Phosphorescence.

What is commonly referred to as
the phosphorescence of the sea has
nothing 70 do with the substance that
goes into the manufacture of matches,
despite a remarkable resemblance and
an obvious derivation Of name.
Luminescence, the name preferred by
recent Investigators, Is q more appropri-
ate term. The light Is largely the re-
suit OF the oxidizing or burning Of mi
mute particles Of dead animal and veg
etable matter, the oxygen being derived
from small amounts dissolved in SEQ

WAS THE QUESTION INSULTING

IT is TO BE HOPED that Representative
! Garner Of Texas was speaking the truth
when he recently said in an interview that
the democrats OF congress would support
President Hoover in anything they deemed
would be for 4 c good of the country. 1t is
generally admitted that Garner will be the
next Speaker Of the House, with the demo-
Gratis i'll control Asked as to his party's
future support Of President Hoover and his
policies, Congressman Garner said, III part:
1T is taking no chance to prophecy
that they (the democrats) will go along with
the President SO far as the prosperity and
the good faith Of the country warrant
I'm other words, | do not anticipate
that any democrat will oppose measure
plainly necessary for the industrial health
of our people,
Mr.. Garner, however, reserved the priv
ilege to his party of Judging what is best
for the country and to disagree with the
said that it is insulting to imply that "our
Representatives in congress are capable of
sacrificing the welfare of the country to
political eXpediency.'
Looking at the implication from one
angle it is somewhat insulting to think any
party would be swayed by anything but the
good Of the country, but it is well known
that parties and politicians are often
strongly influenced by political expediency,
even to the detriment Of the nation. Thus
lit is not 50 strange that Congressman Gar
Iner should have been asked that question.
Let us hope that our statesmen in Wash
ington have reached that high standard of
integrity where they will be swayed only
by consideration of their country welfare.

IN THE MATTER OF FRIENDSHIP.

\ LII that can be expected of any man is
"A to make the best use Of the things that
are within his power Only the contented
man is rich so we must look for the things
that bring contentment and first Of these
is to find a friend; and if you find two
friends you are indeed lucky man; and if
you find three friends-real friends-then
you are rich and powerful man. In pros
perity it is easy to find friend, but III adj
versity it is most difficult Of all things. No
matter how small a mans means may be,
if he gives of what he has to his friend it is
the same as if it was great amount. A
mans pleasures are insured by sharing
them with friend and his griefs are re-
duced by securing the sympathy of a
friend. The counsel of a friend is the best
counsel because it will be true advice; for,
when received from mere acquaintance,
it may be so filled with flattery that its
value will be destroyed, and faithful and
true counsel rarely comes excepting from
the true friend. 1t is said that in youth we
have visions and in old age dreams, and the

a TOOL THE DEVIL WANTS TO KEEP

TT was once announced that the Devil was
! going out Of business and would offer all
of his tools for sale to anyone who would
pay the price On the night of the sale they
were all attractively displayed, and bad
looking lot they were
Malice, hatred, envy, jealousy, sensual
ity deceit and all other implements of evil
were attractively spread out, each one
marked with its price. Apart from the rest
lay harmless looking wedge-shaped tool
much worn-and priced much higher than
any of the others.
Someone asked the Devil what it was.
''That's Encouragement" was the re
ply.
"Why have you priced it-so high2'
Because" replied the Devil, lit is
more useful to me than any OF the others.

