RANDOM OTES

From the release sent out by the Citizens
Committee it will be seen that progress
is being made. Though some distance
away from the required $4,000 90 the
amount so far subscribed is sufficient
evid snce that there is a desire among
the people 10 do their part in the big
job that lies ahead.
When established there should be
enough deposits from which loans could
be made sufficiently extensive TO make
the institution a paying business. How
ever the first bridge must be crossed.
the $50, 900 must be raised so that the
bank may comply with the banking laws
of the United States.
Persons investing in shares of common
stock must not expect immediate re-
turns. but there is every reason to be-
lieve that the invest nent is sound
Banking business in st Croix is not at
all hazardous. Property value remains
normal ard the banks always exercised
caution in granting loans. for example
in appraising real estate the construc-
ton value is not taken. the value likely
to he easily realised in the event that the
property went to a forced sale is the
basis used by the appraisers and against
this low value the bank grants up to 40
per cent.
Without bank from which to obtain
loans those persons indebted to the
National Bank will be in serious plight.
besides for commercial purposes bank
of this type is absolutely necessary.
We hope soon to report further pro-
gress.
Ii is rumored that the Central Sugar
Factory will receive canes during the
middle of this week. Under the old
system the factory was run "a hours a
day. We learn that under the new plan
the Factory will operate only hours a
day, thereby grinding only one third of
the canes it ground in the past. How
this delay will affect the cane growers is
left to be seen. But there is no choice
except to deliver the canes as the factory
will take it. or to let it rot. except the

If the Virgin Islands Company is only
making rum they will not need canes

the loss of export tax on sugar will
serve to curtail rations in public institu-
tons and cut salaries if the increased
deficit through loss of revenue is not
promptly net by the Federal Govern
ment.
Comparatively few laborers went out
to cut canes last week. We learn that
those who cut by weight earned from SO
cts. to 81. % day.
We hope that all difficulties will be
overcome so that work may be started
full blast.
There is some unrest among the
workers, but the employers and the
workers may be depended upon to set
tie their differences.
The Colonial Council will meet on
Wednesday. On the Order of the Day

the legal restrictions so that the rum

their goods.
Last night there were high winds and
rough seas, accompanied by light show
ers of rain.

Washington, D. c.: President Roose-
veil caused bull furry in Wall Street
today by saying he thinks the dollar is
still too high in relation to the nations
debt. A White House statement later
intimated that while the President be-
lieves the dollar is toe high, he intends
to delay further devaluarion The second
statement sent stocks down again. 1t was
intmated that Mr.. Roosevelt wants to
have margin for trading purposes when
an International Conference is called to
settle money stabllization. The dollar is
worth little over SO cents in gold. But
the President has authority to devaiue it
to so cents if he thinks it advisable.
Queries about reports that Great Britain
intends to increase her defense forces
because theUnited Statesis rearming. The
President said he hadn't heard of it
and hopes it is not true. Ae said the u.
s. may have been included among The
lingo nations as a matter of politics. The
Senate adopted the Byrd resolution re-
curing the Secretary of the Treasury to
furnish detailed reports of how the adj
ministration spent$3. 300, 900, 900 fnrnish-

must pay relief workers the wages pre-

Lansing, Michigan: The Chain Stores
in Michigan got body blow today. The
state supreme court upheld the gradua-
ted Chain Store tax which is expected
to pour Is thousand dollars into the state
treasury. The court ruled that ii has
no power to declare tax unconstitution-
al just because it is unjust. Opponents
of the law denounced it as charge for
the privilege Of doing business in Michi-
gan. The tax increases with the num-
bel of stores in chain, and was opposed
by the Standard Oil Company, United
Cigar Stores. the Crane Co. and others.

bought a little liquor in the West In

der-slappers cannot convince him that
he is just as rugged as he ever was
and that the college frat will give a
dinner for him on his Tooth ami
versary of membership, the same as
they did on his f1ftieth.
Forced to Slow Up.
The solemn truth is that he knows
he is not as gay and juvenile as he
was when he wrote stories about the
Columbian Exposition in 1893 or went
jaunting to Europe with John Nc
Cutcheon in 1895 or around the world
with "Ort" Wells in 1910, and he
cannot dash off a play in few weeks,
as hurried out THE College Widow"
in 1905.
The admission comes sadly, but
when a man IS 50 years old he has
slowed up. He can pull himself to-
gether, on occasion, and assume the
yigor and pep and jollity of youth, but
he is a little curtled above and a
little tottering below. In other words,
he is arriving at the "has been" stage,
and the only candid and truthful
thing to do is to await it.

