The date of St. Paul's death is
not clearly known but it was about
the year St. He seems to have
been between 64 and and 10 years
of age at the time he died.
Paul was born in Tarsus. a city
in Asia Minor. 1t still exists, in
the Southern part of Turkey. The
present population Of Tarsus, or
'Terseus," is $4,000.
Pauls real name was Saul" and
he came to be known as Saul
of Tarsus." The Bible, however,
speaks of him as Paul" in his
later life. In his early years, he
was tent maker, but his heart
was not in the work He wanted
to be priest of the Jewish faith.
At last he was able to 60 to Jeru-
salem and there he studied to be-
come a rabbi
After the death of Jesus, a high
priest sent him to Damascus to
work against the Christians. In

ed before him in the vision. In
stead Of working against the Chris
tiens. he Joined them.
During the rest of his life, Paul
was an important preacher of the
Christian faith. He made JOURNEYS
to far places and started churches
IN several cities. More than once
ne was cast into prison, but while
inside prison walls he was able to
write letters to his friends. Some
OF his letters, or "epistles,' later
were gathered together and they
formed many pages in the New Test
ament of the Bible. Although he
was jew, Paul was classed As a
Roman citizen because he was born
in the Roman city of Tarsus.

not be the average earnings of the past few years. Business would stag nate under these earnings. Since business has paid out billions of dol lars from surplus in the depression years, is it not sound and construc- tive that, if earnings are bettered, business should retain the benefit?
 Business must rebuild its surplus account for there are other storms coming in the future. Business could not pull through a depression period with an empty granary. Its granary is now sadly depleted and it is only logical that it be allowed to store something for the inevitable day of trial.
 No Penalties
 'sThis implies that business should not be penalized with an excess profits tax that will prevent it from building the financial bulwark ne- cessary to withstand the economic shocks which are certain to rise ir any war period, whether or not this nation is successful in its determi. nation to stay out of the war. The war clouds have, in fact, thrown g shadow over the increasingly clear recognition that had been develop ing about the necessity of a full re- consideration of our tax situation and its relationship to government needs as well as its effect on busi- ness activity"

NEW LOWRECORD
 FOR DIPHTHERIA

Diptheria incidence may reach Q new record low for Connecticut this year 1t was indicated today in the weekly bulletin of the state depart ment of health which announced that only twenty-seven cases were reported for the first half of 1889. Application of immunization pro- cedures to children, especially to infants under one year of age has been an important factor in this reduction, 1t stated. If advantage is taken of these well known preven- tive measures nobody need have the disease, the bulletin said, and par ents were urged to have their chil- dren immunized aganist diphtheria and tested to show that immunity is maintained.
 After the establishment of 8 rec ord low of D6 cases reported in the state for 193j diphtheria increased to 264 cases in 1887, according to the bulletin. This was the highest number reported for several years. In 1888 reported cases of the dis ease dropped to 187, it was said, and a continuation of this trend Is ape parently taking place.

It seems possible that such groups of non-college stu- dents may be kept entirely separate from college groups although we are advised that no decision has been made in this connection yet. II such . plan is followed 1t might well open up participation in the flight training program to vocation and trade schools in which are seudents between the age limits of IS and 25 years"
 No Deadilne
 Mir. williams also said, Tt seems that no deadline has been set with respect to applications for partici- patton in the Civilian Pilot Training Program by the 5 per cent of nor- college students, but it would be the part of good judgment for any edu- cational institution interested in this situation to write to the Civil Aeronautics Authority, Washington, D. C., promptly, expressing such an interest and requesting consideration as soon as definite decisions rela- tive to this part of flight training program have been made. The Aeronautical Development Commis- sion will be glad to render any as- sistance that 1t can to any organi- zations within the state that have such an interest.

BILLINGS FREED BY GOV. OLSON
Life Sentence Is Commuted
 But Full Pardon May Come Later

