FIFTEEN PERISH IN CANADA RAIL CRASH Express Tears Into Rear of Excursion Train. Hamilton, Ont. — The splintered wreckage of a Christinas excursion train was searched for additional victims as officials of the Canadian National railways opened an investigation of a collision which took at least fifteen lives. More than a score of persons were Injured, some critically, when the De-troit-to-Toronto express tore into the rear of the stationary excursion train on a siding at Dundas, seven miles from Hamilton. Five women were among the mangled victims of the disaster whose bodies have been recovered but as yet are unidentified. Additional deaths were feared. Officials of the railway said the cause of the accident apparently was an open switch, and promised an intensive inquiry. Laden with merry holiday travelers, the excursion train was bound from London Ont, to Toronto. Most of the victims, all of whom apparently were Canadians, were residents of those two cities. Two wooden cars at the rear of the excursion train, which had been switched onto a siding because of a “hot box,” were crushed and many passengers, screaming in agony, were pinned for hours beneath the wreckage. The alertness and quick thinking of Engineer B. Burrell of the speeding train was credited by railway officials with having averted an even greater tragedy. Seeing no hope of preventing the locomotive from piling into the rear of the special train, Burrell ordered it cut loose from the coaches behind and prevented them from telescoping. Official Is Slain From Ambush; Wife Wounded Bayfield, Wis.—Hector Lamont, fifty, chairman of the Russell township board, was killed by an unidentified assailant about 1 a. m. and his wife was critically wounded by a rille shot when they were fired upon from ambush as they returned to their farm home near Radcliffe. A rifle bullet grazed their daughter, Margaret, fifteen, who was with them. Authorities said the shooting was done from the chicken coop of the Lamont farm. A pair of overalls were found in the coop. Youth Gives Life to Save Two Boys Brownsville, Pa.—A seventeen-year-old farmer boy sacrificed his life saving two youngsters in a Christmas day tragedy at Elliott dam. Leroy Maple saw Howard Sords, twelve, and James Leech, thirteen, skating on the pond above the dam. The ice gave way, sending the two into the 15-foot freezing water. Maple raced out and dived. He brought the younger boy safely to shore, then returned and took care of the older. As they reached safety, Maple’s strength gave out Ethiopia Accuses Italy of Invasion Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.—The Ethiopian government charged that Italians had settled in Ethiopian territory and were continuing to fly airplanes over ft The statement claimed the Italians are building an automobile road from Radir to Ado and Guerlogubi, in this country. WASHINGTON BRIEFS The past fiscal year saw definite Improvement in the business and financial state of the nation, Secretary Roper informed the President in his annual report as head of the Department of Commerce. Low output of domestic mines was blamed by treasury officials for the government’s failure to purchase the amount of silver it had agreed to acquire during the first year of the London silver agreement. The intelligence, loyalty and high morale of the National Guard were stressed by Maj. Gen. George E. Leach, chief of the National Guard bureau of tue War department, in his report to Secretary Dern for the fiscal year ended June 30. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, chief of staff of the United States army, analyzed the land defense of the country in his annual report to the secretary of war. He concluded the army is far below in strength and equipment, a minimum consistent with any regard for continued security. Mother, Two Daughters and Friend Killed Lincoln, Neb.—A young mother and two of her small daughters, hurrying to catch a train home for Christmas, and a woman companion were killed in the collision of their automobile with a motor truck. Five others were injured. Mrs. Clem M. Cunning, twenty-eight, Kansas City. Kan.; Nadine Cunning, Dine; Merle June Cunning, four months old; Mrs. Clayton Stoddard, h-rty-six, of Seward, Neb., lost their lives. i

