STANDARD OF
Living MUST
Be KEPT UP

NEW YORK, Oct 24-R-Amer-
lean business Is looking brighter
to James A. Farrell.
The president OF the United States
Steel corporation, speaking before
the fortieth annual conference Of
the Iron and steel Institute last
night. said:
Here and there are industries
which have already experienced
requickening impulses OF consumer
demand. There has been q slowing
down of the declining trend in our
export trade, and q reversal. last
month. Of the unfavorable balance
of trade Of August.
indications Favorable
These favorable Indications,
while not as pronounced as we
would wish, tend TO strengthen the
conviction that the resources OF the
nation are being modified In an
effort TO shake off the dependency
which has tampered enterprise and
the lack OF confidence which has
curtailed consumer demand"
MIR. Farrell said favorable results
already are apparent from the
banking pool recently inaugurated
by President Hoover.
The biggest danger. as Mr.. Far
rel sees 1t. lies in theorists and
reformers who would tamper with
the basic business organization Of
the country first toward socialism
and then toward communism. He
said:
Some OF the schemes set forth
for the reorganization OF American
industry would place industrial
concerns in the unenviable position
OF the chauffeur who Is harassed by
back seat drivers"
The country, he continued. must
resolve at all hazards" TO maintain
its standard OF living. He condemn
ed too drastic price cutting and
unfair competition - factors en-
dangering that standard.
Optimism Voiced
Mr.. Farrell said that recent con-
ditions are not the fault OF tmer-
lean business. Since recent events
in Europe. including the suspen-
sions in many countries of the gold
standard, 1.-THE root OF the distemper
is no longer sought in any defects
inherent in our industrial economy,
but in q combination OF factors
among which American Industry
plays but a minor role as a con-
tributory cause
The note OF optimism in Mr.. Far
rell's address echoed similar opti-
mism expressed yesterday BY Charles
M. Schwab. head OF the Bethlehem
Steel corporation.

SCARE RUMORS
CIRCULATE ON
EVE

LONDON. Oct. "a. Rp-An parties
In the most harried and strenuous
election campaign Great Britain
has witnessed in years rounded the
turn today with eyes right. and a
shiver of fear lest the ghost Of the
notorious "Zinovieff letter" walk
again on the eve Of the voting.
Lord Arnold, labor peer, warned
the electorate there would be AN
something ike the famous purpc-t-
ed Russian documents which ap-
peared at the last minute in the
IA campaign and to which the
labor party attributed its defeat.
There also were whispering that
the labor party had up its sleeve a
disclosure Of secret financial cor
respondence" which would be aim
ed at blasting the prospects of the
national government and its fol-
lowers.
Both Claim Victory
In the meantime, both sides
claimed victory today, with the yot-
ing only three day. away. Support
erS Of Prime Minister Macdonald
assured the country he would be
given the "dc ;tor's mandate" he
asks, by a huge majority in par
Lament. The oppositionists, led by
the veteran "Unc.e Arthur" Hem
derson, former foreign minister, Just
as confidently predicted the ma
tional governments defeat.
The campaign has been one OF
the most bitter the country has
known in modern times. Speakers
have been howled down hundreds Of
times, heads have been Dashed and
some candidates have gone about
with bodyguards.
Women In Race
In London financial circles today
a landslide for the Macdonald
forces was prec ted but in other
quarters it was pointed out that
London Is "a long way" from the
great industrial centers Of the
midlands and the north where
there is much unemployment and
the cuts in the dole" count as a
most important factor.
Women candidates have shoulder
ed their share Of the hurry burly
campaign, among them Lady Astor,
native Of Virginia; flashing, petite
and fiery NJ gan Lloyd-G George,
daughter and close companion OF
the veteran liberal leader; Margaret
Bondfield, who was a member OF
the former labor cabinet and first
woman to hold a cabinet post in
Britain, and England's own Mary
Pickford, the Hon. Mary Pickford

candidate for Hammersmith, North.

