Detroit Rejects Candidates Backed by the C.I.O. IV. P'uJccuul SUMMARIZES THE WORLD'S WEEK C Western Newspaper Union. I La Guardia's Victory Tammany hall went down to inglorious defeat in the New York municipal election. Its mayor alty candidate, Jeremiah T. Maho T. E. Dewey iiey, wuo was sup ported also by Jim Farley and Senator Wagner, was thor oughly whipped by Fiorello H. La Guar dia, candidate of the fusionists, the Re publicans and the young American La bor party. LaGuar dia, the first "re form" mayor ever re-elected in New York, piled up a majority of 454,425. The Republicans hailed the result as a great victory for their party, and it was. But it also put the La bor party in the position of holding the balance of power in future elec tions in the metropolis. Second in interest only to the mayoralty vote was the fact that Thomas E. Dewey, the young man who smashed organized crime and the rackets in New York, was.el?et^ ed district attorney, defeating Har old W. Hastings, the Tammany nom inee. Dewey, who is only thirty-five years old, promises reform in the methods of the office, and his record gives assurance these will be car ried out. The Republicans regained control of the New York state assembly and of many upstate cities. C.I.O. Loses in Detroit '"THE first important venture of the C. I. O. in politics turned out disastrously for the Lewis organiza tion. Patrick H. O'Brien, its may oralty candidate, declared on the stump that "labor must seize the reins of government in Detroit and every other American city." Where upon the Detroit electors arose in their wrath and swept O'Brien and the C. I. O. out of the picture. Rich ard W. Reading, conservative can didate backed by the A. F. of L., won the office by a majority of 106, 907 votes. In addition, all the five C. I. O. backed candidates for the common council were decisively whipped. In New Jersey Senator A. Harry Moore, Democrat, was elected gov ernor over Lester H. Clee, Republi can, but only by virtue of a big ma jority in Hudson county. Moore has held the office twice before. It was the first time in the state's history that a governor has won a third term. The state constitution pro hibits a consecutive re-election but Moore was elected in 1925 and again in 1931, each time for a three-year term. James M. Curley, who has been three times mayor of Boston and once governor of Massachusetts, tried again for the mayoralty, but was defeated by Maurice J. Tobin, like Curley a Democrat. Philadelphia went Democratic, as did Pittsburgh, which re-elected Mayor Cornelius Scully. Labor Hits Dulce's Tour T> ESOLUTIONS denouncing the American tour of the duke and duchess of Windsor as a "slumming trip professing to study labor" were a rl nnto^ Ku (Via Ral ?UW|/?VVi WJ "'V timore Federation of Labor, and ap proved by President Green of the A.

Brussels Conference rORMAL opening of the far east A peace conference in Brussels brought out speeches by the chief delegates of America, Britain, France, Italy and Russia. Davis for the United States denounced re sort to armed force as a means of settling international disputes, and urged Japan and China to seek a settlement of their conflict "by peaceful processes." He continued: "We believe that co-operation between Japan and Chi na is essential to the best interests of those two countries and to peace throughout the world. We believe that such co-operation must be de veloped by friendship, fair play, and recriprocal confidence. If Japan and China are to co-operate it must be as friends and not as enemies. The problems underlying Chinese-Japa nese relations must be solved on a basis that is fair to each and ac ceptable to both." Eden for England and Delbos for | France seconded these sentiments. The Italian representatives made it I clear Italy would not stand for any j coercive measures against Japan. China was represented by Dr. Wellington Koo who said: "We de sire peace, but we know that we can not obtain it in the presence of Japanese aggression. So long as ag gression persists we are determined to continue our resistance. It is not peace at any price that will render justice to China or to the credit of civilization." Borah Talks Plainly WHILE Republican national I committeemen were gathering in Chicago for an important meet ing, Senator Borah of Idaho jumped into Drint with a vigorous denuncia tion of the plan, fa vored by Hoover and Chairman Ham ilton, to hold a mid term Republican convention next spring, for the form ulation of party pol icies. "We have heard a great deal about usurpation and die Senator Borah tatorsnip in recent years, saia Borah. "There could be no great er exhibition of usurpation or die tatorship in politics than for a few accredited men undertaking to fix the principles and policies for 17 million voters without ever having consulted the voters or received their indorsement in any way. "The Republican party is in its present plight largely because lead ers of the party too long neglected to take counsel of the voters. Lead ers acted upon the theory that the voters would be led or cudgeled along the road pointed out by the leaders." Almost Recognition Great Britain decided to let Franco, Spanish insurgent :hief, send consuls to England, and x> send official agents to the part of Spain he controls. This, it was said n official circles, did not imply -ecognition of Franco, but British L^borites thought it did, and conse luently assailed the government. Vnyhow, it was apparent Britain be ieved Franco was right when he laid in Burgos "the war is won."

