 Are you all agog For the annual appearance Of Mister Oround-Hog? He comes up from his hole At break of day, And this is the reason So we've heard say. Should he throw no shadow And the days not clear, He decides to stay up For the Spring that's soon here.

 But we all like the fable.

VA. COURT HITS
NEW DEAL ACTS

RICHMOND. Va. Oct. THE
U. S. Circuit Court Of Appeals yes
terday dealt two blows to the Ad-
miniStration's legislative program,
and sustained the New Deal in a
third case.
It declared the amended Fra
zier.Lemke farm mortgage mora
forum act Is unconstitutional and
ruled the Wagner Labor Relations
acts is imperative in cases con-
corning interstate industries.
The farm act was at issue in six
cases from the Western District of
Virginia. The court held the
amended law did not cure objec-
tions raised by the Supreme Court
against the original act, particu-
larly as to abridging the rights of
mortgage holders.
The Labor Act was upheld in
connection with interstate indus
try in a case involving the Wash
ington, Virginia and Maryland
Coach Company. but was held in
operative against the Foster
Brothers Manufacturing Co., Inc,
Of Baltimore on the ground that
manufacturing Is not interstate
business which the Federal Gov
eminent might regulate.

for an innovation on my broad

In 1882 I was given my own

that classical and jazz music were

The streets were crowded with
merry-making throngs, for 1t was
Christmas week in st. Petersburg
when I was born.
I conducted my first orchestra
at the age of S. A childish curl
osity had propelled me UP the
steps Of a bandstand in Kranz, a
beach resort on the Baltic. The
bandmaster placed me on the
rostrum and put a baton in my
hand. Everybody clapped their
hands. I was rather annoyed, l
remember, that they were making
so much noise.
Just before my birthday in 1915,
when I was IS years old. my
father returned home, grave OF
face. "Rasputin has been as
sassinated," he said. Russia was
in q state Of revolution. CossackS
rode through the streets moving
down both revolutionists and
royalists alike. My family fled to
Turkey, thence to America,