\ BRISBANE THIS WEEK A Pretty Good Christmas Germs Travel High e Are Coughing Better Prairie Dogs, Catacombs It was a satisfactory Christmas, the best since the depression began. The nation at least knows that the depression is here and that attending to it, instead of talking about things “just around the corner,” is the program. The government knows that money was made to be spent in emergencies and that helping the people is cheaper than revolution. The government is spending and helping. Colonel Lindbergh proves, after transatlantic flights, that bacteria can travel across the ocean by air. The winds of the north Atlantic carry microscopic germs of life through the upper air. Disease germs might travel, thus, across either ocean. That interests anybody planning to make war more interesting by adding disease germs to poison gas and high explosives. Scientists already believed that, since life cannot be created on the earth, except supernaturally, life began on this planet probably with germs that had traveled millions, perhaps billions, of miles through space at absolute zero. They started life on the earth w’hen it had sufficiently cooled off. and may have been brought in the wake of flying meteors. Heat destroys microscopic life, cold does not. Cheerful optimists, telling you that conditions are getting better, remind you of Meyer Hecht's benevolent friend who told each tuberculosis patient, “You are coughing better this morning.” We all are “coughing” a little better. It has been the best, most freely spending Christmas season since the depression began. Merchants testify to that. The season of grand opera ; opened In New York with every seat sold and a demand for seats nonexistent. — Mr. Hull, able secretary of state, I wants freer trade with foreign countries. Those that shut their markets to the outside world are like “animals which burrow in the ground.” says Mr. Hull. That might be true, without ; proving that protection is unwise. Animals burrowing in the ground—prairie dogs, etc. —would regret it if j they came to the surface and sat | around inviting coyotes to eat them. Early Christians burrowing in the catacombs were better off than they would have been on the surface, thrown to the lions. j It is better for this country to burI row under protection than be thrown | to the lions of free competition of labor and manufacturing. Occasionally you hear what Mr. 1 I Field called “a sour note” in the hopeful chorus of “Happy Days Are Here Again.” Senator Dickinson of lowa— Republican, of course —says NRA plans have collapsed. He finds that • “monopoly” is being encouraged, priI vate in’tiative is being depressed and the small business man driven to the ■ wall—“ The rich are becoming richer and the poor poorer.” That will be news for some of the rich —they had not heard it. You may hear many of them say now, “If I can get together and keep enough to take care of my family, that is all I ask,” ' and they mean it. — > Projects thus far proposed by con- ' gressmen and executives in Washing- ’ ton would cost Uncle Sam, in addition , to money already spent, $30.(MX».000,000, and would double the national debt. If the money were wisely created, wisely spent, the country would be better off, with many employed in useful work. But if it is found necessary to inflate with interest-bearing bonds, instead of , simply printing the money and later । retiring it as bonds would be retired, the $30,000,000,000 would cost thecoun- , try $60,000,000,000. Is it really necessary to force on । taxpayers that extra load of $30,000,000,000 for interest, when interest bonds are just so much “inflation money,” In no respect different from greenbacks? According to dispatches from Nanking, China’s killing methods make the efforts of Stalin or Hitler seem feeble. Gen. Kiang Kai-Shek gives proof in Kiangsi province. Six million people have b -en driven from their homes and 1,000.000 killed in cold blood by “Red Communist” troops. The killing championship is now with China, naturally one of the most peaceful countries on earth. — Mr. Irenee du Pont, munitions manufacturer, who knows about war, since he produces “the goods,” tells the munitions committee “the only way to wage a war is to have an absolute monarch at the head of the government”; also “we shall have a h—l of a time in case of war.” No question about tue last statement. Mr. Baruch, entering whole-hearted-ly into the President’s campaign to prevent profits for munitions makers in wartime, wisely urges preparation, says the country should buy and store thousands of tons of tin for use in the event of war. “I think we ought to buy tin just as we would invest in a battleship, and keep it in storage.” ©.

