GEN0ESE HONOR
 WEDDED COUPLE
Lighted Papers Line Water Front
 During Picturesque Rite

Coronata, Italy, Sept. 29 P - Saturday morning with the rising sun, as far as the eye could reach along the waterfront of Genoa, there occurred an impressive pro- cession of persons chanting, bearing lighted tapers.
 The pilgrimage was directed to the sanctuary of Coronata for the festival of "Pacciugo" and "Pacciu- ga,' the welded couple who were the Romeo and Juliet of Genoa but whose story ended happily, due to a miracle of the Virgin Mary, says the legend, in the year 1900.
 Couples of young lovers, decorated with flowers, spinsters carrying set bouquets, old bachelors, women, yelled in black tulle in the Genoese style, children, and long lines of uniformed sailors, tall Ligurians stolidly marching who had taken the day off, ard sailors in nonde- script suits, all followed the road to Coronata.
 At the church a prayer was offer ed to the Madonna. At the side altar stand two figures in a niche their faces burnt by the sun, Pac- ciugo and Pacciuga. who lie to- gether beneath the monument.
 Pacciugo, a Genoese sailor. so the story goes, and Pacciuga were the happiest couple in Genoa, boy and girl lovers. Pacciugo, captured by the Turks, pined 12 years in prison. His wife every Saturday walked to Coronata, prayed for the grace of his return; which was granted, for Pacciugo escaped.
 Finds Home Empty
 Arriving at Genoa he ran to his house to find it empty. Pacciuga was at Coronata praying the Ma donna for his return. Distracted, her husband ran to the neigh bors to ask for her news, met an ugly woman who said, Every Saturday Pacciuga disappears, people talk. I know, but won't say"
 When Pacciuga came in she said, You must come to the Madonna and thank her for this grace" So they started off in a boat, but Pac- ciugo, insanely jealous, stabbed his wife, tied a stone about her neck. and threw her overheard crying. ''Traitress' I know all." And his wife replied, Dear Pacciugo. it is slan- der-the Lord knows who sees all." and sank. crying to the Madonna and Pacciugo.
 Pacciugo landed his boat on the shore, and seized with remorse, ran to the church crying, Madonna. She was Abel and I was Cain. the dear innocent one. The devil blinded me. Forgive"
 His prayer was, disturbed by a step. Pacciugo looked up and saw Pacciuga come toward him. Dear Pacciuga" he cried. "Vision or woman"
 Tt is l." replied the girl. c'The Madonna transported me through the air to her church"
 Thus they lived in accord ever afterwards, and every Saturday walked to the sanctuary to pray to the Madonna. Every year thousands of pilgrims come here, bearing flowers. Young brides who have had a first quarrel with their husbands burn a candle to Pacciugo and Pac- ciuga even to this day.

SEN. ME REVIVES
 EQUALIZATION FEE
More QuarrelS in Congress Seen
 Over Farm Plan

Washington, Sept 29 P-The equalization fee principle of farm relief was revived today by Senator Nye. republican, North Dakota, fore shadowing another controversy in congress over agriculture.
 The renewal of the movement for the equalization fee which was twice vetoed by Calvin Coolidge is consid- cred not without political signifi- canoe in view of the recent drive of the coalition of senate democrats and western republican independ- ents for the export debenture plan, and the division of this group on the first proposal.
 Senator Nye said he intended to propose the equalization fee proposi- tion as a part of a new farm mar keting act at the next session. He said the depression of agriculture prices shows a need for this addi- tional legislation"
 Borah Fayors Debenture
 Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, IS an advocate Cf the export deDen- ture in opposition to the wishes of President Hoover but he has oppos- ed the equalization fee as uncon- stitutional.
 James A. Reed of Missouri. who has been mentioned as a potential democratic presidential candidate in 1892, likewise opposed the equaliza- tion fee while in the senate, but sponsored the export debenture.
 Senator Wye reports on his return from the middle west that the agri- cultural situation is the main issue in that territory. Party leaders are wonderingif the postwar problem of farm relief is once more going to haunt congress and political campaigns.

