Has The Summer Been An Unevent-
full One? Asks A Baltimore City
Writer, and Suggests That All Pre-
pare For Winter Activity.
To the Editor of The Republican.

a mid-Victorian actuality, but the
spirit behind such a declaration still
persists; that is, in urban life, of
course. With the farmer it is an
other story. But it is the urban life
which at present gives the most per
sistent picture of the age. The idea
with the major part of the people of
the country at large is that in the
summer months there comes a hiatus,
a long, long swing of the pendulum
from activity through a slow nothing
doing, back again to activity. But
one wonders.
Is that true, even in social life?
Social life has learned to move on
from city to shore, to mountain, to
camp-no break in between. Then,
too, social life has no longer the en-
phasis it once had. The dial swings
to political life and soon will swing
to economic. Social life no longer pre-
dominates. But has political life been
idle this summer of 1929? And can
a season be termed idle which has
these achievements to its credit

Canal May Link Balkan Paris"
 With Black Sea

Washington, D. C., Aug. 20-'Lit- tie Paris of the Balkans" may be- come a seaport, according to reports from Bucharest. A bill has been introduced in the Rumanian parlia- ment providing for the construction of canal connecting Bucharest with the Danube river, about 60 miles south.
 "'Little Paris is not misnomer for Bucharest. says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic Society for it has many 'earmarks' of the French capital.
 Gaiety Reigns in Bucharest
 "One of its wide tree-lined thor oughfares is called the Little Champs Elysee' and there is an Arc de Triomphe. both of which suggest the atmosphere of Paris. The bridle paths flanking the thoroughfare constantly resound with the thud of hoofs of blooded horses mounted by smart looking beau and belle; and the seemingly endless mass of pedestrians strolls in a gay mood with no apparent destination.
 Here and on other fine thorough fares lined with palatial residences and fine church and government buildings a sad countenance is out of place. However, this portion of the city has no corner on smiles for the doorways of the humblest ways of the poorer section of the city are filled with smiling, chatter ing parents while their 'ragmuffins boisterously run here and there while playing native games The meat vender with whole slaughtered animals swinging on the end of a long pole. vendors of sweet meats, and even some of the multitude Of beggars are a cheerful lot.

 Bureau New Enlarged
 Since that time tho bureaus abors have been increased by the adjusted compensa ton act. the emergency officers retirement act. and a vast increase in disqualification problems with the constantly growing number of disabled war veterans, a condition that will not reach its peak until 1947.
 Under General Hines, 54 regional veterans bgureau offices have been established. with full power to ad- minister all phases of immediate veterans relief. Compensation schedules have been revised with ne cessary increases and veteran bureau care has also been extended to al, veterans of all wars.
 Evidence of the confidence held in General Hines by the veteran world at large and the nation in general was noted in his reappoint- ment by President Coolidge and his recent subsequent reappointment by President Hoover.

 How we'll General Hines has sue ceeded in the difficult task of satis- flying the requests of thousands of veteran is indicated by his re- peated endorsement at national con- ventions of the Veterans of For eign Wars.
 In an address before the veter- ans in St. Paul Aug. 25-31. he will discuss problems confronting the bureau today in it's administration of relief and the recommendations offered by the director towards i'm proving conditions among veterans in need of government assistance.
 Back in 1898, Hines was given his first officers stripes-thosc of a sergeant-i the Utah field artil- lery. He entered the regular army as a second lieutenant, coast artil lery, in 1901 and the outbreak of the World War found him a cap tain.

 In 1917 he was made a colonel and as chief of the embarkation service he directed the development of the organization that carried more than 2,o00,000 men safely to Europe in IS months and then brought them home in eight months. In April, 1918. he was made a briga- dier general in the national army.

Now and then q gypsy in a costume including all the colors of the rainbow recalls that Rumania is the home of the wandering tribes of Romany. Many of the Bucharest gypsy live in small huts just outside of the town. When a gypsy man works, which is as sel- dom as possible, he is usually em- ployed as a mason on building con- struction jobs.

Firm Sells New Kind of
Refrigerator.

Highly efficient refrigerators,
made to the specifications of the
Polar Ice and Fuel Company, are
proving popular with Indianapolis
housewives
About three years ago company
officials began a study Of refrigera-
tors. Many makes were analysed
and found to have practically no in
stilation, although handsome ap-
pearing on the outside.
The company proceeded to con-
tract with several refrigerator man
ufacturers to build refrigerators ac-
cording to specifications drawn by
company engineers, with stress laid
on proper insulation, the most i'm
portant part of a refrigerator.
Since that time these refrigerators
have been on display at the COM
pany's north side plant showroom,
1000 Northwestern avenue.
Policy Of the company is to sell
the refrigerators at cost plus a small
charge to cover delivery. Thus Gus
toners of the company are enabled
to obtain refrigerators with the
highest possible efficiency at a cost
less than most inferior refrigerators.
Polar-builtt refrigerators now are
available on the deferred payment
Plan. All Polar's refrigerators and
ice boxes have been approved by
the National Association of Ice In
