BATON ROUGE. La, November L
Almost ever since he has been Cover
nor. Huey p. Long. now Senator-elect,
has told his following in Louisiana that
he would never leave the State during
his term and permit Lieut.. Gov.
Paul N. Cyr, his bitter political adver-
sary. thus to become chief executive
even for a minute.
But now the Governor wants TO go
to a Mississippi Valley flood control
me- ting in st. Louis during ThankSglv-
ing week. IT
The Lieutenant Governor solved his
problem Yesterday afternoon as they
ing program that will soon go forward
in the area which the statue now oc-
cupies
viii Meet With ScuIptOrs.
The commission set this afternoon
aside for a conference with representa-
tiyes from the Mural Painters Society
and the National Sculpture Society rel
alive to a program for a pretentious
exhibition of fine arts in the National
Capital in 1882 as feature OF the
George Washington bicentennial ceie-
bration. It is proposed that this exhibit
scaping features. The commission also
arranged to visit number of the major
projects now taking shape here in order
to keep abreast of current develop
mentS.
John L. Mauran Of st. Louis, newly
appointed member of the commission.
was present at session for the first
time today.
This evening the commission will
view proposed lighting effects on the
Arlington Memorial Bridge, together
with a tentative arrangement for sculp-
tural figures along the top Of the bridge.
The Arlington Memorial Bridge Com
mission has fashioned higher lamp
posts than were exhibited at the last
meeting, adding some 3 feet to their
height. The commission will inspect
the bridge after darkness falls, SO chat
the proposed illumination on the bridge
may be viewed advantageously. The
power of illumination is to be decreased
from that formerly shown, as Col. Grant
is anxious to provide that the lighting
of the new bridge will not detract from
the illumination around the Lincoln
Memorial.

History of Halloween Rev calls Weird Old Customs

animals. Small wonder that We still catch our breath when a black cat turns his lantern green eyes our way.
 The Romans, little more civil ized. followed a somewhat similar custom. On November 1 they held pressing thankfulness for the purple grapes, the crimson apples and the golden grains in which their colorful souls delighted.
 Apple ducking and the burning of chestnuts began at this time, An other custom, no longer used, origin ated some place in Wales in the dust covered years of antiquity.
 When the fire hadburned down. stones were collected, named for the members of the group and placed in the embers. Next morn- ing a search was made for them.
 If the stone belonging to a cer- tain person had disappeared tho others shook their heads and started to collect a funeral wreath. Tor they believed that he who lost his stone, wouldn't be alive to name an- other one next year.
 Quaint Old scotch Custom
 Just when the custom started Of walking down the cellar stairs back wards, with a lighted candle in one hand and a mirror in the other, hopefully expecting to meet your future husbands reflection in the looking glass, no books tell. And fla girl sees anyone she usually doesn't tell, either.
 Once upon time in the highlands of Scotland, people believed that if q man put a spoonful of salt in his mouth. drank no water, and went walking down the road in silence until he came 10 q place where three crossroads met. and then sat very still on a three legged stool at mid night after a while a voice would mention the name of @ ncighbor who was to die during the year.

The goblins will get you if you don't watch out.
 For they've had their nut-brown eyes on people ever since the oldest cat and the wisest owl got together and planned holiday.
 Aerial transportation, world courts, tree-sitting marathons and the thou sand and one other signs of progress haven't been successful in destroying the witchery of a certain black night in late October when witches fly on broomsticks and small boys play a game with doorbells.
 Nobody knows how halloween started. But years and years ago, long before the beginning of Chris tianity, Halloween fires were glowing in far corners of the earth.
 If we light fire tonight the evil spirits will pass by" someone whispered on All Saints night-and ever after red flames curled from lonely moors. to prevent the sinister charms which this particular night was supposed to hold.
 Close upon the lighting of the fires came the belief in ghosts and witches; queer spectres against the moon flying back from Lapland; lost souls, thin and white and frightened; broomsticks that walked and owls that used their wisdom once a year.
 Druids Gave Thanks
 The Druids, who believed that spirits lived in the trees and brooks, observed Halloween much as We ob- serve Thanksgiving. They held an autumn festival, when they lighted fires in honor of the sun-god, eX- pressing their gratitude for the harvest.
 But back of this was a dark sha- dow that dimmed the light of the red, red flames.
 The Dfuids believed that on this night the god of death called to- gether the wicked souls that during the past F months had been con- demned to inhabit the bodies of

