25 Fears Ago Today
 FROM HERALD FILES

Not in recent years have the pOli- ticians wasted so much ink as in the past 4S hours. just before the city election today The republicans sent men around yesterday 10 deliver stamped envelopes at all houses. The messages inside asked why the recipients were going 10 vote the democratic ticket. Most of them weren't, but most of them decided to do so after reading the pam phlets. The democrats were an gered that the postmaster should place his men at the call of the re- publican party and deliver on a Sunday afternoon. and they de- nounced the Curtis methods" It is believed Curtis will support the post masters attempt to secure a reap pointmcnt. The democrats prepared counter circulars dealing with "un- scrupulous politicians who circulate lies on the Sabbath when there is no opportunity to refute them" Dur ing the forenoon the republicans came back with posters in scream ing red ink. It is not known what effect these methods had on tho electorate.
 At o'clock today the vote was 3,oA3. compared with 3,315 a year ago,

(U. S) government sees 1t, con-
 slsts in the course of France in
 arranging reciprocal trade
 agreements with Germany and
 other nations which deprive the
 United States of the most fay
 ored nation treatment. to which
 it insists il is entitled"
 In other words, France is denied the right by the United states to make trade treaties with other na tions, Oh boy Tell that to Poincare'
 That the administration is up in the air" on the subject can be seen from report that high state de- partment officials" declare the United States is willing to negotiate with France for an adjustment of the tariff controversy, but could not uegouates on special rates" Mean while came definite action by the treasury department.
 France made the trade treaty with Germany because Germany agreed to low tariff rate against French goods, France making low rates for German goods.
 France no doubt will be willing to  make a similar sort of treaty with the United States. But that would mean lowering the American tariff rate. And that's all of that.
 Instead of lowering the rate, in q spirit of hellicosity, We raise it; at the same time We lower it on Ger man eoods-this just to convince France that we know how to fight.
 It would have been more con- sonant with some of that common sense supposed 10 have it's head quarters in Washington to have waited while before taking such summary action.

YALE'S METAMORPHOSlS

Comes forward the Yale Daily News with a composition entitled the Yale Blues'-not Vale Bowl" Mir. Typesetter, but the blues" The title of this piece wasn't just that way but it meant about the same that is to say, it was a discordant lament about the rapid changing of the scenery around haunts of the so-called learned.
 Yale no longer is an intimate college community" we are told. Where there formerly were empty spaces, trees-trysting places and lovers lanes, perhaps-there now are huge buildings, imposing colon- nades and graceful arches" Many an alumnus is more bewildered than cdified, perhaps; but there she stands, the new Yale in all her glory, all decl,ed out like flapper going to q betting party
 Here is a slight summary of the changes wrought by Old Man Time and somebody's money:
 Last year it was Dwight hall, the new theater, D. K. E., the | .,,,1 This year it is Hardness hall, Bingham, the art museum, ZotG Beta. Walter Camp memorial, baseball cage and baseball
 stands. not 10 mention Library
 lane and Grove boulevard. Where will it all end Each year October finds us hardly rccog- uiZablc as the same institution that stood on this spot the pre-
 Ceding fall Five years from now may see a second Cambridge and river Cam where Bing- ham hall is now rising.
 The physical expansion Of Yale it is said, has been out of propor 1 ton 10 the increase in numbers But perhaps that is due to the fac that the equipment in the past Ina never been sufficient for the de
 nands.
 Yale is growing big in cquipmen and is losing, if it has not alread lost, that intimate assocation an' | democracy which older generation | treasured. It is now no longer pos 1 siblc for an alumnus to know al 1 his classmates by their first names l Some of them are inclined to env | the smaller colleges which insist o, remaining small, and incidental, retaining all the intimate attribute which Yale once had. pr. Mcndel uttered a fervent hope when he sai 1 the creation of a new undergrad uate college, which would be lill original Yale, is desirable.
 ! Humorous as it may appear, som of the old-time alumni do not thin the modern Yale is any more i'm portant than the old Yale But C
 course, one cannot always acceI what the old fellows say as positive
 Iy and absolutely accurate.
 When they observe the handsom
 now buildings their breasts ma
 swell with admiration, but 1t do"Sn
 crowd ont the emotions.

 Conditions last night weren't as bad as they would have been if there hadn't been plenty of volume. And now, while you're busy around the home freside trying to figure out that cryptic statement, let us say that there was considerable static and that programs would have been buried in the debris if the stations hadn't, in most cases, possessed enough volume to ride over the noise. Had the night been more quiet, the possibilities are that we

experiences was delivered with all the dignity of a college professor at the laying of a corner stone for the new chem. lab. His voice, pleasing, appeared to be well adapted for broadcaSting and he appeared to be the cultured gentleman at all times. He spoke in pleasing manner and appeared to be at home before the microphone. The Duncan Sisters, in their own well known style, pre- sented several popular songs, among them At Dawning," Buggy Ride" and The More We Are Together and "Auld Lang Syne," accompanied by the ensemble. Phil Carlin acted as master of ceremonies. One of the prime features of the program was the impersonation of a lion tanner by the comedian of the group. The new program has great possibilities and it should be one of the interest ing features of the coming year If it continues to present stars and the numbers similar to those offered on the debut program last evening. WTIC handled the affair well. But the only thing about it is that If many more of those big features come along and WTIC continues to pile them on, the station won't have any room for its own stuff. Of course, that's none of our business; we just mentioned it in passing. WTIC is giving lot of time to chain broadcasting at the present time. In fact you'd be surprised If we listed the number of features. However, they're all worth while and unusual. with the possible exception of Moon Magic which, while good, is not especially different"
 We also ran into WOAI, San An tonic, which came through with plenty of volume. A special program of dance music was being broadcast on a wavelength of about 500 me ters. It was one of the stations that was not accompanied by interfer-