fn ° National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckart

Washington.—Time after time since < President Roosevelt entered the White House, many observ- < Again at ers have insisted Crossroads that he had reached a crossroads and that on those occasions he necessarily had to choose between the right j and the left. They contended with con- j siderable justification that he either j had to be conservative or radical. But ( somehow the President arranged to foli low both roads at once. At least that j conclusion has been reached by those , who classify themselves as liberals. . Now, observers are saying again that the President has reached the , । crossroads and must choose between ' the right and the left. With the convening of congress there has come forward the usual number —perhaps 1 । should say more than the usual number—of proposals for radical or con- ; servative legislation as the case may j be. There are dozens, almost hundreds, of bills advocating nostrums and crackpot ideas which cannot possibly do । ' more than take up time and keep the I government printing oflice busy at the , expense of the taxpayers in printing the bills themselves. There are in all , of this mess as well many pieces of worthwhile legislation as well as the ( proposals bearing earmarks of draft- , • Ing under White House guidance. In addition there are close to six dozen presidential appointments upon which the senate must act. Some of ■ these names are of individuals of known radical tendencies. Some others । are recognized as equally conservative. | It will be the senate’s job to pass upon these nominations which, some observers insist, represent perhaps the widest variation In economic views that has ever been sent to the Capitol for confirmation of appointment. As a corollary for this confused state, there are the growing differences of < opinion, based on presidential policy proposals, as to whether the government should attempt to provide relief through work as Mr. Roosevelt desires or should turn to a plain, unadulterated dole. There is the demand from the White House for legislation putting the federal government further Into competition with business by expansion of publicly owned power facilities and the question of liquidating or continuing to expand such programs as 1 that of loans to home owners and extension of NRA. Summed up, it would appear, superficially at least, that Mr. Roosevelt is | definitely’ at the crossroads. 1 am told by legislative leaders, however, that the administration program thus far advanced again does not commit Mr. Roosevelt definitely to follow either the radical or conservative pathways. They point out that there Is an-unusual admixture of two schools of economic thought represented in legislation bearing presidential approval and their thought seemed to be that Mr. Roosevelt will avoid being forced into either camp at this time. • • • It has been most interesting to observe the fluctuation of temperature among the various More Action New Dealers. Prior Than Results? to the last election they were very low In spirit. Many of them were saying. In private at least, that Mr. Roosevelt 5 was getting out of hand as far as they were concerned and was turning certainly toward the conservative school of thought. At the same time among conservative members of the administration and in congress and to a considerable extent among business leaders, there was a growing feeling that they had witnessed the phenomena of having their own ears pinned back just when they thought they were on the upgrade. Following this change of trends, along comes the mass of White House legislation, some of which pleases the New Dealers and some of which pleases the conservatives. Each finds fault with that portion of the program that is reasonably satisfactory to the other. This contrariety of opinion extends ■ into the ranks of members of the house and senate. Consequently, the question I to which the observers are now seeking an answer is whether Majority Leader Robinson in the senate and the Democratic wheel-horses in the house are going to be able to keep their tremendous numbers In line. Thus far, there has been no word from the majority leaders either in the house or the senate indicating any doubt on their part that the administration whip will fail to drive recalcitrant members ' into the proper alleys. Unbiased obi servers are taking the position, how I ever, that time alone will tell. And it may be added with some emphasis that if the wild horses break loose from the hitching post once, the current session of congress may provide much more action than results. Present plans of the Republican leadership, if there are enough Republicans left to make their Soldiers’ presence felt, indiLobby Strong cate that the Democratic commanders need not expect any help from that quarter in pulling hot chestnuts out of the fire. For example, I understand that the soldiers’ bonus question will be used by the Republicans as a sort of prod with which to disturb the ma- ; jority party. It seems definite that the house and senate will pass legislation I for immediate payment of the bonus. It may not be a program for full payment of the sum that is not due until 1945, but the pressure is so strong that some action will be forthcoming. If Mr. Roosevelt sticks to his runs and vetoes any bonus legislation excepting that proposing to care for the ; destitute ex-soldiers, sailors and marines, there is enough strength in congress to pass the legislation over his veto. The soldiers’ lobby is strong; of that there can be no doubt. The members will be thinking of their political ’ j future, not Mr. Roosevelt’s, when the

