6OS REGISTER
 IN NEW CLASS
Orientation Course En. rOIInlent Large Reveals
 Recent QuestiOnnaire

Statistics in connection with Q uuestionnaire circulated among eighth grade pupils of public gram mar schools during the past week reveal that 609 pupils will definately be enrolled in the new orientation course being planned by the recre- ational division of the WPA here, directed by Miss Edna Harmon.
 Eighth grade pupils of 27 schools submitted answers to the question 1aire. It. was pointed out more than 6o9 had signified intentions Of enrolling in the course, but that they would not be in the city for the entire summer. During the current week the same set of questions VIII be circulated among the eighth grade pupils in parochial schools and 1t is expected about 200 more names will be added to the present list.
 When all the names are listed, the instructors will attempt to group the children according to the hob- bies they have listed as their favor ites. Following this schedule TOT the summer orientation course, planned for preaching the gap be-: tween grammar and high school studies and activities, will be an- nounced.
 One thousand, nine hundred ana twenty-five public school pupils submitted papers to the WPA in" structors last week.
 Miss Harmon pointed out the list of questions was made up with the specific intention of avoiding the suggestion of any particular hob- bies. Each pupil had to list his own particular, hobby, without the aid of any list of hobbies to select from. Tn this way the directors were able to get more accurate information about the desires of the prospective pupils. The results of the answers received In the parochial schools will be announced during the coming week.

Under the proposed ordinance Q fee would be charged for any per- init granting authority to hang a sign over the sidekalk. This money would be used in paying an irspec- tor whose special duty 1t would be to supervise the hanging of signs and test them from time to time SO as to safeguard pedestrians.
 Ordinance Ready
 It is possible that the ordinance will be ready for submission to the board of works at the regular bi- monthly meeting two weeks hence. If 1t is approved at that time 1t will be sent to the aldermen.
 Installation of a 30-foot sewer in Watertown avenue was ordered by the board. It will run from Aurora street southerly and will be laid under the east sidewalk. The board also instructed Superintendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming to pro- ceed with the building of @ sidewalk on the west side of Murray street. Both prospects, were approved by the aldermen Monday night.
 Residents of the west side of Wa tertown avenue, from Morningside westerly, will be cited in at pulp lie hearing on the 30th relative to the building of Q sidewalk along the side of the thoroughfare. The board also voted to ask the alder men for permission to hold Q hear- ing for sidewalks on Roseland and Irvington avenues.
 Sewer Requested
 Residents of Mansfield avenue asked that Q sanitary sewer be in- stalled in their street. It was voted to ask the engineering department if 1t would be possible to connect with the main carrier in Meriden road. To the Water committee for investigation went Q request for Q water main in Congress avenue ex- tension. Residents of Sherman ave- nue and Bucks Hill also asked for water main extensions. They were informed that the city plans to have both projects done under WPA Supervision.
 Assistant City Clerk John DiCorpo was instructed to investigate the status of 6 petition for Q sanitary sewer in Geddes terrace. The resi- dents informed the board that the health officer had complained about cess pools overflowing. superinten- dent Fleming reported to the board on the complaint of two weeks ago concerning the stoppage of Q drain at 1,278 North Main street. The sewer from the house in question is connected to Q storm sewer built by the Connecticut company. The property owner complained that the main sewer was clogged up with sand. The board decided that 1t was a case for the property owner to take up with the Connecticut company.
 Checking Vote
 Upon the motion of Commissioner Charles Dreyer the clerk was in. structed to look up the records and see if e sidewalk had ever been or dered for Sheldon street and if so why the job had not been done. TO the lighting committee went a recommendation of Commissioner Albert Loeffler that Q light be ir- stalled ct the Maynard avenue steps.

HilIes' Power Doubtful

Reports from New York that the IIilles crowd is demanding, as the price of its support, that Landon promise not to appoint John Ham, ilton as national committee chair man to manage the campaign If he is nominated may be true. They may also be unimportart.
 Landon previously had sent as- surances to Hamilton that he would be chosen for the chairmanshipD Hamilton had defeated Hilles in several fights inside the C.. o. P. national committee.
 There is great doubt whether HiIles will be in strong enough position to demand successfully an concession from LandOn. He probably will be unable to put over Congressman James w. Wadsworth of New York as the party's vice presidential candi- date, especially since WadswOrth was g founder of the Liberty League.
 The Landon group is showing a preference for Senator vandenberg of Michigan, who would be about as strong a man as the party could name for second place-if he would accept it.

