Second Old Lady
That's the first of the old
ladies. Now we come to the
second.
IT was standing on the street
corner. It was Saturday after.
noon. Somehow, a traffic cop
was nowhere to be found. And
yet this corner was the busiest
in town.
Then I saw the old lady.
She was standing right in front
Of me, on the curb. She would
look this way and that. Then,
at the wrong moment, she
would step off the curb and
start across. She would get
five or ten feet out and hurry
back. Cars were whizzing by
in all directions.
Finally, she started out and
kept going. She was too old to
hurry. Suddenly, saw the
real danger. Fire apparatus!
The sirens were screaming as
the machines roared down the
street.
In a flash ran after the
woman! Not to be heroic. I
didn't even think Of that part
of it. Something made me run
after her. I reached her in the
center of the street.
Quickly, I grabbed her arm.
The engines were close now.
And coming like the devil. l
rushed her to the other side so
fast that she couldn't catch her
breath for a moment. It was
worth it. I knew had saved
her life.
II smiled at her. She froze
me with a glance.

screamed. You nearly killed
me! I'll have you know that
I crossed streets long before
you were born!'
"And with that she slapped
me, and walked off," ..-
The Last One
Here's the third and last
of the old ladies. It happened
in a train in the Middle West.
I was sitting toward the rear,
reading a newspaper.
II saw her get up in front
Of the car. She had snow
white hair. And glasses. And
a cane. She was very lame
and could hardly walk.
"She walked the length Of
the car and stood in front Of
me.
"T beg your pardon she
said. Have we reached Vim
cennes yet?'
Il said no, we hadn't
reached Vincennes yet. She
went back to her seat. A
few minutes later saw her
hobbling down the aisle again.
I wondered why she came all
the way through the car to
ask me.
"she asked the same ques-
ton.
"'Have we reached Vim

answer. The third time she
came down the aisle, I tried
to signal her to save her the
walk. But she came down any
way. We hadn't reached Vim

And five times I said no. Then

Names to conjure by with two
generations of youngsters, the
Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and
Little Dorothy now are to be
heroes in a series of animated
cartoons BASED on the famous
stories of Fran, L. Baum.
Musicolor Fantasies, new

adian sportsman, will produce
the pictures, using a color pro-
cess they have perfected after
several years of experiment. Re-
leases already are assured both
here and abroad and the first IF

duction.
To me it seems altogether a
happy idea. I was raised on the

other youngsters. The proof Of
it is that Frank L. Baum has
sold more than 100000 copies
of his books.

Committee Is Seeking to
Remove ReCeiverShip
on Company.

Meeting of Trustees System gold
note holders will be held at 2:30
Thursday in superior court one, it
was announced today by the gold
note holders committee, of which
Louis Benjamin is chairman.
The committee was formed fol-
lowing appointment by Superior
Judge John w. Kern of Willis Egg
gleston and Joseph Wood as tempo
rary receivers for the Indianapolis
company last Thursday.
1t was explained the local re-
ownership action was taken to avoid
useless litigation because of the
pending litigation against the par
ent company in Chicago.
Notice to gold note holders of the
meeting Thursday stated that CO.
operation of holders in a conStruc-
tive program should result in the
receivership being removed and af-
fairs of the company turned back
to its management.
Temporary receiver for the par
ent company was named in federal
court in Chicago when gold tote
holder sued because the company
failed to buy back $4,000 in gold
notes before maturity, as had been
the practice up until a month ago.
Company officials explained they
ceased caShing in the notes before
maturity because sale of new roteS
had dropped and to continue the
practice would necessitate calling
in loans. The company, with
branches in many cities, operates in
the small loan business.
Hearing on a permanent receiver
ship for the parent company in
Chicago has been set for Nov. Is.