question is put before them. Then Is when the Republican minority could be of distinct help to the administration but, apparently, that is just the thing the Republican minority is not going to do. The administration is now examining various avenues of a possible compromise on the bonus payments and it is though this course that a hope exists on the part of administration leaders to avoid the showdown mentioned ajove. Knowing that it cannot count on the Republican minority for any help to carry through its plans, the administration may make some concessions to the bonus advocates. These most certainly will be made unless a count of noses by the leadership shows a little later that the supporters of a full bonus payment can be whipped—and right now that is generally considered by observers as being impossible. Here again the views of radicals and conservatives clash. There will be some radicals supporting the bonus payment in order to force the President into a position where he must inflate the currency further. That group thinks inflation of the currency will boost prices and provide the necessary lypodennic injection to get us out of the depression. Opposed to these are a considerable number of house and senate members who fear inflation and its results like they fear the poison fangs of a rattlesnake So, when the bonus question is joined as an issue It seems to me we will see an Interesting exposition of how politics makes strange bedfellows. • • « President Roosevelt Is about to open up the federal treasury for loans to cities to provide Federal funds for construcLoans to Cities °f municipal light and power plants. He has announced definitely that he favors this procedure and, therefore, in effect has invited cities to join the march on Washington for more federal loans. The newest development in the administration program of loaning money here ani there seems to have resulted in repercussions of a more important nature than objections voiced to other types of federal loans. Here in Washington considerable discussion has developed as to the wisdom of this policy and this has been followed by speculation as to the ultimate end of a program of this kind. Opinion throughout the country apparently has not been definitely crystallized yet but from all indications it appears we are due to hear much debate on the newest New Deal Idea. Objectors to the program of providing loans to cities for construction of municipal light and power plants insist that Mr. Roosevelt has taken the longest step toward state socialism thus far to be made a part of his New Deal. They contend that Mr. Roosevelt has gone beyond his recovery program and has embarked upon a plan representing part and parcel of his scheme for public ownership of all industries impressed with a public interest through service of a monopolistic character. Opponents also argue that the President is placing privately owned industries under a severe handicap by forcing tYem to compete with what should be private Industry but what actually -is their own government. In some quarters also I hear expressions of a fear that if any substantial number of cities borrow federal money to build their own light and power plants, the federal government will have expanded to that extent its domination over those cities. Through loans to banks, to agriculture and to many other lines, federal Influence daily is being exerted upon the private life of the country until, some observers declare, states, counties and municipal.ties are gradually sinking into oblivion insofar as their own self-gov-ernment is concerned. On the other hand, such advocates of public ownership as Senator Norris of Nebraska, are elated over Mr. Roosevelt’s decision to proceed along public ownership lines. Senator Norris believes Mr. Roosevelt has authority now under public works and recovery act provisions to promote publicly owned light and power plants about any place he pleases. The Nebraska senator, it will be remembered, was the spearhead of the movement that resulted in creation of the Tennessee Valley authority and the program for development of electrical energy from the Muscle Shoals dams in the Tennessee river. Already, privately owned light and power companies in many sections contiguous to the Tennessee river plant have been virtually forced to sell their properties to the TV A. While there are no records available In Washington to substantiate this statement, it is common talk here that in most instances the privately owned corporations were forced into a positi m where they had to sell their prop erties at less than the amount at which they would be valued in normal busi ness practices. Os course, through the whole picture runs a constant claim that Indiv dual users of electrical energy in the TV A area will obtain the current at a lower cost than if they bought the same energy from private plants. This Is made possible, the apponents of public ownership claim, by the fact that the government has not set up capital for the plant equal to the actual expenditures made there. One authority told me a few days ago that on the government books, the Tennessee Valley layout was being capital ized at $25,000,000, whereas, he asserted, the actual expenditure of taxpayers’ money there approximates SCO,100.000. Revenue to provide a profit on $25,000,000 obviously could be much less than that required to show a profit on an investment of $60,000,000. ©, Western Newspaper Union.

