WILD GEESE HERALD WINTER
Large Flock Seen on Flight South
ward, Indicate Colder Weather

F'locks of wild geese were seen
flying over lower Delaware, wend-
ing their way southwark. Weather
prophets state that this is a sure
sign of approaching cold weather.
They are no doubt coming from
the Great Lakes region and the
Canadian feeding grounds, and
many of them will probably spend
the Winter in the Assawoman,
Sinepuxent and Isle of Wight bays.
Hundreds of ducks and geese each
year use these bays as feeding
grounds and afford sportsmen of
lower Delaware and Worcester
County, Maryland, many days of
good shooting. Hundreds of ducks
and geese each year are killed in
those bays. At this time, it is
stated, there are large numbers in
these waters, but they are feeding
so far away from the shores that
gunners are not able to enjoy much
sport. With colder weather and
heavy freezes the geese will be
driven in nearer the shores.

IN paraphrasing Ulysses s. Grant

out on the depression line II it takes III
the Summer after next. That was tile
keynote of the annual meeting OF tne
United States Chamber Of Commerce
which brought TO a close on May TIC
most critical session IN its history.
There was no consensus Of predlctloh
that 1t will take another year for pusi-
ness to recover. Indeed, the Natloll
economic leaders were deeply impressed
with the revelation-brand new to near
" all OF them-which fell from the lips
Of Robert p. Lamont, Secretary OF Com
merce. In addressing the chamber ILe
administration spokesman, without ven
turing onto the perilous ice OF prophecy
disclosed that in virtually every depres-
sion since the panic of 1873, the penou-
lum began to swing in the other oHeC-
ton early in the second Summer. II
history repeats itself, the business morn
zon should begin to brighten IN the
United States within 90 days.

branch Of commercial and industrial

Der anything Savoring Of cure-ail;
The meeting adjourned, rather. amid
q general feeling that business can
do little more than continue the oe-
fenSive measures invoked during the
FIRST year and half of the slump. A
relief plan that might benefit one
trade, 1T was made apparent, would
not benefit some ether entirely differ
emit trade. Each has its special SCI
OF conditions to face and problems 10
unravel Wage cuts or curtailed hours,
which would serve a purpose here,
might utterly fail to serve any pur-
pose whatsoever there. The anticl-
pated drive for wage reductions, which
1t was feared might be precipitated
from banking quarters, failed to ma
terialize in Atlantic City. On the con-
trary, the principle enunciated by Sec
rotary Lamont-that slashed wages
would mean SlaShed purchasing power

sound. Senator Couzens' warning to
business to introduce unemployment

Americans in Paris Hear i. S.
Programs on Short.Wave Sets

PARISH certainly is a pleasure
while in Paris or Vienna to tune in on
your short-wave radio and hear the
American stations. Also, 1t is too bad
that fading often comes in to spoil this
contact with the home country. Amer
leans, far from home, are deeply CRATE
full for that short-wave program A
sentimental and patriotic chord Is
touched, so that the fact that one is
listening in on an American station be-
comes far more important than the pro-
gram itself.
The only suggestion one might make
is that the programs should be more
national and perhaps more varied. The
music given on American programs is
good: IL Is too good. It is too classical
and monotonouS. Some short-wave sta
ton should set out TO reflect abroad a
series Of pictures Of characteristic
American life.
Endless Variety in Europe.
The listener abroad has a choice Of
about so large stations and about $50
local or minor chain stations But
there is endless variety in Europe. Eu-
ropean countries are as small as States
at home, and in each country there is
a different language, different customs,
different music. 1t Is liberal education
Just TO turn the dials. Many Europeans
know something OF languages in nearby
countries, so some of the announce
ments are understood. But the uni
Versal language of music Is penetrating
throughout Europe and Is doing as
much as the League Of Nations in get
ting people better acquainted. Austrians
like to tune in Toulouse France, and
hear the extremely pleasant announcer

of Hungarian gypsy music. when the

State Operation Is Rule.
With the exception OF France, Hol-
