ON SOVIET ISSUE

of Soviet Relations,
324 to 1893.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November g. Britain:
Labor premier, ]. Ramsay Macdonald
has been upheld by the Commons ir
the first major question of foreign pol
icy to reach vote.
A poll of 324 to 1879 last night IA
vored resumption of diplomatic relations
with Soviet Russia on terms agreed
upon by Arthur Henderson, minister
Sor foreign affairs. and Valerian Dow
galevsky, Soviet Ambassador at Paris.
The Liberals supported the govern
ment solidly, while three Conservatives,
Including Lady Astor, American-born
peeress, deserted their leader, Stanley
Baldwin, to back Mr.. Macdonald.
Amendment Is Rejected.
The vote followed debate, in which
Mr.. Baldwin offered an amendment de-
ploring the failure" of the new Labor
government to maintain the conditions
which the preceding prime minister
(himsel) and foreign minister had lalc
down for resumption of relations;
The amendment was rejected by tne
same vote, 324 to 1919, before the vote
was taken on the motion of Arthur
Henderson for reinstatement OF the
Soviet Union in Britain'S good graceS
Diplomatic ties with the Soviet were
severed in 1927, after a raid on the
London headquarters Of ARGOS, Ltd.
Soviet trade organization, which was
said to have proved charges of espl-
onage and propaganda by Russian
Communist agents in Great Britain.
Exchange of ENJOYS Next.
Exchange of Ambassadors will be the
next step in fulfillment OF last nights
vote and is expected to follow. immedi-
ately. Negotiations will then be begun
for settlement of outstanding questions

Z. S. POLICY NOT AFFECTED.
State Department Views Decision Of
Commons as Internal Issue.

Secretary Stimson said today he die
not believe the decision OF the House OF
Commons favorable to resumption OF re-
lations with Russia would have any Ell
feet on the non-recognition policy OF
the United States.
The Secretary added that such de-
cisions abroad had not had any erect
on American policy in the past.
Ofacials here generally interpreted
the Commons decision as more OF an
internal political question in England
at the present time than an interna-
tional one. They believed it merely in
dictated a desire on the part of the Lib
erals not to see the Labor government
defeated on the Russian issue at the
present time. 1t was added that the
general expectation Of an increase In
Anglo-Soviet business as result OF a
resumption of relations might have
been an encouraging feature to the Lib
erals in supporting the Laborites.

Stern Rule of Silence

In Frances modern prison at FIRES.
nesles-Rungis, 1880 white-masked
prisoners live in absolute silence. They
neither see each others faces nor hear
their voices. From the moment a
metal number is hung around his
neck, the prisoner Is required to wear
white hood whenever he leaves his
cell, AMI he may not speak to his
fellows. He sees the face Of his
guard from time to time, but no 9TH

or to the warden for discipline. Alone
in his cell, he works eight hours a
day, but good will and skill enable
him to reduce the time to six hours
and the money he earns enables him
to buy small comforts. The govern
ment receives thirty-two cents a day
from the contractors for each pris-
Oner's work and gives from three
tenths to half the money to the pris-
oner. The prisoner never sees the
money until he leaves, but half of it
is placed to his immediate credit for
his little expenses. Yet in spite of all
that, many criminals ask to be sent
there because the solitude entities

Of the house, as he wished to show
me something very remarkable. Find

asked me to count the islands could
see round the coast of Teneriffe, and
/ found that, with Grande Canary,
they numbered seven.
He then requested me to look
through the telescope and name what
could see on the islet beyond Palma.
And after had specified small palm
tree, some low growing trees and a
small whi.e hut, he showed me the
latest map of these islands-which
did not include the island we had
remarked; there were six only with
Teneriffe.

Spain in 1879, but several years later

Much Trouble Avoided
by Straight Thinking

Most nervous disorders come from
conflict. What does that mean?
There are in thousands of men and
women ceaseless struggles between
the thing they do and the thing they
know they ought to do. 1t is the
struggle of one part of the nature of
man against the other. We try to
avoid conflict in our thoughts by fool
ing ourselves into the idea that what
we are doing is all right. We desire
to continue some practice or other
which is ruinous, and we seek to ex-
cuse it. Excuses don't work. Con-
fict arises-the conflict of the mind
and emotion. Once learn to think
straight and to have the mental en-
ergy and courage to try to pursue
an intelligent course, and we can re-
lieve our lives of conflict. Better
make a mistake and admit it is
mistake and try not to do the same
thing again, than engage in the con-
slant mental conflict which comes
from trying to excuse mistakes and
make them. seem right. Let's learn
to think traight.-Grove Patterson, in
the Mobile Register.

High Praise Accorded
Norwegians and Norway

Norwegians, writes an English trav-
eler in that country, have grace with
out stiffness. Even the gyrations Of
jazz are executed with stateliness in
Oslo. The people love beauty. They
take a just pride in possessing one of
the most charming capitals in the
world. Whether draped in snow and
ice or smiling under the midnight sun
of summer, it is peer among cities,
with its stately public buildings set
amid winding waterways and innumer-
able little wooded islands on the out
skirts. 1t might be described as a
Pleasure city, but for the air of solid
industry which characterizes it's we'll
dressed people. They work, but they
appear to extract the maximum
amount of enjoyment from the simple
amusements of life. Even the tele-
phone operators are models of good
behavior, goes on the English trav-
eler. And no people are more hos
pitable and kindly in their treatment
of foreigners, he adds. This latter is
the true mark of culture.-Pierre Van
Paassen, in the Atlanta Constitution.

