GLOUCESTER, Mass, October 12.-

yesterday brought the schooner Co
1umbia home over a 40-mile course
just l minute and seconds ahead of
Capt. Clayton Morrissey's Henry Ford

fishing fleet championship.
SO evenly matched were the yes

night as to their sailing qualities.
The race was won in the last six
miles. after the vessels had contested
four legs of the course with varying
advantage. but on fairly even terms.
On a 10-mile windward reach, both
shippers overstood the mark. Pine,
well to leeward and ahead, tackled to
port and crossed the bow of the Ford.
He found he could not fetch the mark,
tackled back in front of Morrissey
blanketing him completely, and then,
in his own good time, filled and was
off on the port tack once more.

note indicating the action which the
imperial government wishes the
League of Nations to take regarding
the Anglo-Italian demarche for con.
cessions in Abyssinia was published
yesterday, after being held for full
week in the leagues archives.
The note reiterates the absolute in
dependence of Abyssinia and asks that
the note be registered and published
in the same manner as the British
and Italian exchanges on the subject.
This request, which might be taken
as an effort by the Abyssinian gov
ernment to interpret the Anglo-1talian
documents, is refused by the Leagues
secretary general, Sir Eric Drum

In a letter to the Abyssinian rep

countries, has just published book entitled 1.-THE

This is more evidence that the corn belt COM

last winter and has just met at Des Moines is now
on warm trail when it says the farmer gets little
from the tariff. The committee went ahead to say
in effect THAT the farmer get more benefits

SENATOR REEDS SUGGESTION

There is food for thought in what Senator David
A. Reed of Pennsylvania says
He advocates in effect six months boycott of
France by American tourists If the French continue
"unwarranted and unjust outbufsts' against Amer
cans. Absence of American visitors who spend mil
lions of dollars in France every summer, Senator
Reed says, would show the French what folly it
is to behave so outrageousy toward Nation that
feels for them nothing but friendship and good will
French politicians and editors have badly ad-
vised the people Of France.
But American tourists, also, have an unfortunate
habit of leaving their manners at home when they
go abroad In France they apparently at their
worst and do much that is calculated to irritate their
host W.s
Absence of American dollars would prove harm
full to French finances, but might not be nearly SO
harmful as a series of outbreaks against American
tourists which might lead to a strained diplomatic
situation. Cordially prevails between the govern.
ments Of France and the United States. Americans

IT'S FAST COMPANY

Jack Delaney. who recently the light heavy

bly, knows that he's in fast company The activi
ties of the lightheavy division in the last few years
have completely overshadowed the doings of the
heavyweights and established name for fighting
that Delaney must hump to keep up. ~ j
Berlenbach, the tteholder, fought any one
who looked sideways at him, and we hope Delaney
will do the same. Pugilists are given to the world
for that purpose. There day when heavy
weights fought also, and that hasn't been 1000 years
ago, either.
The ringsiders want fights, and lately the heavy
weight division has come to mean but one thing
-'heavy gate or no fight. The heaves have them
selves to blame for the shift in popularity to light
heayies
Pretty soon. except for press reports about sign

More boys and girls have been

William II. Remy asserted today, on

were convicted in Criminal Court.
I'm wager that if complete rec
ords were available it would be found
that 80 per cent of those convicted
of felonies would be found to be
minors" the prosecutor said. an
all my experiences 1 have never
seen so many boys and girls under
age hailed into court as have been
in the last few months"
Sixty Minors
But records dispute the prescott
or's figures. During the period, only
sixty minors have been committed to
The Indiana State Farm or the re-
formatory. The total number Of con-
victions was $50. some persons hav-
ing been convicted on more than one
charge.
Liquor law violations lead all the
rest. Eighty persons were convicted
Of blind tiger charges during the
first half of the year, seventy-nine
on various liquor-law charges and
sixty-two on drunkenness charges.

OCEAN ADVENTURE BY PROXY
-By MRS WALTER FERGUsON--

III you can't go adventurng upon the high SEAS the
nexr best thing is to read about somebody who can.
Some time ago, William Beebe world famous ex-
piorer and naturalist, accompanied by number
ensts started out upon the ship Arcturus to visit the
strange Sargasso Sea and to find about the won
drous things which lie in the southern ocean
The report of this voyage is now to be had In book
form, and makes thrilling reading. Sailing over the
very same spots where once travelled Columbus upon
that voyage which to end with the sight of the
small light which proved beacon to guide cviliza-
ton to world, Beebe transmits to you a sense
or the vastness and the eternal sameness of the
ocean, which harbors life similar and yet so differ
ent from that which is everlastingly the
same and yet everlastingly changing.
The ocean Is the great mother of all living From
her depths the first protopasmic existence emerged
Ocean enfolds secrets which perhaps no man will ever
penetrate although he is making brave voyages into
her fathomless depths and finding out things about
the life that ourtshes in her dark which seem
almost beyond the grasp of the imagination
These men on the Arcturus put on helmets and
walked the bed. They found many Pc
cuiar fishes never before by human eyes.
They invaded small island the nesting place of
the great abatrosses who spend nearly all their lives

To the most of these birds only exist in fiction
and poetry They the most wonderful flyers of
their kind and keep up with the fastest ocean

twelve feet. They awkward on land but in the
air they sail through thousands of miles of mitless
space.

THE OUTSTANDING ACHIEVE
MENT

The annual report of the Federal prosecutor
from his district points to the Squbb whisky pros
ecutions as one of outstanding victories for law
and order.
It is with pride that he points the convictions of
the men who conspired to turn loose the STOCK Oh
distillery upon the bootleg market
There is the proud boast that these men were
sent to prison for violating the prohibition laws
It is unfortunate that the record stops there for
that would have been a real accomplishments and
achievement
It is always triumph when law conquers and
the criminal is brought to justice
But the people will remember what happened
after the Squbb distiery was seized andth whisky
taken by the Government officials.
They will remember with not so much pride, the
fact that of that stock of whisky approximately
$4,000 worth of it taken from the Federal
Building in this city and turned back into bootleg
or other channels.
They will remember that this part of the history
of that case exposed upon the floor OF Congress
by Socialist from New York, not by any member
of the Indiana delegation<or by Senator from
Indiana
They will remember that the United States mar
shall in whose custody the whisky was placed, first
denied that any whisky missing, then declared
impossible to tell whether any was gone.
They will remember that upon confessions,
three Negro janitors watchmen of the Federal
Building were given sentences of four months in
jail, six months in Jail and year in prison. for
stealing this whisky.
That, of course, is outstanding achievement
of which the Federal prosecutor may be proud.
That is the deterrent to crime which will put
fear in the hearts of any one who may have the
opportunity and the inclination to steal $4,000 worth
of whisky from the Government
1t is unfortunate that the Government can not
boast that it has such efficient and honest servants
of all sorts that no whisky taken. from crmians
again gets back into beverage circles.

Everything is new. or has that APP
pearance, whcih adds more charm to

During the first part of the show
House is down in the audience and
by means of the advice he is con-

the stage is able to have quite a
bit of fun of an intimate kind.
The musical and dance numbers
are excellently handled by the Choir
US and leads and as usual there are
one or two that stand out a bit from
the rest. In one of the numbers
the tenor sings Just a Cottage
Small" in a manner that pleases.
He also makes fine showing in
what is the prettiest number of the
show. qhe New Years number. This

the type that only the largest re.
