 London, Aug. 4.-An other Eu- ropean dictatorship which follows the Mussolini formula is celebrat- Ing its first anniversary this month.
 The dictatorship is that of heavy -jowled Premier John Me- taxas, and when Greek meets Greek they both are expected to be gay and jolly-by official or- der. For this anniversary has bene made on occasion for na- tional rejoicing-by order.
 Metaxas, like Mussolini, rides firmly in the governmental sad dle Just as Mussolini has taken over many portfolios in his capi- net, so has General MetaXas, who not only is premier but also Min- ister of War, Air, Navy and For- eign Affairis. He has left 0 few scraps of authority for e couple of colleagues.
 The Metaxas episode is Just one more chapter in the troubled story of Greece dating back to tho World war. It's a checkered yarn of kings being busted and brought back, of kingdoms over- thrown and republics proclaimed and then kingdoms established once more, of army generals on top one year and on the bottom the next.
 King George II, compelled to quit the country by the National Assembly in 1923, cooled his heels in London until 1885 when called back by Q coup d'etat on the part Of the late Keneral Kondylis. Aimed to Play Role
 Of Constitutional King
 It was said he had learned his lesson while In London and was going to model himself as Q con- Stitutoinal king along the lines made familiar by the late King George V of England. But that did not last long The elections had rc- turned a Chamber of Deputies in which the Right Wing had l43 members and the Liberal wing l4i. The Communists with IS held the balance of power and refused to work with either of the groups.
 King George had made Metaxas premier. The Metaxas cabinet proposed bill for compulsory arbitration in labor troubles, The trade unions urged a 24-hour strike as e protest against this, MetaXas, true to dictator form, ini- mediately discovered Q Communist plot to seize Athens and the goV- ernment and to do many blood- curdlign things With complete assent of his King he, therefore, seized power on August {, l936. He did this with the support of the army. There followed in rapid suc- cession the usual routine Of mod ern dictators;
 Suppression of all political par
 ties, particularly the Left Wing
 CTS.
 Abolition of & free press, fol-
 lowed by the Strictest kind Of
 censorship,
 Martial law whenever MetaxaS
 thought 1t necessary,
 Strikes banned by law,
 The blow implied in the latter was softened for the laboring ele. ment by the institution of an eight-hour day. but with compul- sory arbitration between employer and employees. A start has beeH made for pensions for the old and

 Germany and Britain
 Get Bulk of Trade
 With Europe watching the va- rious line-ups of the different countries, Dictator Metaxas was ct pains recently to deny that he was shunting Greece in the wake Of Nazified Germany He ex- plained that Greece had close dealings with Germany because of economic necessity. Germany purchased all the surplus stock of old Greek cro ptobaccoG and con. tinues to buy the greater part of normal Greek production,
 But, owing to the restriction upon German money going out of the country this produced lot os Greek frozen credits in Ger. many. The only way to "thaw" these credits was to buy somc- thing in Germany. Metaxas therefore, ordered railway and industrial equipment and, more than that, q lot of war material for long-neglected rearament, In this way the Greek army has

power questions. Things virtually
were run by the commissions perma-

Senator George w. Norris, accused of
being, mainly, very sympathetic to-

said the commissions decisions all
favored private power. Also that Sec

Russell fought like a wildcat for
law creating an independent COM
mission.
Naturally he was unpopular among
his associates. Finally they succeed
ed in crowding him out. He found a
new place as legal adviser to New
York States power authority, and
was such when Mr.. Roosevelt was
governor. But he went on campaign
ing for a similar independent, ma
tional power authority.
At last he won. The law was pass
ed.
The new, independent commission
was to consist of five members-three
of one major party, two of the other.
That is to say, it was to be bi-par-
;isan.
McNinch Appointed.
President Hoover, as expected,
named three Republicans. The liberals
asserted that all were "pro" private
power. He named Democrat. The
liberals described him as "pro" pri-
vate power, too. Still, they passed
muster.
Then the President named Nc

This, the liberals declared, was too

In the first place, they denied that
McNinch was a Democrat. They adj

had, they testified, bolted the AL

Hoovercrat They likewise insisted
that he had, as a lawyer been af-

ONCE UPON SEPT. 4TH.

One of this columns favOrite heroes
is Frederic Tudor, who was born 154
years ago today. It has tried to make
him as well known as many far less
deserving personages who are In
school histories.
Tudor was the youthful-2S- New
Highlander who was the first to ex-
port ice, New England rivers and
ponds had plenty. in winter, which
was cut and stored in Sawdust for
summer. Why not, it occurred to him,
sell it to sweltering people abroad and
thus private cargo for the ship he
owned?
In 1906 he organized his export COM
pany with difficulty-for there was al
most complete skepticism of the
schemes success; cut supply at Spot
Pond in Arlington, Mass, and started
sending it to the southern states.
Demonstrating it's benefits first to hos
pitfalls and hotels, he established ware
houses at New Orleans, Charleston
and other southern centers and grad
ually made ice fashionable. Usually
servants were sent to warehouses
just before meals, for there were no
refrigerators. Then he began ship
ping to Cuba, Jamaica, Bermuda, to
Egypt.
Curiosly, the backward people" of
the East were more receptive to the
idea than Europeans. Even today, an
Englishman, H w. Seaman, writes in
September American Mercury:
Domestic uses of ices are unknown
to our teeming millions. True, nearly
100000 electric refrigerators were sold
in England last year, at nearly double
the American price, but already there
are thousands on the secondhand mar
ket. A friend of mine who got rid of

each prisoner of the entire prison
population.

berships on the doors and keep the
doors of meeting houses unlocked and

6. An act of 1869 made marriage a
civil contract. The vestry acts of 1715
empowered magistrates to perform
the ceremony in parishes where there
was not a resident member of the Es-
tablished Church. Changes were made
in the law in 1741, however, no rights
were given ministers of churches 9TH
er than the Established Church to
perform ceremonies. Some denomina-
tions did not abide by these laws but
continued to have their ministers
marry couples within their churches.
BY act of 1865 these marriages were
legalized and authority was given
other denominations to perform the
ceremony.
