as the Ambassador, DR.. Aurelio F.
Concheso, and his family returned
to Cuba several weeks ago. As
ambassadors are the personal rep
resentatives Of the heads Of govern
ments, 1t is the custom for these
emissaries in foreign capitals to
resign when there is change in
the head of their government. This
DR.. Concheso did shortly after the
recent visit of DR.. Grau in this
country when DR.. and Sonora de
Concheso gave a large and brilliant
reception in his honor in the
Embassy.
While the reception at the Cuban
Embassy was q Cuban family at
fair, the reception which Mr..
and Mrs. Edgar Morris gave in
their attractive home on Linnean
avenue included a large number Of
diplomats, as their entertainments
usually do. Yesterday afternoon
they gave a party in honor Of the
Naval Attache of the Brazilian En-
bassy, Rear Admiral Sylvio de No
ronha, who shared honors with
Capt. Edmund Edward Brady, U. S.
N. and Mrs. Brady. Following their
custom, Mr.. Morris stood with the
honor guests to welcome the COM
pany in the beautifully furnished
drawing room of the mansion, and
Mrs. Morris moved about the recep-
ton rooms seeing that her guests
met each other and that they were
amply served with many delicacies
with which the dining table was
laden. Many of these are from the !
hostess own recipes.
The buffet was laid on the porch
and at the far end beverages were
served from an attractive small bar
Guests enjoyed the brisk autumn
air and the imposing view of the
city. with the beautiful trees so
rapidly donning their brilliant fall
colors.
Mrs. Morris wore an afternoon
gown Of exquisite black lace, the
skirt swirling into a circular hem
line and slightly trailing the floor
She wore her diamond jewels and
huge cluster of purple-lipped or
chids. Mrs. Brady likewise chose
black for the occasion, her gown of
crepe having a narrow ruffle at the
front, lined with turquoise blue, and
the delicate feather ornament in
her hair matched the trimming of
her smart floor-length gown.
Mrs. Morris seldom uses many
flowers for her parties, but yester-
day large vases of flame-color gladi-
oluses and fragrant roses picked upI
the warm colors of her handsome |
draperies and other furnishings. In
the cozy library of the house an
open fire blazed, and the hosts

and other objets dart as usual at

Do you have poor digestion! Do you feel headachy after eating? Do you get sour or upset easily? Do you feel tired-IistIess?

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digested properly.
 Each day, Nature must produce about two pints of vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails. your food may remain undigested- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly =. often in as little as 30 minutes. And, you're on the road to feeling better.

Two million Allied soldiers now are fighting their way into the Ger man Rhineland, which Adolf Hitler remilitarized in 1886 in defiance oi the Versailles treaty, the 1925 Lo- carno pact and the League of Ma lions.
 It is argued widely that had World War Allies countered Hitler's order to march by immediate, united action, there might be no Siegfried line today.
 But there was no solid Allied stand in 1886, even after the coun- eli of the League of Nations de- rounced the German move and France, demanding war, manned her Maginot line. Britain warned Hitler that she was honor-bound tc assist France and Belgium should Germany attack, but Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin said Britain hoped lCl q UT pdl lltC 1iiSiiuoiiiJ 14Ad N"s mot ready for war;
 Hitler took the signing of mu- tual assistance pact between France and Russia as his excuse to send some 50,000 troops into the Rhine land between March ' and 10, 1886 He said it was a precaution against Communism and Frances "iror ring around the Reich" He asked admission into the League as "s comrade instead of a conquered na- tion' and proposed 25-yeai French German Belgian peace pact

