WHITE HOUSE WILL
 HAVE QUIET DAY
Christmas Without GrandChil-
 dren Seems Likely Now,

Washington, Oct. 8 LP)-It begins to look like a Christmas without grandchildren at the White House again this year.
 The Herbert Hoover juniors and their children were unable to come to Washington for Christmas, 1929. the first the Hoover family spent in the executive mansion and plans were made for celebration with the younger Herbert Hoovers and their three children on Christmas, 1880.
 However, illness brought the am- bilious radio expert son of the presi- dent and his wife to Washington months before their planned holiday visit. They are now living in The Five Tens" cabin of the presidents Rapidan camp, the highest point in that acreage, where altitude can have it's beneficial effect on the slight case of tuberculosis for which Her bert Hoover, junior, is receiving treatment. Their three children. Peggy Ann, Herbert Hoover III, and Baby Joan remain at their home in South San Marine, California, with a governess.
 But the younger Hoover and his wife now are seeking a warmer camp spot, in New Mexico or Arizona, for the winter months.
 President and Mrs. Hoover have never seen their grandchild Joan, born this past summer. A vacation trip through national parks, which might have led to some meeting spot, was abandoned by the president because of the drought crisis.

SUBMARINE TYPE
 STUDIED BY NAVY
Graft to Be Built Under Treaty
 Starts Discussion

Washington, Oct. R-The type of submarine which the navy is to build under the London treaty has been under discussion by the navy general board for the past month, it was learned today. with emphasis in the studies placed on numbers rather than size of the vessels.
 Naval opinion has held submarines of the past not entirely successful the S-boats of about 800 tons dis placement have proved too small to be of value with the fleet; the V-boats of approximately 1900 to 270O tons, are excellent but 50 large that they reduce too greatly the number which now could be built within treaty tonnage.
 Many Over Age
 A total of approximately 39,0O0 tons of submarines become over age within the life of the treaty, or at the close of 1886. Those which do not become over age are nine V-boats and II S-boats totaling 300 tons, seven of the nine V-boats already are built or building; the other two are appropriated for. The treaty permits 52.700 tons of submarines. The board thus has nearly 26,ooO tons within which to determine the type of submersible which most eff f1ciently fills it's needs, and yet all lows enough vessels for all practical purposes.
 A number of new submarine de- signs have been considered. It is understood now that the submarine most favored is one which displaces approximately 1000 tons. Should this type be approved soon construc- tion might be undertaken. using the made for the V-S and V-9.
 Navy Could Build 20
 Should a tonnage between 1000 and 1,500 be accepted for future sub- marines, the navy could build ap- proximately 20 vessels within the 26,O0O tons. With nine V-boats and Il S-boats, the navy would be equip ped with 40 effective submarines on December 31, 1886, the date of ex- piration of the London naval treaty.

ing is done, then a big job is up to
the newspapers. In thousands of
these offices, weary men and women
are taking down returns, tabulating
and forwarding them. There are big
headaches after such a scrimmage. p
Much depends upon the reporters
who forward the figures from the
various precincts. Some of them
seem to have easy going ways. If
the telephone line is busy when they
go to transmit the return. one sus-
poets that some of them put the fig
ures in their pocket and wait until
next morning. Meanwhile candi-
dates, party workers, and newspaper
men are taring their hair.
The public does not see why COM
plete returns are sometimes delay
ed for several days. The newspapers
build up very efficient systems for
covering their districts election
night, but it is impossible to tell
what people will do, and some of
them fall down. Controversies Of
ten arise about the counting of bal
lots. So the public will have to
learn to curb its impatient temper.
Meanwhile every person who un-
dertakes to transmit these returns,
should realize that the public is
keenly anxious for his report. An
important election may be decided
by the figures he is carrying in his
pocket. The telephone wires hum
on election night as they never do
at other times, and laws and poll
cies and careers tremble in the bal
ance.

