DUBLIN, Nov. II UNS0
Achievement of a freely func-
stroing Irish republic and or
ganization of a workers state on
the basis of the purest com.
nunism" is the professed and
paradoxical aim of Irish revo
iutionaries as expressed to me by
some of their leaders.
At two different private meet
ings with leaders of. the move
ment for Irish independence I
was left with few illusions re-
Rarding the future of Ireland
In the event that independence
Of England is achieved.
AT these meeting I talked with
such insurgents as Mrs. ANNE
Frances Despard, 87-year-old sis
ter of the late Earl Of YpreS,
''the grand old lady Of the
cause; Helena Molony, who has
s'done her Bit in Mountjoy
prison; Mrs. Peadar O'Donneu,
wife of the noted Irish author;
Mrs. Sean MacBride and Madame
Maud Come MacBride, mother
Of Sean MacBride and wife of
Major John MacBride, executed
after the Easter rebellion Of 1915.
Some Of these women have been
active in the independence move
IT1ent for 40 years.
Such masculine leaders as Sean
MacBride, Frank Ryan, Peadar
O,Donnell and Sean Hayes are
ION the rum" certain that their
capture would mean confinement,
probable death.
But they have left behind them
their women folk, apparently the
strongest motivating force Of the
rebellion. They represent and
speak not only for the Irish re-
publican army but also for the
Peoples Rights Association, or
the mothers" as its members
are called, and the newly formed
Eaor Fire.
The latter organization which
held it's congress here on Sep
tember 26 and u is said in
many quarters to have been the
incentive for the governments

You can't 60 to sleep until your
nerves are at rest-on the train or
in your own bed at home. Sheer
WEAKNESS often brings some little
nerve-nagging ache or pain. Slight as
it is, it can spoil your nights rest.
That's the time to remember
Bayer Aspirin. Take one tablet
and go to sleep.
It always worksl If you doubt it,
you haven't tried it. If you think
there's the least harm in it, you
haven't asked your doctor. Bayer
Aspirin is quite harmless. 1t does not
depress the heart. 1t does not upset
the stomach. 1t does nothing except
stop the pain. So take it as often as it
can spare you an uncomfortable hour.

to President Olaya's gesture. A few

The universal custom Of exchanging
Christmas and New Year greetings gave
opportunity last week to appreciate the
tremendous development of wireless and
postal communications between the
United States and the Latin American
countries.
BY radio, cable, wireless telephone,
airnail and regular mail cordial mes
sages of good will were exchanged
among friends at both extremes Of the
hemisphere. The cable company had
special rates for New Year greetings to
and from all Latin American countries.
Airmau was overwhelmed with letters
and postal cards of salutation. The
radio telephone service to Buenos Aires,
Rio, Santiago, Montevideo, Mexico City
and Havana also announced special
rate for New Year calls to these most
important Latin American capitals.
Nineteen thirty has been outstanding
among recent years in the development
of inter american means of commune
cation. In the short period Of II months
air and radio communications between
North and South America have made
extraordinary gains. A complete aerial
network, the longest in the world, circles
the whole continent and has shortened
distances from days and weeks to hours.
Radio unites practically all the princi-
pal capitals of the New World, and the
most populous of them are in direct
telephone communication with the
cities of the United States.
A few years ago all this seemed I'M
possible The realization of such Won
ders affords, indeed, the best encour-
agement that the pan-American cause
could have at the beginning Of q new

Crudely stated, jobs.
The engineer is DR.. Arthur D. Little, who, on
January 9, at New York, will receive from the
five great chemical societies the highest honor
they bestow, the Perkin Medal for outstanding
accomplishment in the realm of chemistry.
His viewpoints command the interest Of the
interviewer for two reasons:
First, chemistry, because of its service to agrt-
culture, metallurgy manufacture and business
generally, Is today perhaps the greatest creator
OF real wealth in the world.
Second, DR.. Little brings to his reasoning the
conclusions of varied genius AS cnemlca1

"Disregarding the relation of science to all
the other facts of existence" says Dr. Little,
every one should bear in mind its significance
as the most prolific creator of new jobs.
"Our prosperity during the period which pre-
coded the present recession was due largely 70

by new industries that came into being as re-

meet more and more stringent world competition
in trade. We shall have to eliminate wastes and
make the most of our raw materials.

Club and secretary of the University
Labor Federation, became lecturer in
industrial law and now acts as his ia

Suicide for Insurance
Problem in France

It took q long time and much discus
sion to fix the terms Of the French law
On life insurance in case Of suicide. Some
companies pleaded that the cases OF
business men In great dimculty con-
tracing a life insurance, then commit
ting suicide to get out Of an impossible
life while leaving their family provided
for, were quite frequent and should not
be accepted, either from a moral or
business point Of view The other side
answered that it took more desperation
and blind courage to commit suicide
than the companies seemed to think,
that those who will face 1t know also
how to disguise their death and make
1t look like a real accident-as the
Spanish novelist, Blasco IbaneZ, showed
in one of his best South American short
storieS-and that the fact OF putting
voluntarily an end to ones life was gen.
orally the sign of crisis and mental
paroxysm such as could be compared to
any mortal accident. Still, the law
could not be said to favor or even toll
crate an immoral practice, so 1t was
worded wisely and guardedly, stating
basically that life insurance could not
apply in case of voluntary death, but
that the company would only pay the
benefciaries the total premiums already
received. Then, in the case of clause
in the insurance contract accepting sui
eide, the bonus shall not be paid If the
suicide occurs before two years follow
ing the signing Of the contract. Finally,
the law stipulates that it Is for the
company to establish the proof of VOL
untary death and for the beneficiary to
establish that Of accident or temporary
insanity.

Hawaii Continues
Republican Bulwark

While most of the States recorded
Democratic gains, Hawaii'S territorial
election showed that this western out
post" continues to be a bulwark of Re-
publicanism. Both the legislative and
city and county elections on November
4 put into Office an overwhelming ma
jority of Republicans. OF the fifteen
members CT the Senate only one is a
Democrat, William H. Heen of Oahu,
site Of the capital city of Honolulu. OF
the thirty members of the lower house
two only are Democrats, both of them
also being from Oahu. In Honolulu
itself the Democratic mayor has been
defeated and a Republican elected,
and Republican gains were made
elsewhere in the city elections here
and the county elections on other
islands. Honolulu Is the only incor-
porated city, Curiously enough, though
the Democrats sustained a severe de-
feat, their vote ran higher than expect
ed and, in fact, for many positions it
was remarkably close to the vote given
Republican winners. Delegate Victor S.
K. Houston was reelected to Congress,
where he is HawaiiS only representa-
tive, but his Democratic opponent, l..
L. McCandleSS, gave him a rather close
race. Hawaiis dependency on the sugar
tariff and consequent adherence to
Republican tariff principles Is one of
the outstanding reasons why the terri
tory Is chemically Republican. Only in
frequently have Democrats gained con-
troll of city government here and only
once in thirty years has q Democrat
been elected to Congress.

say a great deal depends upon the
particular girl. We have some college
girls who do well, but with a great
many our experience has not been

lem of work habits and attitudes. You
see, the girl who has come out OF high
school and started in our plant has
spent the four years learning our bust
ness, while the college girl has spent
these years learning other things and
leading another kind of life. So 1t is
pretty hard for her to come in here

seem to her very simple operations
and perhaps be compelled 70 take in'
structions from girl who has never
