in 1892 he became guardian of new type of prisoner. "The Pris- oner of Zenda" established his fame, became a best seller, induced him to put away the law books and revel in romance.
 We may praise or censure Sir Anthony Hope-the King gave the Sir and he removed the Hawkins for the deluge of -kingdomed novels which flooded the book marts of past decades and the TO- mantle light opera which persists as the musical comedy, of today. Rudolf Rassendyl and Rupert of Hentzau became the prototypes of innumerable dashing figures. But none of the limitations had the fine flair of the originals. Anthony Hope could infuse humor into a melodramatic plot. His books struck the mean between the high brow and the lowbrow. His only adequate rival was our own Booth Tarkington, whose Monsieur Beau caire" might stride by the side of Rudolf Rassendyl.
 Though Anthony Hope strove manfully in later books with seri- ous social topics, he remains known primarily for his Zenda cycle. And his recent death will be mourned Eby all who have wandered his dreamiand of splendid uniforms and noble loves.

CONNECTICUT GOES OFF THE
 CONCRETE STANDARD
(New Britain Herald)


 Connecticut has gone off the con- crete road building standard. Where once most of the road im- provements(w were concrete, work on gravel roads has been multiplied 100 times while work on the hard- CT surfaced roads has been more than cut in half. That was the rec ord of last year compared with 1928.
 The change has been due to the Town Aid act and the decline in highway department income. When the rural regions of the state shook down the state for funds to be used in improving subsidiary highways 1t was the harbinger of vast change, greater change than was anticipated. Just at that time the Hoover prosperity didn't show up around any of the corners in- dicated and the income of the road improvers dwindled. But the towns got theirs. And the town roads got their platings and widenings.
 The last report of the highway department indicates the change in figures. For instance:
 There has been a distinct change of trend in highway building in Connecticut during the last half dozen years, 1t is found in a com parison of the figures with those of 1928. In that year, of total of 1S0.43 miles completed 89.18 miles were of concrete and 8S.50 miles were of macadam. Only 2.12 miles were grayel' and the balance mis- cellaneous. Last year, 200 miles were gravel and only 1880 miles were concrete and 52.32 were ma. cadam. Work on gravel roads has thus been multiplied one hundred times and work on the harder sur faces has been more han cut 1T half.

 Paris = (UP) What virtually amounts to free sightseeing trips to Berlin for Sarre residents are provoking concern among French officials.
 Eighteen months hence the League of Nations. a commission of which now governs that rich basin territory. will hold a plebis- cite to determine whether 1t wishes autonomous government. union with France, or union with Germany.
 Propaganda Scheme
 Officials here assert that the German governments offer of round trips to Berlin for 10 marks (about $2.25 for a trip 600 miles) is an ingenious propaganda scheme to win over Sarre residents to voting in 1885 for German rule. In support of this they point out that the price of transporting anyone from Sarrebrucken to Ber- Hin and back, even in, fourth-class carriages over government-oper- ated railroads. is more than 10 marks. Charges thus far unsubstantiated also are made that Nazi leaders | in the Sarre are offering the same | trip for only five marks, provided that those who accept the offer

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.

One out of every twenty-five business and industrial
concerns went into bankruptcy during the past three
years and of every six banks has been closed
But the churches colleges and hospitals survived
the depression far better than the coanys business and
financial Institutions
Only one out of every forty four-year colleges has
been closed because financial lack OF every forty
ise hospitals, and only one in every 2}44 churches
These figures are given in q study made by A. G.
Marts president of Marts and Lundy Inc Of New York
which he announced recently to the Southern Methodist
Educational Association
Two main reasons for this survival record given
by Mr. Marts, we read in The Reformed Church Mes
senger:
~The first is that our churches colleges and hospitals
been far conservative in their expansion plans
than business.
Business has usually borrowed money for expansion
and the aggregate debt business and industry is we'll

stitutons usually raised the money before they

sequeny there is only 10 per cent aggregate debt on
all 10000 church edifces and only per cent ag-
gregate debt the property and endoWments of oar
$50 colleges.
"Indeed the churches colleges and hospitals which
are in the financial difficulties today those which
violated the conservative practices and borrowed money
for new buildings. They having desperate strugg e
to maintain their work and service their debts"
The other chief given by Mr. Marts for this
survival record is the unseldsh attitude of minister's col
ege presidents and faculties and hospital employees
Many h2ve initiated cuts in their salaries to meet de-
creased income quickly and enable their institutions to
survive.
