HOOVER To WIN,
MOSES SURE

NEW YORK, Sept. 2 0.N.sJ .
On the authority of "a friend
who has never been wrong in the
past" Senator George H. Moses
(R) of New Hampshire predicted
today that President Hoover
would have at least 288 electoral
college votes in his race for re-
election.
He admitted it would be a hard
fight, but asserted that there was
no doubt Hoover would win the
campaign.
Less optimistic, however, were
his remarks about results in the
House and Senate elections. He
said:
"A lot of US who are running
for reelection this fall are
pitchers who have gone to the
well very often and this may
be the year some of us will
crack up,"

STEELP|CkETS

WARREN, Ohio, Sept 2 QNSO.
Descending upon the demonstra-
tors with clubs, dozen policemen
and deputies today routed 300 men
who had been picketing the Re
public Steel Company plant here,
attempting to influence plant
workers to strike because of a
rumored pay cut.
Seven men, including two or
ganizers of the Metal and Steel
Workers Industrial Union, were
arrested by police on charges of in
toxication and disorderly conduct.
Police were called to scatter the
mob by company officials when
the latter declared they were
radicals and communists trying to
prevent the regular employees from
entering the mill with the aim of
causing a general strike.

FIELDS AYERS
BUDGET 'ALIBI'
IS WEAK
Asserts County Has Already
Spent Money Not Within
Bounds

Resid IS of Arlington
county, Va, today moved to
back Sheriff Howard B. Fields
fight for enlargement of the
police force.
Sheriff Fields recently asked the
county commissioners to provide
three additional officers to be
used in traffic work near schools.
This offer was rejected after Com
missioner GoSnell declared it
could not be cared for under the
present budget.
The sheriff charged, however,
that the commissioners already
have spent funds that were not
provided for in the budget. He
added that the present force of
IL officers and three deputy
sheriffs are overworked and that
increase in crime has forced many
of the men to work overtime in
order to protect the various COM
munities.
There are 20 public schools in
Arlington county. In addition
there are several private and pa
rochial schools.

R|TCH|E ORDERS
SLASH Of ALL
STATE COSTS
Revenue and Assessment
Declines to Force General
Cut in Budget

BALTIMORE, Sept. ..
Maryland's governmental ex-
penditures for 1884 and 1885
must be pared to the bone,
Governor Ritchie has warned
all State department heads.
Anticipated declines in revenue
will require cutting of appropria-
tions Of previous years for cur
rent expenses, he said yesterday
following conferences with Walter
N. Kirkman, State purchasing
agent and budget accountant,
and Joseph o. c. McCusker,
deputy State controller, on prelimi-
nary arrangements for the budget
to be submitted to the 1888 Gen
eral Assembly, which begins in
January.
Full Extent Unknown
The governor said the limits
of the anticipated retrenchment
will not be definitely known until
the close of the fiscal year at
the end of this month, but
added:
"The budget to be submitted
to next years session of the
legislature will be drafted with
the idea Of maintaining the
State rate at its present figure,
and it can be seen clearly that
the task will be q difficult one
in view Of the fact that p
preparations must be provided
on revenues anticipated nearly
three years in advance.

FARMERS TRUCE.
D|SREGARDED

CONTINUED from Page u
UNFAIRLY to withhold their crops
from market during the tenure
of the truce.
They intimated they would end
their blockading of roads if the
proclamatlons were issued.
Would Not Desist
A third band of pickets pa
trolled Highway 80, leading into
Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Omaha
from the East. Their leaders said
they wouldn't recognize the truce
until Milo Reno, national holiday
president, told them in person to
stop their picketing.
The situation was quiet on
other fronts. The truce, called by
Reno, appeared effective in east.
ern and central Iowa. There
were some spats where local
groups continued to picket, but
the movement as a whole en-
tered an armiStice period.
In Nebraska picketing was
called off, while it was possible
the truce. would be adopted in
South Dakota, where farmers
voted to begin a strike Septem-
ber S.
Strike leaders apparently ex-
pected the governors conference
to solve their holiday problems.
The conference was called ny
Governor Warren E. Green J
South Dakota, who asked the e..
ecutives of IA other States to con-
fer with him and spokesmen for
the holiday movement.
A tense feeling gripped this
community, despite peaceful as.
poets elsewhere. The farmers
sent numerous delegations to the
county courthouse to confer with
Sheriff Art Tilton and County At
torney r. G. Rodman.
The strikers spokesmen refused
to end their picketing until the
sheriff captured the armed men
who fired upon two groups of
farmers Tuesday night.
The sheriff continued to keep
the courthouse in a state of
siege. A posse of 100 special
deputies, heavily armed, guarded
the building. They slept in the
courtrooms, sending out armed
groups to secure meals. The
sheriff expressed fear that the
farmers might yet attack the
building to avenge the attacks on
their own ranks.
Townspeople named five promi-
nent citizens as members of the
attacking group. County author
tiles were aware of these reports,
but took no action. Two of the
men named were special deputies
and we're at the sheriff's side in
every conference.