MACHINERY AND UNEMPLOY.
MENT

Many good people express alarm
about the great number of wage
earners who are thrown out of work
by the introduction of labor saving
machinery. The recent depression
is attributed by some to this cause.
The results of this cause of unem-
ployment can easily be exaggerated.
This country has seen five serious
depressions within the past 40 years,
which periods began in 1898, 1907,
1918, 1920, and 1929. Now if labor
saving machinery throws people per-
manently out of work, the number
of unemployed should have kept in
creasing right along. 1t would seem
likely, since machinery has been in
tIoduced on an enormous scale dur
ing the past 40 years, that the num-
ber who had been thrown out of
work by new machines at some time
or other during this period would
probably number 25,OOO,O0O, and it
might be many more than that num-
ber
Yet the number who have been
unemployed during the past year is
apparently no greater than the num-
ber unemployed back in 1898 or 1907.
And when times are good, the num-
ber of unemployed is few, and no
more than it was in former years.
The machine not merely saves la
Dor, but it makes it. 1t gives work
to people to build it, to transport it,
to operate it. 1t produces merchan-
disc so much less eXpensively, that
people can spend money for other
things, which employs more labor.
A condition where millions of peO-
pie are out of work is a great calam-
ity and national misfortune, and our
people have been far too easy going
in tolerating it. All forms of gov
ernment. business corporations, and
should unite to set these
idle people to work. But when we
seek for the causes of this unem-
let us not blame the ma
that is the foundation of
American comfort.

THE POLITICAL LOSERS

America is a unique kind of place,
where they do things differently
from elsewhere. One of their diff
ferent ways is the quiet and peace
full manner in which people take
elections that go against them. In
many other countries, when people
lose an election, they organize a re-
volt, and proceed to put the success
full officials out with the force of
armies. In the United States any
one who makes any election disturb
ance soon has an opportunity for
prolonged reflection in some good
Jail.
Not merely do people quietly sub
mit-to an adverse election, but they
hate to show any feeling about it.
Most of them quiet right down, and
seem fearful that if they make bitter
remarks about the result, they will
be considered to lack sportsmanship.
So they laugh it off, and hope for
better luck next time. If they are
in the political game to any extent,
they proceed to build stronger
fences to hold in the next years
voters.
Many people carry this feeling to
such an extent that they are fearful
of admitting that they voted for a
political loser. They feel they get
laughed at if they do. So if they have
sore feelings, they carefully conceal
them and bob up smiling.
1t is a wonderful thing to have po-
litical results accepted that way.
There are many weak points in our
political habits, many places where
we fall down and tolerate dangerous
practices. And in many ways our
people are very lawless. But in this
quiet submission to the constitu-
tional way of choosing our rulers,
the American people set a model to
the whole earth.
If all the nations were equally CIV
en- to law abiding ways in this re-
spect, a great deal of the unrest that
plaques the world would be remOy-
ed. The revolutionary movements
that keep the world in turmoil
would be avoided.

NOVEMBER II. 1880

Armistice Day once more returns,
full of memories of the tragic World
War. Probably never in the history
of our country was there such an
Outburst of spOnstaneous joy. The
enthusiasm of the impromptu cele-
brations of that even in 1918 passed
all records. 1t told of the intense
strain under which the American
people had been living.
The eliminating thought of the
present Armistice Day celebrations,
should be that war is a most insen-
safe act of human folly. and must
not be permitted to occur again, if
there is anything that our people
and government can do to stop it.
There are respondent people who
say that no such change in human
nature is possible. The nations have
always fought and always will, it is
argued. Still, the human race has
abolished many other follies. Take
the delusiOn of witchcraft, for in
stance. A few centuries ago the
idea commonly prevailed that our
daily life was being bedeviled by
witches, who exercised their malig-
nant influence over their victims.
People were accused and condemned
to death for being witches. 1t was
said that people had always believed
in witches and always would. But
all the same, the witchcraft delusion
has disappeared.
Wars result from delusiOns just
as crazy as the withcraft idea, and
they do infinitely more harm than
the witchcraft fear ever did 1t is
inconceivable that the bright, achiev-
ing, scinetific people of our day, are
going indefinitely to drag around
the crushing chain of great arma-
ments, and that every once in a
while they are going to break loose
in one of these cruel wars.
That does not mean that any one
nation can suddenly disarm. But
the peoples of all lands are awake
to the folly of war, and they propose
that it shall stop.

