BRITISH PREMIER' RMS OFFICE TO CLEASRECORD Conservatives Assured of LargetMajority in New Parliaiuent, By Vnitfit Pres* LONDON, Oct. 31.—The Labor government today decided to retain office until it has investigated the authenticity of the “Zinoviev letter,” one of the causes of its over ■whelming defeat at the polls. The cabinet appointed a committee to investigate the source of the document, which is alleged to have urged British communists to adopt sabotage methods, so that Ramsay MacDonald and his colleagues can leave a clear record in the 'blatter. The committee will report Tuesday and the government probably will resign Nov. 7. Puffing his customary cherry-wood pipe.

Death is beautiful. Harry Wright of Chicago says so. He and death got acquaint’**! the other day when Wright pitched from the fifth floor of a skyscraper. In a fall of 100 feet all he suffered was a bad case of fallen arches. ”The fall was like going to a show,” said Wright. “I saw my whole life from the time I was a kid.” The Origin of Halloween T 1 EMORIES of our ancestors /1 who belived in goblins, ban--1 shees, ghouls and other evil spirits are called up by the modern celebration of Halloween. In the early days of the Christian church, the first of November was set aside as All Saints’ day, because it was impossible to ob serve a seperate day for each,saint. The night before All Saints’ day was known as "Holy evening”— then as Hallojyeen. It was a fearful night, during which the evil spirits were believed to burst from thier bonds and haunt the world, having a last fling prior to the sacred day. There was, however, a brighter side to Halloween. It marked the end of haryest and the beginning of new terms of farm tenancy and landlordship. Renewing his contracts with'his tenants or making arrangerm nts with new ones, it was the Halloween custdhi of landlords to bring forth the flowing bowl, baskets of red apples and sacks of nuts for a great celebration. —— Least motor vehicles in proportion to population Is in the east south central States, where there are ten cars to every 136 persons.
