Earring Notes
IN the inventory Of what is to happen at the
English herring bar we come upon what seem
to be a couple Of jarring notes. For instance,
there is that poached herring. 1t almost got
us in serious trouble with the chef at Lindy's
restaurant, one of the famous herring haunts
Of the Broadway region.

"The man in the street" is not told that 100000

ing with herring.
That stuffed herring on the English herring
bar menu is another type that is not familiar to
us. Stuffing herring strikes us as something
like gliding the lily. We must say these items
tend to Stifle our new admiration Of the English
to some extent.
We know about the kippered herring, of course
Kippering means to split and dry the herring
What you do with kppered herring is to broil
it for breakfast and eat with eggs, and we esteem
it great delcacy. especially with bit of nice
spiced herring for dessert. That prevents the
broiling of the kipper from destroying that
luscious herring taste so essential to the enjoy
ment of herring.
The United States Of America is not one Of the
big herring eating nations Of the world. Indeed,
in some sections Of this country the herring Is
comparatively unknown because New YorkerS
have tried to keep the herring secret from the
nation at large so they will have enough for
themselves.

Mr. Dewey
(New York Times)


 For one important reason it is matter of regret that Thomas E. Dewey has accepted the nomination for Governor which the State convention of his party enthusiastically offered him. He elected only last November to four-year term District Attor ney of New York County. He is prosecutor of eX ceptona ability. And a country in which graft and racketeerng have long fourished needs the ices of such prosecutor It cannot be believed that the conditions which MT. Dewey himself described so wildly and accurately in his campaign speeches of last year have been corrected completely in the of the nine months which have elapsed since he took office
 We are, however confronted with a fact and not a theory. MT. Dewey has accepted nomination and opportunity which few would be able to resist, and the question of his ability to fill compeently the and higher office to which he aspires is of importance than regrets for his leaving a post for which he ideally suited Of that leaving, it only be said that Mir Dewey would have shown better judgment had he announced at once, and not deferred until next January his resignation District Attorney. Neither successful cand- date for Governor nor as a defeated candidate would he be in proper position to retry the Hines after the election.
 It is scarcely fair to say, may say in crit- csm of his present candidacy that he lacks experience in the management of State affairs. Other lack ing the experience have made excellent Cover nors. It is matter of more moment that his eX- tremely active career prosecutor has given him little opportunity to famarize himself with the prob lemS he would be called upon to solve Governor, aside from those arising in the important field of criminal law and criminal prosecutions and that so far the general public is concerned he has not made known his position regarding large number of social, economic financial and administrative questions.
 There will be time however, for him to carify his views on many of these questions the campaign proceeds. And if it be said that he is still thing of an enigma so far as State issues con- cerned it can also be said that he is certainly no enigma whatever when it comes to matters of char acter and natural ability, He is of incorrigible honor He has youth on his side. He is utterly fear less He has tremendous energy and exceptional ability to apply himself to whatever task he finds hand. He is capable of taking good advice, and has the great advantage of having good advisers

COUNTING ALASKA NOSES

 .a t, coilnt noses in Alaska as it will throughout he nation for the Sixteenth Decennial Census Commerce Secretary Roper, to whose department Us the task of enumeration, reports that while actual taking of the in the Territory Will not ret under way until next October some count Will De made in the remote Arctic regions starting early in the spring This tally where the population is not likely to change during the year will be taken for the most part by Federal employees whose other duties carry them to the remote outposts.
 If the growth which has been much in evidence in the north during recent years is conducive to per manent population is generally accepted, AlaSkas census of 194O is going to surprise many Aaskans as well as the officials who will be taking it. Our major cities especially likely to show large population increases This will be particularly true of Juneau Ketchikan, Fairbanks and Anchorage. These cities have been making tremendous strides forward in the last few years
 The population of Juneau in the 193o census was 4o37 Many believe it has doubled in population in the last 10 years It is safe to predict the 1940 count will show it closer to 75O0 than the 400O of 10 years ago.
 Ketchikan had 3786 in 193O. It, too probably will show substantial gain. The same is true of An chorage which had 2276 ten years ago, and Fair banks which could boast of only 2099 by actual count when the last census was taken. It wouldn't be sur prising to see the population of all four of these cites virtually doubled in the 1940 nose count
 Then there is the town of Palmer, and the Matanuska Valley colony Many mining camps have sprung up the last 10 years and coupled with his development has been a slow, but steady influx If new people the Territory to make their homes.
 The increase in population in 1880 was TT per- cent over 1920 and the white population at that time was listed 28640 with Indians 29983 and others 655 It is probably that the increase the forthcoming census is taken will be mostly in white population and it can very well be double what it 10 years ago

