TABLELAND FAIR OPENED
MPITTSBURCH YESTERDAY
Rivalry Exists Between Various
Counties AS To Size and Quail
ity of the Exhibits
GARRETT HAS GOOD SHOW

The second annual Allegheny Table
land Fair opened at Gimbel's in Pitts
burgh yesterday and will continue
through to October 21st. Hundreds of
entries have been received and CLASH
fed.
Great rivalry exists between the
various counties as to the quality and
sizs of the exhibits and from present
indications it looks as though the Fair
will be much bigger and better than
the first attempt last year.
1t has been agreed with the Fair
promoters that anyone desiring to eX-
hibit in the Fair, even though they
have not sent in their entry blank,
may still do so.
Many requests have been received
for the assignment of space to sell
various products from the Tableland
district, such as potatoes, apples, ma
pie syrup, honey, candies, baskets,
etc. These spaces will be provided at
Gimbel's and the exhibitor will be per-
mitted to handle their own transac-
tions without any cost or commissions
to anyone. This is expected to be
quite feature of the Fair this year
and anyone who has a quantity of any
particular product of the Tableland
district, whether home grown or home
made, can offer the same for sale to
the public of Pittsburgh. Last year it
was estimated that there were about
$4,000 visitors to the Allegheny Ia
bleland Fair at Gimbel's in the three
days. This year, it has been extended
an extra day, which will insure those
who are exhibiting articles for sale
that they will have this additional
time in which to increase their sales
over last year.
There have been many new classifi-
cations added to the premium list this
year, especially in the Women's De-
partments, which affords greater
opportunity for the women and chill
dren to compete for these prizes.
Capable judges have been secured
through the cooperation of Mr.. ]. M.
Frey, of the Agricultural Extension
Division, Pennsylvania State College;
DR.. T. B. Symons, Director Agricultu-
raj Extension Service, College Park,
and DIR. Frame, of the Agricultural
Service, University of West Virginia.
This will give assurance of impartial
judgment and all three states will be
represented.
Prize Winners Announced
Several Garrett county people were
awarded prizes at the fair which in
cluded more than 1000 individual dis
plays.
Among them were w. E. Spoerlein,
Oakland, and William Custer, Hoyes,
eggs; Mrs. j. H. Custer, Oakland,
Mrs. J. H. Carter, Oakland, handwork;
Mrs. H. A. Loraditch, Oakland, en-
broidered linens; Mrs. C. C. Beachy,
Accident, home cured ham.

200 IDLE MINERS FAMILIES
TO TRY HOMESTEAD PLAN
West Virginia Tract Picked By
Government for Demonstration
Area of Farms and Factory
SCHOOL WILL BE PROVIDED

Two hundred West Virginia fami-
lies, victims of long unemployment,
are to be established by the Govern
ment in the first of the subsistence
homestead communities, a demon
stration project in decentralizing in
dustry under the Roosevelt rural-ur-
ban program.
Arrangements have been completed
by the Department Of the Interior,
it was announced yesterday by Secre-
tary Harold L. Ickes, for the purchase
of an 1,100-acre farm in Preston
county, West Virginia, not far from
Morgantown, for the demonstration.
For Unemployed Miners
The farm will be plated for sub
sistence homesteads and will be set
tied by unemployed coal miners in
the area for whom prospects of re-
employment there have vanished.
Some, Secretary Ickes said, have been
without steady employment for five
years and more, and they have been
stranded with shifts in the industry.
The demonstration project calls for
construction of modest homes with
from two to four acres of land for
each family suitable for gardening,
fruit trees, poultry raising and the
production of other foodstuffs for
home consumption. The homes will
cost about $4,000 each and will be-
come the property Of the settlers I'M
der twenty-year purchase contracts
providing for small monthly pay
ments, low interest charges and small
down payment.
To Be Self-GOverning
The settlement will be self-govern-
ing with administration to be patter-
ed after the New England town
meeting plan. A school will be estab-
1ished which will also serve as a COM
munity center.
Settlers will combine subsistence
farming with industrial employment
following the principles of the rural
urban plan advocated as a step to-
ward increased security for both the
worker and industry by the President.

Burned In Gasoline Explosion

Kenneth Tasker, nine-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Victor Tasker, was
painfully burned about the face last
Saturday when the boy with lighted
match attempted to see how much
gasoline remained in the tank of an
old car stored IN the yard of a garage
on Third street. At first it was feared
that one eye of the lad had been de-
stroyed by the explosion.