Pollock's Services to
the Nation Forgotten

Some of the men who did the most
to create the United States Of America
have never been given proper credit.
Without Robert Morris, for Instance,
Washington could never have kept
fighting. And there was Robert
Morris of the West, too. His name
was Oliver Pollock. F
Pollock was born in Ireland, but
emigrated early to the Colonies. He
lived for time in Carlisle, Penn, then
moved to Havana, Cuba. Later still,
he moved to New Orleans. He was
successful merchant and banker, Who'll
ly a self-made man.
Appointed commercial agent OF the
Colonies, he bought and shipped mu
nitions and supplies up the Mississippi
and Ohio rivers, and across country
from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia Gov.
Patrick Henry appointed him special
agent for the state of Virginia during
the Revolution, and in this capacity he
did more than any other man to
finance the George Rogers Clarke OK
petition. If 1t had not been for his
work, and for Clarke's, England today
would own at least good part of the
Middle West.
Pollock raised some 100000. mostly
on his own notes. But when liberty
was won at last, the new republic
promptly forgot him, and he was
thrown into jail at Havana for non.
payment Of personal debts. His friend,
Governor Galyez of Louisiana, on be.
coming captaln-general Of Cuba, re-
leased him on his own parole, and Pol
lock, undaunted, set to work and built
up second fortune.
He paid every cent OF his debts con.
tracted in the cause of a nation that
neglected him. When he died, a very
old man, at Pinckneyvllle, Miss, on
December IT. 1928, there was no Off.
cial demonstration, and today his name
Is forgotten.-Donald Barr ChIdsey In

ahead Of the story.
When Eloise Gary stepped out Of
the railroad station and found that
the rain was pouring down in a cloud.
burst she gave little gasp that sur.
prised the people near her and made
the taxi driver at the curb grin with
Joy. Eloise had just q dollar In her
purse and her best hat on her head.
Scant use there would be in applying
for first-class position with rain
soaked hat on her head. Yet with
only ten minutes between that time
and the time set for her interview
well, what was she to do?
Eloise gave quick scurry across
the sidewalk and jumped swiftly into
the taxi. Her briefcase with all her
samples of work was dropped on the
seat uncermoniously while she inter.
viewed the contents of her purse to
make sure that lone dollar had not
jumped out some place along the way
into the city.
Once at the door of the tall office
building Eloise took the brlefcase un.
der her arm, paid the man the fare
called for by the meter and added a
dime tip, which was more than she
could afford and less than the man
had looked for Then she ran across
the sidewalk once more and disap-
peared within the great doors.
There was no question about 1t, she
thought as the elevator rose smoothly

much more assured when she stepped
from taxi than she would feel had
she walked across the muddy ten
blocks from the railroad station. She
would certainly patronlze the taxi

The interview went smoothly and
satisfactorily until she was asked for
samples. Then she unstrapped the
briefcase, deftly opened 1t and watched
with fascinated and astonished eyes
while an insurance rate book and in.
surance folders fell out. This was
nothing like the inside of her neat
case, with everything rubber-banded
together and classified.
"Why-I--I must have picked this
up In the taxi and left my own on
the seat" stammered Elolse. IL
some one must have left this in the
cab"
"You came in a cab?" asked the
personnel man In surprise. His eyes
dropped. but Eloise knew that he must
think her work highly paid to be able
to afford taxi.
YES" she murmured carelessly,
land I know took my own case into
the cab, because / had opened 1t Just
inside of the station door to take out
my purse"
In half hour she found herself
walking into the street again, a
strange mans briefcase under her arm
and contract at twice the sum she
had intended to ask for her art work.
She went into the first candy shop to
have the chance of sitting down com
fortably at table and while waiting
