Wouldn't Make a Dent

News dispatches tell us that M. S.
Mikhailovivanov, director Of tractor
and automobile construction in the
Soviet Republic, died three days after
he had speeded up the Stalingrad
tractor works to a record production
of 100 machines a day.
Any of the great American tractor
firms would laugh at that figure, for
it is only a fraction. of the possible
production at a score or more of the
American plants.
Which brings to mind the recent
statement of a keen and impartial
observer who recently returned from
Sovietland.
He said: "The Russians are do
ing big things over there and are
making progress. It is untrue to say
they are doing nothing and going
nowhere. But it still is a fact that
all Of their achievements in the last
five years could be distributed in the
industrial area between Detroit and
Pittsburgh and their coming wouldn't
make a front-page story for the
newspapers"

Sir Thomas Linton

Millions mourn the passing OF Sir
Thomas Upton, q most colorful world

and his fame, he never lost contact
with his fellowmen. Never did he
forget the humble days of the corner
grocery which expanded into great
warehouses, fleets of merchant ma
rine. and plantations galore that
brought him wealth without end.
He adopted Snowman tactics il

Without Bloodshed
New York WORLD

It is gratifying to learn that off,
Gals of at least two cities are refus-
ing to evict from their homes unenl-
ployed workers who can't pay the
rent. Too rarely in the past have
officers of the law remembered thai
the power they serve is q creation of
humans designed to help and protect
them, not to tyrannize or demand
Wanton human sacrifices.
1t may seem to the unthinking that
this refusal Of officials to carry out
eviction mandates imperils law and
order. that men with less, respect fo-
property rights than Yor human
rights are dangerous-probably are
secret agents Of Moscow.
A little serious thought, however,
should lead to the understanding that
safety lies in a policy of wise toler-
ance on the part of authorities
through the trying winter ahead.
Officials who regard with SYM
pathy the desperate problems Of the
poor might, while violating their
oaths as agents of law enforcement,
at the same time prevent rioting.
They might. while refusing to take
drastic steps to protect property
rights in rents, preserve property It,
self from destruction.
They might, while ignoring trivial
demands of the law, make possible
continuance Of this government with
out violence.
Great Britain has shown us the
way by handling a naval mutiny
with the use Of intelligence instead
Of force.

YORK
@&a Gilbert $S

New York, Oct. 3.-Within a few
days, Maude Adams Is scheduled to
answer once more the call for re-
hearsal.
Yet even as Miss Adams prepares
to return to the stage after is years
of absence, the secrecy and mystery
surrounding the stages favorite of
yesteryear continues. Nor Is there
immediate sign that she intends to
cast off the wraith-like role that has
made her appear to be some spec
trail figure lodging in and out of the
public eye.
This much now appears certain:

playing the role Of Portia. She will
insist on southern engagements dur
ing the cold months as a health pre-
caution. She will then play the
warmer eastern points and return to
the metropolitan centers when cli-
matte conditions are good; assuming,
of course, that she has not been too
fatigued by her trip.
But the problem still remains: Will
the public see Miss Adams only as
a stage figure?
How will she be able to continue
her relentless game of hide-and-seek
with the press? How can she avoid
eventual contact with the newspaper
gents who have been trying for years
to tell the public something about
it?
The answer cannot be learned in
the Erlanger offices, where Miss
Adams again takes up the promise
she made a year ago to John D. Will
liams, producer, that she would ap-
pear on the stage.
Will newspaper photographers be
allowed to picture Miss Adams as she

The answer is a polite: mo, they
will not"
Miss Adams will go to some pri-
vate studio. There she will have pic
lures taken. Such pictures as are
agreed upon will be handed out to
the press eventually. They may or
may not be in the costume of Portia,
No one seems able to foretell just
what they will show.

But when she starts on tour, and
travels on trains into small towns?
How car she continue to avoid atten-
ton? No INT seems to know. She
will have a secretary, as usual. She
will be surrounded by other men,
bers of her company. Every effort
will be made to accede to her re-
quests. Mayhap, she will change her
mind.
And what, comes the next ques-
ton, does she look like today? Surely
people in the office have seen her!
What does she do? Where does she
live? -. To all questions there is
a discreet silence.
For all I know, the little old lady
that brushed by me on the street as
I passed the Erlanger theater was
Maude Adams!

BY mid October Miss Adams will
be about ready to "go on" again.
And one cannot but wonder about
her reaction to the folk in towns
where she once played and their re-
action to her. Time was when her
appearance caused schools to close
and mayors to put on their dress
suits. Today there may be no such
thing as q legitimate theater left IN
some of these cities. There will be
times, no doubt. when she'll have to
appear in auditoriums and concert
halls.

Glory of Autumn

It is a little bit odd that spring is
generally supposed to be o of a
hopeful, restless and unsettling sort

abounds with chilly rains and raw
winds, and it has a funereal overtonc

men see visions and the old men
dream dreams, and each man wants
TO leave the place where he is and
go places where he has not been.
That. at any rate, is the tradi-
ton. But it doesn't jibe with the
facts. Autumn has been frightfully
mallgned. It is time justice was
done. In most parts of the country,
autumn provides the incest weather

since our moods depend so greatly OH
what the sun and wind and sky do
to us-it is a time for visions and
dreams. for the birth of new hopes
and the revival Of old ones; a season,
in fact, which does most of the things
spring is supposed to do much better
than spring actually does them.
To be sure, autumn brings death
and decay. But it works with greater
artistry than spring, for it clothes
all in the beauty of flaming wood

taking: it reconciles us to them, it

and decay are only preliminaries to
a rebirth.
It's hazy air, too, carries a breath
of vagabondage. A morning in May
can incite to truancy; but an
October afternoon. when the corn
shocks stand in uneven rows like the
tepees Of IN Indian encampment or
a rolling field, is the time when the
Red Gods are really astir. For then
one perceives that the road to the
