BORAH STILL HOLDS SENATE SPOTLIGHT DESPITE PARTY'S
 CRUSHING DEFEAT.

Washington-Sena Borah of Idaho apparently is imperishable.. Anyone else in his present position would be likely to be sunken in prestige, shorn of power, virtually q dead duck.
 His own tenure good for four more years, he went through the presidential campaign without de- claring himself, abdicating strong position of personal leadership. He will soon lose his powerful post as chairman of the Senate Foreign relations committee to democrat. The voters of Idaho have just told him to go chase himself. He per- sists in progressively identifying himself with lost cause--pr0hibi- tion.
 But does anyone predict that he will become. and less a vital force in congress in public life? Is there Q single sign that he Is in any de- gree fading from the picture? Does he receive any less attention than of yore? Not yet.
 Insofar as anyone can foresee, he will be the same old Borah, with the galleries filling rapidly whenever 1t is known that he is going to speak, with the newspap- CT correspondents piling eagerly into his offices for his famous daily three o'clock conference, with mils lions in this country and in foreign lands still regarding him as an oc- cepted oracle.
 It may even be that the old lion from Idaho is entering into the peak period of his career, despite the fact that the party to which he gives titular allegiance will be in badly outnumbered minority in the next senate.
 He seems almost certain to play the star role in the dramatic last stand which the drys will make against modification of the Vol- stead Act and repeal of the Eight eeenth Amendment. He can't win, but he can die rather gloriously-- and. In all probability. with undi- unfinished prestige. He may turn out to be the fatal barrier in the path of the vets when they sat- tempt to jam through q beer bill during the short session.
 The other day he declared him. self so vigorously against the sales tax. another prospective source of storm and strife, as to leave little doubt that he would be found in the forefront of that bat

DISPUTE BETWEEN HUNTERs
Bridgeport Telcgram)

[ NAShf061pVAb LOASbhahJ
 Members of tho Connecticut State Fish and Game association in their annual meeting at Bridge port the other night .'started some thing" by proposing that those on horseback after foxes be re-' of $250 if residents of the state and $500 If non residents.
 The roar of disapproval which came from the members of the Hunt clubs which center around Fairfield and Litchfeld counties was fullthroated and enthusiastic. While the baying of the hounds might have added touch of local color 1t could hardly have irn- proved the volume.
 Here is a situation likely to make the hunter snickcr up his sleeve. For the Ash and game en-, thusiasts want foxes exterminated as rapidly as possible. They look upon foxes as "vcrmin."
 The horse -and hound enthusiasts on the other hand regard tho fox as a noble animal, to be hunted. of course, but not exterminated. Since each fox destroyed is one fox the less, 1t might be supposed that their efforts would be approved, on the whole, by the other hunters. But such is not the cnse.
 It is apparent that the hearings before the next session of the legis. iature will resound with the cries of tho chase.
 Of less controversial nature were the recommendation of Game Commissioner T. 1T. Beck of Wil- ton that the commission be given authority to use its Judgment in cx- tending or recurring the various open seasons, according to condi- tons. The game laws of Connecti- cut are fixed by each session Of the legislature. Very often it hap pens that owing to natural condi- tons kind of game which Is pro- tected by q closed season will show q super-abundance while another kind of game will virtually disap- pear.
 It seems only common sense to give the game commission the right to adjust the seasons to suit con- ditions as they develop.

Longer Life Hopes

In St. Louis, at the 22nd clinical con- gress of the American College of Surgeons. Dr. George w. Grille stated his belief that if medical science continues as it has begun, the expectancy of human life in future gen. erations may be as high as the biblical limit of threeseore years and ten. It has already been raised from less than 20 years to 58 years. The medical world is concentrat- ing now on greater control and mastery of infectious diseases, notably pneumonia; on further understanding of diseases of the heart and arteries, and solution of the mystery of cancer. When these goals are achieved, as nearly as is possible. the average life span will be considerably advanced.
 At the same time professor of medicine of Johns Hopkins University declared that there is little scientific evidence that the ex- treme span of human life can be materially increased. His somewhat pessimistic view on the fact that medcical science today is saving in infancy weddings who succumb more quickly to the diseases of maturity, while little can be done for the old. Thus average life expectancy will be brought into somewhate stable position. It may be. however that the same research and pro- gress which have prolonged infancy and youth may eventually succeed in similarly prolonging middle age and old age.

ANOTHER NATURE MYSTERY
(Hartford Timcs)

tI1AFtAuTu luucbJ sM5
 The old. familiar matter of the Indian summer controversy came up again few days ago when Baltimore and Ohio tribe of h. dians was leaving the White House and to newspapermcn confided that:
 have found in my travels around the country that there' is nation wide confusion. as to when Indian summer begins and when 1t ends. I believe such confusion should be ended, and came to solicit the presidents help in get- ting through congress a bill defin- ing Indian summer and establish- ing by law a date on which 1t be- gins and when 1t ends.
 We scarcely can believe that Mir Willard Is of New England ances- try. In New England we understand only too well why 1t would be al- together impracticable to attempt fixing by law q date for Indian summer. It seldom 0ccufs for the same days of two consecutive years. Occasionally Indian summer breaks, with haziness and unsea- sonable warmth, as late as mid December. Sometimes 1t begins in September and then disappears being succeeded by cold. raw, or wet weather constantly until after Christmas, or even longer.
 Any pleasant, hay. uncommonly warm weather experienced after the September equinox and before the December solstice, can correct ly be dubbed, "Indian summer" It is an extremely broad and truly occasional term, Indian summer. How the name originated is more of an enigma than undertaking to explain the dates. Why should such weather belong to the Indian, par- ticulariy? Why not q Dutch sum. mcr, or a some other summer? Probably, 1t may be suspected, be- cause the Indian grass Is brown after early autumn and the 1n- dian-like shocks of corn stand in the fields which are adorned by haryests which the Indian gather cd in his day. while the smolkiness of the atmosphere and the mild touch of the day lend color to TO- mantle dreams of a countryside once peopled by the American 'aborigtnes.

