Private Charity.

President Roosevelt had good word
to say last night for private agencies
charitable and industrial. He spoke in
support of the 1885 Mobilization for
Human Needs the drive for private con-
tributions to the care of the destitute.
The President pointed to the need Of
generous aid to the hospitals, the clinics,
the day nurseries and to the charities
that give care and food and shelter to
the unfortunate. The President, OF
course, was right.
In making his appeal to the people Of
America to support the private charities
the President took the opportunity to say
to them that business--private business
lis making strides. He commented on
the fact that private employment in the
reporting industries increased by $4,000
in the month of September. He cited
figures to show that the durable goods
industries are picking up and that gen.
orally all along the line employment in
private industry is increasing. The Pres
ident referred to the fact that he had
recently expressed the hope that private
industry would strain every nerve to
increase employment and pay rolls, and
SO take up the slack and relieve the
Government Of the job of providing re-
lief to the unemployed Private industry,
he said, is apparently living up to his
hope.
Not long ago the President promised
business a breathing spell" which was
interpreted as meaning that, for time
at least, he would not press for further
legislation giving Government more con-
troll over industry. The President did
not say what was to be expected at the
close of the breathing spell, nor how long
it would last The hope of many is that
the breathing spell will be made per-
manent, although doubtless that would
grieve some of the New Dealers.
Nothing was ever truer than the Presi-
dents assertion that if there is to be real
recovery, private industry must give the
people employment. There are still mil
lions unemployed and other millions who
are employed only by the suffrance of
the Government and paid out of the
taxes raised from the people or out of
money which is borrowed from the people
by the Government Private industry
has needed encouragement instead of
criticism; assurance instead of uncer-
tainty. And if it is to do the job which
the President wishes it to do, it must
have some assurance that it can 60 ahead
with plans for the future and longtime
operations without fear of new laws
which will upset the apple cart. 1t must
have some assurance that the Govern
nlent is to curtail expenditures and so
prevent the necessity for greater and
greater taxation which must fall upon
the people and business alike.
If recovery is really on it's way as the
President declares-and there are signs
that such is the caSe-there should be
halt of experimental physic. Patients
die sometimes from too much medicine.
Private industry and private charity in
this country have been its mainstays in
the past. When Government undertakes
to supplant either, the results are too
often a lowering of standards and a
dangerous Capitalization of power.

coming Christmas is going to be as fne
a one as the country has known in
many long year.
Let the prediction stand.
The amateur gardener will see in
leaves, in addition to their beauty, untold
treasures of humus for his garden.
He will see millions of tons of the
best leaf mold going to waste.
He will see persons making bonf1res
and depriving themselves of the excel
lency of this best of additions to mediocre
soils, but he will know that they do not
wish to bother with the composing of It,
The compost pile, so-called is some
thing that grows on the gardening mind
and heart. Surely the supposed organ
of sentiment has something to do with
it, too, for it is impossible to see these
great drifts of leaves, without feeling a
twinge of the heart at their going to
waste so largely.
If it were possible to collect all these
leaves and properly treat them with va
rious chemicals, their breaking down into
humus closely akin to soft black earth,
would be a matter of just one Winter.
AS it is, when leaves are merely piled
together, with the addition of some earth
in layers. considerably longer than one
season is necessary to ameliorate them
for future use around plants.
! Yet even at the end of six months this
process has plainly begun. Wanting
better material, the home gardener will
find it possible to use these leaves by
digging some of them in around plants.
Il
As much as one admires fallen leaves,
so much a part of the season, it is i'm
possible to believe any longer that they
help a lawn.
For many years it was widely advo-
Gated that all fallen leaves should be
permitted to remain.
Those who listened to this had the
pleasure of seeing their neighbors, who
raked their lawns clean in october and
November. uniformly have better grass
next Spring.
Despite the beauty of leaves, they
should be raked or swept up, preferably
before the rains make them heavy and
soggy, and lie close to the EARTH
This will mean that not one. but two
or three rakings will be necessary at
intervals. 1t is possible to wait until
every last leaf-even the last leaf on the
tree-has fallen, but it is better, perhaps,
to make two or three jobs OF 1t and
get them as they fall.
The fresh smell of grass in the Spring
has counterpart in the almost-as-fresh
odor of raked lawns in mid-AutUnn.
Grass is surprisingly wet now, even
when flower borders are baked dry. No
doubt the leaves are the explanation.
Grass needs no covering. The oldfash-
ioned belief that a covering of some
material is good for it is almost aban-
doned. Perhaps it may be another old
wisdom we will revive, from time to time,
but the best thought on the matter now
is that lawns must be kept so we'll in
grass that they need no coverings. Thus
they are able to protect themselves TO
a certain extent from weeds, and to keep
fresh and green. more or less, the year
around Let us rake the leaves from
them, but not be in too great hurry
about it and permit fallen leaves to lie
as they will in borders and around shrub
berry. Such slight acidity as they possess
will Go no harm and their protection
Will do great deal of good if we have
another hard Winter.

