 Not Candidate
 In his formal statement Futile said he was not candidate for pub lie office and did not wish to be con- sidered in that respect.
 The statement was given out after he had held a conference with Will liam J. Mater, chairman of the re- publican state committee. Futile has been considered a like ly candidate for governor. His po- sition on the liquor question had been awaited with interest by party leaders.
 In his statement, Futile said:
 While temperance, as an aid to the moral and economic progress of our country, is desired by all, no one is, or could be satisfied with things as they are under national prohibi- ton.
 'The good in national prohibition lies in it's outlawing of the saloon and the saloon system and in its grant to congress of power to CO., operate internally within the states that maintain 8 prohibition system.
 "The evil in national prohibition lies largely in the compulsion sought to be placed upon states which do rot desire the prohibition system. This system, l believe should be eliminated from the constitution

Early in the evening, Bar ron, Steele and Henry Nredenberg visited Mrs. Elsie Biggo, of I'll Pennington avenue, sister of Steele.

J. s. Attorney Resigns With
 Prohibition Law Suggestion

New York, Sept. IT Charles H. Futile has announced his resignation &s United States attorney for the southern district of New York in a statement urging repeal of the 18th amendment.
 As a substitute for the amend ment, he advocated constitutional guarantee outlaWing the saloon sys- tenn and private traffic in liquor, and giving the federal government full power to assist in enforcement in those states which desire to retain prohibition.
 He advocated state control, sale and distribution of liquor in those states which desire to go wet.
 Pending legal action, he urged strict enforcement of the 18th amendment and the Nolstead act, with full use in New York state of the nuisance law to abolish plague spots of the liquor traffic"

BAD CHECK STUNT
 TRIED BY WOMAN
Grabs Paper and Flees When
 Address Is Checked Up

Samuel w. Menus, president of the Stanley Svea Grain and Coal Co., of 763 Stanley street is now strictly on his guard against pretty blonds with bewitching smiles and rubber checks.
 A woman about 40 years old, five feet, three inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds, with a bewitching smile and considerable of the it that famous movie queen cashes in on, stepped up to MT. Menus and said she wanted four tons of stove coal and one ton of nut coal, the latter to be delivered first to an ad- dress on Diamond street. Plainville, and the stove coal delivered a short time later. She offered check for $40 and said that she lived at Al Elm street.
 Something about the woman made Mir. Menus pause. He thought it q bit strange that a stranger would offer a check to pay for a ton of nut coal and give a Plainville ad- dress for delivery and local ad- dress for her home so he thumbed the pages of the city directory and found that Al Elm street was the address of the City Coal SS Wood Co.
 The woman grabbed the check and fled from the office. The name On the check was J. Johnson, and the woman had said that she was Mrs. Johnson. The check was filled in on a blank check of the Hartford Trust Co.
 There are so many women about 40, blond, five feet, three inches tall, and with bewitching smiles in New Britain that the police may have d difficult job finding Mrs. Johnson but they are looking for her.

ONE E-SIXTH OF U. s. FACING ACUTE NEED SAYS
 A. r. L. CHIEF

"Fmployments made no fur ther gains in October" says William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, in his monthly report on the situation.
 Trade union reports from 24 cities show 21 per cent still out of work as in September"
 With the conservation that has made A. F. of L. unem- ployment reports the most trust ed in the country, MT. Green points out that even in normal years there is seldom an increase in jobs in October over Septem- Der. Then he adds:
 But the very large number out of work on the threshold of winter is cause for serious con- cern. Last winter, the number out of work as indicated by our figures increased II per cent from October to January, and doubled by February.
 Winter before last when un- employment conditions were-un- usually favorable, the number out of work increased AT per cent from October to February"
 This factor must be kept in mind in all efforts to appraiSe the situation. It means that even in normal times, 100 men out of work in October mean 150 out of work in February. And

times now are far from normal.
 Wage earners this year have no reserves to fall back en-" MT. Green continues. Savings have been exhausted in the hard struggle of the past year.
 "The government officially estimates the unemployment at 3,500,000 An increase of the usual proportions would bring the number to well over 5,000,- 900.
 Including the families de- pending on these men and wo- men, over 2O,OOO,OOO persons, or one sixth of our entire popula- tion, are threatened with acute need from unemployment this winter"
 The condition thus set forth is appalling MT. Green adds that there is a large degrees of part time employment as well as complete unemployment. Trade union workers, who fare better than unorganized workers, in this regard, have IS per cent of their members working on part time.
 In many trades part-time em- |Dloynent is much larger. In the metal trades, it is B per cent; in other manufacturing, 29 per cent; and in clothing and tex tiles, it reaches Al per cent.
 Careful search fails to find many cheering items to offset these really terrible figures. Eight hundred and fifty textile workers in Fall River, Mass, have been put back to work after a long idleness. Textile labor receives a bare subsistence wage at best.

