Business Is Encouraged
by Secretary Roper

IF SECRETARY ROPER in address
ing the Associated Grocery Manu-
facturers of America in New York was
speaking with authoritative knowledge
of the intentions of the administration,
business may feel considerably reas-
sured. He said "the breathing spell
which we are now enjoying is to be the
end of governmental RECOMMENDATION"
He declared business was the Escape
goat" of the depression and he upheld
the profit system. OF Mr.. Roosevelt's
announcement of a breathing SPELL"
the secretary said:
This declaration of the President
is clear-cut and concrete. 1t means
specifically that the basic program of
reform has been completed 1t means
that business no longer needs to feel
any uncertainty as to what may come
in the future with respect to govern
mental measures"
According to a Washington dispatch
in the New York Times, informal or
ders have been issued by President
Roosevelt to administrative officials to
cut federal expenditures under the 1887
budget to S50O,O00,0OO less than the
newly estimated total for 1880.
AS result, the dispatch says, the
lives Of many federal bureaus and
agencies were reported to be hanging
in the balance.
The economy wave is heightened by
signs of better business, the Times
says.

United States Will Not
Interfere in Mexico

D EQUESTS made by the Knights of
A\Columbus that the United States
government make an investigation of
alleged religious persecution in Mex
leo have been denied by President
Roosevelt in a rather sharply worded
letter to Supreme Knight Martin H.
CarmOdy. Mr. Roosevelt said:
81 decline to permit this government
to undertake a policy of interference
in the domestic concerns of foreign
governments and thereby jeopardize
the maintenance of peaceful condi-
TONS.
He declared his adherence of reli-
gious intolerance and made it clear
that his refusal was not due to indif-
ference.
Carmody made the letter public, by
permission, and said the Catholic or
der had asked only for investigation
of the rights denied American citi-
zens and of the cruel oppression by
that government of its own people,
sought by the Borah resolution"
He added that "as citizens and as an
organization we shall continue to use
all proper means to bring to the atten-
ton of the American people these de-
plorable conditions, with the hope and
confidence that an aroused public senti-
ment will eventually pronounce con-
demnation of them that cannot go IN
Needed"

Clash in North China
Is Imminent

=
MYTH everything prepared for the
Wv proclamation of autonomy of
North China, there was almost the GER
tainty of serious fighting in that re-
gion between the troops of the Chinese
National government and the forces of
autonomy movement leaders. 1t was
reported in Tokyo that Gen. Chang
Kai-shek, virtual dictator of the Ma
tional government, had modified 30O,-
600 soldiers in the northern provinces,
chiefly along the Lunghai railroad in
Shantung. The Japanese officials
would not say what action Japan
might take if Chang Kai-shek should
move his forces farther northward.
but they admitted there probably
would be serious battle.
> Dispatches from North China said
Gen. Han Fu-Chu, governor of Shan
tung province, was expected to join in
an autonomy declaration and was pre-
pared to resist with his celebrated
"broadswOrd legions' and other troops
any attempt of the Marking govern
ment to interfere.
Shanghai heard that several Jap
anese troop ships had reached Taku,
% miles southeast of Tientsin, to
block the approaches to that city. Jap
aneSe forces already were massed at
Shanhaikwan, main gateway to north
ern China at the east end of the great
wall

Thumb Ball." Name for
the Earliest Thimbles

The use of thimbles dates from
time immemorial. The very early ones
were probably hollowed-out bones, but
they were soon followed by thimbles of
iron and brass, and several of these
have been found in the excavations Of
Rome.
In England the needlewomen of
thumb, which then exerted the pres
sure on the needle instead of the in
dex finger They called them thumb
balls" from which we get the name
thimble.
The first silver thimbles of which we
have any record, says a writer in the
Montreal Herald, were used by the
ladies of the French court during the
Fifteenth century. The fashion soon
spread to England, and all through
which has often been called the golden
age" of needlework, the ladies We'd
with each other in the beauty and ele-
gance of their thimbles.
Exquisite specimens of finest gold,
richly chased and embossed, and ser
with precious stones, flashed on dainty
fingers as the fair needlewoman sewed
together at their pieces of tapestry
and delicate embroidery, while ivory
thimbles with grooved rings on the
outside, were found specially suitable
for use with the gold and silver center
of their designs.

Conestoga Wagon Drivers
First to Keep to Right

Why do American drivers keep to
the right instead of to the left as In
England and some Continental coun-
tries? In the new Columbia Encyclo-
pedia drivers of the famous Cones
toga wagons are credited with origi-
mating the custom because they rode
the left wheel horse. The wagons.
often called "ships of inland COM
merce." carted freight over the Allie
gheny mountains before the rail-
roads were built in 1850.
The Conestoga wagon originated
In Pennsylvania before the Revolu-
ton, according to the encyclopedias.
1t was pulled by a six-horse team
and was capable of carrying a FIVE
ton load. The bottom of the wagon
box was curved. rising at both ends
so that in going up and down hills
the goods would shift less easily and
the end-gate be subject to less strain.
The prairie-schoOner was a modifica-
tion of the Conestoga wagon.

