Mr.. Jolly Death

A man with one of the strangest
names died recently. he was Mr..
Jolly Death, of Fulham. England. Mr..
Death was ,gued all his life BY the
popularity of his Christian name In
relation to his surname. Practical
jokers used to telephone to him at all
hours of the night to make facetious
comments. This became such a
nuisance that all telephone calls to his
house were watched and one Of the
offenders was traced.

was that 1t didn't work. Nils just

Cherry was so furious that she raced

washington. March %. - Increased
Russian American trade and appar-
ent economic strengthening Of tho
Soviet Union are expected to hasten
the day when semiofficial regotia-
lions are begun looking toward diplo-
matte recognition.
No one Is worrying about the ques-
ton now. unless IL be Senator Borah.
And there is no indication, official or
otherwise. that either government Is
contemplating overtures III the near
future. Nevertheless, It Is quite like
~ that there will be negotiations
during Hoover's administration. the
success Of which will depend upon
Russia's willingness to accept our
terms.
President Hoover is not OH record
as opposed to recognition. With al,
eye to foreign markets. he is expected
to apply an open mind to the problem
whenever it seems advisable to con-
slider it. II 1t should develop. OF
course. that there was still strong
popular prejudice against Russian
recognition. he would hardly be likely
to push the negotiations.
X i \
Russia's sta lding among nations,
meanwhile. is being enhanced with
her internal development and her in
creasing foreign trade. It Is not any
longer suggested that her government
or her economic structure is going to
collapse. Coming months are expect
cd by some observers to produce a
new commercial rapproachment be-
tween Russia and England. which will
be watched by Hoover and other of
our government officials with consid-
cradle interest. British exports to
Russia have decreased IS per cent In
the last two years. during which the
British government renewed its old
attitude Of hostility toward Russia.
Russia's economic position is set
forth In q recent issue Of Commerce
