NEW YORK, Nov. 3 T.N.sJ.
The Associated Gas and Electric
System today asSented to the
demand Of the Federal Power
Commission that the sale of the
Clarion River Power Company to
the Pennsylvania Electric Com
pany, both units in the system,
be abrogated.
c. F. Paxson, counsel for Clar-
ion River Power Company, said
his clients had acted in good
faith under a construction Of the
law which in their opinion made
it unnecessary for the commits
Sion's approval to be obtained.
However, in view Of the con-
trary finding of the commission
he had advised the Federal COM
mission that his clients were de-
sirous of complying with the
commissions order.
The commission set an impor-
tant precedent in utility regula-
ton in ruling that it would not
recognize the transfer. at fore

one unit in a system to another

Plans Progress s
For jubilee

The military and naval at
taches from all the allied ma
tions have accepted the invita-
ton of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars of the United States to
attend the Armistice Day jubilee,
known as "ArmentiereS on
Armistice Night" to be held at
the Washington Auditorium on

ing made for this outstanding
event, which is being given to
raise funds to care for out-of.
town veterans who become
stranded in Washington during
the winter.
One Of the features Of the
Jubilee will be the Moulin
Rouge, and plans are also in
progress to reproduce the casino

won or lost at roulette, chuck-a-
luck and other games Of chance.
Dancing will be continuous
throughout the evening, and a
feature of the entertainment
will be the distribution of thou
sands Of copies of replicas Of
the Paris Herald published on
Armistice Day, 1918.
The President and Mrs.
Hoover have been invited. and
many officials will be in the
large company expected to at
tend.

cease Firing!"

Representative La Guardia of New York has writ
ten letter to Attorney General Mitchell urging the
government to stack its smoking guns and declare
sort of armistice in the prohibition until the
people translate their will into law and repeal the
cause of it all.
Major La Guardia referred not only to the recent
raids on the Spanish veterans meeting at Alex
andria Bay in New York, but to campaign of
months in which, he says "the malicious destruction
of property in connection with enforcement has been
common throughout the land.
Enforcement, always difficult, now is impossible,
since both Chicago conventions have spoken. At
tempts to continue the ruthless phase of the
will, he argues, only make convictions harder, en-
courage graft, and stir popular resentment against
government.
why" he exclaims even in war between belliger
ent nations, firing at the time of armistice,
during the period of peace negotiations
Il do not take the position that the law already
has been repealed do take the position that from
this point enforcement should be kept within the
law and all and policies heretofore followed
by your department in destroying property and as
saults and killings should be abolished"
This request is reasonable. Since the destruction
of lives and property even before the conviction of
crime is bit unusual, anyway, it is not too much
to ask the dry squads to firing for awhile In
the meantime, we may conclude a peace treaty by
means of repeal.

HEALTH SERVICE
Danger Lies in Electrical Treatment

Source of the heat or of the light
should be covered with a mesh
screen. The holder should be of
insulated and heat-resisting mate
rial and all metal work should be
grounded.
1t is not likely that the live parts
of such apparatus will be touched
while they are III use, because they
are sufficiently hot and glowing to
warn off any one, but they should,
nevertheless, be protected with mesh
guards to prevent accidents.
British authorities issue special
Instructions as to safety in connec-
ton with apparatus for heating the
body by passing current through
the body-namely, diathermy APP
paratus-and also for prevention of
accidents due to blowing of a fuse,
bad contact of electric plugs, or
breakage in electrical connections.
Finally, it is not safe to proceed
on the basis that apparatus is per-
manently safe, since there is the
tendency of insulation to break or
degenerate.
Hence, there should be regular in
Spection of all electrical equipment
from the point of view of safety.

Who Wins This War?