Pay Prospects
In Government Service

Word comes from Hyde Park that President Roosevelt is
giving thought the pay cut which recently admins
tered to Navy Yard and that he believes adjust
ment will be made soon possibly next month.
This very encouraging not only to workers in the yards
but to all Government employees.
There is no question that the Navy Yard workers
shamefuy treated when they had half day cut off their
working week and full days pay deducted from their
wages.
President Roosevelt will do the sensible and honest thing
he sees to it that their pay is restored.
Although the President said to have expressed the view
that the action taken in regard Navy Yard workers is not
inconsistent with the national recovery program he is prob
ably the only Washington who reconcile the two
moves.
The declaration that the President considering the ua
to however and that he expects that steps will be taken to
improve the lot of the Navy Yard workers definitely
couragng all Government employees because it probably
the first time since the economy engued Washington
that the Administration has given indication of sweeping
back that wave.
OF course Mr. Roosevelt did not state that in September
October would take up the general problem of bringing
the Governments personnel policy into harmony with the per-
sonne policies which is asking private employers to adopt
Washngonans under the rules Of logic and fair play

President Roosevelt knows that in recent months the cost
of living has advanced tremendously

It is only natural that Mr. Roosevelt should permit the
Government workers salaries to keep pace with that advance
Those in charge Of the Presidents recovery program have
frequently indicated that the principal problem facing them
is that keeping purchasing power advancing in proportion
to the price increase.
Certainly under these conditions the return to higher stand

Jesus. Anton Lang made it
he who used to be the Christ in
the Passion Play Of Oberammer"
gau. It is not easy to be the
Christ in the Passion Play. One
must live the Christ all the rest
of the year: live His dull, labor
ing days. His gentleness and pa
tience and humility.
So Anton Lang lived Christ,
bending long hours over his
potter's wheel, trying to ex-
press his dear Lords love Of
truth and beauty in his simple
pots and jars.
But always there was some
small touch of loveliness-a
fluted edge, a honey-colored
glaze.
Then, presently, as his eyes
saw farther and his hands be-
came more deft, he attempted
harder, finer things. Until at
last he made this plaque with
Mary's head-deep ivory against
that dark and shining blue they
say she loved.
Such a noble face! So brave
and sweet, in spite of its great
pain! Uplifted, looking out: not
turned in on it's own dark trag-
edy as yours or mine might be.
Such strength in those wrung
hands, folded serenely on the
aching breast! All that she
loved hung, broken, on a cross.
And yet she still believed that
love was worth its pain!
Wise Mary! Proud, coura-
geous heart!
And so I've set her face upon
my wall-to help me be brave,
too. To help me never whlmp-
er when I, too, mourn for my
dear lost boy. A little shrine
to all who've loved and lost, yet
still are brave and proud.
Beneath the plaque, a narrow
board Of pine. And, on that
board, a tiny earthen pot that
holds my offering.
What can I offer her, who
was so fine and fair? Her lilies
do not grow in this harsh Wild
erness. There are few flowers.
Only the towering pines, great,
storm-gnarled oaks, and miles
of thorny chaparral.
"a lonely place. AS hard to
stand, sometimes, as those
pinched days with Joseph must
have been.)
No flowers. Then what is
there for a shrine?
you'll wonder, maybe. The
little pot Is filled with "moun-
tain misery"

Three-Minute Journeys
BY Temple Manning

La Concha-The Shell-from
its shape.
In the old part Of the town
is the beautiful Plaza de Ia Con-
stitution, lined with lovely old
houses. The balconies Of these
houses are all nu1nbered-a relic
of the time when the bull fights,
then held in the square, were
witnessed from them.
The Basque Country
The modern part Of San Sc
bastian is beautifully laid out,
with great avenues and boule-
wards straight, parallel and with
geometric crossings, like an
American city. But all these
thoroughfares are lined with
trees and flower beds, even If
they are business streets. The
architecture is very flamboyant
and rich, especially along the
Avenida de la Libertad and the
lovely Ahlerdi-Eder park.
Parks and villas connect the
outskirts of San Sebastian with
small neighboring villages that
are in marked contrast with the
cosmopolitan city; for the ham,
lets, villages and townships are
authentic Basque, with peasant
festivities, religious fetes,
dances and music.
It is delightful, after return
ing from a excursion into the
Basque country, to dine at a
fashionable hotel or restaurant
and then go on to the beauti-
full Grand Casino or the Grand
Kursaal. The Casino is espe-
cially lovely. Teas, dances,
dinners, concerts and theatrical
performances held there are
very popular, also those in the
glittering Igueldo Kursaal: but
much Of the best social life
centers round the Concha.

