slick. But folks here wear jus. Slip
pors, while we Tinymites wear shoes.
They're soft and must be quite a
treat. I'd think, though, they'd slip
off their feet. Now wouldn't they
look funny, if a slipper they should
lose?"
The Travel Man then said, swell,
they are wearing slippers every day
and thus they all are used to it. A
slippers never lost. They cling right
to the feet real tight and everything
works out all right. Perhaps we
ought to do that, too. It might cut
down the cost"
This made the TIMES laugh in glee.
And Scouty said, "Oh, mercy me, I'd
rather have my good strong shoes. I
like them much the best. I fear, in
slippers, I would slip and also. I
might even trip" And this thought
was agreed to, very promptly. by the
rest.

THE STAR, in referring to this accident, edi-
torially, spoke of the good moral it con-
Veyed namely: Mot to oppose the spirit of
the age" Here is the editorial:
Jumbo is dead. The friend Of youth, the
admired of ALL the boast and wonder Of the
age is no more, and what remains to us is to
bear our loss with resignation and to extract
from the sad event its moral lessons.
Jumbo met his untimely, tragic death by
getting in the way of train of cars. He was
walking along the tracks with his keeper when
a freight train ran into him and crushed him
to death.
1.-THE moral of this distressing accident is
obvious. Jumbo is dead because, innocently, no
doubt he antagonized the course of events. He
opposed the spirit of the age and INSTRUCTED
the progress of mankind. Other big beasts
have tried the same experiment with invariably
the same result and the conclusion may
be accepted as fully established that in COLI
sions of this sort the course of events spirit of
the age or progress of mankind will always
win. If any one could have succeeded Jumbo
could, and Jumbo is dead. ="
Indeed, never in the history of the world
would this editorial fit in better than today,
for there are ever SO many people like poor
Jumbo, who feel that they are perfectly justi-
fed in butting an automobile out of the middle
of the street if they wish to do They little
realize that they usually have but the
chance coming to them, and only one funeral.
Combating such forces as trains and automo-
biles is indeed taking desperate chances with
ones precious life.
Jumbo was a great elephant and came here
first on May /, 1882 He was an unusually
large beast, his dimensions being: Circumfer-
ence of fore leg, feet 6 inches; around front
foot, feet inches; twice around his foot was

but little less so. The prizes were awarded at
the Riggs House last evening by George B.
Corkhill, who made appropriate address"
TO THE writer research work is extremely
attractive and interesting, though one
thing has always appealed to him as hard to
avoid, and that is getting interested in some
thing entirely foreign to what you are looking
for, for there are so many interesting things
one comes across in old newspapers and
books and elsewhere that If one stopped to
read them all, he would soon find himself get
ting nowhere. However one item, foreign 10
his quest, was so interesting to him the other
evening, in looking over The Star for boat
races. that he could not help but read it over,
and knowing that his many friends and the
public in general would be interested with him
in what ne was reading he decided TO copy 1t.
Here it is, taken from The Star OF September
16, 1885:
ST. THOMAS Ontario.-Jumbo the $780,
600 elephant was killed on the Grand Trunk
airline tracks, half a mile east OF here, last
night. His keeper was leading him along the
tracks when a freight train up behind
unnoticed and ran him down He was injured
so badly that he died in 30 minutes The
trick elephant Tom Thumb, also was injured,
one leg being broken"

elephant, Jumbo, it appears that the noble
beast lost his life while trying to save the life
of his favorite, the baby trick elephant Tom
Thumb When Jumbo saw the impending
danger which was not until the locomotive
was almost upon him, he grasped his little
friend in his trunk and hurled him far out of
danger. The little beast struck against a box
car with sufficient force to break a leg 8.
Jumbo made an effort to save himself then, but
it was too late and he crushed. The en-
CINE and five box cars were forced from the
tracks"

