TODAY By ARTHUR BRISBANE iCopyrieht, 1930. Kino Features, Inc.) Wall Street's Incubator.

The Dean's For Eugenics. The Prohibition Verdict. THE Wall Street baby had another pain. One firm failed as an aftermath of stock gambling, and, men who should know better will be frightened by this little incident in the richest country in the world. From the biggest business men to the smallest nobody, we all should stop talking pessimism and instead show signs of energy and courage.

If we did, conditions would be better. In modern incubators there are no sharp corners, the inside being 'made round to keep chicks from Ictowding into a corner and smothering each other. Wall Street needs to be rebuilt apparently on incubator principle. Those easily scared to death are inclined to crawl into a corner and smother each other's prosperity. DEAN INGE of St.

Paul's Cathedral in London, most important clergyman, warns his fellows in tne cnurcn inai tney hiumi mn "ignore the eugenists," namely, those interested in producing better children. Nature does not know anything, according to the dean. We have scientific knowledge, and if we don't use It, that is "counted to us for a sin." The dean even takes an interest in the theory that a woman should be allowed to regulate the size of her family. There is something in the statement that nature doesn't always function perfectly.

This was Great Britain's day of deepest mourning for the 48 men who died in the wreck of the dirigible R-101 in France last Sunday. At midday in St. Paul's Cathedral the heart of an empire throbbed In sorrow during the great memorial service, attended by the envoys of the world powers and Britons of all degrees.

It was a moving and beautiful service, although a simple one, with old hymns and quiet prayers. Across the sweeping bends of the River Thames, there rested in old Westminister Hall a long double row of coffins. Before them, in a never ending line from 8 a. to 9 p. passed thousands who paid their last tribute to the dead.

The main service, however, was GOOD-WILL JOURNEY Coste and Bellonte Will Sail Back to France Next Friday B'j The Associated Press New "iork, Oct. 10. Landing at Curtiss Airport Friday, Dieudonne Coste and Maurice Bellonte completed the countrywide good will tour they began soon after their flight from Paris to New York and on to Dallas, Texas. In 25 days they have flown 15,000 miles and passed over 100 cities in 30 states. On Oct.

17, they will sail for France, where they will start another, though less extensive good will tour of Europe. The day before they leave they will be formally presented with a $25,000 check, the prize offered by William E. Easterwood, for the first flight from Paris to Dallas via New York. Easterwood, who greeted the fliers when they completed their tour Friday, has prepared a special check, printed in four colors, and bearing a chart of the Paris-to-Dal-las course, which cost $200. Although the check is drawn on a Dallas bank, Easterwood had that bank deposit money here so that it might be immediately converted into cash.

The presentation had been scheduled for Oct. 17, but the fliers requested Friday that it be one day earlier. The scarlet plane in which Coste and Bellonte have flown so far will be dismantled Saturday and crated for return to France with the fliers. SALE OF U. S.

PLANES IN BRAZIL IS DEBATEOli Government Attitude on Permission for Deals Is Unknown B'j The Associaltd Press Washington, Oct. 10. Whether the American government shall permit the sale of aircraft to federal authorities or revolutionists in Brazil became a question of speculation here Friday while the Brazilian embassy was denying victories attributed Thursday to revolutionists in their advance upon Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. The consent of the American government must be obtained by American airplane manufacturers before nicy sen curiam types or air equip-i meat emier to it'utftai aumoruies in Brazil or revolutionists. Acting Secretary of State Cotton said the question was not before the department, however, despite, reports from Brazil the federal gov-, eminent would endeavor to pur-1 chase bombing planes in the United! States.

Officials explained the reason fori making necessary supervision over such sales was because certain! types of planes were being manufactured for the American military and naval services. In the past, in order to encourage airplane manufacturing in this country the granting of such consent for sale has been routine and there appeared little doubt among observers that the United States would readily permit the sale of the so-called "certain types" of planes to the Brazilian government.

Prepared to go "to the bottom" of the prohibition question, President Hoover's law enforcement commission Friday neared a formula for solving this troublesome problem. This formula, still subject to future discussion, provides that the 10 men and one woman of the commission first determine whether the dry law is enforced, and if it is not, whether it can be perfected to make it enforceable.

Should the commission reach the conclusion that prohibition can not be enforced the next step would be a decision whether it shall recom mend for modification or repeal. There is no unanimity among the eleven minds on all details of such a program, particularly over the latter part of it. But as the commissioners went home over the week-end to study further the voluminous reports on prohibition there appeared to be signs that thi3 plan was gaining favor. It has been contended by an element of the commission in the three days of meetings that prohibition is the main issue confronting its inquiry into law enforcement and is the problem to be acted upon before going further with the work. This group has won its demand that the wet and dry problem be tackled now with a view to submitting an early report to President Hoover.

More than 150 miles off their course, Captain J. Errol Boyd and Lieutenant Harry P. Connor safely brought down the veteran trans-Atlantic monoplane Columbia soon after 5 p. m. Friday in the Sicily Isles, ending a flight of a little more than 24 hours from Newfoundland.

It was the veteran Columbia's second trans-Atlantic hop. The airmen telegraphed to London from Trcsco, one of the island group off Land's End, tip of Southwestern England, that they hoped to get away early Saturday for Croydon Airdrome, their destination. Their message, sent to Charles A. Levine, who flew the Atlantic with Clarence Chamberlin in the Co lumbia in 1927. said the monoplane was undamaged.

They landed on a beach in the little island. Both wera well. Word of the Columbia's landing reached officials at, the airdrome here from the coast guard station on St. Mary's Island, close to Tres- co. This message said that motor trouble had forced the monoplane down, less than 300 miles short, of its goal.

Another rpport, received at Penzance, Cornwall, however, said that a damaged gasoline tank had cut short the flight. The solitary telegraph line t' Trcsco from London closed at. the regular hour Friday evening, but was reopened later to let a few messages through for the aviators. Before confirmation was received of the fact that the Columbia had come down, the last previous report had shown her in the Atlantic shipping lane about 200 miles oft Land's End. Boyd and Connor were not sighted anywhere over Ireland, though civic guards had been told to keep on the watch for them.

Apparently their course took them well to the south of the Free St'-ite. Information that the sturdy monoplane's second crossing was at an end was received with relief by a small crowd that had gathered at Croydon airdrome to welcome the aviators after their dangerous journey.
