KATZ SPECIAL ADVERTISING AGENCY, 600 Fifth Avenue. New York. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: I Months 1.30 1 5.00 BeU Thone 6101 TUESDAY, DECEMBER 27. 1932 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto husbandman walteth for the precious patience for.lt, until he receive the Patience is nobler motion than THE SWING BACK TO THE FARM America's farm population is growing. In spite of an agricultural depression that is both extensive and severe, the number people who live on farms has Increased by hundreds of thousands.

Today, the department of agriculture believes, the total Is not far below the record of 32,000,000 set away back In the palmy, days of This, of course, Is due chiefly to sion, not the agricultural one. Young homes In the boom years of the '20s have been glad enough to get back workers for years have taken over idle farm land In preference to staying In town and living on charity. For the man on the farm has one huge advantage over the man In the city, when times are" bad he is right at the source of the food supply. As long as he has a few potatoes, a few vegetables, a few chickens, a few pigs and a. cow or two he can keep on eating, even If his pocketbook Is flat.

One wonders, though, how long this swing back to the farm will last. For the farmer has to pay taxes; he has to keep his land and equipment in shape; he has to buy stock, feed, fertilizer seed and the like; he has, all too often, to carry a mortgage; and to do all of these things he has to have a cash Income. Living at the source of the food supply doesn't help you much If a deputy sheriff comes along some day and puts you off because you can't pay what you owe. Several years ago a New York business man found a way to make farm life pay. He bought a small farm and raised produce for his own consumption Instead of for the market.

He bought mall mills for grinding grain, pressure cookers for canning vegetables, and so on; and presently he found that he was producing practically everything that his family ate, from green vegetables to wheat flour and corn meal; the Income from his city Job carried his farm's expenses, and, he was about twice as well to do as he ever had been before. Our government should subsidize the theatre, says Yeats, the Irish playwright Then, maybe, troops could be used against those, folks who have a habit of Interrupting the first act. DEATH OR MERCY? When her baby, expected to be born late in January, is twe months old, Mrs, Beatrice Ferguson Snipes, of Columbia, S. will go to her death in the electric cliair in that state's penitentiary. That is the situation as it stands now and which will be carried out unless Governor Blackwood of South Carolina chooses to intervene.

Mothers from all parts of the United States have written him, petitioning clemency for this 36 year old woman who stands convicted of murder and awaiting the penalty. 1 Mrs. Snipes shot and killed a policeman when that officer attempted to arrest her husband on a bootlegging charge. No 'reasonable complaint can be found with the courts, which took tbeir natural course in accordance with the laws. The real question before Governor Blackwell new Is: Will society be improved or bettered by the execution of this woman and the resultant placing of a life time stain on her child, now unborn? If that coal bill worries you, running Into debt $5,000 a minute.

SMOKERS FOR LADIES Action of the Lackawanna railroad in taking a poll among its commuters In the New York metropolitan area to see what sort of smoking cars they want on their trains is a little reminder tint customs in regard to smoking In public places and on public conveyances have changed vastly In the last few years and it's hard for a public servant to tell Just what to do about It. Once upon a time a train had one smoking car and permitted smoking nowhere else. But one car isn't always enough nowadays; besides there are women passengers who want to smoke. What is a raliroad to do? Lackawanna's commuters are being asked if they want smoking permitted on every car, or if one car is to be set aside especially for non smokers; and it is probable that other railroads doing a large commuting business will watch the returns In this odd little pi with a good deal of Interest. Another one of those optical harder it is to get.

ROMANCE STILL LIVES Few stories in modern times have had more of the essence of pure 1 romance than the one which has built itself up about the disappearance of Paul Redfern, the American flyer who vanished five years ago while trying to fly from Georgia to Rio de Janeiro. Redfern, according to this story, came down deep in the Brazilian Jungle and is now living there as the king of a native tribe, which honors him highly but refuses to let him get away. So now a new expedition Is being prepared to go down to the Jungle, look for him and bring him back to civilization. Here Is a sample of the sort of yarn that adventure story writers have been fond of for decades. If it isn't true, it ought to be; for it comprises Just the right proportions of mystery, adventure an 1 surprise.

The modern world, apparently, is quite as capable as former agte of producing exclt ing talcs. The real need of business Is YOUR HEALTH This Is the fourth of six articles by Dr. Flshbein reviewing the progress of medical science In 1932. The serious hazard to the human body of certain elements, such as thallium, radium and mesothorium, was brought prominently to light in 1932 by the discovery of cases of poisoning by the use of all these sub stances, taken either as such or in the form of various salts, or some tlmM in taking food accidentally contaminated by these substances. Thallium particularly has been used to cause hair to fall out, and is found at the same time, to have serious effects on the nervous system, and, if taken in sufficient quantity, to produce death.

