Treasure Island Saved

The latest big treasure hunt is called off by Costa Rican police. Sweeping down on famous Cocos Island, where British expedition ha destablished a we'll equipped camp for systematic search of the place for pirate treasuer, the little brown cops broke up the camp, arrested the hunters and carried off their two years supplies to the mainland.
 It meant nothing to the Costa Rican authorities that the campers were en- ployes of Treasure Recovery, Ldt, duly degistered in Great Britain, and that the Englishmen supposed permission had been duly obtained for their invasion of Costa Rican territory. Their wonderful outfit is gone and their radio is dis mantled, and the romantic island is swept clean again before they have found single piece-of-eight or bit of loot from Peru vian temples.
 It seems pity, after such fine plans and scientific preparation. But it is well for romance. That alluring island is still there with its supposed treasure, to stir vide a locale for new tales. Civilization needs such romantic resources. If the the imagination of adventurers and pro- treasure were found and the island left bare, something more precious than gold would be gone from the world.

More Fairs

There's boom in expositions. Chicago started it with her big fair, running two yeads at profit instead of the usual one year at a loss. Some of the other big cities, and some little ones, too, are now talking of giving big fairs as soon as they can get them started. There are few cities that haven't something or other to celebrate Any community tha tfairly represents distinctive region of territory or epoch of American history is doubtless eligible for such honor. But there are no rules or restrictions. Anybody can get in.
 The time, too, seems opportune. We are just emerging from one historic and eco homie era and entering another, In an- other couple of years we shall know bet ter where we are and where we're going, and may have lot of more money to spend for travel and admission fees and souvenirs than we have now. Any me tropolis that guesses right about the fu- future and gets the jump on the others will cover herself with glory and profit.

Speech And Assembly

On the Cleveland Public Square, where there is an outdoor forum dedicated to free speech and used freely for 30 years, q young man appeared the other day and started to read some sort of document. The mayor, annoyed by Communists, had ordered that forum closed. Policemen rushed up and listened The man looked like a radical and his words cretainly sounded dangerous.
 He was reading from a book, thus: seWe hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed ytheir Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the gov erned." And so on for couple of min utes. Then the bold speaker opened another book, and read:
 Congress shall make no laws respect ing an establishment of religion, or pro- hibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom fspeech or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the govern ment for redress of grievances"
 This was too much. The insoient fel- low was haled to the police station, thor oughly searched, and questioned for sev- erRl hours They discovered the alarming fact that he had been reading the Pre- amble of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution. They. didn't know about tkat. But finally they learned that he was only newspaper reporter, and let hi mgo. The Constitution, apparently, is still constitutional But it was close call

Denmark Discovered

The appointment of Ruth Bryan Owen as this country's first woman minister to a foreign government pleased the people of Denmark in several ways. In the first place, Mrs Owen was no stranger to Den mark, having travelled and lived there be- fore. She is well liked by the. Danes and reciprocates their cordial feeling.
 There has developed further reason for approval. Her appointment turned many American eyes toward Denmark, a country previously overlooked because it is small in size. Americans began to learn that Denmark is well toward the head of the procession in enlightened social legis- lation and that it is a country of many other attractions They began to flock there in large numbers as tourists.
 It is now reported that AS per cent more American travellers visited Denmark dur ing Mrs Owens first year there than in the one preceding it. Quite aside from financial boon this may have been to Den- mark (tourist travel everywhere is one of the worlds best-paying businesses) this development has achieved much in mutual understanding and good will between the two countries.

A Book a Day
How The '29 Crash
 Knocked Out Shams
BY BRUCE CAPTION

aThe Golden Vanity by Isabel Paterson, is another of those nov els which sketch the decline and fall of the great American boom. The stock market crash of 1923 carried a great many things with it into the pit; whole criss-cross of pretenses, delusions, humbugs, and stupidities, whose departure left us in a confusion from which we are still striving to emerge.
 Mrs Paterson, who cocks sar- donic eye at all these vanished glories, studies the whole afrair through the experiences of three girls. cousins, who arrive in New York shortly after the war to make careers for themselves.
 One of them is the wife of an underpaid university instructor, who gets the stock market fever and builds up a paper fortune, on- ly to plunge into dire poverty when things go wrong. Another 70 a cold little gold digger who mar- ries a Vincent Astor-ish sort of chap and discovers that being mar ried to a pile of gold isn't the soft snap she had figured.
 The third Is an actress, who sort of fits about the outskirts of everything, producing those tricky wisecracks, for which Mrs Pater- son is famous.
 Through these three pairs of eyes, you glimpse q world which went utterly gaga and which, the author seems to feel, has not yet shaken off it's hangover.
 Published by Morrow, the book is priced at s2.60. 4,.

 And reason. too. why every in telligent lamb will some day ac- quire. a sheepskin.
 There's reason why blind dates are always good petters. They cannot see the harm in it.
 And why this modern method of gradually increasing theater lights is a swell break for back row lovers. It gives them a chance to untangle.
 And why the most useless bits of furniture in theater are the arms on the seats. No one uses them for fear they belong to the other guy. 'tt1 ..t

Rome Letter
By THOMAS B. MORGAN

United Press Stan Correspondent Rome-( probably is the oldest government communicate in existence, containing 52 lines of the Acta Urbis, has been discovered at Osia, the former commercial port of Rome.
 The three fragments, which are inscribed in Latin characters on different slabs of marble, refer to events which took place in the years 1f6, 145, 146 and 151-52 of our era. It was the custom for the au- thorities of those times to affix marble tables like the fragments discovered outside public build ings. The events referred to in the Acta were of national and official character. I
 Roman Victory
 In one of the fragments recently unearthed reference is made to victory of the Emperor Trajan over the Parthians. The text. as deciphered by Professor Arturo Calza. superintendent of the Ostia excavations, refers to Trajan's pas-' sage of the River Tigris after hav- ingg taken the Parthian cities of

Reference also is made to 8 quin- quennial bull-fight which was about to take place in the Flamin- ian circus. It was evidently great sporting event. The consul who was prosecuted for his misdeeds in Spain was Cornelius Priscianus.

