Four States—Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvauia—held Congressional elec- tions, and New Jersey and Ker'iucky, gubernatorial Out of five Congressnien elected—two from Ohio Tuesday's election. and one each i'om e other three States named— the Democrats won ihree.

Michigan District, is & Tuesday for the first time it elected a Democrat. In New Jersey nd Keatucky the Democratic candidates, Harry Moore and Judge Ruby Laffoon, were successful. They will succeed Republican Gov- ernors. In New York, despite the Legislative inves- tigation in New York City and Tammany was successful in defending itself at the polls, and the Democratic Party suffered no losses in the State. Thus, the trend of sentiment in the nation east of the Mississippi River is definitely Democratic. Democratic although The third, the Eighth It was so there and west to the Rockies in 1930. | The situation, which then gave encouagement to Demoratic Party leaders and caused them to feel confident that the party would be victorious in the national campaign next year, has not changed. ACCIDENT RECORD A MENACE. According to estimates made by the Travelers Insurance Company, the first nine months of the current year saw more than 24,000 persons killed in automobile accidents in the United States, making the toll the largest ever recorded in a similar period. This fearful loss of life brings the daily average of fatalities up to necarly 90 for the country. New York presents a death gain of 4.36 per cent over the similar period in 1930; California shows an increase of 13.67 per cent. Pennsylvania and Ohio are next on the list It seems unthinkable that so many people in this day and age should die from a single cause and so little of substantial worth be accomplished in the way of preventing such purposeless slaughter. Must the genius of the age fail in the face of a visitation that is killing more human beings than are killed annually in time of battle stress? It is discouraging to realize that this sad toll is con- stantly increasing. The accident record is becom- ing a national men:ice. For lesser emergencies, Legislatures and Congress have exerted themselves in prompt «nd effective preventive action. PRESIDENT POINTS TO IMPROV EMENT. President Hoover last week took occasion to point to increased public confidence and the effects it is having upon the general situation. Unquestion- ably strength in commodity prices is the outstand- ing development in the world of trade and finance. In the short space of a fortnight grains and cotton have recovered almost 20 per cent from the lows, the result being to exercise something akin to a transformation of feelinz in the South and in cer- tain sections of the West. Much more cheerful are bankers from the agricuiiural districts. How far the 'uovement may run and just how potent its immediate benefits may be upon the American business situation it is, of course, early to determine The rcbound past two years that has grown rather Much the same may be saild of the emote. Republican stronghold, and | its revelations, | too in prices does suggest that deflntion has been so complete in the wnger of an eariy rapid slump securities |u. s. commercial. |as young or old turkeys. | A young hen turkey that grades U. must satisfy rather strict quality requirements. J[)CL‘IHCAUOHS for such a bird are: “Young, meated female bird, with well-fleshed breast, | with entire carcass well covered with fat. and of pin feathers, and only few scattered pin feathers over remainder of carcass. Crop must be empty. Only very slight flesh or skin bruises, abrasion or | discolorations permitted, with breast practically free |of such defects. Slightly dented breast bones (not to exceed one-half inch) permitted, but no crooked breasts that would interfere with the slicing of the meat or other deformities allowed. Broken wings above the wing tips or broken legs not permitted. A disjointed leg or wing permitted if only slightly bxmsed Birds with crops properly removed and |sewn up may be included in this grade. Must be dry picked or semi-scalded and dry packed.” Where a dozen birds are pack:d in a box, the weights of the lightest and heaviest birds should not vary by more than 3 pounds. A item relates a curious story about a |South Sea island populated by the descendants of |one man. There is another famous story about a | world population descended from a lone man named Adam. { news So far the Democrats are running true to form. | | At least they are winning the next national election |a year too early. A Predicted Explosion. (New York Times.) | When Congress meets in December it will have been nine months since one was in session. This was jof no particular consequence to members of the |Seventy-first Congress who failed of re-election. But