BILLY FRANKMAN We were
especially interested in the last
part of his adventure. We never
heard of eating lions before.
but then that is the lovely part
of Lloyd's adventures.
Good Books
And, by the way, we wonder
if he ever read a book called
swiss Family Robinson" We
forget just this minute who
wrote it, but it is all about the
adventures of q family ship
wrecked on a desert island. The
author had an imagination
something akin to Lloyd'S. He
could imagine ANYTHING.
We suggest that Lloyd land
other members of the club who
like shipWreck adventures get
the book and read it. OF course,
ALL of you have read Robin
son CruSoe," by Daniel Defoe.
Every boy or girl ought to have
read THAT book by the time
he or she is 10 years old or
whereabouts. It's Grand. All
about shipwrecks and every
thing.
Note-We called up the Pub
lie Library, and they told us
swiss Family Robinson" was
written by Johann Wyss. We
should have known, but some
time we can't remember ANY
THING. Do you ever feel like
that?

|NSULL MAY FLY T0 SAFE. REFUGE IN
 SOVIET REPUBLIC

ATHENS, Greece, Oct, 12,-Sam- uel Insull, former Illinois utilities executive, was released uncondi- tionally by Greek police, who had been detaining him in connection with proceedings for extradition to the United States to face charges in connection with collapse of his utilities interests.
 In contradiction to the state ment of officials that Insull was free to leave at any time, the U. s. Legation report to the United Stat es indicated restrictions on his freedom.
 There is possibility, it was ex- pressed at Athens, that MT. Insull might decide to fly to Soviet Rus sia, a country which has not been recognized by the United States and from where there would be no likelihood of eXtradition.
 At Chicago the statement was made that in some years the In- sull holdings returned a dividend 51 percent.
 When questioned by newspaper men, MT. Insull said that he thot he would be willing to return to America after the November cleo tions.
 Mrs. Insull was prostrated and was near col b)Se when she learned from her son that MT. Insull had been taken into custody the day previous, but was improved today in view of later developments. Mrs. Insull loves Paris and had planned busy social life.

LECAL|zED BEER BY
 MARCH 4 PREDICTED
 BY SPEAKER GARNER

NEW YORK, Oct. ,12,-Predicting that the country will have legaliz- ed beer before March next, Speaker John N. Garner added that the Roosevelt-Garner ticket will roll up the greatest majority in the history of the country.
 The Speaker visited Democratic National Headquarters before en- training for Albany to confer with Governor Roosevelt. Garner lunch ed here with Col. F. M. House, a fellow Texan, the unofficial am bassador of the late President Will son. Colonel House last spring made a declaration for Governor Roose- welt.
 Speaker Garner told newspaper men: T believe it distinct pos sibility that there will be some form of modification of the Vol stead Act to bring back a return of beer before March 4, or during the short session of Congress. My guess is this will happen because of de- mands of the Democratic platform and statements of D ocrati c CongreSsmen, many of whom are now up for reelection It is virtu- ally certain that the House will en- act such legislation. Of course, I cannot speak for the Senate.

q. MhRY'S LAMB
 HAS BECOME L|ON
 AGAINST 5. r. SQUAD

MORAGA, Calif., Oct, 12,-The lamb has become lion at St. Mary's College. The reins can be tossed away and the Gael is out to roar as loud and long as possible. This became evident at Moraga when Slip" Madigan declared:
 Against San Francisco, we are going out to get the ball and go as far and as many times as we can" In other words, there will be no let-up so far as the galloping Gaels are concerned. From now on, the dynamic coach of the Destroyers intends to put on the pressure and show no mercy.
 This, doubtless, was the reaction from the California game Satur- day, in which the Gaels were tied 12 to 12. St. Mary's was sent into the game without being tuned to a high point and probably with the thought of winning by only the narrowest margin. If that were the case, the error was apparent from the start.
 And Coach Madigan is taking no chances in the future.
