The Soviet Celebrates.
Cincinnati Enquirer)

(Cnclnnau EnqulrerD
 The birth of Soviet rule has been celebrated One of the chief characteristics of the event was the color and magnitude of the display Of military force Moscow witnessed it's fourteenth anniversary parade of the new regime million persons march ed and cheered. They carried banners and devices denouncng capitalism and all capitalist nations They sang Red songs. The troops showed dsci- pne The achievements of Sovietism were pro- claimed and apotheosized
 It was the most impressive parade in the hls- tory of Communism: Infantry artillery, cavalry, armed factory workers, tanks and other demonStra- tions of Russas military power and strength spread through Red Square They cheered Lenin as they passed his tomb. Stalin reviewed the great parade Much was made of the depression in this and other capitastic countries The armaments Of other nations were defined agencies directed against the stability was contrasted with the dsaltegration of the outside world.
 The ar-reaching tenacles of Communism are with us No use to blink the fact Communism feedS and thrives upon conditions of distress and de- pression The cauldron boils A few leaders backed by a great military force and the enthusiasm of a comparatvely few millions of deluded industrallsS are making a bid for the control of the world. Our only remedy lies in strength. Strength com mands respect-weakness only contempt. But there lis a line of justice which must be followed or mere physical strength becomes a rope of sand. Perhaps the Moscow celebration may waken eaven of interest among people and in the halls of the American Congress

Growth of Liberalism.

(NeW York WOrld-TelegramJ
 The last year of the business depression has pro- duced a marked liberalization of American public opinion.
 Great industrial leaders and organizations such as the United States Chamber of Commerce are proposing reforms which would have seemed revo- lutionary to them year ago. And we find-or two weeks ago found-so rockbound Republican con- servative as George w. Wickersham vigorously in dorsing a Socialist candidate for Borough President of Manhattan. More we found a Hamilton Fish. head of the last Communist Investigating Commit tee of Congressman, deploring in debate with Nor man Thomas that the city lacked general reform ticket headed by an honest, upright courageous, double listed" such his debate adversary.
 The most notable and Illuminating and coura- geous of recent liberal revelations, however, was contained in an editorial in the Herad-Tribune of Monday regarding the triumphant demonstration by million people in Moscow on Saturday.
 Since Russia has relieved the world of the pres sure of it's former policy of world conquest and restricted itself to the upbuiding of Russia said the Herald Tribune, the world watches the strange Red phenomenon its material achievements and it's doctrinal backsdings with interest that almost approaches sympathy"
 Surely in these bold outcroppings of tolerance and curiosity are the makings of a greater national wisdom and security.

The Democratic First Division platform declareo in favor of more and larger Coast Guard cutters for Alaska waters and asked that they De Kept here the yea round. The need for more ana larger cutters n Alaska has long been OBVIOUS Likewise the need for having cutters at or near their stations the whole year through
 The lack of large Coast Guard cutters IS noteo in other waters as well those in Alaska me Port Angeles News is asking for cutter of the Haida class for it's City II complains that the Snohomish is not large enough for rescuing Jobs It recently said
 With the cutter Snohomsh bordering on obsolesence so far long sea resculng Jobs are concerned, and with the Coast Guard constructing cutters, might it not be well for this community to seek allocation of larger cutter such the Haida to the Port Angeles base.
 Selection of Port Angeles as base for the Snohomish was brought about by act of Congress following a probe of the great Clallam disaster. The Snohomsh and rehef boats have justified their presence and the appropriations spent them But the Snohomish has reached an age where long sea rescue jobs practically impossible due to her low coal bunker capacity She is due for major overhaul.

