Related Tribute

The people of Missouri recently dedi- cated a memorial to the late Senator William Joel Stone. Some 5000 people gathered for the ceremonies and heard prominent public officials eulogize Stone for his valiant efforts to keep the United States out of the World War.
 It might be remembered that Senator Stone was one of the few to stand out stalwartly against our entrance into the war in 1917. A storm of criticism de- scended upon him as result. As ex- Senator Jim Reed said at the memorial ceremonies, he became the target for charges from press and pulpit, from street hustings to legislative halls, that in the conflict he sided with Germany, that he was pro-German."
 We can get saner perspective now We can see that man who opposed our declaration of war might easily have been more intelligent patriot than some ot the men who favored it. And when the next war scare arises in the land, we might remember the case of Senator Stone = whose fellow citizens discov- cred, IT years too late, that his antl-War stand was wise one.

Lesson For Motorists

Nothing can frighten the parent of school child quite as much as the free and easy way in which motorists some times go whizzing past schoolhouses. A parent who watches that spectacle and reflects on the danger which it involves for the school children is tempted some times to rise up in rebellion = and at last harassed parent has actually gone and done it.
 In Westport, Conn, Mrs. Sheldon Wells noted that few motorists bothered about the traffic light by the school which her children attend. So she has taken to spending some hours on that corner each day, jotting down the license num- bers of all cars which fail to make the required stop and turning them over to the police.
 As result, some motorists have been fined and others have received warnings from the state motor vehicles commits Sioner.
 If there were more parents like Mrs. Wells, fewer school children would be killed by automobiles. Her example is one which mothers in many other towns and cities might profitably copy.

Civil suits to collect tuition fees from towns, who are sending pupils into New Haven schools, loom as result of action recently taken by the Elm City education board The Corporation Counsel of the city is even now studying the proper pro- cedure in just such cases. New Haven claims that $71, ,0OO is owed it by several towns, nearby ones, who are sending boys and girls into New Haven schools. Letters sent out to these towns have resulted in only partial attention. Bridgeport is said to be the biggest offender as it owes New Haven $21, 900 and refuses to heed any requests for payment. In 1883 the Legislature gave cities the right to charge a years tuition to outside students in stead of collecting the customary $2.25 enumeration grant.

The state is jumping from one investi- gation to another Last month talk cen- tered on the redistribution of insurance policies by State Controller Charles c. Swartz. Now everyone is concerned about the manner and means by which the state acquires provisions for its several insti- tutions. A subcommittee of the State Board of Finance and Control is delving into the background of this claim and startling announcements are predicted. There have been several already which would tend to show bit of mishandling in some quarters. The democratic con- trolled Board of Finance and Control is going to get at the bottom of the affair.

Tradition Must Stay

The way old traditions hang on in a monarchy long after they have lost all reason for existence was perfectly illus trated when son was born to the Duke and Duchess of Kent. The duke is the youngest son of the king, and the new baby is seventh in line for succession to the British throne n and so, according to ancient custom, Sir John Simon, home secretary, had to be present at the boby's birth.
 The nation, in other words, must be satisfied, through the eyes of one of it's own representatives, that any person in line for the crown is actually of the royal bIoo Centuries ago, such a precaution was natural The need for it must have vanished long, long ago but monarchy must prize it's old traditions and so Eng land keeps this odd custom alive.

A Book a Day
Tells of 13 Months
 in the Death House
BY BRUCE CAPTION

David Lamson was found guilty of the murder of his wife, Allene, some two years ago and was sen- fenced to hang. After spending 13 months in the death house at San Quentin prison, he was released when the California supreme court reversed the verdict-remarking, as it did so, that the proof" of his guilt amounted to little more than a general suspicion.
 Now he has written the account of his stay in the death house. It is entitled, We Who Are About to Die," and it is 8 truly excellent book.
 MT. Lamson does not go in for sentimentality, he does not try to present himself as a much-abused young man, and he does not try to paint an arty, literary" word picture.
 He simply tells what prison looks like to the man who is in- side; tells it without frills and without laboring his points, and with a common sense that makes the book very valuable.
 For the most part, he devotes less attention to the grim tension of life in the death house than to the almost equally grim tension of prison life generally. He says that San Quentin has intelligent management, that the guards are as decent and humane as guards can be--but that the gross over- crowding creates a condition that goes far to nullify both intelli- gence and humanity.
 The guards have to be hard boiled and rule with club and gun;, San Quentin = like most other prisons cannot do the jok it is supposed to do, because fl needs most of it's energy for the simple job of repression.
 All in all, the book is a fine first-hand discussion of the prison problem, written by one who hat unusual opportunities for study. ing it. Published by Scribner's I sells for $2.50.