Loosely paraphras;ng Kipling, one
might declare that north is north
and south Is south and never the

undoubtedly been drawn closer to-

the two so close as to make them

from any resident Of Brownsville.
District Linked
Thus the Valley OF Everlasting
Sunshine, nearly in the middle OF
two continents, has become, due to
Pan American and American Air
ways. next doo- neighbor to the
farthest points in the Americas
Being the crossroads Of two contin-
ents Is a new experience for Browns
vile and its effect has scarcely be-
come apparent.
With air transportation offering
speed that is beyond competition. il
is destined that Brownsville will
stand alone in intercontinental travel
between the Siamese continents and
will offer its own support to existing,
primarily oceanic, lines Of trans
portation between them.
In the web of the histories Of the
two companies, they have, in the
short years Of operation, written
romantic and sometimes spectacular
chapters for the annals of trans
portation. The isolation Of the south
ern republics has been washed away
in the slip streams Of the tri-motored
transports Of Pan American ships
and there are recorded times when
succor first reached haTrassed cities
OF the southern countries and Of the
Yves tIndies by Pan American planes
The weather reporting wireless sta
tons Of the company have. in such
times, been the voices which gave
the world news Of the disasters.
From the freshly written reports OF
American Anyways there r nc
chapters on storm relief, but there Is
pathos and more often comedy be-
hind the ticket stubs OF many OF
its passengers. Men and women pell-
melting TO loved ones in trouble have
been quietly placed aboard the
planes and dispatched at two miles

precious to entrust to mail pouches,
have been carried by pilots in their
uniform pockets while they streaked
through the clouds in a real race
against death.
Importance Seen.
These are samples OF the stories
that have become known. and they
are doubtless even more exciting TO
the imagination which have been
lost in the tide OF traffic. Such in
cidents strike the sense forcibly TO
a realization Of the Importance OF
the new transportation boon.

Salary Readjustments
Planned for Teachers

Returns from q QUESTIONABLE sent
to $40 graded and high school dis
trtcts In North Dakota indicate there
WILL be some teacher salary readjust-
ments for 19Sl-32. according to N. e.
McCurdy. Fargo. secretary Of the
North Dakota Education association.
A total Of CAS- per cent OF the e
plies indicate that the lo3O-3l salary
schedules would be maintained with
16 per cent OF the total number pro-
viding for q small annual increase for
teachers reelected.
A wide variation of reductions.
ranging from two and one-half per
cent to IS per cent Of tho present
salary Schedule was reported by the
remainder Of the districts, although
in 80 per cent OF these cases the cuts
ranged from 5 to 10 per cent.
Mr.. McCurdy reports that in many
places the regular salary schedule is
being maintained for teachers re-
elected but new teachers are being
contracted for at q lower initial salary
than formerly, and other boards are
requiring higher teacher Qualifica-
tions at no increase in salary. A
study Of the returns indicate that the
majority Of those reporting reduce
tons are from the small school sys-
TENS, whose salary schedule is al
ready lower than that Of the larger
systems.
Inaslnuch as rural school boards
hold their meetings In April no re-
port IL available for this class Of

set a board on edge along the row on
the windy side and hold the board ir
place by means Of stakes driven into
the ground. This will break the force
OF the wind and keep the plants from
being blown about and injured
Where plants are freshly set they
may need shading from the direct
sunlight. II so. the board may be
set on the sunny side Of the row and
inclined slightly over the row so as
to shade the plants. In this case, the
stakes need be driven on M side Of
the board only. the under side.
Raising Early Cabbage
Early cabbage Is often grown In
sections where the climate is fairly
mild. But for setting the pants In
the late fall or during the winter the
usual method Is to throw up narrow
ridges or beds and set the plants on
the south side and about halfway
up the side Of the bed.
The growers Of early cabbage are
also careful not to apply nitrogen IL
the fertilizer that they use In fitting
the land for planting. because the nj
trogen will tend to make the plants
grow soft and less resistant to freez-
ing. The nitrogen element Of the
fertilizer is applied in q quickly avail
able form about the time the plants
start growth In early spring.