 greater need for two in the three hundred and fifty or four hundred miles stretch of water between Dixon Entrance and Yakutat-one based at Juneau and one at Ketchikan And there should be two large cutters in Westward waters

odds AGAINST Twin.
QUOTED AT 100 TO 5
British Insurance Broker
Calls Policy at That Price
Logical Risk.
by the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
LONDON.-It'S a hundred to five
that your next child won't be a
twin and you can take out an insur-
alce policy against it being twin with
q premium Of 20 per cent.
Douglas Cox, London insurance
broker, is an authority on insurance
against twins. He takes the view that
his policy is one of the most logical,
from an insurance mans point Of view
For pounds premium, paid six
months prior to the expectant birth,
policy is issuable paying G100 in the
event twins are born. Both children
must live "a hours under the provision
CT the policy.
Some premiums, depending upon the
frequency of twins in the ancestors OF
the prospective parents, might be E3.
Freak Bets Frowned On.
Freak bets, often reported as having
been placed through Lloyds, Cox says,
are generally but rumors, for the in
Spection bureau of the worlds largest
insurance organization frowns on such
policies and discourages their issuance.
Lloyds does not write any insurance
but only brings together the brokers
and those desiring insurance. Lloyd's
business during the last three centuries
has Deen principally mdIlHS, puJ VI
late other forms of insurance are bulk
ing larger in the annual turnover.
Bloyd's, whose principal marine busi-
ness now is mainly distributing infor-
nation concerning ships, shipping and
shippers, was started in the late seven
teenth century by Edward Lloyd, who
ran coffee house where mariners
gathered to spin their yarns Originally
the old timers came to Lloyd'S to meet
their pals and to swap information con-
corning trade routes and conditions in
general.
Blackboard Put Up.
Sensing a demand for the service,
Lloyd first put up a blackboard where
interesting items were written. Then
he established his LloydS Shipping
News, probably the second Oldest paper
in England, which has been superseded
by the gigantic Lloyd's Register, con-
tanning the records CT thousands Of
ships and daily bulletin.
Probably the hardest blow that hit
Lloyd'S members was the San Francisco
earthquake, while the sinking of the
palatial Titanic also caused a heavy
loss. Through Lloyds you can be as
sured against:
An increase in the budget, death in
the royal family, rain, snow, sleet, hail,
tornadoes and other unnatural occur
rences-tncluding twins.

President Hoover on his recent sea
trip aboard the U. s. s. Arizona was
able to hear his son speaking from

pears the Arizona had aboard a shcrt-
wave adapter receiver with a loud
speaker in President Hoover's cabin.
Gerhard improvised telephone attach
ment to the AriZona'S high-frequency
transmitter with microphone so the
Chief Executive could converse with his
son as well as hearing him clearly. The
President thanked Gerhard for con-
structing the apparatus. The President
also was able to speak with his grand
children.

GRID INJURIES HIT TWO COAST STARS

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. A. Injuries this season have blighted the careers of two of the Pacific coasts most brilliant football per formers.
 Hailed as potential All-Americas as the season got under way, both men have been forced into the ob- scurity of the sidelines. Phil Moffatt, flashy and speedy Stanford back and Bill Fischer, St Mary's guard, are the men.
 Coach Glenn Warner expected Moffatt to provide the margin .of victory against Southern Califor- nia He started the game, but the second play of the game forced him off the field with bad knee. Stanford then suffered it's first de- feat of the season.
 Fischer, called one of the finest guards ever developed at St. Mary's was a stalwart of the Gael line until he received a dislocatad shoulder which kept him off the gridiron for several games.
 He faced the Olympic club, first team to beat St. Mary's since Sep tember, 1880, but was taken out when his shoulder was again dis located.

 Still wandering in Europe, the old man sent his wife nine English pounds to keep her through the winter.
 Koudret Hanim, hi sslip of an octogenarian wife, wanted to use the gift to send his great-great- grandson to Ireland to fetch the wanderer home. All anger she had previously felt over his lengthy gallivantings, passed when she heard that his manager, Ahmed Moussa, had been murdered, and that Faro was alone in that dis tant land
 But sterling's catastrophe is hers: the nine pounds can no long CT purchase a ticket to Ireland. Nor can it buy much charcoal for her brazier.

More Rest" for Plants
 Brings Earlier Blooms

EVANSVILLE. O., Dec 4.-An experiment with black hoods" over chrysanthemums by florists here resulted in the blooms being ad- vanced from three to five weeks.
 Acting on suggestion from Ohio State University, the florists cov- ere dthe plants with black cloth three hours before sunset each day and kept the covers on until two hours after sunrise the next day.
 Giving the plants a larger period of rest each day brought about the earlier blooming, the florists said. The flowers were as large and richly covered as those cut in mid season.