Another Naval Conference,

Hopeless as the outlook is at this time
for further limitation of naval arma-
mentS, the United States has promptly
accepted Great Britain's invitation to a
conference at London in early December.
1t will be attended by the five powers
signatory to the Washington treaty of
1922, including Great Britain, the United
States, Japan, France and Italy. Holding
of such a conference is obligatory under
that pact, which provides for meeting
year before its expiration at the end of
1886. Japan having year ago exer-
cised her right to serve notice of abro-
cation two years in advance, the treaty
for all practical purposes is already as
good as defunct.
The British Government nevertheless
seems hopeful that some good, and no
harm, can come from one more effort to
reconcile the international differences
which have hitherto condemned to
futility new limitation efforts. 1t will be
painfully recalled that strenuous at
tempts in that direction during the Lon
don conversations of October, 1884,
came to naught. They We're doomed
mainly by Japan's insistence upon abo-
lition of the 5-5-3 ratio and her demand
for parity with the respective fleets of
Britain and the United States. Toxic
presumably adheres to those require
ments. They are still rejected in London
and Washington.
Since Japan's abro9ation of the ex-
listing agreement, new International
factors of gravity and magnitude have
manifested themselves. The Italo-Ethi-
op:an war has preCipitated the most
serious menace to world peace since
1915. Germany, in defiance of the Yer
sailles treaty, has embarked upon an
aVoWed program of large-scale rearma-
ment and obtained from London an
agreement permitting her to build a
navy one-third as large as the British
fleet. Soviet Russia is a budding sea
power Anglo-Italian relations, with
naval supremacy in the Mediterranean
bone of contention, are sorely strained
Franco-Italiar friendship is imperiled
leaving Paris and Rome further apart
with respect to fleet strength than when
they fell out over it at London in 1880.
Directly because of these develop
ments and complications, Britain serves
notice 10 the world of her intention to
rearm on land and sea and in the air,
particularly in the form of naval ex-
pansion. That the British will renew
their old demand for twenty more
cruisers, raising their present quota to
seventy, is foregone conclusion. A
program of additional submarines and
destroyers is no less probable.
Americas attitude toward naval limi-
tation is well known. This country is
determined to construct a full treaty
fleet. now contemplated by 1912. The
United States advocates retention of the
present ratio system, though it continues
ready tc consider proportionate reduc-
ton of tonnage in all categories. 1t
opposes British ideas of cutting down
the size of battleships Bleak as is the
prospect for material curtailment of
naval ornaments, with world conditions
dangerously disturbed on all sides,
American support of new limitation or
reduction efforts is assured, contingent
always upon the maintenance of
United States Navy second to none.
That is a policy which unquestionably
represents the Nations will

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
The TOwnsman

Facing projects and strife ahead,
Full of ardor yet full of dread,
Pondering where his prospects led; 4
To concentrate with balanced mind,
Inhaling vigor with fresh wind,
At dusk he left the streets behind.
He drove past farms where on the ground
Red apples scattered all around
Arbors with purple vintage crowned.
Furnished the dusky, glowing trees.
Invigorating the night breeze
Yet still he groped for wise DEGREES.
The streets again. Tumultuous. Bright.
And there he visualized the right
Reaction on the morrow's fight! 80.
A mind that to the town belongs
Cannot throw off the urban thongs
But finds new yerve amid the throngs.