The official gazette of the Roman carried births deaths, and marriages column like, our modern papers, and in this third fragment the deaths of three con- suls are ,chronicied, one of them being perhaps a son of the Em- peror Marcus Aurelius.

Press Comment
SITE FOR CENTRAL JAIL ' ,(Meriden Journal)

i It may be. taken for granted that the state is looking far ahead in obtaining options at $3,000 on 490 acres in South Glastonbury as the site of a central jail to replace the present county jails. The legisla- ture authorized the options and the state board of finance and control has given it's approval but all this only means that there may be a central jail some day,
 The present condition of Con- necticut's treasury does not augur well for favorable action in the coming legislature. The lawmakers may be in accord with the principle of general jail and may agree on the sit chosen for it, but the claim will probably be advanced that q more pressing need concerns ac- commodations for the insane and feeble-minded. Then again, some body is certain to bring up the fact that the state owns thousands of acres of land which should offer a site for the proposed institution without buying new land.
 The tract decided upon by sur vey committee lies in secluded region between the Connecticut river and the main orth-and-south highway close to the boundary be. tween the towns of Glastonbury and Portland. It has never yielded much in taxes but it has given promise lately of better values he. cause of road Improvements. Its centralness is greatly in it's favor and 1t is we'll wooded and watered and in addition presents an advan- tage in not being too close to any settlements nor near properties that might be damaged by such q location. "
 The present county jails are old and inadequate for the most part and they have. been generally con. demned on this score. but their re-. placement wiii take much longet than officials have hoped. owing to the money strlnRency. This ig aii- other one of those t6-be-done pro- iecta that Connecticut win have Co tackle after more presalng needs have been attended io.

Washington, Nov 19.-About Hhalf the moves which serious Henry Morgenthau makes in the realm of high finance these days are based on the unannounced effort to get private capital working.
 Without this monetary flow into business channels Young Henry-and more especially his chief in the White House-have concluded that Recovery will be a long time coming.
 So they are out to restore bankers confidence.
 One move in this direction was the recent Notation of Home Owners Loan Corporation bonds through a banking syndicate headed by Lehman Brothers. The syndicate received a conI- mission of six dollars per hun dred for selling the bonds. THE REASON WHY
 Behind this was partly the de- sire to show goodwill to the bankers, partly the plan to get the bonds scattered among wide group of people. Hitherto, the banks themselves have bought in government bonds un- til their vaults are overflowing with them.
 This time Morgenthau wanted the bonds sold on somewhat the same plan as the Liberty Loans. For this type of selling through salespen-a commission of $6 was not otsunreasonable.
 But the bankers did not diff fuse their selling. Instead of sending out salesInen, they bar and telegraph to a relatively small group.
 Young Henry got his money, but his first try at bankers CO., operation was fizzle.
 IRREFUTABLE
 A Florida farmer wrote Hair breadth Harry Hopkins the other day that his Federal relief workers were killing EZRA cattle on his premises. The farmer protested against his property being so used.
 Someone in Hopkins office wrote reply asking for spe- cific facts.
 A week or so later there arr rived at EZRA offices a crate. Tn it was a dead steer. It had been dead some time. It was de- livered, however, to the, corre- spondence division of the EZRA.
 On it was a >card from the Florida farmer which read: ''Here is the evidence" POWER PROBE

launched a secret drive to Ob. struct and delay IVA plans.
 One of the strong suspicious of l. the liberals is that the recently raised outcry of southern coal operators that the hydro-elec- tric development program of the IVA will mean destruction of their business is a camouflaged attack by power corporations. IVA PROGRAM
 IVA Director David Lillenthal publicly intimated such a view in a recent Chattanooga speech before the Southern Economists Association.
 ssNot the IVA program, but other deep seated causes have brought the coal industry to a crisis" he said. "The IVA pro- gram offers a definite basis of constructive aid to the coal in- dustry.
 Tn the light of the facts about the coal industry, who do you think is behind the desperate efforts to deny to the South the greatest program of regional de- 1, velopment which has ever been projected in this country?"
 Whether probe will be de- manded, and what form it will take is still undecided.
 Some of the liberals were of the view that if an investigation is sought it should be a Senate inquiry. Others favored having the Federal Trade Commission do the job.
 nN THE CpOT
 San Francisco's popular Frank Belgrano, new National Com mander of the American Legion, is on the spot in a royal way.
 Elected at the Miami conven- ton that went on record in favor of immediate payment of the bonus, Belgrano has no choice but to go down the line for that policy.
 But going down the line is gO- ing to be bitter pill for Bel granO.
 He is an executive of a large California banking, firm. as well as an official of two national in surance companies. Both these interests have been in the van guard of the opposition to im- mediate bonus payment. GOLFER
