Kaleidoscope of Events

We seem to be living in a topsy-turvy world. In big things and in little things, surprises are the order of the day. To try to summarize the current news is to get queer feeling that someone, somewhere is having fun with us by turning everything upside down. Thus we find Du Pont calling for federal pruning of munitions profits in wartime, an Ogden Mills en- .dorsing unemployment insurance, and the u. s. Chamber of Commerce backing the New Deal; simultaneously, Clevlander stabs another man to death in an argu- ment over the proper way to slice bologna sausage, and a Colorado high school boy .slugs nine university co-eds to see how good boxer he is.
 Americas secretary of state is proposed for the Nobel Peace prize, Uncle Sam hav- ing labored nightly, one supposes, for the peace of the world. On the same day that this is announced, the U. S. War Depart ment unveils brand-new armored tank, which carries three machine guns and is capable of travelling 60 miles an hour across open country. Professional base ball players travel to Japan and stir Japa- ,nese enthusiasm for things American to new high; simultaneously, American farmers in the southwest seek to oust colony of Japanese truck gardners, and thereby help bring Japanese public opin- ion one notch nearer the stage at which it would agree to war.
 A New York woman announces that she will endow selected poets to the tune Of 5000 year, Walter s. Clifford welcomes ] proposed U. s. investigation of the American Telephone and Telegraph Con- pany, the Daughters of the Confectionery meet in New York City and model citi- zen of Herkimer, N. Y., who voted in every Election for IA years, discovers that he is not citizen after all and prepares to take but naturalization papers, Spokane husband accuses his wife of communicat- ing with his rival by using the Morse code in her snores, and New Yorker ham, zners his wife to death with their framed marriage certificate.
 smedley Butler says someone invited him to march on Washington with 500,OOO men. and U.

Let Us Be Thankful

A clergyman in this state is indignant that Governor Wilbur l.. Cross did not spend more lines of his Thanksgiving Proclamation in urging us to give thanks to God. Another member of the cloth places the proclamation on the front door of his Church. where he. claims 1t right fully belongs and urges every member of his flock to read the proclamation, term ing it excellently written, conceived, and Ia compliment not alone to its author, but also to the state of which he is the chief Executive.
 s We quite agree with this last thought. gConnecticut should be more than proud of the ability of it's governor who has brought to the highest office of the state such mingled accomplishments as those of .swaying the politician and the person of literary inclination. The classics and poli- tics may not seem to go hand in hand, but in the person of Wilbur Lucius Cross it has been proved that politics is more than an understanding of vote control or manipu- lation.
 ;. sAs for criticism of the gubernatorial proclamation on the grounds of no refer ence to the God from whom all blessings come, what of this, "As Indian summer closes and the last harvester brings in his sheaves, and only the bright berries in the sthickets and the ruddy trails of the bitter sweet over our gray stone walls still tell .ot the sun in the fullness of glory, it is fit ting that we lay aside common tasks to Acknowledge from our hearts the many mercies of Providence"
 ~ It was altogether fitting that mention .was made of the fact that in 1885 Con- .necticut will celebrate it's 300th anniver- sary. That period is one of which we can well be proud. Tomorrow is appropriate flor giving thanks for the fullness and beauty of our land to which settlers came 300 years ago. Compare the state of to- day with the wilderness then. We have , advanced. We still must advance. Our governor throws us the torch. We catch 1t up.

Chrysler Corporation repOrt- ed that in the first nine months of this year, it sold more automobiles than in any 12-month period in its history. While taking in $1OO,O0O,OO more than it did, January to October 1888, 1t actually made $2,5OO,OOO less.
 To business men these figures mean only one thing-increased production costs (labor and ma teriaD due to the MIRA and Sec tion "a.
 Some of the advanced indus trialists are accepting these con- ditions as a necessary readjust- ment under present economic trends. But the bulk are fear full and alarmed, are clamorous- ly insistent that the Administra- tion and Congress do something to restore greater margin of profit.
 FRANK
 An unusually large delegation of reporters waited on REC Chairman Jesse Jones following his return from a conference WltH IdliI odu eAcSullNSS III A>SW York.
 Have you any comment to make on your visit?" he was asked.
 With great gravity Jesse re- piled, "Yes, I have"
 An expectant hush descended on the gathering. With impress sive solemnity Jeses continued:
 'I should say it was about the dullest meeting and the dull. est luncheon I ever atetnded in my life."
 HAND.SHAKER
 They have a way of coming back in politics.
 Major A. V. Dalrymple, chief of Prohibition Enforcement dur ing the early months of the New Deal is once more on the gov- ernment payroll.
 Dalrymple's first tenure was as brief as it was turbulent. The brawny Californian was in office only a few days when he declared war on the press, then turned roundn to shelve Com mander John D. Pennington, ace ' of the dry services field direc- tors.
 But a few weeks after he had prepared to ship Pennington off to Hawaii, Dalrymple had his picture taken. with his arm