and playing tag with the biblical limit
I have come to the period of the
padded chair and the perpetual
crouch. If am to retain my stand
ing as human being I will have
to assume a careless and gay attitude
toward life, bound to be more or less
play-acting. At least I can 60 to the
picture shows and keep track of the
new books and meet the supreme test
of paying more attention to the SPORT
ing page than I do to the obituary
columns. can pump up good cry
any time by listing the friends who
have departed during the last 20 years,
so the only wise thing to do is to
assume that all of them are still alive
and Just around the corner.
Although the years have crept upon
me and have stung me with their
subtle infirmities, I still insist that
man is not old as long as he keeps
tab on people and events and is in
step with the present instead OF
brooding over the past. II he is too
much bewildered by what is happen
ing all around him, the trick is to
conceal surprise and horror and ami
ably admit that whatever is written
in the book is bound to show up In
time. He won't fool anybody except
himself, but he will escape the sus-
picion of being doddering old goof.
Ambition Is Lost.
One is called upon to admit certain
facts as he nears the gloomy 70s. He
is no longer sprightly on his pins.
He is no longer in the dancing game.
He goes to bed early and doesn't hop
out OF bed in the morning. His speed
and ambition give him the go-by and
he finds himself talking about the
! past instead of dreaming dreams Of
the future. He talks too much about
the people he has known instead of
the upstairs of the present. He goes
| to foot ball and base ball games, but
| his rioting is not as loud and sincere
as it should be and his acceptance OF
| defeat is more philosophical. When
some one asks: ''HoW's your game OF
golf?" he is given to weak excuses
and alibis
The facts are that he has lost his
golf, his dancing, and his acrobatic
interest in late parties with heavy
| food. He discovers new virtues in
bread and milk Any good doctor
can convince him that he has a
new set of ailments, any one Of which
| may do the work for him.
1t becomes increasingly difficult for
him to tell a good story or laugh at
| one. His blood pressure reads pretty
well and his pulse is surprisingly well
| behaved, but the most friendly Shoul-

BUILDING TRADE
DECISION DELAYED
Defense Motion to Quash
Injunction ProIongS Fac.

The showdown looming in Dis
trict Supreme Court in the fight be-
tween rival building trade factions of
the American Federation of Labor,
was delayed indefinitely today as the
result of a defense motion to quaSh
Injunction proceedings instituted by
the building trades department which
is recognized as official by the fed
Grafton, against the opposing faction
headed by M. J. McDonough.
The official" group, made up of
seven unions with about 100000 mem
bers and headed by W. j. Williams,
seeks to restrain the other organiza-
ton of II unions with about 100000
members from exercising any funC-
tions. It also wants to recover all
departmental effects in possession of
the opposition.
Holds Jurisdiction Lacking.
Through Attorney Martin o. O'Don-
ough the McDonough faction has al
legged that the court is without juris-
diction because of the law to bar in
functions proceedings as weapon in
labor disputed. 1t holds also that the
federation which is backing the in
junction action, has no right to in
tervene in a departmental affair.
When the rule to show cause came
up for hearing before Justice Luhrlng
this morning James F. EaSby-Smlth,
counsel for the plaintiff, brought to
the attention of the court the motion
to QuaSh, which takes precedence in
the proceedings. and asked for time
to answer. This was granted, and
argument probably will be held within
two weeks.

Meanwhile, the two departments
Official and unofficial have agreed
with the N. R. A. to use hereafter an
N. R. A. board to settle juriSdictional
disputes. These disputes are those
over which two or more unions should
get a certain job. They have consti-
tuted one of the underlying factors in
the present trouble. The warning
groups now have agreed to carry such
disputes to a board composed OF equal
numbers of contractors and laborers,
with an impartial chairman to be ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt.

CRUCIAL DECISION
CONFRONTS HITLER
Fuehrer SecIudes Himself
to Decide Stand on Anglo
French Pact.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, February 11.-Germany,
faced with the alternative of Coop
Grating with her former World War
enemies In the cause of European peace
or rearming against the possibility of
another war, stood at the crossroads
of her foreign relations policy today
While Reichsfuehrer Hitler studied
his course observers wondered whether
he would accept the Anglo-French pro-
posals for mutual defense or turn
toward a.program Of armed isolation.
Reliable sources said Hitler had re-
ceived unmistakable representations
from the French and British Ambas-
sailors that only by his acceptance of
the London proposals could he hope to
avert Germany's enlightenment by a
ring of unfriendly powers.
The Fuehrers ultimate decision may
hinge to large extent on his attitude
toward the Eastern Locarno pact,
sponsored by Russia and France. II
he should feel compelled to repeat the
opposition he expressed toward East
ern Locarno last September Germany
probably would consider it necessary
to take extra military precautions
against possible Soviet attack.
Sources close to the Reichswehr
(standing army said a decision to
adopt a course of non-co-o operation
with the London program would en-
tail Germany's equipping herself with
offensive as well as defensive weapons.
1t also would undoubtedly involve,
| these sources said. immediate adoption
of plan for universal military train
| ing.
Faced with almost sole responsible
ity for reaching the momentous de-
cision, Hitler remained in virtual Sc
clusion. His policy was likely to be
| vitality influenced by the replies

Arvel Fleming Of Pittsburgh won
the 220-yard low hurdles for his third
victory of the meet to give the Pan
ther track and field team a 67-to-59
decision over Army today. Pittsburgh
captured eight first places to five for
Army.
Fleming and Layne, Cadet Splinter,
waged a great duel in the 100 and
220-yard dashes, with the Pittsburgh
flyer winning both. 1t took the head
judges decision after considerable de-
bate to award him the 100, and he
beat Layne by less than a foot in the

Trailing far behind, the Cadets
swept all the points in the 2-mile
run and broad Jump to pull up to
$3.50, when Fleming, with another
burst of speed clinched the meet for

hurdles.

mile in 4:18.4, and finished strong
to take third behind Groat and Con-
nelly of Pittsburgh, in the $50 Four
Cadets and two Pittsburgh leapers
finished in a six-way tie for first
