Club Meeting
 at the YMCA
Several Speakers Discuss
 ed Many Important Sub- iects Last Night

One of the finest club meetings ever to be held at the central Y. M. c. A. occurred last evening when pr Robert Seneca Smith of Yale Divinity school, Albert R. Klemer of the national council Y. M. C. As in New York. and F. A. Stanley, state secretary Y. M. c. As. met with a group of 75 young men to talk over the young mems club movement which is growing so rap idly in the local Y. M. c. A. Ac- cording to MT Klemer, Waterbury is leading cities of its own class In both number and the qualities or the clubs, F. A. Stanley of New Ha- ven said that the whole state of Connecticut is looking to Waterbury for leadership in the club line.
 In a very friendly and informal way, Dr Smith talked to the young men concerning their club life and put himself in the place of a strang- CT wandering through Waterbury alone and who suddenly zbecames linked up with one of the young mems clubs at the central Y. pr Smith then went on to show the consequent development of the young stranger as well as the ex- pansion of the club due to his ex- pression of loyalty to the ideals set forth by the club. Going back nine- teen centuries ago, pr Smith com pared the present day club to a club formed by the greatest man Ill all history. Jesus who gathered to- gether some twelve men and went
 about spreading an influence for good. This club, too. had its all round program, which was quite similar to the present day club pro- gram. They had their spiritua! de- yelopment and also a socfal, pnysi- cal and educational training.
 At the close of Dr Smiths talk,
 Albert R. Klemer conducted a dis
 cussion in which he brought out
 out both strength and weaknesses of the local club programs ana
 made list of each on the black
 board so that each club represented
 at the meeting could evaluate it. self. Many of the club members themselves took part in this dis cussion. and additional discussions will occur in both inter-club coun- eli and social committee at their
 respective meetings within the next two weeks.

YALE TAP DAY.
 MAY BE HOLDING ITS VALEDICTORY
Many Recent Attacks Upon This Ancient Ceremony May Result in It's Aban- d0nment

New Haven, Conn, May 14-(UP) Yale juniors and senior secret society men will gather under the elms of the old campus at dusk to- day for what may be the final en- actment of a time-hallowed cere- mony--tap day.
 There was widespread belief to- day that tap day-which some con- slider snobbish and some consider Yale's most colorful and distinc- tive social activity--will succumb to the recent attacks from under graduates and graduates.
 Senior societies are taken much less seriously than they were 20 or even 10 years ago." said Dean Clar- ence w. Wendell of Yale college. personally do not see the harm in tap day but a very substantial group of students and alumni think 1t Is demoralizing factor in the life of the college"
 Tap day is the day each spring on which the juniors are herded on the old campus so the senior society men can "tap" the men they have chosen for membership in skull and bones, scroll and key, Elihu club and wolf's head. Recently the Yale Alumni weekly has attacked the ceremony and predicted the insti- tuition would pass when the house plan became effective. The Hark- ness Hoot, independent periodical edited by two seniors, joined in the attack.

Haze that lifted from a gravel
pit near Twenty-hrst and Montcalm

curtain on a dance Of nymphs-the

act.
Sergeant Arthur Hueber and
members Of his cruising squad were
the audience at the open-air the

three men probably will pay before
the show is over at police head
quarters.
Hueber noticed the trio and or

him to the scene. 1t appeared from
distance that two men were pre-
pairing to hurl woman into the pit.

BORAH RETURNS

President and Aids Squirm

Rolls Up Sleeves.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. !. = Every
day brings its worry for the powers
in Washington. Until this weeks
Saturday Evening Post was issued.
it was Calvin Coolidge. Now that
he has eliminated himself, it is
Senator william E. Borah who is
drawing the administrations scowls.
The senator, back east after a
summers grazing in the western
grassroots, is ready to resume his
place at the head Of the most
feared one-man bloc in congress.
Those close to Mr.. Hoover do
not regard Borah as serious presi-
Dental competition-and neither
does the senator. What they fear
from Borah is the 200-word state
ments which he will issue from time
to time and the five-minute speeches
which he will make from his desk
in the rear of the senate chamber
next winter.
Ready for Firing Line
He has been getting ideas all
summer out in Idaho and now he
is ready to stay here through the
most turbulent session in many
congresses and throw his deadly
harpoon at the most critical times.
Borah generally is discounted as
serious presidential possibility.
Every four years a "Borah boom"
starts. usually when Washington
correspondents are hard-pressed for
facts and ideas. The Senator al
ways smiles amiably at such times.
He doesn't mind the advertising, but
he has no illusions.
The key to Borah is that he is not
a political organization, but a per-
sonality, one of the dominant polit-
ical personalities in public life,
whose personal views rank abroad
second only to those of the Presi-
dent.
Ready for Action
This winter, he is prepared to
throw this personality into the
momentous issues confronting the
government, not always but often in
opposition to Mr.. Hoover. He is pre-
pairing to go even farther than the
President in pressing disarmament.
He will support Mr.. Hoover's
moratorium proposal when the
qquestion of ratification comes up in
the senate.
On the tax issue, Borah intends
to press for throwing heavier
share of the burden on the large
incomes and inheritances. He in
tends to seek radical alteration in
the government farm policy, renew

During the month of August In
dianapolis ranked 14th among
cities reporting volume of build
ing permits. Permits ran we'll over
a million dollars. while such cities
as st. Louis, Baltimore, Pitts
burgh and Minneapolis were far
behind lis. Local building during
August, 1881, showed about
third increase over the same
month of 1880.
Here are several examples of the
drop in commodity prices. In June
1929 Electrolytic Copper was 17.8
cents per pound and in June 1881
it was 80 cents (now around z
cents) a drop of almost COPPER
Cent. Wheat is 50-Per Cent of
last year and crude oil dropped
about 75-Per Cent.

Sam r. McKelvie, publisher of the
Nebraska Farmer and an au-
thority on the agricultural situa-
ton, says that the farmer can
break even on 30-cent wheat. He
also says that the farmer who is
doing his own work with modern
machinery is in much better
shape today than he was during
the first postwar depression that
hit agriculture in 1920-2l.
With all the talk about wheat
prices, it is interesting to note
that wheat represents only 5-Per
Cent of the total National farm
income. Most farmers in this Sec
ton merely use wheat as a rota-
ton crop to rebuild the soil and
not particularly for income pur-
poses.