Personality To Order
Delicate Surgical Operations On Adrenals May Open
 Field To New Psychological Studies
NEW YORK TIMES

our knowledge of the adrenals, tri- umph of surgery rather than an ad- dition to our knowledge of the func- tion of one ductless gland.
 The whole subject of hormones is still shrouded in mystery. We talk of personality glands" forgetting that personality is someing very com- plex, involving more than adrenalin, cortin, estrin, thryroxin and the dozen other extracts with which we have been endowed. In fact, we have still to hear of thoroughgoing psychological study of the emo- tional change brought about by in- jecting this extract or that. Nor can the complex interrelation of the glands be ignored. Different glands control both different and similar physiological processes, yet all are interdependent.
 Moreover, there is the problem of heredity. Injections of extracts and surgical operations have their nmi- tations. They cannot change the es- sential nature of tissues. An African pigmy that springs from a race of pigmies cannot be converted into giant with the aid of the hypo- dermic syringe. The cells refuse to be coerced in this fashion. So with other physical defects" if such they can be called when we deal with heredity. It is a question, therefore, how far what we vaguely call personality" can be changed, and whether that change is always for the better. The surgical remedy that Professor Hinman described in correcting physical and psychical defects is evidently the beginning of something important, but of what it is too early to predict.

Lots Of Fun

Life is no longer a bowl of roses for the local gop. organization Hardly recov- cred from the effects of the election, which it thought it was going to win, things have been happening rapidly ever since. They only go to prove that vlgi. lance must be exercised at all time II success is to crown any political efforts of the party in this fair city of democratic inclinations Events of the last two weeks more than prove this to be so.
 Last week we were treated to the spec tacle of the Chairman and Treasurer ot the official republican part presenting varying accounts. of the way money was spent and received. The law demands that political parties make full and final report of it's campaign within certain number of days following election. Before the expiration date the g.o.p. town committee treasurer had submitted re- port; so had Town Chairman Fred Pa lomba. They were at variance.
 And before many hours both the off cials were likewise slightly antagonistic. It remains question whether the differ ence of opinion yet has been settled. There are some who claim it shoulders. And to cap the climax somebody had to go and put big chain and paddock on republican headquarters in Harrison ave- nue, thus causing some little annoyance to members of the party who had planned a session there. True, the offending articles were removed the very night after pictured in the Waterbury Democrat, but the damage had been done.
 Indicating that this business of keep ing the home fires burning brightly is no sinecure, as most political leaders find out in time.

A Thought for Today
Orderly Celebrations

Tonight is the night when poetically inclined persons write of hobgobbllns wandering here and there, but unfortu- natelv this old world having developed into a more prosaic sort of place the hob goblins have been replaced by flesh and blood individuals. Tonight will find small army of young men and perhaps few young women, too, making the rounds of the city, too many of them ln- tent on idle mischief. We were glad to note, though, that early in the week Police Chief Joseph Mclean issued dire warning to all to obey the law or suffer the consequences.
 Perhaps the modern generation or young folks is no different than those of bygone years. No doubt times have changed and a good many of us have failed to keep up with them. But some how or other we do not connect the pranks of years back with the devlltry that is often perpetrated on long-sufter- ing and innocent property owners today. And the taxpayers come in for an occas- ional dig in vital region, too. False fire alarms are expensive. They always nave been whether rung on Halloween Nlgnt or any other night in the year.
 The ordinary pranks of the mischievous youngster are usually countenanced on such night as this is. Most grayhalred parents vii lrecall their own days of free dom from cares and home duties and smile a bit as the doorbell rings and no visitor is to be found on the threshold. There are extra wide bounds for this nlght of frolicking and merry-making. But when the smart-alecks and the really ma licious youths turn their energies to prop. erty destruction that runs into plenty Of dollars, well, that's the time to bear down on them.
 Parents, know where your children are tonight and know that they are not bent on mischief that falls into the category of misdemeanors or gives indication of criminal tendencies. Boys and girls, have all the fun you want to tonight, but fun, like everything else in this life, should be taken moderately.

