crossed the highly polished floor and

and there was revealed the tear

forty, yet easy to admire in spite OF

THE HON. MARoUEsE De GLORIA

To-day Negro rhythm predomi-
mates in dance and music" says the
Hon. Marquese De Elorza. Having
travelled extensively throughout the
world, this well-known authority be-
lieves that the cultural advance Of
civilization in this country is being di-
rectly affected by the originality of
Negro talent in art. He states also
that UNA PLEGARIA "a Prayer) by
an illiterate Cuban Negro named Pla-
eide, is as great as any of the work
of Homer and Virgil, two of the
worlds greatest poets. The Marquese
is an art critic, a famous journalist
and internationally known cOsme-
tician. His products are sold through
out the world.

A nice young man OF New YORK Guy
would like to know.
My dear Mrs. Jerome:
I am twenty-five and not bad
looking but / am rather small and
thin and I Just don't seem to at
tract women. I have had several
sweethearts but invariably they
leave me for some other fellow
who knows less and has no man
ners but lust who happens to be
bigger. I've lost several to Jim,
q pal of mine. He's not hand
some and he's positively rough at
times and vet women adore him.
Now. I've always heard women
liked cavemen and what / want
to know is why they like them,
II I were a woman l Shouldnt
want q man like that.
FIL-MANNERED.
My dear young man, that is an old
old story.
WAY back, at the beginning of love,
In the year One Million BIC. cave
women selected their mates for
proweSS. They had to have a man
strong enough to protect them ana
their young from the attacks OF oCner
animals, 1rOu1 SGOIlllS, l1onl HuOuSAAeS'
from all the terrifying manifestations
of a hostile Nature. And how could
they know a mans strength unless
they felt it themselves? And so 1t is
that women still want a man to pro-
test them.
Even an emancipated woman wants
a man who could, if called upon,
fight for her.
However, a man does not have to
be six feet tall and weigh two hun
dred pounds to be strong and IN
spire respect. Many men that are
large are soft. pudgy and inspire pity
and amusement Women don't really
want a brutal man but they want q
virile man. Brutality is sometimes
the earmarks of virility.
Your friend Jim is probably more
virile than you Manners are rather
superficial things but virility Is

what makes the world go round and
keeps the race from dying out. Vir-
ility can be acquired by exercise,
good food and straight thinking.
Stop "beefing" and learn to be an
honest goodness man.

A NEW NORTHEND SCHOOL

For four years parents of children attending the Northend school on Bassett street have presented argu- ments why the present building is below par. Finally comes the an- nouncement that plans for a new building have been drawn.
 Sympathy naturally goes toward the parents. The facts are all in their favor. A new school will have be built soon anyway, and in view of the attractive bond market a more favorable financial arrange ment could be made now than per- haps later. Lastly, of what prac- tical value is the talk about provid- ing necessary work for the unem- ployed unless a city with such work to do refuses to carry it out?
 It is true, of course, that new schools built during the past half dozen years have cost the city con- siderable money. They were built during the time of high costs, how ever, and any one of them could be duplicated for much less If built to- day. Citizens are mighty glad, how eevr, that they were built. We have yet to find a Parents and Teachers association in connection with any of the new schools which has de- denounced their construction,
 Refusing to go through with necessary public improvements at a time when the costs of acquiring them are at their lowest is poor economy. An administration is known by what it does, not what it doesn't do,
 Let the plans be pushed so that work can be started promptly.

SCREEN MARRIAGES

Why they don't stay married is the title of an article in movie magazine. We didn't read the article while sitting in barber's chair, hav- ing the thought it would be uplift- ing to a married man.
 Then came the story over the wires that Pola Negri had filed suit for divorce from Prince Mdivani, the reconciliation on Friday, December 13 last having failed to stick.
 We are wont to chuckle about these rapid fire Hollywood marriages and divorces. But do not overlook the fact that the screen stars are idols for millions of young people, W ho see them in the flickers and read about them with avidity.
 Possibly most of the screen stars originally were opposed to divorce when they had less spectacular means of employment and when they knew nothing about art. After they get upon the heights "easy come and easy go" does not apply solely to money.
 We wish we had read the article.

that while the number of Italian born in the United States increased 20 per cent from 1910 to 1920, the number of German-b born decreased more than 20 per cent.
 In view of these facts, it is high ly probable that the figures for for eign- born in the United States in 1880 will show the Italians to be the largest foreign born group in the country.
 Of the immigrants from Italy since 1899, 16 per cent have been north Italians and S4 per cent have been south Italians, including Sicilians and Sardinians.
 In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, the last before the outbreak of the World war, Italians were 2S3,- 73S (26 per cenD of the 1,096,24 immigrants admitted. At present, only 5,S02 immigrant aliens are ad- missible annually from Italy. This is S$t per cent of the 15O,000 admis- sble from Europe, Asia, Africa, and European possessions in America.

