New York-Just outside the broad, rust-red entranceway to Carnegie Hall a concert goes on nightly that is not to be found on the Manhat- tan program lists during the music season.
 The virtuoso is "Cap'n John." His instrument is a squeaky, over shrill Arkansas fiddle. His roper toire is made up largely of old- fashioned hoe-down tunes.
 Now a person less shrewd than Captain John would consider twice before selecting this particular set ting for his sidewalk concerts. After all, the crowds leaving Car negie have been spending a couple of hours listening to the worlds great masters. Perhaps they have heard symphony, a piano recital or famous violinist.
 When they exit, their enthralled eardrums are ringing with fresh memories. And then = squeak! squeak-in the cold street outside the cap'n Is waiting.

 Hundreds of families living in Bangkok could give reason for building such homes. Living be- side the Menam river, which over- flows it's banks each year, they do not want to wake up in the midst of morning bath.
 Some of the other people of Bangkok solve the problem by living abroad houseboats. When the river rises, their homes rise just as much.
 1t would be a mistake, however, to think of Bangkok as just a col lection of houseboats and houses on-stilts. Away from the river, out of reach of the flood waters, are many weH-built homes. Bang kek has been called "the city of green and gold" and also "the Venice of the East" Like Venice (and also like Amsterdam, Hol- land. and Stockholm, Sweden) 1t is cut by many canals.
 Bangkok Is the capital of Siam, country almost as large as France. It is the home of about 1O,O0O,000 persons. Many of the people are of pure Chinese stock. and most of the others are related to the Chinese.
 Siam has been called "the Land of the Yellow Robe." This name refers to the yellow robes worn by are many thousands in the country.
 Another name for the country is Land of the White Elephant" For hundreds of years, people in Siam have looked upon white elephants as holy animals. If we may believe an old record, war was fought between Siam and a nearby country over the owner ship of such an elephant, four centuries ago.
 White elephants are not so white as whitewash. Their skins are of light gray or grayish- white shade. They are "albino" elephants. More than 16,00O temples in Siam bear images of elephants. Ordinary elephants in Siam are put to work. In a recent year, the number of tame elephants used for labor was $500. A full-grown Indian elephant can carry a load. resting on his tusks, of half q ton.

Albany. N. Y. (UP)-The late Jack Gegs) Diamond, gangster, received more space in an Albany newspaper during 1881 than Cover nor Franklin D. Roosevelt, possible presidential candidate.
 Interest in Diamond was in- creased by the fact almost every important incident in his career including his death by a barrage of bullets occurred in or near Albany.
 He was rubbed out in a cheap rooming house here; two of his trials involving the Kidnapping of a Catskill truck driver were held at Troy; an attempt on his life was

GRAF ZEPPELIN IS OVERHAULED

Friedrichshafen. -lUP) - The Graf Zeppelin has been put into winter quarters. With the return of pr Hugo Eckener from Berlin. following the Aero-Arctic session in November. brief landing maneu- yers were carried out, after which the veteran airship was placed in her hangar. In the meantime. complete overhauling and tnspec- tion will be made.
 The year was busy one for the Graf. A total of 73 trips were made, totaling 117.761 kilometers and 1901 flying hours, It brought her total number of journeys since her completion at the end of 1923 to 232 with a total distance cov- cred of 349,827 kilometers. She has spent 3.5S8 hours in the air.
 The most important achievement of the Graf in 1881 is considered her three South American trips since they demonstrated the feasi-
 bility of a punctual, regular line between the two continents. pr Eckener believes they probably will be repeated next year. per- haps the number of journeys in- creased. That depends. however, on the results of discussions with | the Lufthansa offlcials and with German postal officials, some of
 whom took part in the 1881 trip
 The rest of the 19S2 program has not yet been arranged. nor Is II
 certain that second Arctic journey
 will be undertaken.

THE BAR MAKES A CHOICE

Convinced that voters are entitled
to know which candidates for District
iu~dgeships are best qualified by abil-
ity and experience for this office, law
yers Of the Fourth judicial district,
comprising Douglas, Washington and
Burt counties, have joined together
under the Lawyers Recommendation
Committee to secure the election OF
nine district Judge candidate approved
by majority vote of lawyers Of this
district several months ago following
the spring primary.
Louis j. TePoel has been named
active manager of the Recommends
ton Campaign Committee, which en-
dorses seven Of the present judges,
William A. Redick, William G. Hast
ings, Charles Leslie, Herbert Rhoades,
Arthur C. Thamsen, James M. Fitz-
gerald, and Frank Dineen, and two
other candidates, Chief Deputy Coun-
ty Attorney John w. Yeager and John
IT, Dysart, who has previously held
offices Of county judge and county
attorney.
"a group Of the most prominent and
esteemed lawyers Of Douglas, Wash
ington and Burt counties are serving
voluntarily on the Recommendation
campaign committee in an effort to
remove the judiciary from politics and
place it on the high non-partisan bas-
is, where it rightly belongs according
to the laws Of Nebraska" said Ray
mond G. Young, general chairman OF
the Recommendation campaign COM
mittee.
"We believe that in making known
the facts brought out by our referen-
dunn ballot, which was sent to every
lawyer in this district. the lawyers
will be rendering a distinct public ser
vice to the voters Of this district.
"The Referendum was taken with
the thought that lawyers, having a
more intimate knowledge and being
more familiar with the qualifications
Of their brother members of the Bar,
who seek q position on the Bench as
judges, than r the voters generally,
should make this knowledge Of and
familiarity with the Candidates avail
able to the voters" Young said.
"Ths committee chosen by the law
yers to, direct the work of bringing
these facts before the public is not or
ganized and prepared to enter upon
an active, vigorous campaign so that
the public generally may be advised
of the Recommendation Of those who
know the candidates best" said A. G.
Ellick, Chairman Of the Lawyers
Recommendation executive committee.
"There was no prejudice or favor
shown in selecting the hine candidates
who were chosen in the judicial Refer
endurn. They are there because the
vast majority Of lawyers Of the Fourth
district felt that they deserved this
recognition on the basis Of their
records" saAy - .
