The average provision. McCarl ey-
planned to the Secretary of State, holds
that "the average of the salaries of the
total number of persons under any
grade in any bureau. Office, or other dp-
preparation unit shall not at any time
exceed the average of the compensation
specified for the grade by such act"
Getting Maximum Salary.
The positions of Undersecretary and
Assistant Secretaries of State, McCaIl
explained ARE all in one grade and
under one bureau, Office or other appro-
priation unit I can find no basis OF
law continued McCarl, for eXempting
the positions of Under and Assistant
Secretaries of State from the operation
of the average provision. AS the
Assistant Secretaries are now receiving
compensation at the maximum average
salary of the grade, $4,000 per annum
any increase in the compensation OF the
Undersecretary above the salary OF
$4,000, at which he was required
to be appointed, while the Assistant
Secretaries retain the salary rate OF
$4,000 per annum, would cause the al
ready excessive average to be further
exceeded and would be unlawful.

This situation. Controller McCarl
ruled, us but the necessary result of
existing law
IF the law is thought to be unjust,
or unreasonable or not in the best in
terests of the service that is a matter
for submission to Congress" he said.

Appointed to Fill Vacancy.
The Undersecretary, McCarl ruled,
must continue to receive only $4,000
because under the law he was APP

DECLINES TO REVIEW
BUDLONG VERDICT
Supreme Court Will Not Pass Upon
Divorce Suit From Rhode
Island.

The Supreme Court has declined to
review the case Of Jesse Margaret Will
son Budlong against Milton j. Bud
long, involving the question of whether
Mrs. Budlong was denied her consti-
tutional rights to trial by jury and
of due process of law when the court
in Rhode Island granted her husbands
petition for divorce and awarded to
him the custody of their two children.
The Rhode Island courts had no
jurisdiction over the matrimonial dom
icile. because her husband was not
resident of the State She claimed also
that the courts had no jurisdiction to
award the custody of the children
because the petition for divorce did not
contain a request for such custody and
because neither of the parents resided
in the State.

Arkansas Dragon Reiterates
Opposition That Brought
Nominees Criticism.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, October %
James A. Conner, grand dragon of the
Arkansas realm of the Ku Klux Khan,
who was criticized by Gov Alfred E.
Smith in his Oklahoma City speech a
month ago, today made public letter
he said he had sent to Gov. Smith,
outlining his reasons for opposing his
election to the presidency.
Conner was criticized by the Demo-
cratic presidential candidate for writ
ing letter to delegate to the Houston
convention asking the delegate to OPP
pose Smiths noE:ination because he is
Catholic.
Reiterates Early Stand.
In his letter to Gov. Smith, Conner
admitted writing the letter and re-
iterated his opposition to Smith be-
cause of his religion.
II did not and would not oppose you
wholly upon your religious views,
Conner added, however, were 1t not Tor
the fact that your religious views are
SO inseparably connected and attached
to the Roman Catholic hierarchy which
represents viewpoint that is largely
un-American."
Other reasons for his opposition were
outlined by Conner as follows:
Because your environment III ialsS
measure during all Of your political
career in the State OF New York has
been one that in a great measure tends
to nullify certain public moral laws OF
the State 4.
Sees Platform Ignored.
"You refuse to stand by the platform
made and adopted by the convention
which nominated you. You favor the
humiliation of dry Democrats and their
elimination from the party activities be-
cause they would refuse to vote for YOU
for the reason that their conscience
dictates to the contrary.
Because you represent an organlza-
ton which holds the theory that the
church and state should be joined.
Prior to the convention and since
have opposed you as the candidate Tor
President of the United States because
YOU offer no constructive program OF
such concrete nature as to convince any
right thinking person that you have
the solution for the problems that con-
front America.
II have, do now, and still hereafter
oppose you because of your pronounce
ments on immigration"

GIANT TELESCOPE
TO Be ASSEMBLED
New instrument Expected to
Penetrate Mystery of
Stellar Space.
Ev Az Assocsafed prees.

BY the Associated Press.
PASADENA, Calf. October 29.-The
largest telescope in the world, planned
to surpass by or 10 times the power
Of the great Hooker telescope on Mount
Wilson, is to be erected on a California
mountain top not yet designated.
The California Institute of Technology
has announced that funds have been
made available for its construction and
that work on the 2O0-inch reflector
with which 1t will be equipped will be-
gin within few months.
The telescope and a laboratory are a
gift to the institute from the Interna-
tional Education Board, with headquar-
tiers at New York. The amount of
money involved was not disclosed. but
it would of necessity be larger than
that required to build the Hooker tele-
scope, which cost 100000
To Penetrate Space.
It s expected that the new instru-
inert will penetrate hundreds of mil
liens e light years into space, bringing
uliS observation hundreds of millions
of no. unseen stars and nebulae, open
ing vast UNEMPLOYED field Of astro-
100000 stellar objects are within the
range of the Hooker telescope.
The 200-inch reflector will double the
size and quadruple the power of the
Hooker telescope Another important
feature contemplated for the immense
instrument is a 40-foot Nicholson stel-
lar interferometer. which measures the
diameter of the stars.
BY means of this auxiliary it is hoped
to measure the binary stars, which are
two suns revolving about each other
If this information is obtainable, as
tronomers said science may be in fair
way to solution of the ways in which
worlds are created.
viii Build Reflector.
The General Electric Co. has under
taken to build the great fused quartz
reflector under direction of DR.. Elihu
Thompson, one of the company's found
ers, and A. l.. Ellis, research engineer.
Among the cooperating scientists are
DR.. Robert A. Millikan. Prof A. A.
Nicholson and Ambrose SWasey They
have promised their assistance in en-
cheering, instrumental design and con-