MILFORD, Pa, Nov. 9.-Gover-
nor Clifford Pinchot, in a statement
to the United Press, said today:
THE Republican national leaders
asked for defeat and they got it.
They were warned that Hoover's
denomination meant disaster, but
Wall street and the power interests
insisted and the leaders listened to
their masters voice. They are reap
ing exactly what they sowed.
This overturn is the revolt of the
rank and file against blind and sell
fish leadership, which betrayed the
people to serve concentrated wealth.
1T is mandate from the people
to the Republican party to discard
its false guides, reorganize its lines,
and return to the principles of

tuberculosis Thrives in Hard Times,
Says DIR. Martin.
Pointing out that tuberculosis
thrives on hard times, DR.. Will j.
Martin, president of the Indiana
tuberculosis Association, today
sounded the first gun of the annual
campaign of the organization to
raise funds for its preventive work.
A total of 65,000,0O0 Christmas
seals, expected to raise a revenue
of at least 100000, have been dis
tributed to 5000 workers through
out the state, DR.. Martin said.
"Undernourishment follows di-
rectly such periods of unemploy-
ment as we have had" he warned.
Conditions now are being devel-
oped in Indiana that will need
more drastic attack from health
workers than at any time since the
tuberculosis-con program began.
Otherwise, the vast network Of
prevention and cure we have been
able to spread across the state will
fail to function next year."

HOOVER FUTURE
PLANS IN DOUBT
President Is Expected to
Engage in Writing.

By Scripps-Hotodrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. - What
will President Hoover do after
March 4?
Belief prevails here that he will
return to his California home on the
campus of Stanford university at
Palo Alto, there to engage in re-
search and writing.
There has come the suggestion
that he may be named chancellor
of the university to which he has
given much time and energy. Here
he would be surrounded by his best
friends, men like DR.. Ray Lyman
Wilbur, who assumes his old place
as president on Jan. l. DR.. Alonzo
Taylor, food expert, who helped him
feed Europe after the war; John L.
McNab, who nominated him in 1923;
his brother, Professor Tad Hoover,
and many more.
There being no traditional ca
reer in this country for ex-Presi-
dents, such as in European coun-
tries, who offer their defeated prime
ministers roles as opposition leaders,
Hoover probably will not return to
the political arena. Only one Amer
lean ex-President sought a seat in
congress. He was John Quincy
Adams.
Three ex-Presidents headed third
party tickets after leaving the White
House. They were Van Buren,, who
headed the Free Soil party in 1S4S;
Fillmore, who headed the Know
Nothings in 1856; Roosevelt, the
king of the herd of Bull MooSers
in 1912.

EUROPE SEES
LITTLE CHANGE
IN U. S. POLICY
Radical Action Is Deemed
Unlikely, With Roosevelt
Taking Helm.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Europe,
I gather in diplomatic circles here,
is not expecting any radical or i'm
mediate change in United States
foreign policy as result Of the
election of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Having watched the American
elections this year with unparalleled
interest, and having waited impa-
tiently until they were over, Eu-
ropes Washington representatives
are wondering just what the shift is
going to mean to the rest Of the
world in terms of action.
A number of problems Of world
Importance are waiting to be set
tied. including war debts revision,
the world economic conference, dis
armament, the Sino-Japanese con-
troversy, American adherence to the
world court. the project to strength
en- the Kellogg pact, Russian recog-
milton, and others of lesser magni-
tude.
Calamity in Delay
The fear is expressed privately
among some of the diplomats that
President Hoover, in his defeat, may
draw within his shell, and wait until
Roosevelt comes into office to act on
the important issues. This, they
aver, would be calamitouS.
Others, however, point out that
President Hoover's outstanding rep
resentative abroad today is Norman
Davis, a Tennessee Democrat and
undersecretary of state in the Will
son administration.
Having served as a representative
of the United States treasury in
London and Paris as member of
the supreme economic council in
France, and as financial advisor to
President Wilson, it further is OBJ
served, he amply is qualified to
carry on now as liaison officer in
Europe between Hoover and Roose-
welt until March 4.
What Great Britain, France. Ttalv
and the other principal debtor ma
tons chiefly are now concerned
over is the war debts. A drive for
reduction or cancellation had begun
earlier this year, but later was soft
pedaled, because of the American
elections. 1t might embarrass both
candidates.
Fear Hoover Sidestepping
Now that Hoover is defeated and
Roosevelt will not enter the White
House until March, it is recognized
that negotiation of the desired
drastic scaling down still will be
difficult. AS the war debts issue
is full of political dynamite, Europe
fears, President Hoover may find it
convenient to will it to his sue
ceSSor.
Predetermined observers here.
however, believe it will be easier for
the Democrats to handle war debts
than for the Republicans, because
of the repeal plank in their plat
form.
Repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment and adoption of the Swedish,
Canadian, or some similar system
of federal or state liquor control,
it is said, would make it possible
for Europe to pay her war debts in
goods instead of in gold.