One Hundred Years Of Goethe

The observance of the Goethe centenary
is, of course conferred in that picturesque and
typically German town of Weimar, the CAPT.
tai of the Federal State of Thuringia. e.
Thurngia that nestles around the Tueringer
Valid. :. But it was with some feeling OF
pride that literary figures watched the entire
civilized world participate in the celebration
this week. From far-off Weimar the magic
Goethe has encircled the globe. While he has
been translated into many languages those
who really know and love his work remain
true to the German in which he wrote: He
must be read in that to be appreciated. But
isn't that true of all our great poets'
Goethe was fortunate in that he did not
achieve his fame as poet when his remains
had become part of the dust from which he
was created. He found firm friend and
good advocate early in life in the young
Duke Carl August 18-year old ruler of
SAKE Weimar. He it was who placed Goethe
in an official position and enabled him to
display the marked traits of leadership that
were so apparent in his every undertaking.
Even the prosaic duties of an official of the
duehy of Saxe-Weimar did not CRATE on the
artistic temperament OF 0oetne' ne was
even able to win the friendship and cooper
alton of that other great German literary
lion Frederick Schiller who at one time had
termed Goethe an egotist.
What contrast were the lives of these two
great Germans. The one seemingly touched
by some magic wand that brought riches and
honors aplenty; the other sehooled by hard
ships and always conscious of need of a
form of expression in his foreble writings.
The former was Goethe. the latter Schiller.
But these two found many things in common
back in their heyday. Both lived to see the
fulfllment of their aims and ambitions: to
see the other honored and admired as man
of letters. Johann Wolfgang Goethe will
ever remain one of the galaxy of immortals
who have inscribed their names on the pages
of literature.

Deporting Aliens

Connecticut has been selected by the u. S,
immigration Service as the first state in this
department drive to rid this country of
all those who are liable to deportation 1t
is estimated that there are $4,000 aliens in
this state alone falling into this classifica-
ton. This seems like a tremendously large
number to those who are of the opinion
that an alien. liable to deportation. is akin
to Communist. Red, or even foreign
born of the unedueated type who are not
conscious of any wrong in their residence
in the United States.
We'd be willing to wager that the ma
jority of this $4,000 estimate are people
with whom many of us associate in our daily
life and whom we regard as good citizens of
the U. S. A. Anybody who was at all
connected with the local and state draft
boards during the World War could vouch
for this, 1t is astonishing the number of
people with whom natural born citizens of
this country fraternze without even the
faintest realization that they are aliens. And
we mustn't conclude that this term alien i'm
plies criminal tendencies Nothing of the
sort.
Probably the federal survey Will reveal
that thousands of aliens are in this class
without even their own knowledge. They
may think that they are actually citizens of
the United States. Others. of course will
be ignorant of their status completely and
what's more won't care one way or the
other There will be still another class that
sticks to its citizenship in the country of its
birth and refuses to swear its allegiance to
any foreign nation, although using that ma
ton to secure a livelihood. 1t is this latter
class that will suffer when the federal author
tiles get busy.
Aliens who came to the United States be-
fore. July !. 1891. cannot be deported. but
= will be notified of . recent congressional
- which permits them to register now.

Stamp collectors were delighted to learn
that another commemorative stamp issue is
shortly to be placed on sale. The stamp. in
two cent denominations, will commemorate
the Goth anniversary of Arbor Day. Incl
dentally those interested in first day cancel
lations can secure them through the Post
master at Nebraska City. Nebraska, on April
II. where they will first be placed on sale.
Z This city was chosen because it was the
birthplace of j. Sterling Morten, at one
time Secretary of Agriculture and called the
Father of Arbor Day. The philatelie agency
at Washington will also offer the stamps
to collectors on April %. but will prepare
no covers for this particular issue. Judging
from the description of the stamp it is a
particularly attractive one with its white line
border. Nebraska was the first state to es-
tablish an Arbor Day, the Legislature pass
ing an act away back on April 10, 1872.
That act caused million trees to be planted
in Nebraska alone.

