herself and kept herself looking fine
and clean.
Now one morning Mrs. Coal was
missing. Poor Joan did not know
what to do.
She looked in the coal box and
there was no Mrs. Coal. She called
through the house
Mrs Coal, Mrs. Coal" and then
she burst out crying.
Never before had she called for
Mrs. Coal that from somewhere or
other the sound had not come Of:
"Me-ow, meow, meow"
But this time not sound came.
"Where has Mrs. Coal gone. Where
could she have gomez" asked Joan Of
everyone.
But no one had seen Mrs. Coal all
day.
Joan spent a wretched time. What
could have happened? She knew Mrs.
Coal would not want to worry her,
and so that was why she had always
come to Joan when she called.
Besides Mrs. Coal loved her little
mistress and how she would purr
when she was stroked! Joan kept
thinking now Of all these things as
she looked, in vain, for Mrs. Coal. q
1t was getting late afternoon when
Joan was eating her supper. Nothing
tasted very good and she was feeling
| so mournful. AS rule Mrs. Coal had
come to sit by her side during supper
time, and had always had a nice
bowl of warm milk.
Meow, meow" came little
sound.
Joan gave one cry Of gladness.
And what do you suppose had hap

Mrs. Coal was behind the closet
door of the dining-room and with

Oh, how happy Joan was, and Mrs.
Coal was so happy too.

Earth and Moon

The length of the earth's axis Is
about 1900 miles, while the diameter
of the moon is about 2,16O miles. The
earth's surface Is about 1871 times as
great as the moons; it's volume or
bulk is nearly so times larger; and,
owing to its greater density, the mass
or actual amount of matter contained
in the earth Is about 81 times greater
than that Of the moon.

Charles A. Beard, Noted Historian, Believes New Era Is at Hand Which Will Demand Best of This Nation
Written for the United Press)

New Milford, Conn, Oct 5. (UP) We are in the midst of trends so plain that no student of Amer ican life can fail to see them. One is the steady growth of corporate enterprise, the concentration of business wealth in the hands of immense combinations. On this point the statistics of our econo- mists are indubitable as the hills. The second trend is the extention of federal, state and municipal undertakings in the economic field- regultion, planning and enterprises designed to create better standards of living.
 In other words we are at the close of the age in which business can infiate, expand, float dubious issues of stocks and bonds, gather up the savings of the multitude, cut melons and then burst, leaving millions of men and women who tended its wheels to shift for themselves, to sink to degradation, if not starvation.
 Our far-sighted economic lead CTS, such as Gerard Swope of the General Electric company, see the handwriting on the wall and are prepared to accept the new re- responsibilities.
 But standing in the way of pru- dent planning are the antitrust acts designed to force the very kind of disastrous and uncontrol- led competition which produces in- fiation and collapse. If there is to be planning in industry, then these laws must be repealed.
 But is it conceivable that the people of the United States will allow the corporation managers an absolutely free hand to consolidate merge and stabilize prices? No one familiar with American politics can answer in the affirmative. Ii the antitrust laws are to be re pealed, then other measures will be substituted. No single industry like the electrical industry, can be exempted from the law. The legis- lation must be general and in- evitably based upon another sys- tenn of economy than that incor- porated in the Sherman and Clay ton acts.
 It will accept planning in indus try as distinguished from enforced competition and will provide the outlines within which planned economy can proceed and the measures of control necessary to protect public interest. Here then seems to be the unacceptable issue the irrepressible conflict and the solution of the contradictions which confront us will call for the best talent the country can afford Are we equal to it? No one can spend years studying the growth of this nation from a few strag- gling colonies on the Atlantic sea- ] board to its present proportions
 without believing that it is cap. able of heroic work. Whatever its
 faults, 1t is not defeatist 1T

 Attorney J. Gregory Lynch and Att torney Joseph Smith was appointed to canvass the state bar members on the question.
 Cards will be sent out first to learn whether the state bar desires to vote on the question. If the re- sponse is in the affirmative major ity, a second set of cards will be sent out to have the state mem bers vote on repeal, modification or have the law remain as is. This is the same system that the Amer ican Bar Association followed in getting expressions of individual members throughout the country. Attorney Cassidy in suggesting the local action stated that the re- cent announcement of the Amer ican Bar showed that lawyers throughout the country by a vote of practically to 1 desired repeal of the 18th amendment.

