'"and the other resorts of Reno frequented by the divorce colony. Two of the three banks in. Reno promptly took advantage of the moratorium, thus leaving not only the ranchers and the merchants of Nevada, but also the divorce hunters up against the important question 11 what shall we use for money?1' '5^^ - A gentleman described by the ^nflish newspapers as ”the dapoleon of' the unemployed11, was arrested by the London Bobbies at noon today. A dispatch to the New York Evening Post says he was to have led the hunger marchers in their visit to the House of Commons tonight. It was tonight that * the jobless of England proposed to present their petition to Parliament. The arrest of the Jobless Napoleon is described as part of an effort by the police to forestall serious rioting Incidentally, the jobless Napoleon has been credited with the responsibility for all of the thirty-eight riots that have raged over Great Britain this fall.

Mr. Dorflinger comments on my retoaiks recently that Pennsylvania leads all the states In the Union as a hunting ground. Mr. Dorflinger says this is particularly true of Pike County. The other night, he reports, Mr. George Unger of Boyertftown, Pa., who has a cabin in Pike County, started out to count deer. Within a distance of ten miles, without leaving car, t®*3r counted no less than 87, just within A A. a distance of 10 miles. This record was broken the night before by a neighbor, who reported having seen SOS deer in a single night. COP A marksmanship note from Chicago. Policeman Harry saw Partin of the Chicago Corcc-,/ xrs some tough looking characters A ride, in an automobile, past a stop light. They paid no attention 10 his whistle , so he fired at them. He fired twice. Pach of his bullets landed, ode of them in his own thigh and the other in his own ankle. I found 8 story in th <: To.ronLO ^tar which hardly needs any description. dome four &'nd a half years ago a German naint r came with his wife and two sons to Canada. ' a Twelve days ago he crossed over the border to Rouse's Point, Mew York, to complete a painting which he had started. The Immigration Officers of the United States arrested him. He >■% is now in the county jsil^ although it has not been established that he had any intention of ent- ring the United States -- jH’iCe’ illegally, he just to paint a picture. The idea now is to deport him, not back to Canada where his wife and two sons are. He will be deported to Germany just to make things easy for him and his family. HOOVER I presume most of you heard the 1moortant speeches delivered by ^r. Hoover and Roosevelt last night* r l111 not ^ive a resume of themyBut here 1s a side-11 ^ht. New York policemen breathed a sigh of relief today when their resoonsibi ' 1 for the safety of the president ended. Newspapers tmight a^e telling about one Incident last night which might have been serious. Actually it was a passing incident seen by very few people. As the President’s car slowed down, approaching the Waldorf-Astoria, a man rushed from the curb and jumped on the running board. He lifted his hand as if to strike the at President. Mr. Hoover recoiled and/a shout from one of the guards the chauffeur started the car. One of the President’s bodyguard caught the stranger around the neck and hurled him to the pavement. The man got to his feet and disappeared in the crowd before the police knew what had happened. The whole incident passed off almost unnoticed. ^The news in the campaign is that Mr. Hoovenis next important speech will he in St. Louis, Mo., Friday night. He wiT1 speak at Springfield, Illinois, on Friday afternoon — anri in Minneapolis on Saturday, ]Hi s plans thereafter tin to e1 ectio^ HOOVER - 2 day, are said to be indefinite. Dispatches from Washington report that Reoubllcan leadef'^ have urged Mr. Hoover to take a definite stand for Prohibition repeal. The dispatch adds that the President has rejected all the ^leadings of the G.O.P. leaders, and pronoses to stand exactly where he stood when he -made his speech of acceptance. SiAju .iiuu V-b^ Incidentally,, ikK Senator Huey H, Hoiio of Louisiana, the celebrated swawfish, somewhat astonished the country today by accusing the President of plagiarizing from, him - that is, - in last night1 s lew ’fork speech- ODDS The followlriK story is strictly against my princinles. T on1 y tell, it because a telegram' from Mr. Gilman of Chester, Nova Scotia, asks me +o tell what are the Wall Street betting odds on the election. Appropriately enough, on the front page of the New York Sun T happened to find a story to the effect that in Chicago today forty-eight thousand was placed on Roosevelt at odds of 16 to 5, more than three to one. Just to make a thorough job of it, I perhaps should add 2-1/S to 1 is offered that Roosevelt carries California* Anybody who wants this bet can yet it up to one hundred thousand dollars, they say. (lou can get three hundred thousand dollars at 3 to 1 that Roosevelt Is elected. You can get even money that Roosevelt carries. California by a hundred and seventy-five thousand majority, lou can get even money that 1'..D. carries New York by vet 200,000./ You can/even money that he carries Illinoi s by a hundr< and Fifty thousand. You can get even mon®y that vou canft name eight states which Mr, Hoover will carry. But a friend of mine sitting here 4n the studio says this 4s all hooey. You can hear ODDS - 2 r>lenty both ways. I trust that this strictly immoral story will satisfy those who are interested in bettlnr if there are any. Maybe you vl XI indulge me while I send a message to a friend in ■Labrador,. I have a post card, received today from Mr. Stephen ^overidge in Battle Harbor, Labrador, It is dated September ££nd, Mr, Love ridge he had just heard our news broadcast of that date. You may be interested to y-' i-evH know that be^ heard 1 Pittsburgh, A A Mr, Loveridge adds that he propose# to listen in A A again on the third and £ iim on the sixty of October, I'm A /M- ^, sorry I didn11 get his post card sooner^ %ut I hope he wttS- receive this greeting and acknowledgment of his message. A dispatch from 'Washington to the Detroit News reports: an important development in aerial transportation. The Post Office Department today extended its airmail and passenger service on the transcontinental route. It is explained that this is done to meet increased demands. Under the revised schedule which went into force today, the service will provide three transcontInental ctm t>oh*»e^dally from New York instead of two. There will he an additional round trip to Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Indianapolis, St, Louis, and Kansas City. From Los Angeles to Kansas City there will be two round trips instead of one every day, ^Then a dispatch from general headquarters of the Transcontinental and western Air Lines at Kansas City, Missouri, reports that coast to coast passenger service will be inaugurated on a twenty-four hour schedule. This schedule v/ill be effective November 5th. This represents a reduction of eleven hours from the existing time. It will I- r.

