INTEREST SHOWN
IN DEPRECIATION
TALK WEDNESDAY
Continued From First Page.)

returns have been excessive, there
has been an important change in the
attitude of the Treasury Department
concerning allowances for deprecia-
ton. Treasury decision 4422, which
sets forth the new policy of the
Treasury, is not entirely clear, but it
is certain that many business men
and corporations will have to pay
more tax because of the change.
Accordingly, business men, as well
as accountants, have become depre-
ciation-minded in the last few months
and great interest is being shown in
the Wednesday meeting when the
new policy will be discussed. The
principal talk on the subject will be
given by Henry B. Fernald, a New
York certified public accountant who
is an acknowledged authority on taxa
ton. Mr.. Fernald is a member of
of the United States Chamber of
Commerce and chairman of the Tax
Committee of the American Mining
Congress. He is charter member
OF the National Association of Cost
Accountants and was formerly presi-
dent of the New Jersey Society of
Certified Public Accountants.
The meeting will open with a din
aer at $50, the technical discussion
beginning at 7:30. All accountants
and others interested in the subject
of depreciation and Federal taxes are
invited to attend.

BONDS ARE FIRM
UNDERU.S ISSUES
Cheerful Background Is
Maintained, With Irregu-
Iarity in Evidence.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, November 1.-THE
continued firmness of United States
Government securities provided the
bond market with a fairly cheerful
background in today's brief session,
although generally there was consid-
cradle irregularity in evidence.
Some of the utilities and rails ex-
hibited a rather heavy tone, appar-
emily in sympathy with the stocks of
these groups. Various induStrials,
however, moved up under the influ-
ence of reports of improving business.
The activity was little more pro-
nounced than normally for a two
hour day. Transfers totaled $7,62l,-
600. par value, against s5,918,OO0 last
Saturday. Governments accounted
for about $2,37O,0O0 of the aggregate.
The Standard Statistics Co. average
for go domestic corporate loans was
of one-tenth of point at 84.3. On
the week this composite showed a de-
cline of three-tenths of point.
In the Federal list, Home Owners
Loan 2a4s reached another peak at
96.7. up 1O/32ds of a point Treasury
"CAC IllC IllOSl d(llNC Will d gam
of 5/32ds. Although Federal Farm
314s, Treasury As and Liberty first
and fourth 4As we're off slightly, the
remainder of the Governments held
advances of 2I32ds to 9/32ds.
Among the company divisions.
Murray Corp. 6l2s jumped 37s points
to 98A. Small gains were recorded
by issues of Armour & Co.. Chicago
& Western Indiana, Detroit Edison,
Goodyear. Interboro Rapid Transit
and Phillips Petroleum.
Losers of fractions to around a
point or more included some loans
of American Telephone, Brooklyn
Union Gas, Consolidated Gas, Utilities
Power & Light, Southern Pacific,
Frisco, Chicago & Northwestern, New
Haven, International Telephone and
Missouri Pacific.
Foreign obligations were quiet and
mixed. The Australians edged up to
new years tops and bonds of Copen-
hagen and Cuba improved. Polish and
Argentine issues were somewhat re-

More InsuIar Possessions

Now that Uncle Sam is just about ready to hand oyer all claim and title to the Philippines to it's native inhabitants we read that more insular possessions are be- ing urged Rather than adopt stern 'tac- tics in reckoning our war debt install- ments with such defaulting nations as Great Britain, France, etc, we are urged to accept Bermuda in lieu of cash. Un- fortunately we don't persume that Great Britain Would cede Bermuda to us any more than she would the Dominion of Canada if this were possible.
 French islands in the Caribbean Sea are also recommended as payment, as we'll as other British islands there. Prime Minister J. Ramsay Macdonald doesn't seem to think we'll of any such arrange ments as this in interviews with the press. General Charles Sherill of New York, former ambassador to Turkey, declared there was precedent for such action m the acquisition of the Danish West Indies, now known as the Virgin Islands. We always thought that Uncle Sam paid Dem mark $20,000,000 for them.
 However, we do agree with the general that Uncle Sam was one of the few credi- tor and victorious nations that by the Versailles treaty failed to increase It's ter ritorial possessions. France and Great Britain gained quite 6 bit of additional land by the treaty. Perhaps this is what Secretary of State Cordell Hull was hint ing at in his last war debt note to Eng. land when he stated that payments need not be in money, As to acquiring Bermuda, we'd be almost afraid we might make It the "poorhouse" we did of the Virgin Is. lands by bringing them under the nationnl prohibition act and running century old rum and bay-rum industries.

