YOUTHS CONFESS
TO MANY MURDERS
Seek Revenge for Loss of
Relatives in Russia.

MISUNDERSTANDING murdered a few
whites" In their village from mo
tves of political revenge. four young
Communists in the Chita district of
Siberia, now under arrest, acquired n
taste for the game and blossomed into
ordinary bandits. according to their
confession to the police.
The boys were arrested last August
but the details of their strange career
of crime. over d period of four years
have just been made public. The
Chita region was devastated by years
of civil warfare after the 1877 revo.
luton. especially through the aetivi-
ties of Ataman Semionotf, and this is
one of innumerable tragedies that can
be traced back to that chaotic period.
The four boys-Brltzin, Fion0ff,
Perilomoff and pritupoff-had been
mere children when the waves of civil
strife rolled over their native village
of Aksha. All of them had lost rea.
tives al the hands of the White in.

In 1924 they Joined the Communist
youth organization in a group and be-
came among the most fervid propa-
gandists against the rich peasants and
White sympathizers. But words did
not satisfy them. Finding that the
Communists were opposed to acts of
individual terror, they decided to take
the law into their own hands.

Eruption of Volcanoes
Ascribed to the Tides

Not all active volcanoes erupt, as
did Mount Etna recently, like boiled
over pot. Many explode, shooting dust
and ashes miles into the air. The non
explosive character of Etna is ascribed
by volcanologists to the fact that its
lava is relatively thin liquid which
allows steam and gas bubbles to
escape readily. In explosive vol
canoes the lava is thick. It holds
back steam and gas stubbornly, caus-
ing immense pressure beneath and
eventually a violent eruption.
Because practically every active vol
cano in the world is located not far
from large bodies of water, the theory
is advanced by DR.. William Bowie of
the United States coast and geodetie
survey and others that the kneading
action of the periodic tides twists the
earth, forcing up the lava and causing
volcanic activity.

But Peggy couldn't help noticing
that the boys on the stage line were
apt to look right over her head to

her life.
The trouble was. you see, Peggy had

The danger of too much popularity
with girls is that we come too often

Lolly Pops

If YOU'LL be my Jolly, | will be
your pop" Maybe you're ia
miliar with the kind of man who says
that, or if he doesn't say it, he shows
1t in his paternal attitude. Paternal?
Yes, and then some, for the bald-hea
ed man who pays attention to the
1apper is just as often fraternal and
philanderal. He'll stand watching.
When girls place was In the
home, and when the home was, there
wasn't much of chance for the bald
bachelor and near-widOwer to get next
to the damsel of the domicile, but now
that girls are out on the job and in on
the shows, the old geezer with meal
ticket and a charge account at the
florists is able to get In some fine
work. He'll play pop to the lolly-girl
every time.
Of course, it's all right when a
young girl has genuine male friend
who is of her fathers age, and real
ly nice man can be of value to
youngster just as she can be enter
tanning to him. But how few there
are who are satisfied to be ''nice!"
'Forty love" may be all right In
lawn tennis, but 1t doesn't work the
same score in life. It's usually
deuce" If a man has lodged the ar
rows of Cupid until he has reached
this age of indiscretion, or worse still,
If he has been through so many love
battles that he has been fully deco
rated he's not proper companion for
the bud to whom life is all novelty
and expectations.
Now that men shave daily and use
cosmetics, they think they can pull
the Ponce de Leon stuff and pass
themselves off as boy scouts. Fifty
per cent pants for one hundred per
cent Americans make the man In
knickers think he can play the part
of sweet patootie to the girl just out
of school.
The dear slayer of these times is
found in all our forests. He could be
helpful but is usually nuisance. Now
that girls don't think of marrying until
they have worked awhile, and so put
off The Day for few years, 1t seems
all right for them to have one of these
senle man friends. We girls are some
what TO blame for the confusion of
the seasons whereby, November tries
to sit down in the calendar beside
May. We may think 1t smart to have
man of experience get crush on
one of US so that we can get a gray
scalp to hang on our belt
That's no reason, though, why we
should run the risk Of losing an elig

There is still another story of the
origin of the Bowie knife-and another
inventor of it! This story names as
the father of the weapon Tennessean
named John Sowell. who fought with
Jackson in the War of 1872, then
moved to Missouri and finally settled
in Gonzales, Texas. in 1929. Being a
blacksmith, he began plying his trade
there. Then. the story as told by
Sowell descendants in Texas, con
tinues:
James Bowie often passed through
Gonzales on his way East after trip
prospecting in the mountains to the
West. and he generally had 15 to 80
men with him-all Indian fighters-and
they had many encounters with the
Comanches and other tribes. In one of
these fights Bowie thrust at an Indian
with his butcher knife and his hand
slipped over the blade, cutting him very
badly This cut suggested the idea of
a guard between the handle and blade
and he cut a pattern from piece of
wood and in passing through Gonzales
stopped at Sowell's shop and asked him
If he couli make one like it. Sowell
replied that he could and, selecting
piece of steel, turned out knife that
pleased Bowie very much. Mr.. Sowell
asked Bowie If he (Sowell) might give
the knife a name. Bowie replied in the
affirmative and MIR. Sowell said, Il will
name it in honor of you, we will call
IL the Bowie Knife"
"Who invented the Bowie knife?"
Let him who can, read that conflicting
testimony and then give a reply which
he can be sure is correct

In the Stock Market
NV thomson a. McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.AThere Is
perhaps a marked difference be-
tween conditions prevailing at this
time and those that existed when
the May and March breaks occurred
in the stock market. Instead of
rapid business expansion as we had
in the spring, we have an altogether
different outlook for the balance of
the year. Curtailment in several
key industries is becoming more
noticeable and employment as a
consequence is decreasing. To add
to the general uncertainty, reports
emanating from abroad indicate
that even the higher British bank
rate has not accomplished the de-
sired result, that is, the precaution
of further loss of gold and the sug-
gestion has already been made that
an additional advance in the Eng
liSh rate may become necessary.
Although it is quite true that I'M
favorable factors predominant and
probably preclude the possibility of
an early resumption of the upward
trend, yet it must be admitted that
price readjustments have been
drastic, and to continue ultra-pessi-
mistic after so great a general de-
cline would probably prove unwise.
We believe long comm m n t S
should be reduced. but We would
rather await a somewhat more ia
vorable opportunity.