Justice For Shippers And Railroads

Concerned particularly over the attack on railroad making procedure in the antitrust suit filed last August against the carriers, the National Industrial Traffic League, representing the bulk Of the nations large shippers, has resolved to urge the Department of Justice to withdraw the suit
 The league urged, instead, enactment by Congress of new legislation to provide with respect to rail rates: First, that no action of a bureau or committee under regulations established by the Interstate Commerce Commission shall hinder ac- tion on rates by an individual carrier; second that carriers operating through ate-making bodies be relieved from anti trust laws only to the extent that actions of such bodies are within regulations of the IC.C.
 Stating the reasons for asking with drawal of the suit, the league said it be- lieved that if objectiveS of the action were attained they would "tend to destroy beneficial practice and procedure of long standing contrary to the public interest and to the disadvantage of shippers ot the country"
 Such an expression of opinion by the greatest organization of shippers in the U. S.. the men who pay the freight, is highly significant. They do not want disruption and demoralization of rate making practices which for 50 years have been under the jurisdiction of Interstate Commerce Commission.
 If the Department of Justice wishes to carry out the intent of the antitrust laws, rather than play politics, it can accom- plish it's purpose by following the practl- cal suggestions of the National Industrial Traffic League, thereby avoiding con fusion, damage and Encouragement to shippers, carriers and postwar reconver- sion plans.

Unsung Allies

Research specialists have always been the unsung heroes of human progress. Not until the present war; did the full impact of their 1abors strike home. In the field of petroleum alone, they have literally won the war for the United Nations.
 The director of research of leading oil company observes that: Probably the most dramatic illustration of the con- tribution of research in the petroleum in- dustry to the war effort is offered by the case of 1O0-octane aviation gasoline By now, virtually everyone realizes that the availability of this fuel in vast quantities is, to a considerable extent, responsible for the success of the allies modern mill itary aviation. However, few people stop to ask the question, How much 100-- octane gasoline is there in crude oil and how is it eXtracted?' The answer is a little startling. There is no 100-octane gasoline in crude. The basic ingredients of this vital war material are made by chemical synthesis methods (artificially created) using certain petroleum frac- tionS as raw materials. Prior to the start of the war effort the total United States production of 100-octane gasoline was about 25,O00 barrels per calendar day. Currently it is produced at at least twenty times that rate. If it were not for this contribution of research to the manufac- ture of high performance aviation fuel, the allied air services would be restricted to about one-fifth as much aviation gaso- line as they are now receiving and that gasoline would give only about three quarters of the performance made possible by 100-octane fuel"
 These gigantic contributions to victory are but incidental to the main mission of the research man. The underlying pur- pose of research is to learn the secrets of nature and discover methods by which these secrets can be turned to the good of mankind. In learning those secrets, the research laboratories of modern industry are at the same time striving to extract the greatest possible use out of each secret. Thus one of the most effective conservation forces today can be found within industry itSelf-another fact about research that few people recognize.

every war to ennoble man anew. to re store his faith in his leadership, to believe that from lesson of degradation has come a new concept of decency and dig nifty.
 That did not happen after the last war, and there are symptoms that it might not happen after this one. We should like to see MT. MacLeish take his idea of "deno- cratic hunanism" into the State Depart ment and see if perhaps it might catch on internationally. For our future de- pends upon diplomacy, remote region in which the common people have diffi- culty in making themselves heard - even in democracy. It is in that region that the change must occur. It is no good our deluding ourselves into thinking that the world is going to be made better by a lot of new inventions. Our salvation lies not in plastics but in ethics, and ethics in the highest reaches of government.

Mir. MacLeish's Prescription

Archibald MacLeish, generally conced- ed to be good poet and good Librarian of Congress, has not had very distln- guiShed career in government. AS head of the pre-OWI Office of Facts and Fig JreS he was more inclined to persuade than to inform-a natural enough mis- take for poet to make, but scarcely recommendation for purely factual job. Now Mr. MacLeiSh has been nominated for Assistant Secretary of State in charge of cultural relations 1t sounds like good job for him. But the Senate has held up confirmation of his nomination, with those of other assistant secretary candidates, pending some deep and earn eSt discussion. It may be that MT. Mac LeiSh's poetic profession, together with his OFF record, will not prejudice the Senate in his favor. But before they Judge him too harShly we would com mend to the practical statesmen recent prose article by the poet-librarian. And though it's probably no inducement, we will agree to read the whole article if the senators will do the same. The piece is titled tHumanism and the Belief in Man" And quoted samples of it in the news papers would indicate that MT. MacLeiSh has said something quite appropriate to the times and his prospective new job.
 Humanism is loose and inclusive term, but Mr. MacLeiShS definition of his own particular brand seems to be sum- med up thus: "It is necessary to believe in man, not only as the Christians be- lieve in man, out of pity, or as the demo cratS believe in man, out of loyalty, but also as the Greeks believed in man, out of pride.' Certainly that prescription should suit the worlds need in the imme- diate postwar years. War makes it hard to believe in man out of pride in spite of the multitude of heroic acts that it calls forth. It brutalizes him, strips away his civilization, and squanders his life with cruel pr0digality t Is necessary after

