NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Inland Waterway Projects Being; Pushed to Give Work to Unemployed. EDWARD W. PICKARD OltK for the unemployed was the thought In the mind of the thousand or more members of the Mississippi Vulley nssoela tlon when they gathered In St. Louis for their annual convention. Consequently the speakers urged that the Inland waterways be speeded up hy the govern-men- t By tiro-gra- m so that the projects In the valley now authorized might be completed In live years Instend of fifteen. Tills would mean the expenditure on them of $100,000,000 a year for the next five years. Secretary of War Hurley, win. was present, agreed with others that quick completion of the Illinois waterway was vital to the progress of the program and said the war department would include In the deficiency bill in congress next month an item that would permit work on that link to start this winter. "President Hoover." said Secretary Hurley, "has given mea permission to nsk congress for "nellclen.,- - nnnronriation to carry on the lncrPase( work on this year., jt wjn enable speeding up for the nter wont lis. twimtnr "As to the Illinois wterwnv. I am anxious to get the shoveis toH When we lng and to get going. get that project completed, connecting the Great Lakes with the Mississippi, it will be a tremendous step In the 9.0()0 miles of Inland waterways so long talked about." It developed that If the government goes ahead speedily, as Mr. Hurley wishes, the state govern ment of Illinois must get busy with the construction .of five bridges at Joliet and seven below that city, for the water could not be turned In before those bridges are built. Maj. Gen. Lytle Brown, chief of engineers In charge of the valley projects, thus set forth the attitude of the federal engineers : "Here Is what we have in view now in the valley : "1. To drive the Illinois waterways to completion with nil speed. "2. To prosecute with vigor the Improvement of the Missouri from its mouth to Sioux City. "3. To execute the flood control work on the lower Mississippi as the law contemplates, looking nil the time for more perfection In the plans. "4. To push the Ohio improvement cut from the main stem as rapidly as the means availablewill permit. "I believe In .Xhe St. Ltrtrrenee waterway tqfrfie sea. but I am the Illinois waterway is more vital to our prosperity than is even the St. Lawrence waterway. Chicago is the most Important place on the lakes, and tbere is "on the lakes an aggregation of industrial and population centers such as even now is not matched on any other trade route on earth." J HOOVER is anxious . PRESIDENT government do what it can, under existing laws, to help state and local authorities In their war on gangs and racketeers, but he vigorously denies the published report that he will propose to con- gress any extension of the federal criminal laws for this purpose.

Many loud speakers were placed in the court room and elaborated the proceedings were broadcast throughout Russia. Kamsin told In detail how engineers bad started the conspiracy because they were poorly paid and placed In the ostracized class; how he personally went to Paris and received from the French general staff and from Russian emigres there contributions of $2,800,000 to carry on the plot. The other defendants were heard afterward, and the stories of all of them served to bolster the Soviet government's accusations against foreign nations nnd individuals who were to he repaid by territory and concessions. In a copyright Interview with a United Press correspondent. Dictator Stalin Is quoted as denying contemptuously the recent rumors of revolts and mutinies. He gave a special message to the United States, saying: "If it cannot establish political ties with the United States the Soviet Union at least desires to strengthen its economic ties with America. And America, being a great, wealthy, technically progressive find developed country, must appreciate the advantages of such economic intercourse as much as we do."

Santa had put a great deal of care Into making that doll for she was to go to a little girl who was 111 Id the hospital. lUltzen thought it the very best paint he had ever tasted, and as he was alone In the workshop at the time he contln ued to lap everything In sight that had red palnl on It. Lap. hip, lap went his tongue until he had fin lshed a whole ghelf full of toys. Of course Santa was angry, as angry as such a Jolly person could be. and he made Blilzen stay In the barn for three days and three nights But that is not the worst part ol the story. Christmas eve came and all the reindeer were harnessed and waiting for Santa. "Have you all of your bags, tfear?" asked Mrs. Santa. "Yes, we have everything and are on our way to wish the world a very Merry Christinas," answered Jolly old Santa. "Humph," said Blltzen to himself, "and humph again.'- Tlie red paint had had a bad effect upon bis disposition. Off they sped and up, up, up they sailed through the air. Blitzen was going along beautifully when he suddenly wondered what Vixen would do if he Blitzen, should bite his tail. "Not very hard," thought Blltzen to himself. "Just enough to make him Jump." And as they hurried along that winter's night, BUtzen reached out his tunny .vrnfin nose and bit Vixen's tail hard. Vixen Jumped, then he kicked Donder, who In turn J'fcrtih. kicked the upsetting it. Ovei It went ami down it went, Santa, toys and all. Fortunately they all landed in a soft snowbank. Santa picked his snowy self up, put the toys back In the sleigh and off they started once again. The first house they came to wns a lovely t Id farm house. Santa and the reindeer made a beautiful landing on the roof. "Now while I am gone see that you behave." said Sania and down the chimney he went. As soon a he was out of slight, Blitzen started trouble again. "Iium-ilun- i diddle-dudum ! See what I can do!" lie snorted, and he crossed his front legs-- slumped his hind ones nnd sat down kerplunk on the roof. "Here, here," shouted Santa, as he came up the chimney. "What Is the meaning of all this noise? It sounded I like an earthquake. thought every moment that the roof would cave in. If you can't stand still on the tops of the houses 1 shall most certainly leave you on the ground." Santa knew that this would be a dreadful punishment to tliein all as they were tery proud of being able to stand on the tops of houses. The next house had a slanting roof with a peak at the top and when Santa had gone down the chimney that mischievous Blitzen promptly sat down again, kerplunk, snorting his favorite song, The first thing he knew he hnd started to slide and couldn't get up quickly enough to prevent sliding all the way to the Over the roof he went, ground. dragging the sleigh and his seven brothers with him. Out of the chimney came Santa and leaned over fjie peak of the roof to call the principal trainmen's unions of the United States nnd Canada.
