CATS NOW RESIDENTS
OF TRAJAN'S FORUM
Mighty Ruin Recently Excavated
From Ancient Ruin Offers Fee
line Displays.

ROME, October is (N.AN.A).-That
ancient Rome today can still decline
and fall is evident from the sad estate
Of the newly excavated Traian's Forum.
This mighty ruin has become one Of
the strangest of the worlds homes for
abandoned cats.
The forum is situated in q deep hol-
low, around which is a wall sur
mounted by an iron railing. One cam
not descend into the forum from the
street. but when the visitor locks over
the ratings he can see all the poor
Roman pussies which have lost favor
with their owners and the kittens which
were unwanted additions to Roman
families, ginger cats black toms, tab
bies and tortcishells. smooth and fluffy
specimens. But they walk in Trajans
footsteps with velvet paw and contented
purr. prosperous and well fed. Nearby
fish shops sell parcels Of their wares
for visitors TO feed the cats. much as
the corn vendors cater for those who do
the same ONCE for the pigeons on st.
Marks Square, Ia Venice. Trajarl's cats
are becoming one Of the sights.

MARKET CONTROL
HELD FARM HOPE
c. c. league Says Grower
Owned Co-operatives Great
est Agricultural Need.
~ the Associated Press.

i
UTICA, N. Y. october Sc. G.
league, member Of the Federal Farm
Board, told a meeting of farmers here
today the greatest assistance to agri-
culture that can come from Federal
and State aid Is the gradual develop
ment of system of grower-owned
and controlled marketing.
This conclusion, he said was one Of
Q group of fundamentals" which the
board has laid down for its guidance
after its is months Of studying agri-
cultural problems.
Interfere With Agencies.
He pointed out that development of
co-operatives cannot be accomplished
without interference with existing agen-
cies, and expressed the hope that the
necessary readiustment may be
brought about with as much considera-
ton for existing agencies and invest
ments as possible"
league listed three other conclusions
that are becoming even more clear to
the board: That all of the problems of
agriculture will never be solved by
legislation: that sterilization corpora
lions to deal in SURPRISES are only war;
ranted In cases of emergency and must
be approached with the utmost care or
more harm may be done than good.
and that the law of supply and demand
cannot be lightly set aside.
In spite of the suffering caused farm
ers by the decline in industrial stocks
league declared. "the organization of
co-operatives have been greatly acceler-
ated by the very existence of this de-
preston.
Recognize Necessities.
when farmers are in their greatest
adversely" he said, "they recognize the
necessity of securing control of the mar
keting of their products and are much
more prone to act collectively than they
are during more prosperous times, when
their products meet with a more ready
sale at good prices"
As outstanding examples of co-opera-
tive enterprises that flourish in spite OF
depression, he cited the California citrus
and walnut industries and the dairy in
dustry of the Nation. These three
groups, largely controlled by co-opera-
tives, have been able to merchandise
their products as successfully as in
former years, he said.

Trout-Loving Thief
Seines %, 900 Fish;
Leaves Pond Bare
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MADISON, Wis, october Is
Trout filching-not flshing-has
come to pass. Twenty-three
thousand trout, eating size, have
been filched from a small pond
on the Nokoma golf course.
The trout, of the brown and
rainbow variety which are so
succulent when drowned in but
ter and garnished with parsley,
had been placed In the pond for
later transplanting in other
waters from which they might be
fished, one at time.
Somebody with a mania for
trout and too impatient to take
them out one by one with hook
and line apparently has seined
them out.
The Izaak Walton League,
which planted them, is indignant.

Americas Rise in Aviation

European nations popularity supposed to be
far ahead of America in the of commercial avia-
ton lines. Now, however, the American Air Trans
port Association is quoted by Worlds Work maya
zine asserting that America leads Europe in air
passenger travel-which is both surprising and
gratifying.
Londons famous airport Croydon field handled
1858 passengers in one month, and in the same
month the airport at Tulsa Okla, handling 1873,
Paris LIE Bourget took care of 1850 while Chicagos
airport handling 1886. These figures sup
piled by the magazine, and there seems no reason
to doubt them.
The plain fact is that commercial aviation in this
country is making steady, healthy growth. The
extravagant prophecies of couple of years ago may
not be fulfilled yet but aviation is moving forward.