taken pride in 1t since. In his speech
of acceptance Herbert Hoover said:
I'm the past years there has been
corruption participated in by individual
officials and members of both political
parties in national, state and NUM-
cipal affairs. Too often this corruption
has been viewed with indifference by
great number of our people. 1t
would seem unnecessary to state the
elemental requirement that govern
ment must inspire confidence not only
in its ability, but in its integrity. Dis
honesty in government, whether ma
tional, state, or municipal Is double
wrong. It is treason to the state. 1t
is destructive of self-goverhment.
Government in the United States rests
not only upon the consent of the gov
erned but upon the conscience of the
nation. Government weakens the
moment that its integrity is even
doubted. Moral incompetency by those
entrusted with government is blight
ing wind upon private integrity. There
must be no place for cynicism in the
creed Of America"
Herbert Hoover stands for honesty
in politics, honesty in business admin
istration, and honesty in public life.
We doubt if the American people will
take seriously the effort to load onto
him the so-called oil scandals.

THE LAW BREAKER.

Maudlin sentiment that makes
martyrs of criminals and turns them
loose to prey upon society results n
encouraging crime. More than that,
it would almost seem as if crime were
a safe profession if only the criminal
is sufficiently dramatic and vicious tc
enlist the sympathies of mis't.d re-
formers.
A California criminal presents a
case in point. He was first sent to the
penitentiary as desperate evil-doer
He proved this by participating in a
prison break in 1914, in which he was
wounded and four were killed.
The guards in prison found him an
unusually vicious character to handle.
Yet he was turned loose, to be given
another chance"
What might have been expected
happened. He used his chance" to go
on murder fest that resulted in the
murder Of four and the wounding Of
a fifth.
On being apprehended he said that
he was merely "squaring" matters for
what had been done to him. And it
is an actual fact that some reformers
are now claiming that he is insane

with soap and water, or bleached in
the sun. The growth of mildew is at
first on the surface of materials that
have been allowed to become damp,
but in a short time these molds pene-
trate the fiber and injure it, and are
almost impossible to eradicate. Soak
ing the stains in sour milk overnight
and placing in the sun without rim
sing, will sometimes help. Slight stains
are sometimes removed by moistening
them with lemon juice and salt and
placing in the sun. Javelle water,
used as bleach, will take out mildew
stains on white cotton or linen but
should never be used on silk or wool
Other chemicals are also used at times
Mildew on shoes should be wiped off
as soon as detected, and the shoes
washed with soap and warm water,
and well dried. Stuff the shoes with
soft crumpled paper or dry oats, and
dry in warm, but not hot, place.

HOOVER DEVELOPS CONFIDENCE.

Herbert Hoover's capacity to win
the confidence Of people is astonish-
ing. And no man could enjoy so
much confidence of SO many for 50
long without deserving it.
Germany trusted him to handle q
billion dollars worth of food for the
defeated Belgians.
Suspicious Russia let him in with
an army of relief workers to feed
famine victims.
The whole country turns over mil
lions of donations to him for Miss
issippi flood relief.
Fiercely competing business men
take their common problems to him
as Secretary of Commerce and then
following his advice and suggestion
begin reforms without a word of
compulsory legislation. Great bust
nesses rearrange their production to
cutdown seasonal unemployment; the
twelve hour day and the seven day
week vanish from the steel industry.
Under Hoover's self-effacing lead
ership, men important and unimport-
ant somehow get the courage to try
what is right and better and more
worthy Of American ideals.
These are all matters of record.
The old Quaker fundamental of
faith that mans word must be as
good as his bond, is not only carried
out fully by this man but, more re-
markable, every one quickly believes
his word is as good as his bond.
Hence, what he says on farm re-
lief means something. More than that,
we know that all the forces in Amer
lea will be regimented by this leader
in behalf of farmers when he becomes
President. The world in the past has
trusted Hoover and he has made good
on every promise and every trust.
Hoover in his speech of acceptance
said, 1.-The relief of agriculture is a
problem for first consideration" He
will make good on that promise just
the same as he has always made good
on his promises.