IMPERIAL POMP
 SWANS AUSTRIA
Theresianum Ball Attracts Presence of Archduke
 of Hapsburg

Vienna, (UP)--The presence of Arkeduke Eugen of Hapsburg at the Theresianum ball this year shows the trend toward imperial sentiment and sp1endor.
 It has been many years since a representative of the former tended the ball.
 The Theresianum Academy was the most famous and exclusive school of Central and Southern Europe during the Monarchy, and its ball each year was attended by the emperor and his court.
 King Alphonso XII of Spain received his education here, also the ex-Khedive of Egypt and Count Bethlen, former Prime Min ister of Hungary, the Princes of Starhemberg, the Princes of Fur stenberg, and numerous others of noble family.
 The names of countless ambas- sadors, archdukes, princes, counts and barons are on its roll, the Hungarian aristocracy being rep- resented by the Princes of Fes- titles. the Counts of Szachenyi, the Counts of Esterhazy; the Ital- ian nobility with the Marquis of Visconti the Ruspoli; Poland by Princes Garusynski.
 Originally conceived as an edu- cational establishment by the Court of Austria for sons of noble families, who afterward would become the country's ambassadors and ministers of state, the fact of having been an old Theresianist was a mark of distinction that formerly opened all doors in the social world.
 On the invasion of the Turks in 1882, Count Rudinger of Star hemberg Gan ancestor of the pres ent vice-chancellor) ordered all buildings outside Vienna to be burned. Most of the Thersianum's walls were left behind and the castle was rebuilt in 1887 to be- come the residential palace of several expresses.
 Home of Maria Theresia
 Empress Maria Theresia (from whom the school took it's name) eventually arranged 1t for use as ar, educational esta blishment for the sons of the nobility who were to serve her at court.
 In the large reception rooms and corridors royal portraits. mu- ral paintings, gilded doors and ceilings stil betone the royal resi- dence of former times. and the riding school and swimming pool are much the same as they were when Queen Marie Antoinette of France once played there as a child. Tt was there that Crown Prince Rudolrh's bride, Princess Stepha- nie of Belgium stayed, according to old custom, before her entry into the city.
 Among the students during the last few years were two AmeriQen boys from San Diego, Frank Lockhart, son of the American consul-general in Tientsin, and Ted Kayseh.

railroad Ia impressive when com- pared with that for the country at large where, despite a slight de- crease in the total number of grade crossing accidents, there was an in- crease in the number killed and injured during the first three months of this year, the totals for the three-month period being 3e4 persons killed and 1,262 injured. Still more notable are the grade crossing figures in the three south ern New England states when 1t Is remembered that these states are among the four highest in the density of automobile registrations. The number of registrations per square mile of area is ten times greater in Connecticut, Rhode Is- land and Massachusetts than for the country as a whole. Thus, des- pite the concentration of motor vehicles in this sector, the crossing casualty rate is very low.

 Special interest centers on one of the hikes to Assiniboine Pass and down to Cascade Rock, where a waterfall drops 1,500 feet sheer from the snow above. The preci- pices of Cascade and Gibraltar Rocks rise 1000 feet above the trail. Directly opposite are the secret hollows of Cave Mountain, which are to be explored by veter- an Alpinists.
 The Canadian Pacific Railway has detailed two of it's Swiss guides to plan routes and accompany the more difficult ascents. Tn addition to Mt. Assiniboine itself, the fol- lowing peaks will be scaled: Mt. Eon (1O,360 ft.), Mt. Aye (10,640 fet.), Mt. Magog .1O,050 ft.), Mt. s.rdee (10,30O ft.), Mt. Marshall (10,465 ft.), Mt.

Juan Les Pins, France (UP)-l Incompetent gigolos are causing Riviera night club owners 70 much worry that a Riviera Gigolo Academy where they will be taught what to do and when to do 1t will be started at the close of the sum- mar season.
 Steps to organize the gigolos in co.operation with the club owners also vii lbe undertaken as a pos sibIe means of elevating the pres- ent gigoio standard. It IS pointed out by the owners that If member ship to the organization IS re- stricted, gigolos will take more pride in their work.
 'Night club business is better this year than 1t has been for the mast three years. but this years crop of gigolos is fierce. said the manager of one of the local gay spots. "They are good boys. but they don't know what it's all about.

 "Gigolos are important in our business. When a woman customer comes nand one of these boys steps all over her feet-well, she doesn't come in any more. That's he reason why I plan to start a gigolo school as soon as this sea- son is finished.
 :T'll pick my best gigolos to act as professors. By the time the next season rolls around, should have a crew of good professionals who know how to approach a client, how to dance and how to say goodby so thee customers will return.
 'I want to organize them, too. A small entrance fee and few rules and regulations would buck up the morale of the boys. Host esses short of dancing men could confidently apply to the organi. zation and be sure of getting the right kind"
 Another night club proproetol who was sounded out on the sub. ject is equally emphatic in hi assertion that there must be s new deal in the gigolo industr, on the Riviera.

1885 Grade Crossing
