trail committee of the Red Cross had
adopted two resolutions, as follows:
THAT 1t is the sense of the central
committee that the Red Cross Is in
position adequately to complete the
task 1t has undertaken in the drought
stricken areas, and it hereby assumes
the responsibility of completing said
task without public appropriations"
''That 1t Is the sense Of the central
committee that the Red Cross cannot
accept the administration Of the funds
for general relief purposes, as pro-
vided for under the terms of the bill
which has passed the senate and Is
now pending in the house"
Senators who UPHELD the senate's
attempt to give the Red Cross $685.
100000 relief appropriation rallied to
the defense of that plan and. led by
Robinson of Arkansas, denounced the
Red Cross, President Hoover and the
administration generally. They gave
notice that they would filibuster
against the general appropriation bills
unless what they consider to be ade-
quate relief for the drought areas is
granted.

"John!" said the missus.
"Yeah?" he grumbled.
~There Is just one of two things

worlds export markets. The scheme
proposed includes a 10 per cent cut
in wages and similar reduction in
the prices of all goods and commohi-
ties. The British working man, &C.
cording to officials, would be as well
off as ever though receiving less for
his work. Mr.. Snowden has been sound
ing out the large employers on the
plan, and in letter to prominent
manufacturers has intimated that the
government in its next budget would
set the example by making cut Of
10 per cent in the salaries Of all gov
eminent employees. The trade unions
have been consulted and have given
the scheme their approval.
CARRYING out the policy and plans
" of the British government, Lord
Irwin. viceroy of India, decreed the
unconditional release from prison OF
Mahatma Gandhi and his chief lieuten-
ants, all members OF the working COM
mittee of the all-India national con-
gress. The "holy man." desiring to
avoid demonstrations, did not leave
the Yeravda Jail until eleven o'clock
at night. Clad only in a loin cloth,
he took a train for Bombay, where he
was met by immense crowds of ador-
ing and rejoicing natives.
Gandhi told interviewers that he
emerged from Jail with an absolutely
open mind unfettered by enmlty and
prepared 10 study the whole situation
and the statement of Prime Minister
Macdonald. He still insisted every
political prisoner in India should be
freed, but said he die not yet know
what would be his course If the Brit

ard of judicial appointment in which
political usefulness does not enter.
He has refused repeatedly to be bent
by such motives. | am sure that the
people of Minnesota approve of his
attitude. When 1t comes to judicial
office they want men about whose
qualifications there is not room for
difference of opinion. not men ap-
pointed to pay political debts"
Senator Schall ccepted the issue
and replied:
81 am forced to the conclusion that
the attorney general displays less than
good taste TO say the least when he
makes reference to the payment of
political debts. 1t Is an inferential
insult to the people of our state to
even intimate that they would consid-
err political expediency rather than
sound qualifications and integrity in
their choice of judicial appointee."
POSSIBILITY of another controversy
with Canada doomed when 1t was
announced that the two masted auxil-
larry schooner Josephine r., Of Nova
Scotian registry, had been captured
by a coast guard cutter after five
mile chase in lower New York bay
and her skipper. Capt. William P.
Cluett OF Nuremberg. Nova Scotia,
killed by a shot from one-pounder.
On the schooner and on garbage
scow which was in tow Of a tug and
also was captured the officials found
a large quantity of liquor.
After a conference in the White
House, Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Lowman gave out the state
ment that the coast guard was per-
forming its statutory duty in pre-
venting smuggling.
at is regrettable the captain lost
his life, but 1t was simply an incl
dent to the transaction" he continued.
81 feel sure the coast guard did not
fire with intention of taking life, but
to prevent the rum runner escaping.
Apparently the Canadian was violating
the laws of the United States. which
1t is the duty of the coast guard to
enforce under mandates from the con-
gress of the United States"
Lowman said a coast guard cutter
caught the rum runner transferring
a cargo of liquor TO scow and a
small motorboat well within the r.
mile limit and just outside New York
harbor. He said the cutter hoisted her
pennant, whereupon the rum runner
tried to escape. Several warning shots
were fired before the shell struck the
pilot house, killing the captain and
bringing the Josephine K. to stop.

There is nothing to gain, says
the association, by letting the
anti-freeze out of your cooling
system at this time of year.
Permanent anti-freezes like radia-

hinder the functions of the cool

BUICK IN WORLD.
TOUR IS SHOWN
FIRM HEAD
Polish Boy Scout Aide Visits
Factory in Michigan and Is
Guest of President Strong

Fresh from a world tour of
more than 100000 miles, packed
with romance and adventure and
tinged with tragedy, George Je-
linski, native of Poland, visited
the Buick Motor Comany plants
at Flint. Mich, last week, with
the Buick he made his trip.
While at the Buick factory
Mr.. Jelinski was the guest of E.
T. Strong, president and general
manager, whose signature was
the last to be entered in a hugh
book containing several thousand
others secured from notab1eS
throughout the world.
On Road Two Years
Mr.. Jelinski made the trip in
the interests of the Polish Boy
Scouts, and intends to return
soon to his home city, Warsaw.
In broken English and with the
aid of an interpreter, Mr.. Jelin-
ski chatted with Mr.. Strong, tell
ing Of his trip and impressions;
how one of his companions died
and how the other fell i'll and
returned home, leaving him to
finish most of the trip alone.
The tour required about two
years to complete and Mr.. Je-
linski visited 27 countries. One
incident stands out prominently
in his memory. While in Bel
GUM he paid his respects to
King Albert, who asked many
questions. Later the same day.
officers hailed Mr.. JelinSki, COM
manding him to stop. In a few
minutes he was again in the
presence of King Albert, who
said he wished to see at close
range the car in which such a
remarkable trip was being made.
Mr.. JelinSki has warm praise
for America. He said:
"Only by seeing the United
States in its immensity can
one Judge how powerful and
wonderful a nation she really
Is"
Here in 1928
He crossed America in 1928 and
sailed from San Francisco to
Hawaii and thence to China and
India. He visited Colombo and
then sailed to Marseilles, France.
From there he motored to Bel
GUM, then to Germany and back
to Poland.
In his book of famous sigma
lures are found the names OF
Benito Mussolini, former Presi-
dent Coolidge, Marshal Pilsud-
ski, King Albert and Admiral
Horthy.
The Buick in which he made
his trip now bears the insignia Of
the 80 automobile clubs he joined
in Poland, France, England and
other countries. It is equipped
with radio and the rear seat is
easily converted into bed. The
car bears a 1923 license of the
State of Maryland used in cross
ing the United States, and a set
of this years Polish plates.