It no longer is necessary to drink liquor to derive any pleasure from it. say Dr Leon Meunier of Paris All you have to do; the eminent doctor declares, is to inhale the perfume of the liquor and then roll small quantity of it around your tongue. The taste buds are exhilarated and that is all that even swallowing great quantities of liquor will do. In addition this practice is said to prevent hang overs and next-morn- ing headaches.

One of our state forests was hard hit by late season forest fire when flames ravaged stands of timber and underbrush in the Tunxis State Forest. It was too bad that there should have been some confusion as to the exact location of the fire. Both Massachusetts and Connecticut thought that the fire was on the others territory. The Tunxis State Forest lies quite close to the boundary line and in points probably crosses the line. There is an adjoining state forest in the Bay State. Fortunately the timber burned was not too valuable.

Payment OF

Continued From Page One)
sold about 375,000,000 ounces of sill
yer derived from the demonitiza-
ton or debasement of silver coins.
Of that amount about 200,000,O00
ounces were marketed by govern
ments now indebted to the United
States and over 1O0,00O,OOO ounces
by the British government for In
dia. "It was these sales" he said,
(which did more than anything else
to cut cut the market price of sill
yer in half"
The Senator estimates that to re-
store the silver coinage of the deb
tor nations to nine-tenths fineneSS
and to bring about monetary use of
silver in such nations equivalent to
that which existed prior to demoni-
tization and debasenent, would re-
quire the purchase of at least $780,
100000 ounceS of silver. He assumes
the debtor nations, under his pro-
posal, would pool their purchases
SO the price of silver would not be
unduly enhanced by needless COM
petition among them.
Acknowledgements due the United
States for the next ten years, under
the foreign debt moratorium, will
be $269, 9,976,571. "If all the foreign
debt payments were made in silver
said Senator Hayden, "the United
States would acquire 1,079,906,284
ounces of silver during the four
year period" He recalls that the
world production of silver has av-
eraged about 25O,OOO,O00 ounces en-
nually for the past ten years;
therefore to pay off the foreign
debts to the United States in sill
yer on the ounce-for dollar basis
would require about all the new
silver likely to be produced during
the four-year period.
In 1900, when Congress provided
that all forms Of money issued or
coined by the United States should
be maintained at a parity with gold
the estimated stock of gold in this
Nogales international., 1932-05-04

country was $1,034,384,OOO and the
stock Of silver was $648, 5,00G. On
June 80, 1881 our stock of gold had
increased to $4,955, ,921 900 and our
monetary silver stock was $848, ,578,-
600. Should all foreign debts, for the
next four years, be paid in silver.
the Senator says the relative pro-
portion of silver money to gold in
the United States would still be sub
stantially less than it was in 1900
AS to what will happen to the
price of silver after 1886, when the
arrangement provided for IN the
joint resolution comes to an end,
Senator Hayden savs by that time
the European nations indebted to
the United States will have aband-
cned the flight from silver in
augurated in 1920. ''They will all
have much greater interest in be-
coming parties to an international
agreement respecting the use of
silver as money. If the marketable
silver of the. world is placed under
control by governments which will
share in it's use for coinage pur-
poses, there will be no difficulty in
stabilizing the price of that metal
after 1886"
This government, in the opinion
of the Senator, is not now con-
cerned as to where the silver, used
for debt payments, may be produced
so long as it is purchased in the op-
en- market. Our immediate and pri-
mary concern should be the crea-
ton of demand for surplus Amer
lean products in that half of the
world where silver is the basis me-
dium of exchange.
The text Of the Hayden res0lu-
ton is as follows:
SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION
To authorize payment of foreign
debts in silver under certain limita-
tions
When offered by any foreign Gov
ernment indebted to the United
States, the President is authorized
to accept in payment of the whole
or any part of any amounts due the
United States, prior to July l, 1886,
silver at the rate of one and one
half fine ounces for each dollar
which such Government is obligated
to pay to the United States; but
Nogales international., 1932-05-04

no such payment shall be accepted
unless such Government gives as
surance, satisfactory to the Presi-
dent, that it will not melt or de-
base it's own coins to make such
payment in silver:
Prov3 3ded, That if any such Govern
ment shall make provision Satisfac-
tory to the President, for restoring,
prior to July /, 1886, al of it's silver
coinage to a fineness of nine -tenths
silver, or, if cuch Government does
not now mint silver coins, for es-
tablishing the use of silver for coin
age purposes, then the President is
authorized to accept silver from such
Government as the rate of one fine
ounce Of silver for each dollar of
it's indebtedness paid in accordance
with the terms Of this act. The sill
yer so received shall be coined in
to dollars of standard weight and
fineness and deposited in the Trea-
sury of the United States and sill
yer certificates shall be issued, II
the manner now provided by law,
against the dollars so coined.
