 GARRISON FINISH
 How an Atlantic seaboard shipping strike was, headed off by the secret efforts of a single man is one of the most inter- esting reports recently passing across the White House desk.
 The man in question is Lloyd Garrison, retiring chairman of the national la Dor relations board.
 Several weeks ago the Inter- national Seaman's Union, an A. F. of l.. affiliate, voted to walk out on October g, unless ship owners operating from eastern and Gulf ports met their de- mands.
 Chief of these demands-and the real cause of the uprising was union recognition.
 The situation looked bad. The steamship companies had resist ed all attempts at unionization. The ,ISU has large and militant membership, and tie-up of Att lantic ports seemed certain.
 Into this unpromising crisis Roosevelt quietly thrust Lloyd Garrison.
 He disappeared from his office. A week later. just as unobtru- sively, he returned, announced { brifely there would be no strike.
 The real story of brilliant achievement Garrison left un- told. What he had done was this:
 With the NRLB lacking jur- isdictiOn-because the shipping industry is not under a code Garrison went to the employers and seamen as a "private citi- gen." He offered his services as { mediator and they accepted. After a week of secret negO- tiatiOns under his "unofficial reached giving the seamen a signal victory. FOrty-eight steamship companies, operating : 45O vessels, agreed to union recognition and collective bar gaining.
 RETREAT
 The MIRA has begun its .'re- treat from Moscow" on price fixing.
 That is the real significance of It's refusal to renew an order issued five months ago establish ing floor levels. for the auto mobile tire industry.
 "Floor levels" is the name used Tn the trade for price fix. ing. Failure to abide by mini- mum Price levels became a punishable unfair trade practice.
 The big tire makers were very keen for floor levels"
 But the little fellows were not. For as soon as the minimum prices were introduced. these be- came THE prices, squeezing the little dealers to the wall.
 Naturally, they entered vigor- E ous complaint, finally secured, on August 26. a slight modifica- ton of fithe original blanket price fixing order.

Connecticut is experimenting with west ern drought area cattle. Already several carloads have been received in this state and are grazing on our hillsides. Unused tobacco fields in Suffield and Granby re- gently were turned into pastures for 160 heads of western beef cattle. And the funny part of it is that when the cattle arrived here they were not the starved creatures that many expected. The same thing was true in Massachusetts. Evi- dently the western and eastern concept of thin COW differs

Trial Judge Learns Slayer Is His Son
By BRUCE CATION

When melodrama is. paced prop eriy, it can give, the reader a feel. ing of suspense that no other kind of fiction quite provides.
 A good example is Seed of Adam" an English novel by Violet Campbell. Here We, have a tale which-for all its too-lush, "pur- pie" writing and it's highly im- probable twist of plot-is an excit- ing story that works steadily up to a climax and carries the reader right along with it.
 The background is an upper class country-house set; respected old judge. two lovely daughters, struggling young barrister, dashing soldier home from India on leave, and so on.
 All the young women are charm ing, all the young men are hand some-and the judge Is one Of those almost unendurably upright and jcdicial old birds whose exist ence is just a little hard for Amer ican readers to believe in thor oughly. bsNe Anyhow, against this background wet get a sullen, morosc young bar Der who iE attacked by that par. ticularly horrible brand of insan- ity which results in "Jack the Rip- per" crimes.
 He docs in housemaid. gets caught, and is tried before our up-
 right old judge, with the struggling young barrister to defend him.
 Comes now our melodrama. In the middle of the trial. the judge discovers that the criminal Is his own son-product of m encounter with q Ilght-o'-love back in his uni- versity days. What this does to the judge, and | to tho plot. can be imagined. It gives the yarn an improbable twist: but it also makes it highly excIl . Ing.

As we understand it car owners will be notified of the fact that their registra- tions are prepared and awaiting them at the proper disposal point. They may obtain same by calling with the necessary price, we presume. This obviates the ne- cessity of filling out applications, getting them checked by several clerks and finally arriving at a window where temporary registration is filled out and the plates distributed.
 While the new plan will doubtless entail more office work, it should certainly simplify the matter of getting the plates into the hands of the proper person Tn reasonable time to have them affixed tor the new year. In way this is an adop- tion of the idea prevalent in other states, where motor plates may be used fifteen to thirty days before the new year. We often suggested that as a remedy for last minute rushes which resulted in many motorists not getting their plates until after January 1st.
 The scheme of preparing the registra- tions not only speeds up distribution, but also serves as necessary check on such items as change in ownership of car, change in address, all of which must needs be reported to the motor vehicle depart ment promptly according to law. We will be anxious to note the results of the change this year. From standpoint of office efficiency it is bound to succeed. Let's see how the public will react.

New York's plan to establish child camps in 1885 is splendid one. What glorious opportunity it will be for some of the underprivileged youngsters to en- joy real vacation in the country. We sincerely hope that the plan goes through as now under consideration and that thousands of kiddies in 1885 will be en- gazing in all the activities that go with camp life.

 The day does not seem very i'm portant. Thes early morning is slightly bad for social things, or dealing with women. Noon and early afternoon is a dangerous time, but the early evening is fair ly good. It is the only period dur ing the day that you can put much dependence on.
 Birthdate
 You should have a great amount of dynamic force. Electricity should interest you. From Octo- Der IS, through 20, should be made socially important. Danger, be very cautious from January IS through 24. 1885. You should ad- vance your financial interests from December 80, 1884, through Janm- ary IF. 1885.
