washington-Desp all wise- cracks, Ambassador Sumner Welles rates much higher in high places here than Secretary of the Navy Claude Swanson.
 Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull still have full confidence in Welles, even though Cuba's blood- less revolution took him by sur prise.
 But they hope the next Cuban trouble finds Swanson in Honolulu.
 Most newspapermen won't be. lieve 1t, but Swanson's visit to Havana on 0 cruiser had been planned two months before. He planned to call on Welles. A more tactfui secretary would have can- celed the visit when the trouble came, since Roosevelt was straining to avoid intervention or the semb- lance of 1t, while concentrating warships toward Cuba.
 Not Swanson. He made 1t appear that the crisis was taking him to Havana and somehow gave the i'm. pression that Roosevelt was send- ing him.
 State Department Complained.
 State department officials walled, Welies commented sourly over the telephone. Privately Swanson was described as an audience.loving ex. senator who had succumbed to the limelight's call. The White House saw to 1t that the cruiser stayed but two hours at Havana, that Swanson didn't disembark and that he was greeted not by Welles, but by mere secretary.
 Welles has been criticized for being "asleep" before the junta's coup. Actually, he had been warm ing the department in effect not Co be surprised to wake up some morning and find new crowd in power.
 Chance For the Marines.
 The well-known publicity itch of the navy for its marines has also given the diplomats 6 pain in tho neck. Cuban ship and troop move- ments were accompanied by c max. mum of ballyhoo.
 The job could have been done much more quietly. But there has been talk of disbanding the marine corps and the navy had been taken out of Haiti and the Virgin Islands. So here was 0 chance for the boys to strut their stuff.
 Simpsons Responsibility. Kenneth Miller simpson hopes his tombstone will bear the in- scription that he was one of the most patient men of his time.

 Walking along the dock, he mo- ticed at his feet a black and yell low striped insect. He stopped. stopped down. Could it be? Yes, it definitely was a Colorado beetle, the first ever found in the British Isles!
 He captured the beetle, rushed to a telephone booth, telephoned his chief at the Ministry of Agri- culture. Inspectors jumped into waiting automobiles and rushed to Tilbury. They examined the spot where the beetle was found. They began a systematic search of po- tato growing lots adjoining the docks.
 Two More Beetles
 On the third lot they found two more beetles.
 All the potato crop on that lot was destroyed. with the exception of a few stalks. left to attract any more potato bugs that might be around.
 An area of ten miles in radius around the scene of the discovery was declared an infected area.

We'd Protest, Too

State officials are doing some protesting about payment of $l4,5o0 to the Giants Neck Land and Improvement company. The state recently purchased some land from the concern to be added to the Rocky Neck State Park which was adjoining. The sum of $l4,500 was set as price on the land by Referee Leonard J. Nekerson. In the formal protest filed with the Attorney Generals office it was charged that the sum of $l4.5o0 was excessively high" and contrary to the evidence =.
 From this we can only conclude that the state sought to. obtain the land by eondem- nation proceedings or else it was necessary to invoke the law to set dp fair price. since neither party concerned could agree. With out the proper facts we may be doing an injustice to either party involved in the transaction. However. the land was taken by the State Park and Forest Commission with the purpose of enlarging the present popular seashore park at Rocky Neck. There were exactly one and one-third acres in the par eel taken. In view of this. it does seem as if $l4,500 is a tremendous amount of money to pay for less than two acres of land. It's well over $l0,000 an acre and that's high valuation.
 Such facts are obtainable as these. When the state bought the shore property at Rocky Neck it paid only $97,500 for 557 scres. That constitutes an average of little more than $175 an acre. Of course the work that the state park and forest commission 1lu raise the land valuation. The park is now one of the states outstanding ones, although this has been only its second season. It is as popular as Hammonassett Beach, although somewhat smaller, If all of these facts &C., count for the price of Sl4,500 on an addi- tional one and one-third acres the state does well to protest. If other factors with which the reading public is unfamiliar have resulted in this figure we are entitled to know about 1t,