TRUE GHOST STORIES ■ ■ ■ By Famous People Copyright by Public Ledger. Inc. WXU Service. By EDWARD G. ROBINSON Motion-Picture Star. “ T N MY early barnstorming days of * one-night stands, I landed in a j small hotel in a New York hamlet. ■ The room was dismal, hut I felt for- ’ tunate that I could occupy it alone,” I related Edward G. Robinson, the bad I man of the films. “During the night a queer, cold tingling sensation pervaded my body. There were slight noises in the room, and I attuned my ears to catch what they were. “This was not the sound of a person moving or breathing. It seemed at first that there were stifled groans, but these subsided and gave way to a sort of gurgling rattle which came intermittently. The hair at the back of my I neck bristled and burned. “About two minutes later this queer I rattle ended with what sounded like a gasp of breath and one louder rattle. ■ It seemed to be right close to me. and yet from far away. The last rattle did I not give me any better clue, but a , new sound had appeared which immei diately followed on the last. “It was a steady drip, drip, drip, like a faucet dripping into a pan of water. "The continual drip, drip, drip persisted until 1 thought it would drive ime out of my mind. It seemed louder I than the other noises. “Fear overcame me. and as I could I not sleep any longer 1 decided to investigate. “M.v clothes were thrown over the chair near the dresser, and I decided to find a match in my trousers pocket to light the gas and dispel once for all this ghastly experience. Accordingly, 1 began to crawl gingerly out of bed, but no sooner did one foot touch the floor than it landed in a small puddle of warm liquid. Hurriedly, I drew my foot back and huddled myself under the covers. “It could not have been water, for It seemed to my then sensitive touch to be of a little heavier consistency, and its warmth was unnatural. Instinctively, I felt something supernatural in it. but my rational mind re- [ fused to accept it. I “1 was too frightened to get out of bed now to search tor matches and the gas jet, but 1 knew where the pool , was into which 1 heard the drip, drip, i dripping of whatever it was. With up- ■ turned palm, I held my hand over the I place. Nothing came from the ceil- | ing, but still the drip, drip, drip kept on. “For more than an hour this continued. and then the drops seemed to fall seldom, until, at last, they ceased entirely. Sleep came welcomely to my almost shattered nerves. “When I awoke my first thought was of my night's experience. Hastily I looked at the floor where my foot had encountered the warm liquid into which something had dripped for more than an hour, but to my relief the faded carpet was clear and dry. “Laughing at what I now considered a silly nightmare, I slid out of i bed and prepared to dress. But my j sheepish smile froze on my face when I saw the foot that had stepped out I of the bed during the night. j “It was red with blood, which was I now dried by the warmth under the covers. “Searching for a wound which might have caused it. 1 could only discover that the skin on my foot was as clear and unscarred as it was the day before. I “Out of the corner of my eye 1 । could see the hotel owner studying me while I ate breakfast downstairs. | “The landlord put on a furtive air, as though he wanted no one to near 1 I him, as he approached me, and told ' i me of an event which happened some ten years before. 1 | “It appears that a man who was 1 later unidentified had passed through I the town and taken a night s lodging in that same room in which I had j just had my strange experience. No ! sooner had he gone up to bed than i another traveler entered and was given the room adjoining. . | “There was no sound of any kind ; during the night, but the following ; morning the landlord discovered that the second traveler had departed hurriedly and his bed had not been slept • in. It seemed very unusual, as there ■ was no means of transportation out of town during the night. > “The proprietor’s curiosity was aroused: he knocked on the door of the > first traveler, and when he received no • answer boldly opened it and entered. t l “The man was sprawled across the bed in his night clothes. His head I hung over the side of the bed toward • the floor, with his sightless eyes looking > at the ceiling. It was therefore plain 1 to see that the man’s throat had been slashed by a sharp knife or a razor . and through the night his life's blood 5 had dripped onto the carpet near the f ! edge of the bed.” , — “Baltimore of England” : As the largest city in Essex outside i the London area.

USE COLOR SCHEME TO SELECT LAYERS Red-White-and-Blue Method Is Recommended. Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.