We'll Keep Point Roberts

The Vancouver Sun. of Canadas most important
daily puts forth the hopeful suggestion that the
United States might want to give up Point Roberts
Canada
Point Roberts is that small peninsula which sticks down
from Canada but is really part of the state Washing
ton and the United States.
AS Point Roberts stands it is merely nuisance
to both countries" the Vancouver paper writes.
Our good friend to the north is wrong in this-it may
be nuisance to Canada but it certainly is not to

Point Roberts is marvellous resort with the warmest,
longest sandy beach north of California As time
it will undoubtedly become of Americas greatest
resort centers.
Indeed it would be nice for Canada to it proof
of its value thousands of Canadians visit Point Roberts

But if it is worthwhile for Canada it certainly worth

REPLIES TO COMPLAINTS
ABOUT HUMANE SOCIETY

Editor, The Times: To the
letters appearing recently in the
newspapers regarding the shoot
ing of dogs and cats, and to the
abusive anonymous letters sent
me, l would like to reply.
AS the humane society receives
no financial aid from either
city or county, we have refused
to hold any dogs for observation
of rabies at our shelter home.
We have, however, agreed to CO.
operate with city and county
health departments by taking,
when occasion demanded, a
county dog showing symptoms
of rabies, to the city pound for
observation.
Beyond doubt much of this
shooting of animals has not been
done by quarantine officers but
by INSCRIPTIONS persons having
grudge against some dog, who
have taken advantage of the
present SITUATION, 10 snoot the
animal knowing that deputies
would be blamed for the act.
We are convinced. that the
shooting of Mrs. Guinn's cat was
done by some sportsmen since
many of them detest cats and
shoot them at every opportunity.
The city pound men do not shoot
cats and county health deputies
had strict orders from the first
of the quarantine. not to shoot
cats. Our humane officer does
not resort to shooting a cat I'M
less too badly injured to remove.
The Humane society opposes
the use of the shot gun and
feels that a rifle is quicker and

Tom Dewey threat In 1910 Is
almost grotesque. II explains
why Henry Morgenthau is be-
atedly scrutinizing Jimmie
Hines income tax returns-also
why Attorney General Murphy
sought to corral some of the
credit for forcing the resignation
of Judge Manton.
The New Dealers profess to
make light OF Mr.. Dewey as a
young upstart" who has DEM
onstrated none of the qualifica-
tons for the presidency. They
never miss chance to ridicule
him. and the general expecta-
ton here was that he would not
obtain u conviction of the New
Dealers patronage dispenser in
New York city--Mr. Hines. Now
that he has disappointed them,
they reveal their concern by
threatening income tax investi-
cation and prosecution of their
erstwhile political favorite.
The New York prosecutor Is
flashing down the presidential
track too fast to suit the Roose-
welt crowd. Despite his defeat
by Herbert Lehman. he still leads
all private and public polls. Her
bert Hoover and ALI Landon--
the COPS squabbling titular
heads on almost every
other policy and personality, but
they unite in their support of
Mr.. Dewey. That's why the
Messrs. Morgenthau and Murphy
are staying awake nights trying
to elbow him off the national
political stage.
Despite Dewey's triumph in
the Hines trial-first in n series
he expects to demonstrate that
he has broken the alliance be-
tween politics and the underworld
-topnotch Republicans do not
envissge him as their 1910 cham
pion. They award him second
place. or possibly the Attorney
Generalship II the COP stages a
national comeback.
Senator Bob Taft of Ohio still
headlines the lists in the winters
political books. The reasons are
the orthodox ones-hls name and
his state and the chance to strut
his stuff on senatorial stage
but they appeal particularly to
the politicos, who will do the
nominating. II a private canvass
were taken of key GoP-ers' fav-
orites as of today, the ticket
would be Taft for president and
Dewey for vice president. Out
side choices for one place or an
other would be Governor Bricker
of Ohio and Senator Lodge OF
the Bay State--au comparative
ly young men.
The COP, no fooling. counts
on winning a year from next No
vemher. They expect, on the basis
of last Novemberls returns and
private polls. to carry all New
England. New York. Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio. Illinois. Michigan,
Indiana and sufficient sgricul-
tursl states to give them 8 ma
jority in the electoral college.
That's why they are counting
and incubsting political chickens
like Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Dewey.

