Berry, an assistant admini- strator of the public works administration " ‘Was dismissed because he circulated a letter _intimating that the government would not at insist upon payment of public works loans. Still, a good many municipalities and other Political units are borrowing on the strength of Mr. Berry’s theory. j Mrs. Emily Murphy, 67, who died in Edmonton, Canada, a few days ago was the first woman in the British empire to hold a judicial office. She was magistrate of the Edmonton juvenile court from 1916 to 1931, .and was made a Lady of Grace of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem by King George for her patriotic service during the World War. Bishop Whittinghame of Ipswish, Eng- Jand, says it is all right for women to ap- pear in church without hats. He declares that St. Paul’s supposed interdiction against women appearing uncovered referred to veils and not to hats. Hats had not been invented in St. Paul’s time. In fact,hats as we know them were not made untjl about the yeai"1402) in Paris, and ‘nitro: duced into England until’ later; tae part It may be surprising fo many to know that there are now 18'Girl Scout troops for the blind in the United States. Mrs. Helen Ward Stevens, a director of the national or- ganization, says that regular girl scouting ean be given blind girls and that few changes in the ordinary requirements are necessary; also that “the girls themselves want no changes, no concessions,” Although the baseball season is some time past, belated mention may be given the Sibilsky team of Houghton, Mich., com- posed of nine brothers, with the fathcr as coach, which has a fine diamond record. A report of one of their innings might have | Some are glad. Some are sad. And so goes the bitter pill of politics. To the loyal and the faithful go the spoils of victory. To those who guess wrong, they wind up guessing where they shall find a job. U.S. Attorney General Homer S. Cum- mings removed Marshal Harrison. Of course Mr. Cummings knows noth- ing about Marshal Harrison and very litil< about Florida and probably less about North Florida. He based his de: ‘zion up- on charges filed by J. B. Hodg._, who is dispenser of patronage for the great and good state of Florida because of his posi- tion as chairman of the Floridu State Demo- cratic Executive Committee. We have not seen the charges. Per- haps the ex-U. S. marshal of No :th Florida is.a bold, bad wolf. Perhaps he should | have been removed from office. | We heard that Dan Hardie. the ousted sheriff of colorful Dade, was of. unstable mind, and guilty of malfeasance and mis- feasance in office. It sounded pretty good ay uatil the ex-sheriff began parading a cir- euit court judge, a flock of business or J and other- before the governor and’refuted | all of these accusations. He even went as far as to produce an alienist from Jackson- ville, who testified that Hardie was men- tally okeh. Somebody wanted Hardie out. body wanted Harrison out. Whoever that somebody is, they had influence or prestige or “pull” with the powers that be. Here we have the spectacle of a gov- ernor of the state going to the trouble to |} remove a sheriff in the face of a shower of : complimentary recommendations for him; and of the chairman of the state demo- cratic committee doing the same thing for a federal marshal. And yet, we critic.» soviet Russia and fascist Italy and its illogical and un- fair way of treating with those whom it would destroy. Wyhat difference republicanism And socialism or fascism? | Some- | | DEPRESSION DRINKING In the absence of any definite informa- tion on the subject, much speculation has been indulged in respecting the effects of prohibition and the depression upon the consumption of alcohol and other beverages by the people of the United States. In most cases, any estimates made have been purely guesses, An interesting sidelight on one phase of the subject is presented, however, by a survey recently made by the John R. Thompson Company relative to the con- sumption of coffee in the company’s res- taurants in Chicago and 36 other cities. The result of the survey, just released by John R. Thompson, Jr., president of the corporation, shows that in the month of Oc- tober its customers consumed 4,015,320 cups of coffee, or 100,383 pounds... This compares with 113,531 pounds in 1930, be- fore the depression had seriously affected the restaurant business. q “If we base our conclusions on: past shistory,”” said Mr. Thompson, “the change from prohibition may tend to increase rath- er than decrease the consumption of cof- fee, at least in restaurants.” NEW HEART STIMULANT Another discovery which may prove a great boon to humanity is reported from Calcutts Ly the noted Indian scientist, Sir Jagadish Bose, who claims to have develop- ed a powerful heart stimulant which has restored life after all heart action has ceased. The new drug is derived from a plant read thus? “With Sibilsky on first and Sibil-| found in the Himalaya mountains, and its | sky on second, Sibilsky singled, filling the | giseoverer predicts that it will in time su- bases. Then Sibilsky hit a home rua, scor- ing four Sibilskys.

Information concerning the new stimu- | lant is as yet meager, but Sir Jagadish’s scientific reputation is said to be such as to inspire confidence that a most valuable therapeutic agent has been developed. } ' Commenting on t} > ward government controi «f everything and ! everybody, Will Rogers says: “I havn't | seen a copy of the Constitution in years; I guess they are out of print,” | i Bigeaate furfous ik Ts lement for iressing the Cylindrical a Genus of the candytuft a ‘Units, i, ent 30.

The chamber of comme: received a letter from Mulford and Habson, of Portland, Ore., who say they have patented a pro- cess for converting shark hides into leather. A plant of that kind and modern tannery are con- templated in the plans. The chamber has replied to the letter stating there is a shark fishing camp at Big Pine Key and the record of its catches is 5,000 sharks in four months, It was also shown that the Florida Straits provide an almost inexhaustible supply of sharks all the year. The Key West Country Club will meet tonight in the rooms of the chamber of commerce to ef- jfeet its permanent organization, with a paid up membership of 100. “One reason why I want to win the fight tonight,” said Fighting McGee who will meet Reyes at the Armory, “js that best serappers in South Florida jand I am only out to meet the! goed ones.

Davis’ return; from Geneva to this country just | a month prior to the resumption of the disarmament conference on December 4. America’s chief delegate to the parley says the date of his return to Geneva depends on develop- ments there, It was regarded as significant, however, by some observers in the capital that Hugh Wilson, ambas- sador to Switzerland, was left in} charge in Geneva. Wilson, a career diplomat, has had experi- ence in this sort of thing for years. Since 1927 he has followed and participated actively in the work of the preparatory disar- mament comission, The fact is not overlooked, ei-} ther, that it was Hugh Wilson who remained on the spot at Geneva when disarmament took a long re- cess in 1932. He may be prepared to “dig in” for another long siege of waiting. No Time To Lose dt is evident if Davis hopes to get back to Geneva by the time the conference is resumed that he must make every minute count. The re- quirements imposed by distance will not permit much delay. Theré are those, however, who! see nothing unusual in his deci-| sion to come back and talk over the situation with President Roose- velt. The disarmament conference is in such a snarl that he might con- sider it the wisest thing to consult the president as to future. moves, even if it is necessary to make a flying trip to Washington and! back in a matter of days. | Undoubtedly his position would be strengthened in, the eyes of the other delegates if he were to go into the conference on December 4 jarmed with oral instructions from the White House. Earmarks Of Diplomacy Some profess to see in Da decision to return to Washington, a skillful bit of diplomacy. ‘ Before leaving Geneva he made it plain that whether he came | back in a hurry or not would de- i pend on developments there.