Trace Pipe Organ Back
To Earliest Civilization

The story Of the pipe organize
noblest of musical Instruments
abounds in romance, for its beginning
lies in remote antiquity and its de-
velopment follows the progress rof
civilization for more than 1000 years.
Limited space permits only briefest
mention of few cardinal points In
it's history.
Of first Importance, the parent 1n-
strument was set of pipes fastened
together in row and made to sound
by the direct force of the breath.
Later some 200 years before Christ,
there came the water organ, which, In
turn, gave place to the bellows type
of instrument that was first used in
the church about 430 A. D. 1t is the
bellows type, highly perfected, that
is in common use today.
In this country, our strait-laced
Puritan ancestors opposed music as
an invention of the Evil One himself,
so its acceptance came slowly, and up
to the middle of the Seventeenth CEN
fury, only that of the crudest kind
was heard.
The real history Of the pipe organ
in America began about 1913, with the
importation from England Of what
has come to be known as the Brattle
organ. 1t came to Boston, Mass, as
the property of Thomas Brattle, a
priminent man of the time, and was
set up in Kings chapel.
Other organs were imported in the
years that followed, until John GLENN
produced the first American-built in
strument in 1877.

Successful Hotel Man
Must "Know the Ropes"

Every big metropolitan hotel faces
bankruptcy its first year. People are
skittish about going to new one. no
matter how fine it is, until some one
breaks the ice. Fortunate is the hos
telry which can attract few notables
under it's roof soon after it opens for
business. That is why free board and
lodging frequently are offered certain
celebrities who may be bought off that
way. Once it is nOised around that
people of importance are putting up
at hotel the herd follows. Then, of
course. continued prosperity depends
upon service standards maintained.
The management always tries to Gre
ate prosperous air around a new
hotel. One trick Is to turn on the
lights at dusk in every outside room.
Employees circulate around raising
and lowering shades to give an air
Of hustle and life. Page boys are in
structed to shout important names in
the lobby and dining rooms even if
the owners of those names are in Eu-
rope. All these tricks help.

"She-Deevil'' Reversed
Precept of Good Book

From being a gentle, lovable maid
en- before marriage, Sandy McGrud-
er's spouse had developed into one
of the most shrewish women, not
only in the village but in the county.
Her ''tantrums" were a continual
source of despair to her poor hus-
band, upon whom, not content with
using her vitriolic tongue, she fire.
quently vented physical punishment.
To his credit, be it said, Sandy never
lifted his hand in return.
Meeting the minister one day after
peculiarly trying time with his
spouse, Sandy complained that life
was not worth living "wr yon randy
o. wife o. mine, curse her!"
The good man was shocked to hear
one of his parishioners speaking thus
of his wife and, knowing a bit about
Sandy's plight, he counseled him to
'thole his troubles like a Christian"
And remember what the Good Book
says" he added. Resist the devil
and he will fly from you'll"
'"rhat's a'verra true, meenister,"
said Sandy with sigh. "But if re-

Dread of Evil Spirits
Inherent in Papuans

Papuans are pagan, and largely gov
erned by superstitious beliefs handed
down from generation to generation.
The Papuan cautiously approaches the
rocks on the shores OF the ocean and
inland streams lest spirit that abides
there stir up storm. A spirit
in the clouds destroys their children,
but the strongest spirit turks in the
forests. For this reason tribesmen
seldom venture out at night. Papuan
villages are built more for protection
than comfort. Near the sea coast and
rivers many of them are built over
the water, while in the interior they
occupy the hills where the tribesmen
can survey the neighborhood for en-
envy invaders. If a village is in q
valley, it is usually protected by a
high stockade or the huts are in the
tree tops. Tree platforms are the
tribal watch-towers.

Alaskan Natives Erect
Buildings Over Graves

The natives of Alaska are much
given to superstitious beliefs. witch
craft and ghosts, and as a rule they
are dreadfully afraid of the ghosts
of the departed, so that the section
of land given over to the DISPOSE
ton Of the dead is he'd in great rev.
erence. The dead one, with all his
personal effects, such as skins,
blanket and trinkets accumulated dur
ing life, is laid away and is gener-
ally safe from molestation, although
occasionally some member Of the
tribe may become SO depraved as to-
remove some Of the goods If he cam
do so without detection. Frequently
a small house is erected over this
accumulation, so that in the course
of time the burial ground comes to
take on the appearance Of a minia-
ture village. In some parts this has
taken the form of an annual cere-
mony and on a certain day Of the
autumn many persons may be seen
erecting these houses over the rest
ing place of their departed relatives.

Disappearing Gulf

However slow and imperceptible the
process may be, it is a well-estab-
lished fact that the contour of the
earth is changing constantly. Sea
captains frequently note the presence
of islands in midocean where no is
lands were ever seen before and just
as often note is made of the total
disappearance of points of land in
the sea. The peninsula Of Lower Cal
ifoEnIa. in the western part Is Mex-
leo. is. lost persons know, long
tongue OF land following the coast
line and forming the elongated Gulf
of California. Recent observations
show that the land of Lower Cali
fOrnia is raising and accordingly in.
creasing in width and at the same
time the gulf is narrowing so that in
the course of time the land of the
peninsula may be joined to the main
land of Mexico and water now sep
hrating them will disappear entirely.