Mingled good and evil plane
tary influences are discerned
today, according to astrology.
In the morning hours there may
be lack of concentration and an
inclination to find fault.
Judgment is likely to be I'M
trustworthy and egotism preva-
lent under this rule of the stars.
Decisions should be delayed un-
til better aspects rule.
Salfishness will be apparent
among persons who should place
public welfare first. Individual
ism will have developed to
point of peril for the common
good.
This is a lucky day for signing
ones name whether it be to a
contract or a letter. Editors
and writers should profit while
the CONFORMATION prevails.
Changes on newspaper staffs
will be sweeping in coming
weeks when old policies and old
traditions will be discarded by
metropolitan journals of note.
Death will remove noted jour-
nalist.
Girls may have a dull week.
There will be few invitations
from young men for dances or
dinners. The stars presage little
heart interest among col e G
students.
The evening should be for
tunate for theaters and for play
ers. Motion pictures continue
under an aspect that foreshad-
ows difficulties in distribution.
Foreign markets may be unsat-

lean films will be insistent.
Gold mining is to add much
wealth to the United States next
summer when California will
discover new stores Of the pre-

Benefic aspects are strong to-

active, according to astrolegy.
The full Moon OF this date pre-
sages improvement in intterna-
tional relations.
Labor is under a sign threat
ening TO many industries. and
especially to L. s. harbors.
Wrong thinking will be encour-

by agitators and propagandists.
This is not a favorable sway
for church dignitaries, who are
likely to meet new perplexities
in formulating policies. Prot
estant churches are subject TO
promising signs.
Writing is well directed today;
letters should be more than
commonly effective. Newspa-
pers will profit this year. which
will produce historic events of
major Importance.
Romance will be notably alb
sent today. Sunday evening
callers will be lukewarm in their
attentions, it is foretold.
Mexico should benefit at this
time when Jupiter is in an as
pect most promising to the peo-
pie. Guatemala also is under
fortunate guidance.
Canada will be closer to Unit
ed States in social and trade re-
lations than at any time in the
past, if the stars are rightly
read. Delegations of visitors to
Washington, d. c., are presaged.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a year of
progress. For many, inheri-
tances are probable. Extrava-
CANT ideas, however, should be
curbed.
Children born on this day may

Stock Averages
By VICTOR EUBANK,

ASSOCldteQ FTeoS r FIQaNcl2I writer.
NEW YORK. Sept. 14.-The stock
market followed an erratic course
today. with some favored shares
pushed l to 3 points higher at their
best and others slipping with little
support by about the same margin.
At the finish the list was very
mixed. Trading was active and
transfers approximated 100000
shares.
Rails, utilities, rubbers, merchan-
diSing shares and specialties enjoyed
demand most Of the day, but were
inclined to drop away from their
tops in the final hour.
SteelS were subjected to realizing
from the opening on and, while they
managed some improvement, were
not given sufficient support for
lift. At times motors and aircrafts
were bid up a little.
Presidents Call Reflected.
The confused nature Of the ses-
sion, reflected, brokers said, the be-
Wilderment Of traders who, antici-
pating some sort of business punch
as a result Of the conflict abroad,
were chary about predicting its ex-
tent or the industries that might be
benefited.
The Presidents action in calling
| a special session Of Congress for.
September q, earlier than had been
expected, was followed by a slight
hoist based on the possibility OF re-
| peal Of the Neutrality Act, but II
failed 10 hold.
Sober second thought was given to
the idea that were the act to be
ended, some form of profit reStric-
tions might be adopted thus cutting
the dividends that could be expected
from our trade with the belligerents.
Considerable Switching.
A feature Of the DAY was the con-
siderable switching from one group
to another that went on contin-
uously. Much Of this came, it was
said, from investing companies re-
arranging their portfolios in view OF
the changed conditions.
The idea that the hostilities might
be long-draWn-out was conveyed by
Premier Chamberlain advice to
Commons that there can be no
peace until the menace of Hitlerism
has been finally removed"

French Provincial Style
OF Furniture Is Revived

French provincial furniture, now
that it is being revived, is sure to
be with US for long time for it is
beautiful in itself, it is moderately
priced, and it can be combined so
well with early American styles.
Many women, who like little vari-
ETY. in their rooms, will delight to
find that the simple, graceful chairs
of beechwood and Of cherry in this
French vein. mix perfectly with ma
pie tables and chairs.
There are charming upholstered
armchairs, too, from which to
choose, and many handsome little
occasional tables, some of the TERED
variety, others with sunken recep-
tacles for plants, and still others
for bedside use and for service for
afternoon tea or after dinner coffee.
Whether you are doing an entire
room or are merely investing in q
piece or two you'll have no difficulty
in finding charming furniture in
French provincial style.