Eccle# secretary murgenuiau ana ouagei Director Bell already were there, and all listened closely to Mr. Ec cles' talk concerning current busi ness conditions and the stock mar ket situation. It was decided by the President that the Commodity Credit corpora tion should provide $85,000,000 for the corn loans, obtaining the money from the RFC and repaying the latter agency when congress makes the necessary appropriations. Officials of the Agriculture depart ment gave corn growers assurance that the government will loan 50 cents a bushel on the large 1937 crop. The loans will be made, ac cording to current plans, on field com testing 14.9 per cent moisture content or less. The 50 cent rate will be reduced on corn containing more moisture. _* Morocco Uprisings RATIONALIST uprising* in ^ ' French Morocco, which have been giving the French government a lot of trouble, are blamed on agents of "a foreign totalitarian power," meaning Italy. The disorders, main ly in Casablanca, Fez and Medina, were quelled by troops, mostly Sen egalese legionnaires, and hundreds of arrests were made. The nationalists plotted to set up an independent Arab state with Moulay Allal El Fassi as king. ^jfo IDffTiH^L ? BEDDY FOX IS LAUGHED AT D EDDY FOX was miserable. Yes, sir, Reddy Fox was miserable. To be continually laughed at is enough to make any one miserable. No one ever likes to be laughed at unless they are trying to make peo ple laugh at them. Reddy Fox wasn't doing anything of that kind. Oh my, no! No, indeed! Reddy considers himself a very fine gen tleman and so, of course, he wouldn't think of doing anything to make people laugh at him. But they did laugh at him just the same, even the very smallest, and it was all because of the way he ran from Buster Bear with Jumper the Hare right at his heels. You see everybody pretended to believe that it was from Jumper that he was running away. So Reddy was very miserable. If he went down on the Green Mead ows Danny Meadow Mouse would be sure to call out: "Mr. Reddy has a scare At the shadow of a hare." Then Danny would laugh in the most provoking manner, and hide where Reddy could not get at him. If he went up to the Old Orchard he was sure to hear from Johnny Chuck: "When Jumper gets him on the go Reddy's anything but slow." Then Johnny would dive into the Reddy Fox Was Miserable? to Be Continnally Laughed at Is Enoofh to Make Any One Miserable. house and all Reddy could do would be to grit his teeth. If he went down to the Smiling Pool he would no sooner come in sight of Jerry Muskrat than Jerry would shout: "Reddy, Reddy, you watch out! Jumper's somewhere hereabout." Then Jerry would laugh in the most provoking way and Reddy couldn't do a thing, because Jerry would be swimming with only his head out of water. If he went to the Green Forest he would be sure to hear Unc' Billy Possum's funny chuckle from some tree overhead and then Unc' Billy would say: "Ah done hear say it fo' a fac\ Who runs away will sho' come back." Then all Reddy could do would be to grind his teeth and tell Unc' Billy what dreadful things he would do to him if he ever caught him. Now, of course, all that the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows did these things for was to tease Reddy Fox. When he grew angry they laughed, and the angrier he grew the harder they laughed. Of course that wasn't at all nice of them. But they didn't stop to think of that. Not one of them loves Reddy Fox, and now that they had a chance to get even with him for all the frights he had given them, and for all the mean things he had done to them, they were just bound to make the most of it. You see it didn't enter their heads that they might be making trouble for some one else. All they F=/llIIMAI.=il CRACKERS Br WARREN GOODRICH OMM-. "Got u aspirin, Herman?