Gone Democratic

Among the ancient institutions that have had good bit of their gloss rubbed of by contact with rough-neeked world during the last few years one must not forget to list the once snooty game of tennis. This game. which started way back when as an amusement for the nobility of Europe, has been carried along on the tide of events un- til now it is becoming diversion for the masses. much like baseball and football; and the sign of its change is to be found in the way the galleries behave at the big matches.
 If you have followed the newspaper &C., counts of the recent matches at Forest Hills you can hardly fail to have noticed that players. umpires and presiding officials were pained every so often by the efferveseence of the paying spectators. A one-time tennis queen was booed Justify when she walked of the court; shouts of applause punctuated all of the games, the umpires were obliged often to call for quiet, and the players pro- tested that the yells of the cash customers disturbed the Sabbath-like quiet in which the games were being conducted.
 All or tllS IS contrary 10 the ancient ulS- nity of tennis. You are not supposed to cheer loudly. or to administer the razzberry, in tennis stadium. A little refined hand elapping. now and then-thats the limit. But the crowd gets unruy, in spite of tra- dition. And the whole business is just one more example of the thing that inevitably happens to any game when it is trotted out of the seclusion of an aristoeratie club and made spectacle for the people at large.
 These big tennis matches make their bid for popular support. The stars are national characters in precisely the same way that star baseball players, golfers and pusilists are national characters. Some of them, for all the fact that they are amateurs, make a very good living out of the game. And they have precious little kick coming if the cash customers get noisy.
 When you court public favor, build big stadium and collect cash at the box office from all corners, you can't complain if the crowd behaves as it would at any profess sona exhibition. Lawn tennis. college foot ball. polo-al of these sports are being pro- fessionalized because they woo the crowds. If the sponsors of these sports are pained at the way the crowds act. their one remedy is to stop selling tickets.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Three Books For The Mystery Fan

One of the more entertaining of the current crop of mystery yarns is "Death Behind the Door," by Victor MacClure (Houghton-Mif- fin: $2).
 This tale has. to do with an Eng fish gentleman who opens the door of his cloak closet and gets shot through the hcart--aithough there is nobody else in the room at the time. The author let's you know who did the job, but figure out now 1t was accomplished Is something else again, since the william seems to have been out in the back yard at the time of the shooting. A va- cationing Scotland Yard man gets on the trail and solves things satis- factoriiy, and while the book isn't especially convincing it's ingenious and suitably puzziing.
 You might also enjoy "Murder in Bermuda" by Willoughby sharp (Kendail: $2). A lovely lady is found stabbed to death by Der muda roadside, and q corsage bou.. auet alongside the body Is found 10 contain Q stiietto. The Bermu- dan cops function with great ar- dor, and after they ransack q flock of tourist steamers they lay hands on the murderer.
 "The Case of Marie Corwin," by Gregory Dean (Covici- -Friede: $2), tells of the murder of . Broadway butterfly with matchmaking pro- cIivities. It's clover enough, but the various characters are dismayingly uniifeiike, and even the ingenious construction of the plot Is not enough to remove the curse which their woodenness puts on the story. Why is 1t 50 hard for mystery story.writers to create fesh.and- biood cons?

Yellow stone National Park is still per- haps the greatest attraction for the tourist in this nation. While we are expanding our national park and forest system we still are unable to match Yellowstones natural beauty or splendor. It is no wonder that it has been termed the nations circus park. When you stop to think of its side show attractions, such as geysers, waterfalls, boiling mud, hot springs, pelieans diving for trout bears climbing trees, you can we'll understand the term circus park. Yet in one respect it differs. To see the park in all its glory one must travel through it. Someone was discussing a trip through Yellowstone recently and pointed out that there are actually three gateways to it on the north, east and west sides. Experienced travellers who have visited Yellowstone not one, but many times claim that the entrance from the north is by far the best way to see the park. However, that is purely matter of choice, as one person might pre- fer just the opposite. But don't plan your Yellowstone trip for this season now. or you're apt to be snowbound. Wait until 1894 and wait until the park is officially opened before venturing into it.