IN AGRICULTURE DELAWARE
feeling of thankfulness prevails
generally that the political campaign
of 1880 is past, regardless of party
affiliation. The offering of sincere
thanks for closing the spineless cam
paign, will not be deferred until the
day set by President Hoover for ma
tional thanksgiving by all the peo-
pie. but freedom from disturbing
elements which retarded business
and created distrust, will permit
Delaware to settle into the custom
airy winter routine. Had even one
important issue for the people to
discuss been involved in the ballot
ing, a real interest would have been
aroused. The problem of liquor
laws was only a vague and chaotic
argument, with no effort to educate
the people either pro or con; and
moral problems have to be. in con-
crete form to arouse the people.
Politics is not the place for sensible
solution of the question. Too many
of each political party are involved
for a political party to handle it. In
the campaign just closed, it was
used as a smoke screen by the Dem
ocrats to rally their party to any
form of organization. However, that
is matter for careful and just con-
sideration of both for and against
its solution. There will certainly
have to be some adjustment of the
laws, so that morality can be main
tanned, and fairness by which at
least a form CT peace can be had. 1t
is not too soon for those who will
have bills to present to the next
Legislature, to have them prepared
and presented early in the legisla-
tive session.

"MELANCHOLY DAYSw

Said William Cullen Bryant, fam
Gus poet relative to these autumnal
days, "The melancholy days have
come, the saddest of the year" But
are these fall days melancholy, and
if they seem so, is the trouble with
the days or with us? If we feel that
way, perhaps our philosophy of life
is wrong.
Falling leaves of course suggest
the death of nature, for time,
which is not exactly cheering. Still
a very beautiful point of view was
expressed by the song writer who
composed the lines
20 wales with sunlight cleaning,
o lovely woodland bowers"
That applies in chill November as
well as any time. Even if the leaves
have fallen from the trees, the sun
shines through their naked branches
more freely and cheerily than in
summer Let us look more at the
sunshine and less at the shadows of
life.

WORK OF 12 YEARS

Some people feel that the world
has made very poor progress in the
12 years since the original Armis-
tice Day, in recovering from the re-
suits of the war. They are i'm
pressed by the still existing suspic-
ions, jealOusies, and hOstilities of the
countries that were then fighting
each other.
There is one thing, however, that
no longer exists, and that is the des-
potic power of several arbitrary
monarchs. who believed in war as a
means by which nations become
great and prosperous. The power
of those monarchs was a terribly
dangerous force. We have gotten
rid OF it.
In our own country in those II
years, our people cooperate better
in community movements. They
learned in the war experience what
you accomplish by cooperation.
Also labor and capital do not fight
each other as of yore. That alone
spells real progress.

RADIO PURSUES THE CROOKS

A considerable number of cities
are now using radio broadcasts to
apprehend criminals. Predictions
are made that within short time
all the larger cities will be making
use of this method. Michigan has a
state wide system for such, broad
casts, and excellent results are re-
ported.
When criminals obtained fast au-
tomObiles as means of getting
away speedily from the scene of their
crime. great obstacle in the way
of detection was established. But
the swift radio waves outrun the
fastest car.
If within few minutes of the
commission of any serious crime, a
report of that event is sent out by
air, great deal of assistance is CIV
en- to the defenders of our safety.
Distributing the news of crime
quickly is just as important as get
ting to fire before it obtains head
way. The cities where the crooks
gather should not hesitate to spend
money freely on this very helpful
method of rounding up these rascals.

FINDING WORKERS

The main problem in putting over
successful home town movements,
is to find people who will do the or
ganization work. A few willing and
overworked folks should not be ex-
pected to do all the work of these
enterprises. Give someone else a
chance.
Let newcomers who have just
moved into the town show what they
can do. They are commonly glad to
take hold of such propositions. 1t
gives them a chance to get ac-
quainted. In some towns they won't
appoint anyone to any kind of an
organization or municipal office, or
give one any recognition, until he
has lived there years. That spirit
holds back progress. Let us have
none of it in Milford.
