 At the end of that time he sought reelection without party he could call his own.
 Still when you ask him if he is going to move into t.le national field from the Mayors office, he snaps back:

 The parade began at the Federal and Territorial building and finish eds at the Capitol Theatre where Manager c. D. Beale tried to pick the boys from the girls through their masks and crepe to award prizes for costume.
 Are you a girl? or Are you boy?' was frequent question Beale was forced to ask the youngsters and the large audience enjoyed his trou- ble. Add to his difficulty in determ- ming boys from girls, the fact that twice Beale ran into prize winners in pairs who, because of the nature of their costumes. had to be judged as one-and the result was that Manager Beale had to duplicate two prizes before the party was over. Two hundred and fifty persons in the audience chose She winners by applause.
 There were youngsters as pump kins, as witches, sS mice, as devils and hobgoblins in general They were creped and masked and paint ed as grotesquely and fearfully as any visions conjured in the steam of witch's poison brew.
 First prize winner of the Mickey Mouse wrist watch or rather, prize winners" Manager Beale could not split this one, was a pair of Mickey Mouses-or "mices", whatever happens to be correct. They were Lynn Bedding, 4, and Dorothy Claire York, 5.
 Bob Satire, who being Is years old was the oldest prize winner, played his part as the old soak" with red nose, derby hat. and jug of vile locking fluid. He won top picture gun.
 Bobby Jean Few, knee high to broken broom. and 4 years old. walked off Singlehanded with Per oy'- Cafe prize of big box of candy.

UP FROM ALDERMAN

La Guardia is an Amerlcan-bO Italo-Jewish son of an Army band master. Politics has been his life work and living since before the war, and like many another poli- tician he was a Congressman and ex-City Alderman until, in 1883, he rode the crest of a reform wave into the Mayors office on fusion ticket.
 As th> Mayor of the countrys largest city, he drew given amount of attention, but the New Deal style suited him, and soon he became the speaking voice of liberal fol- lowing like nothing so much as the liberal following of President Roos- evelt in the national field
 He put a restraining hand on the police, so union picksts came to see in him their special benefactor. For six million or more citizens un- der his jurisdiction, he was entitled to draw generous portions of New Deal relief and reconstruction mon- ey, and he spent it speeding up the city's traffic arteries and in open ing 400 playgrounds and pools for the poor and the alf-privileged
 He promised economy and relief from reputed Tammany wasteful- ness, but. in tune with the national administration, permitted total ex- penditures to climb. He chose po- lice and fire commissioners from the career men in the departments, rather than rewarding political supporters, and went out of the state to snap up highly y-recommend- ed health and prison executives.

What Will Maine Say?

One of the threats of irate Nantuck- etians was that they would send ambas- sadors to Vermont and Maine after establishing their autominous republic, should President Franklin, D. Roosevelt fail to step in and call off the strike that has separated Nantucket Island from the mainland much more thoroughly than the miles of water. There are no transporta- ton facilities to Nanaucket right now unless you own your own yacht, because the steamship line which plies back and forth has a strike on it's hands. As result the boats are lying in harbor wait ing peaceful settlement.
 And the residents of Nantucket, that iS, the year-round ones, want something done about this It isn't the first time this has happened It took place before, causing all sorts of annoyance, not to mention inconvenience Now there is a nan-sized threat of secession It may be recalled that year ago ex-Governor CurIey had to contend with talk of this nature. At that time when travel was held LID by strike Nantucket was going to secede from Massachusetts and form d state of its own. This, being 1887 the island now won't even remain in the U. S. A. any longer.
 All of which may be uttered in fun, in the heat of excitement or merely to center attention on Nantuckets attrac. tions. At any rate it provides a nice bii uf reading. We don't anticipate Man. tucket seeding from anything this year nor next. We do think, though, that all consideration should be given towards preVenting any further repetitions of labor disorders which effectually isolate. an island of Nantucketis size and perhaps, work some serious hardShips in the way of food slo ges, mail delays, etc.

Two Good Oldtimers"

' With regular airplane schedules. now z linking North America directly with z every continent, with streamlined trains !. streaking on faster schedules from coast z to coast, and with science almost dally [. bringing out some new device to increase z the speed of communications it is almost !. too easy to scoff at the occasional brave 1. philosopher who longs for "the good old days" The fact is that several Of the !. mainstayS of the good old days" along :. with much of the atmosphere of that {. hay era, are still in evidence. The proof ]. was contained in two recent news st:Tles, 1. bearing witness to the survival of at least . two transportation vehicles which had .. their beginnings when the nation was . only stripling.
 One told of the greatest single month . of June traffic in the history of the Great Lakes. For that month this year, the . Sault Ste. Marie ship canal recorded more than 14,000,000 tone of freight !. shipping amounting to about 100000 ! tons more than the previous record, es- , tab-ished during the boom year Of l929 tThe list of items included in this shipping lis significant too - lumber, flour, wheat sand other grains; copper, scrap and pig iron; steel, stone, coal, petroleum pro- , ducts, automobiles and general merchan- .dise - all commodities or material neces- sary to nose individuals sometimes dur { ing their daily lives. And not to be over 1. looked are the 4,000 passengers who, .ap- {. parently, simply preferred that kind CT {. travel. t., N The other item concerned the activities sof ferry boats along the Ohio river. Eight miles downstream from Cincinnati, man has just launched a new side wheeler to ply route which has been Tn operation 121 years. But his case IS not Exceptional. There are 20 ferries plying the Ohio at points between Ashland ana sCarrollton, Ky. And the total, when thls 1. kind of transportation is figured in from
 all the navigable rivers of the union, smight be shocking to those who scotf at 7 old-time methods. How long these ferries
 may continue to defy time is a matter of Fguessing. They make no challenge to the l. faster moving age, because they merely ' fill the gaps left in the new traffic arteries, ! and usually serve communities which can- : mot afford bridges.
 \ It is interesting, then, to estimate how
 many other "vestigial remains" from the
 past have hung on through the thick and thin of twentieth century progress. Prob
 ably there are many of them. Besides our
 sleek new transportation facilities, the old
 side-wheelers and the lake boats may ap-
 pear woefully outdated. But the are still
 delivering people and they are delivering
 the things people need. And really, that's all they require for their claim to
 recognition.