J.bUnX.kik A grand jury In Jacksonville, Florida, indicted nine men on a charge of attacking and flogging defenceless men and rom n in so-called night»riding-raids. Five of the men have been arrested. A dispatch to the Atlanta Journal points out that the news of these night riding outrages come on top of the revelations of torture practised in the Florida prison camps.

A dispatch to the Indianapolis Times relates that the has recently granted seven loans for projects which are self- liquidating. One of them is a program to eliminate slums in Mew York. Ahe other schemes for which the ^^ •L-• has lent money X L « J are of a similar nature You didn* t know that a war was going on in the United States, did you? It started between the states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Keystone State, so the folks say, started it by refusing to allow trucks with license plates issued by other states to operate for hire within the boundaries of Pennsylvania. When Pennsylvania started this. New Jersey replied in effect: "All right, if you want to get tough, so will we". So New Jersey reciprocated. The Automotive Daily News reports today that the states of Delaware and Maryland have joined the war of retaliation against Pennsylvania, If this sort of thing keeps up, it is liable to make motor travel within these happy states rather complicated The folio rim1; is an unusual sort of story to report from i^ew Y mk City. A gale swept dovm on that part of thiT 0iTtyi which is on Lons Island, and no less than eighty /V_ /\ o ^ bungaloe were blown down. Twenty of them were swept by the g&j.e' into Jamaica Bay. ^ome of the houses caught fire and the A*. fire department had a tough Job in that high wind.

This may sound like a fcfcRX <y~> < TaOtt S fire insurance ad, but it isn’t. /v Now follows the tragedy of a st t of false teeth A gentleman who hails from County Mayo started out last night in New York City, the very night of Mr, Hoover’s personal appearance at Madison Square Garden, to do a little spell binding for AX Smith and Governor Roosevelt. The gentleman started for Madison Square Garden with the pious intention of doing a little high class booing. The trouble with that was he couldn’t get into the Garden. But there were plenty of places near by that he could get into, and did. Thereafter he started to address several impromptu street meetings. For 10 minutes,tksucM®xfema he held an audience of several hundred entranced right on Broadway. In fact, the crowd was so large that traffic was held up and an unsympathetic copper investigated. The Law discovered that the orator had no license to speak on the public streets so he was taken to the * When he faced the desk lieutenant, he was about to give a most satisfactory explanation. Unfortunately, at the crucial moment, his false teeth dropped out and he became A speechless.
