LAST DOWNFALL
 OF NICHOLAS Il
Marble Replica of Famous Czar Does Not Please
 UkrainianS

Korostan. .Ukrainia. Aug. 30.- (UP).-The downfall of Nicholas Ii, Tsar of all the Russians was pre- dicted today by inhabitants of this small Ukrainian town, who will hold a plebiscite next fall to de- termine his fate. The -Tsarist party had begun conducting an &C., tive campaign accompanied by hroadsides of pamphlets and con- siderable oratory, to depose the ruler who. with all his family. was executed IT years ago.
 For the benefit of the incredulous. it should be explained that Nich- olas still lives" in a marble replica. on a pedestal in the publisc square of Korostan. Despite the inhabit- ants loyalty to the communist regime. the statue has been per- mitted to remain "as a reminder Of the last of the tyrants."
 Lately workers and peasants have been insisting that Nicholas II should be hauled down from the pedestal. The issue became so grave that the district committee decided to hold a referendum on it.

United States Ls Not Pleased OuerGerrnany
Word Sent Across, About Payment of the Young and Dawes Plan Note, Is Not Satisfactory - Both
 Government Are At Odds

Washington, Aug 30.-(UP)- The United States is definitely dis satisfied, 1t was learned today, with Germany's recent note stating her position on payments of the Young and Dawes plan bonds which have been the subject of controversy since Germany declared mora torium on external debt payments
 Both governments still are al odds following Germanys agree ment to pay interest to British holders. This concession was made under a. threat of impounding Ger man exchange balances in London.
 The state department protested this action discriminated against American holders of the securities.
 The note was received from Ber- lin several days ago stating the German position in full. This po- sition, 1t was said, was in discord with the American attitude.
 AS a result it is possible that the United States soon may dispatch a new note to Berlin. Such action is likely to await the return of Sec retary of State Cordell Hull from vacation.
 While the German note was not made public, it was understood to point out that, to permit Germany to pay, some form of trade agree ment should first be signed, mak- ing it possible.
 AS indication of the United States attitude toward this pro- rosal 1t is regarded as significant that no trade negotiation with Ger many are contemplated now. This is true despite the fact that the state department expects within a few days 0 announce the names of several European and Latin Am eri- can nations with whom trade me- gotiations are under way.

Expects to Break More Records When He Takes

 San Francisco, Aug 3O-Califor- nia's democratic party shuddered today in fear of drastic schism as a result of Upton Sinclair's dramatic victory in his campaign for the party's gubernatorial nom ination.
 The ballots were hardly counted when the first strident notes of discord echoed.
 John B. Elliott, southern Califor- mia democratic chairman, issued a militant statement making clear he would not support Sinclair and hinting very broadly that Raymond Haight. who failed to win the re. publican nomination but goes on the ballot as a commonwealth can- didate, would be his man.
 Supporters of Justus Wardell, one of the original Roosevelt men, who ran bad third in the democratic race, Grumbled privately and said nothing publicly. Their silence even went to the extent of withholding congratulations form Sinclair.
 Creel Congratulates Him
 George Greet. who was SincIair's opponent, congratulated the winner but made no promise to support him.
 The Roosevelt appointees, both supporters of the McAdoo wing of the democratic party, however, pledged their help. They were H. H. McPike, United States district attorney and George Vice, United States marshal, in San Francisco.
 Party labels mean nothing" proclaimed Elliott in his announce ment that he could not support

 Leaders Predict Record
 Strike leaders predicted rec- ord turnout of workers, spurred by refusal of mill owners to meet in 11th hour conference in attempts to mediate. Recovery administra- tion officials saw in the strike the most serious threat to the national industrial recovery act, and defin- ite increase in the relief burden. Admittedly, the fuH extent of the walkout must await developments next week.
 Strike leaders and mill owners expressed fears that disorders would follow the strike call. par ticularly in the south where the South Carolina National Guard was called on to watch what Gov

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Aug 30.-UP)- Greatest labor uprising yet to be- set the New Deal - a walkout of 600,000 textile workers was scheduled to-day to begin at mid night tomorrow.
 Only issuance of the formal call remained to put the walkout in ef- feet. It will close more than 1,500 mills from Maine to Alabama, place tremendous new burden upon the relief administration and presage a possible serious short age of clothing later in the fall.
 While President Roosevelt at Hyde Park scanned strike reports closely and his aides in Washing ton confessed themselves unable to stop the walkout. union leaders ar ranged an impressive ceremony for the strike call.