Arthur J. Patton

The death of Arthur J. Patton ends remarkably altruistic career The profess sion he chose to follow was one which always helped the other man. He was by trade or practice surveyor. But the mere work of sighting angles running boundary lines, establishing markers, etc, was not enough for this man whose death has just occurred. He was so vltally part of Waterbury that he contributed to it's rapid growth and development as residential center built around It's many and varied industrial beehives.
 When better maps of Waterbury were wanted or contemplated 1t was to Arthur Patton that officials or individuals turned. He made what has long been re- garded as the first really complete map of the city back in 1902 He was spared long enough to improve on that first venture by the publication of more up-to-date and modern version in 1883. It will long be considered the real guide to the city, It's streets and other physical features, such as are combined in map-making.
 Although not native of Waterbury Mr Patton lived more than half his life Tn the city. He came here just before the turn of the century and to cement his first acauaintance produced the map referred to above in 1902. He built for himself fine reputation in his business. He was genuinely liked and respected by the many people with whom he came in contact or for whom he may have done work. It will be many years before his work will be for gotten in our midst.

shortly we win be able to read 1t In the history books. As Congresses go. this one was not much different than others. It was predomlnantly democratic and natur- ally predominantly democratic measures were passed. It showed distinct ten. dency to do pretty much as President Roosevelt desired, although there were some signs of rebellion towards the close
 The administration program fared well at it's hands. True such important legisla- ton as the St. Lawrence seaway treaty was defeated, but on the whole there were some worthwhile bills pushed through There were also few that should have been put through, but which were held up by party leaders for fear of inter. fering with the fall elections. Such social legislation as old age pensions, unemploy- ment insurance, and the like were conspic' uous by their absence.
 There is little likelihood of much change in the present lineup of Congress when it convenes next January. No matter how much they may talk about the failure of the New Deal or the lack of enthusiasm for the NRA 1t is pretty apparent that President Roosevelt is still In the saddle. Not much can happen between now and fall to prevent an overwhelming endorse ment of his policies and his administra- tion to date. We look for return to offic. of most of the democratic congressman with very little faling-off in strength.

Canadian Reciprocity

The new tariff deal, which empowers the president to make mutually beneficial import and export agreements with other countries, adjoining tariffs accordingly, opens the way to new consideration of closer relations with Canada It was in 1911 that President Taft tried to engineer a reciprocity treaty with Canada. It was passed by Congress, but later rejected by the Dominion government. Now it is re- ported that Canada again is exploring the possibilities of such arrangement. With the completely new view of foreign trade which now prevails throughout the world, there are possibilities here.
 Five years ago the United States ana Canada carried on the greatest two-nation commerce in the world. Today there must still be vast possibilities for trade between us, which will be equally advan- tageous to both. Certainly no two nations are more closely linked by geography and every consideration of true neighborliness that should enable them to help each other in trade There is reason to believe that, among the many trade proposals which will be put before President Roosevelt un- der his new tariff powers, one of the first will be plans for wider and mutually benc- ficial trade with Canada.

Everyone . Gardener

School children in Los Angeles and other cities learn gardening just as they learn the multiplication table or spelling Courses begin in the third and fourth grades for those who wish 1t, and are rec quired in the fifth and sixth grades. The courses may be continued through high school. Neighbors donate land for tn" school gardens; volunteers tend them through the vacation season.
 If there is anything better to teach chil. dren than some elemental knowledge of growing things and how to make them grow, it is hard to think what 1t might be. Pathetic is the ignorance of many city.bound people of how to grow vege. tables or flowers or trees, how to make a garden or landscape a lawn. Every man is better equipped for life with this knowledge, and better off for even 50 shallow contact with Mother Earth. Many school system might profitab'y adopt this plan.