Shabby Quarters

For generations, President
and Congress have been
housed in sumptuous splen-
dor, but the great court,
the real ruler of this coun-
try, sat for more than 14O
years in shabby and con-
fined quarters.
It met first in the old
Royal Exchange, at the foot
of Broad Street in New
York city, when New York
was the capital, in 1890.
Then it moved to Philadel-
phia, to a building near In
dependence Hall. When the
fine new Capitol Building
was opened in Washington
in 1901, it was discovered
that no place had been
provided for the Supreme
Court. John Marshall had
to find quarters for it IN a
basement room. Then 1t
met in private house, and
later in a dark and stuffy
room in the Capitol.
But all the while it was
building the nation, cement
ing the loose structure;
often going against the ma
tional administrations Of the
day and the popular will
until it had welded the
framework so firmly that
it could withstand the shock
Of civil war.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

A new name, thatP Not
new to those who know this
wilderness. The commonest,
the lowliest of weeds. A small,
rough creeper, bedding thick
beneath the pines, with twist
ed, rusty stems, and pungent,
ferny leaves. Ground cover
tough as granite.
No Sleet can freeze its pene-
trating roots. No wind can
pierce it's tough, resistent bark.
The thunders roar. The sun
hurls it's fierce flame. Closer
the little weed clings to the
fertile soiI-cupping the moist
ure, sweetening the air, serv-
ing the life of giant oak and
pine.
And so I've put its leaves
in Mary's shrine.
I think she'll understand.
She was like that. Good
mothers always are. So SIM
ple-serving common, human
needs! Yet strong enough to
last through any storm. And
sweet-so sweet and patient
that their fragrance fills the
world.

has ever been since John
Marshall, old and weary,
laid down the robe of life.
The war in China turns
my gaze in this gallery Of
memory to the small, slim
figure Of a great Chinese
gentleman. He sits at ease,
in his apartment in tho old
Waldorf Astoria. Between
his lips in a phenomenally
long-stemmed pipe of ivory
and jade. Occasionally he
sips tea Of the fragrance
that millionaires could not
buy. He wears a close-fit-
ting jacket and voluminous
trousers Of heavy, crimson
silk, and his small feet are
tucked into crimson slip
pers edged with ermine.
Upon his head, over his high
and thoughtful forehead, is
a round cap Of crimson
silk, bearing on its front the
button of his mandarin's
rank.
His little, shrewd, a1-ob-
serving black eyes, like twin
jewels of jet, twinkle with
amusement as he BATTLES the
newspaper men with a vol
ley Of questions-the inter-
viewed doing the interview
ing. 1t is Mr.. WI Ting
fang, the Chinese Minister
to the United States in the
days when the Manchu EN-
perors ruled in the Forbid
den City at Peking. On
the day, when I made this
portrait of Mr.. WI, he made
a remarkable prophecy. He
told me that he feared there
would be no more China In
20 years to come.

There are in Europe many re-
sorts that owe their growth and
success to the fortunate circum"
stance Of patronage by royalty.
For example, it was the fond"
ness Of the late Queen Victoria
for Nice that really made that
resort, while King Edward did
much to popularize Bad HON.
burg and Marienbad as curative
watering places.
So it has been with Biarritz
and San Sebastian. Both Of
them grew quickly to interna-
tional renown because the Span
1sh royalties liked them. AL.
though the King Of Spain and
his family are now in exile, both
resorts have become so popular
that they are not expected to
suffer, now that the patronage
Of Alfonso and his family is Of
necessity withdrawn.
San Sebastian surely deserves
to be popular for it's own sake.
For it is one Of the most pic.
turesque and delightful resorts
in Europe. The fact that it suf.
fers from neither extreme heat
nor extreme cold makes 1t an all
year-round resort, and it is one
Of the most beautiful cities in
Europe. No wonder that 1t has
constantly grown, until 1t now
extends beyond the banks Of the
River Urumea.
New and Old Towns
The two parts Of the town are
connected by splendid bridges.
It has encroached, too, upon the
Cantabrian sea, to build prone