commonwealth. Representing the Unit
ed States were Vice President Garner,
Speaker Byrns and a large party of
senators and representatives with their
wives. Many foreign governments sent
unofficial observers, and the leading
statesmen of the islands were present.
After Quezon had taken the oath Of
Office, Sergio Osmena, vice president,
and the members of the new unicam-
eral legislature were sworn in.
President Roosevelt was personally
represented by Secretary of War Dern,
who made pleasant speech and read
the proclamation, simultaneously is
sued in Washington, terminating the
old government of the islands and es-
tablishing the commonwealth govern
ment which is to lead to complete in
dependence of the archipelago in 10
years. A cablegram of congratulation
also was received from Mr.. Roosevelt.

largest trade associations, fatty refus-

Bar Committee Uphoids
Liberty League Lawyers

Mo CANON of ethics was violated
~ by the lawyers committee Of the
American Liberty league when it Of
fered to defend gratis the cOnstitu-
tional rights Of any citizen unable to
pay fees for such defense. Moreover,
the lawyers committee is justified in
preparing and disseminating Opinions
upon legislation with particular refer
ence to the constitutionality of such
legislation"
Such is the opinion of the American
Bar associations committee on profess
sional ethics and grievances. given in
response to a complaint made by G.
N. Davie Of Atlanta, Ga. The bar
committee emphasized that 1t ex-
pressed mo opinion as to the sound
ness of the conclusions reached by the
national lawyers committee" and
added:
This group has organized and APP
pears on the one side; a similar group
may well organize and function on the
other side. Such an eventuality is
more to be desired than feared"

member nations, the United States
and Germany. Nearly all the worlds
chief ports are closed to Italian goods,
and exports to Italy of arms, war ma
terials and long list of key products
has stopped. Loans and credits for
the Italian government, public bodies,
corporations and individuals are for
hidden.
Should this momentous action sue
coed. it would seem that the end of
Benito MussOlini and the Fascist re-
gime in Italy is in sight. Should 1t
fail, the League of Nations fails, the
British communications in the Mediter-
ranean would be threatened, and the
peace of the world would be menaced.
Standing steadfast against the sane
tons, Premier Mussolini proclaimed
the day on which they were estab-
lished "a day of ignominy and in
iquity," as had been declared by the
Fascist grand council The day was
made a holiday, flags flew from all
buildings and there were numerous an
CRY demonstrations against the men,
Der nations of the league. The from
tiers of Italy and its ports were closed
TO goods of those nations except for
certain necessities. Restrictions of
food, fuel and light were put in force.
AS for the Ethiopian war itself, Mus
solini announced an important change
in commanders. Gen. Emilio de Bono
was recalled with warm praise for hav-
ing achieved his mission under eX-
tremely difficult circumstances" and
was to be elevated to the rank of mar
shall. Gen. Pietro BadOglio, chief of
staff, was appointed to succeed De
Bono as commander in chief of the in
yading armies.
The Italian forces in northern ETH
opia were preparing for new for
ward movement, their objective being
Amba Alaji, 40 miles south of Makale.
1t was learned that Emperor Halle Sc
lassie had sent to his men in that re-
gion an order not to retreat further,
so there were prospects of a real bat
tie. Ten thousand well trained and
well armed warriors from the rich
province of Walega arrived at Adds
Ababa to fight the Italians, and it
was reported that thousands of fierce
desert fighters were coming in from
French and British Somaliland to join
the emperor's armies.

Treaty With Canada
Is Made Public

a MEXICAN business generally Is
- pleased with the terms of the new
trade treaty with Canada, made public
tawa. Farmers and the lumber men
of the northwest will not like it.
High tariff advocates in congress are
sure to attack the pact, but it's terms
cannot be affected for three years,
even were congress to repeal the re-
ciprocal trade act under which Presi-
dent Roosevelt acted in negotiating the
agreement. 1t is considered a trade
agreement rather than a formal treaty,
and goes into effect January l next.
Government officials, foreseeing ad-
verse reaction in some quarters be-
cause of some of the sliced American
duties, sought to show the pact would
lead to greatly increased trade and en-
ployment which would benefit the
country.
President Roosevelt stressed that
while duties were lowered on Cana
dian cattle, cream, seed potatoes and
certain kind of lumber, quotas placed
on these articles would prevent seri-
Gus interference with the American
market.
An analysis of the pact shows that
the United States grants concessions to
Canada on 20 major commodities, in
Guiding:
Tariff slash on four-year-Old whisky
from 81 to 80 cents per fifth of a
gallon.
Reductions in duties on specified
quotas of beef cattle (from to
cents per pound on animals over
200 pounds dairy cows (21a to ~
cents); cream (56.6 cents to 80 cents
per gallon) white or Irish seed po-
tatoes (75 to 45 cents per 100
pounds; Douglas fir and western
hemlock $50 per cent?.
Reduced duties on lumber and tim
Der of other kinds; cheddar cheese,
turnips, apples, hay, maple sugar, live
poultry, horses, halibut and some other
fish; some feathers and ferro-man-
ganese.

certain furs, crude asbestos, artificial
abras.ves and fertilizers.
A promise 10 maintain the present
10 per cent duty on feedstuifs for
animals.
On the part of Canada the duties
are cut on $50 commodities, some of
the leading concessions being: Reduc-
tons on wheat (from 50 to II cents
a buSheD; off-season fresh vegetables
$50 per cent?; vegetables imported in

Farm Mortgage Amendment
Is Declared Illegal

T LEGISLATION designed to replace
IL the Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage
moratorium act after that law was de-

The judges found, in effect, that the
amendment adopted in August of 1885,
reducing the moratorium period from
