THERE is no longer any doubt as to which party will be in control of the house in the next congress. In Tuesday’s elections the Democrats

captured that somewhat dubious honor, and In consequence will elect the speaker. John N. Garner of Texas being their certain choice for the position. Able, experienced and popular, he will be a capable successor to the late Nick Longworth. the house were filled Tuesday, and the Re-

The amendment was car ried by a two to one vote. Tammany and the Republicans being in favor of it. This, according to political ob servers, put the governor .definitely at the head,of the Itemocratic party and relegated Smith •<> second pi.e e. The New Yorkers also ehs ted an a-seinhly, amt though Tammany swept New York city despite the charges of political corruption, the Republicans retain control of the legislature by ten votes. Mayor < ermak of < with several other leaders of the Illinois Democracy paid a visit to New York that was held to be of considei-

able political significance. He was look lug over the Demo cratfc possibilities for the Presidency in that region, ItOosevel'. Smith and Ritchie of Maryland, and he let the Democrats then k 4 n o w very plainly that the party in Chi cago and Illinois would Insist on n candidate who Is wringing wet and not

a pussy-footer. In reply to a question. he said: - “If Governor Roosevelt was wet enough for Alfred E. Smith and wet enough for New York to be elected governor, he is wet enough for us.” In addition to Ritchie and Smith, he said, former Senator James A. Reed of Missouri would qualify in that re spect. Mr. Cermak. however, declared pos Itively that the Illinois delegation in the convention would give its vote for the nomination of Senator James Hamilton Lewis, and asserted Lewis should be considered not only a “favorite son” but a strong figure in the party, who is entitled to the nomination. When Senator Lewis was told of all this In Chicago, be gave out a_ statement in which, though he is a decided wet. he raid the economic issue of jobs and food comes before the liquor question. "I appreciate the constantly ex- 3 pressed indorsement of me by Mayor Cermak." said Senator “bnt a* to the political platform being only wet or dry, I have to say I am sure the mayor and myself recognise that In the present hour the American public is more concerned to know where many of !*s people will get something to eat before they consider what they shall have to drink. "Also, It to more urgent at once to consider places of shelter for home-

less, families this winter than for places to enjoy a beverage. The prohibition question is one to go along with food, clothing, and homes for the needy millions, and with aiding the returning prosperity that Is now on the way to our nation. These are the concerns altogether, of the national democracy.” Which statement increases the esteem in which Senator Lewis is held by those who recognize his sound Judg- , ment in national matters. J°AI*AN ha< warned Russia a second . time about troop concentrations <>u the Manchurian frontier; China has informed the League of Nations that Japan is steadily extending its hold on Manchuria and shows.no sign,of complying with the league’s demand for evacuation before November 10; and the Japatie-e forces eoniituie their advance toward the zone of.'Rus-dan Influence. fighting battles with Chinese bandits and n<»w and then bombarding a.

Tim Moscow newspaper Izvestia charges that Japanese militarists “in vented the fable” of possible Soviet Interference in Manchuria in order to cover plans for an extension of tfieir own oceiyiitif'n northward. The mil itarists Imped, the newspaper says, to ‘ w.aken the rr'istnnce of other imperialistic powers by the prospect of ..a conflict with the Soviet Union. a confl. t much desired in imperialist circles in Europe.” >i between the t’hinese.

lunfcK itn.d there are th<»e who declare he also put his foot in It. First Mr. Adams issued a statement in which he took a fall out of the Pacifist organizations that have be»-n asserting that the I’niL-d States was spending too much on its navy — much more than Great Britain. With figures and facts he demon-

str.itvv! the falseness of thK itn«! by rebuked those who had said it harshly.AAka/! k a/ Mid the observers in Wash ington, that shows there Is a split b«tweenthe President and ’he secretary. Thou Mr. Adams had several talks a; the White House and gave forth another statement, very brief. expressing t is "nh>|ua!itied dis.approval” of the personal attack on the commander In chief of the navy by President William Howard Gardiner <»f the Navy league. He followed up this by telling the correspondents that he had no intention of resigning from the cabinet. The White Übas., announced that the committee to inquire into the accuracy of >T? Gardiners assertions would consist of Admiral Hugh Rodman. retired”: John Hays Hammond, famous engineer; Ernest Lee Jahncke. assistant secretary of the navy; l’n der-secret ary of State William R. Castle anti Eliot Wadsworth, former assistant secretary of the treasury. Messrs. Hammond, Wadsworth and Jahncke are members of the Navy league and these thr<a* as well as Mr. M'nstle are all close friends of the President. Mr. Hoover ’said the committee’s Investigations must be limited to “assertions of fact” by Mr. Gardiner. Delegates from the Chicago Board of Trade called on President Hoover and told him the busi- i ness committee of the board had devised means to check bear raids In she grain markets. Silas Strawn, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, who accompanied the group. said the President appeared satisfied with the steps being taken. “The President naked us to come down and talk over this matter with him.” Strawn said. “We have no quarrel with the President about it. Mr. Hoover did not criticize short selling. That sometimes is necessary and has to be. What he did criticize was bear raiding, and we assured him we had a machine that would turn over to combat this when necessary.” Recently wheat prices have been moving upward most gratifyingly, and the Chicagoans said everyone in the market was optimistic and glad to see the farmers benefiting.

