The thing that gives me the
greatest kick Is that these people
seem to be expecting something un-
usual and different, and they al
ways look q little disappointed be-
cause the fellows who geti off the
train aren't any different from
other people. The other day in
Houston. Tex, I got great laugh.
We got in there, about . O'Clock
In the morning and there were
quite d few fans down at the sta,

too. asking me what ball players do
off the ball field; how they behave;
what they eat; how they amuse

The answer to that Is easy.
They do the same things that
other people do. dress the same
way eat the same food, and
have just as many troubles and

 The manifestation was planned by the mixed congressional commission which met "Wednesday to consider the political situation following the execution of Jose De Leon Toral last week.
 The department of interior has closed the Catholic school "Peannc Chrzard' here and cvicted 10 nuns charged with leading d community life in the school. Convents are pro hibitcd under the Mexican constitu- tion.

 They were warned they would be punished if they violated the re- ligious laws again.

Comes Off Auto,
 Starts to See World

An automobile wheel with a de- sirr to see the world on its own ini- tiative set out upon an adventurous course on West Main street during the five o'clock rush yesterday aft ernoon and enjoyed an independent run of 50 yards through heavy traf- fic before it met its master in a tree.
 As light delivery truck owned by Cedric B. Olds of 33 Suffield street, Hartford. passed tn" Curtis street intersection. the right front wheel left the axle l began to thread its way down and across the street amid the numerous automo- plies as scared drivers, wondering what the strange thing might be. swcrved into the gutters to let it pass. Several had narrow escapes as the wheel crossed West Main street and climbed the opposite c at sherman court. A few feet farther it encountered tree and. since this could not dodge. the wheel ended its career with jolt.
 Meanwhile the car which it had deserted was stranded on the trol- ley tracks across Curtis street. where it tied up traffic for some time be- fore it could be repaired and moved out of the way.

TR0TzKY FINDS NO
 TURKISH WELCOME Exiled Soviet Chief Is Looked
 Upon as "White Elephant"

Constantinople. Feb. 15 R- Turkey has adopted strict measures to forestall unpleasantness growing out of the presence of its "whitc elephant" guest, Leon Trotzky. in this city.
 Increase in communist sentiment is regarded as d primary danger in the exile of the former Soviet Wa. chief here. and the government IS not being caught mapping.
 Passport restrictions. always strin- gent, have been frightened to proven: followers Of Trotzky from Russia gathering about him. In the past the government has been so per sis,cnt in stamping out sporadic agi- tation that no organized group of that faith exists anywhere in the country.
 Two arrests yesterday at Adrian ople further made evident the off cial attitude. Both of those arrcst- cd were Turks, one school teacher and the other an electrician.
 Meanwhile another days train left for Angora. capital of the coun- try. without Trotzky aboard The Soviet consulate at which he is sup posed to be residing under the name of Scibronf still was heavily guard cd. although some persons were al lowed entrance there.
 "HantlS Of'' Policy
 Turkry is maintaining hands off policy. Turkish newspaper have bcea warned not to mention the cxile's name. It is understood from usual ly reliable sources that the only promise made by Turkey to the Soviet government is that Turkey will exercise due prccaution to sec that Trotzky does not leave the country. The job of closing his lips and hiding him from public view is delegated 10 Soviet officials.
 Trotzsky is said to be haggar1 and wan from his misadventures in Russian Turkestan but neWs-gather- CTS haunting the vicinity of the consulate have been unab to get even so much as glimpse of him through the windows.

MEMORIAL DUPLICATE
 OF OLD STONEHENGE
NasllinstOn's Tribute to Soldiers Be- ing Copied After Famous Ruins
 Of Pagan Britain.

Mary Hill, Wash, Feb. 15 R- Stonchenge. built 1000 years ago by Britons as a place Of worship, is be- ing duplicated by klicktat county citizens as a memorial to their sol dicr dead.
 The memorial. 10 be dedicated May 30. was given to the county by Sam Hill, millionaire railroad man and phiIanthropist. The central piece in the memorial. as in Stonchenge, is a sacrifcial altar. This, Mir. Hill believes, is symbolic of American soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the altar of patriotism.
 Foundations for the memorial were started on June s. 1918. five months before the World war ended. The memorial. like the original in the south of England. is 1OS feet in diameter. Each stone is moulded in- to duplicate of the corresponding stone in the English landmark. On many of the stones will be placed bronze plates upon which names of the soldier dead will be carved.

