NEW DEAL RESULTS SHOWING.

The facts of improvement continue to show them selves Lead by the automobile industry, business in virtually every line is showing returns in many exceeding anticipation The Associated Press carries the report that auto production has stirred up indus trial activity and that production for October greater than at any time since 1929 Steel production also has been heavy
 Here in our own section, the income tax figures tell significant story. Miles Price, agent from Seattle to handle income matters in Alaska is author of the statement that incomes much improved over year ago and that business on the whole is 20 per cent better in the Territory.
 Despite the wall from some political sources that the country still in the doldrums recovery is actually and it reveals the soundness of the original New Deal program when given the full cooperation of private business Perhaps, the slack in employment is not being taken up rapidly as first expected but it is gradually adjusting itself, and carried out as outlined by the President when he took office a normal condition of labor will return.
 The Roosevelt plan of pump primng has gotten results as the rising business cycle shows The ex pendture of public funds has restored confidence and given the industalist the farmer the merchant, and the rest of general business the boost it needed to start it toward a normal condition. Now it will be up to business to keep up that momentum and the increasing number of reported gains indication that it proposes to do just that.

agreed to apply financial sanctions against Italy In the first instance these will prohibit direct loans to the Italian Government It is interesting to note, in passing that such leans already prohibited by the United States This is not because of Ialy's invasion Of Ethiopia but because of her failure to maintain payment her debts to us: the Johnson Act of April, 1854 having made it unlawful for any Amer ican citizen to purchase the bonds of Government in default any part of it's obligations to the United States The proposals adopted at Geneva, how ever go much further than to prohibit direct loans to the Italian Government They also call for com pete ban upon all loans and credits to or for any public authority person corporation in Italian territory IL is recommended that such measures be put into effect by October 31.
 The purpose behind this plan is not mere spite or retaliation because Italy has chosen to defy the opinion of the League and to disregard her obligations under the Covenant The delegates who agreed to Proposal NO. 2 are seeking, as they sought in Proposal No r which called for an embargo on the shipment of and ammunition to Italy-to apply measures which will actually curb the aggressive action initiated by the Italian Government. In order to maintain long sustained military effort in Ethiopia Italy must have, and import supplies of coal, copper iron nickel tin lead petroleum and cotton By what means does she obtain such materials? In part through the conversion into foreign currencies of loans and credits amassed abroad by Italian manufacturers, merchants and bankers. It is for this reason, and specifically i order to restrict Iays efforts to command foreign purchasing power for the supplies she needs that the League committee has recommended embargo on foreign credits
 It remains to be seen of course, precisely in what form this embargo will be applied by the Governments concerned granted Itay's determination to con- tinue her present course) how successful it will be in achieving it's objective Modern finance is inn mensely complex mechanism. Open and direct bor- rowing can be prevented easily by Governments which wish to do But what of borrowing which may be undertaken indirectly through two three even many intermediates, and of credits which may be established and utilized through the crcuitous process2 It is the opinion of the Royal Institute o International Affairs in London after careful study of the question: that unless economic sanctions are imposed simultaneously with financial sanctions it becomes practically impossible to prevent the acquis
 on of credit through trade operations or the transfer of property.
 Some such opinion seems to be shared in the coun cils of the nations represented at Geneva. This is plainly the interpretation be placed upon the news that the subcommittee for economic sanctions decided recently to recommend embargo on certain raw materials and products essential Italy for the tinuance of hostites.n

YANKEE SHREWDNESS.

Although the United States nas clearly and em- phatcaly stated it's position relative to the present difficulty in North Africa it is apparent that the intent of European nations is to drag us into the troubles across the if possible. Even after our declared neutrality comes the question from the League of Nations Of what we think about applying sanctions to Italy It is of course just another attempt to get State Department to make some slight expression that could easily be misinterpreted and thus embroil us in

The Mystery of Beauty.
(New York World -Telegram.)

After reading the curled, rose-pink and sweet smelling words which report the annual convention here of the National Hairdressers and Cosmeologtsts Association feel that beauty is more of q mystery than ever.
 One speaker told the convention that, Cosmetics are decided factor in reducing the number of di- vorces The judge in every domestic relations court testify to cases in which the use of cosmetics either has or could have saved the situation.
 The next paragraph described the presentation of a loving cup to a representative of the womanhood of that State which had the greatest per capita con- sumption of cosmetics in the entire United States The State is Nevada. and the lady who got the cup comes from Reno.
 Now can we believe what we told about cos mecs reducing divorces is it the lack of cosmetics elsewhere which drives wives to Reno is it good thing the consumption in Nevada is so large or else Reno divorce rates would mount still higher? It necessary orsake statistics and take up with the poet who found beauty it's excuse for being

he saw her-that strangely beautiful
woman, gowned in white satin-and
she was frightened. He offered to

back from the street.
It was late, and since this was in
the days of candlelight and hospital

the night. Tired and a little be-
wildered. he was given a burning
candle and led to shadowy. vaulted
bed room. AS soon as he was alone
he began to undress.
Then he saw them two shoes
sticking out from under the bed.
They were not ordinary shoes resting

COUNTY TO SPEED
SCHOOL PROGRAM
Montgomery Hopes to Finish
$794,OOO P. W. A. Project
Next September.
By STAFF Correspondent of The Star

ROCKVILLE, Md, November g.
With acceptance of the P. w. AS
s794, 900 school construction appropri-
alton now a matter of course, Mont
gomery County officials set about to-
day to speed the building program
through by next September.
School Supt E. w. Broome said that
plans for the new structure would be
whipped into final shape at once, so
bids may be sought as soon as the
county commissioners and the Board
OF Education complete negotiations.
Start Work Next Month.
1t is expected the money will be
made available within week or 10
days and actual construction probably
will get under way by December,
which would permit completion of the
entire program by the outset of the
1861 term.
The commissioners. who had ignored
the P. w. A. ALLEGATION for several
months because of reluctance to in
crease the county's bonded indebted
. ness. finally yielded to the entreatleS
of civic and educational leaders.
A split vote in the Fusion party
bloc controlling the board resulted
in the favorable decision, with Com
missioner Paul Coughlan joining with
bers, Robert D. Hagner and Richard
H. LanSdale, in favoring acceptance
of the Federal allotment.
Opposes More Bonds.
Fusionis. Commissioners Frank H.
Karn and Charles E. King, who op-
posed the motion made by Commis-
sioner Lansdale, declared they believed
the matter should rest for another
year.
l.arn, the board president, asserted
that he favored better schools, but
bitterly opposed the imposition of any
additional burden upon the taxpayers.
He pointed out that the boards
action will neceSsitate bonding the
county s560,OOO more to repay the 70
per cent of the appropriation.
Commissioner Coughlan, in explain
ing his vote, stated that he is con-
fident of the enactment of legislation
for a reaSSessment of real property
that will raise the county's basis SO
the school bonds can be paid off with
out an increase in the tax rate.
Projects Listed.
During the meeting a delegation
from the Civic League of the central
suburban area of Montgomery County
appeared before the board and urged
that the commissioners take steps to
provide a junior high school in the
Kensington area.
Buildings which will be erected
under the program will include the
first unit of new junior high school
near Silver Spring; combination
, auditorium gymnasium and classroom
at the senior high school in Bethesda;
a combination auditorium gymnasium
at the senior high school in Silver
Spring and at Sherwood High School
in Sandy Spring. and additional class
rooms at the Damascus and Rockville