Washington, Nov 2S.-The "all quiet" sign is about to be hauled down on the MIRA front.
 Plans are being secretly com pleted by the Blue Eagle rulers for a direct assault on the group of defiant industries hitherto re- fusing to submit to codes.
 The proposed attack will take the form of a forcible impOsi- tion of a code on one of the recalcitrants.
 Exactly which industry is to receive the contemplated buck shot has not yet been deter mined. The MIRA board expects it's club yielding to be met with legal resistance, and it is scan- ming the field carefully to select the most advantageous battle ground.
 A number of industries, chief among them telephone, telegraph, insurance, tobacco, packers, wholesale druggists, are still uncOded.
 During his regime, General Hugh Johnson frequently threat ened to impose codes, but never went through with it.
 Now his successors have de- finitely detremined to make the test. The Blue Eagle legal di- vision, headed by young Black we'll Smith, believes that it is ready for a trial of strength. And with a session of congress con- vening shortly, at which the fu- ture fate of the NRA is te be de- termined, the board has decided that the time has arrived for a showdown.
 PRESIDENTIAL CANOPY
 President Roosevelt has re- ceived letter from a Georgian which follows: Dear Mir President:
 q have just been evicted from my home, and I am writ ing to ask if you will send me tent to live in. I would be very proud to show my friends a tent which the president has sent me-" SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
 The economies behind the big business drive against the MIRA and further labor legislation IS tellingly disclosed in certain lit- -publicized commercial fig ures.
 These statistics show that while industry generally had a flour ishing productive period last quarter, it's profit margin had bene pared considerably,
 In other words, while the vol ume of output and sales main tained an unhrokenly brisk pace . and sometimes even expanded --the profit side of the ledger revealed simmer inflow into the till.
 The picture of what occurred is graphically recorded in the following:
 The National City Bank of New York reported that from July to October, 165 major cor pOratiOns showed a 25 per cent decrease in earningS-frOn $117,OOO, ,OOO to $S7,OO0, ,OOO-as compared with profits for the same months in 1888. During this period the concerns made and sold more goods than last year.

A Book a Day
Deceive the Ducks and Then Kill Elm
BY BRUCE CAPTION

q s
 For the average sportsman, who likes to hunt ducks but finds the purchase of expensive decoys to lure the birds within reach of his gun 8 load his purse won't bear, Joel Barber has written a useful book in Wild Fowl Decoys."
 Knowing little of ducks or duck hunting myself, I submitted this book to Jimmy Donahue. sports writer whose articles on hunting and fishing are read all across the country: and he reports as follows:
 The first part of this book is de- voted to the technical and histor- ical background of the decoy, and while interesting enough does not give the hunter any very valuable pointers. However, after a few down to cases. '-
 He tells, for instance, just how to construct decoys, how to weight them so that they will ride nat urally in the water. what materials to use in the manufacture of the "Judases" which are to lead the pintails. broadbills. redheads. teal. mallards. coot. brant and so on to the slaughter. Numerous diagrams make the task of construction rela- lively easy.
 Mir Barber admits that he has made no effort to tell the hunter how to use his decoys. or how to hit elusive birds when they do come trustingly within range. Such matters, as he intimates, are things to learn through actual practice.
 With its 12O illustrations. the book Is 6 very handsome affair, e neat addition to the hunters n- brary. Published by Windward House, 1t sells for SC.