Our Daily Washington Letter Joflnson's Anger at the Coal Code-The Saloon of
 the Future

He is the MIRA deputy adminis- trator whom General Johnson chose to handle the great steel, oil and coal codes-involving far more re- sponbility than any other deputy has had.
 A mining engineer and 6 metal urgist, simpson had on office in c lower Broadway building on the floor below Johnson's office while Johnson was working for B. M. Baruch. For years the two men were frequent luncheon compan- ions. Johnson picked deputy ad- ministrators from among personal friends whom he felt he could trust. Some have disappointed him.
 Oil His Hardest Job.
 Simpson is an even-tempered, soft-spoken conciliator who avoids hard- boiled, spectacular tractics. His toughest job was oil, which brought here everyone from the one-pump, hot-dog filling station owner to Standard oil Of New Jer. sey. His problems included the fight between the price fixers and the big company anti-price fixers and strife over marketing methods, plus an incredibly bitter fight over the use Of trading stamps.
 Another deputy who once sub- bed for simpson at the petroleum hearing involved with q pugnacious oil man, went up in the air and called for cops. Simpson went to the oil man, put his arm on his shoulders, whispered. The oil man smiled and quietly left the plat form.
 simpson's hobby is experiment and development in his metailurgi- cal laboratory at Columbia Uni- versity. He spends all his spare time there.

MORE "BossINGo NEEDED
(Meriden Journal)

Connecticut pioneered in the matter of requiring that detailed reports Of automobile accidents bc made to the motor vehicle depart. ment. That was ten years ago and that 1t was a good rule may be judged from the fact that New York state has just adopted 1t.
 Connecticut must have acquired an enormous amount of statistical information from which to study accident causes. Whether that study has been made and if so, what good 1t has done, is a ques- ton, for the state has more and bigger accidents than ever. In fact, changes made in the motor vehicle laws, which undoubtedly were prompted by the study of Q quar- ter of million accidents, have not been of any perceptibie benefit in reducing the highway toll.
 Incompetence and recklessness in motor driving prevails and there doesn't seem to be very much that can be done about 1t beyond better policing of the highways and more regulation at dangerous points. There are bound to be all kinds of drivers and the only way to keep many of them out of acci- dents is to keep them under re- straint.

London Letter
By HARRY FLORY
ted Press Stan Correspondent

United Press Stan Correspondent
 London (UP)-Britain has been invaded secretly and armies have been mobilized to repel the in- vaders.
 The invaders are of United States origin, but intelligence service reports indicate they reached British shores by way of France, where they have been mobilizing ever since the World War.
 Poisonous connections based on arsenic are the chief British de- fensive weapons.
 "POtatO Bugs"
 The invaders are known in Britain by the name of Colorado beetles. but in the United States they are more generally referred to as potato bugs" Such a de- scription is taboo here. where the Kings English prescribes that the word "bug" shall be used only to describe the bedroom variety.
 Three potato bugs have been found, -one on the docks at Til- bury, on the Thames, and two in a small vegetable garden nearby.
 All three have been executed and their bodies preserved in all cohol. But all the chronological staff of the Ministry of Agricul- ture has been mobilized to seek more and exterminate them as soon as they put in an appearance.
 The invasion Is "big news" in the British press. Communiques issued by the Ministry of Agricul- ture on the progress of the cam paign are given prominent posi- tions in the London daily news papers, in some cases accom- panied by artists sketches show Ing what the black and yellow striped enemy looks like.
 Discovered by Accident
 The invasion was discovered by accident. An entomologist on the stan Of the Ministry of Agrioul- ture research laboratory was on holiday in Essex. En route back to London he stopped for q day In TiIbury Co inspect the vessels in

When he observed deer caught in heavy mesh wire fence recently he stpoped his car to aid the animal. As he was working on its foot the animal kicked Mir Sehilling in the stomach with his free hind one. It knocked the good samaritan some ten feet Slightly unified Mir Sehilling returned to his job, released the animal, and then booted the beast right where you're supposed to kick.