BREWER|ES READY
 ID RESUME WORK
Owners Count on Return Of Four
 Per Cent Beer

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. IS (UP)-- Milwaukee's million dollar breweries soon will be producing pre-prohibi- ton beer for retail sale at ten cents a pint, Fred Pabst, Sr., whose name has been known in the brewing in- dustry for years, predicted yesterday in an interview.
 T have gambled sS0O,O0O in new equipment on my belief that the 18th amendment will be modified to permit manufacture of beer" Pabst said. Every one of Milwaukee's other six breweries is ready to start operation on a moments notice.''
 Pabst recently said that the equip ment imported from Germany, could be used for making malt syrup as well as beer. He admitted, how ever, that the machinery would not have been installed were it not for the probability of beer coming back
 All of the larger breweries in Mill waukee, the city made famous by it's brew, have been producing near beer since prohibition, Pabst point ed out. In manufacturing the non- alcoholic beverage. he said, ''resu- lar beer" first is produced and the alcohol later removed.
 Breweries Prepared
 If beer of stronger alcoholic con- {oo lor h. s,,$o breweries can keep on making near beer and simply neglect to remove the excess alcohol.
 Under present regulations" Pabst said, "the alcoholic content of beer is limited to one-half of one convinced that the Wickersham committee on law enforcement will make a recommendation to congress during December that three and four per cent beer be allowed.
 T feel that the public wants beer back, and that congress will listen. if not next December, then in De- cember of 931. am willing to stake all my money on my expectations so that my company may be ready"
 Other evidence of Pabst's faith in the return of beer is seen in inn provements which his corporation is making to it's malt house and boiler rooms.
 The seven story malt house. con- taining germinating bins, belting and cleaning machinery, has been re- modelled at a cost of s125,000 The Pabst corporation has stocked it's warehouse with between $300,000 and s400,000 more grain than or would be carried.
 ~Pabst said the return of beer would provide employment for thou sands of men and increase the prices of grain crops.

Hoover Names Cabinet Group to
 Draw Up Program

Washington, Oct. Is - Govern ployment will be given increased ef- fectiveness to meet the prospect of increased suffering this winter.
 President Hoover, following a meeting with his cabinet yesterday, announced he had formed a com mittee, composed of six cabinet members and Governor Meyer of the federal reserve board. to draw up a program for continuing in strengthened form the federal em- ployment activities.
 AS a nation," the president said, i've must prevent hunger and cold to those of our people who are in honest difficulties.
 The government will seek to in crease direct federal employment in public works, but the emphasis of the presidential program will be placed on cooperation with gover- nors and employment organizations in regional measures for relief, and consultation with the principal in- dustries on methods for keeping up their output and their employment.
 Praises States Work
 Mir. Hoover stressed particularly the importance of state effort and praised the initiative displayed by several commonwealths in meeting their problems. He pointed out that the government for 10 months had maintained organized efforts to in crease employment with consider able success, while state agencies established at the same time already had shown fine results.
 "The present conditions of organi- zation,' the president said, 'very greatly in different states. In the great majority of industrial states the governors have on their own in- itiative taken steps to reorganize or develop or further strengthen their organizations for the forthcoming winter. During the past few weeks I have been in communication with some of the governors in develop ment of methods by which the fed eral government can further supple ment assistance to their organlza- tions.
 Wants Business Help
 "The cabinet committee will further discuss these conditions with governors and state agencies and will again seek the cooperation of our business leaders and our nation al industries which we have had on so generous a scale during the past year. We shall also review the feder- al situation of public works and the situation in construction among the national industries, together with other methods by which we can con- tinue to be of assistance"
 The president praised several state and city efforts, which he said indicated "a strong feeling of local responsibility and determination to meet the situation"
 He mentioned especially new un- employment plans in Illinois, New York, Ohio and Detroit.
 The cabinet members on the com- mittee are secretaries Lamont, Da- wis, Wilbur. Hurley, Hyde and Mel lon. representing Respectively com- merce, labor, interior, war, agricul- ture and treasury, which are the governments departments in a posi- ton to create employment or aid in dustry. They are to report to the president at date not yet set.

CAPITOL

Many and varied are the stories
related of Will Rogers and especial
" as to how he came to do his talk
ing act in vaudeville which, later.
became Of international interest and
entertainment.
The real truth OF the matter is
that Will Rogers practically stumb-
led into II.
When he left his native Okla
homa, where he enjoyed a tremen-
douS reputation as a rider and
roper, he essayed vaudeville and his
offering consisted Of roping, sans
talk. His company included Buck
Mckee and a COW pony.
The big punch in the act came
near the finale when Buck rode his
steel full tilt at Rogers and VIII
roped the horses legs individually
and collectively, winding up by dex-
teriously tying Buck to the pony's
off front leg.
