UNREST GRIPS INDIA; MENACE FACESBRITAIN 320,000,000 People Roused to New Ambition for Self Rule. ASK DEFINITE ACTION Nationalists Will Refuse to Be Content With Vague Promises. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON. Nov. B.—Premier Ramsay MacDonald of Great Britian Is facing a very serious situation in India, according to indications received here by the India Press I Service. j The 320,000.000 people of that I country, the statement sets forth, I have been laboring under a definite ! assumption that they will receive j the grant of dominion self-govern- : ment from the hand of Premier I MacDonald and his labor adminisI tration. | And yet in London, parliament I seems inclined to be critical of the ! act of Lord Irwin, viceroy of India, ! merely for having declared publicly | that “the natural issue of India’s constitutional progress is the attainment of the dominion status,” and debated the incident in the house of commons. Cables received by Sailendra Nath Ghose, general manager of the ! India Press Service in the United I States, indicate that Indian NationI alists will not accept any such vague promise of self-government as satisfactory, and that unless the MacDonald government is prepared to go far beyond the Irwin statement, and offer something quite definite, there is likely to be trouble. Ever since 1917, the Nationalists assert, they have been hearing the same phrase as Lord Irwin used, first from the Liberals, then from the Conservatives, and lastly from the Laborites. Now, Ghose declares, Nationalist leaders in his country are demanding something specific and immediate. and are expecting Premier MacDonald to give it to them.

PRIEST'S SHRINE MECMFOR ILL Reported Healing Miracies Draws Thousands. MALDEN. Mass., Nov. B.—A strange procession is traveling the road to Holy Cross cemetery. Old women and little children; richly dressed folk in limousines; shabbily clothed persons who trudge along on foot; patriarchs leaning on the arms of flappers. The line moves through the big gate, and over to the grave of an obsecure young priest, the Rev. Patrick J, Powers, who died sixty years ago. The simple headstone marking his last resting place has become a healing shrine, a symbol of hope for the afflicted. Thousands have come to kneel there and pray. In biting winds sunshine or rain, the pilgrimage goes on. In fact, the crowd is larger on rainy days, for then they know there will be more w r ater in the stone chalice on the headstone of the tomb. It is with this water that they anoint themselves, hoping thus to share in the miracles of healing which are being reported daily. Very little is known of the priest whose grave has become such a sanctified place that it may rival the miracle shrines of Lourdes and Saint Anne de Beuapre. The Rev. Mr. Powers of Springfield, Massdied at the age of 25, just one year after his ordination to the priesthood.

“Our Mary” Revives Bike Craze

PARIS, Nov. B—Bicycling has come back into favor with a bang among fashionable women and the Bois de Boulogne these days recalls the Victorian scene when the world in general and women in particular went cycling crazy. The bicycle, according to those who ought to know; turned the first wheel as it were on the road toward* feminine emancipation and therefore it is appropriate that the women should turn again and resurrect the machine which every one thought had passed for ever from popularity.

A certain American film star— Mary Pickford—is responsible for the bicycle’s revival. Mary has been spending a few months’ vacation in Paris recently and one day she was caught by a photographer in the early hours of the morning bicycling around the Bois de Boulogne. tt tt tt THE few passers-by started in curiosity but did not recognize the film idol. That was for the knowing photographer. The picture of the smiling star awheel in the fashionable Bois appeared in all the Paris newspapers and gave an odd thrill to feminine France, evoking memories of the times when the road to Auteuil and Longchamp was a happy highway where bicycles and barouches—with the inevitable plumpudding dog plodding alongsidemingled in leisured speed. Then the smell of petrol, the roar of auto motors were unknown and undreamed of. tt a Apparently the craze will not be a passing fancy. The big cycle manufacturers In France are working at full pressure turn-

ing out women’s bicycles and it is predicted that the time may come when France will rival the northern, particularly the Scandinavian countries, for the number of bicycles per head of population. Which explains why the manufacturers here feel intensely grateful to the cinema star who decided to go awheel in the early mornings among the leafy glades of the quiet Bois. lOWA BUILDING GAINS Number, Valuation of New Permits, Show 97 Per Cent Boost.

‘GOBBLERS’ TO BE 45 CENTS A POUNDIN CITY Foodstuffs for Thanksgiving Cheaper This Year Than Last. ‘TRIMMINGS’ PRICED LOW Chickens, Ducks and Geese Also Are in Demand at Low Cost, Second “helpings” to everything I on the Thanksgiving dinner menu, j from turkey to “punkin” pie, will be |in order this year, because Mrs. j Housewife will find foodstuffs for the annual feast cheaper this year than last. Turkeys probably will sell for 45 cents a pound retail, which is 5 cents less than last year, according to Indianapolis dealers, who are anj ticipating the arrival of the first ! shipment of “gobblers” next week. ; This year, though, turkeys will | not be as prominent as in years ! gone by because chickens, ducks and j geese are more in demand at 10 to 15 cents a pound less than the turkeys. From commission merchants | comes further encouragement to the I hard-pressed householder. “Trimmings” for the Thanksgiv- | ing dinner should be cheaper, generally, than a year ago, they say. Cranberreis are beginning to come ; in from the Cape Cod (Mass.) vl- ! cinity and are wholesaling at $3.75 | to $4 a box of twenty-five pounds. With the price to the dealer ap- | proximately 16 cents a pound, they j should find their way to the | Thanksgiving table at near 20 cents. Unless cold weather intervenes to | the injury of celery still in the beds ! near the city, celery, too, will be ! cheaper than a year ago. Cold weather, however, will force the price up. Sweet potatoes are in abundance at relative low prices, dealers say. Coming from Virginia, Indiana and Tennessee, they are going to retailers at around $3.25 a barrel. The Roman catacombs are 580 square miles in area, and it is estimated that they contain about 15,000,000 dead.