Folsom Prison, Cal, Oct. 17-(UP) Warren K. Billings, the forgotten man" of the San Francisco pre- paredness day bombing case, joins Tom Mooney in freedom today after serving 9 years. Governor Culbert L. Olson, who pardoned Mooney last January 2, late yesterday com- muted Billings life sentence for degree murder to time served" and expressed the hope that full par don would follow. The commuta- tion, after being signed in San Francisco by Olson, was taken to Sacramento for the afaxing of the governors and the state seals be- fore being forwarded to Folsom prison. It was expected to reach Warden Clyde Hummer before noon. Billings release will follow immediately. Olson acted on recom- mendation of majority of the state supreme court to whom he sent the prisoners application for a pardon on October II.
 Previously Convicted
 Billings had been previously con- victed of a felony-illegal possession of 60 sticks of dynamite-and Cali fornia law made him ineligible for pardon without consent of the supreme court. Olson pointed out, however, that this did not figure in his conviction and suggested he might have power to isue 8 full pardon. Olson said he was con- vinced that Billings, like Mooney, was convicted on "perjured testi- /, mony and through suppression of evidence" and that he was inno- cent.
 I'm pleased, of course" said Billings. He said he had no alter native "but to accept a commuta- tion." He will make his future plans after he confers with his attorney he said.
 Billings and Mooney "broke" fl 1883, when the former sought { parole, a move which Mooney in. sisted was an admission of guilt Mooney, the central figure in long legal battle, held out till the last for full pardon. q
 Billings, now 46, was convicted on September Il, 1916, les than two months after a bomb exploded al Stuart and Market streets in San Francisco. Ten persons were killed and 40 injured.
 Co-defendant with Billings was Israel Weinberg, who was accused of driving Billings and Mooney tc the spot where the bomb was placed Weinberg was acquitted.
 Mooney was tried separately, and was convicted the following Feb- ruary. Sentenced to hang, his sen. tence was commuted to life impris. onment by Governor W. D Stephens after President Woodrow Wilson intervened.
 A Mooney defense committee sponsored by the moulders' unior of which he was member, carried his case to the state and Unitet States supreme courts on many oc' casionS.
 For nearly a quarter of a centur! the Mooney Billings case was cause celebre throughout the world with labor unions, liberals ant statesmen fighting for their release Labor. particularly local, charges the men were '.railroaded" by utilit! interests.
 When Olson ran for governor o California last year, he promiset immediate freedom for Moone and Billings" He carried out tn first part within month after h took office, but it required nearl 10 months to free Billings. Tom Parity Pleased Pittsburgh, Oct. IT. (UP)-Tn formed that Warren K. Billing

ELMER E. ANDREWS
 HAS RESIGNED

Washington, Oct. 17.-(UP)- President Roosevelt today announced the resignation, effective yesterday, of Wage Hour Administrator Elmer F. Andrews and detailed Col. Philip Fleming of the army engineers to take over Andrews post.
 Because of a technicality in army regulations, Fleming will assume the duties of the wage-hour adminiS- trator, but not the title.
 Andrews will have position on the engineering staff of the Re- construction Finance Corporation.
 Presidential Secretary Stephen T. Early said that Fleming will be as- signed as assistant to the acting administrator of the wage-hour di- vision in the labor department This designation, Early said, com- plies with army technicalities. Ac- tually, however, Fleming is being assigned to the labor department to take over Andrews duties and his minor title will be only nominal, Early indicated.

Although cries of profiteering have been heard, there is no real evidence of any widespread effort of this type, Henry H. Heimann de- clares in his monthly Review of Business, released today to the as- sociation's 10000 banking, manufac- turing and wholesaling members throughout the country.
 "The real feeling of business to- wards war profits has awakened in the average consumer realization that the great majority of business men are no different than others and do not wish to realize profits based upon war and the suffering and privation it brings. Business men know that in the end such
 gains react so severely in all direc-
 tions that they would prefer to have
 no part of them," the credit execu- tive states.
 Serious Consideration "Closely allied to war profits, however, is something that does de-
 serve serious consideration. The profits of industry in the past 10 years have been subnormal Our ir- dustry, our standard of living could not have been built up if the return on industrial investment had been no greater than that which has
 been current in the past decade. Billions of dollars have been paid out of the surplus accounts of in-
 dustries during the depression years. "There has been great deal Of talk in some places about unusual
 profits. While a flat charge has not been made that business is engaged in war progeteering, there is clear implication that the situation abroad will bring to business men 8
 considerably increased profit. It will, no doubt, increase profits but this will be the kind of rise business
 cannot escape rather than one &C., lively sought.
 Taxing Profits
 Because of this, many suspect
 that the groundork may be laid for
 a so-called excess profits tax. This would seek to tax away unusual
 earnings by business. Were we in
 war, it would be hard to defend any policy giving a free hand to business in the matter of earnings.
 Business men, generally, recog- nize that if we are engaged in war in the future, profits will be largely recaptured so that excessive war earnings, like service at the front,
 will be placed on patriotic rather
 than a compensatory basis. Some
 business men may not like this but
 none can argue against its fairness and only an unimaginative business
 ma deies its ievitability in case of conflict.
 "But that differs materially from
 any plan to recapture profits be-
 fore we are engaged in conflict. We may well ask, what are normal
 profits? Certainly, the answer could

Recoenizing that the legislation under which the Civil Aeronautics Authority was authorized to carry out the Civilian Pilot Training Pro- gram provided that 5 per cent of the enrollees should be non-college students, Harvey L. Williams, chair man, of the Connecticut Aefonautical Development Commission recently addressed an inquiry to the Civil Aeronautics Auttroity to find out if students in trade and vocational schools throughout the state might participate in the program under this provision.

 In Hartford today Mir. Williams said that he had received reply from the Civil Aeronautics Author fly which indicated that decison with respect to plans for training the 5 per cent non-college enrolment had not yet been fully determined. Inasmuch as the program calls for the training of 11,000 student sthe per cent of non-college students will total $50 for the entire country.
