In New York
Nv GEORGE ROSS

New York, Nov. li.--Wall Street lights that usually flicker of in the dead of night, burned steadily dur ing the latest market dip, And lock- ed menacingly incandescent to any. one on Margin. Fear of @ financial holocaust, as in 1929, overlook the folk uptown and cast @ temporary gloom up to now, anyway over Broadway,
 Not since the jittery days of '33, according to the safe men, have John and Susy c. Public taken the adverse news on the ticker tape so to heart. At leats, that Is the only explanation they can present for the failing of In trade. Tn one big Broadway cabaret at l a. m. on the morning prices fell, the customers could be counted on virtually two hands. The management decided to put up the shutters for the night, though 1t IS accustomed to remain- ing open until near dawn.
 One hears market repercussions also, in the theatrical alleys. Certai, plans, the boys relate, suddenly have fallen through becauGe the packer, Wall treet man, abruptly has cut of communications the if1- presarios hopefully wait, for Q quick rally on the big board may revove their managerial expectations.
 Even If recovery already has set | in, it will take some time for the "angelS" on the street to become interested in the expensive side of the show business. They have been known to grow wary and tight after such routs as this one.
 A spectacular stock market dip is the signal to every working come. dian in town for the exhuming of every old gag, including the one about Goldman -achs. oS they have been trotted out of late and the stout-hearted are laughing at them again. .
 It has been di;cult, in gadabout- ing, to escape the one about the the shoe.ghine boy who stepped up to a trading merchant and solicited business. T haven't got the dime, the executive inoaned, but for Q nickel, I'll shine yours"
 Silver Lining.
 While thousands groan with each decline of c point, there are many individuals who gloat because such an econmic upheaval re-instatel their artistic produce.
 Namely, the folk who wrote plays about the stock market crash away back in 1929. At least Ave hundred people thought of that bright idea at once and 408 of those documenti have lain fallow in playbrokers' cup- boards these past seven years.
 Well, here they come again, cir. cuiating n1aly to producers with the uniform note attached: This script is timely and is right Up with the news of the day. It strikes c per. sonal chord in everybody"

thing on one throw-and lost. It rolled up lot of votes, but 1t didn't use them right-and 1t is worse off now than before the election.
 The moral is unmistakable. A labor party-a straight-out class party can't make the grade in this country. But labor can do much-more, perhaps, than it dreamed of, a few years ago-by marshalling its forces and acting within the framework of existing political in- StitutionS.

Girl Scouts Discuss Many
Matters AT Recent Meeting

Regular meeting of the girl
scouts at Adams Hall held last
week was an enthusiastic demon
stration of avid interest and a
desire to start something for
the good of the city.
One of the discussions was on
the subject of uniforms which
was gone into with a general idea
of getting them at the earliest
possible time. Camping trips
were also discussed and in the
end a general scout program to
be applied with a view to meas
ure its effectiveness as a means
of character development as well
as spiritual and physical pro-
gress.
Formation of a club was COM
pleted. The club will be known
as the Identification and Service

Report OF Monroe County
Clinic Shows Much Activity

Report of the Monroe County
Community Clinic for the month
of October, as submitted by NJ.
Butler, P. H. N, indicates that
the greater part of the time is
taken up with regular routine
clinic cases. During the month
there were SS1 patients.

prescriptions, 435; X-rays. 8; pa

Home visiting usually consists
of bedside instruction in home
care, mostly of chronic cases, who
are unable to visit the clinic.
During the month a persistent eff
fort has been made to visit and
give informative instruction to
all the listed tubercular cases.
Also the suspects and contacts

the officials. This is done with

Plan For Community
Christmas Tree Here

Through the Recreation De-
partment WPA, and interested
citizens of various civic, social
and business organizations, plans
are being made to have a COM
munity Christmas Tree for those
children of the city who are not
likely to receive any gifts, candy
and fruits during the Yuletide
season.
Letters to cooperate in the
movement to provide them have
been sent out, and as soon as re-
plies are received the movement
will get under way, and all others
in the city are invited to CO.
operate.
Two organizations have agreed
to make and repair toys, if ma

ment uses in the performance OF
his duties as representative of
the U. S. Biological Department
in Monroe County.
The office baskets do not need
much alteration, Mr.. Demeritt
smilingly states, except a coat OF
green paint for camouflage and
the addition of a trip device. But
the dish trays require a little
more working over. All super
fluous wire in the rectangular
space within the trap must be
removed to prevent the birds from
injuring themselves.
These trays, which ere about
Is inches long by IL wide and
five high, have caught as many
as nine doves at a time! And
the office baskets trap even
more!
The three-leaf clover type OF
trap is shaped like the famous
flower of Erin. In the stem OF
each cotyledon there is a small
opening, through which the birds
pass in quest of the liberal guam
titles of corn spread within the
trap. Once within the trap, they
pace the perimeters of their pris-
ons, but when they come to the
opening through which they en-.
tered, they find it is extended a
few inches within the cage. So
they go around it. Mr.. Demeritt
has been dared several times to
make a four-leaf clover type, but
he is not sure if that win be
lucky for the birds or for him,
and win not take the chance.
Three sizes of the bands are
used. an extremely small one for
warblers or "ehip chips, as they
are called here, another for the
hawk and dove class, and a third

Interest In Election Now
Centers Mainly On Mayor,
Chief And Police Captain

Highly interesting from several
angles will be the election of city
officials to be held in Key West
tomorrow with opposition for
every office except that of city
clerk, city treasurer and tax col
lector-assessor.
While there are Fl candidates
for the seven seats on the city
council, interest appears to be
more greatly eentered on the
election of mayor. chief of po-
lice and captain of night police,
for which there are two, two and
five candidates for the respec-
tive offices.
Speculation is rampant, natur-
ally, on the probable winners in
each event, but a survey of the
centers of speculation today,
brought TO light the TACT That
the race for chief, captain and
mayor, are the most discussed,
and have thus caused more spec
ulation than have the other Of
fees and nominees.
However, none Of the candi-
dates have started any conspicuous
activity to arouse counter aetivi-
ty on the part Of the opposition.
The campaign for each office has
been conducted in an exceptional
~ orderly way, and with 50 little
friction that in practically every
case, no friendships have been
disturbed with all of the candi.

discarded playthings.
Within a short time a place will
be centrally located as a depot,
where all toys given by citizens
can be stored. Boy and Girl
Scouts organizations call for any
thing which can be repaired and
made fit for use.
Donors are requested to meet
them or members of the recrea-
ton department at the WPA head
quarters building, or phone the

At the carpenter shop small

the material is donated, and will

The United States Treasury,

The Treasury did not make pub

banks assets.
The bank failed and its re-
ownership was terminated in 1923.
At that time the receivers turned
in to the Treasury such funds as
they were unable to find claimants
for, and the Government has been
