New Hampshire made $675,339 during the past racing season, so figures given out at the State Treasurer's office reveal. We wonder if the state suffered morally thereby. So far as can be seen, there is only one good and sufficient reason ad- vanced today against legalized betting at racing tracks, namely, the demoralizing effect on our morals. We could name other perfectly legitimate pastimes that are just as demoralizing, if you want to continue to use this word. New Hamp shire earmarks it's racing earnings. They go into the State Sinking Fund and are used to retire bonds, pay off interest, etc. We'd like to hear how Massachusetts and Rhode Island also fared this summer. We hope that by next summer Connecticut will perhaps be venturing into such a field. Not that we mant the state demoralized, but we do need some extra capital to care for urgent needs.

Scallop fishermen did such intensive work in the Niantic river this fall that there are few left now. The season opened October 1 and although scallops have been few on the north shore of Long Island Sound of recent years, it wasn't long before the news spread and an army of fishermen with nets was on hand. At one time there were ordinances limiting the amount of scallops any one man could take in day. Evidently they are no longer invoked as the catches this year depended solely on the individual. It's funny the way the scallops deserted Con- necticut shores after being regular visitors.

At least in one respect there can be no complaint about Uncle Sam buying up farm land. He's relieving farmers of their overworked lands, which no longer are productive. What will the federal government do with it? Reclaim it, of course, for park or recreational spots. Maybe it will be reforested. But at least the owners will get relief and the land put to good purposes.

POPS EYES POP IN
HOLDUP WHEN SONS

By United Press
CHICAGO, Aug. John Woz-
MAX was just slipping his first
glass of beer in the corner tavern
when through the front door
stormed two masked men.
Line up against the WALL" they
yelled, and because they f1ourished
tough looking guns. Wozniak, like
the bartender and ten other GUS
tombers, obeyed orders. The
bandits took SIS from the cash
register and then started assess
ing the customers.
The collector came to Wozniak.
He started obviously. Woziak's
eyes popped.
"M-M-My goodness gracious!"
he cried. Its my boy, John"
Swiftly the second bandit
stepped up, menacing the row of
victims with his gun. Wozniak
turned attention to him.
"O-O-Oh!" he yelled. It's my
boy. Henry" He moved, as though
to leave the wall. A fist swung.
Wozniak's jaw cracked. He spun,
fell unconscious.
Police have been unable to find
his boys, John and Henry.

TOXIC, Aug. 7-Prince Ayamaro
Konoe, president of the japanese

Prince Konoe spoke with a frank

Konoe said many in the United

populace subjected completely to the
will of the military.
Others believe, however, that a
more democratic atmosphere can be
revived similar to that existing at
the time Of the Washington confer

Colonel Edward House, former adj

FIVE-DAY WEEK
DRIVE MAPPED
BY A. F. OF |.
Labor Chiefs Outline Move
for Federal Action on
Unemployment.

By CHited Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. T.
Organized labor's leaders, were be-
lieved planning a gig ntic drive for
extended government action against
unemployment today as the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor executive
council meeting entered its second
day.
President William Green indicated
the annual federation convention at
San Francisco Oct. l would throw
its full force behind a drive to estab-
lish a compulsory five-day work
week. Restoration OF the civil
works administration in place OF
direct relief measures which sue
ceeded it, may be asked.
Mr.. Green, estimating the unem-
ployed still numbered 100000 de-
clared:
Our four years of terrible I'M
employment have demonstrated the
fact that if we are to provide work
for all, the f1ve-day week must be
established"
He asserted that while NRA had
made Jobs for 100000 to 100000
persons, industry was too slow in
absorbing the idle, and probably
would not be able to take up the
slack without a uniform shortening
of working time.

Maybe you've never lost $50,0 900 in nine months, or in 10 months even! But it's easy, as witness the case of Powell Crosley, Jr., presi- dent of the Cincinnati Reds, a gen ial, gracious gentleman, who con- tributes more than money to the game of baseball.
 Crosley didn't have to buy the Reds to learn how to lose. He can afford to lose $50,000 today be- cause he learned that lesson long ago. There was a day, and not so long ago, either, when he didn't have the price of a bleacner seat in the ball park that now bears his name.
 Just a year ago, Crosley met for the first time shrewd, red-haired Scotchman, named Larry MacPhail, who had been brought in to Gin cinnati from Columbus to tell the bank that owned the club how the

Reds could be conjured out of the National league cellar.
 Three hours after MacPhail and Crosley had met, Crosley offered to give MacPhail the money to buy the club, stipulating that the name Crosley should in no way be at tached to the purchase. But Mac Phail, who believes that base ball cannot be successful unless openly financed by local capital, refused to accept the presidency of the club or listen to Crosley's offer. Later Crosley was induced to become identified with the club.
 He's Back for More
 But the test of Crosley's unselfish desire to give Cincinnati a winner came this winter, not last. After dropping the $50,000 and having to take an undeserved share of ad- verse criticism which follows any loser, he sanctioned MacPhails program to continue spending mon ey to develop and buy as many young ball players as can be had. And the Cincinnati club today is the most progressive second division club in major league baseball.
 There is a distinct possibility that Cincinnati would not have major league baseball team today if 1t had not been for Crosley. And any one who has ever been in Cincin- nati knows what tragedy this would be there Though the citizens spcnd their time consigning the Reds and all connected with them to a point far from the banks of the Ohio. still they would not give up the privilege of moaning about that team for all the beer in all the beer gardens in the city.
 Let's Scrap Machine
 MacPhail's plan for the coming campaign will be the old New Years cry of ''out with the old and in with the new Several moves have been made in this di- rection already, and by the time the December league meetings are over, he will be farther along the road.

The generations of people both young and old who have been thrilled by Treasure Island" Rob ert Louis Stevenson's famous story of pirate adventure, will find the vivid story-book experiences of their youth created on the screen in the picture that is playing for the last times tonight at the Capi- | tol Theatre, with Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper in co-starring roles.
 Full power of the most widely read fiction book about pirates ever written has been retained in the adaptation by John Lee M ah in. Scenes have been reproduced ex- actly as described in the book with much of Stevenson's own dialogue between the characters followed to the word.
 ROvers of Spanish Main
 With Beery as Long John Silver and Jackie Cooper as Jim Hawkins, | boy adventurer, cast has been assembled to bring each rover of the Spanish Main to the screen with living reality. Lionel Barry more's clustering Billy Bones is one of the most entertaining characters he has ever played; Otto Kruger is f CT ceful as Dr. Livesey; Lewis Stones personal knowledge of sail ing ships gives convincing back ground to his role of Captain Smollett; Nigel Bruce is a ruddy and typically English Squire Ire lawney; touches of quaint humor are put into the characterization of Ben Gum, marooned pirate, by Chic Sale