Application to a human case revealed the fact that a substance called methylene blue can be used as an antidote for poisoning by cyanide and by carbon monoxide. Studies carried on In the laboratory and hospital of NorthrTstfrn Medical srhool In Chlcaeo lajrly led to the development of a ptcparaUon of mucin, which is de Sunday.

O. M'INTYRE NEW YORK, 26. When night falls, New York throws open its doors to ambition. More than 100,000 students are enrolled In a half hundred night schools or evening institutes. Many are men caught mid life without professions as well as independent young wives with day time Here In studious cluster young men clutch at the golden opportunity.

Too, there is a sprinkling of the aged who are tasting for the first time the superior joys of learning. The curriculum includes everything from bookkeeping to Greek literature. Such schools open at 8 o'clock, when movies and billiard halls fill. They are usually in poorer districts where outside streets are filled with a vague excitement. Since the increase of unemployment, the rosters are bigger than ever.

Instead of grousing, many Jobless Improve themselves. A Lucky Usher Sometimes results are astounding. An usher in a Broadway movie so mastered Spanish and commercial law in two years that lie has been given a $10,000 a year post in far off Madrid. A wash room boy at the Commodore has become a senior clerk In a law office. Now and then a young wife's career Is blocked by a baby carriage.

But in a few months she returns and completes her course. There are times when a hard working husband may require tour years to master a technical trade. Yet his patience is often rewarded by a larger pay envelope. Manhattan bas an army of 'neurasthenics expecting death nightly. Mostly rich and retired, they luxuriate In mansions on ex elusive streets.

They are a golden harvest for aristocratic M. with soothing voices. One venerable hypochondriac, who believes herself evecially marked by the arch ancl. has bnA a nurse sit at her Murray HIH bedside for eight rears. Incidentally, she sleeps like the proverbial log.

I lived for brief space In a shabbily fashionable boarding house on the fringe of Murray Hill. "Paying guests" dressed for dinner and talked about foxes they once chased. The house was a venerable brown stone escape into discreet poverty. A single back room for two with three meals totaled si 6 a week. It housed perhaps the last arbtter of swirling caoed man ners and focus of pitful social aspirations the star boarder.

He was a fussy, throaty and retired English maior. who touosd his h's. I was develODlng my famous arm reach he carried out his noble tradition of being a snob. The maior was not without his facetious moment, however. There was a night when the entire boarding house remained sleepless through the neighborly blasts of an ambitious comeust next door.

AC oreamsst someone remarked: "Anyway he seems a finished musician." To which the major garrumphed: "If my aim is as accurate as my hope, he will be." No one has scattered many stars across the theatrical firmament or given so generously of his gifts as Gus Edwards. The list is too long to enumerate here. There is scarcely a benefit where Gus Is not advancing a newer crop. He is not in need of charity by any means, but by all laws cf economic compensation he should be enormously wealthy. He's far from that.

And mats dear oia Broadway. Indeed, the oly producer to beat the rap was Bdasco. He sagaciously salted a million in government bonds during the era of greatest prosperity. Erlanper's millioned holdings almost vanished. Nearly all magnates flourishing In Mister Dave's time are bankrupt or on the brink of insolvency.

While the theatre bans at the knees there has been at least an upshoot for old timers of the silent screen. Montague Love at the Empire gives the most realistic performance of a police Inspector the town ever saw. A lesser role, it ranks in sheer artistry with the star. Elizabeth Yoimp attractive debutante artrers. also stark dramatic poignancy to a difficult part In the same play.

It is a day most fortunate for seeking interviews as well as for planning work for the new year.

Industry comes under a planetary government that is most promising. In the readjustment of supply and demand manual labor is to gain many advantages. Skilled hands as well as well stored brains will be required In many places, it is forecast, and thorough training is bo be more important than ever before. Although this may be a disappointing day for those seeking employment, Initiative may lead to future good luck, astrologers declare. The stars smile on women today.

They should push whatever is of paramount interest to them, even if It means spending their Christmas cnecKs. It Is a happy wedding day, for the planetary government indicates that there will be undv TStanding and comradeship betwaen the bride and bridegroom ail through the years. Again it is foretold that with the reactionary swing of fa.vhions and manners divorce will lose much of its recent glamor. Society will frown more and mare on those who break the marriage it is prognosticated. This is read as an auspicious date for Informal parties as well as for those that involve more outlay and Je3 friendliness.