Sands of Carthage

It brings thrill, and revives dim high school memories, to read that archeolo- gists are digging out the residence sec tion" of ancient Carthage in Algiers. Their excavations may be on the very spot where Queen Dido cut her famous didoes when fabled Aeneas landed there on his voyage from Troy. The pick-and-shovel historians find complete villas, flagstone streets, temples and market places, saved from the destruction of war and weather by burial in the desert sands. There will be museum comparable to Italy's Pom- peii.
 It was great civilization while it last ed-that of the semitic Carthaginians- and it lasted for at least thousand years. They were traders and explorers, masters of the western Mediterranean before the Romans. They voyaged to Britain and circumnavigated Africa. Every schoolboy knows how Rome destroyed Carthage to save her own life, and how Scipio razed the city and sowed its fertile land with salt.
 Yet the city grew again, becoming a profitable Roman province. The Arabs, too, found profit there. It was killed only by the encroaching desert sands. Such is the power of growing drouth, as nearly all northern Africa witnesses. Such is the peril that our own cultivated semi-arid lands have been facing lately. We hope that we know more about lending off deserts than the Carthaginians did.

Press Comment
A LOAN TO FINLAND
(New York Herald -Tripune)

[ z In the late 1920s the, offering of $1O,000,O0O of foreign securities in the American market would have attracted little more, than passing notice. Yesterdays announcement
 of an offering of this amount of 4 per cent serial notes of the Repub- lie of Finland, however, was an event fraught with a certain his- torical significance. <. In the first
 place, it represented the first for
 eign financing in this country. in
 the last four years: in the second place, it called attention to the
 fact that the country that keeps its
 debt-paying record intact stands to gain something besides moral sat
 isfaction.
 It would be pleasant to be able to feel that this note offering sig
 niffed the reopening of the market for foreign loans here on a sub
 stantial scale, but unfortunately the facts do not warrant such an
 assumption. For one thing, the re-
 cent orgy of foreign lending, with it's unpleasant aftermath, is .stlll all too fresh in the public mind; for another thing, many of the principal potential foreign borrow
 CTS are still blackiisted under the
 Johnson act; and for third thing, some, at least, of the countries that
 might be inclined to come here for
 loans and whose credit stands
 highest feel that the securities act constitutes an infringement of their sovereign rights.
 That Finland is one of the few countries able to take advantage of the present extremely low level of interest rates to refinance part of it's debt is due in part to the fact that the country has suffered little from the depression, being able to keep it's budget in balance and maintain a favorable balance of trade. But it Is due, even more, to the fact that in a period when debt repudiation was the fashion of the day, the country chose to roc spect It's international obligations withoutc compromise or complaint.

Moscow Letter
By JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Press Stan COrrcspOndent)

Moscow (UP)-Sale of the Sino-
 Eastern railroad by Soviet Russia to the new state of "Manchukuo,' the terms of which have been vir- tually agreed upon, will remove one of the outstanding sources of friction in Russo Japanese rela- tions.
 As a culmination of two years of diplomatic conversations, during which the Japanese foreign office acted as an intermediary beween Changchun and Moscow, the Rus
 sians have agreed to accept 14O,- 900, 900 yen for the road, or rough | ly 45,00O,00O gold roubles. This sum is a little more than onc-
 seventh of the roads original cost, 375,000,000.
 Many Details
 Although the main agreement on price has been reached, there are many details yet to be settled. For instance, the Chinese Eastern owns a number of factories and mines which are not a part of the railroad proper. "Manchukuo" also
 wants to buy these. Terms of pay
 ment must also be agreed upon. Therefore 1t may be several months before the final agreement is signed in Tokio.
 The Chinese Eastern, cutting diagonally across Manchuria from Manchuli to Pogranichnaya, & dis tance of 1,4S1 kilometers, has played an interesting role in Far
 Eastern diplomacy. It was con- structed jointly by the Russians and Chinese at the beginning of this century as "short cut" from European Russia to the port of llVladivostok. By using this route trains save three. days time over
 the longer original line which fo;- lows the course of Amur river north of Manchukuo and runs en- tirely in Russian territory. Count Got Concession Count Witte, one of the wiliest diplomats who ever served the Czarist court, obtained a concec-
 sion to build the road through Chinese territory during the visit to St Petersburg of Ii Hung
 Chang. Because of China's !n- sistence that the road be con.
 structed by private company
 rather than the Russian govern ment, the Russo Chinese bank
 financed the deal. But, as the bank
 was in reality merely an agency
 of the Russian ministry of finance
 the road was, for all practical pur- poses, constructed largely with Russian government funds. It was provided that the road should be managed by board composed of both Russians and Chinese and that 1t should revert ultimately to the Chinese govern ment.
