CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. "a
Peter Rose took his pet cat,
Tootsy, to his camp at Billerica.
When Rose was ready to start for
home, Tootsy had vanished. So
after futile search, Rose motored
home alone.
For three days he kept three
motherless kittens alive on a con-
densed milk diet. Then TootSy sud-
denly appeared. She had found her
way home from the camp, dis
lance of twenty miles.
IF I didn't have such confidence
in her" observed Rose" I would

CALIFORNIA ENGAGES
IN SWAP BUSINESS
State Emergency Food Chiefs Use
Plan to Provide Relief.

By JHitcd Press
SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. 22.-
California has gone into the whole
sale swapping" business.
AS a result, relief agencies are
in good shape generally to face what
is expected to be hard winter, -
according to state officials.
The swapping bureau actually
is the state emergency food admin
istration, which has moved more
than 1000 tons of foodstuffs into
relief channels during the last few
months, a report revealed.
The plan particularly has been
successful because the state has been
able to obtain foodstufTs at salvage
prices and move the products by
means of donated trucks.
BY means of the system, the adj
ministration is able to take an over
supply of potatoes in one district
and trade it for fish or rice in an
other.

The agreement provides that:
The 10 per cent deduction shall
continue until Oct. 81 next, when
it automatically shall terminate,
and the full basic wage shall be re-
stored, unless there are changes
provided meantime.
Neither side shall file notices of
intention to modify or extend the
deduction or to change the basic
rate of pay before next June Is.
Any proceedings seeking change
shall be under the railway labor
act, between the roads and the
unions collectively, and shall be
handled to conclusion as ex-
peditiously as reasonably possible"
The agreement followed almost to
the word an eleventh-hour proposal
by the rail managers, submitted
when the conference seemed
doomed to failure.
Give-and- Take Decision
1t was give-and-take by both
sides, since the managers previous
ly had insisted on a six months ex-
pension, and the workers on a
years continuation of the present
agreement.
The plea of the railroads had been
that their precarious financial con-
dition made a further wage re-
duction imperative. The unions had
countered with the assertion that
conditions of unemployment and
part-time employment already had
enforced more than 20 per cent re-
duction in workers pay.
Approximately 1900 6 n l
union chairman sat in the joint
sessions in the mirrored grand
ballroom of the Palmer house. Their
expenses for the full ten days they
were approximated 100000.
Worn From Ordeal
Drawn faced and worn from the
ordeal, the conferees broke into
smiles as the agreement was Of
ficially signed at 1880 a. M There
are handshakes all around, and the
signatories left to snatch few
hours sleep before leaving for their
homes all over the country, each
intent on getting home by Christ
mas.
During the first year of the agree
ment, it will have meant 5000, 000,-
900 reduction in rail wages.
During the nine months extension,
due to reduced employment, the
amount the workers surrender will
be between $125, 100000 and $780,
100000.
Between the lines of the final
agreement, as between those of each
proposal and counter-proposal, was
the read the hope of each side that
a revival of railroad business would
come to the rescue before another
wage battle is necessary.

New Stumbling Block.
While the war-debts problem is a
major one right now. its ultimate
consequences are not as far-reaching
as are those of the Manchurian con-
flict pending between China and ia
pan.
Events have shown that the League
of Nations Council, the League Nine
teen-POwer commission, and the
League General Assembly all were
unable to cope with the ASiatic stu
ton. So, finally the matter was re-
ferred back to the commission whose
members the other day joined in a
lllNltllS Tic OHIlSu CCutSo
and Soviet Russia to become members
of special international Cancellation
board.
Up spoke Japan: No, nothing doing.
Japan most certainly would not have
the case adjudged by states not men,
bers of the League! 1t was clearly,
at this stage, League affair, and
Japan would not admit American and
Russian competence to act: either the
League must act, or no action could
be taken, at all.
So Japanese diplomacy once more
effectively has blocked the way. What
the next step will be, no one can say,
but it may be repeated that Japan re-
mains in Manchuria, her position there
becoming stronger each day while the
rest of the world sits idly and help
lessly by. There is at the present
moment no indication that Japan will
be forced to forfeit her gains