Cheered by thousands of Bolivian citizens, says
the dispatch, a troop train left La Paz Two thou
sand women paraded to the presidential palace
carrying banners pledging their lives to the father
land.
The principal Of the normal school exhorted the
women from balcony to be ready for Red Cross
service on the field Of battle
1t has the ring of real war, hasn't it? 1t prob
ably is real war. Many of the Bolivian boys that
troop train may not come back to La Psz. The
flies that swarm battefelds the vtures that circle
above, await them.
We have no similar dispatch at the moment from
Asuncon but it is reasonable to suppose that Para
guayan sweethears are kissing Paraguayan boys fare
we'll that Paraguayan women are pedging their lives
to their fatherland.
And who will win this war? That's easy: The
flies and the vultures For If it goes the limit, if
it becomes what it threatens to become, on
the grand scale between the whole people of the
two patriotic and excited countries it will not end
until both are ruined
There be nothing in that strip of border land
they call the Chaco of value equal the losses each
nation will sustain.
Bolivia and Paraguay both must lose. Indeed
aside from muntion makers in other countries, it
is hard to where there is to be any profit from
this war.
South America whole will suffer from it
and, to some degree North America and Europe.
That shooting has begun in the Chaco is par
tcularly distressing because of the patient and sin
cere international effort since the clash of Deem
ber 1929 to find solution of this dispute.
The American government has arranged repeated
conferences in Washington. Cuba, Mexico Uruguay
and Columbia have been exerting their good Offices
to forestall an armed clash
And back of it all there is fifty years of effort
to promote spirit of Pan-American harmony that
would tide such crises
NO holocaust of boodshed and human misery
can lead to any result other than that which might
be forecast by careful analysis and brought
about by continued patient negotiating
War will compel partisan alignment of neghbor
ing countries and increase the difficulties of nego
tiations
Notwithstanding racial prdes and traditional ha-
treds, there has been every evidence that the re-
sponsble statesmen of both countries realize all this
But they are harassed continually by military out
breaks such as that which now has precipitated
the movement of troop trains.
Apparently, unless these statesmen can find a
way to control the military of their respective
countries Bolivia and Paraguay headed back to-
ward the tribal state, out of which, along with the
rest of the world, they have been climbing pain
fully ....

The Last Laugh

President Hoover is quoted as having said that
what this country needs is a new joke
Recently Governor Rooeevelt, as head of a very
much interested state, telegraphed Hoover asking
for conference on the ST. Lawrence waterway
treaty with Canada
Hoover wired back in effect: 3Don't bother little
Governor; run along and finish your fishing Well
handle everything in fact, we've been negotiating
with Canada for three years.
Everybody laughed.
Now the New York power authority recalls that
Undersecretary of State Castle last summer denied
there were any negotiations with Canada And
somebody digs up a statement made by Hoover
when he was secretary belittling the bene
fits of the proposed waterway.
More important, Senator Borah has stepped into
the picture, AS head of the foreign relations COM
mittee he has named subcommittee to go into
everything related to the treaty On this subcom-
mttee he has named Senators Borah La Toilette,
Walsh of Montana, Wagner of New York, Robinson
Of Arkansas Glenn of Illinois and Vandenberg of
Michigan.
OF the seven, only two Hoover Republicans.
The issue is important politically in the northwest
and northeast. And the subcommittee will begin
open hearings next month.
The President seems to have got his joke.

A Vote in December

Senator Carter Glass Of Virginia in the closing
hours of the congressional session. did notable job
in Strengthening out the prohibition question, pre-
viously tangled by parliamentary tactics.
AS result of his successful attempt to place his
repeater of the prohibition amendment before the
senate, that body adjourned with this measure its
unfinished business"
The senate recovering in December, will have the
Glass resolution up for debate and vote
This means that the voters at home will have an
opportunity to let and representatives know
what their congressman should do this fall, While
the members of congress elected in November will not
take office until the following March, the December
session will have the election results as guide.
The Glass resolution provides for ratification by
state conventions prohibits saloons and pledges fed
eral aid to prevent shipments of liquor into dry states
1t would submit to the people safeguarded sub
stitute for the present silly system,
The vote of 81 to 81 by which the Senate decided
to take up the Glass resolution should give heart to
sober citizens who long have soughC intelligent &C
ton against the evils of the present system.
The vote was the first the repeal question
since the eighteenth amendment was submitted
fifteen years ago. 1t may be regarded not necessarily
as test of whether senator's are wet or dry but as
to whether they are willing for the people to decide
the issue
When the vote comes submitting repeal reso-
luton to the states, a two-thirds majority Of each
house of congress is necessary.
It is hearening in this connection to note that the
senator's favorng consideration of the resolution cast
within five votes of two-thirds majority of those
voting.