Hope for Stampede

The number of delegates actual ly instructed or pledged to Landon is little more than a fifth of the conventions 1901 votes, although he is expected to poll somewhere bee tween 300 and 375 on the first bal- lot.
 Manager John Hamilton will have upward of a score of delegates ready to jump in for Landon early in the second roll call and hopes for a general rush of delegates to the ob- vious winner at that time.
 The scarcity of last-ditch Lan- don delegates Is admitted by some Landonites. Pre-c0nvention cam- paign work has failed to establish close relationships with many minor politicians who would be more safely roped if they could feel that they were sure of recOg- milton by the Landon leaders after the latter took over the party machinery.
 Only a now semingly impossible combination, however, can stop the governor. It would have to include Hoover, Borah, and Boss Charlie Hilles of New York. Those three dislike one another worse than any of them dislike Landon.

upset the Landon candidacy at the republican national convention.
 But there isn't the slightest indi- cation that the opposition has what 1t takes.
 The eve of . convention nearly always finds the camp of the Out- standing candidate In Q state of jitters. Hoover was virtually shimmying from an attack of that aiIment in the days iTnmedi- ateIy preceding his nomination In 1882.
 And he had substantially more delegates actually nailed down than LandOn has now. So 1t isn't surprising that the Land0n managers, though nearly certain of victory, have been jittery of late.
 Their nerves were considerably soothed, however, as soon as they were able to bounce on an ad- vance copy of Senator Borah's radio speech and be. assured that Borah wasn't making a personal attack. on the Kansas governor.
 The only weakness of the Ian. don position under the anticipated conditions at Cleveland - weak nesses which won't be fatal unless there's an unexpected explosion are that his packers must de- pend on a bandwagon nomination, because the Kansan has far from a majority of instructed delegates and that many pro-Landon dele gates are but loosely tied to his banner,

Issues First, Says Borah

Borah's closest friends and ad- visers urged him to attack Landon by name in his radio speech. He might have ben much more effec- tive if he had.
 But the senator consistently re. fused, even though Landon head quarters was tipped off two days beforehand fro ma supposedly cred- ible source that he was going to do that.
 Borah explained privately that issues were much more important than personalities, that injection of the latter would .weatken the force of his uterances on the former, inasmuch as he himself was a presidential candidate.

WARSAW R.-The Polish govern
ment is considering bids for opening
automobile assembling plants in
Poland.
1t has been announced that the
most acceptable proposition has come
from General Motors, which would
cooperate with the Polish company
Of Llpop, Rau & Loevenstein.
High duties have greatly curtailed
the number Of automobiles in Poland.
Tax abatements have been granted
to car purchasers. but 1t is calculated
that no more than 5000 cars can be
sold annually in Poland on account
Of the economic depression and the
poor roads.

MINUS $2O,OO0,O 900, 900

During the past six years, the Federal
treasury has been going into the hole.
In that time, the Federal government
has spent approximately $18,0O0O00, 900
more than it has received. And it is re-
liably forecast that the current fiscal year
will place the cumulative deficit about
$4,000, 100000.
Those vast deficits have been eli
nanced' through the issuance of govern
ment securities-in other words, they have
been added to the soaring national debt
They have been charged against the future
and generations to come must help pay
them.
These are facts that require no COM
ment. They show, better than argument
how essential to the national welfare is

Disposing of the Abundance

pressed in money but a decline ex-
pressed in bushels and tn pounds OF
food Apparently we are richer all
though we are actually poorer. This
is not unusual but is paradoxical.
Economists call it "the paradox Of
value" The less we have the richer
we seem to be. ~.
If it were just a matter Of statistics
or of abstract reasoning, we could
perhaps ignore it. Instead, we have
another case of human suffering and,
unfortunately, an inability to under
stand and to appreciate it. We are
reaping the fruits of policies that are
often called the economics Of scar
city. The present situation arises
from a combination of drought and
OF crop curtailment. The first is be-
yond human control. The latter was
deliberately planned.
Unfortunately, farmers are not the
only ones to attempt to make more
money by producing less. Manufac-
turers and others do it, too. If they
think they can gain moe by curtail-
ing output and especially if they can
find some way to act together. they do
the same thing. We must be fair in
our judgments of the farm s, espe-
cially since one reason for crop 'ur-
tailment was the great fall in the
prices Of agricultural products a few
years ago when the prices of goods
the farmers bought declined far |, s.
II we look to our political leader
ship we find scant comfort The policy
q crop .curtailment has been pushed
vigorously by the present administra-
ton If VIZ turn to the platforms of
TIE two maIol parties we find no sign
IF q more enlightened attitude. What
we need Is larger volume OF output
Of all kinds OF goods. not restrictions
Some balance there must be. but rs
vet there g no indication of anyth 1g
but curtailment of this and OF that.
1t is easy to dismiss the question
with the implication that there is
simple answer. Thus far our eco
nomic planning seems to have been
based on the false idea that we have
serious problems because we live in
an economy of abundance" and that
the solution lies in getting rid of he
abundance"
We need more production, not less.
We need less attention to tinkerir..
with money and more to encouraging
a larger output.
