for assurances that there will be
passed at this session of congress
no more laws for regulating bust
ness.
"The real cause of the present re-
cession," said Davis, "is lack of
confidence in the future, caused ac-
cumulatively by the passage of laws
eliminating in the undistributed
profits tax and the threat of the
wages and hours bill"
There is no question in the minds
of business men, he said, that these
steps would restore confidence:
l. Repeal of the undivided profits
tax. ....l
2. A sharp modification in the
amount of capital gains tax.
8. Liberalization of the security
exchange and commodity exchange
rules to provide more liquid mar
kets.
4. Assurance that, at this session
at least, there will be no additional
laws passed further regulating bust
ness, such as the wage-hour bill.

"kiser" Paine

J. H. Paine was a composer and
critic who was a friend of Frank
Chickering's. 1t was generally
supposed that Paine was poor. His
name is associated with an expe-
rience which befell his benefactor,
Chickering. To the latter Paine in
trusted package wrapped in q
bandana handkerchief. Assuming
that the content was manuscripts,
Chickering placed the package in
safe. Seventeen years later the
Impoverished" friend died. In
the presence of Paine's legal rep
resentatives, the package was
opened. 1t contained over $500, 900
worth of bonds and currency.

Stain Checks the Purge

MOT a single bit of legislative
4 y work was accomplished by the
first session of the new parliament
in Soviet Russia. But there was a
lot of speech making, and external
enemies, especially Japan, were de-
nounced and defied.
Dictator Josef Stain, through the
central committee, ordered an end
to the mass expulsion of Communist
party members, which has usually
been followed by death, Punishment
or loss of jobs.
Pravda, the Communist party
newspaper, indicated satisfaction
with the results of the purge, but
assailed ''rotten leaders, who
played into the enemy's hands. Gun
der the mask of false vigilance
agents Of Fascism sought to break
up and GUST from the ranks our
bolshevist personnel" Pravda said.

Honors for "Old Pete"

When the moguls of baseball de-
creed recently that the newest niche
in the hall of fame at Cooperstown,
N. Y, should be filed by Grover
Cleveland Alexander they made a
move that is certain to be popular
with fans everywhere. There had
been grumblings because he was not
named earlier and belief by some
that he might never attain the hon.

cold Pete," the great pitcher who
stood National league batters ON
their heads for 20 years, joins Sc
lect company including Ty Cobb,
Babe Ruth, Hans Wagner, Christy
Mathewson, Walter Johnson, NapO-
leon Lajoi, Iris Speaker and Cy
Young, all named In past ballots
as the games outstanding players
since 1900.
Alex never pitched no-hitter,
but that was about the only thing he
missed. He turned in four one-hit
games in 1915, a record which will
probably never be equalled. He
won % games in 1911, his first big
league season and for three straight
years beginning in 1915 he won 80 or
more victories.
When all these tremendous pitch
ing feats are forgotten, Alex will
be remembered for a single strike
out he chalked UP in the 1925 world
series between the St. Louis Cardi-
nails and the New York Yankees.
1t was the seventh inning Of the
final game. The Cards were leading
3 to 2. The Yanks had the bases
loaded, two down and Tony Lazzerf
at bat. Alex, who had won nine
inning game the day before, was
called by H0rnsby to relieve Jess
Haines.
"Old Pete" walked slowly to the
pitching mound and set Lazzeri
down on three pitches. Then he
plodded YEARLY through the last
two innings to win the game and the
first worlds championship for st.
Louis.

MacP hail's New Job

T AIRY MAC PHAIL, who at
II tempted to kidnap Kaiser Will
helm after the armistice and wound
I'D with the imperial ash tray, ac-
cepted an even more hazardous as
signment recently when he became
executive vice president of the Brook
Ign Dodgers.
MacPhail's appointment repre-
sents the most drastic step yet TAX
en- by the bankers to untangle the
snarl which has gripped the Dodg-
ers for Is years. Ever since the
deaths of Charles H. Ebbets and
Edward j. McKeever within ten
days Of each other in the spring of
1925, the affairs Of the Brooklyn
club, on and of the field, have been
a succession Of errors.
McPhail is the third business
manager the Dodgers have had in
the last four years, but the first
with any authority.

More Woe for Jews

p UMANIA'S government, headed
N by Premier Octavian COCA, is
so anti-Semitic that thousands of
Jews are seeking means of escape
from the country. Jewish commit
tees visited foreign consulates in
Bucharest to ask about the possibil-
ity of emigration to Brazil, Ethio-
pia, Madagascar, Mexico, or Aus
tralia. One of the latest moves of
the government is the issuance of
orders that make virtually impos-
sible the intermarriage of Jews and
gentiles.
All alien Jews not engaged in
farming were given 80 days in
which to quit Ecuador, under a de-
cree by the provisional military gov
eminent of Col. Alberto Eriquez.

Reindeer Is Essential
to Existence of Lapps


The reindeer is absolutely essen
tial to the existence of the nomac
Lapp. His herd supplies him with
food, clothing, and shelter, accord
ing to an authority in the Chicago
Tribune.
The people eat reindeer meat all
the year 'round-the fresh meat in
autumn and winter, smoked and
sailed in spring and summer. Their
winter garments, their blankets and
bedding are reindeer skins and furs.
The tents or tepees are hung with
reindeer skins for warmth. Most of
the Laps simple and limited
household gear is made from rein
deer hide, horn, and bone. Coarse
thread, string, and heavy cord
are manipulated out of the sinews.
The babies cradles and the pull
kas are made with reindeer hides.
The pulkas are the odd-looking lit
tie sleds or sleighs without runners
that rest fat on the snow. They
are shaped like the front end of
small canoe cut in half, pointed in
the bow, and cut square across the
rear end. These are drawn by rein
deer, and the driving harness is
made from reindeer sinews.
The Lapp cannot live without the
reindeer; the reindeer cannot live
without the Lapp.
The Lapp is not adaptable to any
other mode of living. City or in
dustrial life in the factory or Office
is impossible to him. These vast
northern territories are uninhabita-
BILE for any human beings except
these people. They live and thrive
in hardships that white men will not
endure. The Lapp is hardy despite
his small stature and light weight.