GERMANY Is preparing for negotiations with France to obtain a reduction of reparations, and as a powerful argument will cite her debts abroad. The Reichsbank and a bankers’ committee has Completed an investigation of these foreign debts and concludes that every cent that Germany makes through exports will be needed for at least ten years to pay interest on the amortized short and long term loans granted Germany by foreign countries. Germany paints out that this year, which is far above the average, she has earned a surplus of $600,000,000 of foreign currency through sales of goods abroad. This sum was swallowed entirely by interest due on money borrowed abroad, including interest and amortization on Dawes plan losins and Young plan loans. Reduction of wage scales for railroad workers seems to be (■ ruing closer. As forerunners, several roads cut salaries; and the offi- ;

cials of the American Railway association, leading rail executives of the nation, sit their meeting ip Chic ago voluntarily reduced by 10 per cent their pa.V from the association, and then proceeded to discuss the wages of the workers on the roads, Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-

road, testifying before the special senate committee on the formation of a ■ national economic council, declared ! the railroads would be able to build ; up reserves and thereby become a > stabilizing force in supplying employ- ! ment during the depression, if the re- ■ capture clstuse of the transportation I act wore eliminated. Without reserves, he said, the riuids could not do much to mitigate the situation, but on the (oiitrury were < ompeiled to cut down their working forces. Mr, Willard gave scant indorsement to a proposal by Senator Robert M. l.a Follette, chairman of the committee, to set up n national economic council with the object of advising business on co-ordination work. He added that lie would oppose strongly such a measure if it Would give a new government department the right to inquire minutely into every phase; of a business. “If the bill becomes a law,” Mr. Willard said, “a man could put me under <>nth and ask any question or go into my office and see all my records. I don’t think that is right if we are to stay on a competitive basis.” The Railway Labor Executives' as-, sociation proposed to the companies that a conference be held to consider rlie arguments for and against wage reductions, and also to discuss means of stabilizing employment. ' CONSIDERABLY more than half the nations invited to the disarmament conference next February have accepted the bid of the League of Nations to take part in a one-year armament building holiday, but the league officials were uncertain whether the holiday was in effect because almost all the larger states had made reservations. However, it was asserted in Geneva that the primary purpose of the agreement was to create the proper “psychology” ami that this had been accomplished. In Washington ft was declared the holiday was in effect so far as the United States was concerned. Despite the political upset in Great Britain, Arthur Henderson, former foreign secretary, says he will retain the clmirmansiiip of the coming armament conference, holding that the fulfillment of his position began officially with hisAppointment by the league council, and lie will vigorously oppose any postponement of the parley. ’T'llE British’parliament was assem- * bled for certain formalities. Including the election of a sjmaker of the house—Edward Algernon Eitzroy was given the job again—and then adjourned until November 10. when the session was to be formally opened by King George. Meanwhile Prime Minister MacDonald was busy selecting his cabinet. He found time, too, to receive Mahatma Gandhi and to put .before that gentleman the utmost the government would grant India In the way of self-government. This was not made public hut is known to he far short of the demands of the Nationalists of India. On Wednesday King George received Gandhi in Buckingham palace, nnd though it was a state occasion, the Hindu leader insisted In wearing only his usual garb, n loin cloth and cloak. i , TJ AILE SELASSIE I. king of kings ; of Ethopla. conquering lion of the tril»e -of Judah, tjie elect of God and the light of the world—otherwise emperor of Abysinnia—celebrated the first anniversary of his coronation with a remarkable ceremony at Addis Ababa, his capital city. After attending religious services in the cathedral he rode through the streets in .1 magnificent roach that once belonged to former Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany to the open fields where a feast of raw meats was served to fen thousand warriors. His majesty then opened the two chambers of the legislative body created under the constitution which he proclaimed last July; and in the evening there was a display of American fireworks. C*OR several years a score of chem * ists have been working on a process of making synthetic rubber out of acetylene and salt and water, and the other day the American Chemical society in session in Akron was told the experiments were successful. It was stated that the substance is not a substitute for natural rubber but a supplement. and also that It may find uses In lines where real rubber is not suitable. Certain important differences from natural rubber are claimed. One Is more resistance to swelling action of gasoline, kerosene, and other solvents. It is also more resistant to oxygen, oxone and some other chemical compounds which attack rubber. (©. mt. Western New»D*i>er Union.)

TELLS OF ORIGIN OF ENGLISH NAMES Many Simply Indication of Residence. “John ate chyldren” is found written in an old parish register in a church in the English county of Huntingdonshire. Following it is “Richard ate Forty”; and a bit further on “Thomas ate Hell.” The first two entries might suggest cannibalism. But a British museum expert whose specialty is the origin of English names explains that John and Richard were probably quite inoffensive persons. In olden days in England, he says. “ate“ meant simply ‘at” or “of.” Spelling was apt to vary with each parish clerk and much corruption crept in. Thus “John ate chyldren’’ signified simply “John of Chiltern.” “Richard ate Forty” stood for “Richard at, or of. Ford.” To find him you asked for Richard at the ford. And “Thomas ate Hell” referred to “Thomas at the hill.” “Our forenames are generally much older than our surnames,” the ' expert remarked. “When popula- ' tions were thin and scattered—the 1 Domesday book accounts for only ’ some 258.(i00 people in all of Eng--1 land that was surveyed—it sufficed ! j to indicate John by his place of residence, or as John the son of Rich ’ ard. or very often as John the servant of his named master; often. 5 too. as John the smith, distinguished ’ by his trade, from which comes the commonest of nil names, John Smith. ’ “In medieval and Tudor England” K he went on. “life was much shorter than today; accordingly the chance of rearing a large family to maturity was slender. For this reason many a father gave his own forename to two of his offspring, hoping that thereby it might survive to be carried on by one or the other. ’ “A great number of the proudest names borne in England today have 1 their origin in nicknames perpetuar- ' Ing abnormality in some remote ancestor. And around others grew such unpleasant associations that - a ” change was sought. It was. for Instance. a certain Mr. Bugg who became the first Norfolk Howard.” ’• | In the Puritan days In England i | many of the more fanatical people ’ assumed religious texts and mottoes as Christian names, and these names were attached to their surnames. ?