CERTAINTY OF PUNISHMENT

Dr. James M. Doran, chief of the treasury's alcoholic bureau. said at least one indisputable truth when he remarked that this country is sadly in need of reform along the lines of rapidity of trial and certainty of punishment"
 He thinks, however, that the pro- hibition law has contributed very little to the crime statistics. In this he naturally talks as a professional prohibitionist
 This is d great nation for lawyers and legal technicalities. They ire quently work for the benefit of the criminal
 It is also a great nation, in spots like Chicago, for undue influence between the criminal element and politics.
 It is also a great nation, in spots like New York. for scandals on the bench, the very place that should be free of all breath of scandal.
 And it is a great place for crimIn- als. in more than one spot, who more than half the time never even get caught or are brought to trial.
 Dr. Doran is optimistic. He thinks the Hoover law enforcement com mission $ going to start the ball rolling in the right direction. That would be most agreeable to the public; but what of states rights to remain unreformed. or the political criminal merger in some of the great cities which must assist in such reforms before they can be ac- complishad?
 And coming down to bed rock much. if not everything, depends upon the people in these cities and states themselves. As long as they allow themselves to be led around by the noses by their political over lords not much reform in this direc- ton is likely to be accomplished.

THE POSTAL BAROMETER

We may be wrong about it, but we think the amount of business done by the U. S. postal department is as good barometer of general business conditions as any other.
 Particularly, as postal statistics indicate. the volume of third and fourth class mail over a period of 60 years has risen and fallen in di- rect ratio with the business cycle.
 Third and fourth class mail this year was distressingly low during August, and nearly as low during July. By September, however, there had been signs of an increase. The volume of September, 1929, had not been approached; and that could scarcely be expected. The mere fact that an increase in such business is under way ought to be significant to everyone except Wall street.

Incidentally he also is a leading foe of the great power in terests, having gained much atten- tion in the past through his giant power survey.

A SMALLER COUNCIL

Alderman Mlynarski's revival of a plan for a smaller council will not work. It would require action by the Common Council itself to bring about such change in the charter. Who ever heard of a Council decid ing to eliminate part of itself?
 Now if Alderman MlynarsN had d plan for q larger Council that might have a chance, A larger Council would give increased opportunities for the honors Of belonging to the parliamentary body in City Hall.
 Another argument for smaller Council is that it could be more easily controlled. Who wants to con- trol it?
 One good idea is that a Council cannot be controlled so easily is a better Council.

Quigley Given Setback By Republican Voters

Indication that the Quigley dy- nasty is susceptible to those inf1u- ences which brought about the downfall of the pitcher that went to the we'll too often is not lacking. The voice of the republican voters was heard Thursday night when the Quigley machine attempted to put across William Quigley, cousin of the mayor, for the nomination for repre- sentative, and failed.
 The result can be interpreted only in one way-a rebuke for the head of the machine. Mayor Quigley pro- claimed that he intended to support his cousin. The Quigley workers at the primaries are closely allied with the mayors organization. Some of them are his personal appointees and others are under obligation to throw their strength to him in a political contest. Many who were openly in favor of Quigley when he was a can- didate for mayor and who gladly hustled to get out the vote, asked to be excused from rushing to the aid and comfort of his cousin.