consciousness with that when could not
get near him with any Of the others and
when once inside | can use him in whatever
way suits me best. 1t is much worn because
I've used it on nearly everyone and very few
know it belongs to me-"
1t hardly need be added that the Devil s
price for Encouragement was so high 1t was
never sold.
He still owns it-and is still using it.
Is he using it in your business now that
summer is over and most all Of us have our
day? Let S forget this tool and get to work.
The business is here if we work for it. Will
you get yours or will you let the people Of
some other city get all the trade. 1t you are
wise you will trade at home and you will
prosper. Trade away from home and you
will go down When businessman shops
out of town it makes people afraid of his
merchandise The first thing your customer
will think Of is that your merchandise is not
what it should be or you would trade at

the building of homes at easier rates and
under better conditions. This newspaper
spoke of the President s plan some weeks
ago and it is gratifying to see that it is now
being put in operation. Anything that
will encourage BODYBUILDING will cause a
greater use of lumber and that affects fav-
orably all of the lumber producing districts.
However, this hoped for improvement
is something for the future While there
may be some salaried people who are in a
position to build homes, heavy percentage
of those who labor will not be able to think
of building home until they again have
employment That, of course, will come in

ceremony.
At dawn the cavalcade would be
ready to start Washington moupted or
his favorite hunter, Blueskin, fiery
animal of great endurance, dark iron

the fashionable costume Of the times
a blue coat, scarlet waist coat, buck

thong
Billy, who was Washington's body
servant during hte war, rode with the
hounds, mounted on Chinkling, a
French huntsman's horn slung across
his shoulders, riding fearlessly through
brake and tangled wood, in style
which would strike terror to the heart
Of most modern riders.
Washington took great pride in his
hounds and had his pack so critically
drafted as to speed and bottom, that

careful register in which could be found
the names, ages and marks of each.

descendants of the renowned stable,
which included the fiery Blueskin, the
famous full blooded Arabian, Magnol-
ia. Ajax. Valiant, and Chinkling. Some
of the hounds were named Vulcan,
Ringwood. Singer, True Love, Music,
Sweetlips, Forester, and lockwood
Following these early morning hunts,
the party would return to Mt. Yer
non for dinner, usually finding addi-
tional guests who had arrived from
neighboring estates to learn the re-
suit of the hunt and to enjoy the af-
ternoon's gayety.
A bounteous dinner was served, al
ter which some of the guests would
play loo. the preferred game OF the
times, others would gather about the
harpsichord, and with the accompani-
ment of lutte and violin, raise their
voices in pleasing choruses.
After supper which was served about
8 or 10 o'clock there was usually dane
ing-the minuet, and jolly country
dances which the young people espec-
tally enjoyed AS all rose early for
the hunting. the hour of retirement
was not late.
All sports were suspended during the
the war, and hunting was never re-
vived at Mt Vernon on its old-time
scale In l785. Lafayette presented
Washington with pack of hounds
but increasing private and public duties
caused him to give up such pleasure.

GENERAL WASHINGTON,
HOST AND HUNTSMAN

That General George Washington
was an enthusiastic huntsman is evil
denced in many of his own writings
and letters. He was superb horse
man. Many contemporaries in their
writings noted his splendid appearance
on horseback. Lafayette, in describing
him in letter home, spoke of him as
the most magnificent figure he had
ever beheld. when mounted on his
white charger.
General Washington loved his horses
and his dogs, and enjoyed the keen
sport and excitement of the chase. In
fact, he joined in hunting and all
sports and games more for this reason
than for honors or success.
He was in the habit of hunting three
times week If the weather was fav-
orable During the hunting season,
Mount Vernon entertained many sprt~
ing guests from the neighboring ests,sess,
from Maryland and elsewhere. These
guests arrived, often with their own
retinues of servants, their own mounts,
and remained for visits, not of days
but of weeks. during which time they
were entertained royalty in the good
old style.
Breakfast was served at candIeIight,
the table groaning with the bounty
of delectable southern dishes Wash
ington himself, however, rarely par
took Of anything but Indian corn cakes
and milk. He often asked the blessing

LACK OF WORLD ECONOMIC COOP
GRAFTON MAKES FAT YEARS LEAN.