New York and Washington, D. C. are to be scenes of brilliant social entertainments, it Is predicted and many distinguished foreign visitors will claim attention. 'Warning Is given that extravagance may be of serious effect upon the public mind, for astrologers foretell riots and outbreaks in more than one city. While display of wealth 1s discouraged by the seers they counsel gen erous spending by ail who sail nave weaitn.

icopyrlght, 1332) Book Reviews INVITATION TO THE WALTZ, by Rosamond Lchmann (Henry Hoit and Both of Miss Lehman's earlier works, "Dusty Answer" and "A Note in Music," created a sensation when they were published, and this, her latest novel, promises to be quite as popular as the two previous ones. In "Invitation to the Waltz" she returns to the more youthful mocd of "Dusty Answer," choosing for her heroine Olivia, a 17 year old girl, who In the course of the story celebrates two momentous occasions her birthday and her first formal dance. It is the dance given by Marigold Spencer which occupies most of the author's attention. She most delicately and sympathetically describes the anticipation and the realization of the dance with' all the attendant excitement, fears and uncertainty. The reader flutters about In the ballroom with Olivia, struggling to be attractive yet Inconspicuous to avoid certain people and make an impression upon others.

The whole tale is charmingly fraught with descriptions ot the naive Joys and fears of a young girl a medium In which Miss Lehman seems to be at her very best. This book has already been chosen by critics as one of the finest cf the season and seems dertlned for trill further glory In the eyes of large and discriminating reading public. i VERY EVIDENT "Dearest," he cried, as he nearly mothered her with "can't you ree I love you?"

The European Whirligig News Behind the World News By JOHN STATESMAN Mbnarchial Plans in Germany Belgium Sends Arms to Former Foe More Languages to Separate Nations IS THERE anything in the talk about the restoration of the monarchy in Gerniahy? The Crown Prince of Prussia, with his wife, Is the center of the monarchist movement in Germany.

The Prince has the sympathy of the great industrialists of the Ruhr, the support of Hugenberg, and much strength In Pomeranla, and Silesia; The great masses of workers are almost universally opposed to the movement. can only take place by force. The ex Kaiser, involved In old enmities, has no intention of renouncing his rights, To make matters more complicated members of the Hohenzollern family are all pledged to make no move without the consent of Wilhelm II. The Crown Prince hopes to be named Regent. After the regency the title of emperor would be given to his son, Prince William Frederick, now twenty six years old.

So a slight to the ex Kaiser would be avoided. The ex Kaiser does not favor the Idea and since he still controls his family, monarchist activity is paralyzed. A source very close to the Kaiser asserts that he has no intention of being put in the shade. Well Armed CNGLAND is now full of agitation against the Ireaty of Locarno. Agi tators against the treaty are found in all major parties Laborites, Liberals, and' Conservatives.

The treaty pledges Great Britain lo defend the frontiers of France, Germany, and Belgium as established by the Treaty of Versailles. The British foreign secretary, Sir John Simon, does not believe England is required to defend the frontiers oi Poland and Czechoslovakia in any way. The lssug is complicated because France, Poland and Czecho Slovakia have concluded agreements ol mutual support in case of aggression. How do these agreements affect the Locarno pact? Hitler forces are notably weir armed. Their supplies have come primarily from Italy, Belgium and Holland.

In recent months munitions runners have been arrested in Holland. They got machine guns revolvers, and guns from Belgium and smuggled them into Germany for Hitler. Re ports in conservative German papers such as the Frankfurter Nachrichten have exposed this traffic, but claimed the contraband was headed for tha Ealkans. How odd that Liege has become the center for arms shipments Into Germany. Belgian munitions makers are urging Belgium to increve armaments as a measure of defense against the German menace nd at the same time they are shipping vast quantities of arms Into Germeny! More Dis unity Than Ever CINCE the war Europe has resurrected many languages either nearly extinct or those which had no importance.

Gaelic in Ireland now taught in all the schools); 14 or 15 Slavic languages, various Baltic tongues all have been revived. And Catalan has been revived In Spain as an official language. Europe has not been unified, even spiritually, as a result of the war. It is increasingly difficult for nations to act in concert, or even to understand each other. The French luxury trades are all in grave difficulties.

These French makers sell chiefly in the United States, Argentina, and Braz'2 and in Eastern Europe; Tariff wars, protective customs have not poiuced the expected results. Many of these luxury trades must content tiemselvej nowadays with purely local markets. French military expenses for a number of years have exceeded appropriations. Reckoned In million franc units the statistics are as follows: Estimated Expenses Actual Expenses 1928 10569 10.500 1929 11.317 12.83? 1930 31 12,550 13.S26 1931 32 13,136 14.127 Military expenditures have Increased 3,627 million francs in four years.

prance Spain of a military and political nature, M. Herriot has denied the whole affair. Actually, he signed several emigration and labor agreements. Students at the University Madrid indulged In "demonstrations" with the cry, "Down with French imperialism." An important Spanish political figure objescs to the demonstrations as unfair, since there is no foundation for the rumor. Spain Is not anxious to enter into any alliance.

She has maintained her isolation and intends to continue It.
