The jobs which Democratic leaders /LastvJZ.

He hopes that if the manufacture and sale of beer are mad. legal, the revenue therefrom will make it unnecessary to impose any higher taxes than we have at present. There has been a good deal of talk about Mr. Roose* velt's calling an extraordinary session of Congress immediately he becomes president It was learned today that he is exceedingly anxious to avoid having to do n JAPAft Some rather puzzling news comes from Asia today. It has been generally understood that there were most friendly relations between the Land of the Mikado and Soviet Russia. But today's reports indicate that these relations are no longer as tssaatses** as they night be. The Mikado's diplomatic representative in Moscow has notified hi s government that the Soviet has asked that the Japanese Military Mission leave Siberian territory. This mission has been in Russian fee* several week* to negotiate with a rebel Chinese general who has held some Japanese nrisoners. * report from Tokio declares that this message has not been taken in good part by the Japanese. In fact there are suspicions in the Mikado's coontiy that Soviet Russia Chine se has been stirring ud the jta.pa.nsKE against tne ^ orm . . CAl'iALA Canada, apnarently, has been one of the principal sufferers from that HavaLey-Smoot tariff act, about which there has been much discussion. An editorial in the Phila- Ar delphia Public Ledger this evening points out that the exports of farm products across the Canadian border last month were barely $460,000. In October, 1989, which was the last October before the Hawley-Smoot Act went into effect, Canada exDorted. farm products of five and a half million dollars. In October, 1920, when the Underwood Tariff was in effect, Canada sold Uncle Sam almost thirty million dollars worth. Consequently, says tne Ledger, Canadian iaimeis will be watching the activities of President-elect Roosevelt with keen interest after heAcoces president. GREENLAND There is considerable grief today on Greenland's icy Mountains. A real misfortune has happened because the radio Jt station of Scorsby Sound, in East Greenland, has burned down. Consequently the settlement there is cut off from communication with the rest of the world until aii next July. It will take that long for the waters in those regions to become navigable. In addition to the Danish colony and the natives of men the country, there is a scientific expedition of ten kixm in the district and they will have no news for the next seven months.

Well, my friend, Edward Tbmlinson and South America are frequently mentioned in the % iV same breath. For many years Mr. Tomlinson- has commuted back and forth between the continents of the western world, hobnobbing with Presidents, politicians. Generals, business men, and the people who make the wheels go round. He is just back from there He* s helping me celebrate Thanksgiving. So 1*11 ask him.

A story A The New York Herald Tribune today has quite an amazing stoiy ox the v/and.ei’i.rigs of a 14.—yeai' old. boy. According to the storya* tnis lad. told to the bociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, he has been without a home for two and. a half yearever since his father and. mother died. In those thirty monthsj he has lived entirely in box cars and cellars. The superintendent of the Bociety a reporter that he has rarely had a more puzzling case. They can’t make out whether or telling the truth. Sometimes5 the bxys boy says, he made monfey selling papers. hat frequently he made nothing, and slept either In parks or box cars or in stray cellars be is exceedingly proud of the warm clothes which the Bociety gave him, the first real clothes he has had in more than two years. He is also proud of the drawings he has been maxing which, according to reports, actually show talent. And this in spite of the fact that, from his own tale, he has never been to school in his life. Nevertheless, he has acquired a considerable funo.

Ci* -^U DOVES A cui ious item comes to me ifqm one or my neighbors. Mr. J. C. Archer, the game protector in Peekskill, New York, writes me that last Saturday it rained so hard near the old farm that it actually rained birds^ Mr. Archur says he picked -Rz, up several sea doves. These birds seemed, late-igg says^'to be in a daze. He adds that they are rarely found inland. Evidently the high winds of last Saturday forced them way up into the Hudson Valley and then the rain just beat them down. However, p i" n»iHghig^ x they were 'psscsjs±±^/ta.izen care of and have since back to i£jz sea. There will be one show next Tuesday afternoon in Sew fork which you may be sure will be crowded, xhe per- foraance will be tor the benefit of the New York Infirmary lor v,omen and Children. But the feature that will make it remarkable will be the first public appearance of Alfred E, Smith.^Now hold your henax horses - ^the first public appearance of Alfred E. Smith as a singer.

He has reviewed movements of all sorts, but never before has he led singing. The announcements of the show sidestep the job of describing Mr. Smith’s voice.
