Large del- egations of bank employes and A. 1. B. members from many surround-. ing towns were preatnt. Nearly all officials of local bariks were in at- tendance. Rev. Willlam H. / 'Alderson opened the program ~ wit} “ai invocation. Following the bapquef, Willlam E. Pease, president of the local chap- ter, complimented fhe chapter for its good work during the past year and expressed. satiafaction with the progress being nhde by the bank- ing classes. Frank M. Tetfon of York, national president ' of ‘the A. 1. B. and an executive of the Chase Na- tional bank, was the principal speaker. Mr. Totton praised the lo- cal chapter apd its officers. He told the gathering that the presence of monst of the bank officials showed that they were behind the A. 1. B. and believed in its ideas. Tt proved that they were interested in their employes and were ready to coop- erate with them. Mr. Totton extend- ed the greetings of the New York chapter to the local group. Mr. Totton urged his listeners to &et acquainted with themselves and take time to think. The speaker saild that “we should grasp ideas that come to our minds and listen to our inner promptings. Too many people are dreaming and star gazing and do not take time to agpemble their ideas and develop them.” Using Lindbergh as an example, Mr. Totton saif that without a doubt many others had tbe same ideas as he had but lindbergh teok hold. of them and’ asembled his thoughts. He followed out his inner prompt- ings and executed them. The accom- plishments of Napoleon, the gen- erals in the werld war, etc, were the result of careful planning and thought; tley grasped their ideas and exccutdd them, thus accom- plishing wiat they set out to do, he said. Mr. Toton was given a standing vote of tlanks by the gathering. Following his address, dancing was enjoyed. The oficers of the chapter are: Presiden, William E. Pcase; \icc‘ presiden,” Melvin E.

Kincalde of Quiicy admitted as much yesterday wh@ he asked Scnator Donald W. Nifolson of Wareham to éxplain wht kind of fish was meant in a bil, repulating “the taking, posses- and sale of calico-bass and cappie.” nator Nicholson replied that al- nough he had lived on Cape Cod r 40 years he never had heard, of @lico-bass nor'crappie and that the dligent perusal of dictionaries had lot enlightened him. The hill, therefore, was killed on | voice vote. But, later, Senator Al- bert M. Crockett of Milford, for fea- sons which he did not explain, nsked that the senate consider the bill as not having been acted upon. which | was grated. His next motion for postponement of consideration untit | next session also carricd. The senate will ‘weigh the pon- derous question of calico-bass and crappie at the next session.

Sir William Joynson-Hicks, hom secretary in the copservative gov- ernment, said: “Those Midlothians have let us down again. This ix| the mecond instance within a week | of liberals sacrificing their prinei- ples by running a perfectly hopeless | andidate and therchy letting the so- cialist get in.” Ramsay MacDonald. labor leader ' and former premier, said: “In view | of the coming general election we al) | regarded South Battersea as a test case. I think the result shows just | about the exact position held in the conntry by the liberals.” In the election W. Bennett, labor. | ite, received 11.789 votes; H. R. Sel- ley, conservative, V. ¢ Al t, liberal 2,858, The contest was for the seat in the house of commons vacated by a conservative, Viscount Curzon, who recently was elevated | to the house of lords on his suc- cension to the title of Earl Howe.

MAN AND HIS PROPERTY Science Berfects Device Which Acts as Policeman, Fireman and Even Skilled Factory Worker. New York, Feb. 8 (UP)—S8cience has perfected a system of never- tring “electric eyes” to stand guard over man and his possessions. Known to technicians as a photo-electric cell,” the device emerged at the annual dinner of the American Inatitute last night as fireman, policeman, and factory hand of infinite ingenuity. It was demonstrated by John V Breisky of the Westinghouse Elec- tric and Manufacturing Compan: The “electric eyes” played fire- man first. A lighted match was tossed into a tank of gasoline and kerosene. As soon as the eyes, whose electric current varies with the amount of light they receive, perceived the shadow of the smoke, they released carbon dioxide and smothered the flames. Then the eyes played factory hand. Swmall packags of. supposedly uniform size and shape were nassed before them. If one of the bundles was defective or lacked a lahel i by the eyes. Similarly, the device counted the guests as they entered the banquet roem. Last came the vole of polceman. ‘The eyes demonstrated they cowld sound an alarm at the Smere ap- proach of a human hand, providing an almost invulnerable safeguard for bank vaults. Art Museum Auction Nets Sum of $35,310 New York, Feb. 8 (»—The Metro- politan museum's first auction sale, which disposed of 87 paintings and 75 water colors brought a total of $35.310. The sale, which ended last night, was conducted not for profit but to clear away a collection of out-moded art works from the mu- seum's crowded storerooms. John Ringling paid $3.500 for a 32x15 foot canvas, “Diana’s Hunting Party,” by Hans Makart, Austrian artist. That was the highest price in the sale. Ringling bought the large canvas for his new art mu- seum at Sarasota, Fla. Another large painting went to W. H. Coverdale who bought ‘Columbus at the Court of Ferdinand and Isa- bella” for $2,100, He said the paint- ing would be shipped to Canada and placed in a hotel. The painter was Vaclax Van Brozik, a Bohemian. Two water colors by the Ameri- can artist William T. Richards, Thoroughfare, Absecon, N. J." and 'Absccon Bay" brought $12.50 cach Sale of art objects and furniture brought a total of $18,132.

M STARVING CHINESE NEPT FROM RELIEF| Officials Appropriate Food, Money—Opium Trade Growing Peking, Feb. 8.—(UP)—Chinese officials who rob the people in dis- tant Kansy of food and money sent to save them from starvation are doscribed in a melancholy picture of |life in that remote province drawn by a foreign missionary of wmany years' residence in Kansu, in a letter sent to the Pcking and Tientsin Times: “So far the government of the Kuomintang has not been a blessing for Kansu,” the missionary writes. “On the contrary, Kansu has mot been in a more wretched condition for many vears. 1 certainly do not mean to lay the blame for all this on Marshal Keng Yu-hsiang (whe con- |trols Kansu nominally), or the { Nanking government. T believe they are altogether sincere in trying to establish order. Vo As They Please “But, as a mandarin (public offi- clal) laughingly told me: ‘Old Feng doesn’t know. for Kaifeng (Marshal Feng's capital) is far away.' Others| think the same. They do just as they | please, extort money, abuse the law | to suit themseives, and male the | Kuomintang an ohject of hatred.! They have no conscience, no love for China." This missionary finds little to en- courage him in the spread of the Kuomintang to Kansu, at least. “Up fo a few years ago Kansu, unlike most other provinces of China, was, to some extent at least, a place where peace and order prevailed. But these times have passed. There are large bands of rebbers here. The people are starving. They must, neverthe- |less, pay hcavy taxes. No wonder that they are disatisfied with the government, “Former mandarins, at least, could be approached and talked with; they did something for the people; they respected Christianity. But these modern mandarins have a spirit al- together different. They don’t have the interests of the people at heart. Their only thought is how make money, how to become rich in the shortest possible time. Quite a few among them are young men, some 20 yecars old. without a trace of Chinese etiquette and good manners. They are Bolsheviks out and out.” Opium Easily Bought Tn spite of the campaign which | has been started in Nanking against the sale and growth of the opium poppy. this missionary declares the altogether ignored in Kansu, “At every street corner, opium can be bought. Large ficlds have heen planted with opium instead ‘of with wheat for 1929, The | majority of the people smoke opium. iGirls!
