Wall St. Crumbs. rSafety In Insurance. A News Theatre. (Copyright by Kins Feature Syndicate, Inc.) The earth turns on its axis about 1,000 miles an hour, 23, 000 miles in 24 hours. 5eeause of its size, the earth's motion is slow. . At the same comparative rate of speed, you could not detect any motion in a cart wheel, revolving onee in 24 hours. However, President Hoover complains, there is something slower, and that's the senate's Ijimtiou on the tariff. It has been considering a tariff bill, as the president says, "since June, with fifteen schedules to work out, and has not yet completed schedule 1." In the Wall Street canyon, leading from Trinity church where men give thanks for winning, down to East River docks, convenient for jumping, all was quiet yesterday. Spar rows were picking up crumbs from messenger boys' lunches. They arc scarce, Wall Street boys usually go to restaurants. In brokers' offices clerks and bosses were working day and night, catching up. They lxo had collected some crumbs, while customers were collect ing large of experience. ft Will liogers says it will com fort " poor people who lost their stock in the. late crash to know that it has fallen into (he hands of Mr. Rockefeller who will see that it has a good home." Mr. Kogers, not by accident the richest actor and manager in the world, knows that Mr. Rockefeller's purchases plus purchases by George F. Baker and others and the wise' in crease in dividends of corpor al ions that could afford it, saved thousands of the little people from complete destruc I ion. F. H. Kcker, president of Metropolitan Life, biggest in ,t siirance company in the world, replies, to a question concern ing recent Wall Street excite ment : "Drastic deflation of market prices of shares of common stock in no wise affects life insurance policies issued by companies whose investment practice, guided by laws, such as those of the state. of New York, or the sound judgment of executives, excludes com mon stocks from their hold ings. "More than ever has this re cent experience demonstrated that life insurance is the saf est, most dependable repository for the savings of millions of nur population, furnishing at JJio same time sound protection imainst loss which follows in the wake of death." New York lias the world's first news theatre. Moving pic tures show news events only, and being "sound news-reels" they tell both the ear find the eye what has happened.

Cali fornia's under-rated Bears smash ed their way to leadership of the Pacific coast conference today with a nerve-tingling 15-7 victory over the strong Trojan herd. Some 79,000 persons jammed into the huge bowl could scarcely believe their eyes as a forward Trojan squad was battered t'J pieces by a California team of smashing power and unrivuilcti defensive play. California's triumph left It n:i undisputed leader of the confer ence and winner over one of its greatest rivals. California still has three con ference games -to play. Two should provo easy victories but a great battle is assured in the third, which pits the Hears against their j oldest conference rivals, Stanford. . The Blue and Cold stalwarts j got down to business with the opening kickoff. Before their tre- 1 mendous rushes, tho Trojan for ward wall that held Stanford so effectively last week, crumbled today as though built up of pa per. Southern California's famed four-man interference bounced back or tumbled like ten phis be fore an almost impenetrable de fense. If the Trojans got past the first line they bumped into an air tight secondary wall. A Southern California fumble down. Muslck, fullback, started on a yard -making trip from hi own 35-yard mark. At the forty yard line he smashed into Grif fiths' husky Bear halfback. Th-i hall hounded from Mustek's arms. Five players dove for It.

Lorn bang ed the line for gains of two yards, then three yards. On the next play he shot a pass to Kisan that netted 14 yards and a first down on the Trojans 22-yard mark. Griffith contributed his "bit" with a sizzling lash around left end. after shaking off two tnck lers. When he dropped, he drop ped a scant seven yards from goal. Gill, fullback, took up the bur- den: got his head down and bored through for nearly four yards to stop three Inches from the line. On the next play he drove over. Griffiths sent the ball sailing bo- twoon the uprights with a place kick An nff-slde penalty sent the Bears to their own 15-yard line. The crowd looked for a kick and got it. mentally, as the bril liant iMm broke loose and wcaved down a broken field for the sec ond touchdown.

The Detroit committee reports tw more cars are being ripened for next week's sales. A big de mand for these is anticipated, due to the Inclement weather between October 17 and October 22. This curtailed the movement of pears considerably. It also affected all other lines of fruit but with good weather promised, prices should go up. Following Is the fifth weekly letter sent to the trade In Detroit: Gentlemen: Tho housewives of Detroit are buying Medford Bosc pears freely, There Is nothing re markable about that fact as tho Hose pear from Medford, Ore., has no rival. Tho truly remarkable feature of our sales campalKn Is the signifi cant fact that tho average Detroit Joblcr knew nothing about the real quality of the Bosc pear. Ijist year Bosc pears wore almost unknown In Detroit, Mich. Today tho Jobber is compelled to place Bosc on his list of food articles that must be handled.

(A) The National City bank, In its monthly review of economic conditions, published tomorrow; will say that never before In the history of the country have industries been bet ter fortified as to cash, condition of Inventory, or soundness of cor porate structure. "Violent as has been tho de cline," It says of the stock mar ket crash, "and serious as have been tho losses of Individuals, we do not believe It has altered tho fundamentals of the business situ ation, Tho losses huvo been losses to individuals, not losses reducing the country' productive capacity. "High prices that have ruled on tho stock exchange have not been the cause of business activity, but a reflection of it, magnified by more or lens extravagant expecta tions which Induced the speculat ing public to extend Itself beyond Its means." For tho past year, tho Itevlow eon ti tines, tight money has been Ihe chief cause of concern In the minds of competent authorities, and now this should bo naturally corrected by a subsidence of tho abnormal demand for market spec ulation.