Joint federal and state camps of them as q result of the activities sands of them as q result of the activities of Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt. They will serve as social and educational laborator. ies and the duration will be about three months. If the unemployed and wander. ing men of the nation are In need of tran. sient camps, the eco, and other means Of caring for them through periods of idle. ness, so are the women folks It is hoped that three camps will shortly be opened in New York state and perhaps If the funds are obtainable in many other states ot the Union. No survey in the nation could fail to convince that the young women ot the nation, those without homes of their own or jobs, can be expected to continue indefinitely leading life of idleness witll- out grave danger of running counter to the law or losing all sense of moral and civic responsibility. We heartily approve of the idea and recommend 1t to al states for consideration.

Moscow Letter

 Moscow. (UP)--The iong cam. paigH of the Rusgian communists to eliminate God from the Soviet mind still is far from completely successful.
 If evidence of this were not sui. heientiy furnished by tho thou. sands Of Muse0vites who attend church servie0g, it might be found in recent editorial Of the news. paper "uodiess," published by the Society of the Goddess.
 Goddess Editorial
 Exhorting its pr0pagandists to new evangelical zeal (strange an0maly) the Society points out that anti.reiigi0us pr0paganda still meets strong resistdnce among the peasants and tho minor natiOnal- Ities 0f the Soviet Union. Admitted. ly, Atheism has made It's greatest gains in Itusaia's industrial cities.
 Tt ia ntcessary," Goddess says, Ito create strong surviving nuclei of the Society. to improve the con- propaganda and tO improve the iuuusFbup VI tuo VEhAushsssv"f
 Army flinders Drive
 The dodless cult in the army, the Society found, was not pro- ceeding satisfactorily. It was point. cd out that after soldiers had been in the He'd Army for time they became high cultured and ltber- ate; hence they must be given rea- sons for Atheism that would satis- fy intelligent men.
 Two slogans were suggested for pr0pagandists to use in seeking to convert soldiers to Atheism:
 Goddess societies aid fighters in their military training"
 And:
 "1very uodiess soldier is q shock worker for military and po- iitical study"
 The Society of the Goddess also complained that whereas there were plenty of militant Atheist propagandists in the industrial cities--where they were not so badly needed--the rural regions. greatest stronghold of religion, were virtually neglected.

Although rural schools in the nation arc library poor Connecticut is one state Tn
 which there Is q bright ray of hope. A
 recent survey by the bureau of education of the Department of the Interior states that "In Connecticut the growing ten dency for teachers to act as assistant J. brarians is resulting in closer relationship between schools and libraries. Town li' braries are peculiar to New England De. cause there the town is the unit for civil administration for that reason the coun' ty library is not adapted to that section of the country. ." We doubt If there is one community in this state that does not provide today adequate library facilities. Certainly the state has made rapid strides in the advancement of education from the one.room schoolhouse of few years ago.

A Book a Day

 of Kidnapping Mob
BY DIsUcE CAPTION

The story of the Kidnapping Of Charles r. Urschol of Oklahoma City is one Of the most instructive and encouraging crime stories Of recent history. Not only does it have all the elements of q first.ratc detective thriller; it shows Ameri' can law enforcement agencies moving with quiet and deadly efli- cioncy to stump out as insoient \ crew of thugs as ever disturbed the peace Of the republic.
 This story gets retoid in book form In Grimes Paradise" by E. E. Kirkpatrick. and It's worth reading.
 Mir kirkpatrick is n close friend of UrschcI; indeed, he 10 the man who contacted the kid. nnpers and delivered the $200.- 900 ransom money which set Ursehel free.
 He knows the story inside out, therefore, and he tells t here in all It's details.
 Heading it, one is forced to nd- mire Urschel himself immensely. in spite of repeated threats, the man co-opcratcd fully with the authorities and enabled them 10 run down the kidnapers.
 His courage and public spirit d:d all of US q scr vice: Mir kirkpatrick hardly goes too far when he sug- gests that the Urschel case was the turning point in the whole war on gangsterism.
 For the federal detectives who handled the job there can only be the highest praise.

Any design may be chosen pro vided the usual phrases--"In God we Trust, "E Unun Pluribus" ,-and the fi2' ure of Liberty are included.