—WNU Service. A simple plan of selecting the best layers in a farm flock is described by H. I* Shrader, of the United States Department of Agriculture, as the red-whlte-and-blue method. It calls for the । use of three colors of leg bands for marking three desirable characteristics of hens in the breeding flock. The first culling date provides a check on all pullets that ‘have begun to lay. These are the early-maturing pullets and are marked with red leg bands. It is easy to determine aa early layer, as she has a deep-red comb and wattles and a moist vent. If the bird belongs to one of the yellowskinned varieties she will show distinct j bleaching around the vent and on the I beak. The next culling period affords an opportunity to check the rate at which the pullets have laid during the winter. Those that have laid steadily will have lost, through the egg yolks, most of the yellow coloring matter assimilated from yellow and green feed. But birds that have taken a vacation during the winter have some of this pignit; t, readily observable, in the beaks and shanks. All pullets with bleached beaks and shanks are marked with a i white leg band. The last period for culling comes after the hot weather has arrived. This is the time to detect the birds that take their vacation before they have finished their laying year. The molt is a good Indication of the time these' pullets have been out of laying. The bird with ragged, worn feathers may not look like a blue-ribbon winner compared with her sister that has clean, bright feathers. Rut the bird with the worn feathers deserves the blue leg band because she is a persistent layer and has kept up her production into the hot weather instead of molting a new crop of feathers. Leg bands are removed from birds that go broody. The red-white-and-blue layers should be mated the next spring to males from flocks with trap-nest records that i show heavy winter production of good- ! sized eggs of the proper color for the breed. Heat for Poultry Houses Where Winter Is Severe Heating poultry houses seems to be necessary, in very cold parts, if hens are to lay well in winter, says the Mont- ■ I real Herald. The danger of fire makes j great care essential. Attention to a i few elementary principles will assure j j a maximum of safety and prevent very j । heavy losses. First, the floor of the house and the | ; stove should be level. This not only i makes for less danger of oil leakage i and better stove functioning, but also makes for keeping the litter level instead of piled up in the low spot which ' may be under the stove. Re sure the thermostat or wafer is in good shape • and actually regulating the stove. Place asbestos or sand, or both, un- । ! der the stove. Re sure the sand is as • | deep or deeper than the litter, and i scrape out any litter that works under j i the hover. Making sure that the sand is deep enough, and that the peat. ■ crushed cobs or straw are not under the stove, should be a daily checking job. The brooder house should always tie placed far enough from the other build- ! ings so that if the worst comes, it won’t involve other farm buildings. Lack of Mineral in Feed Lameness in chickens may be the , result of a lack of calcium in their . food, which can be offset by feeding j oyster shell, placing it before the birds in self-feeding hoppers; or, add about 5 per cent bone meal to their mash ra- . tion. Lameness may also be caused ; by intestinal parasites. The only way ( to relieve intestinal parasites in hens is to give them worm capsules and follow j this up in about six to eight hours with a dose of Epsom salts. It may be ( necessary to repeat the dose In about , ten to twelve weeks’ time. —Montreal : Herald. Fattening Cockerels The size of pen necessary to fatten ■ 20 cockerels would be about 10 by 12 i feet, providing the cockerels are from ! ' four to five pounds each. It is hard to i tell how much it will cost to fatten the ’ birds. Very much depends on one's ' ability as a feeder and the constitu- . tion and vigor of the cockerels. The ' ' pen should be light; there is no object i । in having it dark. The birds will do j > better where they can have consider- i 1 able sunlight, providing they are In 1 confinement and the pen ventilated. I s Sanitary Poultiy Houses Sanitation means a lot to some poul- ; trymen and not so much to others. We should use our common sense, declares ‘ I a poultry expert at the North Carolina ’ • | State college. Manure should not be ■ ’ j allowed to accumulate on the dropping i boards; litter should not become soggy I and sour; dr uking fountains should be s j cleaned once a day and sterilized once a week ; clean nests should be the rule i and the mash hoppers should be ( . scraped oat occasionally, especially in । damp weather. Poultry Prices Upward I Those who have looked to the poul . try yards for future sources of meat I io offset the high prices of other meats i which are in prospect this winter prob i ably are in for disappointment. The bureau of agricultural economics fore sees the price of poultry pr<":uet- g - J This tendency will be due to the fact that the hatch the past sea->n was lb 1 'per cent less, and there ha- been a large increase in the number of hens and pullets slaughtered.

Few Cases of Arthritis Can Be Left to Nature Correction of living habits, proper diet and removal of foci of infection do not always result in disappearance of pain or other symptoms in joints in cases of arthritis, according to Dr. Maurice F. Lautman, who writes on “Preventing Arthritis” in Hygeia Magazine. “Perhaps one of the greatest difficulties encountered in successfully preventing disease is the human tendency to gamble with health,” the author says. “Too much reliance is placed on the hope that nature, if not interfered with, will take care of everything. This belief as far as arthritis is concerned is, unfortunately, frequently disastrous. It is quite true that the individual who is threatened with arthritis has his work cut out for him. The task of preventing arthritis is not an easy one, to be sure, but one has only to contemplate the countless persons who are disabled or hopelessly crippled to realize that as far as arthritis is concerned, the ounce of prevention will be worth tons and tons of cure.” Week’s Supply of Postum Free Read the offer made by the Postum Company in another part of this paper.