PREDICTS
 UTILITIES BATTLE
Sees Conflict Over Privately De-
 Veloped Resources Soon

San Francisco, Oct. 1 (Pl-A con- fict in the near future between pro- ponents of privately developed nat ural resources and those who hold the public's rights paramount was predicted in an address here yester- day by United States Senator Hiram Johnson of California.
 Addressing the Commonwealth club, Senator Johnson said the con- f1ict had been foreshadowed in the senate in it's battle over the nomins- ton of Circuit Judge John J. Park CT and Charles Evans Hughes to the United States supreme bench. The nomination of Judge Parker failed of confirmation
 Senator Johnson said the senats battle sharply defines what is to be irrepressible conflict of our times. The two philosophies of government are at war. The not far distant fu- ture will witness them at grips"
 The senator also discussed the posed development of Muscle Shoals. he said. "and at the same time. while decrying government develop- ment of what actually belonged 10 the people, the farm board was go- ing into Chicago wheat pit blowing in millions of the peoples money in the greatest gamble on earth"
 Senator Johnson assailed the naval armament treaties of recent years. He said each agreement saw United States diplomats bow to the de- mands of Great Britain and JapanI
 'In the guise of limitation of navies and disarmament" he said. in referring to the London pact, 'a' treaty has been imposed upon the American people, which neither dis arms the parties to it, nor reduces American naval armament below the American program; but which to be effective, requires an American navy to be built in its most impor- tant clements, according to British specifications, and which, if built, will cost American taxpayers more than one billion dollars"

HALT ELECTIONS
 WHEN TURKS RIOT
Women Carrying Flag Of Mo-
 haInlned Are Arrested

Istanbul, Turkey, Oct. Ii lP)- Three hundred Turks, including many women bearing the green lag of the Prophet Mohammcd, marked the solemnity of the Moslem Sab- bath yesterday by storming the mu- ricipal election booth in the mosque courtyard of Cassim Pasha, in the Golden Horn Slum, of the district which had gone over entirely to Fethi Bey's new opposition party.
 Shouting Long live the Libera. Party!" the mob crashed through the courtyard gate. The police seized the ballot box, which was an urn, and locked it within the mosque, proclaiming the elections discontn- ued.
 They proceeded to arrest tho flag- bearers and disperse the crowd
 Fethi's repeated declarations that his party is as secular as Ismet Pasha's have not influenced tho spirit of conservative Moslem crowds.

Little Golf Courses Appeal To Mans Sporting Spirit.

One of the Vaccinations Of golf on portunity it provides to exercise the desire to place a little bet which is native to most men.
 Four business men were playing on a course on Tuesday evening. At every hole greenbacks changed hands, and at the end of the match, the 18th hole, one man said, Well, I am out exactly 100 bucks" An other said, T am ahead about sS0." The other said nothing.
 In a local restaurant one evening four young fellows of high school age were placing dimes upon a table. Each had a score card. and each was figuring out how much he was ahead or behind.
 Joe, you owe me 40 cents and I owe Bennie 20 cents, Right?"
 Joe replied, No, I owe you 30 cents and Bennie owes me 30 cents, so l am even.'
 The argument lasted more than a half hour and finally they decided to call all bets off and return to play another match, and pay up at the end of each hole.
 Three women, between 25 and S0, were playing on an outdoor course At every hole they would swap sill yer, and when the match was ended. one woman said, "I am s1.75 ahead, girls"
 The others made no comment. one looking as though she wanted to hit the winner with her golf club.
 The little midget game is the most thrilling betting game that has come to New Britain since parchesi made it's debut, before the Spanish American war. and no home is safe. The night may yet come when landlords will play tenants for the months rent. and the butcher play the housewives for a sirloin steak for dinner.

THE OBSER VER-
 Makes Random Observations ! On the City and Its People

Edward M. Pratt was lined up against Representative Thure Bengtson was a faux pas which proved to have the effect of boom- erang. When MT. Pratt denied un- equivocally that he would support Bill Quigley, it brought to the re- publican voters the realization of what was in the wind. This was followed by reports that several members of the regular republican organization in the city were lined up with Quigley. When the reports were called to the attention of the men concerned, they promptly, and. in some cases, indignantly denied their truth.
 The effort to railroad Representa- tive Thure Bengtson came to grief quickly and thoroughly because many republican voters felt af- fronted. It is obvious that the can didate was tempted to cash in on the magic name Quigley. But it was a forlorn hope.

Rome, Oct II (UP)-A strange phenomenon is occurring at lake near I.eprignano, 27 kilometers north of Rome. The lake formed last winter, but recently the water has been changing color and there have been frequent emissions of gas end hot steam. Rumblings were heard and then tremors felt, and the water finally disappeared entirely yesterday morning following shocks. Experts believed the phenomenon was con nected with the eruption of Vesuviua.
