The usual
things
IT'S DIFFICULT to imagine the world
today without some of the things that
make our living in it SO pleasant and
comfortable How naturally we lift the
telephone receiver, step into the auto
mobile, and look for the news of the
world in the newspaper-every day of
our lives.
Another of these usual invaluable
things, accepted as part of the routine
of existence, is the guidance given by
the advertisements in this newspaper
insupplying our wants from day to day.
We read them. They help us to save
time and money And our lives go on
more easily and more fully
Every day the advertisements suggest
ways In which we can get tnlngS we
want with the greatest possible salts
faction to ourselves They tell us of
new conveniences and comforts of
which we would not otherwise have
known. They help us to get dOwn-tO-

us of proved values.

Former Boston Mayor Says He
 Is UniniQrmed as Yet

New York, March 25 (UP)-Mai1 colm E. Nichols, former mayor of Boston, returned with his wife aboard the Atlantic transport liner Minnetonka, yesterday from q trip that took him to the Riviera, Med!- terranean ports and London.
 Nichols, met by relatives and a group of friends from his home city, was reluctant to comment on domes- tic politics. He said, however, that he thought Senator Buffers candi- dacy was "a good thing for the re- publican party"
 On more general topics Nichols was Yolube. He said he had found Europeans working to better their standard of living and added that the traditional indolcnce of Mediter- ranean peoples soon would be a thing Of the past. Regarding the naval barley he observed that no matter what happened England and America would emerge firmor friends than ever.
 Asked whether he would accept an appointment as police, chief Of Boston, Nichols said he was out Of touch with the local political situi- ton and did not wish to comment at this time.
 He said he had found London similar to Boston in the way the two cities are spread out.
 What we need is more unified city," he said. we've been work ing for it for years and it's got b come"

IMMORAL ASP|RAN7 PRAISES HIS RIVAL
Smith Says Quigley Is Not
 Tainted by Machine Politics

Two rival candidates for the re- publican nomination for mayor stood on the same platform last night, George A. Quigley, the one who planned and was conducting the meeting, and Henry A. Smith, who chanced into the hall and took ad- vantage of the opportunity to speak briefly in praise of Quigley and in criticism of the third aspirant, Don aid L. Bartlett.
 Smith Invited to Speak
 Quigley was addressing a rally at Sons of Italy hall on Walnut street when Smith came into the hall. He remained to hear his rival and was about to leave when Luca Di Minna suggested to Chairman Prosper Francoino that Smith be given an opportunity to say few words. Ap- proval was voiced. After a few in troductory remarks, Smith declared: T am a man of many years in poli- tics and I want to tell you that l admire MT Quigley for his independ- ence. He has none of the taint Of machine politics about him; neither have I. Of course they tell us that others haven't either, but we know better. The man elected in this cam- paign should be MT. Quigley or I. Of course I hope it is l, but if MT. Quig- ley should be elected I'm sure you will find every man is welcome at his office.'
 Talking informally with members of the club later in the evening, Smith criticized Bartlett, remarking that property owners cndeavoring to hold onto their homes cannot await the benefit of commission promised by Bartlett to survey financial needs of the city over period of years. Quigley for Reasscssmcnt
 Candidate Quigley spoke for the most part on the issues he has dis cussed at previous rallies and con- cluded with a defense of his move for re-assessment of property. Alder man David L. Nair, one of Bartletts campaign managers had attacked this proposal claiming that reduc- ton in assessments would be follow ed by demands by banks for imme- diate payment of a part of first mortgages held on the properties. QNigley answered that banks have not loaned on inflated values, and that a cut in assessment would bring the valuations to a closer relation with market prices.
 Davenport Quizzes Bartlett Clifton F. Davenport, candidate for the school board on the inde- pendent party ticket, attended d Bartlett rally at the Stanley school and took occasion to ask the mayor al aspirant few questions. He in quired what Mir. Bartlett regards a fair value for tax purposes on each $1,000,000 of inventory value, and was told that the candidate considers the ratio should be fixed by the as sessors. As to what amount of out standing stock of factories he con- siders should be taxed, he answered none" and added that only real property should be on the list. He was unable to give the amount of tax

CANADIAN LIQUOR TREATY PLANNED
Reciprocal And-Smuggling Law
 ArOuSe Resentment

Ottawa, Ont, March 25 (UP) - Actual negotiations between the United States and Canada for a reel procal "liquor" treaty, have been opened, Prime Minister Mackenzie King told the house of commons.
 The statement last night came during a warm debate on the penl- ing King liquor bill during which the prime minister had been vigor- ously attacked by members who ac- cused him of succumbing to "Ameri- can pressure"
 Replying to the charges that he had been coerced into sponsoring the bill by the United States, King declared that a treaty was not all impossibility and would prevent smuggling both from the American and Canadian borders.
 Tells of Pressure" Threat
 c. H. Cahan, of Montreal. ha been one of those who opposed the bill which would in effect give the Canadian authorities power to con trol exports of liquor if it desired. Cahan said he had been approache'l by high official of the United States that if such legislation was not enacted the United States Was prepared to place between 5000 and 10000 armed men on the border. i,,fc ha+ .f was brought to bear upon the prime minister" Cahan said King denied this, at the same time | continuing his defense of the bl!l mentioning the treaty as evidence | that regulation of the traffic would be of reciprocal benefit. Other mem- bers had pointed out that grea; l quantities of moonshine liquor were smuggled into Canada from Vermont and other states.
 | "The United States made no effort to prevent such smuggling" Cahan said.
 Mentions Boat Incident | The prime minister mentioned the I'm Alone" incident as evidence ol the need of such a treaty between the two countries and described the present situation as ''perilous" now because of the absence of such legis- | lation.
 | Henry Bourassa, famous Quebet nationalist. was bitter in his attack | on the bill.
 "We must pass it." he said. "Wc l do it because of the power of the United States to force it's demands on us. We had better admit it. That would be the only justification | for a law like this.
 This legislation will not prevent 1-100th of the liquor traffic in the United States. It will go in a round about way, that is all, and there w. be mere hypocrisy"