Straddling the kidneys are the su- prarenals or adrenals--two triangu-
 lar glands about as big as peas. The adrenalin and cortin that they se- crete have become the subject of a literature so voluminous and TO-
 mantle that even the general public is familiar with their extraordinary properties. Whether or not Napoleon owed his energy and willfulness to the adrenalin that was pumped into his veins and whether or not Sap pho was the victim of her excessive cortin, as we have been assured by the more unrestrained endocrino- olgists, there can be no doubt that the glands help to make us what we are. Hence the delicate surgical operations on the adrenals that have been undertaken by few ex- traordinary sknful experimenters here and abroad. What Professor Frank ainman revealed at San Francisco must be regarded as an advance in technique rather than in

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New YOrK, oct. 3l.-IhlS nlghC- time get-about never has seen Broadway so sentimentally stirred up about a returning prodigal as the Gay White Way has been about a returning prodigal as the Gay White Way has been about James J. (Jimmy) Walker. I have seen, on my after-dark beat, hardboiled helions of Times Square weeping joyously into their best cognac over Jimmy's homecoming and in many a rendezvous, walters were ordered to salvage framed photograph of Hizzoner from the cellar, dust it off and post it over the bar center.
 In fact, what dinned into my ears at one night club where I had halt ed to hear danceable ragtime, was grooming version of the following: "Hello Jimmy, Jimmy hello.
 So glad to see you once more. Hello Jimmy, Jimmy hello. You're dearer than ever before. You'll find the east side, west side
 will love you in December as they did in May.
 So hello Jimmy, Jimmy hello."
 Of course, the rhymes are still in a rough condition, but remem- Der, Tiny Pin Alley ground them out in a hurry; a half hour, as 8 matter of fact, after Music Row learned that Jimmy was sailing back.
 "In This Corner"
 Innumerable cliques along the Rialto plotted welcoming sheenani- gans for the jaunty Jimmy, but it took the Tough Club to arrange for 8 real leather-lung greeting. At 8 shindig the other evening, this old fraternity which boasts of such tough guys as George M. Cohan, elected Joe Humphreys, who rends the air at boxing bouts, to go down the boy on 8 chartered boat and welcome Jimmy from the bottom of his heart and top of his larynx And it was once Humphreys brag that he could cast an echo from the Battery to Quarantine. Gala Walker Nights were ar- ranged in many supper clubs on the east side, west side and all around the town, but fear the festivities are dimmed, on this occasion, at the smart sets Central Park Casino where ex-Mayor Walker tarried often. The welcoming ceremonies won't be much to speak of there because the Central Park Casino has passed out of the hands of Sidney Solomon, one of Jimmy Walkers most loyal pals; and one of his staunchest defenders when others jettisoned him.
 During the reign of James J at City Hall, the Central Park Casino was this towns mecca oi swank, eclat and fabulous prices then, with the self-exile of Jim my, the new administration heck. led Solomon continually and de- manded his abdication from ths park site.

 Stymied Board
 A red-hot explosion is brewing behind the scenes in the bitumin- ous coal board. The five members of the body are boiling over at what they call inner adninistra- tion attempts to sabotage their work.
 Although the board has been in existence over 8 month, 1t is still without money, quarters or a staff-and with no immediate prospects of getting them appar- ent. So tense has become the un- dercover situation that board members are threatening a di- rect appeal to the president for relief.
 At the root of the boards trou- bles is the loss of its appropria- tion, killed by Huey Long on the closing night of congress.
 To overcome this, the presi- dent instructed Charles West, under-secretary of the interior, to find offices for the board and to furnish 1t with operating ex- 'penses from unobligated PWA money.
 Shortly thereafter came the first jolt. The board had been promised office room in the vast department of commerce building. But at the last mos ment, Secretary Roper sent word that he had turned over the space to George Peek's Im- port Export bank. This agency is about as important as last winters snows.
 THEN CAME JOLT NUM- BER 2-West notified the board that the PWA had only $1,0O0 of un-earmarked funds.
 Finally John L. Lewis, dynam- ic head of the United Mine Workers, got in touch with West.
 '.Mr. Secretary" he said. "You had better cut out this messing around with the coal board. If you don't get busy and see that it gets quarters and money to function, there is going to be- hell popping around here when the presi- dent returns"

Selected Poem
WITCH'S INTERMEZZO

Elias Liebarman in The New York Times Among the host of feline waifs
 An eerie shadow falls; My bosom in the corner chafes
 Against confining walls. The earth is steeped in yellow light, My cat may keep her tryst, But shall stay within tonight
 And shun the golden mist. Far out along the windy ways
 Each mad October leaf Rides gallantly with brother strays In cavalcades of grief. But shall sit beside my fire
 With bread and jam and tea, For even witches sometimes tire Of lunar revelry. And even beldames sometimes wish When geles blow east or west, To taste a steaming fragrant dish And stay at home and rest.