THANKSGIVING DAY

When you think of November,
 as the eleventh month ap-
 breaches, we very naturally think of Thanksgiving Day, as this was the first to be set apart
 for a national holiday and, for many reasons, is especially dear to our hearts. We think of
 family reunions, when every body's cup Of joy runs over, of laden tables, of song and mirth and gladness. And the day means all of these things-and more, a great deal more; it means that we must learn the secret of being truly thankful, and there is no better way to do this than by trying to give some body else cause for thanksgiving lending a hand" wherever there seems need, or the smallest op- portunity shows itself; and for this we shall not have to seek tar or long. Indeed it will seek us as soon as we open the door 10 it. If we can change the troubled look on a child'S face to one of brightness and joy, send the news boy on his way With a word of appreciation for his promptiness and courtesy, and perhaps double payment, for the papers of the week-there are a thousand and one ways to set the nipples of thankfulness in motion. And they do spread in wonderful fashion-try it and see! Then they are special days in November to consider. Arm istice Day is having it's twelfth anniversary, this year. How shall we celebrate it? That is a question for each of us to answer in his or her own way. If there is a Gold Star" mother near us, or if we know of one, we may we'll make this a day of special rememberance.

 Will it just mean big dinner, perhaps football game, and a rood time generally?
 If it does, you don't deserve he good things you have.

WESTERN UNION TO AID
 HIGHWAY TO NORTHLAND
Advertising Department of Great Corporation Seeking All Pos sible Information About High way

Requesting additional data on the International Highway pro ;ect, the Western Union Tele- graph Company through it's ad- vertising manager, H. L. Hamil- ton has manifested interest in he big undertaking. Writing to Donald Macdonald, the engineer, originator of the idea, MT. Ham ilton says:
 We are interested in plans for t he proposed International Highway along the route of the old Western Union trail, as de- Scribed in the enclosed article, and would like to further the movement by giving publicity to 1t and acquainting our organiza- jon with the facts so they may aid in enlisting the support Of che public.
 "For these purposes please send, or have the International Highway Assoiation send to us, available historic data, maps,
 newspapers and other available material"
 The article to which MT. Ham iltOn refers is from Telegraph and Telephone Age. It reads:
 President Hoover has ap- pointed Ernest Walker Sawyer of California, Herbert H. Rice of Michigan, and Major Malcolm Elliott of the army engineering corps as special commissioners to investigate the practicability of the proposed International High way that would connest Seattle with Fairbanks, Alaska, and make it possible to motor there from Florida on good roads. The project is awakening wide in terest in Alaska, according to word from that Territory. The newly appointed United States commissioners are to cooperate with representatives of Canada in their study, as the proposed highway would pass through British Colombia and Yukon Territory.

BECAUSE OF THY GREAT

Because I have been given much: I, too, shall give; Because of thy great bounty,

 By thy good care, l can not see another's lack And I not share My glowing fire, my loaf o1

DeCOHle GIle summer play- 1 ground of the nation,if the plans ! for the construction of this new | highway are carried out.
 According to Donald Mac Donald, locating engineer of the Road Commission and second vice-president of the In ternational Highway Association of Fairbanks, which has been formed to speed the develop ment of the project, the high way is so vital to the future of Alaska and essential to the de- velopment of stable and per manent population there, that the association is determined to use every resource in order that the construction be initiated within the next three years.
 MT. Macdonald recently gave an imaginary automobile tour over the proposed highway from Seattle to Fairbanks, stretch of 2,000 miles. Filling a gap of 1 7O0 miles is all that is needed to make the needed road connec- tiOn.
 The lure of a trip over such a highway, said MT. Macdonald, through this widely beautiful, primitive country, cannot be equaled any place in the civiliz- | ed world. Two thousand peaks of scenic beauty, the tremendous peaks of the coast and Alaska ranges with their glaciated sides lare revealed in a constant suc- i icession to the traveller
 MT. Macdonald then describ- ed the journey from Seattle to Vancouver, thence to Hazlton, B. C., the ancient camp site of ' a savage tribe, whose totem poles still stand, and again northerly, about fifty miles, to ithe present end of modern trav- | Iel, the motor road, 1000 miles north of Seattle.
 From this point, he said the road probably would follow the Iold Telegraph Trail. This is a line full of historic significance, he said, as it marks the path of those valiant pioneers of the Western Union Telegraph Com pany who attempted in the late sixties to build a telegraph line to Asia and thence across Europe and were only defeated in their purpose by the success of the Great Eastern in laying the Atlantic cable"
 To this day the Indians still use the telegraph wire left along the route. In one instance, on ,One of their pack trails they
 used the wire to construct a bridge that is said to embody
 every principle of bridge con- struction and that is in it's primitive way a rival of the
 great wire spans erected by the John A. Roebling's Sons Com lpany across wide rivers in the United States. The wire aban-
 doned in the early sixties was Isoon afterward appropriated by i+he Jndians for bridge making, land is said to be in good con-
 dition today.
 At Telegraph Creek, on the Gtikine River. the head of navi-
 ration from the ocean, there is "a thriving outpost consisting of Ihrnters, traders and trapperS, adjacent to one of the worlds
 greatest game regions This is lsome 1,200 miles from Seattle
 "The next point on the road