Connecticut's Beloved Shepherd

In the State of Connecticut none was held in higher esteem by the hierarchy, the clergy, members of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Hartford and the citl- zens of all ranks and faiths than the late beloved Bishop McAuliffe. The death of the Most Rev. Maurice F. McAuliffe, DID,, takes from our midst prelate of inestimable qualities; a just administra- tor of the affairs under his jurisdiction; and man of many talents. These tal- entS were devoted to his own particular Diocesan work, and to the welfare of all in religious and secular matters.
 Bishop McAuliffe's comparatively short time as head of the Connecticut diocese presents record that describes his many outstanding achievements. Members of his flock will always remember his letters on matters of faith and morals; on par ticular ecclesiastical events; and on mat ters of civic nature to which he gave his full support. His recommendations to the faithful were important, and his let ters were regarded as of vital significance, also as literary gems He spoke at all times with restraint and with wisdom None who read his letters in the Diocesan weekly, "The Transcript could fail but be impressed by them.
 The Bishop was a man Of great holl- ness. He possessed rare refinement put he was always approachable and friendly His many affiliations and his partlclpa- tion in such number of affairs so placed him that his influence seemed far-reach- ing. He had the respect of Catholic, non- Catholic and Jew
 With the progress Of events ana changing conditions during late years the Bishop was aware of such things. Close to his heart was that described Tn the words - land the greatest of these is charity" Through his efforts the great work of Social Service flourlShed in his diocese The affiliated Diocesan Bureaus of the state had his constant supervisor, and it may be said that through his wise administration and sponsorship the Roman Catholic organ ization of Social Service in the state has been cited as one of the leading bureaus in the country.
 As he was ever mindful of the poor Bishop McAuliffe also had great regard for the laboring man. The Diocesan Labor Institute has also flourlShed Wltn his sanction.
 Tn frail health for several years the Bishop had carried on his duties even when it seemed his years on this earth were not to be much longer. A few weeks ago he addressed the Catholic Women o1 the state in their annual meeting Tn Hartford Two weeks ago, however, the end of his activities was seen to be lmml- nent. He will long be remembered for those things we have mentioned, and many more that will never be known

board of the General Staff, through whcih all upgradeS pass, is disproportionately rough on reservists and war service ap- pointees.
 The latest batch of promotions to brigadier general and higher includes 86 regular Army officers, 5 reserve officers and 6 members of the Army of the United States"-the war service group.
 Meanwhile, Senators have been working behind the scenes to get promotions for dozen of reserv- ists and war service officers. Not all of these aspirants are es- pecially deserving, but many of them are. The Senators are pre- pairing to insist that the Army's board pay more attention to fit- ness rather than Army drag in the future.
 RESEARCH FOR PEACE The Civil Service Commission has recognized the importance of planning for peace.
 Hitherto It mas never permit ter research workers for the Li- brary of Congress to be paid more than $3,800 per year, while the top salary for researchers in the executive agencies is $6,500. Little pressure has been puto the Com- mission to raise this cealing be- cause, usually. when Congress sional committe eneeds an ace researcher. he is borrowed from one of the executive agencies.
 But recently the Civil Service Commission approved the hiring of one researcher on foreign af- fairs, at $6,500 per year, by the legislative reference branch of the Library of Congress. Approval for several more nigh priced re- search jobs will be sought from Congress, since the Commission has new established the prece- dent
