MOSES SEES EUROPE
SOLVING PROBLEMS
Senator Thinks Hoover Is Aiding
Statesmen to Find
Solution.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CONCORD, N. H., July 13.-United
States Senator George II. Moses said to-
day that Germany was not bluff1ng and
that her troubles were very real He
expressed the opinion. however. that
European statesmen, aided by the ad
vice Of President Hoover. would find a
way to meet the difflculties.
II do not think" said the New Hamp-
shire Senator, that France will insist
on political guarantees in return for any
aid she may consent to give Germany
and for Germany to accede to these de-
mands Is impossible. TO yield would
amount to such a surrender of SOW
ereignty as no nation could consent to
make.
II believe there Is a certain parallel
between the world outlook today and
that of 1914. But I do not wish to
predict any such outcome. The world
today takes a different view Of interna-
tionAl relations.
France, I am confident, will find
that she cannot insist Upon political
concessions In connection with q flnan-
cial agreement. To put it another way,
she cannot mix the oil OF economics
with the water Of politics"

FARM GROUP BACKS
GRAIN TRADE CURB.
Federation Would Limit 0per-
ators' Daily Exchange to
Two Million Bushels.
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASSOClhleO HTcsS
Legislation to restrict speculative
trading on grain exchanges again will
receive the support of the American
Farm Bureau Federation in the next
Congress.
The bureau has been behind the
Capper- Dickinson bill. The measure
will be reintroduced next Winter and
provides for limitation of any one oper-
ator's trading to 100000 bushels a day
and his long or short position to a
similar amount.
President Hoover's arraignment of
SPECTATORS who sell short in hard times
has brought demands for restriction.
The grain futures administration OF
the Agriculture Department also favorS
the Capper-Dickinson proposal.
Board Due Consideration.
Chester H. Gray. Washington repre-
sentative of the bureau, in outlining
important legislation In which 1t is in
terested and whict, probably will come
before the next Congress, said amend
ment or repeal of the agricultural mar
keting act, creating the Farm Board,
undoubtedly will be actively considered.
He added, however, that it seems
unlikely the entire act will be repealed
because of the nearness of the presi-
Dental election campaign. The bureau,
he said, will devote its energies toward
making the act stronger when Amend
n1entS are offered.
Gray has suggested to the bureaus
board CT directors active interest be
taken in the power question, which he
emissions as due to become especially
important next Winter.
Power Faces Action.
THE power group" he said. now
constitutes what may be considered
from many angles the most sinister
economic and political force in our
Nation. Something is going to be
worked out to regulate the influence
Of the power group and the American
Farm Bureau Federation should get
itself ready to be a participant in this
effort
Vigilance is urged by Gray, unless
efforts to pro0uce new sources of rev.
enue to offset the Treasury deficit place
an additional loan en- the mass Of
citizens now bearing IAN undue bur-
den" Increase in the present tax
brackets to lay the burden on those
who have the ability to pay was adj
vanced as the best means.
He opposed postponement of national
debt payments and reductions in Fed
eral projects along agricultural lines to
meet the deficit.
Granting of Philippine independence
and providing additional rural credit
were listed as other propositions the
bureau might espouse.

George Arliss in His New Sensation "Alexander Hamilton" Due at Sfata Saturday.

"Alexander Hamilton" the War ner Bros drama starring George Arliss which comes to the Warner Rros State theater Saturday next, does not dwell on the brilliant statesmanship of the financial genius of the first secretary of the treasury-but on the common hu- manity which made him the dupe, temporarily, of one of the cleverest adyenturesses of all time-Mary Reynolds.
 Indirectly this fascinating wo- man influenced the brilliant leader who at the time was largely re- sponsible for the future of the re- public. Among great problems Of inc time was the choice of site for the national capital, the estab- lishment of national credit and the question of governmental assump- ton of revolutionary war debts.
 To clear his name from false charges of dishonesty, Hamilton frankly laid bare his part in the Reynolds affair, leaving judgment to men whom he knew were or like passions with himself. This is one of the most dramatic scenes of the absorbing play-which gives MT Arliss his most superb role. Those featured in support are Doris Kenyon, Dudley Diggs, Alan Mawbray, Rolfe Harolde, June Collyer, Charles Middleton. Mon- tague Love, Lionel Belmore, Nor gan Wallace, Gwendolin Logan, John T. Murray, Charles Evans. John Larkin, Evelyn Hall. Russell simpson and James Durkin.

u1H Gilbert Swan

thur Bower actually had achieved that rare distinction. He was a reckless and lavish spender and a careless gambler, and tales of his exploits fired the imagination of 1 Fred Gilbert, an English song writer. London gave it but ordin- ary welcome, but an American team-Hoey and Evans-used it in one of the old Charley Hoyt come dies and the American nation
 picked it up.
 Just few years ago, there came a news story from London telling of the death of Arthur De Courcey Bower, the inspiration of the ven- erable tune. Bower had died pen niless and the tale went that some early day press agent had engaged him to go about Europe, tossing money about and boasting of his Monte Carlo winnings. The pur- pose, of coIurse, being to lure gam blers to the roulette wheels. "Silver Threads" was used first as a space filler" in a Wisconsin farm paper. It was noticed by a travelling singer named Hart Danks while making tour of the middlewest. Making inquiry, Danks l learned that 1t had been written by Eben Rexford, the magazines edi- l tor, who was tickled to sell 1t for $S. Danks then wrote the music, sold the song to a Chicago pblisher and the minstrels fairly fought for 1t. The amazing sale of two mill lion copies followed in record time.
 Years passed and Richard Jose. the tenor, repopularized it-and so it has gone ever since.
 But to get back to the story: Danks, who had immortalized life long adoration of husband and wife, became estranged from his own sweetheart. Something like a dozen years ago, he was found near death in a Philadelphia room- ing house. He was propped up in bed and had begun to scrawl a | farewell message to the world across page of the song. He had written but six words
 Tt is hard to die alone" But he did die alone, already forgotten.
 And here's a particularly inter- esting bit: Anent the line in Daisy
 Bell" which goes, "but you'll look
 sweet upon the seat of a bicycle
 built for two"
 The author. Harry Dacre, had arrived in New York with a bike in
 1S93. He had brought his bicycle
 with him from London and the
 customs officers demanded a fec
 that he could not afford.
 Telling his experience to the his. toric Tony Pastor, who had
 brought Dacre over, Pastor com
 mented: You ought to be thank.
 ful it wasn't tandem. That would
 have cost twice as much"
 Which is where "the bicycle built for two" idea origininated.

New York.-Did you know that "Silver Threads Among the Gold grew out of an obscure clipping in a farm magazine? And that "Bred in Old Kentucky was suggested by a horse trade in Central Park in ye olden days? That the historic Floradora sextet started out to be a duet written by a church organ ist?
 Well, neither did I until just the other day when Jim Geller started telling me the Flow down" on the famous old ditties that have lived to ripe old age. James J. Geller, theatrical advance man Of the old school and Manhattan newspaperman for generation, has been spending his odd time tracking down the stories behind the best known songs. Recently he collected his "reminiscences and put them in a book titled, Famous Songs and Their Stories"
 "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo" for instance, was based on the legend that one Arr
