Tin Can Mail Box
Declared Effective

ROSEBURG, Ore. July 26. U.P
Robert Warren, patient at the u
S veterans hospital here, received
a letter from his son, r. S. War
rem, mailed originally in a tin can
thrown into the South Seas.
r. S. Warren is an electrician
aboard the U. S. S. Mariposa. He
threw the message overheard, as
is the custom with large passing
ships, near the Island of Niu
Fo'ou. The can was picked up by
natives and the mail relayed to
smaller boats calling at the port.

TOWNS MAKE
COSTLY DEBT

HARTFORD, Conn, July 26. U.p)
When the railroad boom gripped
the country following the Civil war,
35 Connecticut towns and cities
cast traditional Yankee shrewd-
ness to the winds and plunged
headlong into total debt of
$5,227,008.
More than 60 years afterwards.
nine of these communities still are
endeavoring to wipe out the bal
ance of the initial Indebtedness
$586000. Many towns have paid
the amount of their debts many
times over in interest charges and
will pass the headache" on to at
least another generation.
Connecticut communities liter
ally stumbled over each other to
get in on the ground floor"
Every town wanted to be "on the
line" and municipalities voted
themselves into debt with a lavish
hand.
The automobile struck the first
staggering blow and busses land
ed the knockout wallop. Branch
lines gradually were suspended, or
taken over by larger companies
and all the communities had left
was the debt.
The state finally had to come
to the rescue and finance a por-
ton of the debt annually, which
it has done for 80 years. One
town, which bonded itself for
S1,O47000. still owes s415,000. It
has been estimated it will be an
mother 80 years before the last bond
is cancelled.

who have been playing poSSum

placed their new production in
rehearsal. It's the comedy by

something of a comfort to find
that Mr.. King is actually going
to work in a play-he's been an

past year that I wonder if even
he can remember them all.
Co-producer de Liagre will di-

Helen Armstrong, secretary of
the League, in a statement issued
today, declared that this confer

increasing growth of Fascist or

stated that the youth, especially the
young workers, had a decisive role
to play in fighting the fascist on

ference would be the beginning of a
sustained drive against imperialist

hunger, fascism and war were taken up as they
never have been before.