Tonights the Night

This evening at the Parker House in Boston there will be quite conclave of newspaper publishers and editors from all parts of Massachusetts We say this in all good faith. We presume the vari- ous cities and towns will be represented, but we can't be positive The session is one called by James Roosevelt, son and secretary to his illustriouS father, the President of the United States Mr. James Roosevelt has been more or less active in the Bay State politics of the last few years and has achieved what might be said to be modicum of success there.
 The least that can be said is that he has not pulled down any political castles on his head nor upset the party, although he and various democratic leaders and officials of the state have not always seen eye to eye. The younger MT. Roosevelt has displayed both mind and will of his own on most occasions He also has some ideas of his own which he wants to expound. Tonight'S session will be one of them. He believes that he may have solution to unemployment problems in this country. If so he is genius beyond all words.
 At any rate 229 publishers and editors were given blanket invitation to come to Boston tonight to talk the situation and plans over with James Roosevelt. He thinks that industry can absorb all the WPA workers about to be dropped. There are 35,000 of them in Massachusetts and we presume that if proper cooperation is provided, plus encouragement MT. Roosevelt will seek to prove his experi- ment right there in Massachusetts. We wish him success. A special dispatch to the New York Herald Tribune contained the lines that Mr. Roosevelt expected to announce his candidacy for lieutenant governor or even governor. Just bit of way off, perhaps, and rather risky, too, if based on success in solving the unem- ployment situation. We'll await other developments.

When shall" means "may" may be 3 matter of opinion among laymen, but when lawyers and legal experts start dis secting, it's different matter This has just some to light in ruling on a law passed by the recent Legislature. The bill in question dealt with burial expenses for old age pension beneficiaries. There was considerable to do about the bill when it came up during the legislative session with the result that measure was passed in which expenses of $100 for burial and $25 for opening the grave were insured the undertakers of the state who might be called upon to bury old age pensions beneficiaries. This money was to be paid by the state. However, the bill, as originally drawn up used the ex- pression may pay certain sums. This was changed to "shall" and the bill passed. Welfare Commissioner Frederic c. Walcott tried to get change made, but failed. Now Attorney General Ed ward J. Daly has ruled that "shall' may mean may" In short the $125 expense is not mandatory. ..t

It will be necessary for Arkansas to hold a special election to fill the vacancy in the U. s. Senate caused by the death of Senator Joseph T.1Robinson this week The election, under Arkansas law, must be called within 60 days and not later than 120 days after the death of the in- cumbent. It wouldn't surprise political observers to find Governor Carl E. Bailey who by law is enjoined to call the special election, being elected. He is only serv- ing his first term as governor, but has been Attorney General of the state He was also mentioned as possible success or to Senator Robinson had the latter been named to the Supreme Court.

 and tree. He waits beside my bed to speak when April blends with May And whispers softly wake and view the beauty of open up my eyes to look, the painter is not there Although the paint is wet and still its fragrance fills the air. The grass is just a shade green the trees are
 dark and sleek While buds are farming on the boushs that were not
 there last week. Swift strokes have made the houses clean, and
 glossy. just like new And paint has splashed on grass and shrub in gleaming drops of dew The sun with warm, caressing rays has caused the
 trees to cast Their lacy shadows on the ground, the paint is drying fast. The road is showing deeper tnts in lacquered black it gleams And little pools on either side are now refiecting dreams.

A Book a Day
Comedy and Pathos of an Army at War
BY BRUCE CATION

The humor and pathos of the American army during wartime, as seen through the eyes of the Abby children. might be good charac- terization of My War With the United States" by Ludwig Benel- mans (Viking: $250).
 Here is a frank portrayal of life in the army, during that effort to preserve democracy, as seen by 8 naive, honest and perfectly candid lad who had left his native Tyrol to sail for America and hunt In- dians, only to land in the ranks of an army composed of civilians like himself.
 It's not really war book-for Bemelmans is concerned only with telling about this strange, foreign madehouse into which he has been thrown. He joined the army the author says quite frankly, merely out of curiosity. And as he appar- ently was completely devoid of in-, hibitions, army life was thoroughly enjoyable to him, although probably not to his SuperiorS. "
 The illustrations by the author add great deal to the enjoyment assured by the book, and help the reader realize that Bemelmans is one of those rare individuals al- ways completely himself, never putting on an act for the benefit of the bystander. fA
 The book is not all comedy, and the comedy is never slapstick. It is real writing, worthwhile reading and offers an experience every reader will look back in with de- light. However, Bemelman's fwar" is going to be hard book to own, for in reading 1t, everyone must think of g number of close friends who will enjoy it too My hunch is to buy two copies-one to keep and one to lend.-W.