Did you ever think of that? It'* so. You go ask Jumper the Hare. All Jumper's friends were laughing at Reddy Fox, and shouting mean things at him and calling him a coward, because they knew it made Reddy feel uncomfortable and mis erable. It didn't once enter their heads that they were making trouble for any one else. Yet they were. They were making a lot of trouble for some one else, and that some one was Jumper the Hare. ?T. W.

Whitman UNSTEADY WATER LEVEL A HOME owner is likely Jp be disturbed when he finds that the water in the gauge glass of his steam boiler is in violent action; that it does not remain at a steady level. The common cause for this is dirt and oil in the water. The effect is to cut down the efficiency of the boiler, to make heating less ef fective, and possibly to expose the boiler to damage. With a newly installed heating system, oil used in making the pipe connections eventually works back to the boiler and makes trouble. And not only oil; dirt in the pipes is also carried down. A new boiler should be cleaned a week or so after it has gone into service. Some months later there should be another clean ing. After that, if the water used is reasonably clean, the boiler should run for many seasons before a repetition is needed. Cleaning a boiler consists of us ing a cleaning compound that has the property of absorbing oil. The compound should not dissolve; it should be of such a nature that its particles, in circulating through the boiler, will have a grinding effect on scale and hardened sediment. The compound should remain in the boiler for a week or so when the fire is burning. The boiler should then be drained. The drain valve of a boiler is usually too small for the violent flow that would carry out the sediment. To assist matters, water under city pressure should be flushed through the boiler. A con nection can be made at the safety valve opening; another at the low er connection of the gauge glass, which is to be unscrewed from the Did You Say Cats? Jones, a wire-haired terrier that lives in Bay Ridge, Md., goes after teats on sight.. So whep he came to this signpost with the decorations atop he started right on up. boiler wall ; a third at the water sup ply connection. Many compounds are offered as boiler cleaners, but only a few of them are really effective. Washing soda is sometimes used, but is of little practical benefit. The boiler manufacturer can be asked to make a recommendation. An old estab lished and reliable steam fitter is likely to recommend a compound that he knows to be effective rather than one that offers him a good profit. When the water level is seen to be unsteady, a pint or so of boiler water should be drawn off and heat ed in ? saucepan. If it comes to a boil in the normal way, the boiler does not need cleaning. But if the water foams and sputters, cleaning is necessary, for there are sub stances in the water that check ef ficient operation. A home owner can clean his boil er; but in general, it is best to have the job done by a professional. C By Roger B. Whitman WNU Service. Meaning of Qui pa Quipu is a system of writing and record keeping used by the Incas in which they used knotted cords called quipus. Small cords with knots in them were attached to a main cord; the color of the cord, its place, size, and the number of knots were all of significance to the record or the message. The quipus had to be made up and deciphered by specially trained persons. The method of deciphering is not known. FALL DAYS ARE THE SAUSAGE DAYS <W Once Just Breakfast Dish, < ?? Now It Spreads Out. Br EDITH M. BARBER C AUSAGE has risen in the world. ^ While its association with break fast still remains, it is now allowed on the luncheon and supper menus. Of course, there was one exception to the old rule, as sausage has al ways been allowed to serve as a sort of a garnish for turkey or as a stuff ing for other fowl. The business woman housekeeper gives sausage, however, a star role, and when crisp fall days arrive she will occasionally choose it, as it de mands only a short time for its cooking. Sausage in cakes and sausage in links, whichever is preferred, may be used. There is no trick about cooking the first. Link sausage, however, needs special treatment to prevent the bursting of the cas ing. Of course, each link may be pricked with a fork, but I find it easier to allow sausage to cook in its own fat either in a covered pan on top of the stove or in an uncovered pan in the oven. In the first case, a low fame should be used for the first five minutes, after which the heat may be increased so that each link may be a golden brown. Fried apples seem to belong with sausage when served as a main course. Some of the fat which liq uefies as the sausage cooks may be used for cooking the apples in an other frying pan. Instead you may like to make your main dish a com bination of sausage and scrambled eggs, each of which seems to bring dut the flavor of the other. And onoe in a while you will probably have to humor the family by giving them griddle cakes even at supper time with their sausage. Try these: Sausage With Cream Gravy. 