The paper was established last year and will continue to be published monthly by a staff of live and hard working editors. The paper shows that the editors and assistants have a "nose for news," one of the real requirements for its readers. The circulation department announces that it hopes to get tht? subscription list up to the 100 mark by the next issue and that should not be a hard job, in view of its many merits. Thomas A. Edison, wizard of the age and mankind's great benefactor through his wonderful inventions, says in an interview in the Saturday Evening Bost, that he has | made little monev from his patents, i On the other hand he has spent much to protect his rights. In the case of the incandescent light, it was necessary for him and his associates to spend more than one million dollars to fight the pirates who succeeded in holding up manufacturer of the bulbs, and of the seventeen years granted for the patent, Mr. Edison enjoyed a revenue from them for only three I years. He states that he has made most of his money from manufac- 1 luring, royalties being paid to him for only a few of his inventions, i He advises stricter laws regarding 1 patents and separate courts to try cases of this nature. Without wasting words and philosophizing on the times, economioailyr- speaking, Boston’s mayor tells the people what to do about it. His remedy is simple, practical and possible. He urges every family that can afford it to spend , S2O forthwith on household needs in the way of manufactured goods. I He has figured out what that nominal expenditure would mean in increased business, lessend unemployment and augmented prosperity. This municipal executive understands the psychology no less than the economics of the situation which has stagnated the business world. "Shed the psychology of fear," he tells the nation if it would .-tart a buying movement as in impetus to business. This is so vast a country that a little “surplus" buying by all in one fell swoop upon the market places would so deplete the stocks of retailers as to have a marked, the I beneficial, reaction upon the jobbers and manufacturers. There would be less unemployment and depression today it business and consumers would contrast conditions of today with those of prewar and early post-war days rather than with the halcyon days of 1928 and early 1929.

CURATOR SAYS GOLDFISH ARE CHINA PRODUCT. Dr. Berthold Laufer Says Orientals Mastered Breeding Principles Chicago, Sept. 30. (U.R) Goldfish were unknown in Europe before 1691. In that year they were imported from St. Helena. They had come to the island of St. Helena from Batavia. Chinese settlers who emigrated to Java had originally brought them from China. Dr. Berthold Laufer, curator of anthropology at Field Museum of Natural History, traced the history and development of the goldfish as a household pet in an article in I the September issue of museum periodical. According to Dr. Laufer. Charles . Darwin knew that goldfish had their origin in China and believed they had been kept in confinement there from an ancient period. The goldfish still occur in Chinese riv-, ers in a wild state. Not only has it been brought by! the Chinese into a complete state ] of domestication, but also the i numerous varieties and the many fantastic and grotesque monstrosities with protruding eyes or with ! three and four lobed tails are the ' products of Chinese skill and industry. These varieties w-ere pro-1 duced by a studied and conscious | method of interbreeding. As early as the 11th century the I Chinese understood perfectly the principle of 'breeding to a point’ , and the experiments to which they ' have subjected the fish are prac-1 tically identical with those carried , on by our modern biologists.' The I plastic material of which the gold- : fish is shaped can, within certain ; limits, be molded into almost anything in the hands of a skilful breeder. The great variability in the color of the skin, as well as in the form of the head, fins and tail, is the result of many centuries of domestication. In China the goldfish is kept in garden ponds or in large pottery j or porcelain basins, but never in ! glass globes as in America. —: o | Household Scrapbook * By I ROBERTA LEE * « Ink Spots Ink spots on the fingers can be removed entirely by rubbing the inside of a banana peeling over the lingers.

U. S. LAUNCHES MOVE TO AID PRISON HEALTH Federal Penal Institutions Will Come Under Close Scrutiny By Cecil Owen. UP. Staff Correspondent Washington. Sept. 30. — (U.R) What is believed to bn the most extensive effort ever made to apply the latest approved finding of moderf n medical science to treatment of both human physical and mental ills is being undertaken this year by the I'nlted States Public Health Service in the federal penal institutions. Under authority of an act of congress signed recently by President Hoover, the health service is gradually taking over supervision of the health and mental problems of the 12.000 men and women prisoners in federal institutions. Prisoners at Leavenworth and Atlanta penitentiaries and at the Anderson. W. Va.. i women's prison have already been I placed in charge of health service physicians. Emphasis is placed by the health service' program on the mental well being of prisoners as well as their pur; ly physical disorders. It is hoped through careful treatment under modern psychiatric methods to restore many prisoners to useful citizenship. i Progress is being made meanwhile on construction of two narcotic farms where drug addicts, comprising one third the federal prison population, can be segregated from other prisoners. Selection of a site near Lexington. Ky.. has been announced for one of the | farms and a second is to be built in the west. Federal prisoners hereafter will be given a painstaking examination whin they are committed to discover their physical condition and also what kinks in their mentality or chtfracter are responsible for their having chosen a career of I crime. In the case of first offenders or those who are regarded as prom--1 ising subjects for treatment, exi pert psychiatric care will be pro|vided to aid them in rehabyiating I themselves. The program will not end when the prison door clangs behind the prisoner. In most sections of the country, a combined probation and , parole officer will be available to aid these released to overcome the handicap of their prison record. New probation 'officers are nowbeing appointed throughout the country under an expanded appropriation of $175,000 voted by conI gress at the last session. The Jus- | tice department expects to have 51 such officers on duty by Nov. 1. At present there are only ’5 probation officers and no parole officers in the federal prison system. Treatment of prisoners in this way and expansion of the parole system is part of the gen c ral fedCHICHESTERS PILLS V THE »IAMONI> HR A ND.

BYRO TO KEEP RADIO DATE AT SAFETY MEET Appoifltment to Speak In Pittsburgh Negotiated 10,000 Miles Away Pittsburgh, Sept. 30 (U.R)—RearAdmiral Richard E. Byrd, first i man to reach the South Pole by i airplane, will keep an engagement ' made by radio across 10,000 miles of space when he appears at the National Safety Council here, October 1. The invitation to appear at the conference, which will be Byrd’s first platform appearance since his! return from the Antarctic, was' made by a code message several months ago while the explorer still was in the Polar regions. Byrd answered at onc§ that he 1 would be glad to come if his itinerary made it possible. When Byrd reached the Panama Canal he was met by a member of the manufacturers’ committee of the safety congress and a contract for the speaking engagement signed. Byrd’s appearance here will precede his proposed lecture tour. It will be marked by first showing of his own pictures of the history making expedition which differ from those already released. The famous flier, who conquered both Poles by air, will tell of many I problems relating to safety which he encountered on his expedition. From the standpoint of safety the i party made a wonderful record. Not a man was lost in the two
