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.

moat spectacular upset this sta
dium has even trembled to. 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.

on a yard -making trip from hi
own 35-yard mark. At the forty
yard line he smashed into Grif

and seized its chance. 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

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

down a broken field for the sec

the country' productive capacity.
"High prices that have ruled on

the cause of business activity, but
a reflection of it, magnified by

For tho past year, tho Itevlow