THE ROLLING TEST FOR BELLY-ToNE

Sorry there is not enough time to review
the last lesson to-day, children, but II anything
in to-day's lesson puzzles you at all, you might
dig up the paper for this day week and the Is
sue for this day fortnight and go over the first
and second lessons of the series on the role OIL
the belly as an organ of circulation
In modern practice we have some functional
tests which give much more information. In
some cases than physician can elicit In the
ordinary way A familiar one. which Is fairly
simple for the layman to understand is the
breath olding test. healthy person at rest
can hold his breath Az seconds or perhaps a
bit longer in some circumstances. II you find
YOU cant hold out for 40 seconds by the watch,
there's certainly something wrong with YOU
not necessarily your heart, but anyhow your
circulation Is inefficient and you ought to con-
suit physician about it, whether you can con-
jure up any symptoms or not. If you feel silly
about going to the physician for such thing
here is a perfectly good aibl-say nothing
about your little test, but just tell him you
want q general health examination by way Of
a check up or inventory. Then leave 1T to the
doctor to discover If there Is anything wrong.
For years have been advising folks to roll
somersauts regularly, night and morning, as
a first rate substitute for exercise A lot of old
fossils, lay and professional, have considered
this absurd Some of them, particularly the
professional ones have expressed themselves
in print in the medical journals about It. Still
keep on rolling rolling, right merriy-or
rather keep on keeping our readers doing
so.
Perchance few old subscribers will remem-
her the Brady Symphony-a set of exercises /
devised. A rendition Of the Brady symphony
consumed Is minutes a day, all told. One can
roll oneself a half dozen somersaults forward
and another half dozen or the same six back
wards in less than two minutes. l do not mean
to imply that 1t is possible to get the benefits
of Is minutes exercise from two minutes SOM
ersaultng. But in one way the Somersault-
auqua has it over the Synphony-guys who
won't work will roll their own and roll Is
better than loaf at any time. l commend the
somersault habit particularly to the older boys
and girls-the older you feel or look the bet
ter. But want 1t distinctly understood shall
not be responsible for broken necks. punctures
by hairpns safety other pins, loss of
meals or any other casualties. Before you try
somersaulting, you had better find out what
a somersault is, ano 1 don't mean Webster's
version. If you don't think the Somersault-
auqua silly business, write in and inclose
stamped envelope bearing your address and
ask for instructions.

not deportabie either. but these aliens cannot
become citizens. But aliens who have en-
tered since July /. 1924. are subject to de-
portation and we don't doubt but what
Uncle Sam will prove rather harsh and de-
eide to deport good many of them. Faulty
immigration records demand this survey. ae-
cording to department reports. And this
particular time was chosen because of the
thousands of natural born citizens who are
without jobs and even without money to
buy food for their families. Connecticut
with its many and varied industries should
be fertile field for operations. Suffice it to
say if there are as many deportations as ex-
pected there should be big pickup in en-
ployment figures in the next twelve-month
period. And everybody will welcome that.

Quiet Hours Needed

"A noise study has been made at the River
dale Country School, Riverdale 1.-the
Hudson, in New York state. Mental tests
were applied for an hour day throughout
a school week. The conclusion was that
loud noise is invariably detrimental, and that
moderate noise becomes so after a while.
By the end of the period every day. the
children working under the noisy condi-
tions were much more tired than those work
ing in quiet, and had done much poorer
work. The children who took the tests in
moderate noise did we'll for while better
sometimes than the children working in
quiet. 1t seemed to stimulate them to extra
effort at first. In the end, they became
tired and did very poorly.
One result of such experiments doubtless
will be to try to achieve normal quiet in
schools. Another should be to regulate
noises in the home. If school children in the
family do not have rooms of their own in
which to do their studying in quiet. the
elders should set apart certain period of the
evening when the radio is kept silent. There
are Youngsters who tell their teachers they
are so used to the radio now that they cannot
study without it. They are suffering from
an over stimulation of nervous systems.
They need quiet, even if they do not know
it, So. too. do adults who cannot carry on
social conversation without a radio back
ground.
