large, expensive cars summed up his opinion
of this Overland -. Pride of Ownership!
Sterling worth, through and through! That's
the backbone of Overland's popularity.
Regardless of their financial standing, owners
know this car today as Americas outstanding

struction to put upon the action of the House of Commons In approv- Ing the governments cruiser-b build Ing program, which will cost British taxpayers 6s.00O,oOO pounds,
 Britain's action Is hard to fathom. The nation has 40 cruisers, while Japan. below 1t in the scale, has only IS. It can scarcely be claimed that the cruiser-buIlding program Is aimed at the United States, particu- larly as the British government in- sists upon completing the naval base at Singapore.

PACIFIC COASTS SUICIDE RECORD

Again We have statistics al hand show ing that California '1eads the country" in the suicide league. San pqcgo.

Los Angeles, Oak land and other cites on the Pacific coas, following in the procession,
 The high suicide rate on the Ia orac coast perhaps is explained by tho fact that many go 10 that land of promise with the expectation of ha,nE an easy time ever after ward Naturally many of them are disappointed, and seek death.

HIGHER PHONE RATES IN MASSACHUSETTS

The opposition of 157 towns and cities In Massa chusetts to higher telephone rates desired by the tele- phone company, which resulted in disputation since last December, finally resulted in a grant of a 20 per cent increase by the Public Utilities Commission of that state yesterday, thus lending color 10 the suspicion that in the business of se- curing higher rates our large-sized public utility concerns evidently can show any public utility commission full and authenticated proof that they will go broke if the higher rates are not granted
 And in the course of time there naturally are demands for more higher rates. A telephone company and a railroad can always show that it will lose enormous sums if higher rates are not obtained,
 The report is heard in Wall street that, following a Al per cent in crease in commuters rates by the New Haven recently, and in event the Long Island railroad secures coveted 20 per cent increase in such rates, the railroads throughout the entire nation will initiate a con- corted drive all sections for in- creased committing returns. The railroads around Chicago are all ready said to be making plans for this drive upon the purses of their commuters.
 The method of getting the in- creascs seems 10 be easy. It is only necessary 10 hire enough experts "

 "The whole situation presents clear example of the abuses which are possible under the name of patent office procedure, and show how easily advantage may be taken of meritorious but impecunious inventor when opposed by learned counsel" were the ringing words of Judge Thomas in his decision.

BORaH's CAMPAIGN
AGAINST COURT

In spite of Senator Borah's claim that all the truth about the World Court is not known and that some persons are falsitying the facts, 1t Is likely that his campaign against the court will not be successful.
 The most recent poll of the Sem ate, given the President Coolidge at swampscott, showed a margin Of six senators in favor Of adhesion to the court. Whether any Of those favoring the court will be influenced by Senator Borahs campaign and swerved from their intention of vot- ing for it when by consent arrange ment 1t comes up on Dec. r, re- mains 10 be seen, A spirited verbal battle In the Senate Is in prospect upon this issue, but the Idaho sen- ator cannot expect 10 gain senatorial adherents 10 his view by any such trlflng objections as he enunciated in Idaho a few days ago.
 Adherence 10 the protocol under which the World Court was estab- lished passed the House of Repre- sentatives by vote of 301 to 2S last March, It has been In the upper house that opposition centered, such opposition being led b" Senator Borah. The World Court adhesion was a policy of the Harding ad- ministration and Is the policy of the Coolidge administration also. What ever the upper house decides In De- cember, the vote will be close.

A BRITISH SUBSIDY TO AVERT STRIKE

Efforts by Premier Baldwin to avert the British coal miners strike having achieved a last-minute suc- cess at least for the time being - England is saved a period of in- dustrial chaos. The offer of sub sidy to the industry, however, if adopted as permanent govern mental policy, is bound to have se- rious repercussions in the railway, engineering and shipbuilding trades, all of which arc sorely suffering from the postwar depression in England and which will naturally demand the same sort of govern mental favors,
 The threat of the present British miners strike was of more national moment than the miners strike Of four years ago because the entire British trade union movement had agreed to back the strikers this time, while four years ago the miners were left to so it alone. That there would have been no railway transport of coal throughout Eng land was a certainty had the strike materialized; and there likewise would have been no eXportation of coal to the numerous nations which depend upon the British a"iicle for their heat. Not only would this have resulted in industrial paralysis in the British isles, but the shipping industry would likewise have been faced with a chaotic condition.
 Premier Baldwin's attempt to iengthen the seveu-hour day to enc of eight hours, at the prevailing wage rate, thus increasing the out put of coal, was a logical tifort but Of itself did not meet with a re- sponsive chord from the mule ln- dustry. The promise of subsidy to the mine owIicrs, enabling them to meet the demands of the miners un- til a final agreement is made, natu- rally was a different matter entirely as by thls arrangement the industry cannot lose, although the public pays the bills. This would hma been the case anyhow had the strike eyentuated,
