CAPPER SEES SPEEDY
RECOVERY OF BUSINESS
Holds Rising Prices of Grain and
Oil Are Forerunner of Nor

By the Associated Press.
WICHITA, Kans., November 6.-Be-
lief that the rising prices in grain and
oil are the forerunners OF speedy re-
turn to normal business conditions was
expressed here yesterday by Senator
Arthur Capper of Kansas.
His view, he said, was based on the
CLOSING of the gaps of inequality" be-
tween agriculture and Eastern indus
tries through rising grain and oil prices.
The East, too, is beginning to realize
1t can't have permanent prosperity
without equal prosperity in the West"

NEW YORK, November (P.-
Americas march maestro-John Philip
Sousa-celebrated his Seventy-Seventh
birthday anniversary today.
It was not known how he intended to
observe the day, but it certainly wasn't
to be writing a commemorative march.
He decided that back in 1927, when
he celebrated his golden jubilee year.
At that time the march king was
pressed by friends to compose q piece
to mark the event. 1t was the first
time he said, II can't"
ASK me-" said the famous band
master, ito write a march on any other
theme and I will go to it, regardless of
what the public may think of it when
it sounds forth. But I simply can't
write march for my personal
glorification.
Il wrote a wedding march in war
time in answer to the protest against
using Wagner's or Mendelssohn's When
ever my Imagination was grasped by an
event or person 1 wrote march. But
I can't write a march on the an
niversaries of John Philip Sousa,

uncomfortable feeling of intrusion that man gets when he goes shop ping with his wife and she drags him into the ladies apparel depart ment where he sits, shyly looking around to make sure no one is look ing. And feeling as though you'd like to grab your hat and run. The dear old Adams apple works overtime as you gulp and swallow and wonder what you'll say if some one asks you what you're doing there.
 But whatever the personal reac- tion to such scenes, the fact is that scores of busy society dowagers have replicas of themselves tucked away like cards in a filing system, so that they will not have to show up for fittings.

Freemen's Meeting
 Poorly Attended
Interest Wanes in Annual Gathering Figures ii
 Budget Adopted With Few Changes

Interest in the annual freeman's meeting for the purpose of making up the borough budget for the year is evidently in the wane for last night less than 100 citizens gathered in the Gem Opera house to consider the figures as recommended by the board of warden and burgesses. The meeting was also devoid of argu- ments and wrangling that has feat ured these sessions in years past, The figures as proposed by the bor- ough board for consideration were adopted with but a few changes. These changes did not effect the az gregate and the tax rate will remain at the same figure as last year, ~ mills on the dollar, 20 mills on Dis trict No. 1, and mills on the list of District No. 2. This will raise the sum of s4SS.S43.s6. The esti- mated income is rated at $12,000 from personal tax, $14,500 from State bank tax, $1,500, from rent for the borough lot on Maple street and $2O0 for rent of the Union City Fire House, making total of $517,O43.86. The items changed. were the charity appropriation of $65,000 asked for which was cut to $61,500. The $1,5OO is to be used to establish a new accounting system. Borough auditor, Samuel I. Lyons had prev iously called the freemen's attention; to the need of a new system of ac- counting so that at the end of each month the borough would know just where it stood. Robert Cleary, a member of the charity board stated that he did not see how the depart. ment appropriation could be cut as it was figured that the charity de- partment would have to have this sum to carry on with Richard, Dur kin in discussing the matter stated that it didn't seem to make any dif- ference whether the money was ap- propriated or not 1t would be spent just the same. MT Cleary stated that he would rather see the town hall expense budget cut.
 It was also decided to cut the town hall expense item $500. Thls sm to be used for maps. Warden Green explained that due to the un-. situation it has been necessary to plan much additional work. This made extra work in maps and figures by the department and the ap- of $1,500 asked for in the original budget was not enough. Due to the fact that the freemen voted at the annual borough election to increase the salary of the warden from $200 to $1,000 a year. the ad- amount was taken from the fund cutting this item as figured in the original budget from $2,5S3.77 to $1,782.77. An ap- of $1,0O0 was also made by the freemen to cover expenses incurred through the Unemploy- ment committee of the borough. The meeting was one of the shortest held by the freeman in many years, the session lasting about 40 minutes. This was made possible by the con- of the figures in groups instead of item by item.
 To Prepare Protest
 Members of the Polish-American Club of Union City have called a mass meeting of Polish residents to be held tonight at o'clock in Pol ish Military hall for the purpose of protesting to the board of warden and burgesses against what they claim was harsh treatment of a member of their race.

A totem is sacred object, often the image of an animal or a man and a totem pole is tree trunk
 The totem pole Indians include the Haida, the kwadiutl and the Tsimshian tribes. They live in large, oblong houses. Most of their food is obtained from the ocean or from rivers which flow into it.
 Before each house. sometimes close against the front wall. is totem pole. The totem poles are apt to be brightly painted. On one pole, for example, is a large human face with purplish eyes, green eye lids, pink nose and red lips. An other face on the same pole has a red nose and very prominent teeth. Still another face has red-and-pur- pie eyes. and red lips; and a green frog is clinging to its nose!
 Arms and legs are commonly shown beneath the faces. One figure has face with google eyes and a very large mouth, the tongue in plain view. This figure is carved as though holding two tiny chill dren. Above and below the images of other children. The figure of DlrU IS OlltH tO UC oCSii GU ehC tVP of totem pole.
 Why do these Indians have totem poles? It is part of their religion. and has something to do with an- cestor worship. It has long been tho custom for Indians to divide themselves into clans-as the bear clan, the wolf clan or the crow clan. The animals pictured on the poles show the clans to which those living inside the houses belong. The faces of people stand for great great-grandparents or other ances- tors.
 The fact that these Indians give honor to ancestors Is one of the many links between American In- dians and the Chinese. Ancestor worship is an important part of re- ligion in China.

New York = Even in an odd little isle where anything can happen - and does it's a bit unnerving to walk back stage in swanky store and find room filled with the dum- mics of Mrs Astorbilt and Mrs Van- dermorgan and Mme Van Raennsel- hauser.
 Yet such is the case, even if we haven't used the right names of the various and sundry effigies.
 For at least dozen grand ladies, whose names appear in large type in the various social registers and blue books. have exact replicas of their physical selves filed away in the archives of one particular concern. Each dummy is identified by a pla- card. The placards are signed, Mrs Astorbilt," Mrs Reggie Richrox" and so forth.
 Why, you may ask, is this done, and what it it all about?
 Let me explain: Mrs Wander morgan and all her sisterhood are kept very busy socially.
 Suppose they want a certain type of gown in hurry! Suppose they are in Europe! Suppose they have neither time nor opportunity to go to favOrite shop! Suppose they have grown to trust the judg- ment. of some certain filter and an other certain style expert.
 They have merely to call up, telegraph or cable!
 And = presto = everything IS simple! The experts go into a pri- vate room and take out the dummy of Mrs Morganbilt. for instance. This dummy follows the figure of the grand lady to the last curve and angle. If she has taken on few pounds in year or more, the dunn my is changed at the waist or at the hips or the shoulders. If she happens to have peculiar slouch on her left side. the dummy is pad ded accordingly.
 Month after month, and year after year, the dummy is recon. structed to agree with the diets o1 at least gozen celebrated society women.
 Fantastic, you say! But even more so when encountered per sonally. Imagine being led into 6 half-lit back room in one of the swankiest shops in New York Suddenly the lights are flashed on and there before you stand col. lection of headless figures. eacf wearing name that suggests mil lions of dollars and loads of prestige