A Lagging Program

The average citizen probably takes it for granted
that the federal government with its string of nation
al forests is doing all thai need be done in the d-
rection of reforestation. However, Charles Lathrop
Pack The wellknown president Of the American Tree
Association declares in the July Review of Reviews
that insufficient appropriations and decentrazed or
ganizaton are keeping the program from being put
forward at anywhere the proper pace.
at our present snails pace of planting he says,
sit will take more than LOCO years to reforest the
areas that we devastated in less than century. We
are Witnessing today the progressive pauperization Of
townships and counties that trived long as timber
lasted ard which are now slowly dying and literally
going INTO bankruptcy"
Mr.. Pack knows the situation, probably, as well as
any man in the country His words are not at all
comforting. Apparently need entire new re-
forestaton program if forest resources are to
endure.

Naval Orchards

No one will doubt the patriotic motives OF the
little band of senate die-hards and aged admiras
who are trying to kill the London naval treaty But
thew should be reminded of one simple TACT winch
they seem to have forgotten in the heat OF tneT ne
The fact is that this is a democracy supposed to
be ruled by the majority Even if all the imaginary
dangers of the London treaty were real they could
not menace our nation as much an attempt at
r,inoritv dictatorship within the government ITSELF
Nou, the country is Overwhelmingly for treaty ratl-
ecaton. The senate is for it approximately four 10

This situation in itself is pretty good proof that
the treaty represents some sacrifices by each coun-

In company with great many Americans TINS
nsvqnaner thinks that the London pact is far from

American delegation and administration stood by
the original Hoover reduction pledges
Nevertheless the treaty does grant the United
states approximate parity with Britain in all classes
of ships which never was granted before, and 1t
does preserve American naval rights.
Refusal to ratify the treaty would break the faith
of other nations in peaceful intentions and ser-
ouslv would impair international relations That
must not occur.

Buncombe Lives 1t Down

Back in the sixteenth congress old Representa-
tive Felix Walker debating the Missouri question,
gave his home county of Buncombe, North Caro-
lima. a dubious fame and added new word to the
American language by insisting that he was bound
h make a speech for Buncombe'
But Puncombe county has new and better bid
IN fame L. R. Alderman adult educational spe-
cislist in the United States bureau OF education ap-
healing for his inspiring cause, tells of movement
in that mountain county that well might be studied
bv business men and analysed by economists.
In 1919 teacher named Mrs Elizabeth Norris
landed in Buncombe. She found there 1000 adult
fterates and civilization at its lowest ebb" She
started an adult education movement in a small way.
1t spread.
Today, more than 1000 of these grownups with
an average age of so attending night school,
learning to read newspapers and books, to add and
subtract to emerge from the jungle Of ignorance.
Business men there tell me that this movement
has transformed the whole community" Alderman
says The new enlightenment has reflected itself
not only in a spiritual liberation, but in greatly in
creased buying power
Alderman says there are some 100000 Americans
who. ike the mountaineers of Buncombe county.

Repeating the Primary

That grand Jury which failed to lndlct
anv one after discovering evidence OF cor
runtion and fraud should advise the repeal
of the primary law is not at all surprising.
Il is now fashionable to blame the
urinary for everything that happens IN
government.
OF course. it would have been more log
zeal had there been recommendation UhaC
safeguards be placed about the ballot ana
that It be made more difficult for combina-
tons Of politicians in both parties TO vote
the names of dead men and fictitious per-
sonages.
II would have been even better had there
been recommendations for more dennlCe
responsibility for frauds so that 1t would De
easier 10 convict those under whose eyes
frauds are penetrated with such appar-
ent ease.
The record of the primary is not 100
per cent. But it compares most tavoraoiy
with the results of conventions as Tar as
obtaining either good tickets or representa-
tive tickets.
The convention becomes the easy tool OF
the manipulation. 1t can be handled by
those VINO meet in secret. It's decisions are
most often the result of anger and enmlty
rather than calm and deliberate judgment
Instead of a repeal of what is left OF the
urinary. short ballot and more complete
use of it for nominations would probably
result in better government.
A movement to restore the primary for
senator's and the governorship would not
lack support in the next legislature.