INTENSE COLD IN
 EUROPE CONTINUES.
Slight Rise in Some Sections
 But Suffering Is UDabatd

London, Feb. l5.-H1Europe continued today in the grip of an un- precedented cold wave.
 There was . slight increase in temperatures in some quarters. but generally there was no amelioration Of the bitter cold. with snow and ice which have caused numerous deaths and wrought untold suffering.
 Speedy action at the coal mines in Czechoslovakia promised some re- lief to centers where fuel shortages had reached . serious stage but against this one favorable report there were many others of disrupted train service. isolated towns, and human misery.
 One particularly pathetic story came from Poland, where a young peasant bride going from her native village to . church in Piotikow for her wedding was found frozen to death in her sleigh.

Herd Of 100 Enters Utah Town Where Game Officials Take Steps
 to Provide N0urishment.


 Salt Lake City, Feb. IS. R>-Deep snow that has covered the ground for weeks in Utah and Idaho has driven starved elk and other wild game to seek food from the hands of man.
 A herd of 100 elk descended from a forest range and entered the town Of Millville. Utah. where officers of the state game department made preparations to care for the animals.
 At Boise. Idaho. a large bull elk. browsed contentedly on the state capitol grounds. Senator w. P. Swanstrom lassoed the elk five miles from Boise.
 Gaunt and hungry. young bull elk was roped neal Logan. Utah, and taken to the yards of the local sugar company where it was fed.
 To conserve feed which Is being distributed for starving ducks. the Ada county fish and game league de- cided at Boise to attempt to dyna- mite upwards of a million crows in a rookery on Lake Lowell.

When Herbert Hoover took the oath of office
yesterday his voice was heard throughout the
world.
His inaugural address reached not only mil
lions of listeners in the United States but also
other millions of listeners in foreign countries
The radio has advanced to an almost unbe-
ievable extent. Recently programs from London
were heard in New York with absolute clarity.
Now this progress makes it possible for not only
America, but also other nations Of the world, to
hear the voice of Hoover as he dedicates himself
to the leadership Of the American people.
How fitting that this should be sol For his &C
tivites during the distressful times of war in for
egn lands have endeared him to the entire civil
lied world his election was hailed with en-
thusiasm in messages from many countrles-the
world has it's eye on Hoover, and now the world
was able to hear his first words as he assumed
the highest office of his country.
The very thought thrills one-the world has
moved forward indeed Think of George Wash
ington's Inauguration address-his words were
not known for days after the event by persons
within a narrow radius, they were not heard save
by those who were within the range of his voice.
Today man in the remotest corner of the land
may be present" at an important ceremony
simply by turning on dial.

GREEN PASTURES

The grass IS always greener across the fence
in the other pasture. So say the cynic, the fail
.ure, the knocker and the ne eer-do-Well In say
ing this they are satisfying themselves of what
they want to be, and excusing themselves for
what they are.
All things considered, ones home town is the
best place Nogales meets the requirements for
those who WANT it the best place and who will
cooperate to the end that their wants will be-
come realities Those who reVe in the great
tional sport Of being dissatisfied with their home
town are all wrong unless they help to make it
better. The Prodigal Son thought another pas
ture was greener but had to live among the
swine.
Remember this: the other fellow in the other
town is voicng certain dissatisfaction. The
fault is not with the town but with the point of
view. Saying that conditions are poor and that
business is bad helps to make them truths, be-
cause destructive criticism is catching and de-
moralizing to any phase Of activity.
Nogales is lifeless without it's citizens in ac-
tion Citizens can make the pasture here as
green as any other, turning any false notions of
adversely into realities of success. This can be
done in a small way if we will, large way if we
can.
It is no particular credit to man how many
towns he has lived in, how many business he has
"r1n," how many jobs he has held. The men
and women who make history are the PERM
ANENT settiers-the masters of single busl-
ness and the workers on a certain job. But if
one must be floater, let him stay out Of the way
Of the folks who believe in their home town.
