TIE SECRET
 IS REVEALED

Fl Paso, Tex-(UP)-Tom Ford, who tends the Ritz Cafe bar just across the border from here in Juarez, astonishes all by his in- finite variety of neckties.
 For the barkeep never has been seen wearing neckpiece that anyone could identify as having been worn by him on any previous occasion. Either it's different tie, or he will not wear 1t.
 And for many years how he did 1t was fnysterly. Barkeeps are not especially in demand, even in Mexico, and especially is this true since these United States went on the waterwagon. So. it couldn't be that Ford was receiving a salary from which a daily deduction for a necktie made no appreciable difference.
 He received many letters. "Please give us the inside story on your neckties," wrote 8 California news- paper. What do you do with the ties after you've worn them 2"
 But the truth will out, and how the Juarez bartender hasn't been annoyed nearly as much since he revealed in a thoughtless moment how he wears a different tie every day and still manages to keep up the payments on the radio and the building and loan.
 He dyes them.

Mrs Martha (canfield) Dement,, former resident of Waterbury. died yesterday afternoon in the Bridge port hospital. Word of her demise was received here last evening with considerable surprise and shock by her many local relatives and friends. The deceased was a na- tive of Shenandoah. Pa, but came with her family to this city in early childhood. She was a graduate of St Thomas Parochial school and of the Crosby High school, being an honored student of both institu- tions. She was young woman of gracious personality and endowed with a gift for making friends. Her warmhearted friendliness and her widely recognized talents and virtues will be cherished memor- les among her many friends and admirers.
 Shortly after being graduated from the Crosby High school the deceased became secretary for the late Thomas F. Jackson, president of T. k. Jackson Company, who was awarded a medal by the Unit ed States government for his work as secretary of local draft board. second district.

And let that be remembered by those
frantic Japanese militarists who are

which the Manchurian adventure has

Mr.. Duranty narrates that "the ia

whole situation. The frantic Japanese

A dispatch from Hankow, China,

Hupeh which took terrible toll" OF
lives, several tens Of thousands of per-
sons perishing," The reports are SLOW

OF the province which is in the heart
OF China proper. The devastated re-
gton is only from fifty TO ninety miles
distant from Hankow, but twelve days
elapsed after the quake before the It'd

eastern section of Hupeh, north-south

it is altogether likely that the line has

again is a demonstration Of the fact
that China's central, northern and

portions as is the heart Of Africa from

This is the latest of a series OF dis

The gangsters gayly gather loot
And think 1t funny when they shoot.

And days that should be warm are cool.
The jokes too long. It's time to quit.

Old rivalries in Europe are seen to
be the chief cause of disagreement as
the Danubian Conference in London
fails TO accomplish anything in the di-
rection of progress. Comment In this
country, however, emphasizes the need
OF some future consolidation OF inter
ests because of intolerable conditions
that must be eliminated.
"An international conference. wher-
ever held and for whatever reason. "
thinks the Wall Street Journal, must
be understood to be only an innocent
game of chess. with no stakes. ThS
Danubian Conference followed the form
now prescribed in advance for such al
fairs by arraying the four great powers
attending it into the usual two groups,
each of which conscientiously avoided
Welding anything which might have
the awkward effect Of producing a
practical result. No responsible min
lister of state can afford to risk his Of
fee by returning home from talk
fest to report that he made conceS-
sion"
The whole situation Is described by
the st. Joseph Gazette with the state
ment OF the conflicting interests: The
French plan for an economic federa-
ton among the Danubian states
Austria, Hungary. Jugoslavia, Czecho-
slovakia and Rumania-origlnally ig-
nored Germany, but looked to Great
Britain and Italy for support. Great
Britain brought Germany into the Lon
don parley, well knowing that the
scheme had no chance of success unless
Germany. the largest single trader with
the Little Five and the political parent
of Austria was consulted. Virtually the
only hope of accomplishing anything
was found in the desperate plight OF the
Little Five-so desperate that 1t was
gravely feared financial collapse would
result. with worldwide repercussions
ensuing. And now this hope is fading.
although the ravages of tariff wars In
Southeastern Europe continue unabated.
The French want to keep the peace
treaties intact, and would like to re-
establish the entente. The British would
like to reconstitute the old balance OF
power, with themselves the chief bal
ancers. The Germans want the treaties
revised and the way cleared for the re-
constitution of Mittle Europa. Italy
wants the treaties revised that she may
expand. And so every project, no mat
ter how local and pressing 1t may be,
Is swamped between these irreconcilia-
BILE aims"
"One remembers" says the Birming-
ham Age Herald, the truculent obJec-
ton registered by France when the
German-AaGtxian customs union was
broached. Here were two peoples closely
allied in speech and blood who were TO

But Paris said, No and had its way
The Age Herald adds: Nov France

In which Austria is included. In short,
Berlin now has confirmed its suspicious

Having the money whiplash, France Is
seen as trying to lure the AuStrianS into
a bund against Germany. In any case,
IL kept on the outside, the Germans
would gain nothing from the Danubian
union. Therefore, they oppose it. For
the same reason of exlusion Italy de-
clines to approve the enterprise. Under

Heading Off a Stampede.

If presented as the only alternative
to a straight pay cut, it is probable
that the Presidents plan for modified
fve-day week in the Federal service
and an enforced vacation without pay
would prove the more acceptable. AS
the President says. it establishes the
five-day-week principle, maintains the
present salary scale, protects the low
est of the low-paid employees and pro-
vides a method by which thousands
Of employees, otherwise threatened with
loss of jobs entirely, may be kept in
service. These are undoubtedly ad-
vantages over the pay-cut plan.
But it is yet to be demonstrated that
either the drastic and arbitrary pay
cut, or the enforced vacation without
pay, which might as well be candidly
described as a pay cut in disguise, are
necessary. The revenue bill has not
been enacted. The total revenue to be
produced from taxes remains a matter
of conjecture as long as fundamental
principles of taxation, yet unsettled, re-
main in doubt. The appropriation bills
are only getting started through Con-
gress. But what has become obvious
to everybody now is that the rela-
lively small saving to be effected
through cutting governmental salaries,
a saving that will probably be less than
fve per cent of the budget, is throwing
into the background the far more i'm
portant savings to be brought about
through well conceived plans for elm
mating waste by combinations and
amalgamations of various bureaus and
establishments engaged in kindred
work
Is it worth while thus to jeopardize
the whole economy program by bringing
up this salary business? 1t will prove
q subject of continued controversy, as
the increasing number of those who
oppose this sort OF economy will fight
against it to the last ditch. The Presi-
dents economy bill has already brought
a sharp reply from Chairman McDuffe
of the House Economy Committee, who
challenges the estimates Of savings and
thus centers attention on fight be-
tween the legislative and executive
branches of the Government, instead OF
on the unanimity that exists between
them on other phases Of governmental
economy.
The Federal salary scheme should be
Hdetracked and put out of the way,
considered only as q last resort against
contingencies that have not, as yet, pre-
sented themselves. There can be no
constructive economy in deluding en-
ployers throughout the Nation into the
belief that through cutting down wages
business will be revived. There can be
nothing more disastrous at this time
than paniclike rush to tear down
the vast governmental machine In order
TO remove some of the parts that may
glitter too much in these dull times.
Some of the moves to reduce govern
mental expense resemble q stampede
more than anything else, and the re-
sulting dust is already assuming omi-