Exercises Beat Reducing Machines

ercise in developing other parts Of
the body.
Indeed, the Council on Physi-
cal Therapy points out that vibra-
tory massage of the abdomen with
strap attached to motor for ten
minutes can not give as much bene-
fit as a ten-minute fast walk with
conscious effort given to holding in
the stomach and abdomen.
The tendency is for people to be-
come very tired promptly of the
shaking devices and hence to dis
continue all exercise. Moreover a
few instances have been reported in
which people with appendicitis, or
rupture, or ulcers of the stomach
have been injured seriously by using
these machine without any ade-
quate knowledge of their physical
condition.

SCIENCE
Mastering q Metropolis"
ProUes Gigantic Task for
Best Minds of Gotham.
BY DAVID DIETZ-

DAGDAD on the Hudson was
ID what o. Henry named New
York. Today it is a more wonderful
Badgad than ever before, as the tall
pyramided skyscrapers rise majestic
ally toward the clouds. The NINA
rets of an oriental Bagdad would
.eem like doll houses beside them.
It is a more wonderful Bagdad
and a more fearful one-as anyone
who has attempted to ride the sub
way in the rush hour will testify.
Wonder and fear sometimes are
related emotions. In the case OF
New York, the causes Of wonder ana
fear are related phenomena.
For skyscrapers cause congestion
which requires subways. And sub
ways invite congestion which en-
courage the building of more sky
scrapers. And the result is that the
more majestic the rise Of the mod
ern pyramids, the more terrible and
inconvenient the push and jostle OF
street and subway.
Some ten years ago a group OF
public-spirited citizens observed this
problem and a hundred other prob
lens which beset the future OF New
York.
The result was that a meeting
held on May 10, 1922, the commit
tee on regional plan of New York
and its environs held its first pub
lie meeting. Elihu Root was the
principal speaker at the meeting.

They Keen Busy

EDISON could have retired as one
II of the worlds greatest inventors
forty years ago, and Ford could
have quit as one of the worlds
richest men two years ago. Why
do you suppose they did not?
They had sense enough to realize
that it would have been the end;
that ease would have meant moth
ing but dry rot after the active lives
they had led, and that the only
way they could make the years
pleasant and agreeable was to
go on.
Edison, though 81, still is study
ing and experimenting.
Ford, though 81, is extending his
vast industrial organization, build
ing plants in England, Italy and
Russia, planting rubber trees in
Brazil and establishing goldenrod
plantation in Georgia.

War Gave Proof

THIS age in which we live was
Il not created by men and women
who performed stunts when they
were 70 or 30 and then spent the
rest Of their lives showing off or
taking things easy. What is more,
it can not be perpetuated by them.
1t takes longer now to master the
rudiments of human knowledge
than it ever did before and it takes
longer to make practical use of
them.
The man who would beat records,
improve devices or discover ney
principles must expect to stay a
longer time with the job.
In one sense of the word, this is
youths AEGEAN age of speed and
power, requiring clear eyes, steady
hands, and sound hearts. But in
another sense of the word it is an
old mans AEGEAN age that has
gone deeply into the secrets Of ma
ture and that requires the wisdom
of years for guidance.
Nothing brought this out so clear
" as the late war, in which most
of the privates were under 30, while
most of the generals were over so.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE :

In the first place, it is felt that the
psychology that their use devel-
ops in the patient is wrong, since
they convey the impression that
the machine has curative quail
ties and that it is unnecessary for
the patient to do anything, but
that he can leave everything to
the machine.
1t is argued that the machine will
accomplish things that can not be
accomplished by simple exercise, but
in the instance of extra fat around
the waist actually better results are
accomplished by leg and abdominal
exercises without apparatus, and
better results for weight reduction
can be accomplished by a walk or
slow run in the fresh air.
The machines treat only one part
of, the body at a time and do not
have the advantage of general ex-
