benefit of conclusions reached by the agricultural commission. He said that in fact, he did not expect the en- actment of any farm legislation at the short session and added the opinion that as to large portion of the agri- cultural sections of the west the emer- gency conditions had passed.
 Chairman Carey explained in his statement that although in view of the broad scope of the commissions work it probably would be incomplete by March 4, he thought some phases un- doubtedly would be ready for report before that time.
 Eleven bureau chiefs and members of various government commissions were called in today for consultation. All were requested to furnish informa tion as quickly as possible regarding their respective activities.

because they keep alive a sectional feel ing using this as term of reproach, she said. We do keep alive a sec tional feeling,' but sectional feeling that does not spell dislike or mistrust of the American union.
 ''It is a good thing to keep sectional feeling alive if this means that children are taught to revere devotion to d cause and the bravery of their fore fathers; when text books are revised so that historical facts may be stated without bias; when the last years Di men who fought for what they be- lieved to be right are made happy and comfortable by help which they would not accept as charity but which they willingly take from their own.
 One Union Now
 'We, as United Daughters of the Confectionery, are holding aloft the prin- ciples of our confederate fathers, yet we are thrilled when we talk of the re-dedication on the part of all of Us to the great nation which we serve Ill common, for there is but one union to- day, but one sentiment of true Amer icans-one Americanism."

FREIGHT LINES MAKE Z RECORDS
 IN PAST MONTH
October Business Exceeds Old Marks, Railway
 Heads Told
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-Railroads of the nation thus far in 1924 have es lblished seven records in the tran sportation of freight without car shortage or congestion, the car serv- ice division of the American Railway association reported to that Organiza tion today, in semi-annual session here. Four records were set in October. In one day of that month 1,O3O,2 ,211 freight cars, laden and empty, were moved. constituting, according to the report, "the greatest movement for any day in history"
 In one week of October, 1,112,345 cars were loaded with revenue freight. This exceeded by 14,S52 the previous record, made in 1923. The greatest number of cars of grain and grain pro- ducts ever loaded in single week was 72,474-another October, 1924, record. In this same month records were smashed in the loading of 422, ,89O cars of miscellaneous freight in a week and of 259617 cars of merchandise and less-than-carload lots.
 Record Movement
 Covering the year from January to October 20, there was ''the greatest movement of commodities on record The report discloses that, exclusive of coal, coke and ore, which would add 26 per cent to the grand total, 31 ,7OO,- 7S9 cars were loaded, or 361 ,162 more than in 1925.
 "A seventh high record was estab- lished in respect to the number of sur plus freight cars and serviceable loco motives in storage, when loading of revenue freight was in excess of 1,OOO,- GOO cars week. the rer ort continues. At the same time there was no. car shortage or congestion due to railroad disability"
 Grain Moved Rapidly
 Throughout the grain transit season records were broken in all sections of the country, elevators at Buffalo receiv- ing special mention for setting new high marks. As evidence of the spectac- ula. demand the railroads had met successfully, it was noted that the sugar beet movement in Michigan had been 36 per cent greater than in the previ- ous year.
 The report paid tribute to the ship pers' regional advisory boards that re- gently have been organized to cooper ate with railroads in solving traffic problems.

and the third the studio. The first is dirty, the second dusty and the third costly. It was at an uptown studio the Czar's champagne bowl was exhi- bited this week. Nothing have seen in the past ten years brought home the worlds changes with quite such a shock. Not even the war-battered vil- .lages of France.
 He presented it to the First Reg iment of Light Horse of Nuremberg. Germany, of which he was honorory colonel. It is two feet tall and two feet across the bowl, made of solid sil- yer and mounted on a rock of mela- chite chrysodor which has no equal in the world. An emerald of 160 carats, taken from the Czar's collection, is mounted on it, amid myriad of small Ter gems. The first cost of the cup was $15O,O00. Stolen during the Ger man revolution. The giver murdered in Russian cellar.
 The man who was looking at the Czar's cup was a savage, Addressed, un- shayen man of sixty or thereabouts. Yet the sleek salesman acted as though he was a crown prince. Some one said that he is the city's chief authority on work of this sort. He works on commission, but buyers count them selves fortunate in obtaining his serv- ices. He will not act for merely mil lonaire. His principal must be con- Eoisseur, also.
 And in the next studio is the story of tragedy. A man came up from noth- ing. In his age he became a patron of art. His chief pleasure was in gather ing. In acquisition. His treasures were genuine for his agents were reli- able, but he hardly knew the names of the artists whose works he bought. Now they are on the auction block. His heir has gone broke.

 He was very naughty about it. May have been a professor once. Sandwich men get fifty cents when the day i< over and plate of cakes before they go cut. Curio establishments. filled with nice, new modern curiOs. The real curio is the person who buys the junk. [ Yet maybe it is not always junk. Not long ago wise man picked up Sir Peter Lely portrait of Nell Gwynne in little second hand store. The art colony is raving over it. The same man bought a real Gainsborough for S1OO. The histories of the two paintings have not been traced but their authenticity seems accepted. The shops are filled with other old masters that won't do. For every genuine painting found fifty falsities are foisted on boob buyers. The Paris manufac- turers of art are still busy. The imita- tion often looks better than the real thing.
 Dropped into an auction of antiques the other day. An odd audience. Some look as busted as dropped plate. Others looked like electroplated million aires.
