Friend in Rural England.

Friend In Rural England.
To the Editor Of The Star
In these days when we have 80 much
to be thankful for in a free country 80
far removed from the stern realities of
war, 1t might be of interest to your read
ers to know how our English friends
across the sea carry on" and "do their
bit" in small country village in the
west of England.
A friend, whose only brother was
killed in the great war, writes from her
beautiful old country place, which she
had recently thrown open to receive eight
small children of the poorer classes evac-
uated from London:
"Rationing is to begin forthwith. One
time we hear ounces Of butter per

Poor Service on Car
Line Protested.
~ H. -laA

To the Editor Of The Star:
A resident Of Southwest Washington,
I use the wharves cars constantly, and
consider the service not only bad, but an
insult to the public. Like many people,
I buy the weekly pass, which. besides
rides, gives me hours of waiting, during
which time one can catch colds more
frequently than cars.
Also the discourteous treatment on
this route is particularly noticeable. We
pay as good money and are entitled
to as good service as any route in the
city. If there is no improvement in the
near future I shall be compelled to
change my address.

COMPROMISE

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 4.-Reports reached Stockholm today that Russia may offer to compromise with Finland if the Films will cede the island of Utoe for a Soviet naval base in the Baltic.
 Utoe lies south of the strategic Aaland Islands between Finland and Sweden The Aaland Islands were specifically omitted from the Russian demands on Finland, al though they had figured promin- ently in speculation before the de- mands were disclosed
 Swedish circles pointed out that the Films could grant the Rus sians base on Utoe Island, with out yielding in their determina- tion not to give up mainland ter ritory on the Hangoe Peninsula. However there is no confirmation for the report of a compromise solution.

Record Vote Predicted
For 0-Thursdoy Election

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 81. CUP)-
Deputy Secretary of State Charles
Hagerty today predicted the con-
troversy over the Ham and Eggs
pension issue would bring out at
least 80 per cent of the registered
voters in California at the Nov. 7
election.
An 80 per cent turnout would be
an all-time record for off-year bal
loting although the 1886 presiden-
tial election established an 83 per
cent total and The 1882 ballot drew
80 per cent. The fight over go
Thursday" last November was part
ly responsible for the "a per cent
vote, since 94 per cent of those
voting cast a ballot on the pension
measure.
The defeat of Ham and Eggs in
1888 gave the pensioners a slim
margin in six of the states So
counties - Merced Kern, MADEIRA,
Mariposa, Stanislaus, and San Die
go. The influx of transients and
migratory labor in the San Joaquin
Valley is expected to bring a similar

The third district court of appeals

theirs convicted of kidnapping Mrs.
Norma Meeks, wife of a Sutter

employers or employees, a weekly
sum of 80 one-dollar warrants. The
undertaking would be financed by
tWo-cent stamps affixed TO the back
of each warrant each week, and a
3 per cent gross income tax on all
incomes above $1,000.
Both factions took advantage OF
the final week before the election
to make new claims and charges.
Opponents released statement
signed by 138 economists of II
major California colleges and uni
versities, assailing the Ham and
Eggs plan as 'fallacious in theory
and unavoidable in practice"
Ham and Eggs leaders conceded
their chief hope of carrying the
election was to pile up a majority
in southern California, since the
pension groups are not as well or
ganized in northern counties. Most
of the $460,000 collected by the or
ganization up to Oct. 10 was spent
in Los Angeles and surrounding
counties.
If the plan is defeated next
Tuesday, however, pension leaders
have announced it will be placed
on the ballot again in 1910. They
declare Inauguration of Ham ano
Eggs will END unemployment, stlm-
ulate production and business, IN
sure prosperity for California, ano
open the way for national adoption