The man then picked up the down the road to tell the news. The doomed man didn't have a chance. The ncighbors started to inquire
 about his health. The minister
 asked his favorite task and made suggestions about the proper way to die. His wife measured him for
 his shroud. As result, very often the prohhecy came true. Other Salt Customs Over in Scotland. even now, house. wives empty thimbles of salt on every breakfast plate at night on Halloween. If the salt falls out of shape o many plate, it is taken as

 Girls in Scotland often eat salt
 cakes and go to bed without talking or drinking water, believing that

BROUN PUTS COLOR
 INTO HIS CAMPAIGN
Says "Slk Stocking" District
 Has Rayon in It

New York, Oct. S1 UP)-1n what New York calls it's "silk stock ing" election district a woman, magistrate and Heywood Broun arc trying to get elected to congress.
 The woman is Mrs. Ruth B. Pratt, republican incumbent; the magistrate is Louis Brodsky, dem- ocrat; Broun, columnist, sometime water-color artist and an authority on the technique of the three-card draw ill poker, is socialist.
 Had it not been for the can didacy of Broun the contest might have been just ''another campaign But because of his unexpected in- novations Mrs. Pratt refrained from pointing with pride to republican accomplishments and charged that he was in the campaign flor lark" Brodsky, who under ordinary circumstances might have been ex- pected to view a number of things with alarm, has done so with marked caution.
 And Broun has gone right ahead with the Broun campaign. Some how his hearers felt that he was laughing secretly at his opponents.
 I've heard it said during this campaign" Broun said in one of his radio talks, that I oughtn't to be elected because I've been seen in public when my pants weren't pressed.
 Will Press Pants
 I'm afraid that's true. But 1 promise the voters that if Pm sent to Washington I'll get my clothes pressed and be q model of sartorial splendor."
 Broun aroused Mrs. Pratt's ire when he referred to her congress sonal record as "colorless." During two years in congress she has made but two speeches, he sad-one fav- oring reduction of the tariff on sugar from "A cents to cents, and the other to read speech made by President Hoover to the Boy Scouts.
 Mrs. Pratt countered by saying that Broun. in the last 10 years, had failed in the most elementary duty Of citizenship by registering only three times. She indicated this was a record he could mot laugh off in his column or. anywhere else.'
 Broun retorted that he saw so little to choose from between the republicans and democrats that he didn't see much use in voting for either.
 Gets Judge Angry
 Mrs. Pratt in turn, aroused the Ire of Judge Brodsky by referring to him as a 'Tammany henchman."
 But aside from these little incl dents the campaign has been a model of politeness.
 Broun took back what he had said about Mrs. Pratt after he met her personally. He said he found her a very charming woman.
 And when the columnist was ar rested for picketing during a gar ment workers strike, Brodsky was the first on hand to obtain his re- lease.
 The appellation silk Stocking" district is a misnomer. as Broun said, there'is a lot of rayon in it. Although it includes the aristocratic Park avenue, it also takes in the dingy antiquaterd red brick houses in "Hells Kitchen"
 You will not find Mrs. Pratt or Judge Brodsky talking on street cor ners,' he told his audiences. "They don't have to. They have we'll oiled machines looking after their cam. paigns. The onl y machine I have, (pointing to his dilapidated auto- mobile plastered with campaign banners) is the Rolls-Royce I'm driving around.'

GREEN SEES LABOR
STILL UNEMPLOYED
BREAD Line" Not Necessary,
but Many Without Perma-
nent Jobs.
BY the Associated Press.

Although reporting that bread lines
are no longer necessary, President VIII
liam Green of the American Federation
of Labor, in statement made public to-
day, said comparatively few of the city
wage earners who have been unemployed
since January have gone back to work
permanently and others have been laid
of recently.
Unemployment reports for May show
very little improvement" Mr.. Green said
in a statement on the situation. Trade
unions in "a cities had as many still out
Of work as in the month of January,
although there Is usually a 81 per cent
improvement by this time Of year, our
figures show 20 per cent out of work in
May as compared to FL per cent IN
April.
THE last two months have failed to
show the usual Spring improvement,
due partly to the serious situation in
building, and also to the general slow
recovery of trade and industry"
Green said after the 1928 crisis i'm
provement from March to May was five
times as great as in the same months
this year, and last year in May hardly
more than half as many union members
were out of work. He added unemploy-
ment in the metal trades was four times
greater than year ago.
DiScontinuance of bread lines was at
tributed to the finding of seasonal en-
ployment by casual laborers who had
drifted into the cities for the Winter.
The largest improvement reported was
in the building trades, whose unem-
ployment decreased from 40 per cent in
April to 36 per cent in May.