Lisbon, Oct 5.-CUP)-The Por- tuguese republic to-day celebrated it's 21st anniversary. On october 5, 1910, after a revolution which lasted three days, young Don Manuel II left the throne and the republic was proclaimed through out the nation.
 To-day was an official holiday, but the country's celebrations were by no means comparable to those of the 14th of July in France or the 4th of July in the United States. President Antonio Car mona received the customary pro- tocolar telegrams and cables from foreign powers, civil and military authorities of Portugal, and a few other organizations. Many en- thusiastic republicans did not care to celebrate the day because the military dictatorship is still in power, while among the monarch ists, although they are in the min ority, still exist, there was no joy in recalling the day in which the House of Braganca lost its throne.

SUPREME COURT
 OF UNITED STATES
 CONFINES TO-DAY
Realignment Apparent in Last Session Expected to Be More Pronounced Than Ever

Washington, Oct 5-(UP)-Re- converting to begin it's 142nd year of deliberations, the supreme court of the United States today was a center of perhaps greater public interest than on any similar acca- sion in recent years.
 Lawyers, statesmen, politicians, and business men, are looking for ward to a session which may ex- plain a seeming realignment of the court.
 This realignment became appar- ent last session.
 Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes and Louis D. Brandies, who had achieved a reputation as a vigorous dissenting Liberal" minority, found that more frequently than not their jority.
 The change was brought about by the addition to the courts per- and later of Justice Owen D. F. Roberts. Both ascended the ebench late in the 1929 term.
 Joined with the votes of Holmes, "the grand old man" of the bench, bTdHueIS, anu, dlulOSI dlWdyS, J uS- tice Harlan Fiske Stone, a ma jority was formed. that wrote opin- ions decidedly Liberal" on many subjects.
 For the coming term, many cases have been brought up for review. which present thoroughly bedat- able questions of personal rights and state powers. Cases of these types offer the greatest chance for dissension among the jurists.
 From Texas hayes come cese under which American citizens of Mexican extraction ask the court to stop racial discrimination in selections for jury service and race segregation in the public schools. Negroes in the same state have asked to be heard on their right to vote in the democratic prima- ries.
 Tax laws imposing special as- sessments on chain stores in sev- eral states will be reviewed. One of last years most sharply divided opinions was written about such q statute enacted In Indiana.
 The validity of laws enacted to control oil production in Califor- mia and Oklahoma also will be submitted.
 The court has had presented tc 1t 400 cases for review thus far.

Portugal Observes Fist Anniversary
 In Republic Ranks
Don Manuel II Left Throne in l9l0-Reign of Ensuing
 Presidents Brief and Stormy

have been full of political trouble and turmoil; only one president ol the republic in this interval has succeeded in serving his entire term of office; presidential elections havs been few, and the process of rev olution or military coups d'etat and assassination have been the most commonly employed to bring new president into office.
 The country now is ruled by a military dictatorship, with General Antonio oscar De Fragoso Car mona occupying the presidency oi the republic, and the council o1 ministers headed by General Dom- ingos De Oliveira, who is premier But the most important member ot the entire government is Dr Oliveira Salazar, the minister of finances. Cabinet changes have been frequent since the dictator ship came into power on May 2S 1926, but Salazar has been contin- uously in office three years.
 The dictatorship makes no at- tempt to hide the fact its main strength lies in the army and navy but the burden which the armed forces impose upon the country's taxpayers often hai been exagger- ated in the foreign press. Many writers have casually calculated that 80 per cent of the national ex- penditures are for the armed corps, but as a matter of fact the pro- portion is roughly 30 per cent of the national expenses, while if the amount annually spent on the pub lie debt services is excluded from the calculations, then the military expenditure represents rough ;ly 26 per cent.
 The total amount of these ex- penditures according to the 1881 budget follows:
 Army 320,457 contos
 Navy 161.498 contos
 Public safety expenditures in the ministry of the interior, 103,982 contos.
