SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Cats and Canaries.
We yearn for revenges as time goes
along.
But We find that the weak never con-
quer the strong.
The cat and canary may quarrel at
will,
But the vigiant cat holds the victory
still.
The canary will sing in beautiful
cage.
In silence the cat will be nursing her
In firm expectation by night and by
day.
If This Cat can't get him, Another
Cat may.
It's tough to be singing this sorrowful
song.
A thought set to rhyming is frequently
wrong,
But Natural History proves to us that
There's neer a canary who swallowed
a cat.
Expanded Color Scheme.
Are you still enthused by the Blue
Eagle?"
Yes" answered Senator Sorghum.
But so far as my sentiments are con-
cerned, I have enlarged the color
scheme. It's the Red, White and Blue
Eagle"
Jud Tunkins says man who tries
to boss his wife falls down when it
comes to politics. He can't hope to be
a political boss in his own home.

PONT|FF WEEPS
At PR|VATION
IN RUSSIA

VATICAN CITY. Aug. IS
G.N.S0.-As stole as he is pious,
seldom does Pope Plus give way
to his emotions before friends or
strangers in his great audience
hall at the Vatican.
But, International News Serv-
ice learned today, the Pontiff shed
bitter tears not long ago when
one of his JesuitS stood before
him and recounted the plight of
the starving millions in Soviet
Russia.
Reports on Secret Visit
The incident occurred shortly
after the Jesuit returned to the
Vatican from a secret visit to Rus
Sia to carry words Of encourage
ment from the Holy See to Cath
olics and Christians of all creeds
in the land where religion has
been officially branded as "the
opium of the people"
The Jesuit told of the general
food shortage in Russia and de-
scribed how thousands of poor
people wander aimlessly across
the land in search of enough
black bread and dried fish to keep
body and soul together. The Pope
said:
eve fear then there will be
much starvation in Russia this
coming winter"
Said the Jesuit:
"MOre than ever before"
"HOw many do you think?"
eve have calculated that be-
tween 10 and IL million deaths
from starvation will occur in
Soviet Russia this winter"
AS these words were spoken, the
Jesuit was shocked to see tears
streaming down the face of the
Pope.
Plans Relief Crusade
At length the Pontiff recovered
from his emotions and dried his
eyes, but before the audience
came to close he discussed with
the Jesuit plans for sending hun
dreds of Catholics into Russia by
the fall of this year to organize
relief,

Scott, ace parachute jumper of
the Navy, retired from that haz-
ardous business today with a
twisted ankle, his most severe in
jury in the 298 jumps he has
made.
To hear Frank, though, it would
appear that parachute jumping is
quite sane business, after all.
While he recalls that his minor
ankle injury was his worst, he
points out that II automobile ac-
cidents he has experienced cost
him two broken jaws, a broken
collar bone and numerous broken
ribs.
And during the Navy daredevirS
experiences he has rested with his

After an absence of many weeks
because Of illness, Secretary of the
Treasury Woodin will return to
Washington to reassume his duties
shortly after Labor Day.
Treasury officials said today
that Woodin's health was i'm
proved and that he will be ready
for the hard grind in the four
months preceding the winter ses'
sion of Congress.
Among the chief problems before
the Treasury for Woodin's consid-
Grafton are currency stabilization,
initiation, the gigantic financing
necessitated by the recovery pro-
gram and the gold policy.
Sterilization Pressed
Great Britain and other coun-
tries continue to exert influence
for currency stabilization and the
general opinion prevailed that be-
fore many months the Treasury
must take up this question in a
serious way.
Under the policy Of the last few
months the Treasury is holding
off sterilization until the economic
situation appears to have reached
a comparatively substantial level.
Officials said that in addition to
the domestic improvement there
are certain signs Of more favor
able character abroad. Belief was
expressed that by 1884 the various
governments may be in a position
to adopt permanent economic
policies.
Americas decision as to the
gold content of the dollar will be
one of far reaching influence. 1t
may be possible to obtain agree
mentS under which all Of the
principal countries will return
to the gold standard at approx
mately the same time. Such a
program would have an interna-
tional sterilization effect.

NEW YORK, Aug. IS GN.S0,
Before the nation can get rid
Of racketeering, the alliance be.
tween gangs and municipal poll.
tics must be broken, United
States Attorney George z. Me-
dale, of New York, told the hear
ing Of the Senatorial subcommit-
tee on racketeering today. He
said:
$50 long as a group Of para
sites are in power, so long will
every large city draw on the
criminal element.
CITY MANAGERSHIP
'Men in politics have bust
ness connections and get profit
from city contracts"
Asked by United States Sena-
tor Royal S. Copeland, chairman,
as to what was the solution, Me-
dale suggested that permanent
local parties be eliminated with
their clubhouSes frequented by
gangsters. He suggested city
managership as a substitute.
Medalie criticized the SuggeS-
tions to suppress crime through
public whippingS and martial law
as "barbarty." He said:
"There is no need Of us
losing our heads over the
crime situation. Speedy and
certain punishment will ac-
complish the purpose"
Unanimous Verdicts
Commenting on the suggestions
of an American Scotland Yard,
Medalie said a Federal detective
force of 5000 men would be
needed. "This would be too un-
wieldly," he added.
Robert Daru. chairman of the
Federal Bar Association of New
York, New Jersey and Connectl-
cut, asked Medalie, a Republican,
If he had been interferred with
by politicians during his tenure
as Federal prosecutor. Medaile
said:

United States Attorney Howard
W. Ameli, of the eastern New
York Federal district, was called
next. He recommended unani-
nous verdicts by jurieS unneces-
Sary except in cases where the
penalty is death.

Presiding Justice Frederic Ker-
nochan, of the New York
Court of Specials Sessions, testi-
fled that the power of gangsters
would be removed if the protec-
tion of the local political district
leaders was taken away from
them. He said relationship be-
tween the politician and gangsters
had existed in New York city for
IS years.
The influence Of the political
district leaders "existS to some
extent, in the New York police

He added:

of the six years he spent in the Boil

And precisely at this time, when

the jubilee of two Of the most beau

he stood at the pinnacle of his
hopes Of uniting together all the
i-Bolshevist tendencies, frac-
tons and groups Of the social dem

his leadership against the Bolshe-
Wiki, who were headed by Lenin.
And secondly, the jubilee of the

Thousands in Italian
Town Beat Fascist
Officials

PARIS, Feb. 20-Severa1 thousand
unemployed workers demonstrated in
TRAM (Puglia) a town in Italy, and
marched through the streets to the
headquarters of the fascist corpora
tions, which they finally stormed
and wrecked. The fascist officials
saved themselves by flight, but not
until a few of them were roughly
handled.
Afterwards the demonstrating
workers again marched through the
streets shouting, Down with the fas-
cist urions!" Give us bread and
work." Collisions occurred with the
police and numerous arrests were
made Ten Of the arrested workers
are to be thought to trial.
The Eodesta Of TRAM hurriedly
promised and organized relief work
and now several hundred day laborers
are being employed. The unemployed
workers are jubilant at their victory.
Naturally, not q word of this demon
stration appears in the Italian press.
