CAUSE FOR THANKFULNESS

Porto Rico might we'll offer a prayer
of Thanksgiving for deIiverance from the
recent storm and a suppIication to de-
liver US from lightning and tempest;
from plague. pestilence and famine.
For, while details Of damage and loss
are still incomplete, it is apparent that
the storm was not oe as great force as
was at first feared and whatever we
may have suffered there is still much to
be really thankful for.
Many individual losses doubtless will
prove to be heavy. Certain crops or
certain localities may appear to have
suffered unduIy, Delayed c%ommunica'
ton and the fear that comes with I'M
certainty have been distressing factors
in the past few days. The holidays
with half hearted attention to business
have not been beneficial under the cir
cumstances.

the damage done seems to be doubtful.

Though it cannot be maintained that
organized athletics is a neyer-faiIing
specific for the prevention of crime,
there are substantial grounds for be-
lieving that it is one of the more potent
and benefcent agencies for keeping boys
and girls out of mischief and for al
fording harmless channels for super
abundant animal spirits. Moreover, II
athletics teaches anything, it teaches a
sense of fairness and craftsmanship.
Criminal instinct cannot thrive in a
boy who has been STEPPED in the ideas of
honor which are |inseparabie from all

spectacular, have proved ~singuIarly eff
fective.
Every writer on the period Of Iawless-
ness through which we are passing has
directed attention to the steadily de-
creasIng age Of persons arrested for
crime. In New York City and State the
average age is now under twenty-five
wears. and the number of arrests has
sbeen increasing at a djsheartening rate.
Study of the backgrounds Of these young
criminals seems to warrant the cOncIu'
( sion that they went wrong, not for lack
Of bereficent home influence, but because
parentaI guidance between the ages Of
and twenty afforded no training for
the freedom and responsibility of adult
shte.
Such training can sometimes be gi ven
outside the home more successfully than
within it. The Boy Scout is only one of
a dozen organizations which h ave
achieved distinguished success along
this line.
A local association which has a re-
markable record to its credit is the Pub
lic Schools Athletic League of the City Of
/. New York. Public and private initiative,
working hand in hand, have enabled
this association to furnish school boys
with armories to play in the winter,
Fairgrounds for summer use. athletic
equipment, trophies, medals and oppor'
tunities to engage in competitive games
under supervision. Four hundred thous-
and public, school students are enrolled
in this organization and take part in its
activities. In the past twenty years more
than five million youngsters of school
age have been connected with it..
Friends of the league declare that during
this twenty year period not a single one
of these five million members appears
on the record as having been arrested
for crime and not one has been sent to a
reform school.

BY SUPREME court

Washington, Oct. 11-(P-Sale to

court.
The courts opinion, handed down
by Justice Butler, held the govern

sions by the federal district court and

missing complaint.
The government contended the sale

ulacturers had conspired to maintain

the German patents and trademarks.
Inc sale of the German patents.
the government said, had been I'M
lawfully made at nominal prices by
the alien property custodian to him
self as head of the foundation and
without competitive bidding. Fur
Their. 1t contended that the sale was
made possible through the fraudulent
deception of President Wilson and
other officials.
Discussing legality of the sale. the
court pointed out that A. Mitchell
Palmer while alien property custo-
dian and latter as attorney general.
had advocated seizure and sale of the
Chemical Industries of the enemy.
The opinion analyzed developments
consumated by President Wilson's
executive order of December 8, 1918,
finding that congress in the exercise
OF its war powers had delegated au-
thority to the president and that he
had legally designated Frank L.
Polk to act for him in the matter.
The orders Issued by Polk, authoriz-
ing the alien property custodian to
sell at private sale to the Chemical
Foundation without advertisement
and upon such terms and conditions
as he deemed proper We're found by
the court to be in accordance with
law.
The court declared the inevitable
conclusion must be reached that the
president had power to authorize the
sale and the alien property custodian
to make 1t.

EXERCISE RIGHTS

Philadelphia. Oct. 11-(P)-A plea
to the millions of voters in the Unit
ed States to exercise their right of

today.
The duties Of peace are as vital
as those of war" said President Coo

Legionaires. I'm sense they are
more So" he added. "Shirkers in
peacetime are to be condemned as
severely In peacetime as in war.
I'VE cannot retain our representa-
tive form of government if we do not
keep it representative" he said. TOO
much stress cannot be laid on the
necessity of 'getting-ou the vote"

election
Wilder Metcalf, of Lawrence. Kan,
chairman of the Legion's finance

The eighth annual convention of
the Legion opened in the auditorium

grounds, with a background of eX-
hibits that mark $50 years of pro-

triotic fervor that has characterized
It's national gatherings.
The 1000 delegates and alternates
cheered National Commander Nc

that the American Legion now had
1929 members, an increase of 49,

SAYS BRITISH
LABOR WAS FORCED
into GENERAL STRIKE

Brunswick, Me-, Oct. 11.-Profes-
sor Wilfred II. Crook of Bowdoin
College, who recently returned from
England, where he passed the sum
mer studying the causes and effects
OF the general strike in Great
Britain, was the speaker at the
meeting of the Brunswick Rotary
Club today. Professor Crook, who
is of English birth, and Prof. Ro-
land II. Cobb, also of the Bowdoin
College faculty, were able to come
in very close contact with leaders
on both sides and obtained a vast
fund of valuable information on the
causes and effects of the strike.
Professor Crook spoke in part as
follows: 1.-The labor problem today
is international. Cotton prices in
cur southern states are low. This Is
partly due to Lancashire mills run
ming only one week in three. This
in turn, is due to the present high
price of coal in Britain, whether
domestic or imported. So does the

Coal is the setting III which the
general strike took place. A group

ness and industrial organizations

A state of cut-throat competition in

return to the gold standard in
Britain made present coal produc-
ton costs too high. The miners We're
asked to bear the burden by cuts in
wages and heightened hours. Five
governmental commissions into the
coal industry since the armistice,
with broken governmental pledges
have had bad effect on mental at

sible now to destroy. The Samuel

short time before the time due for
the agreement in mining industry to

ming of the very last day-too late