Ito the veterans and novices who will make up the |Seventy-second the deprivation has been cruel. Speech upon speech has welled into their throats, |and nowhere to deliver them. There were the local |newspapers, of course. But the floor of Congress is a national forum. This is where real publicity begins. | The valves of speech will be opened December 7, |Republic a veritable explosion is predicted. It will |be practically continuous. Before ratifying either {the President's moratorium plan or his bank pool |“there will be an attack on Mr. Hoover which will exced in severity any previously made in Congress.” The individual or coterie who or which supplies l’l‘he New Republic with its Washington letter has |“talked with quite a number of our leading Con- gressional lights in both the Progressive and Demo- cratic groups.” They are loaded for California bear. And the long period of silence forced upon them, the White House conferences at which they had to pledge their support to the President's |economic measures because they had none of their own to propose, have charged their oratorial bat- teries as never before. As this correspondence suggests, Mr. Hoover is not likely to be any better defended that he was in the last Congress. In the Senate there is almost nobody to say an effective word for him, because |those who mean it have no influence, and the ones | with influence don’t mean it. In the House the| closeness of the party division is expected to repress Administration oratory. The Democrats have no program but attack upon the President. If com- pelled to endorse his acts, they will still assert that action was too late. A purely political session is bad enough when there is a responsible party ma- jority. When there is not, and in a Presidential year, the prospects are gloomy for cooperation, con- structiveness or restraint. P If He Only Knew! (New York World-Telegram.) The Mahatma Gandhi took a sip of pasteurized goat's milk in London the other day and, laying aside a communication from the Massachusetts anti- Saloon League, turned to his secretary and dic- tated: 1wl It was a brave step, worthy of America, to have undertaken the most difficult task for her, of total Prohibition. It would be a shame and a rude shock to reformers throughout the world i1, for any causs, Am- erica abandoned the policy and returned to the drink evil. We should, with due reverence for the fine idealism of this great leader, like to discuss this matter of "total Prohibition” with Mr. Gandhi in that most effective setting of all for such a dis- cussion, a New York speakeasy, or in, for that matter, any one of the tens of thousands of speak- easles through this moist nation. But it would be doubtless time wasted. If Am- erican reformers who live with Prohibition are unable to see that “America has not returned to |the drink evil” because she has never been away from it, it is not likely that the greatest reformer in the universe today could be convinced that all the peoples of the earth, Broadway included, will not some day join him at his goat’s milk and his spinning wheel. Need of Fur Exchange. (Seward Gateway.) Approximately a million dollars worth of furs pass through Seward annually on their way to fur exchanges in the United States and to private con- cerns. A charge of five per cent is fixed by the exchange for handling the fur, or a total of $200,- 000. There is no reason why this sum should not re- main in Seward. It can be secured by the estab- lishment of a fur exchange, which in turn will assist the trapper by having correct market reports avail- The birds are also classified S.

Men—and | they really are essential to a suc- cessful debut—Ilike a sincere, un-| assuming girl who follows the fa-| miliar slang injunction of “Be yourself.” There's Isabelle Perry, tall, stun- ning, and who looks divine in eve- ning dress. But she is so natural | and unaffected, full of fun and| with laughter always twinkling in| her blue eyes. | & Frances Matthews, too, is noted | | for her witty sayings which are funny without hurting anybody We're all wild to know what each other will wear at the opening black and white ball this month, and of course for the great event— the coming out ball. I hope Lucille Elliott chooses green. She's petite and red-headed and looks lovely in that color. Elizabeth Henning has a glint of gold in her hair. Blue is becom- ing, but each girl is planning some- thing unusual so there will be some surprises. Mother bought my dress in New York for the black and white ball. I just adore it. There’s a lot of talk among the girls and the mothers as to the best kind of costume for a deb. Some are in favor of frilly fussy things, others are for severe classic lines letting the face and “figure” do the talking, as it were.