1 pound sausage 4 tablespoons Sour 2 cups milk Cook the sausages (if you use sausage meat, form into small cakes before cooking) in a heavy frying pan, tightly covered over a low heat for ten minutes. Then increase the heat until each link is brown. Re move sausages and all but four ta blespoons of the fat. Add the flour and when well blended, add the milk slowly, cook one minute, add sausages and reheat. Season with salt and pepper if necessary. Sausage and Apples. 6 sweet potatoes 3 apples 1 pound link sausage Boil the potatoes until soft and place in a greased dripping pan; pare, core and slice the apples and place between the potatoes. Place the sausage across the potatoes and bake in a hot oven (450 degrees Fah renheit) until the sausage is crisp. MOBE GOOD BECIPES Mint Jelly. 1 cup mint leaves and stems % cup vinegar . 1 cup water 3H cups sugar Green coloring V4 bottle fruit pectin Wash mint.

The trouble is that they're getting wise to us. As long as we could make them believe that it waa woman's right to be late ? as late as ever she pleased ? we were safe. The boy friends waited like patient sheep. They used to think that we had all kinds of secret rites to per form to make ourselves beautiful. But now they know that their girl friends can get to some office at 9 in the morning, and they're be ginning to think it's pretty funny that she can't get to the library steps by 6:30. It wouldn't be so bad if the girl friend would do her stint of waiting, too. But stand ? girl up for fifteen minutes and she wanders off to buy a pair of stock ings and then innocently tells you (V/ 6 It's Been Fifty-seven Minutes, mad He'i lost About Ready to Let His Date Spend the Evening Alone. the next day that she waited (or simply hours. They're led up. And so it's time we made a rule. Really, you know, a man shouldn't be asked to wait for more than half an hour. Well, anyhow, not more than fifty-five minutes. WNU Service. Original Glass Bottles Valuable It has been commonly acknowl edged that glass bottles, shortly after their invention, were "worth their weight in bold." But an item in the American Magazine indicate* that these transparent containers were valued much more highly than the yellow metal in old Egypt, where a price of $3,500,000 was set and paid on one glass bottle. Origi nally made only by master crafts- x men and used in the packaging of rare attars and cosmetics, glass ware required 40 centuries of study and refinement to reach its pres ent superiority and inexpensiveness. The common foodstuff bottles on our shelves today are more perfect by far than the crude bottles of long ago ? yet they cost us practi cally nothing! bring to a boil over a hot fire.

Re move from fire and skim. Strain jelly into clean, hot glasses. Cover with an eighth of an inch layer of paraffin. Yield ? five to six six ounce glasses. Scalloped Oysters. 5 tablespoons butter 4 cups soft bread crumbs 1 Vi teaspoons salt Pepper 1 tablespoon lemon Juice 1 pint oysters Melt the butter, add crumbs and seasonings and mix well. Drain oysters and arrange in alternate layers with the buttered crumbs in a greased baking dish. Bake twenty minutes in a hot oven, 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Esearole Milanl. Remove tough outer leaves of many heads of esearole, wash and cook until tender. Drain and cut coarsely. Saute one tablespoon minced onion in a little olive oil three minutes. Add drained esea role, pepper, salt and a generous amount of vinegar or lemon juice. Garlic may be used instead of the onion, and then discarded before the addition of the esearole. Baked Quinces. 8 quinces 6 sliced oranges % cup sugar 1V4 cups water Wash and dry quinces. Cut in quarters, core and pare. Place quinces and oranges in baking dish, sprinkle with sugar, add water, cov er and cook until tender in a slow oven, (300 degrees Fahrenheit). Quinces require a long time to cook. ?
