Speaking of Sports

lMeriden handed Amsterdam a classic lacing in an American Roller Hockey League game played in Mer- 1den last night, the score being 10 to ?. The Amsterdam team was without the services of either Steve Pierce or Harry Thompson. The Meriden rushers took particular de- light in peppering Eddie Barnikow with all sorts of shots.
 Earl Pierce ran amuck in the con- test getting six goals while Kid" Williams got four.
 Meridcn will meet Newburgh to- morrow afternoon. Ncwburgh is leading the league and will have in it's lineup St. Aubin and Mulligan as rushers, Harliins at center, Hcbert at halfback and Bill Blount in 1the goal. Play will start at 3 o'clock.

 Joe Carroll's resurrected Bristol Endces basketball team will open the season tonight at the Bristol state armory against an all-star az gregation of Bristol High alumni players. The opposing team will consist of players who have made their court mark with the Bristol High school and they are still see ing plenty of action either in or out of school.
 Carrolrs crew is likely looking one and it will receive d real test of strength tonight. A good crowd of fans will turn out for the game, 1t is expected, because there has been a lot of buzzing about the Bell Town about basketball this season.
 Pro basketball will return to this city a week from tonight when Clar- ence Lanphcr's quintet will face Bristol. The local five has played only one game, that against the Holyoke Mohawks whom they trounced in easy fashion. The lack of patronage forced Manager Lan- phcr to close the state armory doors until after the holidays. The tilt with Bristol should bring out all the bas- ketball fans in town.

Showers of Blessing
Fall With Raindrops

From the Portland oregon Journal.
1t was raining waterfalls and electric
lights when drops drummed on the
roofs the other night.
1t was raining reservoirs and irriga-
ton. 1t was raining red apples and
leaves of bread and juicy steaks.
1t was raining millions Of dollars TO
help remove depression and stimulate
business again.
It was raining the fire that crackles
on the hearth to accent the comfort Of
home.
1t was raining the reserve of water
for springs, the rise Of water In the
streams and the cleansing of ooze and
debris from their channels.
It was raining health and hope and
mercy as from the hand Of God.
In the great plans for On.to-O Oregon
there ought to be chapter on rain,
the intellectually valuable rain. It ought
to relate how, after al the Summer
days and the uninterrupted sunshine
and the gradual accumulation OF dust,
the rain comes when cold gusts blow
elsewhere. It ought to tell how the soft
rain seems to wash away the sadness
of the spirit as well as furnish crop
insurance for the future.

Russia at Geneva.

It borders Just a bit on the ironical
that it should be Germany and Russia,
Of all others, that are reminding the
rest Of Europe, especially allied Europe,
of its duty and obligations in the realm
Of disarmament. The ball was opened
at Geneva yesterday, when M. Litvinod,
Soviet foreign minister, addressed the
first session Of the Parliamentary Com
mission which has been toying with
disarmament questions for the past five
years. Adopting typically hectorine
tone toward the representatives OF
"capitalistic" governments who faced
him, the Communist commissar for
international affairs lambasted Europe
for its chronic delay in coming to grips
with "nailitarism."
Leaving entirely aside the fact that
Soviet Russia itself maintains one of
the most formidable army machines in
Europe, there is something to be said
for the lecture which its spokesman
read to the Disarmament Commission
M. Litvinon quoted with undoubted
effect recent utterances Of eminent
League leaders, notably the foreign min
listers Of Denmark and Belgium. The
Dane told the Assembly in September
that Europe appears more disturbed
at the present moment than at any
period since 1924" The Belgian states
man declared that the Old World at
mosphere sis charged with electricity
and that "rumors Of war are spreading
like gas fumes" 1t Is the strained
Franco-Ttalian situation that mainly
gives rise to Europe's anxieties anc
alarms.
The Soviet representative emphasized
that pacts for the remuneration of wal
have not led to q decrease in arma-
ments, nor saved Russia from incur
sions Of armed bands" M. LitvinofI
ridiculed the French idea that arbitra-
ton and security must precede disarm.
ament, arguing, as Britain, Germany
and Italy have done on previous occa.
sions. that the situation now demands
disarmament more than ever as q pre-
requisite for security. The emissary o.