SATURDAY, OCT. 15, 1888
 Adverse planetary aspects dom mate today, according to astrology. ] Uranus smiles on the Earth late in i the afternoon.
 Lack of confidence and a sense of impending perils may be common under this planetary government. Variable weather conditions may affect sensitive persons, ! By avoiding risks and pursuing routine affairs many difficulties may be escaped and good fortune attained while this configuration prevails. Speculation should be ta- ! booed.
 Women may be temperamental and irresponsible in their business or professional contacts under this direction of the stars which is most unfavorable to actresses and radio artists.
 After sunset the mind should ex- perience a distinct uplift as fears are put to flight. There is a sign suspicious for the beginning of friendships between young men and i young women.
 Interruptions to plans of univer- sity students are prognosticated for the new year Both girls and boys should make the most of the early classes.
 Labor unions are under adverse direction today when motives will be questioned and memberships in- vestigated. Sensa ational accusations will be numerous but not substan- tiated.
 International complication will result through the mistaken ideals of American youths who enlist in foreign armies. The high mortality in Spain twill cause protests from certain agencies in the United ! States.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of problems and exacting experiences. Parents may find it difficult to manage their children. Illness may cause heavy expenses.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be of kindly nature and ambitious aims Subjects of this sign may have varied talents that lead them to fame.

Learning From Sweden
(New York World-Telegraml


 The Presidents Special Commission has reported on how employers and employees get along in Sweden Like the commissions previous report Great Britain this contains many good pointers for American management unions and government
 The Swedes, like the British have learned how. They outgrew bilious class-conScousness and hatred long ago. Employers and employees are both organ zed nation basis and representatives of the two groups deal respectfully with each other under benign supervision of government and with all the parties alert to the truth that they gain through cooperation than strife
 The report tells of Swedish laws which our Congress and State legislatures might well consider, such the one which prohibits strikes or lockouts in connection with any dispute over the validity of a written collective bargaining contract or as to whether particular act constitutes an in fringe ment of the contract When unions and manage ment can't mediate such incidental dispute that they required to submit it to a labor court for binding decision. Meanwhile work goes on
 Under law of that type for instance there could have been such thing the senseess stoppage of work which occurred recently when in the Briggs body plant at Detroit, workers and management quarreled the speed of assembly line. two men were fired, their 5000 colleagues walked out and then 12000 other temporarily lost their jobs be- cause factories couldn't get the regular supply of bodies

rattled unexpected and unannounced, through Unter den Linden, down Wilhelmstrasse, long train of motorized anti-aircraft troops and equipment on the way to take up posi- tons around Berlin.
 Herr Hitler apparently had been waiting for it, for as its vanguard came down the street he appeared on his balcony with his three adjutants-army, navy and air force in attendance He was seen with them for the first time
 The streets were filled with people on their way home. They paused and wondered, Such display had never been seen except on special occasions such as when Premier Benito Mussoln or Admiral Nicholas Horthy, the Regent of Hungary was to be impressed.
 For the first time there was evidence of popular apprehension. Not cheer was heard Instead there were anxious looks and an exchange of eager inquiries.
 Wednesday there were heard for the first time since the Sudeten question became na- tional issue widespread expressions of fore boding as to where this was leading the Ger man people The doubt and questioning were universal
 Passers-by noted an unusual assembly of diplomatic cars at the Chancellery. A sense of something impending grew stronger. That night Propaganda Minister GoebbeS staged a large whoop-it-up rally for the Sudetens in the Lustgarten, but enthusiasm was not notable It was a gathering rather anxious and curious
 Before that rally was held Chancellor Hit Ter had summoned the four-power confer ence for the next day but Dr. Goebbels was not permitted to announce it, although Paris and London already were rejoicing. It was not until the next mornings newspapers ap- peared that Berlin knew the peril of war passing.

 What contrast can be found in dictator -rulet countries A glimpse into Germany during the recen Czechosovakia emergency is typical.

 There was a horror stricken glance by the mother in response. Then she said:

 It typical of the deep ignorance of the German people to what really going on. But knowledge was slowly seeping in, and the people appalled, by the pros pect. They had known only that Czechoslo- vakia being told to let the Sudeten Ger mans come home face the consequences.
 That seemed quite natural and not very dreadful. As for resistance what Czech oslovakia? For the German Army is would be a simple parade with a few shots fired
