DAVIES REPORTS

|ON STAIN TALK
D iC t ator Discusses
World Affairs

G.N.S) Joseph E. Davies. re-
firing ambassador to Soviet Rus
sia, paid a surprise visit to Wash.
ington today to report to Presl-
dent Roosevelt on his recent two
hour conversation with Josef
Stain.
Davis return from Europe,
where he is now stationed at
Brussels as Ambassador to Bel
GUM, was unheralded and unan-
nounced. 1t was learned ne
would be in the United States
about a week "on business" before
returning to Europe.
Considerable interest attaches
to Davies report. inasmuch as he
was the only foreign ambassador
received by Stain in the past few
years. The interview was arranged
in order that Davies could take
ceremonial leave of his Moscow
post. But the almost unapproach-
able dictator became so interested
that in the end they had a two
hour conference and a thorough
discussion of world affairs. It
provided a mild sensation in Mos
COW and European capitals at the
time.
Davies, whose departure from
Europe was unreported, arrived
in New York last night.

CITIZENS STORY
Committee Chairman
Describes Work

d.N.S.) The story of the
Johnstown, Pa, citizens COM
mittee, organized during the
little steel" strike of June last
year, was unfolded before the
Senate Civil Liberties Committee
today.
It was told, in the main, by
Francis c. Martin, president of
the Johnstown Chamber of eom-
merce, chairman of the now de-
funct committee and cashier of
the United States National Bank
there.
BETHLEHEM OFFER CITED
During his detailed recital of
the objectives and formation of
the committee which played an
important part in the strike at
the Cambria plant Of the Beth
lehem Steel Company, Martin said
the Bethlehem company offered
to contribute $4,000 to the COM
mittee, but it was not established
that the contribution was made.
Martin testified the offer was
made by Sidney Evans, personnel
manager at the Cambria plant,
during q meeting called to or
ganiZe the committee.
Evans said that in view Of
the company's large property
holdings the company wanted
to maintain law and order and
that it was willing to contribute
$25, 900, or more, to help finance
the committee" Martin testi-
fled.
LA TOILETTE SWITCHES QUIZ
At this point Senator La Fol
Iette CP.) of Wisconsin, chairman
of the committee, switched to
other details of the organization
of the committee, and did not
follow up Martins statement.
Martin said the first funds for
the committee were solicited at a
mass meeting held the day follow
ing the strike call on June IL.
mo money was collected at
Ehe meeting, but an appeal for
funds was made which later
brought us $780," Martin added.
He said that people came into
the bank the next day and handed
at to me-" but that it was not
burned over to Fulton Connor, an
pfficial at the Cambria plant. who
had been made treasurer of the
epmmittee.
CONNOR ON DUTY A WEEK
/ "I turned the money over to
one Of the assistant cashiers at
the bank" Martin said. I'VE
thought 1t would be better If

money that came from Bethle-

Connor served as treasurer "a

LIVE WIRES

The town values a certain type oi
person who is called a "live wire
Such a man or woman can have al
most anything in sight. If man
gets that reputation. he is sure OF
promotion in his occupation. II a
woman has it, she is sought out to be
a leader of society and organization
life.
What constitutes a "live wireT
The willingness to take hold and do
things is the principal element. If
you ask a live wire" to serve on
some committee for the benefit of his
home town or some organization, he
doesn't say he is too tired or too
busy. He somehow finds time. If
other people think he can do that
thing he can, and he goes ahead and
does it. The doors open wide for
that kind Of person.

SIGNS OF THE HEAVENS

A recent brilliant display of auro-
ra borealis, or northern lights, which
spread masses of red color over the
American sky, is said to have alarm
ed many of the people Of Europe,
who thought it meant war or some
other catastrophe.
Many people used to think, when
the sun was eclipsed, that the world
was about to come to an end. A
comet was once regarded as a sign
of war. Probably many people still
entertain these views. Meanwhile
the scientists tell us sunspots or
magnetic storms cause such displays
as the northern lights.
Majestic forces produce such won
ders in nature. Man is like the
merest insect, compared with these
great sweeping powers that turn the
stars in their orbits and make the
suns give forth their great volumes
of heat. The little fuses and pas
sions of daily life look trifiing, when
we compare them with the majesty OF
the heavens.

YOUR BEAU's EATING HABITS

GeIett Burgess, noted humorist
says a girl shonld not encourage a
man until she has seen him eat. He
might devour a plate of chowder or
ear of corn like a primordial beast,
said Mr.. Burgess.
So when the boy friend takes you
out, young lady, better watch how
he puts down his chowder. If he
gulps it down like starving dog, he
may not be any prize to parade be-
fore your relatives. The doors of So
ciety won't probably swing wide for
him. When he gets out among the
business men, they will perhaps say
he is too many decades behind the
modern world.
1t may be objected that some men
with coarse manners have climbed
high peaks of fame. Considering
that good manners win great prizes,
and that they cost nothing. it seems
rather slow not to learn them.

sICKLY CHILD, NOW 100

John Michael Horan of Milwaukee
who at IL years of age was called
a sickly child, is now 100. and is
still working as an inspector Of loco
motives.
Such a life conveys two lessons
First, that a multitude Of children
who seem to have but frail health
may develop into strong and re-
sourceful people, if given good care
Second, that one way TO live TO a
great age is to keep on working. The
mind and body seem to rust out if
unemployed. This idea that men and
women are through when they get
to be 60 or 65 or 20 or some other
age, seems all wrong.
The old-time family found work
for it's old folks. If they could not
do a full days work, they did what
they could, and the healthful activity
added years to their lives.