On " ODaley
am4A pnunA ASSOCIATION ssnA

Washington, December 21-Unless
there is a sudden change in tactics a
special session of Congress in the
early spring will be inevitable. The
recess this week for the holidays dis
closes that the Senate has achieved
little or nothing in legislation with
even routine business suspended in
favor of empty talk-fests. Debate has
been shut off in the House with the
resulting passage of important appro-
priation bills and a few emergency
measures. Nearly all committee meet
ings have been postponed until the
new year. 1t has been difficult to
muster a Quorum as the ''lame-ducks"
or defeated legislators are devoting
more time to searching for profitable
connections than handling the public
business of their constituents.
There is an aspect of the current
economy i'm government" movement
that seldom appears on the surface.
1t is the five-day week for all work
ers. This is the specific objective of
labor unions and their friends in Con-
gress. The advocates and opponents
of the proposition have plausible argu-
ments. The chances favor the adCp-
ton of the five-day week by indirec-
ton. Representative LaGuardia of
New York, a Progressive Republican,
Socialist, let the cat out of the bag
in opposing further paycuts for gov
eminent employees. His idea is to
70 in
ceptance by closing post offices, in
ternal revenue offices and customs
houses so industry could not function
only during the prescribed period. H.
stead of the Biblical injunction of one
day of rest i'm seven it may be neces-
sary to take another.
While the Congress is taking steps
to curtail appropriations for the null
titude of Federal agencies. it is not
giving serious thought to revenue
measures. OF course, the proposed
legislation for a beer tax is the eX-
ception. 1t appears that this pro-
posal will be substituted for a gen.
eral revision of income tax and other
measures at this session. There is a
wide difference of opinion as to the
yield from a beer tax. Repeal plans
have been put aside in favor of the
beer and revenue" idea which in a
way meets the mandate of the recent
election. The 'drys' are fighting
against what appears as overwhelm-
ing odds. This group will make its
last stand in the Senate where pro-
tracted debate is scheduled on the
modification of the Volstead act.
Few people realize the double ad-
verse effect of the depression on gov
eminent affairs. 1t has been estab-
lished that a slump in taxable in

comes is usually followed by increased
demands for Federal monies in emer-
gency relief projects to stimulate un-
employment or alleviate suffering.
The fact that President Hoover in his
annual message definitely recon-
mended manufacturers excise tax
as basis of Federal revenue
automatically precluded its enact
ment at this term for political
reasons. Mr.. Hoover refused to
endorse the plan last winter and
his conversion to the idea came too
late. Yet it is in the cards that a
sales tax of some sort will be drawn
as the present taxation scheme has
been proven inadequate to the govern
ment's need for money. The Federal
deficit piles up five million dollars
per day.
Interesting items to taxpayers and
other citizens revealed at Congress
sional hearings or in special reports
of Federal officials: Banking laws
will be materially changed after the
Senate makes up it's mind on the
Glass bill i'm January. Farm income
| is smaller than a year ago by con-
siderable amount. Estimated decrease
in individual income taxes for 1882
will reach AZ per cent-a mark of
hard times. Taxes on tobacco have
declined less than any other major
| revenue source. The mortality rate
of failures is much greater among
small banks than among the banks
with larger resources. There is lit
tie hope attached to proposals to cut
Congressional and other Federal sal
! aries 25 per cent. President Hoover
| will continue to send nominations to
| high office to the Senate knowing full

ASKOV HIGH SCHOOL
NOTES

The AskOv high school will have
its second annual homecoming on
Thursday, Dec. 80. AS was announced
before, the Alumni association will
hold it's meeting on the same day. In
the evening the high school boys and
girls basketball teams will play the
alumni boys and girls teams. n
lunch will be served by the Athletic
association after the game. Candy
will also be sold by the association
during and after the game. The mon
ey taken in at this time will be used
to defray the expenses of the Ath-
letic association. 1t is expected that
annual event, and plans are being
laid accordingly. The d. b. S. hall
has been secured especially for this
occasion. See details in ad else
where i'm this issue.
The Glee club presented its cantata,
Our Glorious King" Sunday evening,
together with the play, "A Sign Unto
You which was presented by the
Young Peoples Society.
The staff for our newspaper, THE
Crucible," has been selected, and the
first issue of the paper will appear
today. This will be the second edi-
ton of The Crucible' and we sim
cerely hope it will be equally as sue
cessful as the first.
The high school students have de-
cided to go back to the old custom of
giving each other gifts this year.
Names were drawn Monday. 1t was
decided that no one was to give a
gift of any higher value than five
cents and it was urged that the stu
dents make the article if possible. 1t
is also planned to have Christmas
tree.

vealed our opponents winners by a
girls score of 10 to ID, and a score
for the boys game of 36 to %. After
the game the Askov representation
was invited to the school dining room
where an energizing lunch was
served. With Supt. Brandes as toast
master, speeches were given by cap
tains, coaches, and superintendent,
and finished off with yells in charge
of the cheer leaders. SOciability and
friendliness ruled the evening.
Thursday evening the Askov boys
will go to Hinckley to play the Brook

this year. They have all their prac-
tices on the Hinckley floor.

Mutual Recognition.

Far-East troubles have not become
less complicated than before as a
result of the step taken few days
ago by the governments of Russia and
| China: Five years ago they broke Off
diplomatic relations. Now they are
restored, largely as a result of the
Leagues inactivity in the Chinese
Japanese dispute.
This mutual recognition on the part
of the Soviet and China strengthens
the prestige of the latter power, and
cially because Toxic really had be-
| lieved that, in a pinch, Russia was to
be depended upon as a sort of Japa-
nese ally. This latest MuscOvte move
has proved the first disappointment
Japan has suffered since the outbreak
of the conflict with China.

for the League of Nations Council to
ponder. The joke of this is that
right now one of the arch enemies of
British policy, canon DeValera, pres
ident of the Irish Free State. is pre-
siding over the discussions of the

but, just the same, it is tiny bit
irritating to the London government
which seemingly had forgotten that
spiteful DeValera is in charge.

Asiatic countries in oil production