BooTLEGGING STILL
FLOURISHES

We were told by the repealists,
that with the passing of prohibition
bootlegging, and the illegal sale OF
LIQUOR would cease Has it? After
some months of legalized liquor in
our country, here is what we are
told by Government official who is
in possession of facts:
Joseph H. Choate, Jr., Federal Al
cohol Control Administrator, de-
clares that bootleggers are outpro-
ducing and outselling legitimate dis
tillers and dealers.
He also asserts that the people OF
the United States are drinking more
heavily than in pre-prohibition days.
''As concerns liquor" he said,
"the United States is living in a
fools paradise. We know that pro-
hibition's Frankenstein monster, the
bootleg trade, is still with us, but
we refuse to see its size and power,
or to recognize what it has done to
us. the Government is losing more
taxes than it gets and. "a colossal
criminal industry, necessarily high
ly-organized, still exists and still ex-
erts it's debauching tendencies on
every Governmental agency"

FARM ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM

The Agricultural Adjustment Pro-
gram, as explained by DR.. M. F.
Thurston, economist at the Univer-
sity of Delaware, Newark, follows;
The program is based, he said, on
the general acceptance of he fact
that for some time farmers have
been getting an unduly small share
of the national income, and til at this
reacts unfavorably on the market for
Industrial products. The program
is therefore an effort to change this
distribution of income somewhat, to
the advantage of the farmer, and to
insure a more stable and regular
income to everybody, he said.
These ends are sought, under the
program, by limiting somewhat the
production of those goods for which
the rest of the population has not
been willing to pay generally remun-
erative prices, 70 rthe present. The
net result, however, will be to keep
them somewhat lower in the future,
since, by improving farm incomes,
farm life will be rendered more at
tractive, and fewer will leave the
farms This will also to some ex-
tent reduce unemployment pressure
in industry, he said.

MOTHERS DAY

Provision for adequate care for
mothers-to-be, as practical means
of putting into effect the honor and
reverence due all mothers, is urged
in connection with the nationwide
observance of Mothers ! Day. The
day will be celebrated on Sunday,
May 10.
Because of the precious memo
ries of the day arouses, each of us
wishes to pay our own tribute of
homage to the mothers of the past,
and present." DR.. ]. H. M. Knox, Jr.,
Chief of the Bureau of Child Hy-
giene of the Maryland State Depart
ment of Health said, for their un-
failing love and devotion, their self
sacrificing service, and their never
ending influence on our lives. But
those of us who are engaged in pub
lie health activities are thinking of
the third group, also-the mothers
to-be-when we urge that Mothers
Day be used as a starting pint for
efforts to make MOTHERHOOD safer
for all expectant motheis-the
mothers of tomorrow.
when we talk about safeguard
ing the health of the mother-to-be
and speak of adequate care for her,
we mean that she should have regu-
lar, medical supervision before, dur
ing and after the baby's brth. The
life and health of both mother and
child are safeguarded by such care.
The doctors throughout Mary
land are glad to give care OF this
kind to expectant mothers in their
own practice, but many mothers and
fathers do not realize the import
ance of such supervision during the
period before the baby arrives, and
neglect to secure it. And often both
mother and baby suffer the conse-
quences of this neglect.
"Clinics for the health supervi-
sion of expectant mothers who are
unable to employ physicians are
gradually being developed through
out our Maryland counties. They
are arranged by the County Health
Officer with the approval of the To-
cal physicians, and are held at some
central place, at regular time eacl'
month They have been very sue
cessful in helping the mothers who
have attended them.
up to the present, such clinics
have been established in nine coun-
ties-Harford, Cecil, Allegary, Cal
vert, Anne Arundel, Frederick,
Kent, Montgomery and Howard
and we are looking forward to the
time when some service of this sort
will be available to all women who
need it, in every part of the State"

HORN footing NUISANCE

EARLY morning horn-tooters" are
denounced by the Keystone Automo-
bile Club of Maryland as an intoler-
able nuisance and a menace to high
way safety.
Not only do they annoy the popu-
lace, the Club contends, but they
aggravate the condition of PERSONS
who are ill or suffering from ner-
yousness. Furthermore, The very
fact of horn-blowing is proof that
proper precautions are not being OBJ
served at street and road crossings.
Albert E. Buckley, Manager of the
Club in Maryland, expressed the
opinion that police should take def
mite steps to curb the horn-tooters.
eff motorists have so little regard
for the sensibilities Of their fellow
men as to make the night hideous
with horn blasts" he said, ''they
cannot complain if police act in the
interest of the public.
we can find no valid argument
in favor of horn-blowing at inter-
sections in early morning hours-or
at any other time, for that matter,
although the practice is particularly
obnoxious after midnight. A driver
who has his car under proper con-
troll has no need for sounding his
horn. When he resorts to horn
footing 1t is prima facia evidence
that he is depending on the other
fellow to stop. 1t is just too bad
when the other fellow also happens
to be horn-tooter.
MANY early-morning crashes re-
suit in fatalities because of the
speed at which cars are travelling
and the dependence placed upon
horn-blowing by nit-wit operators"
