PLANES BECOME
 FAVORITE TOYS

London (UP)-The favorite toy of the British boy this year is the airplane.
 Girls, instead, are showing de- cided predilection for American made unbreakable dolls. : The victory of Charles W. Scott and Campbell Black, the British aviators, in the London-M Melbourne air race, is responsible for the boys enthusiasm for aviation, executives of leading department stores iil London told the United Press.
 British children are mostly pac.- fists. Lead soldiers, guns, battle- ships, submarines and other war fare toys are selling just as any other toy.
 Doll sales have increased more than 200 per cent-the largest vol ume since 1913-one department store reported. The toy business is closely connected with the demo- graphic situation, it was said. Tn" increase in the British birth rate in the past five years has been a major factor in the present boost in sales.
 Mechanos, electrical toys. Mick ey Mouse games, Three Little Pigs and Big Bad Wolf puppets are also best sellers.
 Ninety per cent of the toys are British made. The remaining 10 per cent is divided equally between the United States and Germany.

Omaha, Neb. (UP)-Warhoops and Indian tom-toms soon may be heard on the campus of Omaha Municipal university as the result of contest for the most appro- priate outline of Indian ceremonies that could be worked into the uni- versity's social and athletic pro- gram.
 First presented to the student council by members of the alumni association. contest board head ed by Dr W NJ. Halsey, first dean of the university, has been ap- pointed to consider the plan.
 Backers point out that the school should adopt a plan em- bracing ceremonies of the Omaha tribe, principally because the uni. versity was founded on the spot once used as settlement by Chief Big Elk and his tribe of Omaha
 Students of tribal customs point out the braves were divided in four classes-freshmen Woodpeckers; sophomores, Ducks; juniors, Owls, and seniors, Golden Eagles.
 One plan under consideration calls for a freshman initiation in which the novices would wear green gourds worn by the tribal members.

PIN PRICK RUIN
 NOSE OF SAINT
Brides=to=Be in Brittany Destroy Organ FOllOw=
 ing Traditional Custom

Ploumanach, Brittany (UP)- Saint Guirec, patron saint of the lovelorn, has lost his nose.
 According to tradition, maidens desiring to be asked in marriage will have their dreams fulfilled if they piously and prayerfully prick Saint Guirec's nose with an ordin- ary pin.
 The saint at first had wooden statue erected to his memory, but the daily pin-pricking soon demol- ished his wooden nose completely. He was given still another of this type of nose, which met with the same fate. Finally, ecclesiastical authorities decided to end the busi- mess of the Breton saint always los ing his nose, so they erected a granite statue and equipped it with an even larger than natural nose. Obviously, it resisted the pin bricks much better, but was not equal to withstanding 300.000 bricks per year and gradually decreased until it now has disappeared complete ly. The esthetic harmony Of his face has been destroyed and Bre- ton maidens are pleading for a new nose for their honored saint. Among the legends grown up about Saint Guirec and his mirac- ulous powers of finding husbands for the lovelorn, are three rules he is said to have originated: First. that "a perfect woman should re- semble a snail. which never leaves it's house: but she should differ from 1t. never seeking, like It, to have the final word. nd third, shc should, like the town clock, be ot perfect regularity; unlike the clock. she should refrain from making her voice heard all the time. If the maidens live up 70 these rules and prick Saint Gui- rec's nose daily, he will send them a husband.

Industry To Cooperate
 In lnRecoDeryMoDement K
National Manufacturers Assn Pledges Adin Fight for
 Social Security and Political Stability

New York, Dec. 7.-(UP) .-In- dustry placed recovery before re- form today in pledging cooperation with government to insure social security, political stability, and economic progress.
 A platform of recovery was adopted by the National Association of Manufacturers and the Ameri- can Congress of Industry at con- cluding sessions which clarified and united. industry's attitude bee hind a definite policy. A balanced budget, dependable federal rev., enues and curtailed expenditures were placed foremost in the pro- gram.
 Congress was called upon to en- act a modified national industrial recovery act to replace the one ex- piring June 16. 1885. Freedom for business, a cardinal point of the entire program. was called for to. the extent that industries desiring codes should have them and those opposing should not have codes forced upon them.
 An independent court of five members was recommended to ad-. minister the revised act. It would have power to .approve or disap- prove codes that have been volun- tarily submitted by a truly rep-' resentative majority of a given in- dustry."
 "The new act" the recommenda- tions said. should require every code to contain suitable provisions concerning hours and wages, pro- hibiting child labor, safeguarding both labor and employer by giving labor the right to deal with em- ployers individually or collectively or through representatives of their own choosing"
 Regarding labor relations, the. program asked that employees should be protected in their right to work; that boycotts, blacklists, lockouts strikes and sympathetic strikes be prohibited; that policies attempting to force workers into specific labor organizations should be stunned, and that local settle ment of disputes be encouraged.
 The plank of social security de- clared tpat industry was ready to approveA sound program for com pulsory unemployment insurance. but that fears of wrong solution were holding back business recov- cry. It urged appointment of a commission by President Roose- welt to plan a comprehensive na- tional program for security includ- ing old-age pensions.
 Industry, labor and agriculture should be represented equally on the commission with a neutral chairman representing the public, the plank said. Any plan of federal subsidies to states adopting their own unemployment insurance pro- gram was opposed.
 An introduction to the platform declared that the onlw sure road to securityl stability and progress was to promote reemployment Of labor and capital in private enter- prise. Rigid adherence to sound policies was called the best way to build confidence.
 Any impression" it said. "that American business has been on a strike is prepostrous. Nor is there any ground for the assumption that American business asks license to go its own way regardless of it's so- cial obligations. Business desires that dishonesty and abuses shall be | prevented and that comfortable

 Committee agents said Japan ob- tained designs that enabled her 10 duplicate American products os which experts worked months to perfect. Other nations in Europe and Asia, it was said, bought se- cret processes from the United States.
 Tnvestigators told newspapermen they were prepared to show that high army officers sanctioned such Transactions. Arms manufacturers, they said, contended that sales abroad were necessary to maintain capacity production in domestic plants.
 The committee planned to re- turn to testimony concerning chem ical dyep development by the Du Pont company of Delaware.

 Raushenbush sought to show that Du Pont officials in 1921 con- ducted vigorous publicity cam paign for protective tariffs to pre- Serve domestic dye industries for Irrational defense.'
 Documents taken from Du Pont files showed that U. S. newspaper correspondents abroad were en- couraged to send cables from Paris and other European capitals de- picting conditions favorable to American chemical companies.

PASTOR BALKED
 AT HUGE SWORD

Carmarthen, Wales (UP)-Ap- parently there's no telling what win get the goat of some militant anti-war campaigners in Wales these days. Even mayoral sword ofsstate can be calculated to arouse their ire.
 Carmarthen, once the home of Welsh princes, possesses a hefty sword in a wooden sheath which is carried ceremonially in front cf the mayor on state occasions. This local Excalibur is several feet long and needs pretty strong man to carry it. It has the added distinc- tion of having been presented to the town by King Henry VIII.
 Quite a sensation was caused when the mayors chaplain. a local minister. served notice on the mayor that he was a member of an anti-war organization, and as such wiMid not allow the mayoral sword to be brought into his chapel when E1fs Worship the Mayor attended service.
 Nothign daunted, the mayor re- forted that rather than park the sword of state outside any chapel he would not go i'll procession to service at all. He also pointed out that King Henry VIII. when he gave the sword to Carmarthen, stated that 'it shall be carried in front of the mayor in manner as iss Accustomed to be done in our City of London"