slogan, and all Washington should heed

VOteless District
Is Called MOckery

To the Editor Of The Star:
Now that the elections are over and
the people of 48 States have had a
voice in the election of their repre-
sentatives, the disfranchised, the goats
of the Nation, shall speak.
Are we Washingt onians so devoid OF
intelligence, SO lacking in patriotism
and interest, so incompetent that we
must be denied the privilege, or rather
the right, to vote?
We consider ourselves q part of the
great American Nation, and yet we
have nothing to say about the laws
created and designed for our benefit, or
even about the men and women who
shall make these laws. Is this justice?
Is this the true meaning Of democracy?
When the manhood OF our Nation was
called to arms during the last great
conflict of nations 20,235 washington
men offered their services and were ac-
cepted OF that number SOB men were
wounded and 408 gallant men paid the
supreme sacrifice. Surely this is a
proof of loyalty and love of country.
The census reports of 1880 show that
the population Of the District of Co
lumbia is 486,869. Each Of the follow
ing States has a population less than
that of the District of Columbia: YER
mont, Delaware, Idaho, wyoming New
all seven of these States have repre-
sentation and the right to vote for their
representatives in Congress and for the
Chief Executive Of the United States.
Is this not an odd sense of fairness?
Are we to be considered in class with
criminals or inbeciles, who are denied
a vote in national affairs? Must we
continue having to step across the
District line to enter the Nation.
Until we are granted our franchise
the immortal words of Lincoln, "A
Nation of the people, by the people,
and for the people," will continue to be
but a. mockeryl

VIII they order the bus companies to
open the windows? Yes.
Does it take q test tube to tell
whether the air in buses is bad? II It
does, it also requires a microscope to
discover whether the streets are
crowded at 4:30 pm.
The same phenomenon was once
identified with street cars, before people
stopped riding them. It was found,
after careful observation, that when
the cars were packed full Of tired per-
sons, going to or coming from work,
most Of them sneezing, coughing or
shouting "Get on my foot" the air
within was close, foul and fetid. Condi-
tons were improved when the ventila-
tors were opened, and many persons
were astounded by the discovery that
ventilators could actually be opened.
Possibly the ventilators In buses can
be opened. No definite proof exists, but
a commission equipped with screw
drivers instead of test tubes might
find out.

Occult Trade Prospers
In Spite Of Depression

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
National surveys indicate that at
least two industries movies and gaso-
line-are getting on very well In BUSH
ness way in spite Of economic depres-
sion. To these must be added another
industry that Is also prospecting because
Of, and not in spite of, the economic
stress
The beneficiaries of these depressing
times are the astro1ogers, crystal gazers
and others engaged in the occult busi-
ness. Unofacial surveys Of incense
reeking studios ind;cate that this bust
ness Is now hou Thing. There are
some astrologers in New York right
now" says one observer, who are
harder to see than the President of the
United States. Their fees are bigger
than those of our best surgeons
Ewindling pretenders to occult powers
and dlvination always find more VIC
Tins in periods of economic stress; it
Is one Of the accompanying phenomena
Of such times. 1t Is regrettable that
there is no national survey Of the occult
business as there is of gasoline pur-
chases and movie attendance. It would
be Q very revealing inquiry.

Full Support Is Urged

MY name means nothing, but there Is
hope that my words may mean little

tween the period of residence here
1909 and 1881 have voted, been a
voice among many, but still an essential
part of that voice. Now what am I?
What are you? Nothing, voiceless,
beating about the bush trying to do
things which you can't and never will
until you count for something.
All the endeavor to franchise the
District SO far has been fruitless. Don't
you want 1t? OF course. you do. Then,
like red-blooded men and women, get
behind every effort afloat. Insist that
this next session of Congress give you
your rights. There is no logical reason
against it. The fact that you are men
and women, human beings with the
same intelligence as your voting
brothers and sisters, entities you to the
same privilege as they, or else you sell
your birthright, class yourself with
ignorance and incompetency.
Demand the right to vote, and, hav-
ing received it, uses It wisely, loyalty and
reverently doing your bit to uplift
