In Bpltc of ubJectioDB trom highest flnaDclal authorltjr, Including Secre- tary Mollon, the House approved over- wbelmlnsly. 363 to 39, the bill to let veterans borrow one-bait the value of their war certiflcatcs. It they all bor- row one-bait. Uncle Sam will have tb pay out more than fifteen hundred million dollars, and high finance says that will be rutnouB. As a rule, \Big Money.\ which meani ability, should receive respectful at^ tention. as does the captain of a ibip. But high finance la Bometlmes mlB- taken. Big bankers said the Federal Reserve system would ruin the coun- try, because It kept a few men from oODtrolllng all the money. They '^'cre wrong. ' Without the Federal Eeserve this country would have bad a black panic, long ago. -They may he wrong In their Idea that handing a billion dollars to those that need It, and earned It, will mln us now. In bis introduction to the writings of George Washington, prepared for next year's 200th anniversary, Presi- dent Hoover says Washington's engi- neering ability has never been fully appreciated. Washington's methods were surpris- ingly modern. He reclaimed the Dismal Swamp in Virginia, was adviser and engineer on the Potomac and James River Canal and first to advise a combined high- way and waterway from the Atlantic Coast to the Ohio River. The President describes his prede- cessor as \the most potent human Intellectual force In the firmament of American intellect.\ George Washington was the first engineer to occupy the White House. President Hoover is the second. A war with England Interfered with Washington's engineering activities. A war with bootleggers Interferes with Hoover's. ClvllluiUon expresses horror of re- ligious fundamentalists in Turkey. They want their old Mohammedan re- ligion restored, veils on women's faces, fezses on men's beads. Twenty-sevet^ of these religious pro- testors were hanged recently and It Is expected others will he hanged as rap- Idly as they are caught Mustapha Kemal does not believe In half-waj lures. 26th District May Continue As Is Reappointment Expected to be ConRn- ed to dtj Area With Two Districts Added. Much DUwmsloti Over Boun- daries. W. Kingsland Macy, chairman of the Republican State Committee and Col- onel LaFayctte B. Qlcason, secretary, returned last Friday from Washington where they discussed with the Republi- can Congressional delegation the ques- tion of reapportionment of Congres- sional districts In this state under th> latest census. Negotiations are to be begun at once with the Democrats to arrive at a new delineation of districts which will meet with non-partisan agreement in the legislature. Inasmuch as the upstate Representa- tives desire that their district lines re- main undisturbed. Congressional reap- portionment is expected to effect only the districts in the metropolitan area in which the greatest increases and shirts of population have occurred. Negotiations for agreement on new boundaries hold prospects of intraparty dilutes among both Republicans and Demcrats and possibly one struggle between the two parties. Virtually every district boundary line In New York City, Westchester, Rockland, Nas- sau and Suflolk counties may be affect- ed and two new districts are to be created. The Republicans are said to have hopes that the Democrats wUl agree to a proposal to make one new district Democratic and one Republi- can, but there may be a disagreement between the two parties as to whether the Democratic district should be carved out of Long Island or the Bronv. Each 280,000 of irapulatlon is entitled to a Representative. On that basis the last census would appear to have necessitated the following changes In the metropolitan area. Kings county, which now has eight Representatives, would be entitled to nine, with a population surplus of 40,400; New York and Richmond coun- ties, which now have eleven Repre- sentatives, would be entitled to only seven, with a surplus of 65,650; Queens, which now has one district and parts of two others, would be entitled to ttoee full districts, with a surplus of 239,000, while the Bronx, which now has also one district and parts of two others, would be entitled to four dis- tricts, with a surplus of 1^,250. West- chester now shares two districts with the Bronx and Rockland county. Nas- sau and Suffolk have one district, with a surplus of 164,000. Manhattan's losses through compara- tive shrinkage In population would go to Democratic territory in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens, but, It Is ex- pected, not without protest tnm Man- hattan Democratic leaders, since so great a loss would affect not nly New York county's representation In Con- gress, but also at party national con- ventions. William L. Ward, leader of West- chester, Is understood to desire two complete districts in his county and Rockland county, wblh would be Re- publian. That would require that he be given one of the new districts, leav- ing the other new district, whlh would be expected to be carved out of largely Democratic territory, to Long Island. There, the Republicans of Suflolk and Nassau, as well .as in parts of Queens also desire to have a new Republican district, which would mean that the other new district would be. created largely In the Democratic Bronx, de- priving Westchester of a new Repub- lian district. A suggestion has been made that Rockland be cut off from its present Westhester afflliatlons and tacked on the Representative Hamilton Fish's dis- trict, but there has so far been no as- surance that this arrangement might be acceptable to Representative Fish. It is expected that such an arrangement would find opposition from Mr. Ward also, since it would mean a continued sharing of ne district with the Bronx to a degree that might make It Demo- cratic. Long Island Republicans and Demo- crats alike are said to feel that the great increase in population there en- titles them to prior consideration over Westchester. New York Central Pensions Rise Uncle Ab says that men are often made by the Jobs they lose. A Frenchman says that few Ameri- cans know any thing at>out soup. Well most of us are In It right now—up to our necks. Retired employees of the New York Central Unes numbering 5,493 received $3,184,588 from the pension fwid in 1930, an Increase of 387 hi the ntmiber of pensioners and of $310,907 in pay- ments over the preceding year. The company granted 811 pensions last year, of which 332 went to em- ployees with forty or more years' ser- vice and 41 to employees with 50 or more years' service. The average an- nual pension granted in 1930 was $784 compared with $275 in the first year of the plan 21 years ago. It is estimated that the pensions granted In 1930 will cost about $5,969,628. In Brewster Frank E. LeFevre and Henry Williams are now eligible to receive the pension.

It probably will be news to most moving picture fans that the same de- partment of government that super- vises the schools of the State also passes upon the motion pictures to be shown and issues required licenses. Last year these people of the State Education E>eparimcnt reviewed 1,710 miles of film and cut out objectionable parts from 310 pictures. After paying expenses the State made a profit of $150,894.32 from license fees In the mo- tion picture division.

Damp wood was used to make tbe fire burn slowly and prolong tbe agony. I'robably tbe plan miscarried, since damp wood, produce ing much smoke, would suffocate the victim before burning really began.
