IN the instance of certain men destiny seems
to exercise a protective guardianship; they
are almost miraculously preserved for spe-
cial purpose obscure beyond the comprehen-
sion of their felow-men. George Washington
was one of these. On the occasion of Brad
docks defeat the Indians concentrated their
aim upon the young Virginia colonel, but he
escaped injury. Sixtyfour British officers were
killed or wounded, and Washington was the
only mounted officer unhurt. Gusts, in his
biography of the hero, tells how a celebrated
Redskin chief said: :" Twas all in vain. A
power mightier than we shielded him from

advertising that he bought 5000 copies

Several former distributors Of the
Telegram previously had testified that
money from the sale of papers 20 Moore
was used to cover UP false circulation
IN their records.
The defendants-John Waters, Jo-
seph Finster and James Morrisey, for
mer and present Telegram of1cials, and
Thomas Dowling, Scripps Howard cir
cuiation adviser--are alleged to have
published a false statement on the cir
culation of the Telegram, a Scr1pps-
Howard newspaper.

signed to Offset the defense contention
that Telegram circulation padding was
the result of plot by Ola Scott, Tele-

LEAGUE URGES CONTROL
OF BEER PRODUCTION
Warns Against "Unserupulous''
Brewers and .Distillers in
Event Of Modification.

Production Of beer should be placed
under either Federal or State control In
event the Volstead act Is modined, it
was advocated by the Congressional
Districts Modification League in q pro-
posal made public yesterday.
The league In its statement announced
that it will continue to work for q
change in the prohibition law, but aaid:
I'VE believe that 1t was the avaricious
and unscrupulous business policy Of the
brewing and distilling interests previous
to 1918 that was more responsible than
any one factor in bringing about prohi-
bition In the first place, and even today
they are sitting on the side lines like
vultures, hardly able to wait until the
proper legislation is enacted so that
they can again swoop down on their
prey and bring about a repetition Of
the conditions which so disguised the
American people that they endured the
evils Of prohibition for IL years"

DEFICIENCY PLEA
MAY BE AVOIDED
Commerce Department Considers
More Furloughs to Make
Economy Grade.

The Commerce Department one OF
the five major Government agencies to
receive the full 10 per cent cut in ap-
preparations advocated by Senator Nc
Kellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, at the
last session Of Congress, will attempt to
get through this fiscal year without
seeking a deficiency appropriation, Sec
retary Chaplin said today
No move to get deficiency allotment
is contemplated at this time, the Secre-
tary added.
The McKellar cut applies also to the
Labor, Justice. State and Interior De-
partments.. In order to meet this re-
duction most Of these departments have
been considering imposing additional
furloughs above the general legislative
leaves upon employees.
Because of the low status Of funds
now available at the Commerce Depart
ment, it was explained by administrative
officials that additional or administra-
tive furloughs are now probable In the
Secretary's office, the Bureau OF Foreign
and Domestic Commerce and the Bu-
reau of Standards, affecting 1900 en-
ployes in Washington and in the field.
In fact, the so-called groundwork for
imposing additional furloughs of ap-
proximstely 10 to Is days in these bu-
reaus has been laid, it was pointed out.
The employees in these three agencies
are now having 20 days legislative fur
Tough pay deducted from their salaries
during the first half OF the fiscal year
leaving only 10 days Of this class of
compulsory furlough to be deducted
I, during the second half.
The f1ve-day additional pay-cut took
effect November /. Meantime, employees
not having taken their full 30-day leg
islative leave have been urged by de-
partment officials to do so at once so
that with the probability of having to
impose administrative furloughs during
the second half of the year, their alb
sence from their desks will not seri-
ously handicap the functioning Of the
department.

asked the question: To what degree
are the poor responsible for their pow
erty? The answer was: In only a
limited sense are they to blame. Clergy
men and teachers, policemen and social
workers agreed that they generally are
victims of circumstance. The depres-
sion, they said, is like a great con-
fiagration. 1t has swept over the world,
DESTROYING normal conditions every
where, leveling homes, hurting people.
The weakest, of course, go down first;
then the strong. Much of the resultant
suffering is concealed, much Of 1t Is
inarticulate. But when a crisis comes.
the secret cannot be kept any longer.
Then the relief agencies hear the story.
Victims Dislike to Ask.
"You can have no idea" one man
told me, how the poor struggle to
help themselves and each other before
they think of asking anybody else to
help them. They would rather be
beaten black and blue than ask charity.
1t is only when they are absolutely
desperate that they make any appeal.
My experience has taught me to re-
spect these people. That is what keeps
me from becoming discouraged When
conditions are so difficult"
A woman echoed the sentiment. Il
dare not be discouraged" she declared,
even when the people We are trying
to help are depressed ana hopeless.

even when the prospect IS dreary. -.
Unemployment, every one agreed, Is

the men had work, conditions would
improve Immediately.
So far there has been no irretrievable
loss. Should the economic tide turn,
the depression could be liquidated in
short order But the present need, as
I saw it at first hand and learned Of it
from others, is inexpressibly great. The
poor are suffering as never before IN
decades. To save them the Commu-
nifty Chest campaign must be successful.
Every penny that has been asked is des-
perately necessary If relief is to be given

that the st. Lawrence project would
mean burden of taxation. and Sena-
tor Walsh, Democrat of Montana. ques-
toned him about Federal expenditures
to improve Philadelphia's harbor and
channel
The witness agreed large amount OF
money had been spent for this purpose.

BELFAST, Northern Ireland, Noyem-

night the Prince of Wales, indulging a
truly princely impulse, slipped through
the elaborate guard provided for his pro-
lection against possible unpleasantness
and mingled with a cheering, celebrat-

Village.
The excursion became generally known
only this morning after he had packed
his golf clubs and set out, under heavy

Newcastle course several miles from the
city.
With that stubborn disregard for his
personal safety which characterized his

bearers pressed about him and there
was a cannonade from the barbaric
drums Of goatskin which boom through
such celebrations in Ireland.
There was a tremendous cheer when
the laughing Prince seized a pair OF
drumsticks and, banging them against
a nearby drum, contributed his bit to
the terrific din.
He had exposed himself to the very
dangers from which the police had
gone to great lengths to protect him.
The authorities had provided an un-
usually strong guard against the pos
sibility of attack by radicals responsible
for yesterdays demonstrations against
his presence in Ireland.
Come Back Again"
After half an hour or so the Prince
started back to the castle, the crowd
cheering him.
The house party which he had de-
serted was waiting at the gates, but
before he went inside the Prince was
boosted to the top Of the wall. The
crowd was still.
My sister told me about these drum
mers over here" he said, "and warned
me not to miss them"
Come back againI" the crowd
shouted.
"Oh, I'm coming back" the Prince
replied.
Then he went inside and the castle