THE economic history of mankind may be
divided into two periods-the period Of
paucity, and the period Of plenty. Paucity
permitted competition. Plenty compels CO.
operation.
Suppose man is drowning III shallow
water II he clutches at his rescuer's throat,
it is not fatal, for the rescuer may stand up
and drag the frightened man to safety But
if the desperate swimmer is in deep water
he must help his rescuer or they will both
drown
When the world had too little IN goods
and the means of production, competition
was perhaps inevitable The means Of
social contact were few, for the making and
using Of things were local Since there was
no Standardization in the production and
consumption of goods, there was diversity
in social habit, in political theory, and in the
thought entertained as to the means Of
achieving national ambitions. The cement
Of commerce and of credit was thin and
weak. Men had different PHILOSOPHERS, diff
ferent gods, different conceptions Of biologi-
cal life itself For each community to pro-
tect what it had and to get more of it was
the natural dictate
But now we are in different dispersal
ton. We have not too little, but too much
Our industrial collapses ensue not upon
failures of crops, but upon overabundance.
We are threatened not with the niggardli-
ness Of nature, but with the crushing weight
of mans own industry. Nations are habit
uated to the exchange of goods, and are
committed to the sharing of economic con-
fidence. We are in deep water, with our
arms interlocked
Our present difficulty is that the theory
of rivalry economic, religious, political,
lcultural survives perniciously into the new
condition which requires mutual helpful
mess. Paradoxically paucity of knowledge
and of wealth permitted of waste, while
plethora necessitates conservation. We may
or may not be too proud to fight, but we are

FEDERAL EMPLOYEES IN WASHING

that federal workers should wherever pos

those who can qualify and are not now en-
ployed. High union labor officials have
taken similar stand. Now the organized

reduced have, in effect had an increase in
wages because of the greater purchasing
power Of the dollar. In this time of so
much unemployment, it is not unreasonable

ADVANCE IN BONDS
CARRIED FURTHER
Sharp Upturn in Railroad List
Is Feature Of
Session.
BY r. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November Bonds
continued their advance today in active
trading. The rise was accompanied for
the first time in the current move
by sharp upturn in railroad bonds
This reflected active strength in car
rier stocks and the spreading of opti-
mistic sentiment to include the securi-
ties OF Institutional concerns.
Speculative rails, such as Erie SIS
Missouri-Pacific SIS. Frisco AVS, St
Paul SIS. Allegheny SIS, Nickel. Plate
Avs, Southern Railway 6l2s, Wabash
AIS. Western Maryland As and Chi
cago &c Northwestern Az gained about
point at the opening and extended
this to points or more before the
close.
In the high-grade rails, Atchison
general as advanced to new high on
the recovery. Norfolk &c Western Is
Great Northern rs, Union Pacific flrst
Is, West Shore Is and Northern Pacific
As gained a point or more. MoAt oi
these issues were 4 to points above
their recent low prices. Some of the
junior rail bonds-for instance, st. Paul
Observation-Disclosures selling at double
their lowest prices Of the year.
Domestic industrials were pushed up
rapidly, especially the oils. Texas Cor
poration SIS advanced to a new top on
the recovery, around SO. Substantial
gains were made by Sinclair rs, Phillips
Petroleum 5l4s, Houston Oil 51as. Shell
Union SIS and Skelly Oil SIPS. A long
list of industrial issues touched new
high prices for the recovery, most OF
them up / to 3 points on the day.
High-grade utility issues, prime mu-
| nicipals and United States Government
bonds were more conservatively marked
up, gains ranging from fractions to
about point. The market tended to-
ward lower range of money rates
with 90-day time loans offlcially quoted
at 3h to 81 per cent, but with many
! loans being placed unofflcially around
per cent.
Foreign dollar bonds were subjected
to some prof1t-taking, but the general
undertone was firm. Argentine IS were
again the spectacular feature, advanc-
ing l to 3 points. This left the IS close
to 70, or exactly double their low prices
of 1881. There was a slight reaction In
them near the close.
German dollar issues were steady
after touching a new top on the move
, in early trading. British SIS were
| firm. Other Europeans were little
changed. japanese issues were unset
tied by the increasing anxiety over the
Manchurian situation.
